Oh Funny character the guy who clears his throat really annoying way. Are you guys ready to get started? That's better all right, let's get going I need a camera. I thought real quick.. Need to clear a few other things too. Sorry have you heard that? Okay, here we are. I guess that can be the start to the... We're just riffing over here.

I don't know if that's funny to you guys, but we're having a good time. Uh oh, ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down With some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet Cause this is Ghost from the Sparkans There among the morning wind taking ground Ghost from the Sparkans Every morning, morning, we're taking grandma to the spa, yeah.

Go for a vodka? My dad, my uncle, your coach, and my father-in-law. So those three guys have also committed to doing it, especially what I'm doing as well. So every single day, they either run a mile, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups. Wow, that's like an Ironman for some of those guys. Yeah.

John especially, he's like a little bit older. He's in his 60s and he's got a pig heart. So it's a lot to ask. Is that literally what it is? I think there's parts of a pig in there. Really? Yeah. How does that work?

Is that a Stratford thing? Yeah. The doctors don't know about it. Yeah, we can't find it. Well, we got the old man Anderson down the road has got a pig on the way out. But yeah, we're nine days in to January when we're recording this and they've all done it.

They've all claimed they've done it every day. It's impressive. Although I did get a text last night from my dad. I'm just gonna read it to you, verbatim. I had to do my mile in dress clothes and dress shoes today. So he's already getting to that point. I was like, welcome to like the club. Essentially like this is what it's like,

me and Rachel, like you get stuck sometimes. So. He'd rather run a mile in dress shoes than do sit-ups? So he told me a couple of days ahead of time, I talked to him on the phone like Tuesday, he's like, we're still doing it, it's going great. He's like, man, you know, this first couple of days, he's like, pushups are no problem.

He's like, I really, I wasn't even getting that sore. And he's like, then I did a day of sit ups and came back to do the pushups. And he's like, now I'm getting really sore. I was like, yeah, the packs. And he's like, no, my gut. So he can't do pushups because his stomach hurts so bad. I think it's so funny. It's like, no, I think it is. But it's just in my head. I was just thinking like, yeah, you do, you know, a hundred pushups every day. Yeah. Your pecs be so sorry. He's like,

no mice, my belly, your core, my stomach hurts so bad. But yeah, he was like, he knew he's like, Thursday's going to be tough. I think we're going to take grandma to the casino and I got to go straight from work. So I don't know how I'm gonna get it done. And I think- Do it in between Slavoshy and Steve. Yeah, I think that must've been when they win or something because yeah, I guess he avoided humiliation.

He didn't wanna like do pushups and setups in the casino. Okay. So he just ran out. Which then again, that would be pretty funny. Yeah. Every- Yeah. Every pool or every-

Every time he loses, he has to do five. There's so many other weird things going on at a casino. You would not even be looked at that weird. You're at a casino in Joppa, Missouri. Yeah, people don't understand like how people, how unjudgmental people are at the casino. You right? In general, you know, people,

you always think people are gonna look at you more than they are, but yeah, especially at a casino. Also, that air though is thick and palpable. You don't want to, you don't want to be sucking wind, doing a hundred pushups with that like recycled like smoke cigarette air. There's going to be some 98 year old next to you named Ernie and you're like, can I borrow some of that oxygen? Actually, it's pretty thick in here. It's a cool, like contaminated if I throw those up my nose. Yeah. I mean, you see all types of things in the casino. I mean, like, especially in I contaminate, if I throw those up my nose. Yeah, but you see all types of things in the casino. I mean, like, especially in like,

in like pickleball areas, like I've been at a casino in Phoenix, where they are, I saw a guy pressing the slot machine button with a pickleball. We all saw, we're like, that is hilarious. Just cause that's a little bit too far to push down on that hand. I don't know what the reason is.

Or he's sanitary. Could be a sanitation. Yeah. Yeah, but anyway. Well, shout out to you guys, Steve and John and Steve. Yeah. It's awesome. So yeah, they're doing it every single day, which is fun.

And I think I'm gonna start new challenge. Okay. So last week, January 1st, ironically, you know, some of I was just like, I think I saw Chris Pratt get, I was like, I'm gonna get shredded. And that's what I kept saying. Like, oh yeah, we talked about Parks and Rec.

Yeah, cause he lost a lot of weight. For some reason, that really clicked. I was like, that'd be fun. Pretend to have a role, Guardians of the Galaxy, I need to get ready for, I think that's what started it. And, but I said, I need, I'm gonna sit on it for a week and see how I feel. Two nights ago, David Dobrik posted something.

Have you seen this? What do you think? Probably not. Have you, I know how big of a Dobrik fan you are, bro. A Dobrik head? Yeah, you a D head? Listen to your D head. What's up D heads?

Brick heads? No, go ahead. Yeah, I didn't think you had seen it. No, I haven't. But Scott saw it. And that's why I was like, well, this is getting around more than I think. Sure, fair.

Anyway, so David, this is kind of a, this is part of being one of the biggest YouTubers. At some point, you will have a controversy. You'll kind of just sit out for a couple years and then you're just gonna be back. It happens to everybody. Logan Paul, Cody Ko, you all, you go through controversy, you give no explanation,

you just plead the fifth for two years. And then you come back. So he came back and apparently, so this is where I'm talking about like a very famous YouTuber used to be on top of the world. Now it kind of lays low, doesn't do much. But apparently all of 2024, he's been getting jacked,

like taking his health seriously for the first time. The like before and afters are insane. Really, let's look at that. And because he's kind of a doughy looking Slovakian guy, it's like something about it clicked. And I was like, one, this is a sign. I was already on the fence about this. And now it's like something got it clicked. And I was like, one, this is a sign. I was already on the fence about this. And now it's like, he did it.

We have a similar job. You have similar, you know, I could do this. And you've been, you've looked like this before. Not the biceps, but you've been like- Not the chest either. Oh dude, I've seen, well, you're right. He looks freaking toned up but he's got a tan. You've been like super skinny like six pack plenty of times. So

yeah I think that went away about was about 24 25 yeah but I think it's attainable. For sure. I saw that and I was like dude that is motivating. Cool. You know what I think I'm gonna do it I walked in the correct opinion studio yesterday Derek's the only one in there he goes dude you see David Dobrik's video and I was like, cool. You know what, I think I'm gonna do it. I walked into the Correct Opinion studio yesterday. Derek's the only one in there, and he goes, dude, you see David Dobrik's video? And I go, yeah, I did. And he goes, I'm thinking about getting shredded. I was like, that's the,

that's like, not even the fact that you thought that, but I was like, that's the exact word I've been using. That's so funny. He's like, yeah, dude, I wanna get shredded this year. I was like, me too. And then we start going back and forth, and we're talking about the vlog, and I was like, it was so good. I was like, me too. And then we started going back and forth and we're talking about the vlog and I was like, it was so good.

I was like, dude, this is embarrassing. But I watched the whole 45 minute documentary on his friend's page. And Derek's like, I watched it too. And then we just, we keep finding out that we lived the exact same evening the night before where we watched the vlog, then we watched the documentary

and then we stayed awake in bed, annoying our wives, telling them every, and like asking them questions like, all right, now is this protein good? All right, now what's good for, what have you heard about factor compared to like some of these other ones? I've seen one called trifecta.

Apparently we just did the exact same thing where we started looking up like meal plans, fitness plans, everything. So after my 24 hours of research, I think I'm gonna, so last week I mentioned, hey, maybe I'll hire a personal trainer. Had a lot of really fun people reach out. And I got close to starting to figure this out

and hit people up. Where I'm at now, I think I'm gonna do it all on an app. I think I'm gonna let an app like tell me what to do. Sure. And see how that goes. Okay. And then maybe I'll be hitting up some people, but my fitness pal looks like the best one.

Okay. You heard of it? Yes. Use it? I mean, I've used it before. I don't know if you heard of it. Is it obvious? Has everyone used that or heard of it?

I mean, it'd be, yeah, I think so. I think it's like the most popular fitness app in the world. Wow, well good for them. But then again, haven't seen the Dave Dobrik video. No, you have not. Been bricked. Anyway, so. I don't use it though.

I have in the past, like to track stuff. But are you saying like it's able to like tell you what to eat and stuff like that? You can like sign, if you want that, it can. But I think I'm gonna like, I don't know when, I guess Monday maybe, just I think I'm gonna fully dive in. As far as like, for the first time ever, looking at nutrition facts, looking at calories. Track your macros and-

Yes, trying to get a certain amount of protein. And I think I'm gonna just order a ton of meals from Factor. I was gonna say, you're gonna love Good Ranchers or Factor. But Good Ranchers is awesome because you can just prep a bunch on Sunday or something of chicken, because chicken's the greatest thing ever if you're trying to hit your protein goals. It is great, yeah. And not go over in calories,

because it's just so lean, but so much protein. Yeah, so I really haven't, it hasn't set in yet with me what I'm about to give up, but I'm done with Chick-fil-A and Canes, I guess. Hey, you can go hard on the grilled nuggets. Grilled nuggets, yes. Yeah, like fried chicken, I guess I'm just like, I'm gonna stop.

Then again, also, never been a big food guy. Yeah, sure. Rachel's always been like, I can't believe you haven't dieted more. You don't even really like food. Like, yeah, you're right. I know, I'm always like, I always wonder if like, do you really not like food because you do eat bad food

for somebody who doesn't like food? It just gotta hit a certain threshold for me. It's gotta be like decent, but I'm not gonna like, oh, I've just been craving this like, I have to have this. Linguiney, you know, or whatever. I don't like crush over food, but it does need to taste good.

So anyway, I'm going to go for it. I'm going to, you know, with mood swings, we have a Brookridge membership. They have a weight room, never used it other than the treadmill, but I'm going to try. So if anyone else wants to be a my fitness pal, dude, we can do it together. There is a Facebook group. That's really cool. On your feet. If you guys don't know, it's a ghost runners fitness group.

