All right, just okay. I was having a hard time there. Hold on. I got a bird. All right, dude It's there's two zippers on this thing. I've got a couple items like that. What are they doing with that second zip? I don't know why you need the second one. What brand is that? Robeck? Yeah, maybe it's my Robeck vest that has two zippers. This is my Robeck vest that has two zippers, dude I see it now. That's nice, dude Dude, uh win of the week is have had this for a while. Never fit. It's starting to fit. You know, I noticed.

Are we recording? Unless you say something in a, dude, I noticed your wife was starting to fit in something. She wasn't. No, I was going to say I noticed you, which we'll get to this later, but in a suit this past week and that suit looked way too big for you. Dude, it was too big for me. It's like time. Yes. Thank you. I texted Catherine that morning I said bittersweet moment this thing is way too big like like I use the law like the the farthest Hole for the belt and it was still like these are not tight. That's not tight enough. I'm worried Thanks, that's a great sign. Anyway, Roback makes great stuff. Great stuff, GIKC20.

Yeah. I'll tell you something else I got. Wait, are they a sponsor this episode? Have you used that blanket, dude? I don't know if they're a sponsor, but it's also my win of the week. Dude, it's insane. It's insane.

Cozy Earth. Yeah, who cares? They're genuine, we love them. Dude. It's insane. It's like, I told, go ahead. Well, what did you tell Catherine? I told Rachel, it's like we got a dog.

Okay. What'd you tell Catherine? So Catherine picked it up? We have this oversized throw blanket from cozy earth and I told her I was like I've never seen this movie But you looked like Leonardo DiCaprio in the Revenant Like she looked like she had a bear on her back as she was pulling this in inside of the car. Yes Yeah, so Catherine dropped this off, which it's funny to think now that she crossed the street with this. I tried to look up how much it cost. Or sorry, how much it weighs. Yeah.

15 pounds maybe? I'm so bad at that. I would have, I was about to say 35 pounds. I don't know. There's no way it's that heavy. It's just like, it's a weighted blanket and it's a really heavy blanket and it's oversized. Right. So it's like the size of a queen size bed, queen size comforter, but it's just heavy, heavy material.

And it's hilarious. It's insane. I mean, like you don't have to have a therapist. You can just touch that blanket over and over again and you will be calm. The way we're treating this blanket, Rachel and I, it's the size in the, I don't know, the companionship you get

from like a large dog. It's like we just got like a wolf as a- And the warmth of a dog. Yeah, it's awesome. Here's another thing, I was gonna bring this off the podcast, but this whole intro has been things we would normally say off the podcast, whatever. The color that Rachel asked for is not the color we got.

What kind did she ask for? Do we think we could finagle this into a second dog? Wait, but what, she asked for a walnut? I think she asked for the brown one, yeah. We got like the gray one. Oh, we got the gray one too. Huh? Huh?

Huh? Huh? Huh? All right, we'll talk about it. Anyway. You guys go from there? Uh oh, ooh I, ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too.

Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet cause this is a Ghost from the Spark House. I'm a star this podcast. I'm a star this podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Grandma. I'm a star this podcast. I'm a star this podcast. I'm a star this podcast. I'm a star this podcast. Here we are, Jake. It's like old times. Late night. Guys, it's late night.

Squeezing our in. Late night pod. It's about 7.45 PM right now. Time winds at choir. All is calm. All is bright. All is bright. Thanks to Rachel's awesome tree, which has a great top to it. I don't know if you can see the top. Probably not tonight. Oh wait now we just got the two cameras. Oh wait, the tree's not even. Yeah We'll we'll we'll we'll trade. We'll share custody of the tree throughout the episode. Okay. Careful of the base and the snowman. All right, I custody of the tree throughout the episode. Okay. Careful of the base and the snowman. All right, I've got the tree for this episode.

Yeah, it's gonna be a good episode. We're gonna call Scott Peck. Yep. We're gonna call Steve Koop. Yep. We're gonna do Schmores on a Monday. And we got a lot of fun stuff to talk about. And it's late night pod.

Brad's drinking coffee. I'm drinking an energy drink. Yeah. 8 p.m. I still gotta do my run later. Wow, okay. No problem. No problem No problem, dude. I have been I don't know about you post Pheasant hunt I have just been dragging like to the point where it's like do I have kovat or something like that?

Oh, really? It's like an energy level thing. It's like it's like unexplainably tired like oh like just like and kind of like like weak like my hair hurts Like I don't feel like your hair hurts just normally, just cause you're tired. Too much hats? Too many hats. I don't know, man. It's like everything is weird and I'm,

I'm cold sometimes and I'm hot sometimes. That's too bad. Cause I bet every other guy is going, man, I'm so refreshed. I'm so reenergized after this hunting trip. I was so refreshed driving back. And then I think I got back and I That of course I feel bad for Katherine like man. I don't feel good. Just like what do you think? I've been doing. Yeah, you're gone and now you don't feel good. So dang that's too bad. That's all right. It'll be fine, but

Yeah, we're recording this on a Monday night because Tuesday we're going I'm going to Texas for Thanksgiving. It'd be a good time I'm excited like be there though though, rather than at driving. You know what I mean? You never know what's happening with the drive. Sometimes it could be every kid's an A+. Apparently, last time down to Texas, Catherine did it solo, and Henry, I think Henry, Hattie, and Bo all got A's or A pluses.

Really? Rosie C minus. Rosie was the wild child for that one. But I don't know. I don't know if it's going to be the same or if I'm going to have a different presence. I feel like sometimes the kids, Bo and Hattie specifically, clash more when I'm around.

When they know dad can hear us, dad's going to do something if I yell at you, Bo. So yeah, go ahead and go ahead see what happens You know whatever but Know what'd be good. We got Swiss Family Robinson on deck for For movies we got I think maybe I love Lucy Rosie picked out and then Robin Hood. I don't know You're watching up Swiss Family Robinson was a good movie. I hadn't really seen it never seen it Until yeah recently we watched it and I was like this is actually kind of awesome. That's fun

They got some they got some good stuff in there. So Should be good. What are you guys doing? You guys are going to we're gonna go to Stratford for Thanksgiving. Okay, so we'll be down there I will probably go down Wednesday night or so, but okay Yeah squeezing a late night pod. I recorded two correct opinions episodes earlier today and then tomorrow at 8 30 a.m I'm going back to Trace house for another two correct opinions episodes. this is right in between so what are you just full-time talker? I don't know after tonight, and then I got two more. I don't know what did you talk about? I mean like is it harder with correct credit like so so co Ghostrunners is like your life basically Yeah, correct opinions is just more pop culture stuff

So is it easier to just like okay? I'll just have to scroll Instagram a few more times to find clips or is it easier to just like, like, okay, I'll just have to scroll Instagram a few more times to find clips, or is it like, this is way harder to find stuff? I mean, luckily, correct opinions is Trey's one outlet to podcast. So he usually has like, whether it's stuff from his life or at least stuff he wants to talk about.

Yeah, that's nice at least. Like him and Katie love these like cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. And is that real or is that like? I think they generally got kind of like watching them. Maybe it's a two under two thing. It's like, well, we're chilling here anyway. So anyway, so we did a game where they would only tell me the name of the movie and I would get to see the movie poster. And then I would try to figure out like what the whole movie

was about. There was one, I got remarkably close. I was just making up stuff about, he has to dance to save the town hall. And like, dude, you're so close. He was dancing to save the small town bar or something like that. And then I was like, oh, I'm gonna go to the movie. And then I was like, oh stuff about he has to dance to save the town hall.

And like, dude, you're so close. He was dancing to save the small town bar or something like that. It was kind of fun. I feel like it used to be like only hallmark that did those. And now it seems like Netflix, you know, trying to get a corner on it too. I think it's a cash cow. I think it's got a very little budget to make them. Right. Film them in two weeks and then people just eat them up. They want new ones. They're hungry for Christmas stuff. And it feels like most of the streaming services these days are like, you might get Home Alone on one, you might get Christmas Story on another,

but it's not like there's a platform that has them all. And so it's like, okay, I guess I'll watch Klaus then. I don't know, why not? Try it out. And people say it's great. If you're Netflix, you're probably like, man, it cost us, it cost us $ you're Netflix you're probably like man it cost us It cost us 30 million dollars to do the last season of Outer Banks

It's gonna cost us 12 million dollars just for Dave Chappelle special we could do a Christmas movie for five hundred thousand dollars Yeah, let's do five of them dude. I We haven't been in Netflix family for a while, so I don't know what's going on over there But I think the well is a little dry is it well. I don't know what's going on over there. But. I think the well's a little dry. Is it? Well, I don't know. In my specific interest, I've run out. I was just thinking the other day about just how we are getting old

and some of the things that I could say. I remember when Netflix and slash Hulu a little bit was the place if you wanted to watch online. Oh, that was it. Everything was on Netflix. It wasn't like, oh, is that on Netflix or Hulu or Peacock or Max or anything? It was just like, no, Netflix, like Netflix had the office, Parks and Rec, like, you know, it's just unheard of now to have all those things, friends and... We really do live in the greatest era because we see everything be invented and then change.

