Brad, can I start, Timon? Yeah. Can I start with my win of the week this week? Go ahead, Timon. Go for it. Yeah, answer. Yeah, just go. Yesterday, I am working at my desk,

my office in our back bedroom, and I got headphones on, which I don't know why I was doing that. I was home by myself. I could have enjoyed the free flowing nature of, what are they called? Incandescent speakers? Yeah. Incandescent. Yeah, yeah, the built-ins. Yeah, just using, whatever.

That's all part of it. So I have my headphones on, I'm editing, and I get a Ring Doorbell notification. Now with the construction happening on my street, this happens about, I've tried to count like 95 times a day. So there's no point in having a ring doorbell. And you turn it on, you keep it on. I have it on the lowest sensitivity possible. Every dump truck, every trash truck, every large breeze of wind.

Hey, something's at your door. That's the voice. That's good to know because I've thought about getting a ring doorbell. Maybe I don't want one. Yeah, the lowest sensitivity. Still so sensitive. Okay. It's like a... I don't need to tell you what it's like. It's like it's like the take those snowflakes. Oh yeah. Why winner of the week is the election. No. Okay. Wait but you do want it to you do why do you have it on in general like you do want to be notified of some stuff do you have it on in general? Like, do you want to be notified

of some stuff? We got it because Rachel swears one night that someone was at our door before we got a ring. Gotcha. OK. Knowing what I know now about the way she sleeps and dreams and the way they combine. 100 percent was a

dream. But I was like, OK, let's do it. Ring doorbell. Yep. Anyway, I get a ring doorbell notification and then I hear the sounds of what sounds like our mail lady every day kind of Rustling around the kind of the the tin thing out there. Maybe because you got a box connected to the house Yep, so you hear it like okay great. Hey males here fun and then I hear what sounds like this the glass door open and

then I'm like I swear that's our main door opening and like with even with headphones on I'm like, I swear that's our main door opening. And like, even with headphones on, I'm like, someone's coming in the house. It's like 1 p.m. This wouldn't be Rachel. And then we've got a double-sided fireplace in our house. So my view, I can see through the fireplace into the living room and I can see footsteps.

Two sets of feet. Two. with boots. Dude, it's the Pollo Zermano's guys. It's the guys from Breaking Bad. Not necessarily like those kind of like snakeskin kind of boots. Like walking slowly, there's a bat. Yep, I was like, oh my gosh, like I'm a home invasion.

It's happening and I'm here. I've read the data. This isn't supposed to happen, especially when someone's home. This is what I tell other people not to be afraid of. It's happening. Stop worrying about it. Yeah. I'm like, I can't believe I got a fight, I guess. And I'm like, headphones are off.

I'm like, oh my gosh, it's happening. What in the world? Rachel hired cleaning ladies. Oh. And they just come right in. Oh my gosh. Hola! We are a key. You're like, what's your name? Yeah, you come out swinging. You're like, yeah, I don't have guns in the house. Except for these babies. Except for Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary right here. Why I oughta, why I oughta. It most effective to see them punch both at the same time.

Yep. You get the most force doing that. Because then neither of them can fight back. No, and I do it cross, sometimes too. I'll cross them, and on the way back, elbow them. Yeah, just double, elbow down. So I was gonna do all that, but my win of the week is that they were lovely women

and were not here to burglarize or murder me. That is wonderful. I'm so glad because that... I was getting hot. I bet, dude. That would be wild. It's like, oh, mailman. I mean, very quickly it went from mailman

to like boots, someone. They just barged in my house. BTK, yeah. Oh, okay. Speaking Espanol. Oh, okay. Yeah. No one's ever done anything bad who speaks Espanol

Oh, I do I think this type means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat to Midwest best friends eating fast We would on repeat so come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet cause it's a ghost from a spa camp. Ghost from a spa camp. There among the morning with Jake and Grandma. Ghost from a spa camp. Ghost from a spa camp. That's crazy. Yeah, they're great. Rachel found out about these, the Duckworth use them.

Okay. Cause at first it's like, do we need cleaning ladies? I'm like, well, the Duckworth use them. It can't be that expensive. Exactly. So yeah, let's do it. So yeah, it's great. Yeah. How often is it like, there's coming once or is it like, I think it's gotta be a once a month. Yeah. That's nice. Oh yeah. I mean, they clean, it's perfect. They clean all the places you don't want to clean. Yes. Toilets, toilets and floors. I'm talking toilets and I'm talking,

getting on the ground and getting on the floor. Yeah, absolutely. We did that for a while and unfortunately, so much of it was like they organized and tidied things up and by the time, you know, lunch was over, the kids had already, you know, made the house crazy. So it's like, was that worth it? I tried to do it to like bless Catherine, but maybe we'll go back to it someday. Well, if you do, don't tell Catherine because that's the most fun. Just like, let them just come in.

And I actually did know Rachel did tell me and I just completely forgot. That is why, maybe they did knock or whatever, ring doorbell, but you just ignored it. I mean, there's definitely a good chance too Rachel texts and was like, Hey, I won't be there, you guys just go on in. Oh yeah.

You know, so it's all good. Yeah. It's all good. It's all bueno. It's all bueno. Toro bueno. How long did it take them? Oh, probably an hour and a half. That's not bad.

It was great. I didn't know what I was supposed to do. Cause I, so at one point I left, got some canes, came back, and then I'm back at my desk eating it, working, and they start to vacuum the room. And you're like, you're like, lifting up your legs. I did.

I got my headphones on. I can do that just fine. I was like, well, to leave the room seems a bit excessive. It's going to take five seconds. Yeah. Or I can lift up my legs, give them a little wave. Thank you. That is funny. So I just let them go. Thank you, give them a little wave. Thank you. That is funny.

So I just let them go. Thank you. Had a little chicken strip. Thank you. This is good. That's good. You don't need to get everywhere. Thank you.

Yeah. Yeah. I have crumbs cause I eat here. Yeah. Yeah, it is. I heard a lot of. Now, if you had Spanish cleaning girlies leaving your house, you say thank you.

You say gracias. And what do you think I said? I would say gracias, I think you said gracias. I went for both. Oh good, just in case they didn't understand one of them. Like the most common thing you could know, they live in the United States, but they've never heard thank you before.

Thank you, oh, gracias. That's how I did it. I really layered it on thick. Trey and I have talked about that before. Like the guy, the whitest guy at a Mexican restaurant, like, like almost has a Hibbally accent and tell us time. Yeah, I'll take a Coke and I'll take a, uh, kind of that. Like, dude, what, where did that come from? Just talk normal. And how's the mole here? Is it pretty autentico? Yeah, I mean, we were just wondering, do you guys do tables like guacamole?

Yeah. I'll take some tequila. It's like, yeah. Just chill on that. I mean, you hear it in like, I was gonna say audio books, but I don't know. Just anytime there's like someone like professional speaking, I feel like whether it's a voice automated thing

when it comes time. Yeah, yeah, it's like super, super tangy. Okay, now let's practice our colors. Blue, asul. Blue, asul. Exactly. Red, rojo. It's like, you're the same person. Yeah. Red. Rojo. It's like, you're the same person.

Yeah. Just say Rojo. Rojo is fine. I'm from Kansas. Welcome to Bass Pro Timeshares. We've got spots in Branson, Wisconsin Dells, or Puerta Vallarta. Cabo San Lucas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Baja California.

That was me yesterday. Yeah. Guys, you were awesome. Thank you so much. Gracias. Para trabajar. Limpiar. Trabajar.

Yeah, that's great. No, I think, I think. Tu es limpias. Limpiaras. The limpia. Tu y tu y tu. Dos limpi. Dos limpi.

Dos limpi. Dos limpi. Dos limpi. Dos limpi. Dos limpi. Dos limpi. I think 2S, LimpiS, LimpiRs. The Limpi-2E2E2. Those Limpi audios. So yeah, that's great. Alvaro, that segment was for you. Alvaro, my guy. That's pretty funny. I'm glad that you got that cleaning done. I think that's great.

Thanks. Yeah, it is funny. Like, I think it's fine to be like, like don't say PIP. I mean, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP.

I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just saying, I'm not saying PIP. I'm just that you got that cleaning done. I think that's great. Thanks. Yeah, it is funny.