Um, I've noticed like just obviously I've been working on my health the last whatever six months or something and having Courtney my our friend just as an accountability person like there's something like that's like the main difference I feel like versus any other time. So it's like yeah find somebody that I'll help you or you know whatever like whatever it is. I think having Rachel is really big for running every day. Yeah, find somebody that I'll help you or whatever. I think having Rachel is really big for running every day. Exactly. Like you, I'm not saying you wouldn't have done it without Rachel, I'm just saying. That helps a ton. You might've found some easier outs.

It's so funny how we had all this snow right after you got done running your mile. Because that would have been, like what would you, like there would have been a few days where it was like, like would you have ran Saturday, Sunday you think? Saturday I would have ran like what would you like there would have been a few days where it was like like would you have ran? Sunday Saturday Sunday you think Saturday I would have ran before it snowed Sunday. I don't know what I would have done She's like get out of the house couldn't have driven to a treadmill

And it's you would have run up, you know 30 minute mile I don't know what we would have done just struggled through the snow Yeah That would have been or running run back and forth in the house and just track yourself or just kind of create a path Just run up and down the street. Yeah. That would have been interesting. Run back and forth in the house and just track yourself. Or just kind of create a path, just run up and down the street. Yeah. All right, now I've got a walkway.

Now you've got your feet that you're going back and forth. Just take those same steps every time. But yeah, it's fun. So whoever else wants to be a fitness pal, I'm going to get shredded. I'm going to try it. See how it goes. I don't have like a measurable goal

other than just like commit to like, actually I should set up some. I think it's gonna be like, I'm gonna try to drink like gallon of water a day, 150 grams of protein a day, work out six days a week. I'm like really diving in. What does workout mean? Like go to the gym, get a workout in.

Okay. I think I wanna try to do like 30 minutes of cardio every day so that pickleball can count as that. If not pickleball then like some combo of like running, stair climber, biking, something. It's going to be a big transition from decently sedentary lifestyle. Oh, yes, for sure. I mean, that has a lot to do, but you are not a sedentary person.

Yeah, I have a sedentary. I have a my job is very inactive. A lot of sitting. Yeah, I do play pickleball. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I have a sedentary. I have a, my job is very inactive. A lot of sitting. Yeah. I do play pickleball. But I mean, still, I think that's a massive jump as far as like totally changing my, my diet and working out for the first time since high school football. It's going to feel very different. I'm excited for you. It's been fun. That video I made of Rachel and I running is up to 334,000 views. I still don't really understand. It's been fun that video I made of Rachel and I running is up to 334,000 views, which I still don't really understand. It's got 5,000 shares. Who's going?

But it's like I've gained all these followers and people are like tagging me in like their husband and wife running together now. Like they don't even listen to the podcast. They saw one reel and now I'm like a part of their journey. You're like the guy. You're the running guy. I'm like, wow, I didn't plan on this.

That's pretty fun. It's kind of made me think I should make more videos that aren't funny or more videos with Rachel or more storytelling Instagram videos, who knows? Just kind of fun. Yeah, you should document this journey. I will. I was thinking about, is there somehow some way,

like obviously I'll keep the podcast super updated, but somehow like not tell my friends and then just like in July, just like take my shirt off for the first time, like gotcha, I've been working out this whole time. That'd be kind of fun. Yeah, Jake's just inviting everybody to a pool party at a subdivision pool.

No guys, we should all go. Why is Jake so tan? We should all shirt off for this. Are everyone ready to jump in at the same time? Let's all line up right here, we're gonna take a picture real quick. Yeah, so we'll see. Just sounds fun.

Something about running every day. I still can't pinpoint it exactly, but it did do something to me mentally. I think it built some discipline or built, maybe it built the need for the next challenge. Maybe that's what it is. It's like, well, I did that. It wasn't super hard, but it was tough to do every day.

Maybe it's like this desire for something like that again, like push myself even harder this year. Yeah. This next one's a lot because I mean, we'll call it an hour and a half, probably at least every single day that you're doing versus 10 minutes. 10 minutes, yeah.

That's a, I mean, that's a lot. Yeah, totally. I know you can do it. I feel like I'm sure it's like, once you get done with one thing, it's like, okay. I did that for a while in college, where I gave up something for Lent. And then I was like,

why am I only giving up something for this time of the year? Like, why don't I give up something different for a month at a time or something? And sometimes it was like physical, like sugar or soda or whatever. Sometimes it was like, I'm not gonna buy anything for myself this month. I'm only gonna buy something if I'm buying it

for somebody else too or something like that. That's fun. Yeah, but I will say, keep going with it because I think it's easy to stop. It's a lot harder to stop and then start again than it is easy to like stop. You know, it's a lot harder to like, like stop and then start again than it is to just like keep going. Yeah.

You know? Yeah, it'll be intriguing. I don't know which part's gotta be the hardest, the eating or the going to the gym every day. I think it's both a tough rhythm to develop. So the 100, 101 mile out. Out. Okay.

I need to find a workout plan somewhere within the app or somewhere, something just give me something to do six days a week. Yeah. Five days a week, I don't know, something like that. Figured out, I love it. Just something that builds all the muscles. I don't really care.

Do whatever. Just whatever David Dobrik did. It is gonna be fun, you know, I haven't like bench pressed since I was 18. That'd be kind of funny like trying to I'm sure like I will get flashbacks I'm like, oh, yeah, I used to do this amount of weight I think because it was the 45 and the 25 or you know, whatever like So that's great. I'm excited. Yeah, right. That's the plan me Derek apparently we're gonna shred it. I love it, dude Yeah, David Dobrik who would have thought?

So wait what he was gone for two years, I wonder when the last time he posted was let's see I love it, dude. Yeah, David Dobrik, who would have thought? Push over the edge. He's an influencer. Uh-huh. So wait, what? He was gone for two years? I wonder when the last time he posted was. Let's see. He just had some unsavory relationships or something? Is that what it was?

It was, well, first it was like, he's big, he's got this like kind of crew that's in all of us, you know, kind of like a YouTube-ish sitcom or like you're used to seeing the same people even though it's his channel. And one of those guys was a bit of a perv ball. So you get kind of like canceled adjacent. We're like, did you know this? And we're propagating him up, you know, like stuff like that.

But then there was a real bad incident where he like, they were doing a stunt for his video, and David was kind of like overseeing it. It was his video, his vlog, a guy got hurt really bad. They were doing this dumb thing with like a crane. And anyway, David was one operating the crane and like hit this guy in the eye really bad.

This guy is like still not recovered. This is probably three or four years now. Like is still having surgery and they've just kind of had a tumultuous relationship. A lot of he said said, you know, it's like I don't know who like a guy with a crane Yeah, just just the classic YouTube story. Mm-hmm So they have been very at odds and seems like the internet kind of took the other guy's side a little bit And so David just stopped posting over here. It says yes last post was two years ago on YouTube before that so So. And then

he just posted. March 29th, 2022. He's came back. So almost three years. Yeah. Almost a three year break and then just all of a sudden, yeah, it comes back and it's just, wait enough time, people kind of chill out like, ah, it's Dave. He's probably good now. Time heals all things. Everything. Man, that's fun. So yeah, we'll see. I think even the podcast is a good accountability too. I don't want to have to get on here

and tell the podcast I stopped working out. For sure. So it's like, dang. Yeah, that 100%, the accountability, like whatever, in whatever form it takes. So yeah, well that that's a lot exciting Jake. I have things that are not exciting Oh, come on. Come on. You think you think that's boring. Let me find this post from old Laura and will height Hating on us not truly, but I do remember seeing that kind of funny

on us, not truly, but. I do remember seeing that. It's kind of funny. Here's Facebook again, just being so easy to find things on. Search engine is terrible. Basically, it said, back in the day, five years ago, Jake and Brad used to talk about exciting things. Man, a lot of fun people posting stuff on here. And now they're just talking about

nothing, nothing exciting. And I'm like, okay, you think that's boring, Laura? How about this? You think that's boring? What do you got for us? And you have to be really excited no matter what I say. All right. I've been getting a little bit into tea recently.

Rachel has also been making me tea because my throat. Yes. I texted her yesterday. I was podcasting to Tray and I said, I love when you make me tea. I just love it. It's awesome. It makes me tea all the time.

Yeah. What kind do you have? Dude, a few different kinds. So there's this place called Savoy Tea Company. Now you think that's boring. Tell me more. Yeah, buddy. It's in Lenexa City Center.

It's like a tea shop instead of a coffee shop. Been there a few times. They have one that's cinnamon orange flavored. Okay. Brother, not bad. Ask me what kind of tea I have. What kind you got? No clue.

No clue. I got a lady who makes it for me. So it's pretty fun. Yeah, I bought Catherine some tea from this place, sleepy time and then the cinnamon orange, whatever. Yeah, but most of the time it's just whatever, whatever works, whatever's in there. I don't hate it. I'm not acting like I drink it all the time, but I'm drinking every once in a while. Yeah. That pretty exciting? She did. Rachel's concoction is a little tea, a little honey

for the throat. Sure. And then she'll get a little crazy. She'll toss in some apple juice in there. Okay. It's awesome. Dude, cinnamon orange, just straight up. And it's, you think, you think surely there's sugar right here, surely there's something going on. It's like, nope, just strong, good cinnamon orange tea. That's awesome.

Anyway, getting a little, just a little bit into it. Honestly, not a whole lot. I'm right there with you. So you think that's boring Catherine I have a heated blanket on our bed and guess what it has two different heat zones So we can control our own heat How exciting is that that's pretty neat? It's pretty fun you you're like I know I'm gonna go to bed in 30 minutes turn on the heated blanket on my side To whatever you can that's the thing it can go from one all the way to H,

which is high, which is after nine. So people will call it 10 maybe. One to H. It even has a preheat button on there, where if you press it, it'll just get really hot for 15 minutes or so, and then go back down to whatever you originally had it on. Preheat's nice.

