Merry Christmas, ghosties, to those who partake, those who celebrate, which our metrics tell us is about 15% of you guys, so it's pretty cool. For the rest of them? For the rest of them, happy Wednesday. Yeah. Just a normal Wednesday. We were just joking that it feels like we could say

whatever we want on this episode, because I can't imagine that many people listening on Christmas. But maybe the day's after, maybe, if you're back to work already on a Thursday or Friday, happy Thursday, happy Friday. Yeah. Happy quans, I don't know.

Maybe it's March 19th and you're just catching up. That's a good point. Maybe it's March 19th, 2027 for somebody out there. Who knows? If it is, will you please comment? Yeah, it's pretty cool. What are we up to now? What are we up to now?

Bondi truck's almost up and running. Jake's bald. Yeah, I'm All right, so last week we talked about big daddy's being bricked And just kind of missing out on uh on headlines on news stories. Yep. Um, and so I prepared Another version of kind of two truths and a lie news headlines great this week for you to decipher between so There is a option one a city in Georgia

Declared a state of emergency after one-inch snowfall and called in the National Guard This is oh, that's one of the one of the options, okay option two Man who doesn't know Spanish won a Spanish Scrabble tournament. Oh. That's interesting. Okay. Then option three is a famous flat earther went to Antarctica to test his theories, came back and said I was wrong. Do you know, have you heard of any of these?

Yeah, I've heard of, yeah. Which ones? That was good. Okay. I'm only gonna guess that this is my thought process. I think they all sound reasonably like they could have happened. The Spanish one is hilarious.

But I think that one's true because of how hilarious it is. My guess is the Georgia one only because one is hilarious. And I, but I think that one's true because of how hilarious it is. My guess is the Georgia one only because if it's been like somewhat of a mild past week in Kansas, there's no way that Georgia got snow. That's my guess. Cause if it's like Georgia's warmer than Kansas, probably. So that's my guess. Okay. I don't know if your logic was correct, but you did get the right answer. Um, yeah, I just made that one up. Um, that's a great one though. Yeah. A guy, uh, he just like, I guess he just read the Spanish dictionary and just has a good memory. I guess just like memorize Spanish words, but doesn't know what they mean. Does not put them in a sentence or anything.

Wow. Not fluent Spanish, but he won the Spanish Scrabble tournament. Pretty impressive. I mean, how many Spanish is the is the language I know the most, but like any other language, how many words do I know? Like French, I might know six words. Bonjour. Yep. Jean-Mappel Brad. That's one word I think.

Yeah. J'adore. That was one I put in the list. J'adore, Sanders and Malik neighbors played catch with a football on a street in New York City this week. That's something. I didn't know that. True or false?

Oh, true. Yeah. It was so random. Why is this a news story? Who cares? Because they might draft them. Yeah. I guess.

Yeah. So, oops. Cringe's cringe brought a football? so cringe 17 people taking pictures of what's happening And yeah the flat earther that just happened. I think was that the one you'd seen time I had heard of that. I didn't hear all I heard was someone was like going to try to debunk it or prove themselves Right. Yeah, I didn't hear the evidence or the Magic going all the way there for him. I mean just desolate, you know, yeah terrible

You have to go through that like what's it called that area of the ocean? There's all these tick tocks about it It's like one of the roughest parts of the ocean. No Yeah, it's like the southern tip of South America to Antarctica. Drake's passage. Maybe. Might be what it's called. Can you just imagine like this guy's putting all this time and effort into it. And then he just gets to the horizon with his binoculars,

sees it and just goes, he pulls him down and just goes, ah, crap. Oh, I know I think this type 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 it's the Ghost Brothers podcast. The journey which cost, okay, how much do you think it cost him? Oh, so much more than we think.

Don't go crazy though, this is just one trip, they're in back to Antarctica. Well, the thing that the Titanic thing was a million dollars, wasn't it? Don't expect any kind of number like that. Okay, so I'm guessing, I'm thinking it's like this independent, independent whatever he spent $8,000 okay

Because so offended this is like getting mad at wits and wagers you think there's that many $8,000 slices of pizza eaten per minute in America. Oh my gosh I guess I don't know the depths of how do you have to get there? But I mean the boat I think he gets a connection like this private plane guy for part of it. He He knows people. Okay, he spent no he spent he spent I don't know where he came from but it was 9,000 miles He spent $46,000 Brad is slightly slightly closer, $37,000. Okay, not a million. Oh, from California. Wow.

He was live streaming it. Upon witnessing the sun circle the sky without setting. How's that sentence make sense? Upon witnessing the sun circle the sky without setting. I get it. Upon which- Upon witnessing the sun circle the sky without setting. There needs to be another word in there.

The sun is circling the sky. The sun's circling the sky without setting. But it's not saying, oh, the sun circle the sky. I thought circle was a noun there. The sun circle. Oh, sure, I see. Then you have the sun circle, you have the sky. Yeah.

Without setting. Without setting. The sun circle, you have the sky. Without setting. Without setting. The sun, circle the sky. Campanella confessed to his followers that he had been wrong. Mostly anyway. Sometimes you are wrong in life. I thought there was no 24 hour sun.

In fact, I was pretty sure of it. I'm trying to find the part where he mostly agrees. Whatever. Are you aware or aware? Have you heard of the story? I think the ship is called the Endurance. Haven't heard that. There's a book called Endurance.

I want to read it. It's about I could butcher these details, but I'm pretty sure it's about these guys that are in the Arctic Circle. This and shipwreck or like I think they get stuck. I think their ship literally like it's frozen in the Arctic Circle and shipwreck. I think they get stuck. I think their ship literally gets frozen in the water and this crew of however many people, 30 guys, survive for a long time down there by themselves. I'm very intrigued to know how they do it and how,

I don't know, I didn't know if you'd heard of it. Well, that's kind of neat. No, I haven't heard of it. Time and look up the details. I'm so sorry about that. Something I forgot to mention last Monday's episode is when Tyman and I went to that Chick-fil-A and started off our little video series together

when she didn't accept the paddle, we got back home to feast. And once again, they had given me a honey mustard instead of honey roasted barbecue. Do you remember that? Yep. We couldn't believe it. Because Tyman was like, dude, I heard the way you like enunciated it.

I was gonna say maybe- You spelled it out for him. Yeah. But not enough. Not enough, never enough. Cause since you had recently talked about it, I was like, I'm gonna listen and just like make sure there's no, maybe Jake's accidentally saying something wrong, but it was so clear.

So I think, I think roasted could sound like mustard if you don't enunciate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's definitely like the confusion. But when you say, if you think you heard honey mustard, but then they say honey mustard barbecue, you think, oh, I must have heard that wrong. He clearly meant honey roasted barbecue. Cause they don't give me honey mustard and barbecue.

No. They just give me honey mustard. Maybe some people don't even know that they have this honey roasted barbecue sauce. That's a decent theory. Timon's solution to this was like, you're just going to have to treat them like they're dumb and be like, I would like honey roasted barbecue. Do you know that I don't want honey mustard?

No, I disagree. Don't give me honey mustard. I think the opposite. I think not the opposite, but like you asked for honey roasted barbecue. They give you your bag. You just check right then and there. And then you do the passive thing where you're like, Hey, I think I asked for a honey roasted barbecue and it looks like maybe you gave me honey mustard.

That's my solution is like way more like, ah, maybe this is wrong. It says honey mustard on here. Is that what the honey roasted barbecue is coming in now? Or? I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Hey, I don't know. English is my first language, but still, I don't know.

This is a different word than what I ordered. Yeah, English is my first language. I did win a Spanish Scrabble competition recently, Scrab-Alle. Yeah, but it's just like, just something like that. How do you combat it? You just start wearing Chick-fil-A sauce, really. This is their way of like getting rid of that product.

I think it feels like it takes so long to check your bag after you got out of the drive-through. It takes 10 seconds, but that 10 seconds when you know there are people behind you, it feels so long, but just take 10 seconds. You're right. Rachel jokes that I spend my whole life just trying to get out of people's way.

And so that's one of those areas. I'm like, get hurt. They got stuff behind me. Get out of it. But you're right. Especially Chick-fil-A, when it's humming, it's humming. They're flying around. Yeah, but that's a good word.

Check your bags. Cause it doesn't take that long. It feels like 10 seconds if I just sat silent for 10 seconds right now, you'd think this is a long time. This Christmas, guys, what we ask ladies out there, check your bags. Check your bags. Get your milk bags checked.

I would tell you like airport, like, hey, check your bags. Check your bags. You don't need to carry those on. Yeah, check your bags. Check your bags. So you can like take your time off. Make sure it's under 50 pounds, yeah, hey, check your bags. Check your bags. You don't need to carry those on. Yeah, check your bags. So you can take your time. Make sure it's under 50 pounds. Yeah, no lumps. Lumps could put it over 50 pounds.

Check your bags. Oh my gosh, dude, that's great. You ever feel around and like convince yourself I was a lump. You talking on me or? Yeah, like on bumps. Like you ever like? Yeah.

