I don't think I've told the story before. Happy Wednesday, ghosties. This is a story of a friend of mine. They have some chickens that live here in Kansas City and they're raccoons getting involved. They don't like that. Coons in the coop. Yeah.

Dude, that reminds me. Have you seen the interview of Xavier LeGette? You know that is the Carolina panther, spider-ceiver? Have you heard him talk ever before? Crazy, just like accent. Like he's just super, super like hillbilly, redneck. You would never expect it. Hearing him pronounce asparagus, he's like, asparagus.

You can't even, you need subtitles. Anyway, he was on someone's podcast, already getting off track, and they're like, do you have any like hot takes about food or food you really like or really dislike? And he's like, I've eaten them raccoons. They're like, what? They're like, what'd you say?

It's Amon Ross St. Brown and his brother. Like Aquarius or whatever his name is. And they were like, say that again. He's like, yeah, I eat raccoons. I'm like, how do you eat raccoons? He's like, well, you on them, scan them, cook them. And they're like, well, when's the last time you had one? And he's like, thank you. He just had a raccoon, cook them. And they're like, well, when's the last time you had one? And he's like, thank you.

He just had a raccoon, NFL player. Anyway, Sam is trying to get rid of his raccoons. And I think he like, looks it up, like you can't just like, he's trying to do it the proper way, humane way. Like he doesn't want to just kill them, but you also can't just like throw them out. Like they have to be moved, I think like 15 miles away.

Or else they will find their way back. I think I've talked about this on the podcast. Yeah, cause we had that raccoon problem for a while. Yes, and I think you asked me, like what do I do with these raccoons? 30 miles I heard, something crazy like that. Okay, I was aiming low. I'm not driving 30 miles.

Well, my friend Sam did. He was like, I want to get rid of these raccoons. So, I mean, actually I think it was like probably at least 20 miles. So he drove all the way to Lee's Summit. He lives on the Kansas side. So he drives 30 minutes and just goes to like a park. He's like, I don't know, middle of the day.

Yeah. Just all these raccoons in the back of his truck. I mean, they had- All these? Yeah, yeah, multiple raccoons. Really? He trapped them. Wow. And he's like, I guess I'll just let them out here.

I don't know. Let's them out. I was like, all right, I did it, I guess I'll just let him out here. I don't know. Lets him out. I was like, all right, I did it, I guess. Like problem solved, drive back home, puts in reverse, runs over the raccoon. He could have just done that in his backyard. They didn't move? I don't know.

I don't know if they scurried. I don't remember going over a speed bump on the way in here. No way. I, I tell everyone that's where I can't believe I haven't told the podcast. I think it's so funny. He told me like two months ago and I find ways to work it in a conversation. Dude, I was, I was thinking like the, the end of that story. Like, so he drove like, yeah, 20 miles and they found this really good pond and just

let them free. And turns out raccoons don't know how to swim. Oh, exactly. Same idea. Yeah, let them out at just this nice park in the middle of the day. It was like, can't believe I'm doing this. What am I doing?

And I think ran him over and was like, wow, now what am I doing? Did you just leave him there? Yeah, I guess so. I don't know what he did. Mommy, can we go on the slide? Yeah, we're gonna scoop up this raccoon first, though, dear. Uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means

that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat. Two Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost from the Spark Can. Ghost from the Spark Can. Every Monday morning, we're taking grand baths from the Spark Can. That's hilarious. So Catherine told me a story last night. She's like, I've never told you the story of my grandma and the monkey.

And I was like, no. And apparently like Catherine's grandma does not think this story is funny. And I'm like, objectively, the story is hilarious. Like whether or not it was funny at the time or not, I understand. Catherine's grandma, not a big animal lover, lived, you know, grew up like they are, they're West Texas, like middle of no state in Texas near like Odessa area. And she was getting, uh, her young boy, this was a long time ago.

This when Catherine's dad was a young elementary school kid, taking her boys to school one morning opens up the door to walk into the garage and there's a monkey in their garage. That's a funny story right there in of itself. How the monkey is going crazy. Like, yeah, apparently like, as like, you know, like jumping from shelf to shelf, like throwing things on the ground has like, you know, has excrement, you know, on the ground or whatever. Like all these different. Yeah. Yeah. Like the, but do you walk in, there's a bunch of monkeys everywhere. He's going bananas. He's literally, yeah. Going ape. Yeah. And like, but she just tells it like to this day,

you know, she's 80 years old. I don't know how old she's. She still does not think it's funny, apparently. And I'm like, that is objectively hilarious. What's the rest of the story? The monkey like abuser or something? Maybe that's what she thinks is funny. No, I think she, no, she went inside, she called her husband and her husband figured

it out and got, got the monkey out of there. Apparently, I mean, it's in West Texas. Like you're, yeah, how? There's not a wild monkey out there. Apparently, I mean, it's in West Texas. Like you're, there's not a wild monkey out there. Apparently what happened was it, one of the neighbors had this monkey as a pet or something, monkey got loose. Their garage door was open, monkey scurried on in there. And then at night or whatever, they shut the garage door. The monkey was still in there when they shut it. Sneaky monkey. I mean, I understand in the moment you walk into your garage,

like if there's a monkey in that room right there, I'd be terrified. Yeah. We've talked about this being in a room with like a, what do you say about? Fill in the blank. Yeah. Fill in the blank. Murder, deer.

It's just scary. Like you're not expecting it. But then once, once like 60 years have passed, that's hilarious. Like if I walked into my house right now and there's a lion in my house, I'd poop my pants. But later on, that's a funny story to tell. I can't wait to tell you. If we live to tell that story. Yeah, lion would be rough.

Monkey would be rough. All rough. I've told you about that pet store down the road kind of near McLean's that has a monkey inside of it. Apparently, Catherine read on the Shawnee Post, they're doing a demonstration to try to get the monkey out on Saturday. They're like, they're like protesting and I get them like free to get them free. And I kind of want to, I don't want to go and just see what kind of clientele is really caring about this monkey getting out or go

and stand up for, you know, anti monkey rights, stand up for him, stand there and being kind of part of the, this has helped their family get food on the table. Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah, it's inhumane for them to not earn money on their business. The capitalist.

Yeah, that's what's wrong with it. So. Wow, monkey in the garage. Never had that happen. I hope to someday. I can't believe Sam, Sam must just have a really good heart though. I know, I couldn't believe.

I'm driving all the way out here. That took an hour. Yeah, I was like, that's so nice of you. I'm gonna relocate the raccoons. But we went on a double date with them this past weekend and I was telling him, I was like, dude, I tell everyone the raccoon story. I think it's so good. Another kind of funny moment from that,

which is a little more, you had to be there, but imagine with me guys. So Sam works in like digital marketing, does Facebook ads, Google ads, whatever. And so knowing that Black Friday is such a big time for all these small businesses and everything, I asked Sam like, how was Black Friday for you? And I think Rachel and Ashland

are in their own conversation about midway through, they stop and start listening to Sam's story. Rachel does not know what Sam does for a living. So all she hears Sam say is like, yeah, you know, Black Friday was great. You know, a lot of these brands nowadays, they do four big sales a year. Like they do Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day,

and then Black Friday. And so saw a lot of spend go up and yada yada. Basically Rachel's over here just thinking like, does Sam have like a problem? Like how much is he spending on Black Friday? Because it just sounds exactly like, like he's like, oh yeah, this, so this was Labor Day this year.

This was this dinner. This was Black Friday. And yeah, we were just like laughing so hard or just like, wow, you shop a lot, Sam. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, Labor Day, 4th of July. just like, wow, you shop a lot, Sam. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, Labor Day, 4th of July. Well, only four times a year really do I shop. But when I do, I go really high.

Yeah, spend went way up this year just across the board. Cost per click was great. I mean, I didn't charge myself much. Cost per click. I was very efficient on my browsing. Yeah, click through rate was good. Sometimes I didn't watch the whole ad. I would just buy it.

But yeah, sales funnel. I mean, probably 80%, 80% of the websites I went to I bet I bought something So anyway, that was fun. Just talking to a digital marketer about their Black Friday. That's kind of funny Just like oh you sell the stuff. Yeah. Oh All right, you don't have a problem then How often do you feel like when you're on a double date or just like, whatever, hanging out, guy and girl, do you have those like, like you try, you try so hard to be like, we're all in one conversation, but then it just all, it's just so tempting to like, just have two conversations going. Is that relatable? We went probably 70, 30, 70% everyone, 30%. Let's talk a little business.

Yeah. There's a few times where it's like, like I've tried to, I'm not convicted, but like I want to be better at like, if we have 10 people over for dinner, we're having one conversation with everybody. But it's so easy. You're at one of the ends of the table, just be like, make a quick joke about that thing

that they're talking about. And then just all of a sudden, just the two of you are talking. Yeah, they bring up raccoons. You see Xavier Ligette talking about eating raccoons. It's amazing clip, let me show it to you. Every time my parents come over, it eventually is like my dad and I talking about one thing,

and my mom and Catherine talking about books they're reading or something like that. And it's like, I wanna know what my mom was reading. Whatever, I wanna learn these things. I love the one big convo. I mean, almost anything, the hunting trip, we're all together, family Thanksgiving, it was great. I forgot to even talk about it last week,

but we had our family dinner in our dining room, which is next to a piano. Yeah, I grew up with a piano, Timon. And anyway, Uncle John was like, you want me to replay something? Like, yes, please. And it was, what's that? Da-da-da-da, da- da da da da da. The entertainer?