Like, I think it's fine to be like, don't say polo for poyo. Like say poyo. Yeah, don't say tortilla. If it's on the menu and it says poyo magnifico, say that, don't go, can I please have the poyo magnifical? That's like, don't say that. Yeah, that's a good hybrid pronounce the letters correctly

But don't don't add any sauce to it. I seasoning to it. Yeah, let them do that So if you're talking to someone who just spoke Spanish, you wouldn't like try to speak it in like a I don't know accent I would just like I guess I was close to their pronunciation Like as I could the closer you get the more you sound like you're making fun of them I think I think it like have you ever heard? Oh Timon really okay, if I sound like that if I go oh, yeah Stas like it's like a different boy. It's like your eyebrows look like you're making fun of them

Okay, straight face. That's more Como esta It's the voice it's, that's not my voice. I know. I'm saying there's no need for that. You can do the accent. Sí. Hola, cómo estás?

Como estás? Como? Estás. Hola. What? I'm not doing that. Hey, cómo estás? Hola. Como estás para ti, amigo. Que onda, wey? That's what you want to say. I can't use the accent.

Yeah, I just, I don't know. I'm not really. No, I, I there's, there's a, there's a balance. I don't think you, you're right. I just, I want to say it right. I don't want to be like, like, like Mexico, not Mexico. You know, like Mexico is how you're supposed to say it right. I don't want to be like, like, like Mexico, not Mexico, you know, like Mexico is how you're supposed to say it. But I want to be like, Oh, it is a Mexico. I don't know. It's like, it's like, if a, if a Spanish person did like a, like a California dude

accent to me, like, hey man, how you do? It's like, that is so, that's not your accent, that's not their accent. It's something in the middle that's not right at all. Yeah. How would you say gracias to like, like how would you say it? That's, I mean, gracias, gracias. That's great.

I know, I'm very good at speaking Spanish, Timon. If it's one Spanish word in a sentence, you can't layer it on. Like you spent the last 60 years in Mexico all of a sudden. But if you were like living there, speaking a full, full sentences at a time, or just even conversing with someone who speaks Spanish, if it's a full sentence, you can have a little, you have a little tilde on your accent. Yes, that's fair. But if it's one word in a sense. Here's how I like to imagine it. Every word's a bite. Every word's a bite. You're eating a pancake. All right. Every word's a bite.

You don't put syrup on one bite. Can we eat sopapias? You either. OK, you have sopapias. You either put honey in every bite of a sopapia or not at all. Like, you don't just like throw it on one and be like, whoa, I guess we're having honey on our sopias now. Yeah, is this going to be a healthy one? It's a sopa-pilla all of a sudden again. It's like, no, no, no. Yep.

Yeah. That's good. Sopapias are nice, dude. They're good. We grew up going to a place called Don Chilito's. You ever heard of that place? I've heard of it. It's no longer in business.

But it was around for a long time. And they had all you can eat sopapias. Oh, wow. And we took advantage. Good for you. eat sopapias. Oh wow. And we took advantage. Good for you. Yeah, it was awesome. Limited ammo. It was, it was the most like, why do you go here place?

But we loved it as like literally you would order your food. You go through this line, you order your food and they would take your food that they make in front of you kind of like Chipotle esque, but they make their food in front of you. And then they turn around and put it in a microwave and microwave it. would take your food that they make in front of you, kind of like Chipotle-esque, but they make their food in front of you and then they turn around and put it in a microwave and microwave it. And then they come back and give you the plate.

Perfect. No, all American people. Oh really? Not all, but. Don. Oh yeah, Don was, yeah. His name was Don. So anyway, it was awesome.

It was the perfect like in between. It's like right off of like try mission parkway or shawty johnny johnson drive in 35. So it's perfect spot between my cousins and liberty me and Olathe. So we'd meet there. So where the big biscuit is now. That's where the big biscuit is now. Yeah, exactly. So RIP Don Chalito's my dad, of course, when they were going out of business, he's like, I had to go there one more time. You know, like went and ate there like the week they were closing. But anyway, well, that's nice. Yeah. That reminded me some you did the Bass Pro Shop thing at one point. I went to Bass Pro with

the kids recently and almost recorded. I should have recorded myself. I didn't like try that hard to get solicited by the travel people, but I guarantee you it was the same woman. Like the description that you gave really like this woman was that woman. It had to have been dyed red hair. Yes. I was going to say like, yeah, almost like perp, like maroonish. Yes. Yep. Yep. Did she comment something on your body? She didn't say anything to me. No, I, I, like I said, I had three of my kids with it was Datter days. And so I was there with them. And so I don't know, maybe that was part,

but she was already talking to somebody else one time. And then I went by again, I was like, maybe I should record this time. She's not talking to anybody, but I didn't. It's not a great story, but I did notice that there were a bunch of pieces of paper with people's names on it. Yeah. Did Steve Koop get one of those?

No, those are for like, like veterans. Okay. No stolen valor from Steve. No, he didn't. Because they asked him, do you want to shout out a specific veteran or something? I think at that point he was ready to get out of there. He's like, no, no, no, it's all good. I don't have any family or anything.

And then they were like, you can just write everyone. You can write all members. You can write a specific branch of the art. And he's like jeez You write to me out of here. Yeah, whatever you want. I'll see you later. Yeah, is that the closest best bro to us? I mean legends is not very far from us. It's like 15 minutes. I bet the one to late is also 15 20 minutes. Yeah, I gotta go back and take my boots back Yeah, get some other ones or I borrowed some from the Coupes. Okay

Good. Yeah. I think they're both pretty close should play this game Let's do it teach us how to play I've only played once but time you played any nope any any I've seen it never played myself so Nanny Nanny All right, so I will pick out a little card here. This game's called Wavelength. This game's called Wavelength. Apparently there's also an app if you wanna test it out. You're joking. Gabe told me that.

So Gabe Oliver and Matty Oliver, yeah, they said they've been playing it. They bought it and then it said in there, try our app. And they're like, well, we just spent all this money on something, we could have had an app for. All right, so I think this game should be called spectrum because of how it's played Well, we'll go a wavelength. So I'll draw a card see on this card on the left It says the word need on the right. It says the word want

So that's kind of the spectrum of what we have on one side. We have it things that are needs other side just once Here I'm gonna spin this wheel. What it's gonna do is it's gonna reveal a spot that only I can see, and it gives me a spot on the spectrum. You see that? No, I don't understand. Is that on camera, Tyman? Yeah.

Okay, so you can see it's a little on the want side. It's not, so if you look at need and want. I see, I see, I see, I see. It's not totally a want. Okay at need and want. I see, I see, I see, I see. It's not totally a want. Okay, so yeah, turn the wheel to show like that it would change. Okay, okay, cool, okay. So, you know, you've got your spot here. And so then I would be looking at all this information.

I mean, you guys know the category, you know there's need and want on each side, but only I know where on the spectrum is that at. And then I'm trying to find a word that describes its spot. I like need one. Can we do that as an example? Yes.

Let's do an example for this one. And then I would try to put the, oh, I would try to put that red thing somewhere. Yes. Oh, so you reveal it and then you close it up again. Is that right? So then I would close it up and then I would give you a word. And then I would take the red thing and try to put it where I think it is.

And so the closer you get to exactly the four, that's like the bull's eyes. How many points you get? Gotcha. So that's easy enough. Do you get it, Tyman? I think so. OK. So if you were to say like water, water would be an absolute need. Yeah. So I would think, oh, that's got to be way over on the need side. So if you were to say like water water would be an absolute need yeah So I would think oh that's got to be way over on the need side or if you say You know Gucci handbag that seems like I want that's not but then I'd be like well

I don't think you need a handbag sees where it is first. Yeah. Yeah, okay cool. So for this What are some examples? What would you guys say for like almost a total want but not totally? I would say. Oh, I don't know if it's this that first thing that came to mind was iPhone. I was a car wash membership. OK, yeah, that's not bad. Yeah.

Because it's like, OK, you sometimes you do need to get your car washed. And so it's not like a complete want. I was going to say iPhone because like you need you probably need a phone these days We don't need an iPhone. Yeah, that's probably 250 50. I thought of air pods, but that's all maybe just like Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I could be a technology. It's like it could be yeah. I don't know remote start No, that's just a what right? Like is there any need? Yeah, that's mainly it. But it's pretty far over there. I mean, if you can't, if you're listening,

it's probably 75%. Yeah. All right, so that's how it's played. You ready to do it? Well, I'll just take turns? Yeah, let's do it. All right, so I'll go first. As the knower.