We saw cell phones be invented, rapidly change. We saw the Internet, internet social media even streaming services Which are gonna be so common in the future already so common now. We saw the initial wave of those it'll be really interesting to see what happens with like like Are they gonna eventually like teeter out and there's only gonna be a few that actually survive because it feels like they're just throwing money I don't know that I think you probably know more the economics of it. Maybe I think Netflix is yet to turn a profit Right that I knew I knew that something like that. I don't know that, I think you probably know more the economics of it, maybe? I think Netflix has yet to turn a profit. Right, I knew that something like that.

They don't run ads, which is great. Man, Peacock is killing me with the ads. Oh really, I have Peacock Plus or whatever. Whatever it is, I'll pay for it. Yeah, I don't know why. I need to look up what it is, I'm so sick of the ads. That's the only one, I pay for that and I just pay for Amazon Prime because I have Prime.

Yeah. But I think Peacock is like $11 and I got it once to try for free and then I never stopped. I need to, getting real, real sick of it. Because these shows, the office at Parks and Rec both, they always have about 60 seconds of the show at the end. Yep. And so, but it cuts to commercial before that.

So you have to watch 75 seconds for the commercials to get 60 seconds of the last bit of the show before you can even get onto the next episode anyway. They know what they're doing. Yeah, 75 seconds for the commercials to get 60 seconds of the last bit of the show before you can even get On to the next episode anyway. They know what they're doing. Yeah, just pay for the ads Which is amazing like if they never introduced it without ads wouldn't care. Mm-hmm. Great. That's fine That's what we lived with was commercials and then all of a sudden it was like nope. We we got used to it I went to my parents house and they are still paying for acTV. And they, I mean, they're starting to get it. They have Netflix.

I think they have Hulu. They have Peacock. Yeah. I was like, you got to stop paying for this. And so I was joking with them. I said, for Christmas, I'm canceling your DirecTV. I'm taking something from you for Christmas. I'm pulling the plug. You don't need this.

YouTube TV, 70 bucks. Yeah, they'll be fine. It's the same thing. Oh, my dad's not going to like it, though. He's not going like it though. He's not gonna know which channel is TBS. I know he can't scroll to it. Here's what we need to do.

A Shark Tank idea is make a remote for that age person that works on YouTube TV or Apple TV or whatever. I know they have some like- Tons of buttons. Like the fancy ones, but yeah, don't, half the buttons on the old remote didn't do anything for you. They had record button on the old remote. Like the fancy ones. But yeah, don't, half the buttons on the old remote didn't do anything for you. They had record button on the old remote.

You never used it. Just throw a bunch of buttons on there, make six of them work. And like, let people, let them have the comfort of that old, that old remote. What my dad really is not gonna like, maybe we've talked about this before,

is the fast forward 30 seconds button. He really likes that. Because even though he has Netflix, he'll still watch DVR at episodes of the office and we know it's commercial. Oh, he can just hit the 30 second button. I don't know. Seven, eight times, depending how long the commercials are. He's watching a football game. They recorded 40 second play clock. Boom.

You go watch it so fast. Yeah. He's going to miss that. But you can get a triple click or hey, let's make a let's make a button. We got to make a button. Yeah. For the Gen X Community, I think I think it would do just fine. We got to figure out how to market it to them How are they gonna find out how they're gonna find it newspaper ads or something? I don't know Rachel I've been cranking out some Parks and Rec recently. It's getting so good. I I'm not I'm gonna stop saying I told you but I see what people are saying now

I like dude it gets way better because it is I'm laughing way saying I told you, but. I see what people are saying now, when I'm like, dude, it gets way better. Cause it is, I'm laughing way more than I did the first season, but I think the first season was bad. It's that, that's what I think everyone says too. It's like, it's not bad. It's just, it's like,

it's like going to South Padre Island beach. It's like, that's a nice beach, but then you go to Hawaii and you're like, oh. Oh wow, South Padre wasn't that great. Yeah, they're both beaches. Yeah, we had fun at both of them. Yeah, it's just great. I mean, season four right now,

the episode, we watched like three last night, but one of them was when, so Leslie's in the middle of her city council campaign. So good. And they had the ice rink thing last night. That might be the best episode. It was really good. That's the funniest scene is when,

when they don't have enough red carpet for the ice skating rink. Yeah, that's so funny. And just like, get on your feet. Whatever that song is. Gloria Stefan. That was, I think we talked about that one time.

We talked about her. Yeah. Music makes that so funny. And the fact that it's get on your feet. Ron's holding the three-legged dog. He's like, the dog is peeing. He's peeing on me. Like, and then Pete comes out,

pistol Pete to dunk the basketball. He's peeing on me. And then Pete comes out, Pistol Pete, to dunk the basketball. I mean, the whole thing, I mean, the amount of times they play that song is so funny. Like the silence in between the, I mean, I remember watching that my senior year of college with my roommate, Logan Lindahl, shout out Logan, and he laughs, when he really laughs, he like doesn't make noise.

And he laughed for five minutes. And like we went and watched that thing with the 30 second rewind multiple times. Yeah, it's getting really good. I love it. I love Andy. I love. Ben Wyatt finally said something that made me laugh. It took him, I don't know, 40 episodes till he... I really... He softens up though.

I don't love his character. Yeah. But... I think you'll get there. When he was, when he's like in the middle of being depressed after he resigned and he's doing the claymation, that was kind of funny, which is right around those episodes too.

The claymation, okay. If I say, treat yourself, do you know what that is yet? Yes, we got through that, yeah. Have you seen the Batman part? Yeah, okay. I forgot about that. That was so funny. I forgot about that.

And then he like fixes the router as Batman. He's like, guys, I told you this a million times. Shooom. He throws his cape back on. Yeah, when he throws the cape. Yeah, man. He's good. Yeah, so it's good.

Yeah, Ben, for the most part, though, I'm like, all of his lines are so dumb. Some of it's not even his fault. It's just the writing of it. Yeah, but no. Overall, it's really good. I love Andy. I love Tom.

Love Ron. Those three alone. Really strong crew. No, man. They're all, by the end of it, they're all's really good. I love Andy, I love Tom, love Ron. Those three alone, really strong crew. No, man, they're all, by the end of it, they're all just so good. They just figure out how to use them all perfectly, like in perfect chorus, perfect unison. I know, I'm gonna put this up on the screen right now. Well, I'm not.

Yeah. Time it is. We have somebody for that. So during, when they're making the city council ad, you know, Ben wants to be negative, Leslie wants to be, when they're making the city council ad, you know, Ben wants to be negative, Leslie wants to be positive. They end up compromising and doing, they show young Leslie Knope. Yeah.

This, that image looks so much like Rachel. Oh really? It's crazy. I mean, Rachel and Amy Poehler. They already look alike. And then you had the 10 year old Leslie Knope looks so much like little Rachel. Wow.

So I'll send some pictures of time and you guys can look up on YouTube right now I see it. Yeah, I can see right now Yeah, the that's a great scene to Bobby Newport Yes, Bobby Newport That was what made me laugh like him Jerry and who is it Tom? I think yeah, it's going back and forth Bobby Never had a real job in his life. And then Jerry's doing it.

They go back and forth. They're like, Jerry, come on. We gotta get to work here. I love Paul Rudd's character. Yeah. The other times they just are referencing Bobby Newport, but when he actually entered, like the episode that he's in and how dumb he is,

I told Rachel, I was like, that's how you introduce a new character. Ben, learn from him. I told Rachel, I was like, that's how you introduce a new character, Ben. Learn from him. I thought Paul Rudd was so funny. So good, it's all great. So that's that, Parks and Rec, real good. We are recording this pre-Thanksgiving like we said,

but if you're listening to this, it's post-Thanksgiving. It is technically Cyber Monday right now. I have a theory and unless you're Friday Pickleball, go to Friday Pickle. Friday Pickle.com. Good job. Thank you. And by your paddles because it's super cheap deal right now. That's not the rest of the time. No, but I think do you feel like Black Friday's slash Cyber Monday is kind of dead? I mean, as far as it being a one day thing, yes. Right. But it is a good time to save money. Yeah, okay. I just feel like it used to be like, remember Black Friday.

Talk about something that like we remember that. It's extinct. It's fully extinct, what it used to be. It's like, you don't need to go to the store anymore. No, I do a Best Buy or Walmart. They're running ads on Peacock, so I know about it. I saw that. They keep talking about door buster.