Yeah. Yeah. He got like 60% of the notes, right? While we had Thanksgiving, it was great. 60%. 60% is a little on the edge of not enough. Yeah, he's like, I learned like 20 years ago. That's almost half rung.

Yeah, it's failing. Tyman didn't know you could play piano. Oh yeah, not a lot, but I can like, basic chords I can do. Yeah, I'm opening the room. Also didn't know Bob could play piano. Oh, yeah, not not a lot, but I can like basic chords. I can do yeah I'm open. Yeah, also didn't know Bob Dylan was the original singer of that song. Yeah, I Thought that's an Adele song to me. Yeah, I think she made it like probably the most There's so many covers of it though Like I've seen Billy Joel does it like a lot of people but yeah Bob Dylan wrote it Yeah, there's time and just playing piano just singing singing Dylan apparently. It was great Dylan wrote it. Yeah, there's time and just playing piano, just singing, singing Dylan, apparently.

It was great. People loved it. Yeah. Yeah. So you can, you're more like that kind of piano player. Can you read music and stuff? I, if you asked me five years ago, I can read music a lot better. I just haven't for so long. I can still like, the reading music practice I get is just singing like in choir can like, I can sight sing pretty well. Sure. But reading for a piano is like,'s I've lost it yeah yeah but I

can still do it if you give me enough time but not that okay okay how do you words and stuff yeah how do you determine what you want to get better at because like you're not in school anymore yeah well college kind of but you like you do still take voice lessons yeah so how did what came to what made you make that decision? Like I still want to improve my voice good question, but I don't want to like learn how to read music or Acting lessons. I don't think yeah, maybe voice lessons just sounded Maybe it's like I've I kind of been there and done that with the piano thing and like although I'd want to get better Voice just sounded more fun. I guess maybe it was just I wanted to do it was more you enjoy singing more than you enjoy

I think yeah, and I knew. Maybe it was just, I wanted to do it was more. You enjoy singing more than you enjoy yourself. Yeah, and I knew Dr. Smith was really good. Dr. Smith. Yeah, doctor. Lady doctor? What's that? Lady? Nope.

Man doctor? Yep, Christopher Smith, yeah, he's great. He works at my church? Yes. True, yeah. How do you feel timing, sorry, it's changing gears now. Heard you got a new car. Yes. Speaking of changing gears. Oh my gosh. Pretty much. So my cousin drives, drove, I should say a Hyundai. Okay. Which Hyundai and Kia kind of parent, you know, whatever siblings parked in a not so great spot in Kansas City and absolutely got it stolen because it got hot wired and everything.

So all those things you're saying. The dealer said Hyundai, Kia, and then second is Hyundai, I think, for stealing stuff. Well, I'm sure you wouldn't necessarily love this, but on a scale of one to 10, how would you feel about me playing a game where maybe I could,

can I see if I could hot wire your car sometime? Oh, like it's not like a, Hey, give me, let me, let me unlock your car. But like, if I can somehow figure it out, did your cousin have a actual ignition or push to start? I think it was a actual. Yeah. I think that's how they get stolen. It's not even hot wiring. Okay. Whatever. I mean, say like, yeah, just like you try to drive my car away. Yeah. I think it'd be a fun game. Like, yeah. I mean, as long as you don't know, I wouldn't like cut wires or anything at all. That would be interesting. But I think it'd be kind of a fun, like, would you report me for a crime or would you call me for like, like your cars,

you walk outside, your car is missing. Yeah. The first thing you would do, I just want to have an agreement with you of like, okay, maybe that was Brad before I call. I don't want to get arrested for this, but I think it'd be kind of fun to, hey, maybe that is a fun game. I have time and location. Yeah. I have to not expect it. Like you see, I've been someone for a while. You're like, okay, he's not going to leave. I'm going to go hot wire his car right now. You have the push to start. No. Oh sweet Yeah, you can be I know it's very great a hundred percent susceptible That's what I'm saying. We gotta we have a location. Let's burglarize the guy

Harry and Marv over here. Yeah. Oh we gotta yeah, I'm gonna get if I walk out for a parking lot My car's gone. I'm gonna get excited They did it. The boys were here. They did it. I'm gonna get excited. I think it'd be so fun. It's like modern-day assassins, you know? Yeah. Oh, this is great. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean, probably one YouTube video and it's easy. We'll learn how to do it. Yeah. One YouTube short. Probably. Yeah. Use the hanger trick to get down in there. Yep. Because, you know, I'm not saying you have to keep it on lock. I'm not saying don't do a darn thing.

No, we can get in on our own. Yeah, those things, you put them in like the slot and you, it creates a little gap, go in, hanger, we're in. I paid somebody 50 bucks one time to come unlock my shop door that was like that. And he just used that thing. I was like, dang, I saw one of those at Home Depot the next day. It was like 20 bucks. I paid a guy to do it in your

driveway that one time. He did the exact same thing. Really? Yeah. It doesn't feel like you have to be certified to do that. No, he's using like a kid's blow up inflatable pool floating. He just has to have permission to do it. I guess. Yeah. Before it's illegal as my consent to right. Have you ever locked a kid in a car? No. Okay, it's happened once. Well, not unintentional, everyone's, whatever. I shouldn't indict myself.

There's like times, like the car's running and I just need to go grab a pole inside so I lock my kids in. That's the nice thing about the, whatever, the keys that are not ignitions is that I can lock the car and take the key with me so no one can drive it but no one can get in either. Yeah. Does that make sense? I would definitely do that. Yeah. I don't think you feel bad about that. I think technically it's climate control. Technically it's not okay. Like anything climate

controlled you can leave your kids in storage units, basements, attics. Attics are real climate control. As long as are real climate control. As long as it's climate control. OK, climate controlled attic. Yeah, not any attic. Yeah, that's good. But yeah, because I got a couple in AC storage a while ago. Yeah, I think it was like Joe and Jonas was probably two or three. I think he even wasn't yet like unbuckled from his car seat.

And somehow, like everyone had left our like van and it got locked with the keys inside. So I don't know. I don't remember any details of how it happened. But it was just sad, like, two hours of him crying in there. Oh, wow. And, like, waiting for AAA to come, like, because we had no spare keys. It was sad.

But then, yeah, they got the thing in there, blew it up, got him out. Wow. Yeah. That's a long time ago. What was the, like, the temperature? Uh. Must not have been too bad. I was going to say, at a certain point,

you break the glass. Yeah, I don't think it was too. It was not bad enough to, like, break in ourselves. Yeah, you're also on the window, like, stop crying. 70 degrees out. You're literally comfortable in there. I wish I were in your situation. Take a nap.

Enjoy this. Honest question, how many times do you think it would take you to break the glass if you tried to punch it? I think those things are strong. You have to get one of those like special tools. I would never try to use, I would not, I would not try to use my fist.

I would break, I think I would break my fist. Yeah. Before the glass would break. I don't think I could. Really? I don't think so. My first body part of choice would be the elbow wrapped in a t-shirt. More than foot? I would try to get my foot up there. More than foot? Yes. Really?

Your elbow? My first... Dude, you're not getting nearly enough force with that elbow to do anything. I don't go down, I go side to side. Doesn't matter. Foot? Oh, I'm swinging my foot up there with, I mean, with a shoe on. No way. It, it's not gonna hurt. I've been to a- And you have the best chance of breaking it. Okay, how much can you squat? I've been to a kickboxing class. How much can you elbow? You go to a kickboxing class and they say, right kick!

And you're like, I'm barely moving this thing. They need to teach me how to kick, I guess, because it doesn't, like, I'm moving it more with my fist than I am with my foot. Yes, your legs are stronger than your arms, but with how high up it is, I mean, you have to like- Oh, dude. do you jump and then is this van? Is this, or is this car? I think either way, I was imagining a higher up somewhat.

If it's my truck, I don't know if I could kick, kick worth the darn up there. I'd have to, I have to like get up on like the, like the running boards and get up there. But yeah, I'm coming around a foot a little bit, but still. Especially if you, I mean your elbow, that would hurt so bad. Elbow would hurt so bad. Elbow is so sensitive. And I think a foot is stronger and would hurt less. Cause you're thinking shoe is on and you hit it like with the base of your foot, like you go into the-

Yeah, you have a shoe on. Yeah, but you're going like this and saying- Anywhere on my foot. I'm saying the bottom part of your foot, or your bottom part of your shoe, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like you're not kicking it like a soccer ball If I had to I might try like it would still hurt less than elbow

I feel like with a good shoe on top of your foot. Well, I don't know what I would never top foot I would never top foot. I Would try the elbow Okay foot so it's not even a matter of like Like how many times it's like can we even do it? Yeah, I would not trust my fist to break through a car window Yeah, I also wouldn't go body part to start. I would like take a sharp rock. Oh, yeah Oh a sharp rock. I think way better chance that that would be like the first option and then if nothing's around then you go body parts elbow foot

Fist sharp rocks a good idea because I've seen the way they actually break in, and it's like this little bitty tool that's like super, super sharp. And they just like, it's going crazy in San Francisco right now. They just, a quick little tap and they're in. Yeah, they just tap it. What do you mean? It's like this really sharp tool.