I gotta look at, I bought Rachel something like three years ago, a heated blanket, we don't use it. I gotta get that on there. I bet it gets cold. I'll say this though. Sometimes I don't like the coils on my body They're like they're not coils, but like it's like a you know, it's a snake. Yeah So all right, that pretty exciting. Yeah, it's awesome. You think that's boring Hey, I put down some hard paper on the ground for our home renovation project and I've actually found it to be a nice answer for snowy shoes when you come inside. What's hard paper?

It's like this like stuff you can buy at Home Depot. It's just like it looks like card or just like a roll of paper, construction paper, but it's just a little bit thicker. And it's like supposed to protect your floors and leak proof and all this stuff. And so I had some and I put it down and man, has it been nice when you're getting out, coming back inside, just put your snow stuff right there

on the hard paper. That's nice. Isn't that exciting? Yeah. Thank you. Actually, that's pretty boring. Oh, well, hey, you think that's boring? This is the last one.

Catherine has recently started scheduling her loads of laundry at night. So she goes to bed, but she doesn't want to have a washed load in there for four hours, just wetly just being in there. So she schedules it for a little bit later in the morning, you know, late morning. I taught Rachel how to do that with her dishwasher. Oh, I always do on the dishwasher. Because Rachel's one of her favorite past times is right before we sit down to watch a Netflix show, get that dishwasher up and running.

Dude. Yeah. Bane of my existence. I'm like, Hey, I wonder if there's a delay setting on it. Rachel says, I don't know. I says, let me take a look. What do you know? Hey, yeah, it's awesome. Oh, I'm a big fan of, yeah, middle of the night. You do have to be careful if you're doing both, it's awesome. Oh, I'm a big fan of, yeah, middle of the night. You do have to be careful if you're doing both at the same time though,

running the dishwasher and the laundry. What's, is that good enough? Are we getting enough hot water for both? I don't know. Things to talk about in marriage, Jake, keep it spicy. I don't know, keep it spicy. So you think that's boring, Laura? Hopefully you're real intrigued by all that.

Pretty neat. Anything else? I organized my closet the other day. Got rid of some things. Really? Yep. Put some of my shoes I don't wear very often in the garage as my work shoes.

Haven't touched them since. Pretty neat. Yeah. Still use the ones in my closet for work shoes. So I don't really know why I did that. You think that's boring? Which I don't. Parks and Rec, I hate to say it, no longer doing it for me.

Oh, tell me where you are. I don't know if this is a common sentiment among Parks and Rec's watchers, but I'm in like season six. Andy's not there anymore. Andy's out in London. Oh, yeah, that's when it, it's not going downhill, but yeah, is that the last season? I don't know if it's the last, there might be one after one,

I think it was season seven. Does Andy come back? Yeah. Okay, good. Well, surely, right? Like you see in the last season of Puxer, right? Okay. Yeah, he's in all the seasons. But yeah, he hasn't been there like four episodes.

It's not that funny. There's always one kind of minor character or like second tier character that gets really popular from a TV show. Like Ed Helms in The Office. And it's just like, okay, I guess they're not, they're doing other things probably. Sorry, that's not doing for it.

I just think, do you think in general, and I don't know if this is my own mental Feeling or if it's truly true, but it feels like every show the last season or two just always falls off a Little bit. Yeah, I watched like that many sitcoms. I mean breaking bad finished. Well, I thought Seinfeld finished well But I don't have a ton of like shows that I've seen all the way through to know if they end poorly or not This would be one of those things where like if someone were to comment and tell me like oh, you know this this and this writer All left after season five. I would say that makes sense. Okay Yeah, it seems like it's not written that well

Everything's cheesy and perkins is so her dialogue is awful been why its dialogue is awful. Really? Yeah I still liked it all. I I can't remember exactly what part, have you done the Unity concert? I don't remember Unity concert. Okay. Unity concert, I think it was great. I enjoyed all that stuff, but I'm sorry that's not. Like when Andy was-

The London thing is like not great. When he was in London and he found out that that really important guy was basically the British version of Andy. Yeah. That was so funny. Yeah. But then ever since then.

He hasn't really been in the- He's not there and yeah, it's been like a week, like three or four episodes. So you just need Andy. Yeah. Or I need the other characters to bring it. Yeah. Step up. Yeah. One like quirk of Parks and Rec that I've noticed is like, it kind of bothers me. Like Tom does not treat Ron like he's raw. like these characters will never treat anyone like they're Like Tom's like hey, if you're gonna get in there and talk to him You got to make sure you say like hey giga dee-gee-dee swag, whatever I'm like, I'm not going to say that and it kind of bothers me It's like Tom. You got to know who you're talking to like even you're writing that you can't at a certain point Tom's gonna grow up and learn you can't expect Ron to talk to these people that way sure kind of bugs me

It's it's like yeah Okay Well, we're still watching it though Beast games though. Be skating. Hey, it's Thursday new one comes out. Oh, baby What are you tonight? You guys wanna watch it together? Maybe yeah, I don't know what I'm doing tonight. That'd be fun Have you really fun? Yeah, I'm I don't know if anybody else is watching it out there, but we're enjoying it. Catherine is enjoying it more than I am for sure. Like I've kind of watched it. I've had it like in the background,

like multiple times when I'm doing these home projects, I'll just have it like listening while I'm doing stuff. So I don't even really know the characters that well. Whereas Catherine like knows the guy's names, you know, or whatever. Oh, Jeremy. Yeah, Jeremy, that's one of the guys names, right? The Christian guy.

Yeah, we talked about it a little bit already, but like that one time they had an opportunity to like have a million dollars and also stay in the game. And all four of them said no. That's wild. To a million dollars and to get to stay in. Maybe I'm a worse person than those people, but I would totally take the money. It would be tough,

like knowing how many eyeballs are on you, like who are gonna watch this show. And yeah, literally. And you gave those people your word, I'm not gonna get you out of this. That's fair, that's fair. I didn't watch that part very much. Like did they say like,

I'm definitely not gonna take it? Like they kind of voted a captain. Okay. And this captain, you know, they voted him because it was under the understanding like, yeah, hey, who is the best person to not take a bribe here? And so like 50 people said, you're our guy. Yeah, okay.

Maybe, maybe I couldn't do it then. I don't know. Like there would be something- But a million dollars is crazy. I, yeah, is having a million dollars worth knowing that there are 50 people out there that will never like you again? You know what I mean?

The nice thing is the 50 people who hate you, they're out now. They're not seeing them, but you just know they're there. It would be very tough for the moment. Because like the fan thing, like the people watching on TV, that doesn't faze me too much. So like those people aren't thinking twice about you

in a week, you know what I mean? But like the people that I know are like specifically, like I could watch them be very disappointed in me the minute I press the button. That would kill me. That would be terrible. And there's not like they would just like quietly turn around to walk away.

Okay, I get it. They'd probably say some words to you that you never forget as you're spending your money on a jet ski. So many jet skis though. I don't know. You're right. Now that I'm thinking about it a little bit more,

I'm like, I would also feel like I didn't earn this at all. You know, I just won a million dollars for no reason. You're thinking, well, half that after taxes. That's not even anything. Yeah. 500,000. That 500,000, I don't even get out of bed for 500,000. I don't know. Yeah, it's a good show. It's a great show. It's people talking.

It's very interesting. Just social experiment show. Yeah, a lot of mind games. Yeah, more than more than physical stuff so far, really. Yeah. Although this episode hide and seek about to get physical, about to get physical. Pretty fun. Navy SEAL backflip. Pretty fun. Yeah. Talk about a show that grips you.

Oh, it grips. Grip's you real nice. Sometimes we'll be watching a movie and the first four minutes are just credits or just B-roll. And I just think, oh, grip me. And I think Mr. Beast would never. And then it's nice getting to watch this. Like that's what I'm talking about.

Rachel hit an all time high of just crazy, crazy girl sleeping the other night. So, you know, I've talked plenty

about how she talks in her sleep. She kind of wakes up. She gave this guy two thumbs up for Merry Christmas a few weeks ago. Yes. Weird stuff. It's always hilarious, always kind of freaks me out. This time on the couch, just like two nights ago,

she went back to back. First one was just like, I thought she said, make an album. What? Pack an album. Kind of smiling at me. I was like, I don't know what you were saying.

She said, are you picking all of them? I was like, oh, no, no, I don't know what you were saying. She said, are you picking all of them? I was like, oh, no, no, I don't think so. She's like, you gotta pick more than one. I was like, all right, all right, I'll do a couple. And she's like, all right, smile, let's go back to sleep, no idea what that's about. Then probably just like two minutes later, she gets up and is just kind of like annoyed.

She's on the couch, fell asleep, looking under a cozy earth blanket, like what, what, what's underneath? And like, what, what are you talking about? What do you think is underneath? You know, try to play along. She's like, what's on my toes? And I was like, I'm just like laughing.

Like, I don't know. I don't know what's on your toes. And then it seems like she kind of like comes to a little bit. She realizes she was dreaming. She looks at me and she's like, you love when I wake up. I'm like, yes, she's like, you're always laughing when I wake up, like it's so funny

what you're saying in your dream. And then I think we're having a real conversation. You think you're good. She's back now. It's like dementia patient, like had a moment of like, oh, we got her. Yeah, yeah. And then she slipped back into it. Cause I'm like, I really thought we were smiling.

We were laughing. You're always laughing and waking up. Yeah, you're saying crazy things. She's like, so, but seriously, are you going to draw one? I was like, what? She's like, well, you have to draw one and then you have to draw on the symbols. I was like, I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. She played Mahjong. And then, oh, maybe it was a Mahjong. And then she just went back to sleep. And I just got to sit there and wonder what the heck she's talking about. She went back to sleep just right there.