And I think that word is so funny. So I keep using that to Rachel. Door buster. We go check out their door buster deals. Door busters. Or are they saying that they do have door busters? They're using it. I think they're trying to pitch it like,

you can get door buster deals now. That's what I'm saying. Like it feels like everyone's just trying to race each other to do the Black Friday deal earlier and earlier. So that it's not like, well, we waited to do it, run our ads or run our deal at the week of Thanksgiving or whatever. And people have already spent all their money or something. And so now it's just like, okay, you go a week before, then we'll go two weeks before. You go two weeks before, we'll do all of November. You do that, then we'll do Halloween, whatever. Yeah. Because I think high school,

media, so like 2010 and before, it was like there was a distinct Black Friday. At, you know, 6 a.m. on that Friday, was when it starts. And then by the time I was getting into college, I felt like it was getting pushed back more and more. And it was getting pushed back into Thanksgiving. And that's where we were like, that's not right. You shouldn't have to like leave your family.

Best Buy people are there at noon? Yeah, on Thanksgiving. And then how did we only know and how bad it would get because now, so, maybe we talk about this in the glossary episode, it's coming Wednesday, folks. But that was my intro to videography was me and my sister Black Friday shopping, bought a camera at Target. Okay. So, yeah, I owe a lot to Black Friday, but you fast forward 15 years and now it just,

it's all online. It's not even in stores. And I think we're going to see the same pattern where instead of it being, okay, just Black Friday, now it's the week of Thanksgiving, like you're saying, and it's gotta get to Halloween. Also, I don't trust Cyber Monday. I think so often it's just like, I don't know if this is true, somebody can confirm or deny it,

but I think so often it's like, Amazon's like 30% off, but really they just up their price and take it down to the normal price. I've seen Safari, the, you know, internet on iPhones. It has a little like built-in tool to kind of show you if prices have actually gone down for Black Friday. Oh, cool. Kind of cool. Yeah, because that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't, I don't believe anything anymore. Like, before it was like, I know that that DVD is not usually $1.

It's a dollar a night. I can get free Willy for a dollar and never open the case. Great. Sounds awesome. Yeah. Die hard. Sounds good. I don't know.

Buy it. Dollar? Yeah, take it. Sure. Yes. Hopefully other tools come along to help you know if you're actually getting a deal or not. Right. Yeah.

And maybe they were always doing that, but it just felt like it was a different time. Yeah. So, I mean, I have no interest in going Black Friday shopping now. And yeah, I used to always go like Thanksgiving night, like midnight Thanksgiving. It was fun. It was great.

That was a fun thing to do. Yeah. So. I just love seeing capitalism. Exactly. It is fun. Like there's a little bit of a rush. There's a long line at Old Navy. And I never had any money. I was in college while I was doing it. So I was like, what am I going to do?

Oh, you feel like a king though. It's like, whoa, these jeans are $16. Yeah. So we went back in time for one night. Yeah. Everything's affordable. Yeah. Well, hey, FridayPickle.com though, got some great Black Friday deals. Cyber Monday. And Cyber Monday too. Like slightly different deals, but also like discounted more than normal.

I am curious. It's like you're always like the paddles plus two free gifts. Is it not the same gift every time? Yeah, it's like we so we manufactured a lot of hats. And so we're giving those away for free. But then I think once we run out of the hats hats, then we're gonna give away paddle covers. So that's why we don't wanna like promise something, because once we run out and then it's like,

we said two gifts. Yeah. We said two gifts. Because I'm like, okay, what are the gifts? Are they like, yeah, here's a deflated ball. Yeah. I think on our website, like in the checkout card, it says like paddle cover plus one free mystery gift.

Oh, it does, okay. So you at least know something you're getting but Yeah, I meant to bring the paddle show them off because we find the I Became out the black Friday paddle people been asking it for this forever Yeah, could you just make like a more normal black one and so like we got you on black Friday Oh, I see like literally a black black Friday. That says Friday on it. Yeah, yeah, okay. There's still some designs It's not just totally black, but kind of fun. That's sweet I like that had to mad it out

All right. I have some weak weak updates here. I would love to hear your week updates. W e a K Maybe both. Yeah, where's this going? I don't know. Okay, let's get way. Where's this going? This is not a WEAK update. This is a STRONG update. Because Bo and I recently have gotten in the trend of lifting weights together. Oh, Catherine told me about this. Yeah, Bo has become like my shadow this past week.

And I don't know if it's like a week thing or if it's going to be like this for five years or what. I mean, but right now, he is just like, want to do everything with me. So we've been yeah Putting firewood away together. We've been grilling together. We've been watching NFL prime time together So every single game comes up and he'll be like I want the Lions to win and all he cares about is the score I don't even know if he's watching the game, but at the very end they just you know show what

He watches as if there's no clues to who's going to win. Exactly. All right, get to the score. This isn't helping. Do you see it's 27 to 10 right now? They're going to lose. Oh, yeah, exactly. But he knows Boomer and Booger's name.

Oh, fun. So cute. So anyway, but yeah, another thing, we're lifting weights. So he has Catherine's little pink three pound weights. OK. And then I have like these 25 pound, I always get confused. Dumbbells are the ones that are individual. Barbell is the long pole.

Dumbbells. And I just make up stuff for us to do and see if he can do them. And if we can do them, we do more of them or whatever. So you're not taking them to lifetime. This is like backyard. Yeah, this is either on the deck or in the shop. We've done it. That's great.

And but he, because he's lifting weights, He thinks he's the strongest guy in the world Why would he not like every time he does anything that anytime Katherine asks like Bo? Can you move that chair for me? He'll be like mom I can move that chair because I've been lifting weights It all comes back to the weights. Yeah, no problem. I can do that. I've been lifting weights Yeah, dad someday Henry's gonna do that with us and we're all gonna be really strong. And so one of the things we do is like, just like a shoulder press, I guess, with the dumbbells,

but I call them raise the roofs. That's a good idea. We do raise the roofs? And I said, because someday we're gonna be so strong that we can literally raise a roof together. And he's convinced that it's true. He's like, all right, because I said something like, Bo, you're gonna be so strong someday,

you're gonna be able to lift a car. He's like, I'm gonna be able to lift a roof I was like, yes, because we're raising the roof raise the roof So he can't do it with three pound weights yet, but maybe someday he'll be able to raise a roof Okay, he's struggling with it a little bit. He can only do so he takes it takes two hands one dumbbell just Pushes it up. That's what's so funny. I would have no idea what a four and a half year old could lift. I figured three pounds would be fine for him. Yeah. Uh, but in some exercises it is like curling.

He had a little bit of a hard time with curling. I think if he sat down, he could do them better, you know, it's, or just, I'm just messing around. We do farmer's walks.

Gymnastics meat, track meat. No real meat updates. I think when I go down for Thanksgiving, I'm gonna, so Good Ranchers sent me Christmas ham, Thanksgiving ham and some burgers. So I think I will, I'm gonna take my family, both of those things. And then maybe we grill out some burgers and I try that.

Like Good Ranchers burger seems like a safe thing to try. Waggleby. Yes. Yes. Where even if it hurts, it can't be that bad. It'll be fine. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so.

That's fair. Yeah, so we'll try that. I looked, I guess if we want to make this on Thanksgiving, we're supposed to be thawing it out now. Actually got an email from Good Ranchers. That's very nice of them. That's very good. I would not have had any idea. Yeah thought now Interesting. Oh, hey You're listening and you thought now for Christmas

Yeah, four days Heads up. Yeah Yeah, that was fun. I actually got to see my family this past weekend before Thanksgiving we had a we had a death in the family I actually got to see my family this past weekend before Thanksgiving. We had a death in the family. My grandfather passed away actually while I was on the hunting trip, which was honestly, I mean, a great time. It was like, man, I'm surrounded by everyone I love and this is great.

And just real quick, I'll say like, my grandpa, this is my dad's dad. He's had type 1 diabetes his whole life, I mean, he, like, outlived his life expectancy for a diabetic by like 25 years. So we're very, very blessed with the time he got and he was in a little bit of pain at the end of his life, so this is totally a good thing. But still, it doesn't matter how ready you think you are,

it's just like, oh, it's today? Yeah, right. Oh my gosh. Totally. Why didn't know it was gonna be today. Yeah, yeah just like, oh, it's today? Yeah, right. Oh my gosh. Totally. Why didn't know it was gonna be today? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, wait, can I? I don't know why I thought

it was gonna get a heads up about this. Yeah, and you know that he's been sick, so it's like, it's bound to happen eventually. But yeah, I felt the same way. Yeah. My grandmom. And yeah, my dad and grandma were in the room when he passed away. My dad was the one who like discovered he was like, yeah, no longer breathing. So it, in a sense, it does feel really sudden. But anyway, um, so we, you know, we're going down there this past week to

do visitation, funeral, uh, and everything. And, um, just a couple shout outs. I wanted to say one was to, um, I don't even know how they knew, but a handful of ghosties sent flowers. Oh wow. I have no idea. I got to the visitation and my parents were like, go look over there. So I don't know if they want to remain anonymous or not.