Not recently, but I have. I know you're, oh, a hundred percent. Yeah, you're like, well, I don't like, I'm not super familiar with the Earth's crust here. I don't have the prototype. I don't have one to compare it to. Yeah, like, I don't have one of those doctors office, you know, models. And trust me, I've tried to buy them. They won't let me.

They're too flimsy. I'm on a list. This purr ball keeps trying to buy the human anatomy guy. Dude, that's so funny. Hey, currently trending in my life, Pokemon. What in the world? What the heck? It's my kids specifically Sam severs children's pastor our church Just out of nowhere was like Bo you like Pokemon

of course bows like Doesn't say a word doesn't even like like no like just looks at him and Sam comes back with like a bunch of packs of Pokemon Cards and how do you and Bo think it's the most fun thing ever to quote unquote play Pokemon. And all they do is it's the silliest game and slash. I mean, Bo just definitely cheats the whole time. Like there's like 20 cards in this deck. And then they just put a pile on there and they just try to guess what the card is on top. And that's how they play Pokemon. They pull it up and they look at it. And if it's right, then they get to keep it.

And if not, they put it down at the bottom. And, but like, they don't always know the real names. And so Bo will be like- Well, that's what I meant. Bo will be like, Black Dog, I told you. It's like, that's not a- It's Bulbasaur. Yeah, that's nothing even close to this.

Yeah. Or he'll be like, that's what I was thinking. I knew it. I knew that was that Squirmy. Yeah, Squirmy. I said Squ be like, that's what I was thinking. I knew it. I knew that was that a squirmy. Yeah, squirmy. I said squirrel, I meant Mewtwo. I meant Mewtwo. They're both slimy little salamanders.

Oh man. So it's just the silliest thing. They love their Pokemon right now. And like none of them are the ones that we knew from growing up. All news. They have Pikachu. That's it though.

Well, good. You gotta have like the star. Yeah. So anyway, and then, you know, once they had those 20, then Bo and I went and played, I went and played basketball at church the other day and I brought Bo with me and just hang out. Yeah.

And he was just kind of like being shy. Literally for like the first 30 minutes, he didn't even sit down. He just stood there off to the side and just watched us. I was like, you can sit down. We brought like his yodo player and some other stickers and stuff. And he's just like, no. And then Sam was like, Bo, you want some more Pokemon cards?

He's like, yeah. And Sam brought him back like 100 more. It's like he has this stash. It's kind of funny. Bo, continuing to watch you, you can go. That same thing happened to me, but with Zach, Tywin's friend this past week, because he was there, Tywin was young Jesus, so he was unavailable.

So Zach filmed the pickleball tournament for us. And so he filmed the girls, and then it's time for me and Isaac to go afterwards. And so our tournament's about to start. We're warming up with some other guys. And we're like, hey, do you just want to play a game to kind of warm up? And Zach starts like filming it.

And so I'm like, oh, the tournament hasn't started. Like, we're just playing around. And he I'm like, oh, the tournament hasn't started. Like we're just playing around. And he like nods, like he hears me, but then he like keeps recording. And he's like right there on the monopod. And so the next time I come back to the baseline, I'm like, maybe he didn't hear me. I'm like, we're just like warming up.

Like you don't have to film this. No problem. And it's like, is he knowing? I'm like, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure. Does he think I'm joking? How do I say it so he knows I'm not joking? I don't know what else to say. Stop putting that in my face.

Like you said something like that. You've got like, we have a buy the first gate. You have like 25 minutes. You can go get lunch or something. Sure. All right. Sure. For you.

Good one, Jake. And then when I asked him for the footage, he sent me that like two and a half minute clip of us just like warming. Yeah, that's important. I was like, I don't know. That's part of it, you know? So let's talk about the tournament.

Tell us about it. So yeah. Can my wife win her first pickleball tournament with zero training? You know, like highlight around your face, so like your body sticks out more. Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out the thumbnail. Josh Mayer had a video that did really well for him. He entered a speed golf tournament with zero training and kind of a like toned down, not

super produced thumbnail. Like, is there something like that? Obviously you got to have Rachel on it. Sure. I don't know what I'm going to do. Yeah, I think I should have my face in it too though. That speed golf video was awesome. It was a great video.

It was pretty cool. Also, I love his title, like was zero training. And then the first 15 minutes of video is him training. That's such a good point with like the winner of the world's best. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. Good for him for going for that. It worked out anyway.

So yeah, show up and it's Rachel and our friend Molly, and they're gonna play in their first pickle tournament. I entered them in women's doubles, 3.5. It's kind of a average-ish, you know, it's decent, not super competitive. And as they get there and they're starting to warm up, just as I'm seeing them warm up versus everyone else, I was kind of like, oh no,

I might've put them in too low of a division. Yeah, because Molly played D1 tennis. Yes. But it's pretty unheard of for you your first pickleball tournament to start at 4-0. No one really does that. You don't wanna, yeah, you'd feel almost worse like being way too good for,

or way too bad for like your division. I would feel bad for Rachel and Molly if I'm like, hey, trust me, I'm gonna entry into this. You're gonna lose 11 to one. Just throw them to the wolves. Yes. But then that first game started and they're just getting wrecked.

I mean, just like zero to two, zero to three, zero to four, one to five, I think it was a score one point. I was like, okay, I didn't put them in the, I didn't put them in too low of a division, that's for sure. And anyway, they just started to figure it out a little bit, came back and won that first game.

And I feel like that was like, I can just tell, like they play such little pickleball that they're only just gonna get better and better throughout the day. So it worked out. They played. Yeah, they were calibrating as they were going. Yeah, it's just like, we don't ever do this.

We have to figure out how to hit every one of these shots. And so anyway, they played five pool play games. They won four out of five, but they lost one game to a team with some, they made their own shirts, thunder and lightning. Okay. Purple shirts. Yeah. And anyway, so they lost to them 11 to two.

How intense were thunder and lightning? Great question, Brad. You always ask the best questions that are like, the perfect setups to like what I'm gonna say anyway. And what about the fireplace? Exactly. Dude, we'll put a pin in that. Yeah.

Your house inspection. Yeah, I was gonna talk. Anyway, so the first game that the girls played them, and Zach would verify this, but they were just like pretty intense. One of the women like apologized to Zach like, you're gonna have to mute this, sorry for all the F bombs. Like she was like, at least somewhat self-aware,

but still like just really intense. Just you could tell certain people like, they don't mess around. Like if someone's a little too close to the court, hey, can we, thank you, thank you. You know, just people. Now granted, I'm the one who brought a cameraman and mic'd up my wife. So that's good realization. I acknowledge that. I didn't think about that. Yeah. But then you look at Rachel and Molly who are just smiling the whole time and they're

not taking it seriously at all. These girls were, they were thunder and lightning. They were so intense. And their shirts said thunder. And their shirts said thunder and lightning. Okay. And so they have very intense first game from these girls, just like super serious. Was thunder a softball player? Yes. And lightning was maybe a soccer player? I would say both softball.

Okay, very good. Thunder and thunder. Yeah, okay. Very good. Good thunder. Good thunder. Yeah. So anyway, then the girls get put in a bracket.

They win the first game, they win the semi-finals, now championship game. Who's on the other side of the net? Thunder and lightning. Ooh. Lost to them 11 to two the first time. Championship game, though, is gonna be one game to 15. Okay.

And so it's neck and neck, it's pretty close. I'd say the girls are holding their own, but it's starting to get like the first girl who had initially apologized for all the F words, now she is kind of like loosening up and being a little more lighthearted. And then her partner is like way too serious, way too intense, like all the body language is like something's up.

I don't know. And they're kind of being a little like nasty. They like, there were times where I think they didn't think that Rachel and Molly knew the score. So they would ask them what the score was. And then they would try to like say the score was like higher than it was. They would try to say they have a higher score.

Like they would basically force Rachel and Molly to correct them. You know what I mean? Like they're like, that's just cheating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just kind of like awkward. Like I've never seen this in a tournament. The one girl getting really upset, just like refused to like smile

or like tap house with a partner. She's getting so intense. And then her partner was like, all right, can I just get a smile? Can you smile? She's like, no. Can I get a smile? Yeah, like we're on their side. So you smile? She's like, no. Can I get a smile?

Yeah, like we're on their side. So we hear all of their like talking a banter, like why is this so intense? This is like awkward how serious she's taking this. Okay, so let's pause real quick. As a people pleaser, were you kind of like, slash maybe was Rachel kind of like, I kind of want them to win because I feel,

that's how I feel sometimes towards like, when people are being that Like you need this more than I do. It's it's black It's a little bit of like one extreme or the other like either like I don't I I'm like offended by this person So therefore I'm going to like punish them. Yeah, or it's like dang. I feel bad for that other girl That's just trying to have fun and this other girl's like making it no fun for her ruining it I should probably just let them win. It's not that big of a deal for me. Yeah. Like, did you feel that at all?