Yeah, I guess we'll just do it one person at a time. So it's like, I'm the one leading it, Brad, you get to guess, you get points, then Timon gets to guess. TJ's calling me. Well, that's nice, does he wanna play? Nah. All right.

Sorry, TJ. I'm gonna, so our categories, Brad, so you can see it, historically important, historically unimportant. Ooh, okay. That's the spectrum. I have revealed it to myself. I know we're out on the spectrum. Historically important, historically unimportant. Now let me think of something really quick on the fly.

Wait, yeah, I give you the word and then you guess where it's at. Is that what I just said? Yeah, okay, I give you the word and then you guess where it's at. Right. Is that what I just said? Yeah. Okay. Great. This does take some, yeah, like creative thinking.

I'm trying to like, yeah, it's kind of fun. I mean, normally you do it in teams. And so it's not just like one person have to come up with it. But you know, you kind of get to talk about people. What if the two of you did something like it was two people given some whatever, if you want to collaborate two people doing something Let me think I'll think about all the historical events I'm gonna go Moon landing okay

Right you could think about that. Okay, so and maybe you had time it could just be a team together We can just collaborate. Yeah, so time in the most So this is the most important thing. This is the least important. I think the moon landing was very significant. Yeah. I don't think it's like the most important by any means, but I think it was like very significant in American history. Yeah.

I want to go personally. Let's let's say a number. Let's call this. Zero percent. That's a hundred percent. Let's say a number. OK, ready? One, two, three, thirty one. Let's call this zero percent. That's a hundred percent. Let's say a number on three. Ready?

One, two, three, 31. Okay. 20 plus 31 divided by two. 26 and a half. So we're going to do 26 and a half percent. Right about there. Okay. All right.

Let's reveal the grand reveal. Oh, straight up in the middle. I think that was on me a little bit a little bit of having to come up with this on the fly and not through it because yeah it was you guys did good I did bad I hang on my face no yeah hey so it wasn't like the cure for anything crazy yeah and I will say I like rethinking it it's like well nothing really ever, they've never gone back. Like, it's interesting. It's like, it hasn't really, like, it was huge, but it doesn't affect me much at all. Yeah, it's not 9-11 or anything.

I could see, like, choosing 40% now. Now that I rethink. After a rethink. I still wouldn't have been on it on the dot, but a 50% like you had it straight up in the middle for historically important and unimportant is almost impossible. That was pretty tough to think of on the fly. I don't know what my answer would also maybe we just need to be more critical in general. Like once again, like is the moon landing in the, like there's so many crazy things have happened in history. Is the moon landing really that important? But then it's like, if I think of all the famous historical things, typically why

they're famous is because they were significant. Had importance. Yeah. It's like, I got to think of. If during a history book, you have some importance. That's a tough topic. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't, I don't understand the context of the moon landing well enough, but I know it was a big deal to get there before. Right. U.S.S.R. So, okay. So my turn. Ooh. Okay.

So my category is traditionally masculine versus traditionally feminine. Fun. Oh, let's get, let's get controversial here. All right. So do I show the audience real quick? Yeah. You want to put the camera on Brad and we will look away time in. See where we are here. Oh, wow. It's right there

Can't believe good luck. All right. We are closed off again Traditionally masculine traditionally feminine. So masculine over here feminine over there. I will go I Feel so good about this guys. I think you guys are I think we're gonna get four points. Okay. All right lifting weights Lifting weights. Lifting weights. All right. Okay. I mean that's got to be like 95% male probably. I was gonna say like 20 to like 20 to 30 on like the masculine like very close to masculine but not quite as close as you said. Okay. Yeah like if I was thinking like based on the scale, me and Brad figured out. Yes. OK. Zero is on the left. OK. You're saying 20, 25. I was saying like five. Yeah.

Because lifting weights. Yeah. I mean, like if you wanted to go crazy masculine, you would say like fatherhood. I think there's like things that are like gender specific that you would there would be. That would be 100 percent. You think,'s like things that are like gender specific that you would there would be that would be a hundred percent. You would think Jake. This day. I don't know then again it's like traditionally even like in in the gym I feel like you typically see like a man is lifting weights maybe a woman is like doing something more like cardio. Aerobics. Yeah. Stair climber. Is that what it's called? I could. Elliptical. Yeah, yeah. I would be happy doing like 10, 10, 15 somewhere in there. Yeah. All right. Let me work this out. All right. Let's reveal. Oh, time and had it. Time and had it.

I talked time and out of it. That was so hard not to like react like, no, no, no, you're on the right track. Oh my gosh. That was so hard. Not to be like, yeah, dude, I get talked out of stuff too easily. I know Jake was like 5%. I was like, Oh gosh. Like I need to play the player. Not the, not the, so where, cause I think, I think it is like definitely more on men. Like men like to live with more than women, but I think a lot of women still are like if you're a fitness person my initial thought was 30 to 40 Where would you say four is I think four is? This is 27 and a half percent probably okay. Yeah right there All right, you're on see so twice now time has gotten closer guesses. No my guess was closer

What'd you say? That's him 31% my bed All right time is one for two. All right. Sorry. I don't take this from me. All right time and here's your Yeah Hey, it's on the table. Okay, right caster. It's a fad on one side and classic on the other Okay fad versus classic all right my showing the camera yeah close your eyes Jake oh look this is not all righty so don't look guys don't look don't look This way's bad this way's classic all right here we go, so I'm gonna say Let me close this up so Let me close this up. So say, okay, the term Rizzler.

Oh, gosh. Also, we might need to change out batteries on this camera time. Okay. You're soon. All right. Brad, what are your thoughts? Oh, I think that's that's as fat as can fat as can be. Probably right thing is a fatty

Fatty bombatti. Yeah, right like Rizzler, I can't think of I can't think of an example. It's like the most topical thing There's no way that's going to be a thing in a Day like in a year. I think we got to go I think we're going zero on the scale, 100 percent fat. All right. Yeah, but is that even an option? Oh, yeah. Oh, it is. Oh, yeah. OK, yeah. I think you don't even.

Don't touch that. Don't touch that dial. We ready? Yep. Or wait. Yeah, so this is here. Oh, baby. I. Good job, Jake. Good job, guys. Yeah. Good job, Tymon. Thank you. Good job, guys. Yeah, good job, Timon. Thank you.

I like this game. Fun, huh? Yeah, it's fun. We're gonna do better here, Timon. Wanna swap out batteries real quick? Oh yeah, let's do it. Hear ye, hear ye. Who is it? A local declaration.

Okay, boring and exciting. Let me think of something real quick. I'm gonna say. All right. Your cucumber's sprouted. All right. Okay. So exciting is all the way. 100%.

I would say 96, 97%. Like super exciting. We're talking actual cucumbers. No, I, 18. Lower, brother. Lower, you think? For Jake? Jake?

That's true. And maybe Jake's playing the player, not the game, but like, cucumber sprouted. I don't know if Jake can think of much. I think maybe the most boring thing Jake could think of is like Excel spreadsheets or something like that. No offense to the accounting bros out there. No, I think it's 8%, 9%.

Yeah, I'm good with that. Yeah, I think just tap her up there. That might even be too high. All right. Final answer? Yeah. Oh, oh, Jake. All right, final answer. Yeah. Oh Oh That's a great reaction

It went so much farther than I thought I mean, it's not nothing something happened today. I was listening It's pretty much exactly in the middle That is that is we planted these we watered these could be a boring person. That's still the fifth sixth most boring thing like no Look, we don't have a lot of time to think of this and I've got two that are right in the center It was a little tricky. That's true. Boring or exciting. Boring exciting. Moon landing. I worked today. So boring. Ate lunch today. So boring. No, it's not. Eating lunch is awesome No eating lunch and working is a cucumber spouting is more exciting than that.

But I was not thinking that high. You think? I think like all the way here is like putting on my socks. There is a commercial on TV. Oh, OK. So like, and it's like this is that something new, something you've been waiting on, something you've planted, you've sowed this. Okay, you're right. I guess my standard was like, everything is kind of exciting.

I was kind of thinking- Everything that I'm going to say is kind of exciting, so this is the least exciting thing. I was thinking of it more as like a cucumber sprouted. It's like nobody cares. Right, a patch of cucumber sprouted. From your personal garden. My own cucumbers just started. I just started to see them. I'm starting to get that.