I'm guessing they made that somewhere strong. They tap it and then what do they do? Like what's the next step? They tap it, it shatters, and then they hit it, and then like, break it. Okay. But yeah, because you have to like You know give it enough force to where it like spider webs or whatever. Yeah, and then you're good. Yeah

Little tiny rock. Okay. We should try that on time. It's car too. If now Yeah, well, that's the thing is like you promise you wouldn't call the cops no matter what we did, right? Yeah, well, that's the thing is like you promise you wouldn't go to cops no matter what we did, right? I'm gonna go incognito windows. No one thinks anything What tool to break car glass not to break into a car just to break the glass? Car window breaker. Oh, wow. That's what it's called on Amazon six dollars It was on Prime's get pretty good if I needed to get into a car, maybe just Amazon Prime it really quickly. Car window breaker reminds me, I've seen advertised seatbelt silencer and it's just like a thing

you just stick in there. See, no, seatbelt alarm silencer. Instead of actually buckling your seatbelt, you just stick the thing in there, which is just kind of a funny concept. It was like seatbelt alarm silencer and bottle opener, like all in one. Why you don't want either of those things if you're driving. Yeah, that's so funny. Dude, I bet like the farmers of the world, Steve Koops of the world, I bet they love

those things. That's a good point. You're driving around the country. You don't need your seatbelt on every time you're in there. Yeah, because I thought that it was like more so the context I saw was more of like a meme, I think. Oh, I see. Just because that's like a funny idea.

Yeah. But yeah, for like just hopping in and driving across the field, right? Yeah, yeah, or like, yeah Well, yeah, I was gonna say my like my kids like Hattie's big enough to where like the Seatbelt alarm goes off on her in the front seat. Sometimes it's like we're driving in the middle nowhere. Yep You good? It's like looking at time and just looking good. Anyway, I'm, I'm, I don't know, I'm kind of intrigued to try to steal a car.

You know, I wanted to be timid. Yeah, go for it. I might get a taste for it and actually get it right. Now you've tasted it. Yeah. You like it. Did you, did you go through a phase in high school of like pranking people in their cars? Uh, I think it's coming to mind. Did you go through a phase in high school of like pranking people in their cars?

I think it's coming to mind. I did a few times, but it was never, it was never like in good faith. It was like always like, they kind of made me mad by what they did with my car, so I'm gonna get them back. What kind of pranks? I'm trying to remember exactly what we did. There was one time- Post-it note your car. Somebody posted note in my car.

Yeah, I think that was the, oh, somebody did like Vaseline on my handles or something like that. Yeah, I think somebody did a shaving cream in my vents. I think people maybe just hated you. Did you just have a lot of enemies? I think there was like, they did the stuff on the windows. I was like you suck like you're doing urine in your gas tank. It like ruins your transmission wasn't urine Yeah Yeah, those are all good pranks. It was like this is not fun I don't know if all those were mine, but like definitely like people did those to me and my friends that like

Definitely like people did those to me and my friends that like... Steal your tires. Scott had like, he had glasses, but then he had to have glasses on top of those glasses. And they just made fun of that a lot. How'd they make fun of him? They said, hey, eight eyes. Yeah. Actually, I'm kind of remembering that high school was kind of a hard time. I don't know.

You never went through that time? Not that I can know. Okay. My teachers would do a prank on me where they would like give me bad grades at the end of the year. And like pretty often like send me to like the principal's office and like in school suspension. me to like the principal's office like in school suspension

It's like a prank. They would do it even like when I moved schools I don't know how the old teachers told the new teachers, but it was like a continuous pretty just doing Yeah, so I got pretty bad grades the whole time. I guess a prank. Did you prank him back ever? I did I brought a gun to school. Did you really? Yeah, did that get him? I should stop. Rachel's... Rachel, Rachel.

You're so like, you have a conscience now. I should, Rachel's... I think, yeah, not just being with a woman, but being with a woman who is the counselor for elementary school. Oh, man.

Really enjoyed it, made some pancakes on it recently, made some tacos, other things, fajitas, fun times. You know me, love me a smokeless fire pit. I thought that was going to be on your list. Yes. One of my favorite things in the world is a fire pit, making a fire, starting to enjoy it more and more like alongside of my kids, which is really fun. Smokeless fire pit.

Next, simple but effective wireless charger. Wireless charger. Okay? It's nice to have. You don't have to worry about the fuss of the cords and everything else. Oh, the fuss. The fuss.

You charge your phone with it? Yes. Where at? Like night stand? Yes. Okay. But they have, I mean, they have so many cool ones these days. You can do phone plus watch plus AirPods, all the things.

Nice. I'll use it for my AirPods as well. It sits up. Mine sits up so I can watch something. Holy cow. I know. It's wild. A leather bag.

I love, I have a specific leather bag from John Kander, great sponsor of ours, Leather Goods Company. And, but any leather bag is just a nice thing to have. Nice, like adult manly thing to have. I recently got into electric toothbrush, my Sonicare. Great gift. So ticklish. Is it? Oh, I can't. Yeah, I can't. Really? I've tried 20 times. Have you really? Tickles me. Yeah. Electric toothbrush is the same effect as like warming up your voice with like a blub blub blub blub. It just makes your nose itch. Yeah. You get used to it. A few more here.

A Buck pocket knife. Buck is the brand. Pocket knife though. It's nice to have. I've never thought I was a pocket knife guy. I still don't like carry one all the time, but I have one always in my truck and I use it way more often than you would imagine.

I have that with the box cutter. Yeah. I use it all the time. Yeah. Wouldn't have thought. Same idea. Magic bullet. Love idea. Magic Bullet. Love me a Magic Bullet.

I make protein shakes in it almost every day. Super affordable, just little personalized things. It's fun because with kids and stuff, they can all make their own little smoothies and stuff. And they all have their own cups. You don't have to like pour it into the cups from the smoothie thing. So love me a Magic bullet. Uh, pizza oven. My uni pizza oven is so awesome. If you've

never done like a propane powered pizza oven, it's just so awesome and fun. And it literally makes pizzas in one minute. So that's really fun. Wow. That's quick. Yeah. It's the setup and put it all together and stuff does take a while. But then once it's actually time to cook, fun times. A few more of my favorite things. I have read some books this year, which is different than normal. Four different books that I loved. Three of them are nonfiction. They are The Intentional Father by John Tyson, Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmore

Early. And then also I just finished up Made for People by Justin Early as well. So good. And then there's a fiction book, Early Tales of Snow and Okum. Just a really good coming of age book. These two young boys written by this Canna Cuck guy. So it's got all these Canna Cuck parallels in it.

It's really cool. A cup holder expander. Watch out. It just helps you put your bigger, like I have a Yeti water bottle. Can put it in the, it just helps fit different size cup holders. And then row back. Oh, yeah.

I'm wearing row back all the time. Just whether it's pants, top, both, vest, yeah, you know, I'm wearing row back all the time. Yeah, just whether it's pants top both Vest whatever GRKC 20 for a nice little discount on row back But just as high quality really comfortable gear for fitness or just for every day. So Those are my favorite things. That's fun I can't think of a single thing that I haven't, like the you can't already predict me saying on this. Well, just say it, say it to consolidate.

Diva detergent. Yes. So good. So great. Friday Pickleball just came out with bags and apparel. Okay. So if you already have paddles, new stuff to buy. What else was I gonna say?

Ty, have you got anything? I'm not thinking of much of anything. What else was I gonna say? Tyman, you got anything? I'm not thinking much of anything. We think of your Gram merch. You like that? It looks good on camera today. Thanks. Yeah, I like it.

Accidentally sent me two. Thanks, Gram. Sweet. I like, they've been a sponsor, QP goat soap, but any kind of goat soap, I really like how that feels. Using a bar of soap for your head. I'm a bar of soap guy. I would have never thought.

I love the way it feels. Absolutely. That was one of my favorite things. Socks over sweatpants, running a mile every day. Work gloves. Fun wife, deer skin gloves. Oh, I do like bubblers. I love bubblers.

Only 69 milligrams of caffeine, so not too much. Just a little pick me up. Little hold me over. That's funny, I wouldn't know what is a lot, what is a little bit, like 69 milligrams sounds like a lot to me. It's right in the middle. I think a...

Like what's Coca-Cola? Like what's a can of Pop-Hab? Oh, probably around there. But most energy drinks are like 200. And that's where you feel a little crazy. Monkey in a garage. That's why it's a little too much, okay. Yeah, I don't know what a can of soda pop has

or even like a cup of coffee. I bet a cup of coffee is like 200. Yeah, okay. What was it? Oh, I had something to say about, oh, speaking of drinks, I had a ghostie reach out to me about some of your habits. Brad, she's worried about you. Okay.

Can I read you this text? Reach out to you, not me? Well, I'm good friends with her from, she texted me. To Brad, I don't want to burst your bubble. I was listening to the episode hearing you talk about the electrolyte drink, which is great, but she's worried that maybe you shouldn't be starting your day with it.

Talk to me. She says, like, if you're not working out and sweating for 45 minutes or more, then it's adding unnecessary salt to the body. Okay. It increases fluid intake into the bloodstream and can increase blood pressure and throw off your fluid balance. It's the equivalent of dousing your food in salt, basically.