I don't know how they felt in the moment. I was getting fired up. I was like, this is ridiculous. They are just like, I don't know. I just didn't like the way they were handling it. They were just kind of like, they were just kind of nasty. Yeah, you don't really wanna like give in and enable them to like act.

Yeah. But then something happened. So switch sides at eight. The girls are down Rachel Molly down eight to five when we switch Okay, so you gotta make a little comeback here It started to get intense. I want to say the score is somewhere like 13 to 10 or something. It's really close. I'm gonna text you guys a picture Molly hits an overhead slam The picture I texted you is where the ball landed. And she called that ball out.

We'll put it up on the screen right now. I've never seen anything like this. In the moment, it happened very fast. And I was like, I mean, that ball was two feet in, right? And so the girl just like, and I watched the video back, she can't see, her head wasn't even turned. The ball lanes behind her and she just calls it out. And so, I mean, immediately Molly was like,

no, that ball was in. I'm like saying something like, no, that was in. Trying to like, let's see how serious we need to get here. She's like, nope, it hit outside gray. It hit outside gray, which I guess is like the gray of the color of the court. And I was like, I can show you on the camera. It landed like two feet in.

No, I saw outside gray. I saw outside gray. She like doubles down on it. And I was like, no can show you on the camera. It landed like two feet in. No, I saw outside gray. I saw it's gray. She like doubles down on it. And I was like, no, no, it was. This is Rachel's nightmare. The ball was in by like a ton. Like you cannot call that ball out. And so then me and her going back and forth a little bit.

And then eventually her partner was like, yeah, I think it might've been in. I was like, thank goodness. Wow. But yeah, so then all day I'm telling people that story. And as I'm telling the story, I start backtracking a little bit. I'm like, maybe it wasn't two feet in.

It was like a foot. I mean, it's just like three and a half feet. It was like it was like a foot in. I'm telling people. And then when I got the footage and looked at it, I was like, that's like four feet. Yeah, you're not crazy. You were vindicated. That ball was four feet in right in front of me. And she called it out. So it was insane. They almost like lost the game because of that. But they didn't lose the game.

They came back and won and they beat the nasty Thunder and Lightning. So it was awesome. Clear skies, baby. Yeah, blue sky and sunshine. That's right. It's their name. So it's gonna make for a great YouTube video.

Cool. They came back and won against the girls who tried to cheat them. Did you get footage of them like fighting? I don't know. I don't know what Zach got exactly. I hope so. Zach sounded like he was rolling for everything. So I hope so. Oh man. Yeah. I hope he got it all. Um, cause yeah, it was, it was good storylines. Yeah. I mean, like they were trying to like cheat them out of it. And anyway, I was just so proud of Rachel Molly. I was

like a dad. I was just like, I just, I just hope they have fun, win or lose. I'm just proud of them. I hope they have fun. They're great. And it was proud of them. I hope they have fun, they're great. And it was awesome. Was it like, oh, let's do this again? Like they wanted to do that? Or was it like, that was fun? I was telling Isaac, because he got there for the championship game

and he couldn't believe how good Rachel and Molly were playing. He's like, I mean, they're like dinking at a really solid level, their drops, like this is amazing. And I was like, what's funny is like, I bet they're having so much fun. Rachel's having a blast. But if I asked her if she wanted to do this again,

she'd be able to say, no, I'm good. But I was wrong. Rachel's like, no, I seriously had a blast. I would do this again with Molly. She got the taste for it. Yeah, she's like, I'm not trying to like play all the time now, but I would do another tournament with Molly. Would she do one with you?

Or do you want to do one with her? I think there's too much of a skill gap where it wouldn't be fun for either of us. Because we even tried this before, like when we were first dating, we joined like a mixed doubles league and the other team would just, they would hit every ball to Rachel.

So no fun for me. And then of course they just hit it to Rachel until she messes up. So it's no fun for her either. Yeah. And it kind of fires me up as a man too. Cause I'm like, there's a man across the net for me who is too scared to hit a wiffle ball to me.

Be a man. Yeah, I'm like, dude, come on. So it's just better, because a lot of couples are like, we end up fighting, if we play pickleball, we end up fighting. I'll end up fighting the guy across the net for me. I'm like, hit it to me, be a man.

You'll fall asleep and you'll cry. Yeah, hit the plastic ball to me. What are you so afraid of? You know, pickleball, the sport with the ball. The ball and everything? Yeah, let's be men about it. But no, so proud of. You know, pickleball, the sport with the ball. The ball and everything. Yeah. Please take the pile. Let's be men about it.

But no, so proud of Rachel and Molly. So they were great. Won their first tournament 3.5 and then Isaac and I played 4.5 right afterwards. Gonna have to watch the video, see what happened there. I love it. Gonna have to watch the video. I love it.

I was kind of thinking, when the PPA comes back to Kansas City, like next August, maybe interment that and do 3.5. Because like local tournaments compared to like PPA comes back to Kansas City, like next August, maybe interminate that and do 3.5. Cause like local tournaments compared to like PPA tournaments, the competition's a little different. So that'd be really cool if they could win like a PPA 3.5. I don't like the games to 15. I think I'd rather do two out of three.

Yeah, two out of three. Cause sometimes when a game gets away from you, mentally you're done. Like if you're losing seven one. Reset, reset. Yeah, seven one, you could lose a game gets away from you, mentally you're done. Like if you're losing seven, one. Yeah, you kinda need to reset. Yeah, seven, one, you could lose a game 11 to four, but then you could come back to the next game and win 11 to seven.

Even just to have 90 seconds to think through, it's like a halftime adjustment of like, all right, what was working, what wasn't, let's take some time to communicate about it. Maybe it's just a mental discipline I don't have that is necessary for that. But yeah, all of a sudden it's like, I don't have that is necessary for that. But because yeah, all of a sudden it's like, I don't know that game got away from us and we just happened so quick. Yeah, exactly. It happened so fast. But it's fun. Yeah. I've

been playing a lot of pickleball. I think I've played five days in a row now. Yeah. So I'm all in right now. You're playing inside right now, playing inside. Never. Isaac and I were talking recently and we're like, I think it would be like good for the business for us to like actually try and get good at pickleball. So I think we're going to try this winter to like actually play. We just started, we're going to start taking lessons from TJ, the sponsored Friday athlete. He's really good. So good dude.

Look out plastic ball. That's fun. Uh, I have some updates from my kids always, always. I mean, that's, that's mainly what I'm doing right now is just hanging out with kids, went to polar express with them. I think I mentioned that last week. And we were sitting there waiting for polar express to start and we see this like family come in. And I noticed that like, I didn't like stare at him or anything. So I didn't know who they were, but I noticed that this kid sits like right next to Hattie. I'm like, that's like this, this, this theater is plenty big.

Like what are we? And I, but I was like, okay. And like, Bo like starts like nudging me and I'm like, yeah, I know. I see it, but like, don't point it out to these people. And then Bo like does it again. And I look down and it's my friend, Todd Porter's family. Oh, cool. Yeah. Had no idea he was coming. And so they came and sat with us and everything. And Bo was just like, yeah, Todd Porter's family. Oh, cool. Yeah, I had no idea he was coming. And so they came and sat with us and everything.

And, uh, Oh, she's like, yeah, Todd Porter's family. Dad. Yeah, it's, it's Xander. Uh, but that was Xander, Xander, Bo, Zeke, uh, yeah, Todd's Todd's wife. And it was, it was awesome. It was a, it was a fun time.

And then from there, you know, union station has what's called the link, which like you can, the Eagles play. Yeah, that's right. Lincoln financial field is in union station, Kansas city. Um, but it's like this above ground, whatever you want to call it, tunnel, uh, where you can walk from union station to crown center, uh, without going outside. And so we, I was like, let's go to Crown Center and see. I was like, I'll buy you some ice cream. I was like, we're doing reverse dinner tonight.

We're doing dessert first. I think that was awesome. We got dirt and worms. Just Hattie and Bo. Just Hattie and Bo. Yeah, so it was a little bit easier to move around and everything. But then we were over there and then we're like,

let's go see what's at the Crown Center, like Christmas tree across the street. They have like ice skating and stuff there. I was like, yeah, let's just go look at it. I knew they had stuff to like climb on and stuff. All of a sudden we're over there and it was like the mayor's Christmas tree lighting. Casey Wolf is there and like they're doing like all these light shows and all this stuff. Oh, this is awesome. Great timing. And so all of a sudden, yeah, by the end of the night, how he was like, this was the second Great timing. And so all of a sudden, yeah, by the end of the night, Hattie was like, this was the second best night of my entire life.