So I don't know, but you know who you are. That was crazy. Wow. That was such a nice gesture. I don't even know how you learned that. Yeah. But the fact that they were already flowers there, I mean, they were all over it. Wow. Of course, the ghosties.

Yeah, right. That's, that's, they're the best. And yeah, visitation was great. I mean, this is a 85 year old man, you know, I really didn't know who even goes to visitations. And we had a line out the door for, I mean, it went like past, it was like visitations for five to seven and we had people there to like 745. Really? This is really cool. Got to see a lot of people. A lot of like, people I played high school sports with, parents or them there. They're like, well yeah, your grandpa was at all my games.

Yeah, right. Yeah, he was. This is the grandpa that came to your pickleball tournament, right? Yes, yeah, I can remember. In the wheelchair, whatever he was in, yeah. Yeah, he was in a little motorized car. And yeah, I think it would make a noise if he left it on.

And so he would turn it off. But then if Isaac and I had a good point, he would turn it back on and honk. It would take a while to fire up. So it'd take 30 seconds and yeah, you never knew what he was really honking at. So it was so delayed. That's amazing. Yeah. Good memory. Yeah. I forgot. He came to, he saw me do a pickleball tournament. Yeah. Yeah. That was everything with this grandpa. We were very, very close. And so for a long time, it was always like my goal, like, well, I want my grandpa.

I just hope he could stick around long enough to see me get married. That'd be great. Then I graduated SBU and then a few years go by. I'm like, I'm gonna have to move the goalpost a little bit here. It's not looking good for grandpa. I just wanna make sure he knows I'm not gay.

Just got a few dates. Yeah, I'm gonna just bring him with me. But then I really did move the goalpost. I was like, all right, it'd be really cool if he got to see me do standup comedy. And we did it. And he got to see me get married. So that was really cool.

And then the other shout out goes to Brad Ellis, who surprised all of us by coming to the funeral. Yeah, man. That was unbelievable. I mean, my family, we were sitting around like days after the funeral. And I remember my dad just being like, man, I can't believe Brad came to that.

That meant so much to me. So yeah, dude, thank you for coming. That was so cool. I mean, yeah, just showing up and you were just there and knowing, I mean, you drove three hours that morning funeral for an hour maybe and then three hours back That really meant a lot to me and my whole family. Yeah, that was really cool. Of course. I well Yes, I wanted to be there. I think from what I understand I didn't know your grandpa at all. That's what's so crazy Yeah, I never met him

Mmm, not that I can remember I but I remember that video of him back in the day that you made, like when you were doing the 20 and daily video. Yeah. And his iPad. And but I think I just know that he was so impactful to you and your dad. Yeah. And that like that. I mean, I'm like, OK, those guys, specifically you, obviously.

But your dad, too, have like impacted me so much. And so, yeah, if that guy impacted these guys, then therefore I have that guy to honor, you know what I mean? So, um, and I want to give a shout out. Sam Seavers came to my grandma's funeral and it meant so much to me. And I was talking to Catherine, I was like, I'm thinking about going to this funeral and she had a good wisdom. She's like, you don't ever like blame people for not coming to the funeral. Like you're never gonna be like, whoa, Jake didn't come to my grandma's funeral.

But it's like, also like I remember the people that do come. And so I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna do it. I think it'd be sweet, you know, and it was, it was awesome to see you got to speak from it, which was awesome and you did an awesome job. Thank you. Yeah, man, it was my pleasure and my honor to go and, yeah, be there with you guys.

I tried to be incognito in the back, but I was also crying pretty hard. So I was like, gosh, I hope there's somebody next to me that was like, what's going on over there? So anyway, it was awesome, man. It was really great. Yeah, that really meant a lot. I know my grandma, my family, Angie, John, everybody. That was really great. Yeah, that really meant a lot. Yeah, I know my grandma my family Angie John everybody

Yeah, I'm glad you came and yeah, it was good. Good service your coach. Yeah my coach He spoke probably the most of funeral and he did such a good. Oh, yeah. He yeah, he's a good he's talented Yeah, yeah, he's good. It's fun watching him do like like to be really serious It's very intentional like same with when he was Caitlin's. Yeah, like almost talking slow. Right. Every words mean something. Yeah, I mean, it's not some of his words. And yeah, he did a really good job.

He, I mean, I don't know if you remember, I mean, he ended his portion of the funeral with a really, really powerful couple of things. And then I have to go right after him. It's like, whoo. Okay. Right. This is already gonna be tough. And you ended it like that. And then I have to go right after. This is already gonna be tough and yeah, you know like that. I know you did a great job though He took a good breath and yeah went for it. But Yeah, anyway, thanks, dude. Sure, man. Um, I have I have something adjacent ish. Okay, great

I've got one other thing to oh, no, no. Well, it's it's adjacent to it as well Okay on the way home from the funeral. I stopped for my, you know, McDonald's diet Dr. Pepper. Oh, nice. You know, had to, had to fuel up a little bit. And I don't know, I mean, it's just a funny thing that I wrote down in my notes was I, you know, I'm always using Apple Pay. I'm always trying to see if I can reach it there. And so I scan with my Apple Pay and I just go, and I don't need my receipt. And this woman responded with the loudest,

ha, I've ever heard. She just goes, ha! I'm like, I don't need my receipt. Oh, okay. Have a good day. She was saying like, what did you say, ha? It was like, it was the most aggressive, like, and I don't even see ha

I'll take it if you if you need to give it to me mad. What's that? Yeah, I just I don't need it. I'm good I'm in my suit, you know, and I'm just like I just want to die. Dr. Pepper and get out of here I don't even ever see ha Little John over there. Where is this at? On like that main I I don't know. In Springfield? 13, is that what it is? Okay, yeah, yeah. Like the one that kids express way or whatever.

Yeah, takes you out to Bolivar. Yeah, so wherever like that Jimmy John's is over there. Yeah. That's like, huh? I was like, all right. You're talking to ya. Springfield, man, yeah, it's a scary place. Don't live there.

Don't live there. Yeah, that's funny. The live there. Don't live there. Yeah, that's funny. The one, maybe like podcast where they take away I had. So we're, this is the after the, I think it's after the funeral. We went back to my grandma's house. We're always hanging out, just our family. And we're just kind of debriefing.

Sorry, I just had another slot. Is there anything better than debriefing? Do I love debriefing? If you're- I love debriefing with your loved ones. Okay, that's what I was gonna say. With your buddies. Loved ones or lover.

If you're a single out there, find, I don't care about anything else. Maybe values. Faith and values. Outside of that- Maybe. Find someone who you love to debrief with. Debriefing is great. You will debrief so much in your life. It is great to have someone who you're on the same page with. You notice the same things. You see things to the same

lens. Oh yeah. Oh, nothing like a debrief. Nope. And when you come from a funny family, debriefing is the best. It's so funny. Anyway, this wasn't even meant to be that funny in the moment. We're all just like sharing about this wasn't even meant to be that funny in the moment. We're all just like sharing about people like, can you believe so and so was there? So it was there last night and today. That's so cool. Talking about different things. And so we get talked about one guy and someone's like, was so and so there today? I know I talked to him last night and then it starts the now which one is he? He's the he's the older guy. He was old guy. I think he had like a Navy hat on,

so we're all trying to describe him. Then Rachel goes, oh, that's junkyard dog. No, that's who my parents were in line with at the visitation. I'll shout out to the Coops. They drove down to the funeral visitation as well. So they were in line with the visitation

with a guy who introduced himself as the junkyard dog. That's his nickname. Okay, so the Coops know him as junkyard dog. Then as we start to describe him, this clicks with a coach, Uncle John. He's like, oh, this is the Vietnam vet. He's got like Agent Orange. Oh wow.

And he's still alive? Yes, he introduced himself to me as Agent Orange. It's more like- That's cooler. So Agent- Junkyard dog's still alive. Yes. He introduced himself to me as agent orange. It's more like that's cooler So he don't our dogs pretty cool Agent orange is cooler. So now we've got to we know his real name We know him as junkyard dog and now John knows him as agent orange We got three names in there and so we still got someone else who's like who is this guy? We're trying to describe him and this is like a a friend of the family and she starts a piece of together

Oh, that's so-and-so. He was my Sunday school teacher. I didn't know you were talking about so-and-so. And then we're just like, oh, there's no way. And then I kid you not, it's like out of a sitcom. Brayden goes, my sister's husband, he goes, wait, teacher just reminded me, I talked to a guy last night, you know,

he describes him, does he look like this, this, this? Yes, it's him. Okay, he told me he used to be a substitute teacher, but the pay wasn't good enough, so he started teaching in the prison. We're like, who is this guy? This is like how people talk about- Also, he gets around, man.