Okay. Now, I shouldn't start with it unless I'm, I am, I am normally working out to strong word, but I'm normally going like an hour long walk after I drink it. We'll take that Kylie. Yeah, we left out information to confuse you on purpose. Yeah. She's also a dietician in training. So aren't we all? I was kidding. Kidding Kylie. Interesting though.

No, that's great. I appreciate her looking out. Yeah, I think, yeah, she's trying to help, but. I have not been very consistent with her recently, but I do enjoy taking it. So. I love it too. I just think, yeah, she's trying to help, but. I have not been very consistent with it recently, but I do enjoy taking it. So. I love it too. I just think in general, like so often we just need more water and more electrolytes in our body.

I think that we're just, that's, that's often, we don't need more caffeine necessarily. We need more of that stuff. I don't know much about anything. Granted, I am a dietitian in training, but my theory is like, if you have too much of something, your body will just pee it out. When it's salt, bring it on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When it's sugar. No, no matter what it is. Oh, just in general. Yeah. Fat, dairy, carbs, flush it out and just pee out that fat. Yeah. And just pee.

That's why it's called waste. Yep. That's good, Jake. So, so Kylie, let us know if that's true too. Let us know if that's true too. Let us know if there are any flaws in anything there. But yeah, always appreciate you guys looking out. Yeah, I really do. That's interesting. I'll think about that. There were people looking out for me.

They thought I pronounced hokas as hokas on purpose. That was a joke. But I do appreciate you thinking maybe he doesn't know how it works. Just in case. Just in case, Jake's never made a joke before. We've always, people are gonna be like, like last episode I think we said mandolin

instead of mandible. Do they really think it's mandolin? Like no, we don't, of course not. Good point. You know, like we made jokes. It's so funny. Like with, when we were doing more jeans short stuff, like I remember, especially when we started,

you and Trey had obviously done it a lot more than I had. I remember being like, we don't need to spell out the joke like that. And you guys were like, you'd be surprised. Yeah, like you kind of need to. Cause it takes away from the art. We wouldn't, yeah, spell the joke and people would be like, you'd be surprised. Yeah, like you kind of need to. Cause it takes away from the art. We wouldn't, yeah, spell the joke and people would be like,

do you realize he said that wrong or something? It's like, that's a joke. It's a comedy channel. You follow this for comedy, right? We had 10 different jokes in a row. That was the joke of that little part. It's, I'm seeing it a lot with making pickleball content cause it's such a niche audience anyway. I don't know if they're necessarily comedy fans but they making pickleball content because it's such a niche audience anyway.

I don't know if they're necessarily comedy fans, but they like pickleball content. So it's like, it's a lot of their first, it feels like it's their first time going to a comedy show. And then they see all these videos like, what's he saying? I wouldn't do that on the court. It's like, oh gosh, this is infuriating.

Just move along. Why even comment if you don't get something? Imagine if I commented, I don't get it on it every video I ever saw Imagine just commenting on I just like all that. Yeah, I've done. Yeah Yeah, not even like a fan. You're not even a fan of it. Uh, just got shown this video. Don't really get it

Don't really understand why it has so many views Thank You Cheryl. Thanks. Thank you, Cheryl. Thanks, thank you. I will keep that in mind. Appreciate it. I've found myself commenting on stuff more recently. Oh boy, negatively? I don't think mostly negatively.

I try not to just throw out a negative comment for no reason. Okay, good. That's really the issue. What kind of stuff are we talking? I honestly don't, I don't know. If I see it's been posted recently and I just have like a random thought I think of, like, well, I'll just, I'll write it down.

Oh, I see. Yeah. That makes sense. Like something I felt, I don't know, like I can't really think of specifics. Like I follow some just like thing that posts like movie trailers or something like that. I was like, so this is my recommended today. It was like unsettling or whatever. And then I got, I was like, okay, yeah, I don't know. Just sometimes I'll throw my thoughts out there.

You're adding to the commentary. Yeah. Online discourse. Someone say, do you want to do s'mores? Yes. Brad, you won last week with the Christmas songs. I didn't. I really didn't. No, you did not. I felt good about it. Apparently people were saying that Joy of the World's not a Christmas song. Hot take. Why do they say it's not? And why do they say it is?

Which one would you like to be? Either. I think they're saying it's more like the second coming of Christ. Oh, it's futuristic. Joy of the World, the Lord has come. Yeah, I agree. I think it works for both Joy to the world. The Lord has come. Yeah. I agree. I think it works for both though. Like I don't, I have no problem with it being sung at Christmas

and stuff, but it is less of a Christmas song in my opinion. Yeah. I understood once they said, I was like, okay, but I'm, I'm still vibing. Oh yeah. I still, I still get pumped about joy of the world, the savior reigns. Oh, give me all of it. Okay, so this week we're doing a very contentious one. I just want to, let's just start off right now and just say, let's just promise each other we're not going to fight. This could get nasty. Okay, time.

And, uh, I won last week. So I'm going to, I'm going to go time in. You're not giving yourself the first pick? I'm being nice to Timon. Great. Because Timon's gonna fall for it. Timon's gonna take the bait. I'm gonna go Timon, Brad, Jake.

Great. So these are the Schmoors of Reindeer, Timon. Yeah. Okay. Is this Santa's Reindeer or just of Re reindeer? Go ahead, Timon. Oh no. Shmoor's of reindeer. What do you have up your sleeve? I have to go with Rudolph first. Yeah, good pick. I had him number one of my list. Yeah. I think, cause I was thinking, oh, maybe that's the obvious pick, but I looked at the lyrics of the song. I'm like, he, he's just a great,

he doesn't seem like a pride,ful guy. Yeah, he just like Stuck through it and got got like the reward for being loyal I like Rudolph because he's brown and a little red reminds me of Patrick Mahomes. Yeah Yeah, Rudolph first, yeah, he was my one one he was he was the top top pick. Yeah Arguments against Rudolph. I did make notes on every single one of these. Okay. Kind of like a draft board. Kind of like a... Injury prone. I numbered them in order. So I already know exactly who I'm picking next.

It says he's the most famous reindeer of all. You know who else is famous? Hitler. Please? Who else? He also does have Hitler's first name like mostly in his name Not to go not great not to advocate against my own pick. Yeah, where do you think where do you think it is from? Right off Hitler Dolph. Yeah. Yeah. He's the most famous reindeer of all Not the most love reindeer of all

The reindeer loved him, you know else's love by men. Is he seeking the approval of man? Or is he seeking his friend? You know else's red? Who? Satan. He's, he'll go down in history. Think about it.

Yeah. He'll go down in history. So. You guys both looked at the the song. I should have thought about the only for Rudolph. That's the only one you get any any information on. All right. Good first pick time.

I watched a documentary on Prancer. It was longer than needed to be. All right. Time and says Rudolph Brad. My first pick is going to be Dasher. Of course Dasher Dasher is legitimately going to be my first pick is going to be Dasher. Of course. Dasher, Dasher. It was legitimately going to be my first pick. That's annoying. Okay. Well, for that's really annoying, bro. We promised we wouldn't get mad at each other.

It's hard. I know. I know. Just fight through it. No rumor has it that Dasher, that if without him, Santa wouldn't even be able to get the status, wouldn't be even be able to get to the Americas until December 27th every year. Yeah, he's kind of the horse by it's kind of the torque. He is 100. He's he's the lightning Yeah, he's he's the dash. He's fast. He's what makes it possible Everyone's like it's not scientifically possible to do all that. It wouldn't be without Dasher. Yeah, he led to the incredible stash I think he's kind of yeah dash Dasher Rudolph Adolf. Yeah, who would you pick? Yeah, he led to the incredible stash. I think he's kind of yeah dash Dasher Rudolph Adolf. Yeah, who would you pick? Yeah, so I Was gonna say Dasher was lower on my list

I thought he was like he's just always been salty and kind of he's always in a bad mood because he was replaced by Rudolph you think at the top you think he's in a bad mood you think he's humbly taking his spot I could see that it's kind of a little blood. So kind of thing like I had the team just fine I think he brings it up way more than he needs to. Like, well, I don't think he does. I don't think he does. He brings it up a lot. You know, yeah. And then Rudolph came in, slip into conversation. Like we get it. Dasher. Like, yeah. I think company Christmas parties. If you understood the role that Dasher played in the Rudolph team, he should be the only

one anybody's talking about. I said reindeer Rudolph. I meant reindeer. Silly. All right, Jake, your first pick. Third pick of the draft. First one for me is going to go to Comet. Okay, sure.

Comet, I mean, Comets, I mean, in general, very beautiful, very rare, very bright, things you want in a reindeer leading the charge for your sleigh. I mean, Comet really takes on the personality of the entire workforce itself up in the sky, streaking through the sky, delivering joy at the speed of light. Comet is really the one, he's kind of the unsung hero.

He's kind of your fullback you forget about. Your point guard, you know, with a lot of the assists, none of the points. Okay. Your role player. Yeah, that's Comet. But heck of a role player. That's good.

I had some notes on Comet. I said he doesn't put work into his practice. He's not a practice guy, but come game time, he's an elite performer. He's one of those guys. It's just like, he's not a, he's not a workaholic. He's not a workhorse. He's just, he's, but he's ready to go. And he's, he's one of the best. My next pick is a real, just meat and potatoes reindeer. Don't you pick up. I think we all know where I'm going with this one. This guy, I mean, just gets it done. What do you need coach?