It's like, awesome. So it was just like fun memory with them. And then also, yeah, we had like a little, Bo has, Bo and Rosie go to Mother's Day out. And so they had like this Mother's Day out Christmas program. And this was like, Hattie has done it before. Bo's done it before. This is Rosie's first time. And I was like, out of all of our kids, like Rosie seems like the one that might actually like get into the song she's singing or do the dances. Dude,

she went up there. I mean, it's so cute and just whatever. She went up there and didn't say a thing, didn't move a muscle. Just stood there the entire time. Like all these other kids are kind of trying to like, you know, have a delayed motion to the song, you know, six seconds afterwards. She was frozen by the lights. She wasn't scared. She didn't seem nervous or like sad.

Sick of her all in. I think she was maybe like, Catherine and I were like trying to wave to her, like show her where we were. It's okay, it's all good. Right. But then Calvin and Molly's son Vinny is at the same Mother's Day out.

I can see him going nuts. Vinny was unbelievable. So his class did Little Drummer Boy and Vinny drummed on beat for three minutes straight. No way. He's like three years old or something like that and he's just going like this the entire time. I was like, why couldn't you be more like Vinny? I mean, just could not like break it. He was awesome. Was he drumming to the Busta Rhymes part of

the rap too? He was, he did the Busta Rhymes part. Yeah. Yeah. Like to the beat of his like, yeah. He did like Nick Cannon drum line at that point. Like, and then Bo got up there and Bo did a pretty good job. It was so cute and fun and everything but Yeah, dude, Vinny just stole the show for me. That's fun. He nailed it. Howdy did some little craft sale, right? I know Rachel went and bought something from her. Yes. That's my that's my win of the week. How about hey win of the weeks? Win of the week pin untaken out Yeah, one of the week was the maker's mark. Maker's mark. Not market. Nope, it was maker's market.

Oh, what? Oh. I'm pretty sure. I wrote down maker's win of the week. Maker's market. Yep, sure enough. Wow. Good job, Jake.

Thanks. Yeah, so her homeschool classical conversations thing, her co-op like does this thing. And I didn't even, I had heard her talking about it, but I didn't understand how big of a deal this was. Like it was like this little entrepreneurial fair thing where all these kids had done all these cool, like selling all these different things.

Like military Bob's kids were there selling rubber band guns. Military Bob. That's such a good reason right there to homeschool. Like having opportunities like that is pretty unique and special. 100%, and like Hattie, yeah, had the time to like work on all this stuff.

And so, you know, we made like display stands for her. She made all these bracelets and rings and necklaces and stuff. And she made all these different things. She had a like a little piece of paper out on the front that just like her handwritten thing. It's like, hi, my name is Hattie Ellis, I'm seven years old. I live at, and then just puts her address in there, buy.

That's all it is. Blank, blank, blank, Shawnee, Kansas, buy. It was so cheap. And then she has like all these prices. And of course my entrepreneurial like self is like, those are way too cheap. You need to be charged way more for this stuff. You know, like her rings, I think rings were five cents

or 10 cents, you know, and her bracelets were 50. But like people came, like my children's pastor, Sam Sievers came and was like, I'll take one of those rings. And she's like, okay, that's 10 cents. And he's like, all right, here's $5. You keep the change, you know, it's just so sweet, so kind. And Hattie didn't know what that meant. So she's like, okay, so the change will be $4.90.

And he's like, no, no, no, you get to keep all that. It's 4.90 and then I keep it. I was like, Hattie, do you understand? It was like you just sold 50 rings right there. Like that's amazing. So, Bo's already scheming. He wants to sell cutting boards next year. And of course my entrepreneur head's like,

let's teach Bo that you can either sell, you know, a hundred rings or just one cutting board, you know, sell it for 30 bucks, you know, whatever. But it was so sweet to see all these different kids. I mean, it was candles and I don't know, all these different like candy and whatever, all these different cool things. Is it adults shopping with their kids?

Is it kids shopping? I think it's mainly adults. I think sometimes like the adults will with their kids? Is it kids shopping? I think it's mainly adults. I think sometimes like the adults will give their kids money. So like my aunt Cindy came and gave, I think a bunch of like most of the, like she brought my niece and nephew and then also gave Bo and maybe Hattie and Rosie. I don't know, but like gave him like five or 10 bucks to like, so Bo got one of those rubber bandguns. Got some walking around.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bo got a rubber band gun. He got some big candy thing. And oh yeah, he was having a blast. 3D printed Christmas tree or something. All of these cool things. I was just so encouraged by. I would, yeah, that sounds awesome.

Yeah, because that's like in fifth grade, that's like my first, I did like this, it was like this, this what they call it I don't remember what is even called like young special ed young enterprise He did I did like this thing where it was like, you know And I I got a taste for like that was fun to like the harder I worked the more I could make You know awesome the more inventory I had the more I could sell, you know, it was it was so fun so I hope that had he's the same, but she worked so hard on it and like,

she had, you know, the display and the tablecloth and all this stuff and Catherine helped and I helped. Bo, so now she's like, I think I could hire Bo to help me make these things. And I could give him half of the money that we make. And I was like, there we go, there we go. Keep turning those wheels, Hattie. So anyway, it was really fun.

That's awesome. Yeah, I never had anything close to that. There was one time in Gifted where we were supposed to come up with like an invention and then like show off your invention, which I really got into that. I wish throughout my entire, you know, education, upbringing, everything,

we had more opportunities to create a product or sell a product or anything like that. That's so fun. What was your invention? It was like a mailbox. So you know what the bank, the shoot. Yeah, the pneumatic tubes. Pneumatic tubes, is that what they're called?

I think so. Seems like I should have known that in third grade. If they're pneumatic, they are called that. Is that like, I don't even know how it works actually. I think pneumatic is like, timing, look it up up air pressure. Yeah, I think it's air pressure. Yeah, is that the noise? It's pretty close it's actually like this Really Deeper pitch than mine. Well, oh you're doing ones in Bank of America. Yeah. Okay, they're different there. I don't know

Well, oh, you're doing ones in Bank of America. Yeah. Okay. They're, they're different there. I don't know. Yeah. Container operated by air or gas under pressure gas. Oh, I don't think so. No way. No fracking here, brother. No. Thank you. I remember going to the bank with my mom, like when I was probably eight and she was like, I would just, I was obsessed with those. I liked love just watching them. And I like she told me, she was like, they're trying to figure out ways to transfer people similar to that or something like that. And I was like, cool.

I don't know if that ever happened. Yeah, I don't know. That's pretty fun. But yeah, we lived on land and it was a long walk to the mailbox. So I wanted a tube to go from the mailbox to just like our front door. Yeah. Yeah. So I wanted a tube to go from the mailbox to just like our front door. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Huh. So that was it. So you didn't actually invent it. You just had the idea to invent it. I suppose. Yeah, I didn't actually invent anything.

It was just like, I think I made like a model. Like here's my house. Here's what it'll look like kind of thing. That's cool. Something like that. Look at you go. All right, that's my win. You guys got some wins?

Tywin, you got a win? Yeah, I think just like spontaneously hanging out with people. I just love when it's like a last minute thing. It's not planning. It's getting zany. Yesterday, I had my voice lesson and it turns out Zach's, I didn't know this,

Zach's was right after mine. So kind of overlap there. But then Oliver was like a mile away. And so he called me like, what are you doing right now? Cause we have like our locations and stuff. And it was like, I don't know, not really anything. So we just hung out for a little bit and like shot a skit for backseat boys. I was, which might be out by the time this comes out. But yeah, what was the skit? We're trying to like not only have to do podcast stuff just to try new things. It was, uh,

it's like a POV type thing. And it's like the girl that can't keep a secret. And I play this girl that can't keep a secret. And so there's like three different like bits. So, I don't know. Wow. Fun. Yeah. He's growing up. My boys growing up. Wow. He went from Adobe enhanced to the girl that can't keep a secret. We really changed them. That's good.

What made you a girl? Lit nothing visually. No, we had no props, no prep. We just like thought of the idea, then wrote the jokes and did the video. Nice. Yeah. I do appreciate how Trey like becomes a girl

just by putting on a robe. I think there's some steps you could take where you look like a drag queen. I don't really like that, but there's other steps that I feel like look worse. Some guys will just put a towel over their head when they're a girl character. That's a very common thing.

Yeah, when did this start? I hate that. That's worse than having nothing on. Yeah. Yeah, I think you just need one scarf, one scar act a little feminine in the video just to race this right But nothing like yeah, I didn't wear anything different. Yeah Nice good for you. Thanks girl. They can't keep a secret You know when I'm sure I do I I didn't do a good job of writing went down, but

I'm gonna I'm sure I do. I didn't do a good job of writing one down, but I'm gonna go with, Rachel got a, not she's gonna accept it, Rachel got a job offer while running a mile. That was pretty fun. That feels pretty tough to do. Kinda cool. Did she break stride or she just kept walking? I think she didn't stop. Yeah.

And I don't know if it's really a career, but before, so where are where the pickleball tournament was, it's like one half of the old US toy building is pickleball, the other half is volleyball courts. Ghosties, no, some of them. Ghosties, no. Yeah, I've been there. Really?