Yeah, he talked to everyone and talked to everyone about something different. How did he do this? I said it would be like if you, if Forrest Gump was at the funeral, oh, we all debriefed meeting Forrest Gump. That's amazing. Is that the guy who was there for Watergate?

Yeah, he played for Alabama. Yeah, he did this and that. He founded Bubba Gump Shrimp. Yeah, he all debrief meeting for a scum. That's amazing. That the guy who was there for Watergate? Yeah, he played for Alabama. Right? Yeah, he did this and that founded Bubba gum shrimp. Yeah, he's ping pong champion. This was incredible at table tennis. It was real life debriefing for a scum. That's amazing. And the fact that he mainly goes by junkyard. Junkyard dog. What a great name. Wow. But yeah, still alive. And he's got Agent Orange, you know, kind of infection infecting his body and, wow, anyway, and he was a good, uh, good friend of my grandpa's, but yeah. Cause your grandpa, like he grew up in

that area his whole life. Yep. Yep. Never left. And so I'm sure, yeah. Anybody that's still alive, that's his friend was probably there. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, that's the thing. Like my grandma died when she was 93 or something like that. And so it's like, if you're still alive and like the funeral was at her, like her, where she lived, like her senior living area, community, whatever. And so there were a lot of people there. And I'm just like, how many funerals

do you think these people go to? You know what I mean? Like, is that mainly what they do? Are they used to this? Like, cause I'm never used to it. I'm always so emotional about, especially when they're Christians, obviously. It's just like, they are in such a lovely place right now.

You can't even fathom how much better they have it than we do. Right. And it's just like, praise God, you know? And so, yeah, but it's like these old people are just like acting like, oh, another Tuesday, you know? Not truly. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But like, it's just, yeah, it's just, does it get more normalized? I don't know. But. Yeah. Just wanted to give a't know, but. Yeah. Just wanted to give a shout out to him. Absolutely.

Junkyard dog. Man, that was funny debriefing. Debriefing is like a joy though. You're right. Like I think that was part of the fun of the hunting trip was like, yeah, hunting was fun, but then you get back and you start like, be like, you missed this over here.

Oh dude, we did this. And then like back and forth. And all of a sudden it just like roller coasters on each other. I've been trying to analyze like what did make that hunting trip so special? And I think it is when it comes to the hunting and it's the setup of hunting,

instead of a pheasant hunting specifically where like you're kind of spread out but fun things are happening but you're not always aware what's happening. Maybe the fact that we're all beginners probably adds to it but the fact that like you have to debrief because you couldn't see everything. Yeah. And it's so good. There was always so much to talk about.

Totally, dude. I love a good debrief. I think Rachel and I like attend social gatherings just so we could debrief it afterwards. Oh, the drive home is a great debrief. You think I want to go to that party? No, I just want to see what happens at debrief afterwards. What did you learn in your circles?

Yeah. How are the girls, how's Emily doing? Yeah, who did you meet? Yeah, there was a guy who How's Emily doing? Yeah. Who did you meet? Yeah. There is a, there's a guy who goes to church with us, actually. I don't know if I've talked about some of the podcasts before, but in one very short conversation to me at church, he insulted the sport of pickleball and standup comedy. Have I talked about this guy before? Oh yeah. That was an all time debrief. It's like, I just can't like, let's go to the car right now and debrief. I can't even I can't even focus during church right now

That's great. Yeah, so Anyway, all right. Well, we are so yeah, we're doing a glossary episode Wednesday So we're kind of combining Monday and Wednesday episodes today doing a little schmores. Can we do winds of the week real quick? Do you have one? Yes, I do. Okay. I have like, I have four, I think. So you can go first and I can go, or we can go back and forth. Okay, you start. Number one was my cozy earth massive blanket.

Oh, yeah. Just a, it's a game changer to everything. Like I've been feeling kind of off recently and it has been a hug. And then I'll go number two was Henry joined Datterday for the first time. Okay, he's in. My youngest son, yeah, came to Panera with us.

It was a quick 45 minutes, just in and out kind of thing. But he was in it with us and we did all right. We survived, yeah. All right, my first of two win of the weeks is gonna be an actress by the name of Annie Sertich. Okay. S right. My first of two win of the weeks is going to be an actress by the name of Annie Sertich. Okay. Sertich. Kind of grew up. Yeah. Does the name mean anything to you? Not yet. Okay. So I, um, we're watching probably Parks and Rec, some commercial comes on and I just, I get real fixated, um, to, uh, you know, to a dangerous

degree. I'm like, who is that girl in the Geico caveman commercial? I was gonna say, I recognize her. I'm like, man, she looks familiar. And then the other guy in the caveman commercial, I'm like, that's the guy from Jury Duty in Parks and Rec. He's the creepy guy in Parks and Rec, I think. So I'm like, I'm already nailing that.

I gotta figure out who this girl is. Very hard to find out the cast of a commercial these days. It's like, Rachel, come in here. Who is that girl? Why she looks like a mirror? And then this is kind of wild. The very next commercial, not for Geico PNC bank or something. I'm like, I'm almost positive. That's that girl again. She's killing it. Back to back commercials. She's, she's top golf, Rachel in commercials.

I saw her at top golf. I think it's the same girl again. So that is already, I mean, side crazy. Just like, yeah, back to back. like back to back, I barely recognize you. You're never back in my door. Crazy. So I'm like, I'm paused the show. Rachel, go on a walk. This is, I need, I can't do anything until I figure this out. You like put a bulletin board up.

You have her picture, commercial, question mark. It took me a while, but I figured it out. She, if you go to her IMDB, she has like 54 credits. Yes. You go to the very bottom, very bottom. I credits. Yes, you go to the very bottom very bottom I mean, there's so much to scroll by you're getting discouraged like I would see any of this I haven't seen any of this haven't seen this the very first thing she was ever in 2006 the office the hibachi episode where Dwight's talking about how to like clean a goose

Yes, she's the annoyed girl next to Dwight, right who won't share her That's amazing and you figured out that was that's the one place you know her from. Win of the week. All that happened like a 10 minute span. I bet you're using the Nakhiri knife action on that. Right. He was like, actually it's soba. I bet you wish you had Nakhiri.

No soba is better. For this quantity, soba is better. I don't think so. I think Nakhiri is better. And she goes, I think he'd know. Right. Is that the same girl? Yeah, exactly.

That's amazing. I think he'd know. I think he'd know. Right? Is that the same girl? Yep, exactly. Yeah, that's amazing. I think he'd know. I think he'd know. That's funny. Yeah, that's kind of how I felt about her too. Like I was like, I recognize her, but I think I recognize her from the commercial. Yep. Wow.

So, wind of the week, that girl, Annie. Annie, you're going places, girl. I spent so much time trying to find her. How do you think people, like, do people, would people be proud to be in commercials? Cause I think that sounds like an awesome job. I think it is very little time commitment, but a lot of people still see your face. You kill it for like, you just have to act and like film stuff probably one day.

Yeah. And then you're one day. And I think if it's like nationally syndicated or whatever, I think you get paid quite a bit like flow. I bet flows. Oh yeah. She's got a contract. Yeah.

Flow Jake from state farm. They're doing well. Do you think Jake from State Farm? Cackeys you think he did alright, or you think it's just Drake from State Farm Drake from State Farm really killing it Okay, one other quick thing on commercials. Okay, but think about this did the Lee me Lee Moo emu Yep, the Liberty Mutual emu. Yep emu. I don't even know how you're supposed to pronounce it. I think it's a bad Liberty Mutual Emu? Yeah. Emu, I don't even know how you're supposed to pronounce it.

I think that's a bad mascot because I keep thinking it's for T-Mu, the like- Oh, okay. Marketplace. Yeah. Because when I think, T-Mu, Emu, that little jingle,

I always think it's T-Mu. T-Mu, Emu. Because I don't think Lemu, it stands shortened for Liberty Mutual. I think it's bad. I wanna know how marketing works in general because I don't have one iota of understanding of what Liberty Mutual really does, nor do I really like absorb that commercial at all.