Yeah. It's been, it's been six months of it, you know, being planted and the cucumber just sprouted that would have been right there. But in my head, I was just like, no matter what you say, it's supposed to be a thing. But yeah, if you compare it to, I watched a commercial, you're right. That is much more exciting Man 50 50 is tough. It is a tough game and you've got yeah, you got tough Yeah, normally you have like a team of people and you take like 60 seconds to think of something

Yeah, I think probably but that's probably what I got like just all the way to one side might be some of the easiest I think of yeah. Yeah, cuz you're kind of parameters All right, Show the camera. Tell everyone what we're dealing with. All right. I think I gave Brad role model. So it is. Yes. One side role model, one side bad influence. Oh, man.

So it's okay. It's your favorite teacher. Left is what? Left is good or bad? Left is role model.

Okay, left is role model. Right is bad influence. Wait, I did that reverse. All right, so we gotta do it in reverse. Okay, so left is bad influence. Upside down. Yep. All right, there wasn't enough to think about I was trying to be

original I don't know if it's good all right it's your favorite teacher yeah so they've probably taught you a lot that's pretty role model-y orders there at least like they've made it fun for you, which inspires you to be fun, but they have no self-control. Even at his peak of the math teacher, it's still not your dad. It's not your youth pastor. It's not your coach. I would say it's like a second tier of role models.

Math teacher. So even at his peak, he can only be up so high. And then to learn he has a gambling, what was it, problem? Problem. Addiction? gambling. Was it problem problem addiction problem problem gambling problem He's just not very good at it. It could be worse. Yeah, is this a is this a 40 is my first not like 40 Oh, he is like as in it's more towards bad, but honestly not it could be okay I like I like that okay four out of ten

Ten being a perfect role model yes Okay, so based on what we said where do we need to put this? What did you think it was? Well, you've so did so I think just go 40 up. I think I Don't know so if we know they're calling again You're saying he's a better. he's a better person or worse. He's more of a bad influence. Yeah, yeah, right there. Right here.

Yeah. If Brad flipped it, then this is our guess. Yeah. I'm gonna reveal. Ooh. You were so close the first time. More of a good role model. Yeah, I didn't tell you.

So the gambling problem was not like, like basically he was just gambling on high school sports. So like, whoa, high school sports. So like really just knows this is all made up. Oh, I was like, that's kind of crazy. Yeah. Yeah. He told me later. He's like, hey, you're going to get hurt this game or else. Or else you're really going to get hurt. Yeah. Missed that block. Hey, let him through.

I still let him through. All right. So you think even in high school in this like hypothetical, you're still in high school. You're still in cup tournament. I don't know what I think. And even at that point, he told you, hey, I gamble on high school sports and you would still put him as more of a role model than a bad influence No, this is this is present-day Brad Okay, I don't know. I Don't know. I'm an idiot. I think the gambling tarnishes it a bit more. What if I would have said Justin Bieber would that have been a That was a little tough yeah, I would have put it more on the role model side, but yeah, I've been good

I think so he's been through a lot All right. I got you one last one timing. All right loved versus hated. Oh Okay. Oh, here we go. All right, then have to be a person Could be a thing be an activity be a food All right, so Loved or hated I'm just gonna try to think of For the sake of time, it might not be the best thing I think of. I'm going to go. Oh, ah, okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going to say, um, this is, this is so tough. Yeah, okay

Because you kind of endless options as far as what it can be what's after just your person or something I'm Okay, I'm gonna say Jimmy Fallon. Okay. I Don't know if this is good. I mean that's probably Okay. I don't know if this is good. I mean, that's probably 80 to 90% loved. Personally, that's my thought is like, I'm sure there are people out there that don't love him, but they're not hating him.

If that's on the other scale. I occasionally see some criticism for him, like fake laughing and stuff like that. It feels like it's become a little less universal lately, but like he was loved. He used to be like a hundred percent. He did when he first got on there, when he was on SNL. But I mean, if you saw Jimmy Fallon at long boards today,

you'd be pretty excited to see him. If Jimmy Fallon was sitting next to me right now, I'd be pretty excited. Bill stands for burn ends, Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, I think I like 86% on this one. 86. I'm sorry. That's 87 87 for Travis 14% I suppose Whatever that would be

Inverse what do you think there more up? No, I think a little more down skosh down really down Yeah, right there Jimmy Fallon. Let's reveal Yep. Right there. Jimmy Fallon. Let's reveal. Simon! Dude. Dead center! I was trying to think of someone I'd seen equal love and equal criticism for and maybe I'm on the side of the internet that doesn't like Jimmy Fallon very much? It would be hard to think of a person who's equally loved and equally hated.

I like Jimmy Fallon but I feel like I see a lot of that of like well he fake. I don't what would you do? Yeah, what would you love to hate? I don't think I'd do a person you'd have to do like a first I was trying to do something with like a controversial food running. It's pretty good. It was like more Yeah, like um What are some food like pineapple on pizza? That was what the exact thing I was thinking of it was I was like, well, I feel like that's, I think that's a little more hated. Yeah. And so I couldn't, and it almost wasn't 50 50 enough.

Yeah. So is it like a spectrum of like, is the thing in the middle? Does that mean people are indifferent about it? Or does that mean it's half people love half people hate? You know what I mean? I was picturing half love, half hate. Cause it's like, yeah. Like, could you just say like something very basic? Like, I should have. Sucks. Napkins. Yeah, right in the middle.

That's a good call. And napkins are, no one has like strong opinions on napkins. That's a great way of playing the game too. But yeah, but then you, it's all about how you interpret it. That's what's so fun. Yeah. That's great.

I like this game a lot. Yeah, it's definitely fun in groups cause the conversation that you and I just had, there's more of us trying to have and then you get Seven opinions and everyone's thinking I have more people don't like Jimmy Fallon than you think. Yeah, okay. All right We should have yeah, Gen Z hindsight. It's like Because he didn't experience the early Jimmy Fallon day. This guy hates Jimmy Fallon Yeah, exactly. He's remember like before Jimmy Fallon was like the late-night guy. He had the other show Like like late late late night. Yeah, and I feel like that was like golden age

And then when he was first got on late show everyone was so excited. Yeah, that was really that was good Now it's like you've kind of done it all you're kind of your sticks done Yeah, I really didn't have a lot of that context like I didn't know how loved he was Have you ever seen him on SNL back that day with will ferrell anything? Yeah He was kind of known for always breaking character and laughing. Yeah, but it was great. Thank everyone. It's like keep doing it It's hilarious interest. I've seen I see comments people like he's so annoying. He's always breaking character Yeah, I've seen people are like it's cheap, but I'm like yeah, just you're no fun You're fun at sleepovers like, huh? Come on. Yeah.

So well, thanks for playing wavelength. Take fun game. That's great. I. This will be part of my win of the week as well, I suppose, but I have lots of wins. So I just had a really good week in general lately. But one of the things that's been really fun is getting to, I mentioned, I've been seeing Gabe Oliver Moore and he just messaged me. So he's a travel nurse. So if you guys don't know what

that is, it's basically like somebody who like is on assignment for three to four months in a specific location where they're just like short staffed or whatever. And then he goes to another location. So he was in Hawaii for a while and California. Now he's been in Kansas city. And he just texted me, he's like, hey man, like I'm just trying to get more like involved and like dive dive in as quick as I can here in Kansas city because I don't have that much time here.

So like, if you ever need any help on anything, like whatever it is, I would love to help. He's like lawn work, babysitting, whatever. I just want to be a blessing to you. And so at first I was like, okay, I feel like he's just wanting somebody to like hang out with. And I'm, I always like a friend. I was like company. So I'm like, yeah, yeah, we'll find something to do. And then he came over and once he came over once it was like, there's so much stuff we could do. Like there's so much stuff that you need a second man to help you with.

Like it's so much, or maybe even beyond just a man, like just like not your spouse. Like, like it's like, Catherine and I could have moved that chair down the basement and moved the love seat up and put it in my truck. We could have made that happen, but it would have been stressful.

It would have been hard cause our kids are all over the place. Like, and so yeah, Gabe just came over. And we did lawn work some. We put up Christmas lights. We already had Christmas lights up on our house. I saw that on my run a couple nights ago. I was like, wow, Brad's got it. Oh, and the workshop, too.