Yeah, we did GrandiBoo. Wow, we did. Yeah. Yeah, but the one with F12. F12, sorry. Yeah, that was it, SW19. Anyway, so yeah, other did. Yeah. Yeah, but the one with F12. F12, sorry. Yeah, that was it, SW19. Anyway, so yeah, other side's volleyball. And so Rachel and I, we were like,

let's run our mile before pickleball starts. While we start running our mile, they start getting set up for volleyball. So Rachel's running and being like, hey, what club team is this? While she's running around them. And they're like, it's Mavs. And Rachel's like, oh, fine, I used to play for Six Pack.

And while she's running, the girl's like, if you used to play for Six Pack, you can coach here anytime. Rachel's like, it's Mavs. And Rachel's like, oh, fun, I used to play for six pack. And while she's running, the girl's like, if you used to play for six pack, you can coach here anytime. Rachel's like, sweet. And they ran back around and was like, yeah, yeah, I'll let you know, I'll let you know. Yeah, maybe, I was fun to coach for volleyball. Has she coached before?

When she first moved to Kansas City, she was working for Rosedale Middle School. And I think she was their middle school volleyball coach for free. And I don't even know if they had practices. It was like, just show up to the games and try to get their serve over the net. Like there was a girl who dove one time and her cell phone flew out of her spandex.

You know, like it was just like, just corralling the middle schoolers. So. You think she would like it? Maybe, I think she would rather do it for younger kids. I don't think she would wanna do it for like, like a super serious team and definitely not a head coach. It's just a lot of work.

And she'd rather just teach them like the base, like the fundamentals than rather than like, push them to be hard, like me. Yeah, and I think just, I think the more competitive you get, the less fun girls often have. You know, you're taking it more serious. We travel all the way here.

That's a big deal. Like, give me a smile. Yeah, give me a smile. Just pick a ball. No, no, no. But yeah, I think it'd be fun for Rachel to coach some volleyball or just like do setting lessons or something.

Yeah. That'd be great. That is a fun, a fun win. I'm always asking her to give me setting lessons. I'm like, hey, I can't keep being the worst person on the team. I need you to make me a better volleyball player. She yeah, she's she'll like give me play the tips and then she'll also get discouraged like Yeah, I just think you need to have done this when you were younger Yeah It's interesting to hear her talk about it because she does think that there's a certain maybe I've said this before but there's like

Biological things that you just like can't help. She's like, I was born, like the like shape and size of my hands. She's like, I've had people tell me that they're like perfect for setting. Like, yes, I worked hard at it and did it a ton as a kid, but there's some people like,

just like the offset of like your wrist and where your hand is, like it would just be harder for you to get great setting of volleyball because of like your wrist position or even just your natural Flexibility in your wrist. Yeah shit, I think she was born with like perfect hands to set a volleyball and like credit to her high school volleyball coach who like

Plucked her do you be a pluck of the game? Yeah, and like third grade and was like you're gonna be a setter Wow. It's over. She was like, okay It was mmm. Yeah And so Rachel was like, okay. Those are settin' hands. It was, mm. Yeah. Those settin' hands. Those aren't corn, those aren't plantin' hands,

those are settin' hands. That's what we saw when we hired time, I was like, those are camera switchin' hands. Those are switchin' hands. Now don't get too big for your britches makin' lady videos, all right? You got finger, good fingers switchin' cameras. Oh, that's awesome.

Anyway, so yeah, maybe I wasn't born with good setter hands. Maybe not. I don't know the doctors they can't figure it out. You do a lot of other things very well. So I think you can accept not being perfect at setting. Thank you. You can accept it. I would like to but it would be nice. Do you want to do that segment that I think only you are participating in? Yeah. I have two you want to, I'll do relatable or not dude. Oh Okay, I forgot about that one too. I got to which one yeah, let's do that one And then we can do the other one another time okay, okay

Ghosties if you have thoughts about the other segments gonna be called judge me if you want, but okay alright This one is relatable or not it okay? so I want to ask you guys is this relatable or not it? Okay. So I want to ask you guys, is this relatable or not it? I have to find, like I wrote down, I have to find the perfect time to go to bed. In other words, like sometimes I'm like, I'm going to bed early tonight. I gotta go to like, but if I get to bed too early,

then I don't fall asleep. And then I have a hard time, like, like if I'm in bed too long before falling asleep, then I just stay up even later than I would have if I would have gone to bed at the right time. I think I understand. It sounds complicated though. Nah, dude.

Nah, dude. Yeah, definitely not relatable. Okay. I don't even know if I comprehendable. Yeah, let's say, let's use, let's use number examples. Let's say I would like to fall asleep by 9.30. So I go to bed at nine o'clock. If I'm not falling asleep right away,

cause I'm still like a little bit awake at nine, then all of a sudden it's 10 o'clock and I haven't fallen asleep. But if I would have waited till 9.30, I would have been sleepy. I would have fallen asleep almost immediately. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, so at 9.00 PM, you're just laying there and just can't fallen asleep, but if I would have waited till 9.30, I would have been sleepy, I would have fallen asleep almost immediately. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, so at 9 p.m., you're just laying there

and just can't fall asleep? Yeah, I don't know, yeah. Nah, dude. Nah, dude. All right. I thought of one. Yeah. While you were saying that one. Yes.

We'll go popcorn, so I have more time to think. Oh. Oh, what was it? Oh, I will spend a good amount of time sometimes, like, deciding which product I want to buy. Like, I'm going to buy some running gloves and I'll spend five minutes choosing which type of running gloves I want. Like, spending way too much time for this, like, dumb, like,

whatever. I get so close to buying this one and I end up buying this one. But the second I buy it I Know remorse. No rearview mirror. I never once think about that one did have that feature I wonder if it would have been better with that and that goes from running gloves to like buying a house Okay, like I just you can spend I can spend so much time laboring over which one to choose But once the decision is made there's no like looking back reliable or nodded? Nodded? No, I don't think I, which part? I don't know. Yeah. The

thing is, I don't know if I, I would find myself pretty fairly commonly thinking maybe I should have done like something different. You'll remember what was still enough or what was an option. And I think I maybe spend an average amount of time deciding though. I don't know, but maybe it's like, it's probably a good thing that you spend so much time making the decision, cause then you don't have to regret.

Maybe that's why it feels like a very confident decision. And there's some things, I mean, you just like, I need, oh, I should buy some like, everything's running, I guess, I should buy some like ear muffs for running. And then I have bought it and ordered it in 20 seconds. Cause you know what you want. Yeah, it's just like I don't even care. Yeah, fleece sure sounds good. But yeah, certain things like, I don't know, buying a

space heater. It's like well, what size room does it say? How many watts? Well, you know, it's like I'll spend so much time in this hecking buy it like great. This is my space heater now. Yeah, you never think like should I have gone and checked this other one out? Yeah, I say relatable. The only one I gone and checked this other one out? Yeah. I say relatable. The only one I don't relate to was the house. Because I remember after, I really enjoyed the process of finding a house and like.

Zillin. Yeah, Zillin. And like also like, yeah, just because we were, it was a hunt for us. It wasn't like we had a lot of money to spend for a house. So therefore, it wasn't like we could just pick out anything. So like after we bought that house, it was still like, we still like got the automated emails from our realtor

for a few days afterwards. And I was like, yeah, I'll check out whatever we got. What else is out there? Wow. Did you do it with your truck too? No, truck, I was very adamantly like, I researched that for a long time and tried to find felt good about it Bunch of deals, but then after that, I don't think I looked back because I was so happy and content with it

You know what I mean? Yeah So but I definitely I think overall relatable Relatable or not. It is more of a just a feeling that I have potato Potato chips, they're not fun and they're not good. Just- They're not relatable. They're not good. Relatable or not dude, potato chip, regular potato chip. I'm not talking about like-

Just like Lay's? Barb, yellow. Who the heck cares about Ruffles even? Well, Ruffles have ridges, that's fun. No, it's not. Ruffles are the garbage, the last potato chip I'd ever want. This is so true.

Yeah, when would you ever pick Lay's potato chips over any other chip? I'm not saying like I won't eat it. Like of course it's salt and fried oil, whatever. Like, yeah, it tastes fine. But you're right, there's nothing fun about it. No, they're the worst. This is a great take.

Ruffles have never done it for me. Okay. It's weird. But straight up, yellow bag, Lay's, regular potato chips, I don't mind them on their own. And I think they really hit next to a sandwich. Really? Oh, I think they absolutely compliment.

Okay. Just a nice cold cut. Okay. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, yeah. Regular, yeah. They get so much better. Like they have like those variety, you those variety, single serve bags at Costco

that has regular chili cheese fritos, Cooler Ranch Doritos. It's like, I'm never picking the yellow lace ever. Yeah. Those are thrown away at the end of the trip. I do like the barbecue ones. Yeah, because they're good. Yeah.