However, when you said, leave me with you, I knew exactly what you're talking about. Yeah. You know what I mean? And so it's like, is that a success to them? That one day I'm going to be in between? I guess these are insurance I think it's like Geico progressive like one day. I'm gonna be like, I don't know which one to choose Ah Liberty Mutual. I've heard of them. Is that all it takes? I guess that's the goal

Same with Geico. I don't know a single Geico person who's using Geico I think I used to and now I'm back on progressive. Okay bundle good for you. I'm an auto baby bundle baby Bundle Ruski. I'm a home's an auto guy Yeah, you support the boys. That's right. Anyway Temperatures outside are dropping the weather outside is frightful but inside can be so Cozy, yeah, it doesn't rhyme but it sure is true. Yes as it

Permission to rhyme permission to rhyme It doesn't rhyme, but it sure is true. Yes. Permission to rhyme? Permission to rhyme. Brr, outside my nose is rosy. But inside. But inside my body is cozy. And that's because Cozy Earth, we already talked about it in this episode, but this blanket they have come out with,

brother, it's called the cuddle blanket, I think on their website. Yeah. It's worth every penny. Every Brother. It's called the cuddle blanket, I think on the website. Yeah. It's worth every penny. Every penny. It's worth every penny. But I mean, there's all sorts of ways to be cozy with Cozy Earth.

funerals are good for the soul. They really are. I think it's good. It helps you re-prioritize everything, put everything in perspective. Makes you think about your own funeral. What do you want people saying? Yeah. What do you want people, who do you want to be there?

Makes you think about other people in my life's funeral. Yeah. 100% dude. It's a huge perspective shift. Yep. My, yeah, I guess not really adjacent, but kind of. My last one of the week is just recently, especially, but always, like, coming home to my kids, they are so excited to see me and it is, it never gets old. Yeah. Like literally like, Beau will see me like, pull in the driveway and whatever he's doing, he literally just drops it and runs.

And it's so awesome. Like, just runs with his hair flopping everywhere and just so excited to see me. So that's my last one of the week, especially like coming home from the pheasant hunt. They were all waiting for me outside. So not trying to tell your family what kind of traditions you should have and whatnot, but I just had a flashback to, I think when my dad had like a very regular job, he would get home at a very regular time every day. So this would be tougher, but there was a short period of my life where we would, um, we do hide and seek every day when he got home. That's fun.

It was like 5.15. Love it. I gotta start hiding. Yeah, right. And then with four kids, that could be tough. That could take a while. I would be a little scared that some of them are too good. Yeah, so I don't know.

Maybe it has to be in the wood shop. I think that's great. I think that's so fun. I like any tradition like that. Right now it's deer hunting or going on a drive or something but going on drives fun Yeah, but not as fun as hide-and-seek for kids. Maybe just for the wintertime. They're not outside playing anyway. Yeah, so anyway All right. Let's uh, let's do some wins more Wednesday stuff. Let's do some schmores. Yeah, let's do it I'll uh, I'll call coop. I'll call Scotty. We'll just do a

four-way speakerphone here. I don't remember who on the Facebook group suggested this, but we were doing nighttime snacks. The schmores of nighttime snacks. Excuse me while I'm millennial. Siri, call Scott Cell on speaker. Worked every time.

Did it work? Oh yeah. Hello. Steve Coop. All right. So his phone's dead. He's gonna say Brad day. He's gonna say boys.

Hey boys. Hey boys. Hi buddy. How are you? Good dude. We just on the battlefield with Palmer trying to get some teeth pulled right now. Oh, the battle. What's the strategy?

Dude, I don't know. She's terrified. She's got her two front lower teeth are both like, I genuinely don't even know how they're still in her mouth, but she will not not let us pull on them at all And say I'm trying to negotiate with her What kind of negotiation are you doing? Hold dad's hand, you know Just anything you could throw out like I was about to start throwing out monetary values

Hold out Palmer Hold out for the good stuff. It's a good negotiating skills. Just wait don't don't never take the first offer Are these her first ones? No, she had her top front tooth, but she had to get it pulled because she had like a It's called a abscess. I think it was like an infection or something for the word. So she Yeah, she had to go to the dentist and get that pulled. I think it's traumatized her forever even though like not every tooth coming out is that bad, but Yeah, anyways, she's got her bottom teeth. She has the new teeth are behind her old teeth. Yeah

Gotta get them out. Yeah. Like a shark. Yeah, they're like, it's literally like a shark. Yeah, she's got multiple rows of teeth. It's crazy. Have you tried the floss thing where you just wrap it around with floss and pull? We did that the other night was when my mother-in-law was here,

but Palmer was just freaking out too much to really let anything productive happen. So I'm just hoping that in the time we're doing schmores, they come out here with a piece of toilet paper holding two teeth. Yeah, right. But I don't know if that's gonna happen. I feel like Hattie, we just like kind of let her move it

back and forth herself. That way she could like feel the pain herself rather than us. Like I think sometimes it is like the scary part is like, you don't know what it's like, but like, and eventually it just like popped out for her. But I don't remember losing my teeth. Like I don't know what it's like but like and eventually just like popped out for her But I don't remember losing my teeth like I don't remember I couldn't tell you one single way that I lost a tooth or if it was painful or uncomfortable or anything

I just don't even remember it. Yeah, that's that's a good lesson right there. Don't don't stress too much Just pull them out and she won't be traumatized at all Exactly, are you ready for some s'mores? When you're 33 watching Monday Night Football, you're not even gonna remember what you just did. Exactly. Are you ready for some s'mores? I'm ready. We've got a real, real issue over here. I'll be fine, but I definitely made a note in my phone called nighttime snacks.

Not on the computer, not on the phone. Oh, interesting. There's no recently deleted folder. No snacks? Like if you just search? Yeah, search everything. How's that happen? Jake's going blind.

Yeah, I think his phone's either turned off or dead. We try to call Angie call Angie We call it real quick. I might need a bigger list You'll be fine.

Yeah, I think I might have deleted them, but I think I still have them in my Can you save me some of the ones that didn't make the cut? I might have deleted them, but I think I still have them in my deleted folder. So I'll try to dig them out. Oh man.

Yeah. Okay. The best ones you can think of. All right. So Scott'll start. All right. I'm glad I had first pick because I feel like the best all time nighttime snack is cereal and milk.

Oh, cereal and milk. Oh, man. Gotta snack that one. That's a no brainer for the draft pick for me there. snack is cereal and milk. Oh, cereal and milk. Snack that one. That's a no brainer for draft pick for me. And they're that. Yeah, I agree. I was going to take it. I don't know if it's truly the number one pick, but also maybe it is.

I was going to take it first. I'm pretty sure I've eaten more cereal at night than I have. I have in the morning in my life. That's fair. I know. No qualms. Good pick. Thank you. Thank you. All right, Steve. You got the second pick cereals off the board. I had a number one right beside cracklin oak brand. So cracklin oak bread is so good. It is so underrated. Steve. People don't even know what it is. It's number one. It's fibrous though, Steve.

It'll get you going. That's a good thing. Yeah. All right. Yes, Scotty. Yeah, exactly. Oh man. So we're going to go with, Corey already told me this is gross, but I like those little

What? Was, was crackle note brand not your, it's like cereal. Oh, that's a cereal. Okay. Sorry. I don't understand. All right, sorry Go ahead. So those little wafer cookies like those little strawberry wafer cookies. Oh, yeah Yeah Do you like the strawberry or like just the Neapolitan like they come usually I feel like in like the chocolate Yeah, awesome. Oh, the Neapolitan, yes. That's one of those things I forgot existed until right now.

Those things are amazing. I'll go ahead and cross strawberry wafers off my list. This is exactly I got to give Brad credit. He was the one who had this idea to get Steve Koop on the podcast because he said, I feel like he's gonna have some interesting answers. Yeah, Scott was worried about like, I might lose a, yeah, Steve might take some of my answers. I was like, I don't think Steve's taking your answers.

All right, I'm next. Yeah. Still can't find my note. Whatever, I'll be fine. This is a food I've never eaten when the sun is out. I treat this food like Princess Fiona popcorn, oh Popcorn you have to eat at night. Okay. Yeah

Interesting yeah, I yeah never a bad pick. Yeah, most of the picks pregnant we sweet but there's a there's a salty one salty there Okay. Um, I am going to be sweet, but there's a there's a salty one. You're salty there. OK. I am going to say for if I first pick chocolate chip cookies. Oh, chocolate chip cookies. Yeah. My mom specifically makes my favorite chocolate chip cookies. They are super flat little things. And so you taste those chocolate chips real nice.

My mom's like, they're not good because they're so flat. I was like, mom, they're perfect. And that's good. Yep. Chocolate chip cookies. And then my second one, I'm going to go, I'm going to go chips and salsa. I'm going chips and salsa. Wow. Chips and salsa. Yeah. Never hard and salsa. Wow. Chips and salsa. Yeah. Never. It's hard to sleep after that, but it's good. Cause of the acid reflux or something? Yeah.

Ah. first to you Jake. Alright back to me so glad it's still on the board. Ice cream! Everyone just makes their own noise. It's really good with those strawberry wafer cookies. Oh yeah it would be good. Oh yeah good stuff. Alright Steve back to you. Already. Oh boy. Well, I have cheese on toast. Sometimes cottage cheese on toast. Cottage cheese on toast? Scott's laughing. Learn that from my dad. Learn that from my dad, and now my son Tom does it too. Tommy does it too?