Right, immediately. Yeah, she's not fazed. It's insane. I don't know how she could go in and out of that like that. Does it ever scare you a little? Luckily, she's always in a good mood. Always smiling, always just like, even if there's something on her toes,

she's usually like, oh, what is that? Get that off of there. If she was mean or something though, that would freak me out. Yeah. Yeah, she's always happy. She's never like- Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

I love the idea of her like messing with you. Maybe for, yeah, a year and a half now. Dude, I had a buddy, it was my friend Casey, who I, yeah, listen to the podcast. Casey, clear out these details because I don't know, I don't know if I'm telling you exactly right, but I think he did fake sleepwalking for a long time with his mom. Like growing up. So good. To the point where like, like I think he told me like the one, the image I have in my head

is vividly him taking a broom from his kitchen and sweeping the ceiling. And his mom just going, Casey, you're asleep, you're asleep, Casey. And Casey just like messing with his mom over and over and over again. That's amazing. So what if Rachel's just like,

I'm gonna pull this like elaborate prank on Jake. It's the wildest thing I can say. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. That's so wild. It's fun wildest thing I can say. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. That's so wild. It's fun though. I still keep the journal, keep a note on my phone of all the weird things she says.

So it's just fun to always. You ever got on video? Add to it. No, my mom got me a wise cam for Christmas though. So we could. Cause the magic really happens in the first 30 minutes. So once she falls asleep, I should just get it going right then.

So maybe, yeah. That's so wild. Does she do it in her nap sleep or is it only at night? I think it's only at night. Interesting. Yeah, but it seems to be early. So she'll do it on the couch. Yeah, she'll do it wherever.

But yeah, it's before she gets into a deep sleep the dreams are firing so so wild dude pretty fun so fun we celebrate it oh kind of win of the week this kind of course we celebrate 11 years of barrage this past week Wow crazy melting pea melting pea baby all right went the day before the snowpocalypse. So apocalypse was on our, on our anniversary. So we went the day before and got there. They had 11 with a heart in rose petals. I was like, wow. Wow. They asked me like, are you celebrating a special anniversary? I was like, yes, we come here every year for anniversary and 11 years. And there we were. Wow. That's pretty fun. Sandals would never.

Sandals would never. But yeah, it's just a sweet time. I strongly encourage anybody to like, it doesn't have to be melting pot, obviously, but like find a place where you can like be very relaxed in a dinner and like go slow and like have an intentional conversation. I don't know, it's just a fun, like I love that.

Every year our anniversary like is just a good excuse. Like it's in the beginning of January so we can like talk about our year behind year ahead kind of thing. And yeah. Most of the time I would say we have a pretty healthy conversation. There's been a few years where it's like, we get too much in the details of what we want to do. And we're like, well, how are you going to do that? We're like, we can afford that. But this time it's just like, no, it's just dream. There's no wrong answers. Let's just talk about every big ideas.

Hey, you want to take any big bets this year? Yeah, yeah. Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Yeah, let's go to China. So it was just a sweet, yeah, fun time. And nothing, nothing really crazy about it. It's just melting pot. So good, dude. We got it. You ever been still know? I'm waiting for my 11th.

Oh, yeah. 11 got it. You ever been still know. Oh, I'm waiting for my 11th. Oh Something special. Oh the cheese is that it's all so good So good, so that's fine. Congratulations. Thank you 11 years strong 11 it feels like 10 is like kind of a lot like 15 though feels like you're like an old married couple Yeah, like you're getting there, you know, yeah, so I love it. Yeah, 11 just like we're just we're in it real solid. We're here. Yeah, so okay Good one of the week. Yep. You know what? I'll do my one of the week right now At the beginning of the year Here's what I'll just say first and foremost. I don't normally place

Wagers or bets of this magnitude, but it was a no brainer. I bet $100 on the Chiefs to score a touchdown every game. And I was gonna win like $170 from that. It's like, oh my gosh, this is awesome. No brainer. So I went in the week, football season's officially over and happy to announce that in the last game of the year,

the Chiefs wrested their starters, and Carson Wentz owes me $170. It was a win of the week fake out, because they wouldn't let me cash out. They knew, Vegas knew. They wouldn't let you cash out? I looked constantly, weeks leading up to it. I was always, oh yeah, I keep forgetting,

I had that $100 bet. That's gonna be so fun at the end of the year. Of course the Chiefs will score a touchdown every game. And yeah, the Chiefs had too good of a record. They didn't even need to play the last week. So they played a ton of backups and didn't score a single point. 38 to zero.

Yeah, so I'm trying to find Carson Wentz's Venmo. I'm gonna Venmo request him 170 bucks. His kids go to preschool with my cousin's kids. That's good. Can you, can we? I'm sorry, I got a connection. Yeah, yeah. I know exactly, I can tell you that,

you want me to tell you the name of the preschool on there? Tell me everything you can. Can we call the principal or like, hey Carson, there's an emergency. Somehow get him on the phone, Michael Scott style. Great, yeah. Emergency A, emergency B. Gotta get to the kids.

Yeah, he has the money to pay you off, right? So that's my win of the week. That is a bummer. The Chiefs went 15 and one. You were watching that game like a hawk, I'm sure. Come on. Just one, just one just like, happened to just like run a kickoff return to the 30

and then we have a few good plays. I didn't even really consider it too much of a possibility because in hindsight, I should have hedged and found some bet for the Broncos or the Chiefs scoreless. Yeah, sure. That would have been awesome. Sure.

Bet 10 bucks on that and probably win 100. Yeah. Should have. Dang. That's okay. You were like, I saw my phone and you were like saying all these different bets you were doing, like Sunday,

like doing all these different things. I was like, we are having different Sundays. because that was the day I was just like sweating in my basement watching chiefs a little bit and they just look terrible. Yeah. I actually got to watch a football Sunday for the first time in several weeks, but hey, we'll talk about a picture on no problem. Um, about all the notes I have here, Jake, I do have a random note that says shout out to sign in with Google. Oh yeah, that's great. What a I have here, Jake. I do have a random note that says, shout out to Sign In with Google.

Oh, yeah, that's great. What a great feature. I am so relieved. I don't have to sign, like, log in to every single My Fitness pals of the world where it's like, I don't want to create a new account for this. Yeah. And I'll tell you, My Fitness Pal, Sign In with Google.

I know. It's awesome. Everywhere. It feels like it's almost like Apple Pay where it's like more of an exception Than not to not have it on there, you know, I would say sign with Google Apple Pay Apple Pay and The text auto filling when you get a six digit text code hundred percent that's out there top three like software inventions. Yes I'm trying to think of any other ones. But yeah. QR code, just automatically working on your camera.

That's convenient. Yeah, but it opens in Safari. What you do, it's a workaround for you. Do you have the Google app? I have the Google Chrome. That might work too. I use the Google app and they've got a camera button on the right side.

And then it'll open in Chrome. Okay. Yeah. Are you a, yeah, are you a Google app, not a Google Chrome guy? I got both. I know, but which one do you use like to browse? So Google Chrome is where I like to go, like I need to reserve a quarter chicken and pickle.

Hey, Laura Anne, you're welcome for this. This is what people pay money for right here. And we're giving it to you for free. All right, go ahead, Jake. In my head, it seems like they're very different things. I use the Google app to Google. I need a quick search. How much has he used Baby Blue Ford Bronco cost?

Real quick. Oh, not as much as you think, 22,000? Well, okay. I got a reserve of course. I got to enter in credit card information. I got to check the tracking of this FedEx shipment. I got to just like truly peruse a website. Like a, I'm gonna go fridaypickle.com.

I'm gonna do that on Chrome. Okay, interesting. Cause like they kind of are the same though, right? Kind of, I feel like Chrome just does a better job of saving my tabs. So if it's anything that I might wanna ever go back to. It's all about the tabs. Oh, it comes from a tab standpoint.

It's all about the cones. You know that reference yet? No. No, man. You there are some good parks and rec. All right. All right. It's all about the cones.

Yeah. Okay. So the tab the tabbies. I like tabs. Yeah. How do you use Chrome versus Google? Well, I had both and I just now just use Chrome always. That's a decent workaround.

Oh, hey, Chrome does have the has the camera on the right side too. So you can do it. Yeah. That's a decent workaround. Oh, hey chrome does have the as a camera on the right side too, so you okay? Yeah? All right Yeah, I remember the Google app and realizing like this is kind of just like browser for them Like you can use it as a browser and sounds like so for a while. I use that you're right It is looking a lot like the Google app Does it have I don't know if you ever use this but every now than chat GPT is down He's kind of swipe over Jim and I oh

I I've seen it. I don't know where I've seen it. Maybe I've seen it on my computer somewhere I've heard of Jim and I all right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard of Dobrik or Jim and I Every time or every once in a while chat GPT just doesn't work It's just down just like you know sometimes Instagram is down or something like that. Yeah, it goes down right on then. Yeah, I don't love the Gemini or whatever, the AI Google thing, but I also use it every time. So maybe I do like it, you know what I mean? Oh, when it like populates summaries for you.

The first thing that comes up is always the thing I listen to. Yeah. Yeah, Google has become, made us even more lazy. Where it's just like, I'm just gonna listen to the first thing they say on here. It's always the thing I listen to. Yeah. Like it's, yeah. Google has become, made us even more lazy. Where it's just like, I'm just gonna listen to the first thing they say on here. It's great. So.

I'll go ahead and empty the tank real quick before we get into the questions. I wrote down in my notes, pinching butt. Every now and then you'll hear of these like, like sexual assault allegations, or just stories of just like creepy people or creepy old men, yeah, I never really liked him He like whenever I was like a high schooler and taking tennis lesson. He would always like pinch girls, but you hear about this, okay who?