I don't mind the lace though. Listen, you're right. I shouldn't have said they're not good good. I don't mind the Lays though. Listen, you're right. I shouldn't have said they're not good because I don't mind them either. Like, yeah, force me to eat it fine, but I'm never going to be like, okay, please. I would love more of those, please. Yeah. So, all right, Jake, let's get a little more serious here. Healing Waters is a sponsor of ours, healingwaters.org, give.healingwaters.org says PMD match, you know, all the different things. Healing Waters, I'm just gonna read from their website here. It says, who we are.

It says, as participants in God's mission of restoring humanity to wholeness, we work to end the human suffering caused by the global water crisis. We apply our engineering expertise, international development experience, and faith in God to help the world's most vulnerable communities establish, own, and operate community-wide safe water systems. We envision a world

where every child, woman, and man is free to flourish in relationship with God in each other. So we are sponsored by Healing Waters today, Healing Waters International, and we want to not only have them, you know, pay for us to talk about them, but we want them to be able to make money off of them advertising with us by raising a lot of funds for them. And so we're doing that with this PMD match all through December. So this is our last, I believe, no,

we have one more ad with them in December. Yeah, but now would basically be the time to make your money go further, to make it go twice as far. Right now, whenever you're listening to this would be a great time to consider donating. Like Brad said, I like their website. Community-wide water, like safe water emissions.

Like that describes what they're doing. It's for the whole community and they're going into communities that don't currently have clean water solutions to wash their hands, to cook food with, to bathe with. So crazy, crazy important. They're doing big things and we would love for y'all to consider giving to them with the link in our description. So thanks. Yep. And if you do give PMD Beauty, we'll match it dollar for dollar up to $10,000.

So hey, easy. Yeah, I dare ya. And yeah, Safe Waters transforming lives. So please get on board. Give.healingwaters.org slash PMD match. I'm kind of scrambling here now. Relatable or nah. Time to feel free to pitch in here. The beginning of my marriage, I would lift the toilet seat up to pee,

and now I do not. You just go for it. Yeah. And you do a pretty good job. Yeah, I mean, I never miss the bowl, but occasionally what you will have is it splashes up onto the seat. You never miss the bowl.

People always talk about it. Relatable or no, I've never had trouble missing the bowl. Great. Second, really, yeah. The aim is just fine. But every now and then you'll notice like, oh, it splashed up on the seat. Okay.

Timing, relatable or not? Wipe it off, wipe it off. For my, it was the first few years of marriage that I would, so it lasted a little longer for me. But then you didn't get rid of it? Yeah, so relatable. Okay. Right? No, dude. I do it every time you still lift not even because I think Catherine wouldn't want it Or I don't even know whatever I just yeah always always in forever. I will good for you. I don't know forever You're willing to commit to that

Forever Wow. Yeah, I I don't know. It's my own thing. Like it's like I want it. I that's the right thing for that. I don't know So what's going on to where you're missing the let's not get into mechanics. All right Is it You know what balance boards are yeah, so I'm trying to like go back and forth on it as I'm doing it. Yeah, it's just too much No, I mean, I'm not missing very often. I don't think that's part of it. I don't know. Yeah. But I think the initial first, yeah, you never know where that thing. Sometimes. Yeah. You're like, whoa, I didn't know I had it aimed.

Yeah. Yeah. You got to calibrate a little bit. Sometimes. Sometimes. Plus that this is pretty whatever. It's Christmas. No one's listening. That's true. This is pretty whatever first time it's Christmas. No one's listening. That's true That area of the like that that land, you know underneath this underneath the toilet seat. That's my land That's my kingdom. Oh, yeah, I was never seeing that in our house. You could put the cure for cancer under there. Nobody ever see it That's what I'm saying though. Like you could communicate back and forth with me and Bo. Other bros. Yeah, hey Bo, I love you man. Love you too, dad. Back and forth, writing notes on that. Hey dad.

Hey dad, I got this for mom for Christmas. Great, she'll never know, son. Hey dad, got a Charmander today. Thanks, bud. You bet, buddy. Recently, he's been saying some funny things recently. Just making up his own phrases. He's been saying shucks things recently, like just making up his own phrases. Like he's been saying shucks a lot, but sometimes it'll be like, ah, shuck a buck or something

like that. Oh, shucks a Rooney. You know, all these different things. It's just so random and funny. So shuck a buck. Relatable or not, dude? My hair seems to always look best right before bed when it doesn't matter. Really?

You ever feel that? Like you're like, dang, it looks nice right now. And I'm just going, I gotta go to bed. Sometimes, but not enough for it to be a pattern. I would say not dude. Not dude. Sorry, what were you, I missed the first part of your sentence. Oh, I just said my hair always seems to look best

right before I go to bed hundred percent relatable. Yes Wow, yeah, just in general like just how I like look yeah, I mean midday Yeah, yeah right before bed where I'm not seeing anyone Amazing. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, that's it. Yeah All right, uh, let me go again. Yeah, give me another. Relatable or not, dude? Toy Story has given me a false sense that everything in my house has emotions. Oh, relatable.

Like I can't get, like, I can't give that shirt to Goodwill. Like I haven't even barely worn it yet. And it's like, I don't like that shirt. Like get rid of it. But it's like, but that shirt has, and or I feel a little bit bad if it's like, but that shirt has, and, or I feel a little bit bad if it's like, that was a gift. It's a little bit different than Toy Story, but like that was a gift given to me. They spent money on it and I didn't wear it very much.

I don't like the way it looks, but I got to keep it for a few more months before I throw it out. Or like, I think that way towards saws, like in my wood shop, I'm like, man, this saw is not going to like this wood. It's going gonna like this wood. It's gonna make this wood, it's gonna make this saw mad. That's how I feel, yeah. But everything has this feeling to it. Yeah, I wouldn't have thought to attribute it to Toy Story, but you're probably right. I feel it that way when it comes to like,

hey, let's turn off the lights off before we leave the house. Not even to save money, just give them a break. Let them chill for a second. Oh my God, they've been working all day. And I'm kind of joking, but not really. Like that is how I feel. Like when we go to bed, we usually have some like ambient lighting

on in our kitchen. And first thing in the morning, I come and turn it off. Like, yeah, I'm awake now and I need lights, but not this one. He's been up all night. Yeah, it's tired. I seriously do that every single day. I turn turn it off. Like, yeah, I'm awake now and I need lights, but not this one. He's been up all night. Yeah, it's tired. I seriously do that every single day. I turn that light off.

I'm like, I'll give him a break. Every once in a while, I'll like go to my closet and pick out some shoes I haven't worn in a while. And I'm like, I bet these shoes are so excited. Yeah. Oh, they're, they are like, finally I'm off the shelf moving around, seeing the world. Yeah, it is nice.

No, I definitely feel that. It's mainly just like their work ethic and their like motivation to work for me. Like the saw, it. No, I definitely feel that. It's mainly just like their work ethic and their like motivation to work for me. Like the saw, it's like, I know its job is to cut things. I'm sorry though. He's not gonna like this though. Yeah.

He's not gonna like this hard cedar. Right. Totally, I feel like with like, just any mechanism really, I'm like, I just opened and closed the garage door and now I gotta go outside again. Yeah. Oh, he's not gonna like this. Yeah, it's like, what were we doing the first time?

I gotta ask him to do it again. Yeah. Yeah, I definitely, yeah. You get it. Feel that way. I'd say, nah, dude. I don't feel that. You're not as acoustic like us.

Yeah, that one's really good. Okay. This is another one. This is one I got from, uh, last week. So we got new, new to time and camera for time. And, uh, and obviously Jake and time and are exceptional, uh, technological people, but reliable or not, dude, uh, is, is it hard for you guys to watch people struggle with technology, even though you're no better. It was like, so you guys were doing things yes, last week with like trying to figure out

this camcorder and like you're doing all the things that I would do, but I so badly wanted to be like, well, let me try. Let me see if I turn it back on and off, it'll work better, you know? I would feel like if I was in the room and watch them do it, maybe not as much, but even, but if I wasn't able to see it and I just heard like, I was in the room and watch them do it Maybe not as much but even but if I wasn't able to see it I just heard like I tried this this and this then I would have more doubts like why don't I give it take crack at it?

I yeah, I'm so eager like when Catherine's like, oh my phone won't work this this and this I'm like, can I just try it? Like I know it gives me an idea for mine. It's like I know I know you said you did it just like this But I can I try it just in case? I just need to make sure that it would like also wouldn't work for me. Yes. Yeah. I could watch you do it.

And I'm like, let me have a crack at that. Just in case. I don't know. Let's just try. Yeah. No, that's the same thing. But like, I remember in co-op a couple of years ago, like my teacher would play like a video on YouTube and every time this is different, but just like this is a little pet peeve thing.