Yeah. So then he came back. I was like, let's put him on the shop. Let's do it. And so huge, huge blessing. One of the week is just a friend like Gabe. And it's all because of the podcast. And so we just had good conversation. Mattie came over the second time and just hung out huge blessing. One of the week is just a friend like Gabe, man. It's all because of the podcast.

And so we just had good conversation. Maddie came over the second time and just hung out with our kids and like did homeschool with them and brought her own laptops. So she did some of her own school. And yeah, it was so fun. We just did little things here and there. The highlights. Well, one of the highlights, it was so fun. Like the kids, whatever reason, like sometimes my kids are super shy and other times it's like they just take to people and like, Beau just loves Gabe. Like just thinks Mr. Gabe's the man. And so Beau, Gabe and I went to Home Depot at one point to grab some stuff and we were

getting Christmas lights. We had to get some more for the shop because I'd never put lights in the shop before. And as we're in the Christmas lights section, Bo points to this like Santa doll thing that has a tuba. And it's one of those things I was like, Gabe, like, this is the kind of stuff I was like, as an example, this is the kind of stuff that Catherine's family loves. They love this crap. And then I press play on it and it like does this

like jingle bells song on a tuba. And all of a sudden I just felt a pulse. So I was like, Bo, should we get this? And Bo's like, of course Bo's like, yeah, we should get this. And it has been the biggest hit in our family. No way. All our kids, Henry included, just love this thing.

To the point where now it's like, we got to put limits on this or else they're just going to play it. Right now I put it on top of our fridge. So it's like, I don't know. Okay. It's not huge. Like Rosie can carry it around. Rosie loves it. I mean, it's the first thing Bo asked for this morning when he got up. Can we, can we play the Santa? Like, and it was one of those classic like, you know, that, that quote it was one of those classic, like, you know, that quote I talked about a while back, like, beware the soul sucking force of reasonableness.

Like, it was too expensive for what it is. And I'm like, we don't need this. Of course we don't need this. But it's like, this would be a fun thing to get out every year at Christmas. And I mean, it's just so cute and kitschy and whatever. And it's like, on one level, yeah, Catherine's family loves that stuff. And on one level, it's kind of like you roll your eyes, like, why do you

have this crap? But on the other level, it's like every year it's fun to see it, you know, kind of thing. So anyway, Gabe and the, and the Santa, the two, two of us, Santa just going around. So now every time, like if, if you guys come over to our house, like the new fun thing to do is to put the Santa under a blanket and to like reveal it to people and then to be like, watch this. It plays music. Yeah. So I'm sure just play along if they come, if you come over. That does sound fun. Anyway, yeah. It's a huge fun time with the kids and but yeah, it's just fun to like have a friend where it's just like all those things that you're like, I haven't made you to do that, but you have somebody else that's like there to help you like do stuff. It's like way easier.

Yeah. Rather than just like, I don't know, that thing would only take me 45 minutes, but I'll put it, I'll do it off later or put off later, whatever. And like now it's like, no, we got a lot of stuff done. That's great. So yeah. And just great time with him. He's a good dude, man. So yeah, I'm pumped for Kansas City. I know. I wish they were staying, but maybe maybe they'll come back. Enjoy the time we got. So anyway, that was a huge, huge win. That's a great win. I forgot to mention this on Monday's episode, but just a little thing. When I did go back and see Dr.

On, I walk in there like, you must be Jake for the 230 appointment. I go, yeah, it's me. And she goes, okay, I'll be right back. And while I'm waiting for the receptionist to go somewhere, another Asian woman grabs me and he goes, right this way, sir. So like, oh, okay, we don't go into Dr. On's office. We go to this like dark room. And kid you not, she's like, okay, she closes the door.

Like, what is happening? And she goes, lay down here. And I go, I don't know if I'm. Like what is happening? And she goes, lay down here. I go, I don't know if I'm supposed to lay down. She goes, no, lay down here. And then she like points to my head and then like points to like the pillow. And so I was like, maybe she's like gonna take my ear thing out, like I don't know.

Like that's what I came here to do is get this thing. Maybe she's certified and the ear taken out. Out of my ear. And then I go see Dr. On. And so I lay down on this like bed and she is like about to start what I think is like adjusting me. And then someone walks in going, no, no, wrong person, wrong person. So I mean, how, what kind of system do they have in this place? Like, yeah, just go grab anybody and was there anybody else in the lobby when they know I

was the only one there only car there. I just like when you tried to like kind of push back. It's like no no obviously. It's you you're gonna lay down I'm gonna figure it out. Did she speak English very well. No. Yeah, she's just like put your head goes here Oh, I thought you were gonna say there's these things called traction tables. Have you heard those? Oh, no Basically, it's just like this roller that goes up and down this table like underneath like it's like a motorized thing and it just like it's like a massage kind of and I thought you're gonna do that and it feels nice. I would've been sweet. It just like rolls up through your body and then rolls down. I don't know why they call it traction but. It was a funny start to it though. I was like a cow being herded like where you need me? Okay, lay down. All right, I'll lay down. And yeah, I think she was about to like do some type of chiropractor work on my back. And then luckily the receptionist comes like,

oh my gosh, oh my gosh, wrong guy, wrong guy. I was like, how does this happen? That description, like you, originally when you told me all about this, like you were like, it's in a strip mall. It's in a worse strip mall than I thought. Like the way you described it, I was like, I have something in my head.

And then I saw it like in your stories. And I was like, that's not, that's a rundown strip mall. Yeah, did you like the picture I took of all the services they provide? Acupuncture, chiropractor, car accident. Car accident. Car accident, yeah. You give me?

Yeah, they're not high up on the, like we really need to get this word perfect. But yeah, you give me. Yeah, they're not high up on the like, we really need to get this word perfect. Injuries from car accidents probably, but we can also do car accidents. We use a car accident. We're Asian, what do you want us to say? Yeah, I just couldn't believe that.

I was like, that's such a funny system. Like some woman just like grabs just anyone from the lobby. Like, I'll take you to my room. I will work on you now. So we gotta sort it out. Wrong person, wrong person. Yeah. I guess it was 2.30 and maybe the other person

was also supposed to be there. Maybe they were supposed to show up. Yeah, that's funny. That was fun, yeah, I forgot to mention that last week, but it was a good time. Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee ranchers oh I get it it was a kazoo changing the tire on a NASCAR car and they sponsor a NASCAR driver not NASCAR what is it it's not NASCAR it's another racing not formula one for me then to Indy car is that the same that's different I think it's Indy car Indy car either way what is it in IndyCar?

I was like, I'm not. And he's like, I saw your birthday's coming up, I just wanna wish you a happy birthday. And I don't know why, but that was like, that like really made an impact on me. Like, I was like, not in the point of like, I'm gonna do that for everybody, but it was like, I like that dealership a lot more

than I used to. Yeah, that's a nice touch. And it was like, I know what I really respected about it was like, he called me and I bet the whole conversation was 28 seconds long. That's great. Like he was like, I just wanna let you have a birthday, hope you're doing well, man.

All right, you have a good day. Like it was not like, let's try to make this longer. Way up to how she runnin'. Exactly, Exactly. It was just like straight to the point, but also not, you know, too long. So that's great. Shout them out. What's the name of the dealership? Bob Allen Ford. Yeah. So honestly, I had like a fine experience there when I bought the truck, but now I'm like, I don't know. So anyway, yeah, I don't know. It's funny, like I really appreciate when people contact me, like say happy birthday to me, but also like I'm so bad at doing it myself.

It's like, why? Maybe I need to remember this more often of like, it feels good. It feels like to be on the other end. Yeah. I'm not very good at it either. No. And I don't like. Yeah, I'd rather just like text somebody randomly and be like, Hey, you're awesome. Like, yeah. But, uh, I don't know. It's just, it's just sweet to get, I don't know, intentionality, I suppose. Um, but yeah,

Celia came over for our birthday. Uh, she was interviewing Catherine for, uh Catherine for a, she's in a, she's going to this Bible college Spurgeon University, Spurgeon college. And had to interview Catherine. She felt so bad. She's like, I'm sorry. I'm here on your birthday. I'm like, that's okay. I think this was the first year though, like that I really truly felt like no expectations on my birthday. We're just gonna hang out home. Yeah. Like I was like, I don't, I don't need anything. I mean, Catherine did ask like, is there anything home. Yeah, like I was like, I don't need anything. I mean, Catherine did ask, like, is there anything special you want? And I was like, I would love a Pepper Jack burrito

from McClain's and like maybe a coffee. And then she asked like, so she made like a special dinner. Like it was like, we still did stuff for my birthday, but it wasn't like, like you're asking me to change Henry's poopy diaper on my birthday. Like, and not that I wouldn't have done that before, but like in my head, I think I would have been like, well, this is kind of a crappy way to spend your birthday.