Hey, you say jump, I say on who? I say on what roof? That goes to Blitzen. No! Dang it! Dang it dude. Blitzen is just... He was my number three. He was, yeah.

Yeah, that's, I can't believe I got him in the second round. Blitzen's just great. He'll do whatever you need him to do. He'll take the bullet, he'll take the grenade, He'll take the coal. He used to go get her. Yeah. Yep. That's absolutely right. I use number three on my board. I'm sad to miss him, but I also didn't expect to get him at this point. So yeah, he's the, I, he's the thunder to Dasher's lightning. He's kind of the captain of the ship. So that's good. All right. My second pick is going to be dancer. Dancer is one of those guys.

I don't, I don't know. Have you seen the evolution of dance timing? I know. Have you seen Andy Bernard do it with no music? Yeah. Dancer is one of those guys. He has evolved over time. I mean, he's not stayed the same.

He is, he's understood that, you know, in order to continue to be the best, you have to continue to change with the times. And that's Dancer for you. He can do the old school way. He can do the waltz. He can do the salsa, but he's also crumping. He's also-

Really? You think? Oh my gosh, you haven't seen it? No, I haven't seen it. Look at, look up. Look up reindeer dancer, crump, Christmas Eve dubstep. Um, oh, I spell crump crump. Okay. KR crump Christmas Eve dubstep Christmas dubstep. Um, reindeer dance. The 2011 version is by far the best. Ukrainian 2011. Ukraine 2011. It's wild. Wow.

Tommy, can you put it on the screen? Crump is with a K. Yeah. Good pick. Thanks. Okay. I gotta go with Donner next. Yikes. No, I love Donner. Do you? He's like he's kind of awkward to start a

condo with a conversation with at the very beginning, but he's like the funniest out of all of them. Like, really? Yeah. Donner will just he'll like he's a little bit in the background, but he'll throw in just like the funniest one liner every once in a while. And he's just like he's just a team player. I love Donner. I probably shouldn't hold this against him, but Donner just reminds me of the Donner party,

which were, is that people who I think they all just like died in the winter. You met the Donner party. They were like, uh, Oregon trail type, like, you know, hunting as they go and couldn't handle the winter. They just could. Yeah. They don't seem like they would be built for Santa's sleigh. Yeah. That doesn't seem like they would be built for saying a sleigh. Yeah. That doesn't sound like the kind of guy I want. But hey, what if they were making jokes? Would that help them stay alive? Ten more minutes.

Maybe barely. Donner. Yeah. So, so time is about humor on his team. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And I'm going to say another, like another kind of a little bit weird but fun is Cupid.

I think Cupid he he takes he like he's naked most of the time. But but he's like he's got this. Yeah, I don't know. He's just a fun guy to hang around and he he's like up in the front of the reindeer from from what I've seen. And he's also just a solid team player. So you got Adolf, Donner and Stupid in the team so far? Is that right? Adolf, Donner and Stupid.

We're all avoiding the obvious ones. Gonna make me pick it, huh? No, I'm picking Vixen right away. Wow. The harlot of the crew? You really went with Vixen. Vixen was my number six. Vixen right away. Wow. Oh yeah. The harlot of the crew? No, excuse me. You really went with Vixen. Vixen was my number six.

Vixen was six on my list. Oh, I was going to go like one of the unchosen ones over Vixen. Oh, no way. No, she brings, it's a she. She brings the wow factor, the pizzazz to the crew. She... Yeah, cause she's inviting boys over.

She was the Rudolph before Rudolph. She was the thing that made Santa's sleigh special. Sleigh. Sleigh. Sleigh Vixen. Yes, dude. But at the same time, she's a, she's a lunch bring your lunch pail to work kind of person.

That's not the Vixen I knew in high school. Well, you'd be surprised. Vixen I knew in high school, we would let her on a roof. I'd bring her, bring a hard hat if you're seeing Vixen. Lunch pail surprised. Vixen in high school, we would let her on our roof. I'd bring her up, bring a hard hat if you're seeing Vixen. Lunch pail. Prime Vixen. Prime Vixen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it was a problem. Yeah. Sorry. All right. Vixen. Oh yeah. 100%. I'm not even, I'm so pumped I got Vixen in the third round.

No way. That's going to lose you the vote right there. I'm a little, I think this one's still available and I like it, Prancer. Yeah, it's still available for a reason. It's not as bad as Vixen. Oh no. It's not as bad as Vixen.

Stop, it was the non-contentious s'mores. Prancer, I see Prancer as kind of the Aphrodite of the reindeer, okay Thoughts questions remind me who Aphrodite is Oh the beautiful one. Okay, just kind of But in just like a nice way not like this rose printer is a guy though in What what version of the of Santa's Bible are you read? People thought printer was a guy in like the 80s. Yeah, yeah.

Santa came down and said, no, it's a lady Prancer. Why do they call him Prancer? Her name is Prancer, just lying on her feet, very beautiful, is like, you know, not quite, like dancer is like, this is my full-time thing, like I'm dancer, Prancer's like, I could do it, but I'm like, well-rounded, like I don't, this is my full-time thing. Like I'm dancer, prancer's like, I could do it, but I'm like well-rounded. Like I don't need to make it my whole like personality.

Gotcha. Even a dance, I'll dance. Even a prance, of course, easy. What do you need? Okay. Very good. That's fine. Cute girl.

Yeah. And then your fourth pick. And then my fourth pick, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go Blunder. No way. Yeah, I mean, obviously he didn't make the cut for like the first nine, just cause he does make a lot of Blunders.

Yeah. But he's like a good kid and like, I get why he didn't make the cut, but at the same time, like one reindeer goes down, that's the first guy I'm bringing up. Blunder, he's got good parents, he's got a good heart. He'll do anything for you. From my experience, he's a little awkward, but he means well, he's the first guy I'm bringing up. Blunder Eco, he's got good parents, he's got a good heart. He'll do anything for you. From my experience, he's a little awkward,

but he means well, he's just a sweetheart. Yeah, it's not really his fault. You can't hold it against him. He's a yes man in the best way. I know when we were doing training and Santa was having trouble, he like greased up the chimney for Santa. I thought that was really nice of him.

Didn't get the job, but yeah, good guy. But didn't matter. That's not why he was greasing up the chimney. It's because he was just being a selfless person. Yeah, it turns out he greased it way too much, Santa slid down, broke his tailbone, blunder. But you know, like I said, it means well. What about you?

Yeah, my last pick is gonna be Bambi. Okay. B-A-M-B-E-E. Okay. So the main reason, and it is honestly a value pick at number four here, but the main reason people are not, you know, picking him, you don't know about him is because there's this other deer named Bambi already in the world. Like you think of Bambi, you don't think of Bambi, you think of Bambi.

And then they're like, well, is there anything else we can call you? Because you have all the intangibles to be a reindeer. And they're like, yeah, they also call me the great Bambino. And they're like, shoot. 1920s roll around. That's Babe Ruth. Yeah, you're done. It's out of here.

So we haven't heard of them. But the people back in the 1800s, they'll know Bambi was the best. Incredible reindeer. You know Bambi and Dasher and Dancer and Prancer. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's like completely different back in the day. So yeah, never got the respect they deserved. Voting. Let's hope so.

Yeah. Or people that know their history. Yep. So Bambi. All right, time and final pick. I think we all kind of know the kind of the last one left. Yeah. And I wouldn't even say that. I think we all kind of know that kind of the last one left. Yeah.

Yeah. I, and I wouldn't even say that it's like the bottom of the barrel. Like, I think my next pick is, is solid. So I have to go with shimmer. Oh, shimmer. So shimmer kind of like a standout, um, kind of a star, but just was a little too, a little much for the team. Yeah.

Uh, like he made it through the first, like three rounds of auditions, I think for like the song, but just got barely edged out by Comet. Yeah, and comments bright Yeah, but he has like he still has good talent. He has he does like a one thing everyone loves He does like a Santa impression. It's really good And yeah, Shimmer is just a fun a fun guy Yeah, sure solid guy, but you can't I, you can't have a team with two quarterbacks. Can't have a religion with two popes. They didn't want to outshine. Yeah. You can't have Rudolph and Shimmer. Yep. You got to make your pick. Shimmer's nose is like golden.

Yeah. It's like we can't have two special noses. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Be a laughing stock.

in the way they act that they're like twins. I have Martin. Bob buttons. Okay. Believe it or not, I was looking at the list just earlier. There's a reindeer from back in the day called Knack Baxter. Really? Yeah.

This is kind of off the wall one. That's why I didn't pick it. But Beethoven the dog. There's a reindeer from back in the day called Knack Baxter. Really? Yeah. This is kind of an off the wall one. That's why I didn't pick it. But Beethoven the dog. Oh, yeah. I had that one on my own remittance. After he was done doing like Beethoven's fourth, you know, like on the movies.

They put him up there. Yeah. It's kind of a sad career for him. Didn't end great. Tore his ACL and they just kind of put him in the woodshed. But yeah, I thought about it. He was just kind of a downer. I didn't.

Yeah. I took him off my list. And then Terry, the kid, Terrell. Just a solid pick, but not worthy of a Schmores. Yeah. The only one we haven't said yet, I had Snacker. Snacker is great, obviously, but just like, can't stop. Can't stop.