Who's pinching butts? Oh and You're not pinching butts. Let me let me rephrase. Why are we pinching butts? I don't doubt that it's happening I like creepy old man a pinching butts? I don't doubt that it's happening. There's a lot of creepy old men. Pinching of the butt? Do you like that? I would never pinch a butt. Like what is it, March 14th? It looks like you're changing channels right now.

I'm changing butts. Yeah. March 17th, not wearing green. Oh, gotcha. That's what I imagine. I think pinching in general is kind of hard to do. And you're not getting anything. That's what I'm saying. Like that. Like if I went and grabbed,

if I wouldn't grab any part of your body right now, I'd have a hard time really pinching or even knowing like, how do I say this? Define pinch because are we talking like, let's say, let's say this cup is a bot. Is this a pinch? Oh, now that's fun. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. If that's a pinch, not bad. Lock me up. But if I'm trying to just kind of almost hurt them

with a pinch, that's tough. That's what I'm imagining it being, is like, yeah, this creepy old guy, I don't want to walk past him. Not because it was creepy, it just, it hurt. It's like I was getting pricked. It's like you're trying to find, you have a big stack of papers and you're trying to just get a few of them. That's what I imagine a pinch being. That's what I was getting pricked. It's like you're trying to find like you have a big stack of papers and you're trying to just get a few of them.

Like that's what I imagine a pinch being. That's what I'm thinking too. I'm like, why are all these made up sense of pinching butts? I don't know. Get yourself a handful buddy. Get yourself a nice lady. Yeah. Double scoop.

Come on. Pinching? Pinching bums. I don't know why that popped in my head this week. And I was like, what is the deal with pinching bums? That's funny. Yeah. I don't know why that popped in my head this week. And I was like, what is the deal with pinching bums? That's funny. Yeah. I don't know.

I never have. I never have. Maybe we're missing out on something. I don't know. Or pinching my own first. I hate being pinched. Yeah. It's not fun.

Hate it. Like you could punch me and I'd be like, dude, please don't punch me. You could pinch me and be like, let's throw down right now. I will. I will take you outside. So don't punch me. You could pinch me and be like, let's throw down right now. I will take you outside. So don't pinch me. Do not ever pinch me. Okay? Last thing, empty in the tank.

Please. Have you heard, Nobrick, this is even bigger than that. The honey scam. Have you seen this? Yes! Okay, I was just saying, I feel like that title thumbnail is everywhere and then all these other people are making videos about it.

So here's what I understand. It's crazy. Basically, like you use an affiliate code, but then if it has, if you have the Honey extension, that affiliate code goes away and it goes to Honey instead. Is that right? Yeah. It's pretty cool.

Like YouTube journalism is getting really good. Like, you know, people are spending months and months and months to make one 15 minute YouTube video that takes down a billion dollar company. It's pretty sweet. So basically, I'll just give you guys the overview. One, I don't know if in five and a half years, if I've ever told anyone on this podcast

to not support something or to uninstall something, but legitimately you should uninstall Honey. I've had it for, who knows, 10 years now as a Chrome extension. Like, yeah, if it could find me deals, whatever. Yeah, like Brad said, Honey is owned by PayPal. In what they do, this guy found that like, yeah, make sure you enter in my promo code,

my this, my whatever, use my link. Honey runs in the background, it's like, let's see if you can find me more deals. It's like, yeah, okay. It says, ah, couldn't find any. As it does that, it replaces the promo code, the affiliate link with PayPal. And so it says like, then they get a kickback

even more from these websites. Instead of the creator, the affiliate person, whatever. And a number of other like different skeebie little purve things, but yeah. Mainly it's just like, there is no point in having honey. Don't use it. Is there one that you can use that's better? I don't know.

I know GRKC will do just fine. Yeah, all the good things. Don't even worry about Chrome extension because I have one I think that's like capital one or something like that Let me see what's calm Mmm, honey. No, I'm just getting capital one shopping. Okay, every once in a while finds me stuff. Yeah It's a that that's that's like a great feeling but also like kind of an infuriating thing when it's like it finds you something That saves you $80 on a large purchase and it's like why it finds you something that saves you $80 on a large purchase

and it's like, why aren't you just giving me the $80 off price to begin with? Yeah. You know, like why do I have to have this code? Like you're gonna charge me this, like some other sad sack that doesn't have this extension doesn't find this. Yeah.

Just kind of annoying. So it's pretty interesting videos out there. You guys wanna check them out for yourself? I'm glad I knew that. Yeah, go to YouTube. I'm proud of myself. Type honey scam. I don't even know how I saw it.

It's big. Okay. It's big time. Bigly. All right, we asked you guys to answer some questions. Ask some questions. This is just first one. Alessa Beck Morris,

what do you wish someone would make a movie about? Oh. Great question. Oh What's like a good? Story, I very much look forward to the Patrick Holmes documentary when his career is over. That's going to be awesome to relive I think so much should make a documentary about vine and the stars that it birthed people like Sean Mendes Jake Paul I mean

There's some massive massive people on there who did make it. And also a lot of people were huge who didn't. I would enjoy that. Like watching the people that were like- What's the difference? Crazy, huge, on Vine that like are now, I'd almost be more interested in that to be honest. Yeah.

Or the Trey Kinneas of the world that like took it and then just kept pivoting the right way. Yeah, you go to Facebook. Okay, now you go to Instagram. That's fun. When you said Patrick Mahomes, it made me think of the Royals run and how that was just magical to us. Fun two years. Yeah. Video movies. I don't know. I'm trying to think of things that they haven't made movies

about that are that I know about. So I know about most things. Yeah, I learned about it. That I know about so I know about most things. Yeah, I learned about it Have they done a airbud gymnastics movie, yes dang it Golden what is it? Pommel receiver So dumb That's a fun question. I wish I had an answer to it. I don't know. Kosh asked, who would win a fight?

Jake. Okay, I think I know what he meant. Jake with no arms or Brad with no legs? Oh, fun. What do you think? I think- Jake with no arms. So you're just running around.

I've got legs, which is huge. Huge. You only have arms. Then again, you're on the ground. I think I could, which is huge. Huge. You only have arms. Then again, I think I'm on the ground. I think I can take you down, dude. I think I could. I get to kick. Kinda.

But I can. All you're doing is just waiting on me to kick and then you grab my legs. I think arms are way more valuable than legs. And you're already got a low center of gravity. You have no legs. Oh yeah, I'm on the, where am I? Am I on a chair or am I down on the ground like wait some sort of see-saw I will say if I'm on on the ground. I think you get some good leverage with those kicks

I still think it's you though I mean even if I get a couple kicks at all it takes you grabbing grabbing one and just Swifting you down got me on the down and then what I do. I have no arms. I would stink that would stink I can't block a single punch That would stink. That would stink. I can't block a single punch. I have to get my legs out in front of you. Yeah, you're right. Arms for sure. In general, I don't think it's a Brad versus Jake thing.

I think it's a arms versus legs. It would be interesting, though. Like, yes, you have me on the ground and you can punch me as much as you want, but I do have a lot more of like body. Like I at least have a full torso and my legs. Also hard to get up though without your arms, right? Especially if somebody's pinning you down.

Just me kicking, yeah. You can roll, no you can roll though. You can roll pretty hard away from me. And then what am I, if now I'm compromised and you just start stomping, like jumping on me like a trampoline. I don't know. Maybe it would be closer than we think.

I think arms has the advantage though. Should we try it? Yeah. Okay. You gotta cut your legs off though, because that's how it works. Wow. No arms or legs is basically how you live right now, Kevin. Current favorite pair of shoes. Oh, my new balance, 1080s. Yep, always.

Figured you'd have an answer. What's one age that you wish you could go back to, but only for that year? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's 1080s, yep, always. So you didn't have an answer. What's one age that you wish you could go back to

but only for that year? Oh man, I mean, any of them. Choose one, I've had a great life. There's not very many years that are like, man, I wouldn't do that one again. I think it'd be so fun to go back and date Catherine again. That's fun. Like it's so, the first stages of dating are so fun, man,

and so electric. I think that'd be fun. I don't want to go back to high school because it's like too much responsibility. I feel like I have less responsibility now as an adult. Not truly, but like, I know, you know what I'm saying. But like, I was stressed about so many, like school and sports so much back then maybe maybe if I went back

I would have perspective and be like I don't have to worry about this Yeah, you know I mean but back then man I I was I mean I had good times But also like it was stressful interesting. I think about high school and about not having a care in the world. Mm-hmm I don't care. I don't have any stress. I think about high school and about not having a carer in the world. I don't have any stress, I think. Yeah, I did if I went back. But I think my choice would be either, yeah, 18 years old or the limo trip. Those would be two best years to get to relive.

Be really fun. Yeah, I'm going back to college. I would love to work at camp one more time. First year at camp? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Any year at camp. Any year at camp.

So fun. That's a really good question by E.Clair. What if you messed it up? What if butterfly effect though? Like, is there any butterfly effect? That's not worth it. What if I go back to my first year of camp where I met Katherine my second half of the summer and I say something wrong because I'm too comfortable with her.

Or I'm like, I'm like whatever, like too confident in myself. And all of a sudden- You start mentioning your kids way too much She's like this guy's freaking me out the heck. Yeah, he's pinching my butt. Yeah. He's also 34 years old Yeah, if the butterfly effect can happen then I'm not interested This is a question question we don't really get questions like this Describe what feelings and emotions come come up when you walk into a party. Okay. That's an interesting question.

Sure, a lot of people would answer this differently. I think I immediately scan the room, you get excited. You're looking for familiar faces, like who's someone I can immediately walk to, but also like who's here? What's the vibe? I'm taking notice of like what the baseline volume is. Is there background music?