Great. Yeah, literally. And it's like, now it's like, no, I don't know. I just, 34 is the year of maturity, I think for me. So. Congrats, you made it. I finally made it, dude. Anyway, but yeah, it was a good birthday. That yeah, the kids, the older kids in Catherine had a Wana that they had to go to. So I like, yeah, I dealt with Rosie, you know, taking out raisins and trying to feed Henry

on my birthday. You know, it's like kind of fun. Yeah. Like, I don't care. This is great. Also learned that Rosie is a little bit, uh, I think, I think I need to, I need to be, keep a closer eye on her. I think, uh, yeah, I was doing dishes last night thinking she was just playing in the playroom.

I go in the playroom markers all over the floor could be worse. Luckily it was not anything but her hands were just like absolutely dominated with Mark. Like she just drew on her hands a bunch. I was like Rosie, what are you doing? Play better. And these days like her new thing is like, she'll just go, she'll go, I don't know. And she'll just like shrug her shoulders. I don't know.

Like what? So. Growing up to be Bo. But she's unofficially potty trained now. Whoa, look out. We're getting there. She gets a marshmallow every time she plops one in. Yeah.

So she's really pumped about it. She just screams about, like she'll, you in yeah, so she's really pumped about she just Screams about like she'll so you know get finished everything and run around the house tell Bo Hattie marshmallow marshmallows a poopy Anyway big times in the family that's great Timon you got anything for us got any updates how you been um I've been good. Yeah, I'm trying to think Got anything for us got any updates? How you been? Um I've been good. Yeah, I'm trying to think Random updates this past Saturday. I went to my cousin's wedding. Oh, yeah, I can't city. That was fun

How many weddings you've been to? Not many I was gonna say I feel like I didn't go to very many. Yeah, I mean I want to say In my life that I could think it probably under 15. Oh, okay So you've I would say. OK, so you've been to some. Yeah. Ten to twelve maybe. Yeah. I don't know if that's accurate. Yeah. Definitely more so in the past year or two

with like filming some and just like having Oh, that's true. Being closer to people who are like that age, like. Graydon's set a date yet? I think so. Fun. September maybe? I don't know.

Yeah. You grooving? I think so. I think I'll be involved. Yeah. In some way. I don't. Fun. September maybe? I don't know. Yeah. You Grooseman? I think so. I think I'll be involved in some way. I didn't know if he's asked yet. I know he's getting it.

Videographer. Yeah. So the care package. Will you be my Grooseman? Yeah. Probably Graydon. Probably got him custom football helmets. Yeah.

Yeah. Each one of them like a parodied like logo of their favorite football team time would be the Titans Yeah, Timon's. Yeah, Tennessee tight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's a cool gift. Great. Awesome, man. Thank you And you go to San Diego? Yeah next week like charters Tuesday Wednesday of next week, I think so that's for like a I did the same thing last year in San Antonio, But just like this theologian guy who does like oh some big like Christian conference I don't know what it is, but I'm filming stuff there. So okay cool. Yeah, and then when is the Fort Scott trip? Undecided oh, what are you gonna do?

He's undecided so I guess just let us know well just the dates on this oh So the date is undecided Is that it like you're saying the date is not confirmed yet. Yeah, gotcha. I see Okay, cool. Love that town. Oh beautiful town The video has already come out by the time you're listening to this, but Tymon and I once again collabed on a big Friday pickleball video and I'm going to be posting it tomorrow.

What do we got? Recording this. It's when you remember back in like August, I did this whole like daily vlog or a day long vlog, like giving away a hundred pickleball panels in a day. I never watched that one. No, sorry. I haven't come out with it yet.

Maybe you just heard me. Yeah. Sorry, dude. I missed that one. No, maybe I tried to be like very supportive of you. I know. I appreciate it. and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching

a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching a lot of different video games and I've been watching and we talk about it. Yes, it was like, we were going to LA anyway for the tour. And so I was like, let's, I want to try a new style of video. And so you and Isaac. Yeah, me and Isaac. So it's been a ton of work editing it.

And then I kind of asked quite a bit of time. And I was like, in the next 48 hours, can you like really do a bunch of graphics and subtitles and just enhance, elevate the video, however you see fit and time and like spent all day yesterday working on it. So excited. How funny. Coming out tomorrow. Would you rather it be open ended like that? Or would you rather have like specific time and like, I want this kind of style for this scene.

There were definitely some, I did a little both. There's a lot of like timestamps. Like I want this year. I mean, it's like the designing a graphic is like, I'll just do it. How I hope it looks good. Yeah. I don't know. know I like I do like specifics, but also some freedom if I think of something Yeah, I was like medium which I think is what it was. Yeah There's some things I for sure wanted like I'm paying you to do this this and this for sure Yeah, but also if as you're seeing it cuz any video editor you could probably take a video You're giving like this is what I would do to it. This is how I would make it better Yeah, so I was like feel free to do. This is how I would make it better.

So I was like, feel free to do that. That's what I think would be so fun, is if someone was just like, hey, this is the main part of the video, but just make it more fun. And I'll be like, cool, I can do that. And you did, you added a few touches of things they didn't tell you to do.

When I say that I was staying with you, you added laughter in the background. Oh yeah, nice. You had subtitles in a lot of places that I probably would have been too lazy to add them to. So I appreciate you doing that. The to do list. Wait till you see that to do list. This kid came up with Bella the ball.

Oh, fun. OK, that's great. Oh, and the DMS, the screen recording of the DMS and the text, all that. It was nice. He did a nice touch. Yeah. So anyway, hopefully people like that. I spent so much time on it. It's one of those. It was like the PPA video. It's like, man, people better watch this. I spent an hour alone yesterday working on the thumbnail and it's not even, the thumbnail is a screenshot

of the video. There's almost nothing. What made you, what took so long then? Just like, good question. Really, cause I talked about this, I think when I was recording it, I wanted this thumbnail of when we got the shot by like Isaac fanning out paddles

and handing them to a pilot in the cockpit. Like we basically got that shot, so it's so cool. Well, there's a few other shots of like him handing it to the flight attendant, him handing it to a pilot outside of the plane where you could see the plane a little better. So we had a few options. So I was trying to like brighten those up

and darken the background and make things pop and like cut him out and then make him bigger. So he's more of the screen, stuff like that. What I did in hindsight, I should have had like Jake Allen or someone do this. This is what he does in his sleep. But the actual screenshot that I love the most, it's got the pilot and then the flight attendant.

And the pilot is like holding the paddle, looking at it. The flight attendant is looking down at her paddle, but ideally, so I found other, there's footage that exists of her looking up at smiling. So what I did is I cut her face out of when she is smiling and then try to put it on her old face to make it look like she's,

because I think just like a smiling woman is better than not. And that took me forever too. And I would never do that. A graphic designer could have too. And it's probably something that like a graphic designer could have done in five minutes. Sure, like, oh yeah, you just do this. I was doing it on Canva Pro. Yeah. And just, which Canva Pro is great,

but it's still, it's not Photoshop. Oh yeah. And you're just having to experiment. So that's why it took me some time. Yeah. But really excited. What were you gonna say? I was gonna say, can you think of a video

that like you were really like, either worked really hard on or and or We're expecting to go really well. That's just like oh that one didn't hit You know the first thing comes to mind is like our first December with jean shorts. Well just the whole month. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah Yeah, that's fair. That was the worst that I've experienced personally being like the creator, because there's been a handful with Trey where we put a lot of work into something. Like not many people saw that. And that's when we kind of learned like, all right,

higher production doesn't mean higher views. But yeah, December, what was that? December 21, December 22, probably December 22. So we took it over and yeah, we were so gung ho. We hired five different ghosties, but so much time giving notes, managing them, all the stuff and views were just in the toilet. The toilet, dude. It was wild. Yeah. Like, are we just not funny? What's happening? Yeah.

Brad's not a good videographer, apparently. Yeah. We went so hard. My zoom ins weren't very good. Some of the zooms, probably. Yeah. Yeah, we did go so hard. A recent one we did for Friday Pickleball where I shot it, or no, we had some people shoot it in Phoenix and had time and edit it. It was the horror movie kind of thing where Isaac and Scott are really creepy.