He's trying to get out of the chimney. He wants those cookies. And it's just a problem. You got to re-hook them to the sleigh and you know, just like personality higher. He doesn't make the top nine. Well Santa's not gonna like if somebody's taking away their snacks. Exactly, yeah.

I mean, it's just, they butt heads. Right. Yeah. I had bashful. Yeah. Yeah. The dwarf. I had sneezy.

The dwarf? No, reindeer. Oh, okay. Happy, sleepy. That's it. Doc? No. No Doc. No.

Never heard of that reindeer. Yeah. No, we're doing Reindeer. I just had these four. I don't know who Doc is. Oh, never heard of that. That's great. Well, that's been Schmores.

Reindeer Schmores. Good idea. Reindeer Schmores, yeah. Oh, good times, man. I'm ready to steal your car. Can't wait. I'm so excited. I've been going to the chiropractor a few times this past week. Oh, what for?

Back's been bothering me. And the first day I got, so there's a chiropractor, there's people that we know from a church, he's a chiropractor in Olathe. So I went down there and the first day he like adjusts me, he's like, there's a chiropractor, there's people that we know from a church. He's a chiropractor in Olathe. So I went down there and he, the first day, like he like adjusts me. He's like, Oh Brad, like this is, I feel so bad for you. Oh Brad. And for whatever, like, how do you think, how do you, how would you feel if somebody like, if your back is hurting and then somebody feels it and says they feel bad

for you, how do you think? It's like when I was told that like redheads have higher pain tolerance. It's like, that's right. It's like, yeah, poor me. Yeah, I've been living with that. No problem. Please fix it though. Yeah.

But hey, good for me. I was willing to put up with it. I was, I was like thankful. Like if he was like, oh yeah, I could see why maybe you would feel a little. Maybe a little tiny baby not back here. And like, dang it. I was like, oh Brad.

Yeah, you are, oh my gosh. I was like, Oh Brad, yeah, you are. Oh my gosh. I, I feel so sorry for you. It just was like, so affirming of like, Oh, thank you. Not, not that I ever was like, you know, just if it hurts at all, I should probably try to fix something about myself, but it's like, well, yeah, good. This is like a real thing that I, this is worth me like trying to fix it kind of thing.

So yeah, I don't know. But like I, I had gone to the chiropractor, you know, our kids go to the chiropractor sometimes. And so is Catherine. It's like this, but it's like this woman, like Catherine's age and Catherine's size. Is this woman, she like lives in a tree? Is that the one you go see?

No, well, not anymore, not in the winter. I know, I was thinking of Dr. On. Dr. On. I was thinking of my guy. Dr. in the winter. I was thinking of Dr. On. Dr. On. I was thinking of my guy. Dr. On the tree. No, yeah, just like, but she, this girl, like she would try to adjust me and I'm like, you're too small to adjust me.

This guy does just fine. He's shoving me around. He's got Donner's hooves. Yeah, and it feels awesome to get popped like that. Like I should try this. Yeah, it's worth it. He's got Donner's hooves. Yeah. For hands. And it feels awesome to get popped like that. I should try this. Yeah. It's worth it. It's great.

I should. Just recently, my back's been hurting. It feels kind of just like the sleep type hurt. Like I'll also go away in a couple days. But also if it could be top golf, I don't know. Maybe. But hey, if it doesn't go away in a couple days, excuse to go to the chiropractor.

Yeah. Win-win for me. I had just been feeling it a lot in the morning, specifically waking up. and I'm like, this is not, it's not going away. Like that's what, yeah. Like every once in a while I have back problems, but it's like, no, it's been like a month now

of like being pretty like bothered by this. Like holding Henry and being like, oh, I can't hold him very long. The back is the worst. Yeah. Driving you crazy things. Yeah. You want to tell your backstory?

No, I forget you're pretty bricked right now, but Luigi. Really? Yeah, had that chronic back issues and they say he went crazy. You're talking about Luigi Luigi? Mario's brother? Yeah.

Did he really? All those times going down the plumbing pipes, I mean, he'll do a number on you. Really? Not cushioned. He's landing on his feet every time. All those times going down the plumbing pipes. I mean, they'll do a number on you. Really? Cushioned. He's landing on his feet every time. You know, the force that has on your vertebrae over and over and over.

I can imagine. Yeah, he went nuts. What did he do? You think about it. Mario has Peach, who does Luigi have? His chiropractor. Yeah. Yeah, that'll drive you nuts.

So I can't look it up. Just give me like, don't spell it out, but just kind of. It gets graphic. I just. In terms of fruit. Can we do that? Luigi, the Mario character,

his back pain drove him so insane that he assassinated the head of Grapefruit. What? It's as simple as I can make it. And it's for sure him. That's what I read. I don't know. It's not an AI, it's not.

I don't know. Luigi. No. That's why you never, I mean, yeah, you hear never meet your heroes. I feel like I've met him a million times on that screen. It's just not good enough. Is Kirby okay? Kirby's doing great. Okay good. Yeah. He's one of those guys it's just like that guy would never hurt a fly. Because when he hit the ground remember

he would turn himself into a brick and he hit the ground so he's fine. Bricked. Rock solid. That's why you go brick. That's why you brick. Yep. Yep. Wow. Chiropractor. It's amazing what you miss just being bricked for a few days. Yeah, that all happened recently. That's wild, dude. Gosh. Ah, it's okay. That's okay. The more you're bricked, the more this could be fun.

Where like every week, Tyman and I present to you like two truths and a lie, like news stories. Yeah, that is fun. Like, do you feel like you know stuff that has happened? Can you think of anything off top of your head? Yeah, let's think. This is so hard on the fly. Just like

news stories. I mean, I mainly see sports stories. But even that I Like I know about Bill Belichick UNC job UNC job. Yeah. Yeah. I thought you said you oh you and see job talk about that Now who is which one is C job the UNC job? Yeah, I didn't know about Belichick Oh you and see job talk about that. Now, which one is C job? The UNC job. Yeah, I didn't know about that. Oh, UNC job, talk about it in the meantime. Okay, all right, I have at least one.

Okay. I can't think of anything. I need to think of another one and at least make it like one truth and a lie. Okay. Okay, okay, this is tough to do on the fly here. Just Google what happened this week. Okay, I've got two out of the fly here. Just Google what happened this week. Okay, I've got two out of three.

All right, let's do this. All right, option one. Michael Vick was seen walking pit bulls and rottweilers in his neighborhood and his neighbors are freaking out and they're trying to figure out if this is allowed or not. Okay. Option two. How many, do you have any idea how many there are?

I think it was like three or four. Wow. They're not an insane amount, but if like, yeah, it's Mike Vick, so like. Yeah. Oh. Sure. Option two.

The guy who had the old SAC record, like 20 years later, confronted Brett Favre and said he's still mad at him for giving Michael Strahan a free sack. Yeah. Option three, Larry Fitzgerald, senior, incorrectly said to everyone that Randy Moss has liver cancer.

Whoa. And now everyone's really mad at him. Okay. I have seen a few like quick snippets about the Brett Favre thing. So I know it's true. It's insane. It's crazy.

Yes. And I saw that he apologized or something. Brett Favre was handling it really well. For a guy who sold millions of dollars on the Mississippi Welfare Fund, seems like a great guy. You know what? I think that guy's figured it out. I bet it was an accident.

It was his interpreter. It was the Otani issue. I have been bricked, but I do get a daily email from the athletic that's like the pulse. And so it just has, but I did not see anything about Larry Fitzgerald or Mike Vick.

Okay, so you got a 50-50 shot. I also don't read it every single day, but I read it yesterday or today because of the North Carolina stuff. Did you see the video of that guy? I mean, he's like, he came in like 20 years of rage, just like, Brett Favre has no idea who he is, I think. So he just goes out to shake his hand.

He doesn't shake his hand. He's like, no, I'm mad at you. Oh, they talked about it. It was like in person they had this competition. Yeah, it was like it's some Packers memorabilia signing thing. I don't know. And Brett Farr is like, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. He's like, you did hurt me. You still hurt me. I'll be honest. I didn't even recognize that name. Do you know the name? I kind of remember the name yet. Gastineau, but yeah, I didn't know even then. I mean, the record's been tied since then. Records are going to be broken. Especially now that it's 17 games. Yeah.

Okay, my other record, my other, I think the Mike Vick thing's a lie. That's my guess. That is correct. Okay. Tough to take a one on the spot. But that is crazy about the Larry Fitzgerald thing too. I had no idea Larry Fitzgerald's dad was like a guy

in the media or just a person at all. I didn't know Larry Fitzgerald was a junior. Did you know that? I thought he was just Larry Fitzgerald. I think so too. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't know he Fitzgerald was a junior. Did you know that? I thought he was just Larry Fitzgerald. I think so too. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't know he had a junior on the, does he have a junior on Back to the Jersey?

I've just never known him as a junior. No, I don't think so. Turns out there's a scene. And I guess he's kind of a reporter or something. And anyway, cause it was reported that like Randy Moss is stepping away from ESPN. No one really knew why. And Larry Fitzgerald was like, just talk to a guy, I'm pretty sure it's liver cancer.