Is that gonna be annoying? It's my exit strategy. But also more than anything, excited. There's opportunity a brewing. That's fun. I'm trying to consciously think about what I do. I scan the room everywhere I go. Always looking for somebody I know,

no matter, I could be in Wisconsin and be like, maybe you never know if there's somebody here I know. I noticed this when I first moved to Dallas. I would look up at Chick-fil-A and expect to see people I knew, and I was like, man, I don't know anyone. Why do I keep doing this? Bay, you expect it.

Yeah, it's just something, it's like a habit that I have. And maybe it's, I'm sure you growing up in an even smaller town than I did, saw somebody everywhere you knew. Yeah. So I'm sure I'm doing that. I think I'm a little bit shy when I first come to a party or like, depending on who and what the party is.

Hands in pockets, hey guys. Like what kind of party? I mean, it's just a party is so generic, but like, if I don't know a ton of people there, I think I'm a little bit more just like, scanning, seeing what kind of personalities we have, like, okay, is it a rowdy party that I can be rowdy or is it more of just like a chill?

Like, okay, we're just gonna have conversation here and just be kind of calm. You know, I don't know. Who's hanging out where? What's everybody doing? What kind of snacks we got going? Oh, we have drinks over here. Okay, great.

So I don't know, feelings and emotions. Yeah, I think I definitely gravitate towards like my security. If it's Catherine and I, like I'm definitely going there. She's your crutch. Yeah, feelings and emotions. Yeah, I think I definitely gravitate towards my security. If it's Catherine and I, I'm definitely going there. She's your crutch. Yeah, for a while. So anyway, yeah. Action Jackson asked, if you could switch bodies with one athlete for one day,

who would you pick? LeBron James. He said that's who he would pick. Gotta be. That guy can do anything he wants on the court. And it'd be so fun. Yeah, that is probably the best. Yeah.

I mean, what else would you want to choose? Even if someone could run faster or jump higher, it's still like he's just the best of everything. He could do anything. Yeah. I mean, maybe Victor Wimbenyama. That's who he said too. Really?

My pick would be LBJ or Wimby. Or he meant Lyndon B. Johnson. Oh yeah, maybe. Great lacrosse player back in the day. Or maybe Giannis, maybe basketball no matter what. Because we've all wanted to feel what it feels like to be able to dunk a basketball. Yeah, to do it so easily like those guys can Yeah

Yeah, it's probably LeBron. That's pretty fun Fun question it'd be let's let's do football though Would you want to do a little Kyler? I? Know he's so small, but he can freaking just it'd be so fun I just quicker than everyone you've you felt fun to- Just be quicker than everyone. You've felt this before. You've been quicker than everyone on a court before. I've never felt that way.

Where it's just like, that guy's coming really fast. I would just think, I'm in trouble. I need to lean into this guy and like hope I can truck him. Yeah, see that's the opposite. Cause I'm like, my first choice- Derrick Henry? Yeah, my first choice was like, pick someone like Justin Jefferson.

The more I thought about it, I was like, yeah, I want to feel something I'm not used to feeling. Yeah, Derek Henry, Mike Allstad. Mike Allstad. I never tried to run someone over. Never thought of it as an option. That would be fun to do. Just put your head down and just run someone over.

Yeah, like Lamar or Kyler. Kyler would be so funny, except you're just shorter. No, final pick, you know what it'd be? Ray Lewis. Okay. That would be fun. Just to be the scariest man on the field and you can light anybody up. That would be fun. Ray Lewis, the scariest man on the field and you can light anybody up. That would be fun.

Ray Lewis, Brian Rehlecker, even like Ed Reed, Eric Barry. That would be my choice. Someone like that. Safeties are fun. Cause they get to light people up. And back then they weren't quite as like protective of players. Sean Taylor, that clip of him lighting up the punter in the pro ball.

Yeah, in the pro ball. Okay, what about baseball? Let's just go through these. Aaron Judge, he's a little broad of a freak. Maybe, what's his name? Y'all. Shohei. Shohei Ohtani.

I wanna say Ichi. Shohei, Mike Trout? Who's the guy for the Reds? Crazy fast, crazy good. I don't know. That guy the Reds crazy fast crazy good I don't know that guy Reds yeah that's hers how much we know about Reds baseball player Oh Pete Rose Pete Rose that's a little money down on the game it'd be fun I don't know who that would be of Latino descent it's got dreads. Really? This guy? What's his name? Who are you? Ellie Dela Cruz. Yeah. Offered him. All right, now let's go bowling. All right, let's go

bowling. Pete Weber. Yeah, who do you think you are? Let's go black American gymnast. I'll go Simone Biles. Yeah, it's either her. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I mean, can I pick the same thing as you? Yeah, you can. Yeah. Okay. Simone Biles. That's good. All right. Next question. Lesbian daytime talk show host. I'll go Ellen. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. Nah, I don't know if I want any of them. Whoopie? Is she? I don't know. She shares my birthday. So I choose Whoopie. I'll go Whoopie.

Give me Whoopie. Give me Whoopie! Give me a little pinch of that Whoopie. Get over here. Whoopie. Get over here. Pinch of that whoopie. Let's see. What are your predictions for the Super Bowl? Coming to you on Patreon. Newsflash, it's already there.

Any plans for the girls to be back on the podcast anytime soon? We should have them. They're great. Of course. Always, we don't plan it much, but we would love to. It'd be sweet to have them

Action Jackson another question said ask time and if he needs anything in the basement. I'll door-dash him something That's funny Megan Pender is a unique question if you could have designed any existing logo, which would it be and why? That's fun could You could have designed. I mean, the coolest logo of all time, in my opinion, is Nike. Yeah. And so I don't try and think of other cool logos.

The best logos are also really simple too. So it's not like I can, it's not like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, like, wouldn't it be cool to say you did that? It's like, Adidas. know, what one is really cool. You know, let's go back to sports is Milwaukee Brewers. You ever checked out their logo? I can kind of imagine it, but yeah, it's a baseball glove, but it also is an MB.

Oh, that's cool. It's really cool. And you don't realize it at first. FedEx kind of cool. Yeah, I thought the arrow in it. Yeah. I may have talked about this before. I think it's funny how like not modern and not that great Starbucks logo is at this point. We know it's recognizable, but it's kind of like really detailed. It doesn't match like most logos. Kind of funny. That's not my pick. I don't hate Pepsi. I like the red, white and blue. Okay. I like that it's not, you know, I like little slippers. Yeah. Okay. I like Coca-Cola design. Oh, classic. Yeah. Like the cursive. Yeah. Yes or no.

Disney's cursive. Oh, I mean, I'm out on Disney's cursive. That D. I ain't never seen D like that. I don't want no D like that. I don't know, it's just hard. You're asking for Disney specifically or are you asking in general that font? That font that Disney uses when they're like. If we put Ghost Runners in that font, I'd be out. But Disney, it's perfect for Disney.

You know what I mean? I'm out, I don't like the D. Okay. Bad. Just the whole thing where they show the castle and they put the Disney, oh it's just cool. I'm trying to think, I'm going to look up the, what was the PlayStation logo? PlayStation.

Yeah, that was cool. PlayStation's kind of cool. It's like it's, the S is sitting flat on the ground and the P is like sitting up. Oh yeah. That is pretty cool. It stood the test of time. Good for them. All right.

A lot of cool logos out there. I'm sure we're not thinking of. Aaron with an A said, Brad looks like a string bean for, whenever they say FR, that's kind of how I think. For, for, for. Thank you, Aaron with an A.

Trying to get shredded. My friend Jake. Emily Brace. Love her. She had a dream that Brad- She drives a 4Runner. Blonde? Or maybe her husband. One of them. Isaac? She had a dream that Brad, you swore on the podcast and didn't bleep it out.

She also wants to know if there's any ghosty getaway info. That's bull. Shift head. She also wants to know if there's any ghosty getaway info says bull Shift head No ghosty getaway information, I'm sorry, I would love to love to have that sooner rather later Almost positive we're gonna do one. Oh, we gotta but no no information for you But you gotta come Emily yeah, Yeah. What's her husband? Is her husband named Isaac? Yeah.

I hope so. Yeah. I liked them. They're great. Love them. Know their names. They're awesome. It was Isaac, right? I can imagine them. Good looking, good looking bloke. They're great. They're gonna have... A couple of blondes. They're gonna have some beautiful blonde babies.

Yeah, let's just say, yeah. Hitler would have loved their kids. They're gonna need some sunscreen on that beach. I'll just say that much. But they're wonderful. Emily Brace, husband. True or false? Isaac.

Emily Brace in her Instagram bio has like all the different like two kids, boy, blue heart, girl. Do you know the answer or are you just asking? Oh, I thought you were looking at it right then. Oh, I'm on her Facebook. That's very millennial of us. I would've too. I don't know.

No, I don't know. I don't know either. How would, Scotty Phillips asked, how would you scam a scammer? I've thought about it. I've thought about, likety Phillips asked, how would you scam a scammer? I've thought about it. I've thought about like right now, like I'm still up in the air with this guy. He's asked me a few times like,

are you not receiving my texts and all this stuff? I wanna just like be like, yes, I sent it to you. If you're not getting, I don't know, like if you're not getting it, you need to send me that money back. I don't know how to scam someone. The best way I know how to treat a scammer is to waste their time.

Waste their time and just keep them on the string. Yeah, now that's fun. I like MainStreetRoasters.com, and I'm not afraid to say it. Tell me more about that. It's changed my life. In incalculable ways. You were watching mainstream roasters video when you started crying the other day,

driving your truck, weren't you? Yes. Wow. I don't know how they grind them so finely, but the way they treat those beans. The way they treat the beans. So humanely, yet so artistically delicate. It's just, I...