Oh yeah. That was a really well done video. And I don't think it's cracked like a hundred thousand views yet. Oh really? Not terrible. Yeah. But it's like, you were expecting it to be.

I think it's pretty good. So this one's going to pop. We'll see. It's a weird video. I don't know if this will resonate with people or not, but you know, just like vlogging the whole day. I mean, at one point I'm doing standup comedy in this pickleball channel YouTube video. So I don't know.

I don't know. It'll add more personality to the whole channel though. You've done the. I'll see you next. Another layer provide depth. I listened to I think about 30 minutes so far of the pickleball episode. Yeah, man. Yeah. Next another layer. Provide depth. I listened to, I think about 30 minutes so far of the pickleball episode. Yeah, man.

Yeah, bro. I listened to a lot of it too. Yeah. No way. Oh yeah. I don't know. Yeah. At least that much. How'd we do? Great. I thought Scott and Isaac did a really good job.

I really enjoyed it. Oh yeah. I wasn't surprised by them. They're pretty calm and cool under pressure like that. No, yeah. The whole thing. There's a reason they got the initial invite. Yeah. Right. No, I think, uh, yeah, it was, it was fun. I don't know. Maybe I've listened to more of it, but it was long. It was like, yeah. So how are people expecting to listen to Jake for that long every week? Twice a week. It was long. And that was our first day. I mean, that had been a long day waking up at five something, you know, flying all the way there.

Yeah. It's probably an hour 45 minute interview yeah it's like man they gotta be I'm exhausted and I do this all the time what was it called again? Pickleball studio yeah check it out guys Pickleball studio. Pickleball studio. That's one you guys have both watched it. You guys ever joined people's jams on Spotify? When did this come up?? Yeah, in Vegas I joined Scott's. Vegas, that's when it came up. Yeah. Oh, Vegas stories, here we go again.

Ah, getting crazy. I was like, that happened recently. Yeah, it's because we were desperately trying to get Scott off the aux cord. It was like somebody joined his jam and change it. Oh, okay, because I just got an option to join Jake Triplett's jam. I'm not jamming.

Hey, it says I'm jamming. I opened Spotify earlier, sitting here for some reason, and we got the same thing I don't know why your car is wanting me to jam. Guys. I'm not jamming guys. I swear. I'm not jamming I don't care who says it look at me. I'm not jamming. I'm not a jammer. I wouldn't jam while we pod We I've never jammed. I've never jammed. I'm not jammed even one time Joyjay Trump is jammed. I jammed last night, but I'm not jamming right now. I just joined your jam. I don't care what you say, I'm joining it.

It's impossible because there's nothing to join. Oh yeah? I'm going to add some songs to this jam. Stop jamming! Please don't jam on my jam. But I remember Scott was playing some songs, it was like, I don't know, it was Scott songs. You don't know Martin Garrix?

That was a sentence he said at one point No, you don't know Hans Zimmer. It's like Go both ways Scott. Yeah But I think it was just like I joined the jam He didn't like realize what I liked that it was I added a couple songs to the queue and like I was just kind of Like looking at him to like see I could tell he was like in the queue. He's just kind of like I Think this is true Scott. I don't know. This is maybe just behind site, like me adding things, but I think he was just kind of looking at like, you kind of squint his eyes, just kind of shrug or whatever. And then like a moment he's like, wait, what is, and I was like, I, I joined the jam. He's

like, I don't know what that even means. I mean, you're jam bro. I don't care what you say, man. Jam with you. That was fun though. Shout out your, uh, you went to a concert recently. Oh yeah. How was that? Yeah, that was that's that's probably my win of the week Like okay, no offense my cousin. Hey, let's do some wins of the week. Hey, I already did mine Started with it.

I just I haven't seen many, many concerts just in general. And it's like, this is just good. I love live music. That's really good.

Does it make you want to perform for sure? Yeah, I can't even sing in concerts make me want to perform. So I can imagine it's you buzzing. It's like, what would I do? How would I design my set? What kind of visuals would I have? I can't stop thinking about the showmanship aspect. And just like, how am I going to change this from my released song like they yeah

Do you have any other wins of the week? I have lots. Yeah, not being burgerized was the main win. No, you can go ahead. Okay, well, it was awesome. Yeah. My birthday was great. Felt really loved and blessed.

Uh, last week, when in the week is just that my dad's healthy. Cause he had a little bit of a scare. Uh, he had to go to the emergency room and then he had to have a emergency surgery on his gallbladder. Okay. Gallbladder and appendix. I think he had the appendectomy too. So like, anyway, um,

it's just scary whenever you get a text like, dad's in the emergency room. It's like, what? Like, so luckily, and he's supposed to go on a mission trip out of the country to Egypt and Saudi Arabia 10 or 12 days the next day. So it was like, what an amazing, I mean, just, I don't know, providential timing of all of it. So that's a big win, obviously. Yeah, you don't want a Middle Eastern appendectomy. I would guess. No, you go there for hair transplants, I think. And pyramids. And pyramids.

And gas. So a lot of natural, like, fossil fuels. Bugattis. So camel rides. Camel rides. Sand collection. Yeah. You know what's not on the list?

Appendectomies. Appendectomies. Yeah. Gallbladder, appendectomies. Yeah, gallbladder appendectomies. Dang, but it all went well. Yeah, and my dad is so easygoing and like not a complainer. So maybe he's struggling more than he seems, but no, he seems great.

Like he came over the other night, like my mom and my dad babysat while we went to Joe's and he was, you would never know. And he'd still go to the Middle East? No, he didn't. Okay, I was gonna say they probably don't want him doing that. Right. We went to Joe's and he was you would never know and he still go to Middle East. No, he didn't. Okay No, I say they probably don't want him doing that right like he for a while He's like, I don't know. I'm still thinking about like that night. He's in the emergency room It's supposed to go like no, you're not going so anyway, that's a win Gabe Oliver huge win

Rosie potty trained win Bo got a a new bed. Look out. Win. I saw the lamp. He's so, oh, he's so hot. Got a reading light. He would love to tell you all about his new bed. He would love to show it to you, Jake, come on over. But we just, I mean, new bed to him. Classic Catherine like found this sweet,

antiquey looking bed on Marketplace. I went and bought it. It didn't have the slats. It just had like the frame. Oh, okay. And the headboard and footboard thing. It's really cool though. It's like a cool old wood thing. So I went with Bo. We bought some slats and cut them all up and he helped me like measure them out and everything. It was fun father son. But like as I was buying the slats as

a wood guy, I was like, these feel like pretty light pieces of wood. Okay. Whatever. Not a big deal. He's a kid. So we put the slats down. We put the mattress on top. I go to sit on the bed. And Catherine's like, you better be careful. And all of a sudden, it just boom. Like the bottom of the, like a couple of slats, they broke.

And so now Beau's like, dad, you can't sit on the bed. You're too heavy. And so I need to figure out a way to reinforce that a little bit. Is it working for him, though? He's great. He loves it. And then my biggest, I don't know, my biggest win,

my favorite win of the week was Saturday night, kind of impromptu. It wasn't like some intentional thing, but we had just like this really wonderful family moment. We did like a fire pit Saturday night. So like Saturday at dinner time, I kind of all of a sudden became in charge of dinner

kind of randomly, which I like doing. And so I just made good ranchers chicken with a bunch of seasonings and stuff on it. But like, I'm a big fan of like asking for the kids help in order to like occupy their time. Like I'm a big fan of like asking for the kids help in order to like occupy their time. Like I'm a big fan of like, Rosie, can you help me? Okay. Can you take this cup to the recycling bin? It takes her 30 seconds. She comes back. I was like, thank you so much. Can you take this one now? You know, whatever. And so my thing

that occupied Bo was like, Bo, you are the fireman. You are in charge of the fire pit. Like, and so had him put wood in there, had him like arrange the chairs and everything. And so then after dinner got over, um, we just went out there and like sat around the fire pit and we all got our own chair and I had like dessert, like unreal bars. They're like just candy bar looking things like chocolate and coconut, whatever. Um, and we did like, I forget what I called it. I think I called it weekly blessings. That's what I called it. But I was like, you go around and you say, uh, your favorite thing you did this week and what you're thankful for this week. And then

after you say that you get your candy bar, you know? And so it was just like this sweet moment of like, it was like one of those times where it was like, this is, this is what it's supposed to feel like. Like, I don't know. It was like this, like it's all happy. Like, like there were a few times where we like clapped for like, yeah, give it up for Rosie for being potty trained and everyone clapped. I don't know. It's like the sweet moment. And I always just try to preach like the idea of like, family should be a team. And it was like one of those moments where I was like, I think, I think this is coming to fruition a little bit. And when it's fighting, everyone's chill. Everyone's happy. Everyone's sweet.