And everyone else was like, dude, that's not even right. Why would you say that? You're not the one to break a story about cancer, shut up. Yeah, these days it's just about who gets there first, not who's right always. And it's like- Yeah, it was a bad look. His son had to be like, dad, chill, like on Twitter.

Which is like, hey, let's just respect our privacy. Calm down. Bad look. That's crazy, hey, let's just respect their privacy. Calm down. Bad look. That's crazy. Yeah. I had not heard that. I had not known much details about the Brett Favre thing. So if you have any other in the future, I mean, I would love to make this a segment

because that means that I was successfully like it'd be motivation to me because it really is like, it's just been good for me to not Been be as consumed with that stuff just noise. I think that's what it is Yeah, boys like it gets in the way of my own thinking in my own like Like I spent like literally like an hour at lifetime the other day and I literally I put my phone in my car And it was like like that's like revolutionary to me. Yeah, it's like I can just I can stay I can do this You know and like in that hour, I had so many thoughts and so many ideas and so many like, I'm gonna do this with my family.

I'm gonna do this with my friends, like all these different things. It's just like, I need to do this more often, you know? So anyway, but I don't know how feasible it is to do it forever. That's good though. Yeah. Next thing you know, you're reading the paper,

reading the classifieds. Fun, well, if I remember, I'll bring some more news stories next week. All right, cool. See if you've heard about them. We don't talk about this too much. There's no real reason to get super excited right now, but Friday Pickleball is in the process

of making a pitch to be in Target. Wow. Kind of fun. It's like fun, like we have a broker who's gonna like introduce us to like the buying, the buyer at Sporting goes at Target. Wow. Kind of fun. It's like fun. Like we have a broker who's going to like introduce us to like the buying, the buyer at Sporting goes to Target. Cool. And so I was like, this is kind of fun to like prepare like a deck and like, I'm like collecting all this data

and anecdotal evidence and just, yeah, it's kind of fun. They're good target paddles too. I feel like they really fit in Target. Yeah. So. So what's the process? I think it's like, I'm guessing a very long process, but right now we have like a broker

who is kind of the middleman and he knows the buyer for sporting goods at Target. So they're like, I think we'll present them with essentially just like a PDF, just like here's like a deck of just like who we are, what we do, why we're different. And then, yeah, it's gonna be really interesting. I mean, whether it works or not, I think it's just interesting to learn like, what does Target require? What

do they need? Like, do they want an exclusive design? Do they just want our normal designs? Do they need a certain amount of paddles in our inventory before they make a deal? Do they, how many would they buy initially? Like, I don't know. It'd be fun to learn all this. Yeah. Does that, is that how it works? Like they just buy it straight up for a wholesale price or is it like? Yeah, I think so. Like you just make all that money immediately. It's not like if we sell them, then you get more for this.

I think they buy them upfront. So we would get like a ton of money at once. And then if it's going well, then they put in a second order. Cause yeah. Your partners have done stuff with Target before. Yes. Okay. Or actually I don't think Target, but stuff with Target before. Yes. Okay.

Or actually I don't think Target, but other big box retailers. Gotcha. No, maybe it is Target. I don't know. That's what I thought. Yeah, maybe I think you're right. I think you're right.

It was Target. Anyway. I've never been wrong. But every, you know, sporting goods is different than other stuff. So, you know, it's interesting. It'll be cool to see and. Keep us updated.

Yeah, I think they buy it from us for a certain price and then, or you get the term MSRP is like what we suggest. Just sell for. Fun. That's kind of cool. That's great. Fun little update, see if anything happens. Other things with Pickleball, this Saturday,

so can't really invite you guys to it because it's already out. It's already happened by the time this is out, but I asked Rachel to compete in a pickleball tournament for the sake of content. So Zach's gonna film it and Rachel's gonna play in a pickleball tournament. Like can my wife win her first pickleball tournament

with zero training? Oh, just her not with you? It's gonna be with Molly Beck. So like women's doubles. Okay, cool. Yeah, really excited for that. And then found out that they, like men's doubles is after that and they've got a bunch of teams now.

So Isaac and I are gonna play right afterwards. Big Saturday coming up. What's it called? Where is it played? Where you guys play? Oh, SW19. SW19. Where it's going down.

Okay. And yeah, I hope we get some good content. And yeah, I helped incentivize Rachel to do it. I was like, I'll buy you like a fun, like kind of like skirt, like pickleball, like skirt if you do it. She's like, all right, I'm in. And then I forget what she gets if she wins too,

but it's like she's eight years old where I'm like having to get her to play sports. I'll take you out to the Golden Corral. You have to try hard. You can't just take the skirt. Like if you try hard, I'll get corral. You have to try hard. You can't just take the skirt. Like if you try hard, I'll get you something else. Get a little bit upfront, a little bit after. Yep. So she's excited.

Got to miss time in there. He's got to be young Jesus that day. So I won't be there, but Zach's going to film. Big weekend. Yeah. All around. What are you doing this week? Zach's not young Jesus. Hey, I'm young Jesus.

Hey, it's me. Yeah, they call me young Jesus. Yeah, I was just looking at, not a whole lot we're doing on Saturday. There's a church, like children's thing called Very Merry Morning. So we're going to that. It's like they do like some crafts and stuff like that. But Datter days, Saturdays, chilling should be good.

And there's more Christmas stuff. Yeah, going to Pol Express tomorrow for, and it's like, it's at the IMAX in Union Station. And so like, I think I'll take them from there to, Fritz is probably at Union Station or at Crown Center. They showed Union Station during the Chiefs game. And I was like, I want to go here. It looks awesome.

At Christmas? I think I, yeah, I forgot. I forgot. I think I've been before, but yeah, it's awesome. I mean, yeah. Union Station anytime is unbelievable, but at Christmas it's beautiful. Oh, it's so fun.

And I think the Polar Express, maybe you should go to Polar Express, honestly. It's like $3 for tickets, something like that. That's crazy. Don't make fun of me for that. Oh my gosh. That's crazy. Wow. $3 for movie IMAX in the new station. $3 for IMAX. I don't know what it is. Yeah. Thank you. I just spent 21. Thank you. So stop it. Okay. I didn't say it. Time and cut it out. Time and quit. Just cause you got Rudolph. Give.healingwaters.org slash PMD match.

Yeah, billions of people in the world, billions with a B, don't have access to clean water, whether it's to eat with, to shower with, to wash your hands with. Clean with. Clean with.

Quick announcement, looking for roommates, and Neil at the house, my sister and Braden moved out. And then I think the same day, maybe the day after, got a text from another roommate there, just said,

hey, I'm moving out today slash tomorrow. I said, okay. I said, that doesn't really give me much of a heads up to find another renter, but I hope everything is okay with the sudden move. Hasn't texted me back, so I don't know what's going on. Good talk. But if you want to live in Kansas City

or already do live in Kansas City, got a house for you. Get to sleep next to Isaac. Same room. One big room. Yeah. One big room. That's how we do it. I'll do, can I do an announcement after this?

Yeah. What do you need? I need a private chef for a Ghost Riders vacation. Oh, private chef Brooks is not able to do it this year. That's a great ask. It's a huge aspect of the vacation. And so basically, you're like, if you're wondering, why haven't they announced it goes to getaway yet?

It's because we don't have that aspect. So it's like, we can't do that without that. So if you're interested, holler at us in any way possible. Instagram DM is probably not preferred right now for me, but you can email us, text me, whatever, all the different things. But yeah, have some kind of credibility. It's not like, Brooks is not like a professional chef. He just knows what he's doing. So yeah, I would say be extremely organized. One, be a chef. Two, yeah. Three, be prepared for me to say yes chef, no chef.

What do you need chef the whole time? We will pay you. All the different things. So, yeah, holler at us. Holler. Tyman, what do you need? Nothing. Good for you, Tyman. Come on. Christmas season, you're giving, you're not receiving. Come on. Yeah, I'm trying to think. Anything I need to... Oh, I had my voice lesson yesterday, my weekly one, and me and Dr. Smith were talking. He was like, you should record an album.

And I could play piano. He's like an amazing pianist. And I was thinking like, I just need to figure out if I were to do that, what would I do? Like I think it'd probably be, if I had to guess, it'd be like Christian, probably like hymns and like songs, like classics, things that I love to sing. But like, I just want like comments of ideas. Okay. Oh yeah. If I did it, I'm going to set aside a lot of time and money. A great idea. That's not, that's outside of that. Just like, let me know what would you

want me to want to hear? Oh, you're going to get a ton of feedback on that. Cause I was thinking like, I want to do a variety, but it's honestly, it's not the greatest idea to be like, this is my album, but it's like this him, and then like Adele and like all, it's like, yeah, I can't, I don't know, or that's like the whole theme of the album. It's like just all over the place. Yeah, quirky. Yeah.

Here's my first thought. Yeah. I would enjoy just like an album of covers. Yeah. With like a clever name, stealing the covers, wearing my coveralls. Under the covers. Under the covers.

Something like that. I'll figure out the album name later. I don't have enough of a songwriting talent. I was thinking maybe it's like a bunch of covers with like one, I try to write one original. That's kind of fun, baby steps. That's good. And they can still, like you could still arrange the covers

how you want to do them. There's obviously some creativity there. Yeah. And with Dr. Smith, he's an arranger himself. Oh, that's cool. Dr. Smith. Yeah. I've been really into piano, like listening to Jim Brickman.