You worried about him taking your pick, Scotty? Yeah. Did I say I was gonna be the only gay people in the world that eat cottage cheese on toast? Scott Peck is dying laughing right now. I'm taking your pick Scotty. Scott Peck is dying laughing right now. Cottage cheese on toast. Alright. Scott's had it. I love it, Steve. I love it. It just makes me laugh. He's had it. He's had it.

Oh my gosh. All right. Great pick. All right. You're going to be back soon, Steve. Have another one ready to go. Scott's got two though. All right.

I'm going to go with leftover pizza. Dang. On my list. Yeah. You have a little pizza maybe the day before, earlier in the day, throw that baby under the broiler. Get it nice and crispy. Pre-heat, reheat. On my list Yeah, good answer good answer. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you Of course, oh yeah, How could I forget that? Gotta have a little puppy chow.

You know anybody that makes exceptional puppy chow? Honestly, I had some of that last night. Me, myself, and I have brother. Steve had some last night, he said. I truly did. What did I came to see? Oh. Did that, was that the chaser for the cottage cheese and toast?

All right, Steve, you're up. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein.

I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein.

I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a little protein. I'm going to say a Some protein. A little protein. Okay. I will say if I was a betting man, I would have lost money. I would have thought for sure something from Buc-E's would have been in the first three picks. I can't believe it. You never know what might show up next. Hunk of deli meat. Okay. My third pick. This is probably the late night snack I've had the

most in my life. Oreos and milk. Oh sure. Oreos and milk. And don't go golden, don't go double stuff. No double stuff? Just keep it. I don't like double stuff. Yeah. What? Just don't even mess with it.

10% milk, single stuff, black Oreos. It's as good as it gets. Dude, double stuff are unbelievably better than the regular. It's the perfect ratio for me to create. Oh my gosh. I mean, great pick, but double stuff. Double stuff is on my list.

All right. I'm not going to win this anyway, so I'm going to go a little wild here. Kind of similar to Steve's third pick. I have cheddar off the block. Cheddar off the block. Just a nice slice of cheddar. You cut it with any knife you have available.

It might be really thick in one spot and then like barely cut on the other side, but you're just going cheddar off the block slices of cheddar. Um, and then my last pick is going to be, uh, Catherine calls it a peanut butter stick, uh, just a spoon where you just stiff it, stuck it, stuff, stick it in the peanut butter and you just scoop one out and you just eat peanut butter from a spoon. Yep, peanut butter and spoon.

That's good, that's a good choice. That's good. All right, my final pick, it's gonna be pop tarts. Oh, sure. I feel like there's very much, there's breakfast pop tarts and there's late night pop tarts. Oh, sure. I feel like there's very much, there's breakfast pop tarts and there's late night pop tarts. So we're talking like, I would say brown sugar, cinnamon is one of the only

that can do both, but for the most part, late night pop tarts are gonna be your Schmores, your hot fudge sundae, that's probably my favorite one. Yeah, the ones that are like, these are not masquerading as breakfast foods at all. Yeah, it would be weird to have them in the morning. Hot fudge sundaes are really good, late night pop tarts. Dude, I think the cinnamon one is just the only answer,

always, it's just so good. They're so good. So good. All right, good answer, Jake. I don't like the s'mores ones. You don't? No, but I like the cinnamon ones. I mean, it's hard to dislike anything

that's that much sugar. Yeah. Anyway, all right, Steve, you got one more pick. Well, let's see. I would say something pickled like beets or pickles, but, and then you had to drink a little bit of the juice, but not too much. All right. All right.

You can't take that one, Scott. Something pickled like beets are pickled and you have to drink a little bit of the juice, but not too much. Got it. I will write that down Something pickled what goes number one for you when it comes to pickled things beats beats beats Man, I like gherkins. I like bread and butter pickles I'll go gherkins if I have to

incredible gherkins I'm just picturing, I'm picturing Steve with like a big grin on his face and his teeth and gums are just all stained red. Good night, Angie. Steve, you've been getting in the beats, haven't you? No, I didn't drink too much juice. Yeah. Show me your hands. Oh my gosh.

That's great. Jake, right now, one of my favorite things is watching my kids all pray at the dinner table. It's sweet. Rosie, you can't understand what she's saying, but she's closing her eyes. She's clenching her hands so tight and she's just like, da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba ba ba ba ba. It's like Joe Pesci in Home Alone and it's so sweet. And there's just something special

about being around the dinner table. I think there's something different, especially this time of year where it's dark out when you're at dinner. You know what I mean? Like, it's just like, there's something really sweet and warm about the dinner table. And Good Ranchers is sponsoring this podcast

in order to make it even warmer around the table. There's something special about just closing your hands together tight. Yes. You do that with a little food in there. Oh baby. You got a little fork in there. Please.

A little knife in there, hold it tight. Grip that bad boy. And I tell you what, if you got a knife in that hand, you're not gonna need to hold that tight because it's probably gonna cut pretty easily. It's tender, baby, yeah. A lot of these meats are gonna be pre trimmed pre cut. Yes. One thing they're not gonna do is have

any seed oils. No way have any hormones have any antibiotics because that stuff's gross. Gross get it out of my family. Yeah. Good ranchers.com it's American meat delivered. That is their slogan.

All right, my final pick is the tried and true Gardettos. Oh. The snack mix that I have consumed more than probably anything in my life. Gardettos, dude. Don't even, don't, don't, don't Chris Berman Gardettos. No, no, I was, I was like, I was, I was reminiscing with you about the Gardettos, Scotty. Okay, okay, okay. No, no, I was, I was like, I was, I was reminiscing with you about the guardados.

Scotty. No, no, no. I'm trying to think of if I love guardados or if I just love those one brown ones and the rest of them were just like, yeah, for sure. But I still love everything. And when you can get a bite that has a little ride chip, little pretzel, little breadstick thingy. Yeah.

That's bliss. You need the whole team in order to appreciate those ride chips. Like if they're all ride chips, I think it would just, it would just be miserable. Yeah, you can't just have a quarterback. You gotta have teammates. Yeah, you gotta have an oven to find.

We recently shot a Friday Pickleball video where it's two on one, Scott's by himself. He's running around a lot. And after he gets run a little bit, he goes, oh man, I shouldn't have had that many Gardettos. And I remember thinking, that's a pretty light snack. So how many Gardettos did he consume to where it's making him sick?

I'll throw down a bag in 48 hours. Yeah, I don't know if you've seen Jake, there was some funny comments too. There was like two or three people that isolated that comment I made and some guy brought up the right chips specifically. And another guy brought up cardettos. It was pretty funny.

And people were like, oh. Steve, what were you gonna say? I'd say that's like 16 good picks. 16 good picks, yeah. Everyone of them was good. I mean, Jake got some hot picks. I don't know how people are gonna feel about popcorn, but ice cream, Oreos, and milk, and Pop-Tarts

are a nice three-peat. I somehow went in reverse order. That's fun. Okay, any that got left off the list for you guys? Any honorable mentions? I got mixed nuts. Yeah. I got mixed nuts.

Got mixed nuts. I got mixed nuts. Yeah, I got mixed nuts Got mixed nuts Like everyone's open their stockings like oh what'd you get I got some soap I got some deodorant I got mixed nuts Good answer though Steve, honestly What about those wasabi's the wasabi almonds? What about those wasabi's, the wasabi almonds? Wasabi peas, Jake knows about that. Yeah, why do, oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, Scott and I went to the gas station and Phoenix at 11 p.m. and I don't know, I'm pigging out.

I'm getting like normal late night stuff. I got like a Coke Zero and a donut, stuff I never get, but it's guilty pleasure. Scott's like, I'm gonna do the same thing wasabi peas You're wild man try coffee and then have some wasabi peas Scott do you have mixed nuts or do you have anything else? I had a couple I had it's not a sexy pick but fruit fruit I had peanut butter toast

And then this one is a new snack for me, but I cannot stop eating that's a new food for me They are the extra crunchy bold cheddar cheese. It's oh extra crunchy dude Picture like a cheese. It is good and then I never realized how much better a cheese It would be if it was just crunchier and they put this little flavor dusting on it, it's They're they're really good. Okay, good

You put like two, you put like a half gallon of water in it usually. Well, it's gotta be so sweet. Just start chipping it out of there with a spoon. It's so good. That sounds awesome. Lemonade too. That would be tart. Yes, that would be tart. Um, okay. I'll

give it a whirl sometime Yeah, maybe that'll be our next bonding moment And then I also had cookie dough, which I just picked Cookie dough is good, but any any form of the cookie is good. Yeah Jesus and then little Debbie Christmas trees seasonal pick. Hmm. I love those things. It's good Oh, sorry smuckers Christmas trees Yeah hostess is hostess one of your things Scotty So I can I can endorse hostess stuff

How long sorry to be a trach any how long we've been going? An hour 15 as of now great I Got it. I got a I promise to go see his last or two weeks ago And I forgot to do it last week. I have a little gift-giving guide for anybody who's interested in oh Yeah, I didn't contribute to this. That's great. It's Brad Brad's gift-giving guide. I probably lost the note anyway. That's crazy. You did great I've never lost a note before like this is so confusing to me. I don't lose anything much less something did you sometimes? You're probably not as stupid as me, but there was one time

I couldn't find it and it was because I was on the wrong tab on the left. Yeah. But whatever. Hey, start a good smores. All right, I'm going to, since I missed last week, we're gonna, eh, no, we're not gonna breeze through them. I'll do one every week, or one category every week. Oh, fun.