She would always like click. She would never use a space bar or any like shortcuts to click play. Go and click the play button. Click the play button. And then she would keep her mouse there. And this was an hour long class. We were just going to watch this documentary the whole time and I had to just sit there Well, the the arrow is on the pause button

And all the things there's a title at the top There's the play like play bar down at the bottom and I just have to sit there just watching I wasn't even watching The documentary. Yeah, you're like, how does she not see this? How do you how does she not care? Yeah, how do you not care that that's there? Yeah that that that I'll you, living with Rachel has taught me that there's certain like there's a different brains out there and they just they will not ever see stuff like that. They will never notice. Or they don't care. You think she would care? I would say probably a little bit both. Like I don't think Rachel would notice, but also like, oh yeah, I saw the beginning of it. It didn't bother me. Yeah. Okay. Oh man. Yeah. I grinded my. Yeah. I think we all notice stuff like that.

It's part of being comedians, right guys? makes lady videos now, so I'd be a girl He's got those setting hands setting hands That remind me of example. We were at a comedy club in Toledo one time Trey would remember the guy's name, but Dominic Jake would remember the guy's name Hello Dominic was the guy and we learned later that he's not normally the guy. I think he's a comedian and they didn't have someone. They called him in to like run sound for us. Just not great with technology.

And so, you know, back then Trey's playing videos and this is boggling their brain. And so his computer is up on the projector for all of us to see and he's navigating it. And so first Trey's like, all right, I emailed you the Google Drive link. And first of all, watching him navigate his email, we're like, all right, it's right there. And he's like, all right, I emailed you the Google Drive link. And first of all, watching him navigate his email,

we're like, all right, it's right there. And he's like, oh man. You're like, it's the only bold one. It says Trey Kennedy. I mean, he's our age. And so he finally clicks on it. And then it takes him to Google Drive. And then, oh, we were just like, I had to walk away.

I was like, I can't see Dominic navigate Google Drive anymore, yeah, just like double clicking the right click. I'm trying to right click, it's not working. Like, you're clicking it twice. You've used a computer before. Yeah, that's rough. Like 34. I think just in, yeah, maybe that overarching struggle

for me is like inefficiency in general. Like sometimes- There's a better way. Hit the space bar. I really struggle now that I'mfficiency in general. There's a better way. Hit the space bar. I really struggle now that I'm not in meetings very often. And now that I see time as money rather than I'm just trying to fill my day with it. Sometimes when I'll go to board meetings or anything where it's like, gosh, this is taking so long.

We did not accomplish the right, it's like, why are we doing this? This conversation is going around in circles, all these different things. Just so hard to watch inefficiency go down. It's like, oh man, can I just do it for you? Why don't I go ahead real quick? Yeah. That's good, okay, I thought of two

and I already forgot the first one. So we'll go to the second one, I guess. Speaking of that inefficiency, I feel like oftentimes when I'm on a call with someone, like it's a group call, fill in the blank, whoever is in there, but, and we were on a call yesterday, so I don't know if you think this is about you.

It's not about you. But I feel like oftentimes people are just like bad question askers. I I feel like oftentimes people are just like bad question askers. I know that sounds like basic, just like human, just knowledge, but people, it happens all the time. Like I would ask you, the question is like, what do you think you'll have for lunch today?

Like, do you think you'll like go out and like grab like, I don't know, like fast food or something, or like, I know Catherine sometimes makes stuff at home for you. Like, I was just wondering, like, did you, like, do you know, did you have something in mind of like what you're gonna do for like lunch today or anything like that?

Like, that's pretty common that I like hear those things, whether it's like a podcast or especially when I call someone, I'm like, oh, just, you already, the first seven words ask the question. They know what it means. You don't have to elaborate. Okay. Like people feel the need to like, explain their question or just, I don't know, that really bothers me. Now I'm trying to think about our call yesterday. What example he's talking about. I don't really think you asked any questions yesterday. I was very like, I don't have much to say here, but I'd say relatable.

I think, but I also think relatable and that I can, I think I can probably fall into this trap too. When like you're also a teenager. So if it's you got time, baby. Yeah. But if I'm in a conversation where I'm trying to like keep the conversation going, I might just like fill empty, like silence with a question that would take longer than it needs to.

And sometimes it can almost as a people pleaser, I feel like it is a bit of like rudeness, even if I just ask something really quickly and that's it. Yeah. So you kind of need to like fluff it up a little bit. Yeah, I definitely do what you're talking about. At least I for specifically the question of like, what do you do? Or like, because I don't know that for me, that sometimes is like a little bit ambiguous question. So I'm like, what do you do? Like like, cause like, I don't know that for me, that sometimes is like a little bit ambiguous question. So I'm like, what do you do? Like, what's, what's your job?

Like, how do you like, what? I was kind of like, I was kind of like, like struggle through it and then just kind of like, dot, dot, dot myself. Like, what do you do? Like, what are you, what's your job? Like, how do you, um, like, and you wait for them to cut you off. Yeah. I'm a CPA. Oh, awesome. Cool. That's great. Yeah. Oh, awesome. Sick. That's nuts, dude. Crazy. April, pretty nuts. Yeah, it just one of those things.

Once you notice it, you can't unnotice it. People will just drag their question on and on and on. Like, how long have you guys been working together? Like, is this kind of a newer thing or have you guys been doing this for a while? I know things got crazy during COVID, but I just didn't know if it was like before then or if it's like more recent.

You know, it's like, it's all nice. It's fine. But I know that they are ready to answer the question. They already, they know exactly what they're gonna answer. Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't bother me that much. Only I know what you're talking about. And I think I might be victim to,

or like a person who does it. So maybe that's why I don't, maybe I'm like defending myself in it. But I'm like, if the conversations were super black and white where it's like, how long you been working together? Six years. Do you like it?

Yes, I do. What would you like to accomplish during this call? You know, like that's more like email to me. I don't know. Yeah, it's kind of like friendling it more like email to me. I don't know. Yeah. It's kind of like friend leading it up kind of like, I don't mind. Yeah, it is a little bit. But I hear what you're saying because I think maybe, maybe it's friendly enough

or maybe it's just the people pleaser of like, I don't want to sound, I don't want to sound short. Yeah. You know, and they take that the wrong way. But yeah. But if we just change the cultural norm to we can just ask very straightforward questions, you know? Yeah, and I think there's nuance to it. Like the more serious the phone call,

the more I don't want someone representing me or us to like waste someone else's time. Like let's get to it, let them answer. I know they have an answer ready. I do think there's a skill and there's a benefit if you are interviewing someone, let's say it's more of a podcast now, and you spring a question on them

that's like probably difficult from an answer super quickly, you do need to fluff it up. What's one of the hardest times you and Catherine have laughed recently? Is there a time when, and then you need to, you follow up your own question to give them time to think. I think that's a skill. Yeah, an example of your own maybe, or like, yeah.

Or help them brainstorm something. Yes. That's good. So little caveat there. Catherine and I have not laughed in years. Yeah. Funny you bring it up. Seems like it's been ever since Hattie was born, honestly.

Bit of a dry spell. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. Relatable or not, let's do this one. I keep texts unread for days at a time, convincing myself that that means I'll respond to them quicker slash better. Like I have an unread text right now from the Andy DeNoon, who's the guy from Ninjas or Butterflies. And he texted me a week ago probably. And I'm like, oh, if I don't read it, then that means I'll definitely respond. It's not proving true at all.

I relate so hard to that. Yeah, like I have so many unread where it's like just not the easiest thing to quick answer. So it's like, well, later I'll want to of course, but I never will. Yeah, I'm big, like the vibes have to be right to respond to certain texts. Like, hey man, how have you been lately? It's like, well, I'm working, right? I can't answer that right now. Or I'm driving right now or even

just like a long question that requires a long answer. Like I better wait till I'm at the computer. I can make an excuse to not answer any texts. I feel so bad because it's like when someone texts me, there's a 90% chance I will see it within three minutes. That's good to know, because you've been a bit slow recently. No, that's what I'm saying. I feel so, maybe the stats are a little off on that, but I will certainly go over a day without answering somebody sometimes,

and there's no way I didn't at least see the notification. I do, sometimes I'll give you a bit of a doubt, because a lot of the questions that take you all to answer are based on like calendar and schedule. Like that's sometimes tough to answer right away. This guy still lives with his parents. Makes lady videos. This guy's got to consult with his mommy first.

No, on one hand I'm like, I don't think, I don't think the, I would love to buck the expectation of responding right away. Like I don't think, I don't think the, I would love to buck the expectation of responding right away. Like, I don't think it's like necessary to respond right away. Or even like within an hour or whatever. Like, great, don't be on your phone all the time. I'm trying to advocate more for that.

But I'm just saying specifically the strategy of, well, just leave it unread and that means you'll respond. It's not working. Relatable. Yeah, when I say relate, I'm not proud of it. Yeah. I'm not working. I'm relatable. Yeah. When I, when I say relate, I'm not proud of it. Yeah. I'm not proud of it either. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. G double O D R A N C H E R S G double O D R A N C H E R S come on time and G double O D R A N C H E R S Hey, hey, G double O D R A N C H E R S it spells out good-R-S, hey, hey, G-O-O-D-R-A-N-C-H-E-R-S,

Close enough to what? Yeah.