You've said enough. Your tears say a thousand words. Here's something I'll say with English words. It's winter time. There is no better time than to get you, your friends, your loved ones, your wife, your spouse, some mainstream roasters coffee. It's so cozy, it's so warm, take it however you want it,

bean form, ground form, K-cup form, it's all good. They've got a rewards program, they got perks points, they've got subscriptions, there's so many different ways that you can ingest Main Street Roasters and I'm not just talking about the coffee, I'm talking points, I'm talking dollars, I'm talking 10% off when you use GRKC. Take advantage of all that, pretty please.

Pretty please, thank you guys. Thank you. Let's see, I didn't have one ready to go Are you the type of person the people who always have a song stuck in your head and if so what? Yeah, i'm not I don't always have a song stuck in my head for sure. Uh, i'm trying to remember the one that was recently The one that's like the perpetual one Is a mute math song. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

but the one, oh, I remember the one recently. I don't even know this song very well. I don't even know how the whole thing goes, but there's a part of the chorus I know where it's like, I've been watching you dad and dad. And that's, I sing that over and over again. So this is so weird. Weird thing to say on the podcast.

So I woke up a couple of days ago with the word stuck in my head every now and then it'll happen. I've talked about it before. Okay. Yeah. What was the last time I talked about? Oh, Palisade was stuck in my head. What? Just is that happening?

Just what, what do you mean a word is stuck in your head? It's hard to describe. Happens regularly, often. That word is just coming to mind. Palisade, palisade. Yeah, you're just doing something else and you're like, that word's just in my head. Oh, interesting.

No, I can't recall. Well, that's not good. If you already think this is crazy, I don't even wanna tell you the word that was in my head. I don't even know if I should say it on the podcast. Well, let's go ahead and preface by saying palisade is completely random and it's been in your head before.

Thank you. Yeah, it seems like there's no rhyme or reason. It could be like dream base, like something I dreamed about. Or it could just be like the way it sounds, like palisade is a pretty nice eloquent word. So I could say, and I'm gonna say this word and people might jump to conclusions. It has nothing to do with anything.

I don't know if I've ever, I just had to Google it to see what it is. I know it's a lot of prep. I kid you not, two days ago, three days, whatever it was, this is when I was shoveling dustpanning. The word that was stuck in my head, I woke up with that day, was vast deference. Do you know that?

I've heard the word. See, it's so random. Like, why is it stuck in my head? Have I, last time I heard this was high school health? I don't know what it is. I know it's in me, but I don't know what it is. Oh, it's in you, baby. I know it's like a body part.

And that was stuck in my head like three days ago. Fun. So that happens. I can't believe I just said that. That was not, stuck in my head like three days ago. Fun. So that happens. I can't believe I just said that. That was not not in my notes. Not something I planned on saying on the podcast, but whatever. You have words stuck in your head.

And that was one of them. Yeah. Maybe once a week, I'll have words stuck in my head. OK, it's the end of the Wednesday episode. Anything goes. Emily Brace does not have the emoji. Well, yeah. White emoji hearts for Isaac

and her daughter and her son. Okay. Fun. Shout out Emily Brace. Tyman girlfriend update. Tyman? Don't be coy. Don't be coy, you little palisade.

Come on. You're in deference? What does that mean? Okay. All right, Mariah Garrett, this one's for you, Brad. Quick, make up a new instrument. Oh, a flanger, flanker, flanker schmock. Flanger schmock, yeah.

It's Eastern European and it sounds a little like this. Stop, I didn't do. It's a lot like a guitar, but instead of metal metal strings they use It's wooden. It's like a recorder wooden strings. Yep, just tiny little pieces of wood Worst movie of all time Hmm The only one I can think of right now the the movie Envy, I talked about it recently, Jack Black and Ben Stiller.

Worst movie, I don't really get mad at movies most of the time. Oh, there was one, there was like a robot movie back in the day that I remember thinking, that movie was not good at all as a kid. And like kind of being shocked by it, because as a kid you think every movie is fine. Every movie is usually good, right?

There was some movie. It was, it was like before I robot centennial man, or I don't know something like that. Heard it? No. Bicentennial man. Yeah. Bicentennial man with Robin Williams. 37% rotten tomatoes.

Not that bad. Anyway, didn't like that one. What about you? Last flight before Christmas. OK, terrible. Check it out. OK, pretty good. No question. Please give us more Beast Games commentary.

I already did. Not a question, but Brad is looking slimmer and it's bleeped out, but sexier than ever. Geez. From Thurbus. Geez, Thurbus. I love me some Andrew Thurbus. What a guy.

Check him out. He's got some great skits out there in the old Webbersodes. Interesting question. Could be hard to answer. What is saving your life right now? Can you answer funny? Can you answer serious? Whatever. My wife, always.

What is saving my life right now? Good question. I've really enjoyed reading. I don't know if it's saving my life, but like it's turning off other parts of my brain and like making me stress less and making me sleep better apparently. So that's fun.

I don't know if it's saving my life. Yeah. Any answer I give it like implies that if I didn't have this, I would be losing my life. But yeah, staying home more has been nice. Traveling has been great. How about remote star on the old car? Oh, saving your life. Oh, that's nice. How about an old push from a buddy?

You know what would is saving my life? Yeah. Push from a buddy was super helpful is just I've been pretty thankful every day like heater hasn't gone out Not that it's on the brink of going out, but just thankful the heater hasn't gone out. That's saving my life Yeah, it is. It's like amazing earnest. Yeah, how much we would miss that if it weren't there Especially with no fireplace. Yeah, I just get smoky in here real quick. Suck it up Especially with no fireplace. Yeah, I just get smoky in here real quick suck it up Number one piece of advice in navigating marital conflict Got it. You got it. I got something too. You ever had conflict. Honestly, I feel like Rachel like

I'm like do they ever get upset with each other? I'm like you guys just seem so happy. I I don't not from experience, but I was listening to a podcast the other day from a negotiation expert or something like that. And he was saying like, a couple of just like tactics that are always, can solve any conflict easier. One is like, and it's not gonna be, it's gonna blow your brains, but like come from a place of understanding.

If you can like almost like admit certain things early on in the conversation, like I thought you had a good point when you said this, however I feel this way. You know, you kind of, you toss a win their way. You toss like a, you were right about that. I will give you that. That was true.

Or I agree with that. I bought this. That's another nugget. Then the main thing was like, always coming back to like, what does a solution look like to you? What does a win in this situation look like to you? Like, are we going after the main thing was like always coming back to like, what does a solution look like to you? What is a win in this situation look like to you? Like, are we going after the same thing? Like, are we fighting about the oven? But what we want is just more time with each other.

Do we want the same thing? If yes, then let's go towards that. That's good. Those are those are great. To me, I mean, boils down, I think I've talked about this. I know I have on the podcast before, but there's the idea of loving and respecting like as men, it is so important to just love your wife well. And it's like biblical. It's like Ephesians five, but it's like husbands love your wives and, uh, you know, wives respect your husbands. Essentially, if you do those things, if either of you do that, it doesn't have to be both. Like if either of you do that well,

then you're gonna have a successful marriage. And so there's so many times where I just, I feel disrespected, so therefore my gut reaction is then to be like, I'm not gonna love her well right now. And it's just like, if I can get over that and just love her, because half the time it's like, she's not trying to disrespect me. She doesn't mean to do anything as extreme as it seems.

So I'm just gonna love her or just humble, like the conversations you're talking about, just be really humble and be like, listen, I know that I shouldn't be as frustrated as I am, but I am really frustrated about this. Just being like, I understand that I'm being a little bit irrational, but I'm just being real about what I feel right now. I think that helps to like make it so it's like not as much like personal,

like directed at them is more just like honest, let's just figure this out together kind of thing. And then a big thing for me is just like apologize quickly, like be like, sometimes I apologize within 10 seconds of saying something. I'm just like, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I know I didn't mean that, or I shouldn't have said that or whatever. So those are fun questions.

Long time. Brad, question for you. How long have you done intermittent fasting? What's the plan you use and how much have you lost? Oh. I don't know if he needs weight or just like what have you left behind? Yeah.

Like what's saving you? What's, I don't really want to talk about how much I've lost forever. So I, we don't need it. You got to wait till it's like a big number, big reveal, take your shirt off for, yeah. Dance around for me. Let me pinch it. Let me pinch that. I can't. There's nothing to pinch. We went 30 seconds ago. It was like marital. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like love and respect. Ephesians five. Let me pinch it. Yeah, let me pinch your butt That's the Ghost Riders for you No, I don't know. I not that I'm like, I don't know. I don't want to do it for the praise. So

More than one pound Yes, less than 200 pounds Yes. All right, figure it out. No, but I I'm not not, I am intermittent fasting a little bit right now, but overall I haven't been super intermittent fasting. I've been kind of like halfway, like where I, most of the time I don't eat late at night, like let's say eight o'clock or so, eight 30. I don't know. I'm not like super strict on that.

And then the mornings I've been having like a double, uh, portion of protein like shake. So it's like 40 grams of protein in the morning. And I think that's like 260 calories or something like that. I use organ protein. Oh, organ trail. Love that game. Organ trail. Yeah, you can die of dysentery if you eat too much of it.

Don't do over 60 grams. Catherine's not super crazy. Like Catherine loves the just ingredients is the brand that she likes. Check that out. I don't know. I like it though. And so yeah, that's like, but that's like all I eat for breakfast. And so that's like kind of my breakfast and I wait. I should start doing that. Yeah. It's not bad. I mean, it's a lot of protein. It'll fill you up well. And whatever gets you go. Cause the whole idea that I've heard of is like,

eat as many grams of protein as how much you weigh. Or how much your goal weight is, if you weigh a lot like I do. But like, yeah, that's just so hard to do, even if you're using supplemental stuff like protein powder and stuff. It's just like, I either have to have a 30 count of chicken nuggets and all this other grilled chicken

or whatever. You counting cows? Not right now. I mean, I never really counted my, yeah, I kind of did. I like logged all my food with- Yeah, I count them as I eat them. Yeah, brother. Yeah, I do Weight Watchers.