So this week's category is consumables, AKA if you're like, hey, this guy's already got everything. What do I get the guy that has everything or the woman or whoever. So these are things that they can accept and use and not feel like they're just adding more clutter to their house. I think this is great for, yeah, a lot of father in laws out there. So I know in advance that some of these are just like pretty obvious or not super exciting, but that's Brad's list for you.

So first and foremost, just anything and everything that we've ever sponsored, that's consumable. Okay. So strong, specifically so strong, good ranchers and Main Street. So strong, makes great bars. Totally. Catherine literally put them on her Christmas list this year because she loves their bars so much. I love the bites, dude.

Those bites are nice. I'm not a mom though. Kids love the bites. I think Catherine loves the bites too. I think she likes the single serving. Like this is my bar. Good ranchers meat. No one's going to be sad to get meat, especially when it's frozen.

Cause then it's boom, you're good. Get them a subscription. Good ranchers, Mace Roasters coffee. Who dislikes coffee? Wait, somebody does. Get them a subscription. Good ranchers. Mace roasters coffee. Who dislikes coffee? Wait, somebody does. They're stupid anyway. So just don't even celebrate Christmas with them. Don't give me that. Mentioned this one earlier in the episode, Melissa McCarthy shout out those quinoa cookies. I can't figure out the name again of them, but they are unbelievable. They're like 60 calories, good ingredients, and they're undercover is what they're called.

Dark chocolate sea salt cookies, insane. They're called, they say quinoa, don't be afraid out there if you're not a quinoa. I even tried them and I liked them. Yeah, Jake likes them, so you're good. I don't remember when I wrote this down, but I guess it's a good idea because you can always use more of it

Chapstick who knows maybe this was on the way back from South Dakota when my lips were chapped I used to be loyal to soft lips. Yeah, I remember that I now find myself loyal to Nivea Very nice. Oh like kind of like the teal green mine's like gold. It's actually the shape of a shotgun shell I almost loaded my gun with my chapstick last weekend I mean, it's like the exact shape. Yeah Okay. Yeah. Yeah, Nivea. I've heard good things. Okay rising. I I just think it's one of those things It's like oh more chapstick, but like if you don't have it you are desperate for it great and take a to pack It's nice to have yeah one in the car one in your pocket of your coat, you know, wherever never hurts to have more chapstick. Um, another one, uh,

friends of ours, uh, Calvin and Molly Beck have a company called continue good. Can I say that I started writing up a little list. Yes. Continue good. It's, uh, they do awesome work where, uh, when you order a candle from them, uh, a portion of the proceeds goes to a charity. Um, they'll, they'll say it on the website. It changes periodically. So continue good candles. Awesome. Make great candles, smell great. All these different fun themed candles and they're solid Christian people. Another one. If you're a little bit struggling financially and chapstick is just a little bit too, whoa, whoa, whoa, homemade granola. Oh, there you

go. I've never done it, but I I I would be excited if somebody did it for me Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Oh Mixed nut. I got mixed nuts. I mix nuts mixed nuts with brown sugar and some other stuff. Yes, absolutely Yeah, so homemade granola another another just hey, let's just be practical and it's also thoughtful I think if you if someone gives you something that they made, hey, let's just be practical. And it's also thoughtful. I think if you, if someone gives you something that they made, it is very exciting and sweet. And you get the people think about you and they eat it, whatever.

Another one, this is not really pertinent to me, but Catherine's family loves these. And after last weekend, maybe I'll need them too. I don't know. Ammo, people love, when we do white elephants with her family, it's like the ammo gets passed around, dude. It's like, I'll take that ammo. I'll take that ammo. People always seem to like getting ammo.

If you're into that kind of world, get some ammo for somebody. Next one we got, this is another guy that I am friends with. Debrand is the name of that chocolate, really high-end chocolate. Dude, I've been coming up with my own list. Oh really?

And you're nailing all of them. I'm sorry, you could be a joke. You're doing great. I'll just say whatever's left over. DeBrand chocolate is like, so my friend Nathan is one of the guys who works there and smaller, but like pretty substantial company for Fort Wayne, Indiana, but just like gourmet

chocolates. I mean, not like I can't afford this gourmet, but like you taste it. It's like, this is different than, you know, whatever Mars bars. Yeah. Whatever. So all sorts of different things from truffles to boxes of chocolate. Anyway, they've sent us some stuff and it's very nice. A couple more here, consumables, a massage coupon. There you go. I think people will use that and either, I mean, it's, it's going to be a blessing no matter what. It's a little bit higher end of a gift, but people will be so excited when they use it. It'll be a blessing to them, whatever stage of life, whatever they're going through. It's like,

great, I get a massage today. And then last but not least, but kind of least, not truly, but Redmond Relyte, I've talked about that electrolyte drink that I drink it every single morning. I really enjoy it a lot. It's just kind of like a Gatorade-esque powder, you know, drink that you, but it gives you electrolytes and it's good for you, good ingredients. So, yeah, those are my consumable gifts. Okay. Add to it. I have a few left over that I can think of. One, getting it like an already like coffee lover, like syrups.

Oh, fun. Or I guess a latte lover. Maybe someone is not drinking black coffee, but get them like some fun like syrups. Yeah, that's cool. Even if they already have some, they probably would like more of them. Oh, fun. Or I guess a latte lover. Maybe someone is not drinking black coffee, but get them some fun syrups. Yeah, that's cool. Even if they already have some, they probably would like more of them. And that's another thing that, yeah, if money's tight,

make your own syrup. Figure it out. I bet that'd be a fun thing to do. I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to whatever. I don't know. Yeah, concoct yourself. Something like local, like honey or jam. Oh, yeah. Find it from, buy it from the local Amish. Sure. Something like local, like honey or jam.

You know, find it from, buy it from the local Amish. Anything already in like a non-FDA approved jar. Artisanal. Yeah, that's a fun gift. Oh yeah, I got this down at the market. Absolutely. It's raspberry. It's got a story behind it.

And the last thing I could think of is golf balls. Golf balls are always good. Those are consumable. Yes, they really are. Yeah. You're like, I don't know where I got. Yes, they really are. You're gonna lose them. Yeah. You're like, I don't know where I got these balls, but I lost two of them already, so.

Yeah, if it's someone you're close enough with, you can do like, find a website that lets you customize your golf balls. And it's kind of an inside joke. That is fun. I gave my dad golf balls with my shirtless uncle on him. He only uses those when he's by himself. He's only using those when he's

putting. Yeah, then we'll lose him. That's amazing. He's like I just got to aim for his nipples here. So yeah that's the gift guide for this week. Next week a little preview for you is luxury in the everyday. Great category. Luxury in the everyday. So we'll come at you with some more next week. But let me know if you have any questions on any of those. But those are some good ones. Fun. Okay, shall we wrap this episode up?

Let's do it, man. Do our reviews of the week. Yeah, while I pull mine up here, I just want to say it's so yeah, Monday night football is going on right now. I think I'm about to get kicked out of one of the guillotine leagues dang. It's it's close I needed Derek Henry to break his leg before the game started and looks like he did it Okay, looks like he's playing looks like he's doing just fine. I simultaneously needed Zay flowers to Break some records break legs and neither one of those things are happening, but I'm monitoring it.

Have you been looking for a pot that encourages you to buy American meat and beans roasted on main streets? Well, this is the right one for you. This pot has become such a great part of my commute

to work on Mondays and Wednesdays. It even influenced me to name my son Bo after Brad's son because of all the fun stories. Wow. I feel like Jake is with me always as I smell Diva laundry soap on my clothes, not in a creepy way. I tell people the scent is called Triplet by Jake. Wow. This is a great pod for clean fun and comedy.

When evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known you from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling down the avenue Oh, there's nothing that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love The The storms are raging on the rosy, and on the highway of regret. No winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me I can make you happy, make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you to make you feel my love. Wow, Tymon, that was so good. That guy's got a future. I loved the part in the middle.