We'll just call it good. I got to get going. Didn't line up with the rehearsal track exactly. But yeah, it was okay. That was great. For the longest time, I had no idea what you were spelling. G-double O. What?

Double O. I know all the letters. Which one's double O? I'm a James Bond fan, but I don't remember double O-D. I know double U. Oh, yeah. As yeah, I'm hearing of double. Oh, yeah Good Rachel's though. What a great time of the year to get yourself and maybe your family big ol just a hunk of meat Yeah, settle in cozy up for the winter. Yep. Stop going to the grocery store. Just have it delivered to you It's so convenient

you're gonna get so much meat so much for your, so much value for your money because for the rest of the year, you're going to get a free add on every single month. Yes. I mean, that's just like so much meat for the price. It really is a good deal. So take advantage using code GRKC. You're going to get free expedited shipping, $25 off your first box and a free add on. Yeah.

Friendly encouragement to people out there. Yeah, spend more money at home, less money at a restaurant. I was doing my like end of year finances, seeing how much we spent. And we spent what, like almost half as much money at restaurants as we did for groceries, even though we probably ate at restaurants 20% of the time.

You know, like it is so much cheaper to eat so much better at home than it is to eat at restaurants. So I highly encourage you guys to invest in good food, good meat through good ranchers.com promo codes, GRKC for those, those discounts. And yeah, it's American meat delivered from good ranchers. G double O D R A N C H E. and good ranchers, G-E-O-O-D-R-A-N-C-H-E-A-A.

Yep. One I thought of, I used to think like, we all use Google the same, there's no skill to this. After being married to Hyman, I've learned, I'm not too bad at Googling. Or maybe Rachel is one of the worst I've ever seen. Cause I used to, Rachel Rachel I would be like Rachel you just Google it and she's like do you want to Google it like but what's the different you just Google it dude I but yeah there is a difference capital all caps relatable hard are really Do I emphasize that? R and R relatable.

There is there's something. Funny joke time and funny joke. Also, I've noticed there's something like about you. I think you Google in questions, correct? Let's see. So my recent Google searches. I may. Maybe. I don't know. Like if you were. Monkey rolls. Football was the last one. OK, one that you're trying to find information. I did Google. Maybe, I don't know. Like if you were- Monkey Rolls Football was the last one.

Okay, one that you were trying to find information. I did Google, or I questioned recently, is pint metric or imperial? Yes, I don't think I would Google it like that. I don't know what I would- Yeah, you don't really need the is. German milk leader. I do Googling questions, you're right.

Thank you, I know my friends. How bad is mold in your basement? Yeah, yeah. Probably 50% of the time I'm my how bad is mold in your basement. Yeah Yeah Probably 50% of time. I'm googling questions YouTube to mp4 No, no question. Oh, that's a good. That's a good. That's a good Google. We should do schmores of Google searches so open-ended By the way, my dad called me yesterday and he's like hey didn't anything just want to say how much I loved My dad called me yesterday and he's like, hey, didn't need anything,

just want to say how much I loved the schmores of reindeer. He's like, when I first heard that, I thought that was going to be the dumbest thing. I didn't know how many reindeer there even were. I just thought that was dumb. And then hearing the way you guys went about it, he said, I absolutely loved it. That's all I had.

I'll talk to you later. It's like a 40 second phone call. Thanks Steve. He loved just like the bit of like, there's no reason to defend this and then having to make up our own. He loved that format. Thanks, man. I think it's one of those things where if we do it

every week, it'd be like, okay, this is getting dumb. Yeah, you kind of run out of ways to defend themselves. Like I think one time we did a bracket of movies we haven't seen and then we just, but we just like talked about the movies for a while. We like critiqued the movies. You remember that? It was back at the Light the House.

It was, yeah, it was like based on what we thought we knew about the movie. Right, something like that. Thanks, Steve. I mean, I have a bunch more. I'll just do a few here. How about relatable, relatable, relatable or not, dude? I grew, I, gosh, I'll be done. I go through seasons of password changes.

So like, like I have a set kind of main password carcass, but like once I changed the password, you gave it some wings once. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, that symbol chain. Oh, exclamation point. Oh yeah. The A turned to an A. We're growing numbers. Oh, three digits. Yes. And so then like it changed from like, this is my main one to now it's this like with the exclamation point. Now it's this with two more numbers on it.

So it's like, I have seasons of password changes to where every time I have to change, I change it to this one. I would say nah, dude. Yeah, I keep my carcass the carcass to change, I change it to this one. I would say, nah, dude. Yeah, I keep my carcass, the carcass. No, my carcass, my carcass. Or sorry, I guess just like I. Yeah, but they want to change it. What do you do? I do no changes.

You have to change. I don't have anything that requires me to change it. Oh, what websites are you on? I call malarkey on that. Milk bag websites. What are you talking about? Milk bag websites, what are you talking about? Milk bag websites. Subscription. Yeah, we do raw milk bags.

Are you on OnlyBags? No. I am not. I need milk in there. The whole point. No, you guys don't ever have to change your password. No, I do. I was saying I don't like, it doesn't evolve. I just maybe I have a couple really base ones where like if, if I have a wrong password,

I have three, I'm going to try, but those have been the same for like a long time. You have three carcass probably. No, they're all the same carcass though. You're just adding things to them. No, not fully, not the same carcass. Like there's your password. Like what's your three? You're like three different words. Yeah. There'll be three fairly different things. Three carcass. I don't hate that now that you're talking about it. Cause then you don't have to be like, this plus an explanation point is this plus this. It's just like, these are my three things. Boom, boom, that didn't work. Boom, boom, that didn't work. If you keep the numbers and the symbol the same and change out the word, which I will say, I do have to, I would like, whenever I have to change it, if it's

this certain password, I will just like add a symbol or whatever. Like, so I might, I don't have three super rigid. I have three carcasses Maybe okay. Yeah, I don't know so the only website that ever asked me to change my password is the one we upload our Podcast you megaphone every like six months. Yeah, but I just have Google Chrome. Give me a new one and Remember it and then I never even need to know it That's it though. You're due you you're due for like 20 new passwords. They're all gonna hit, it's gonna be the perfect storm

one day. You're gonna understand what I'm talking about. Like what website, like I've had my Bank of America account for 10, 15 years now, never changed it. It's not a good password. I don't know, it does feel like it's the ones, it does feel like it's the ones that are less important that ask you to change them more.

Yeah. Like my waste management. Yeah, car wash membership. Garbage, yeah. It's time to change your password. It's like, waste management. Yeah. Car wash membership garbage. Yeah. It's time to change your password. It's like, yeah, it's been six months, whatever. I don't know. Did you guys adopt any details of your passwords from like passwords your parents had? 100% Yeah.

She's like, what are things in life that do deserve a bumper sticker outside of a marathon? Yeah. I'm going to say like childbirth, no epidural.

OK, you get a bumper sticker for that and it's wordy. But you spell out everything. I think I think you get one no matter what. Epidural, C-section, anything. OK, yeah, maybe just a bigger sticker is is no matter what I don't underestimate childbirth It's a labor. All right.

Wednesday's episode. Don't you dare? It's not the same. Well, I don't know maybe this the first sentence of it is the funniest part To me, it's from Veronica Palmer 3420. Mine's from Tom Webb She you know last episode we were talking about breaking a timers car She said I just broke into the cars of two of my students a week and a half ago. And then the next sentence, which makes it even funnier is my students are adults from other countries who are here learning English. Absolutely taking advantage of these people. No.

Then she just explained a little more on the same day they both locked themselves out of their cars. We could have called the locksmith, but where's the fun in that? We went to Home Depot and bought the inflatable pillow thing and a long metal rod. It took us a while, but we eventually got into their cars. We could have called the locksmith. But where's the fun in that? We went to Home Depot and bought the inflatable pillow thing and a long metal rod. It took us a while, but we eventually got into both cars. This is probably one of the most useful purchases

we've ever made, considering one of the students locked himself out of his car again yesterday. And there will definitely be more to come. Interesting facts. The auto parts store do not sell these. And you can also use duct tape to break into a car. Look out. So thank you, Veronica.

Fun, fun review, fun comment. Mine's from Tom Webb. He said, no one picking Sven in Schmores is criminal. Key cog in the award winning billion dollar movie franchise Frozen. If I'm the GM, I'm on the phone right now with his agent and I don't sleep until Sven is in our locker room. Might be the biggest omission in S'mores history.

I love that style of comment. That was great. Yeah, I did appreciate like, or somebody comment. I think it was Tucker Hamilton in the Facebook group. Commented about my pick. Yeah, backed up your pick of blunder and like had like his own facts about it. Like there was more to the story that we didn't say.

You know? Yeah. What did he say? It was really funny. Whatever Tucker wrote shout out Tucker Yeah, Sven is true. Like that just shows how much or how little we have watched that movie Not in my frozen era right now. No. Yeah, I didn't even think about outside of the song Sen is a great reindeer though reindeer are better than people. Yeah. Yeah bonus common of the week