I watch my weight go up. Isn't that crazy that that was like a Jim McGaffigan bit? Like he was like, dude, and it like crushed. He's like, they're gonna love this. It seems so cheesy to me, but that was like a Jim McGaffigan bit. Like he was like, dude, and it like crushed. He's like, they're gonna love this. It seems so cheesy to me, but that was like a massive joke for him. No, I definitely like was watching my macros to an extent, but usually it was like,

as long as I'm eating the right things for my food, I don't really have to count calories as much as I need to hit the macros. Macros being protein, carbs, fats. I don't know. Right now, it's kind of like once you get it down, you're like, I kind of know what I can't eat. It's on limits. Yeah, whatever.

Like melting pot night, I was like, I know I shouldn't probably eat a whole lot before tonight because I'm going to go hard. So yeah, I can answer a lot more questions like that privately or publicly. I don't know. We'll start a fitness podcast. I also just don't want to like, I don't know. Like I said, I don answer a lot more questions like that privately or publicly, I don't know. We'll start a fitness podcast. Yeah, I don't want to like, I don't know.

Like I said, I don't want to, it's more like a personal thing to an extent than it is like, let me tell you everything about how awesome I am. Cause it's like, I'm still so far from where I want to be. And so the more praise I get, the more it's like, maybe I'm content where I am. It's like, no, no, no.

I'm like a lot of people starting weights. You know what I mean? Now that's a good joke about where you lost. Nate Barghazi's joke about that. He's like, my- I look pretty great for someone who's to weigh 300 pounds. Yeah, that is so good. I look like the guy at the end.

Or I look like, you said it, you had it. Good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, can't remember it. Anyway. All right, so we won't talk about that. Mitchell Bowser said string bean. String bean.

Just kidding. All right, this seems like a good one to end on. Oh, there are so many good questions. Courtney Miller, should you use your blinker in a roundabout? That's fun. Oh, I don't. Show Courtney Miller that she's my fitness gal.

Stop talking about it. Sorry. She's awesome I don't think I do. Oh, no, what's I'm leaving there out about yes, but not entering no I do want some leaving You do only if I'm like immediately turning right would I do it and even then I don't think you do I use it leaving Yeah, so you're telling me there's four different exits Gearing up for that next exit, yeah, yeah. Let him know. For a half a second, you turn that on.

Let him know. I think I do. I don't know. Not all roundabouts are created equal. Some of them have three lanes. Yeah. Some of them have a big open space with nothing in the middle of it.

Branson looking at you, do something with the middle of that roundabout. Oh my gosh. Really? You know the one like above Taney Como, like as you're going to camp, that massive roundabout by the two bridges that are next to each other?

Massive, yeah. Just a bunch of concrete. You want it to have like a decorative thing? Just put some in the middle there. That's Hollister's problem. Of course. Yeah. No, no, but you do need to understand like

when to yield and when to keep going. Like don't stop halfway through the roundabout. Like some people just don't know how to drive on roundabouts, American problems. A little more round than bout. I like this question. This could be one to end on. What's a subtle prank I can play on my husband?

Not gonna say who said it. It's fun. It doesn't. A subtle prank. I like the idea of like making him think he's going a little bit crazy. You could do the fake sleepwalking, fake sleep talking. You could go in, you can just Google this, but find out ways to create new keyboard shortcuts for someone next time.

Like during the shower, you have their phone. That's all you do is create a few keyboard shortcuts. Every time they type the word the, it switches to transformers three. Or not even that, or just Transform, or it just spells the wrong. T-E-H. Yes. Oh my, that would drive me nuts. Oh, I would struggle with that so much.

Or and, A-D-A or something like. Switch it to, yeah. I've swapped out, back in college, I swapped the contact name for a guy, a friend of mine, the girl he was talking to with mom. Like with his mom, just swapped the names in there. Wow. That's diabolical.

What about just like cutting a tiny little hole in all their socks? Just, but slowly. To where it's like, dang, I got kind of like, cause it's kind of annoying to have just a, and at first if it's just a small one, it's like, dang, I got kind of like, cause it's kind of annoying to have just a, at first if it's just a small one, it's like, I can live with this. And it's like, oh, I mean, that got kind of big.

I guess I need to throw the sock out. And it's like, how does this keep happening? And so then they start like trimming their toenails more often. They're not sure what's causing it. Whole time it was you. We've talked before, we love this prank. I think we've talked about this before.

When wives all get their husbands to wear the same thing at some gathering, that's pretty funny. Yeah. Or yeah, just anything like that, where it's just like, give them false information. Yeah. Maybe just, yeah, but just subtle enough where it's like, you can do it over and over and over again until finally,

you know. Like that whole time I've been doing this. I was like that up Yeah, that's pretty good. I like that question. I know I said his last one but I just keep seeing more good ones I'm having fun page said is Brad mad at me for ghosting him about a table page D LES e page D less page to less e I promise I don't even remember I Get ghosted so often. Well, she looks nice Brad. Come on. Wait, is she go? Paged Alessi. I promise I don't even remember. I get ghosted so often.

Well, she looks nice, Brad. Come on. Wait, is she, I'm ghosting her? Is that what she's saying? Well, I read it wrong, okay? But still the point stands, she looks nice. So reach back out. So it's me that ghosted her.

Is Brad mad at me for ghosting? No, I think she ghosted you. Oh, no, of course not. If I've ever not responded to you or if you haven't responded to me, I promise it's nothing personal ever. I don't, I just sometimes, the worst dude is when people send us the nicest, longest things and I'm like, I need to sit down and write out something for 15 minutes back to them. And it's like, I don't have, I don't have the time to do this right now. I'll get back to it. And then you lose it. It's like, where did that go?

It's, it's so hard. Yeah, it's tough. You can't just like double tap. Love the message. Oh, awesome. Thanks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you have to like reciprocate if it's if it's if it's a full page You have to reciprocate with at least half of a page You know two to one ratio and so often it just means I don't reciprocate at all and then I'm just a punk So I'm sorry if I've done that to you. Just know that it's something I'm always wrestling with like how accessible how available Should I be to people right? Do I owe it to people to be really available? I don't know.

I kind of signed up for this. I don't know. I think, yeah, me neither. Cause it's like. We're the first humans in history to have this problem. So it's hard to know what to do. First generation. I would like to respond more.

But at the same time, if I respond more, then I'm just on my phone and my computer all the time. And then you're not living life outside of there. Hey, wake up, there's a life out there worth living. Yeah, you see outside those walls, there's something called air that has to be breathed. Little thing called life out there. Respond to it.

Double tap on that. Double tap that. And give it a little pinch. Oh, we're pinching butts over here. You guys are great. Let's do a comment of the week. What do you say? How about it, how about it, how about it?

I saw one about, oh, this is one kind of for you, Brad, but Brandon Myers, been a loyal YouTube commenter for years, recognize that, that profile picture anywhere. I think he looks like Weston Weeby. He does in that picture. That's what I, I, in my head, I'm like, oh yeah, Weston Weeby. He said, I'm continuously amazed at how much I have in common with you guys. I feel like it's usually with Jake, but recently it's been with Brad. I've been recently getting into reading more.

We've been reading the same books and we've both been conscious of our technology usage and we've both been into the New York Times daily games. I always do many crossword and connections, although I'll do the other sometimes. Would love to get Brad in our mini crossword leaderboard somehow to have another person to compete against.

I've learned some new words through that too. I also do some geography daily games that Jake would probably like. What a comment. Love it. Just against. I've learned some new words through that too. I also do some geography data games that Jake would probably like. What a comment. Love it. Just fun. Yeah. I'm into it. If I can sign in with Google, I might. If not, I'm probably out.

Not interested. Yeah. I have such a, like there's such a fine line with the New York Times stuff. If it's too easy, I get sad. Come on. But if it's too easy, I get sad. Come on. But if it's too hard, I'm also like, dang, that was too hard. You know what I mean?

Like I'd rather be too hard than too easy. Because sometimes when it's really easy, it's like, great, let's try to beat my time. See if I can get another 30 seconds. I don't usually go for the, it's not usually a time thing for me. But maybe I should try to make it that way. I love the time. It's just very leisurely.

Becca Fields commented on our Facebook group, there's a picture of Henry, there's a picture of Casper. It says, okay, I hope this doesn't offend you, Brad, but Henry kind of looks like Casper the friendly ghost. Ghostwriter was special guest Casper the ghost. I will say he's adorable though, love watching him. And it is a great comparison. That was really funny.

Especially the angle, his head just looks so like, boomf. One time I posted a video of Henry to a group chat with my buddies, and one of my buddies sent the turtle from Master in Disguise. He was like, sorry, dude, but this is exactly what Henry looks like. I was like, I think that's hilarious. Someone else posted a screenshot of Hattie looking at the microphone kind of cross-eyed. So funny, dude, but this is exactly what Henry looks like. I was like, I think that's hilarious. Someone else posted a screenshot of Hattie looking at the microphone kind of cross-eyed. So funny.

I was like, I didn't notice that happening. That was so funny. I was like, oh, great. My daughter's a meme. So funny, dude. She looked awesome in it, though. She was great. I haven't listened to that episode with them yet,

but I'm sure they'll love it. So thanks for all the kind words about the kids. They're wonderful. They're my pride and joy. Yeah, it ain't much, but it's our family. Yeah, it's us, you know? This is us. Okay, we'll be back next Monday.

Join us on Patreon for a football podcast, talk about the playoffs, and we'll have Tymon back next week. He's finishing up my laundry right now in the basement, but we'll get him up We'll get him up.