You know Jim Brickman? No. Jay Bick. You know who he is? No. Oh, really? I feel like it's a very big 90s. Maybe just my mom. Big piano guy. Anyway,

great Christmas, a piano album. Great. But I love the idea of just piano and hymns. Like just a nice, like simple. Yeah. Keeping it like, I just don't want to be too crazy. Like with our first attempt to try and make an album or something like that. Sure. That's fun, dude. I would love to make an album of covers. Just a little Adele a little yeah Bob do Bob do Bob do All right. Yeah, let time and know Let a player know Brad you have a win of the week. Oh

Um, I always forget to write them down Um, I always forget to write them down. Um, not necessarily like, yeah, I guess the, the winter, the week is just always just time with my kids, but specifically, uh, we went out, all, all six of us went out to look at Christmas lights. There's a place in the West Shawnee that has like tons and tons of like almost every single house in this neighborhood, like does like a themed Christmas lights thing. Uh, and it was simple. It probably took an hour tops, but the kids loved it. They all got out of their like seat belts, you know, like in their seats, just like we're staring out the window, talking about it, having a blast. Um, so just

time with them and just, just getting to do something like that. And being able to do as this family of six, like so often it's like Catherine goes like Catherine right now is with Hattie at the Nutcracker ballet, but it's like those, those two are by themselves or like, you know, I take Bo and Rosie to go see lights, but it was like all six of us. So that was really sweet. Okay. Tyman, do you have a one of the week? Not specific. Actually. Yeah. just the M&U Christmas concerts. I mentioned it last episode.

It just went great. It was fun to sing with just a big choir orchestra band. It was great. Good. Yeah. Fun. My win of the week, I think is going to be... We were kind of joking about it, but I think like just getting to be here in our house

for like Christmas for the first time, it's just like, it's so cozy every night. We flip on the string lights, we flip on the Christmas lights, we turn all the lights off and we get underneath that giant cozy earth blanket that they sent us, it's insane. It's awesome.

It's just, I can't believe they made something like that. Oh, it's six hours of football on Sunday underneath that thing and it was glorious. So my one of the week is just general coziness with my babe of the week. You've been using the fireplace? No, I keep forgetting that I own it. Dude, I got firewood, come grab some.

I have firewood in the garage too, I just need to light them up. I should surprise Rachel sometime and just have it going. Yes, dude. Yeah. I would fall asleep to that every single night if I were you. Rachel falls asleep on the couch every single night anyway. So I don't know what a fire would even do to her. No, but I'm saying like you can see it from your room. Like you have that like, yeah, that would just the glow of the fire. Oh,

bro. When Catherine was sick a few nights, I slept in the living room and I had a fire going fire going with the Christmas tree on no lights. It was awesome. I want to get it going right now. You fired me up. All right. Well, it will happen. Come on. Great. All right. A comment of the week. Brady, got one? Yes, I have a comment of the week. It's not even, it was from a couple of weeks ago, Kelsey Friend on YouTube. Oh, she's great. Three things in life are certain. She said this after the Pheasant Hunt episode. Number one, death.

Number two, taxes. Number three, when Jake and Brad go on a group trip, they're going to have a blast and make you wish you were there. I love that comment. And I love that you wanted to be there based off of our fun recap of it because it was special. That's fun. I did enjoy that comment too.

My comment comes from the Facebook page, Facebook group. This was posted just a couple hours ago. So I think we've mentioned before, there's an inside joke that someone once posted anonymously that they're expecting another child. And then we're all like, time-incompetent mom, is that you? And then when people post now, everyone thinks it's time when it's pregnant mom.

To take it one step further, someone just posted anonymously in our Facebook page, they said, what do I get from my 18 year old son who has it all for Christmas? He's podcast famous, a gifted singer, and major star in an upcoming Christmas play. A talented videographer and a hit with the ladies. My first thought was a Kia Sportage

and I'd put a giant red bow on it, but would you believe it? He already bought that for himself too. Child prodigies these days, SMH. So I can actually see who wrote that. And it's Ryan Guy. So shout out to you. He is so consistently funny in that Facebook group.

He really is. So consistently, he's always hilarious. Yeah, I feel like if I giggle at something, it's probably Ryan Guy. He's so funny in that Facebook group. He really is. So consistently, he's always hilarious. Yeah, I feel like if I giggle at something, it's probably Ryan Guy. He's so good, yeah. Shout out to you, Ryan, you're always making me laugh. Yep. So yeah, that's great.

That's awesome. Somebody said, I think you should give him another sibling. That was the response. So Ryan Guy, if you have a sibling for timing. Oh, this is great. Someone I think is actually trying to help, which is so sweet. Does he have an ice scraper? Timon's mom comments and says, he bought one for himself. Period. That sounds funny. I was like, I was going to get him one.

That's so funny. She's like I roll emoji, he bought one himself. No, can you believe it? He still had money left over for that. Wait, have you talked about an ice scraper before? Or you just, cause you got your- No, I don't think so. I think it's just random actual, like try to get a gift. That's amazing that your mom's already in on it.

That's so fun. Just love it. What a great crew. Great crew. Good times, good times. Good times. All times. Good times. All right, any closing remarks? Closing remarks.

Yeah, I'll give a closing remark. I really enjoyed this book that I read, Made for People. It kind of, it's talking about basically, I mean, the main one sentence premise is we need friends in our lives, basically, and how important that is and how, yeah, we just need it to be better. And so I'm more motivated than ever right now to like schedule out time with my friends. I think before it was always like- Come over for a fire sometime?

Sure, dude. Can I have the fellows over? Dude, every second Tuesday of every single month, I'm hosting a fire pit night at my house. Tuesday. I missed it. You didn't invite me this month. Every other slap in the face.

Oh, you're in front of you. I can't believe it. Crap. We didn't know. But I love. Yeah. I just, it just like has motivated me of like, and so like, I didn't do this with you, Jake, because I know I see you every week anyway.

But I texted a bunch of my friends, and I was like, listen, once a month, the second Tuesday of every month in the morning is coffee with Scott. Or probably not coffee, because he's LDS. But you know what I'm saying. Third Thursday of every month, Harrison and I are getting together to work out.

Whatever. Oh, cool. Fill in the blank. It doesn't have to be. I was like, I just texted a bunch of my friends, and I was like, I just want to be intentional about meeting with you because I've learned I used to be like, I want flexible time in my schedule to potentially do stuff with my friends. And it's like, well, looking back,

I didn't do as much as I probably would. Yeah, that's a good point. And I took for granted the idea of like, well, my friends will just ask me to hang out all the time. And it's like, that doesn't always happen. And so I need to be more pursuing of them. And like, I don't know. And so anyway, I'm just motivated by that made for people is a great book. Highly recommend it. Yeah.

I just love that author in general. He's just a really good, good guy. So that's my final thoughts are friends are good. Friends are necessary. Not even just like good. It's not like a, it's not like, Oh, if we have time for friends, we should, we should make time. It's like, no, no, no. Like get other things out of your life to make time for friends. You ever see those tick tocks of a, like a friend group will get together and they will

do a PowerPoint on what they actually do for their job. I always think that sounds so fun. I love, I love the idea of like any kind of structured, any like, yeah, even if it's like, Hey, we only get together once a year. And so we all update each other with a PowerPoint. I think it's so fun. Oh, PowerPoint is so funny. Or like, even if it's like, yeah, I love the idea, like with Catherine's family being like, Hey, let's all get together and let's update each other. Like on this trip that we went on and we each get five minutes to whatever. It doesn't have to be a time thing, but yeah, I love that kind of stuff. Yeah. You come back from a trip, you get control of the TV, you airplay photos. Sure. We did that for Grant and Lauren because they were supposed to come to Portugal with us

and they bailed. But we went back to their house and they're like, all right, here's access to the TV. Show us every, like, give us a slideshow. Oh yeah. Great times. It's kind of fun. So yeah, just being more intentional. Because I think there's like this lie in my head of like, well, the more structured, more organized I am, the less spontaneity and flexibility and time I'm going to have for my friends.

It's like, no, like the opposite. Like, I don't know. Like so often I'm like, I'm better when I'm constrained rather than like, I have too much time. So closing remarks. Closing remarks time. So, closing remarks. Closing remarks. Tymon, closing remarks? No.

All right. Thanks, Tymon. Always helpful. Gabe Oliver just texted us that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are in his hospital and it's completely locked down. I was starting to think like, well, what happened? But now I'm starting to think they're just like,

they're just saying hello to kids. Right. Yeah, that was not my first thought. Yeah, PR. Yeah. Kind of thing. All right, not really breaking news. I was like, that's crazy.

He's got a game suit. What happened to her? What's happened to him? Better closing remark than mine though. Really, Travis and Taylor. So Taylor's in town right now. This is Thursday. She's already in town for Sunday's game.

I think it's an away game. She's in town. So she lives here. Holy cow. That's kind of crazy. Hey, there you go. Closing remark. All right, Chiefs fans, that's enough of that.

We'll be back next Monday with another fun episode. Give time and feedback for his album. Give me a roommate. Give Brad... Was it Firewood? I'll take it. What did you need? Private chef. Private chef, that's right. For all of us. Yeah, we all need a private chef. The ghosties need it, so yeah. Let us know. Hey, we love you guys guys we'll see you Monday.