Rosie was curled up with Catherine in her blanket. Beau was curled up next to me. It was just a sweet time. That's great. Henry was with Catherine. Maybe Rosie wasn't with me. Everyone did a good job. Everyone wanted their candy.

Everyone was having a good time. I think the fire helped calm them down some. Beau got pretty close to putting his feet, uh, too close to the fire at one point. And so we've got to work on that a little bit. I just don't think he understands how hot it will be. He needs to get burned one time. Obviously not really, but like, I was like, I guarantee you he would never do it again. But I told him, I was like, if that would have, if you would have put your foot on that, your feet would have hurt for a long time. Like it's like, Oh, that kind of hurts.

So anyway, just a really good week altogether with family and, uh, yeah, feeling thankful for a lot of things. So really excited for this Fez nut too. Fez. Yeah. You're about to have a good week. Yeah, dude. It's been awesome.

Uh, birthday eating awesome food. Yeah. Just all together. Awesome. So, uh, that's, that is great. That sounds like a wonderful fire. Yeah, it awesome food. Yeah, just all together awesome. So. That is great. That sounds like a wonderful fire. Yeah, it really was.

And it was like, it was one of those things that was so simple. Like, it's like, okay, we should do that every week or something like, maybe not legalistically, like we have to do this every Saturday night, but it's like, why not? Like do it if we can. It was so fun to watch Bo own the fire.

Catherine and I have talked about before, boys need missions, boys need a purpose. And so I told him, and so all of a sudden he's like, you know, he's thinking like, dad, maybe we should plug in the lights so it'd be a little bit brighter. You'd see the fire a little better. I cleaned up that so that it's cleaner for, you know,

whatever, and it's just like, he's like into it. He needs ownership. So love to do it more. Maybe he can come over for the next one. Bo, you're the leaf man. You have to get rid of all these leaves. Every single leaf, yeah. Get them off the trees too.

Someday, yeah, exactly. That's fine. I thought of my, when I remembered something else, I got a FaceTime call from Ward Reby when I was back in Iowa, my old Cantercock director. And he answers his phone, he goes, "'Jake, I don't even know where I am right now. "'I'm on some college campus and this girl here says

"'you changed her life with your podcast.'" No way. I was like, oh, that's awesome, Ward. It was Alexis Jordan West. Oh yeah. I was like, oh yeah. Oh, that's right. I saw she posted on Facebook.

Yeah, she said, "'Cantercock Table's here.'" I hadn't even seen that yet. I had no idea. And anyway, yeah, just answer for more. And he's like, look at this. Right. What do you think? Cedarville University, I think. Oh, yeah. Good for you. Mitchell Bowser. Oh, that's why I've heard of that. Yeah. Well, that's fun. That's crazy, man. That's so fun. Yeah. They got connected somehow. It's like, I got to call them. Yeah. So yeah, I got to FaceTime Alexis for a little bit.

And she was said some really nice things And have you ever met her before I thought I had but she's been she's been playing fantasy football for like four years with us So maybe that's why I think we've met like it feels like I know her but I have never met her in person Yeah, I don't think I have but I don't know Yeah, she's been a feels like a long time. Consistent fan. Shout out to Alexis. Yeah. AJ, AJ West. Shut up. Oh man. All right. Let's do some comments of the week. Yeah. Comment of the week. My comment of the week is coming from Jake Triplett. Really? Yes. So there's this Facebook, if you're on the Facebook group, we'll say it every week, get on the Facebook group. It's so funny.

Michaela Carpenter posted this picture of everyone at the chief's game. And they, she said, found them, found, found Jake, you know, they had this massive thing, screenshot of Jake. And then Buffy says, okay, this is hilarious. To this girl in front of Jake, that's like leaning her head back. She could have stayed home and slept in a much more comfortable position. Like this girl was looking like tired or whatever. And Jake just responds, I know she's a little girl, but she sucked.

She kept throwing popcorn into her mouth and pretending it was shooting her head back and probably smacked her head against my knee nine times. Had to hurt. Didn't stop her. I just love the first sentence. I know she's a little girl, but she sucked. That's funny. Yeah. I didn't choose to talk about the other podcast, but yeah, this little girl, she would throw popcorn in her mouth and she would act like her, Oh, my head shooting back. The puffer is so good or it's so fast. It just kept hitting her head

against my knee. I was like, this has to hurt you. It's kind of hurting me. So funny. Oh my gosh. I know she's a little girl. I read that out loud. No, she's a little girl, but she's sucked. Sometimes it's like, Hey, you can't say certain things about certain types of people. It's like, well, but what if they suck? I know they're all precious in their sight, but like, come on. Yeah. It was funny that someone pointed her out because she looks asleep in that picture. Yeah, she does. She was interesting. My column of the week is from Brad. Oh, really? So Sarah Sassen, long time ghosty, put up a Facebook post in her page. They're just like, Hey, first question. You're like, how'd you meet your significant other,

your spouse? Like, you know, just being really vulnerable and just like, I'm open to people setting me up, I go to church, I'm doing this. I'm just curious how you guys met each other. And this was a really cool thread. There's like 80 comments and of course, a lot of plugs for the ghosty island.

It's like a love island, ghost hunters knockoff Facebook group for the single people out there. And then I didn't even see your comments. So I commented in there, this is an old, just a classic joke of mine that I love doing to people back in the day. But so on this post, it's all about dating. I just tagged Zach, do you see this?

And I said, is this the girl you were talking about? I used to love doing that on Instagram. I just tagged my buddies from PanaCuck just in a random girl's post. I used to do that too. And like, I would always go like a year down the road. Oh yeah, we would do it to wear a hand. Yeah. Yeah.

And sometimes it'd be like, I don't think it's as bad as you're acting like it is. Yeah. You know, something like that. I used to love doing that. Yeah. You go like, I see what you mean. Yes, I see what you mean. Yeah. Oh, I get, something like that. Like, what do you, we start doing timing. Yes, I see what you mean. Yeah, oh, I get, is this the one you were talking about?

Like, is that the one you said? Yeah, like. Yeah, oh, it's the best. Yeah, you go find like an old like vacation photo of him and like, you weren't kidding. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can tag him in it. Anyway, commonly goes to Brad.

It sounds crazy, but I've seen incredible marriages stem from podcasts. I once had a friend who I co-hosted a podcast with meet his wife by habit stance while out playing pickleball because she listened to our podcast. And they're in one of the top 46 healthiest marriages I've ever seen. That comment got 71 likes.

Did it really? Not bad. I don't think I knew that. That's 71 likes on a comment. It's fun. Yep. Okay. Jesse Platner, newly engaged man, ha ha'd it. Bagged my dough. He posted that in the ghostie group, the group me from Gulf Shores. And I just saw it like notification. He said, I bagged my dough. And I thought I didn't open it for the longest time because I thought he literally meant shot a deer for the season or something. I was like, cool man. Great. That's great. There's equal chance

of him. That's so funny. That's there's actually a greater chance that it was a deer. Cause he's only been dating her like two or three months. Really? That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. I love that. That's another one of my favorite jokes is like dude You're like one of the top like I don't know 17 people I know where it's like, okay, if you're using a specific number like that, I'm clearly number 17 Yeah, I mean you hear it like rankings a lot all the time like before he got injured. Rishi Rice was probably like a top 22 receiver. Okay, so he was 22nd. Yeah. You think he's in the top 22 in these categories? OK, clear. I did that for the pheasant hunt.

Like I was like easily one of the nice, like 11 nicest guys in this group or something like that. Aaron Rodgers, he's in the top 17 of quarterbacks. Right. I would say. Mm hmm. Cool. Yeah, he's in the top like five eights probably of all the league. Anyway. Yeah. It's a good time. And you have a comment of the week. I don't. Sorry. All right. Next week. Next week. I will. That's fun. Next week. I will. I just saw you. Go ahead. I was going to end the episode. What were you going to say?
