So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet. Cause it's a ghost from the spot cam. Ghost from the spot cam. There among them all you and Jake and grandma.

Ghost from the spot cam. Ghost from the spot cam. I'll compliment you Tyman. I just now noticed your, I like the dark blue jeans. Thank you. Dark blue baggies? Yeah. I think I would have worn my light blue, but I can't, I haven't been able to find them for several weeks. So what are you that messy of a guy? I don't know. I think maybe it's the fact that I like don't really do my laundry. I just like, cause I'm still just at home. So I just like,

it's all in the pile. Hopefully it comes back to me. And like, I don't know. Sometimes things just kind of vanishes Does your mom do it? Yeah. Wow. Mom does 10 people's laundry? I mean, there's like, I mean, we'll help fold and like stuff, but not like the main bulk of it, I guess she does. How does, do you know the logistics? Can I ask you more questions about the laundry thing?

I am curious. I'm nervous. So you think that's boring. I know, I'm very curious. Cause like, for a while it was like, let's try to like put all Rosie stuff in Rosie's dirty clothes and all Henry stuff and now just like just find a dirty hamper and just throw it in there and we just you think that's what you guys do or do you think it's like this is a load for time and I know this is all time and clothes. It'll be like, uh, we all have a place upstairs. Cause like all the kids are upstairs. So we have a big like pile and then it's Jesse's responsibility to like carry that down every morning. Every morning. Yeah. And then a pale milk or something. He's like a modern chores. Yeah. You got to hike down the modern milk pail. And then, uh, mom does the laundry and

then like, well, a lot of times help fold or I mean, like not as much as we probably should like, but then it'll be like in individual people's like clothes. Your mom asked us to bring this up and was hoping you would kind of take accountability. Yeah. So that's great. Do you have a daily chore? Um, I mean, just besides like grinding, make it, make that money.

Yeah. Bring that paper in. I don't know. Get that scrilla maybe Just like general cleanup stuff not like a fun thing like carry down the laundry. Oh, you would be willing to trade for carry down the laundry mmm, maybe Does anyone else have like a signed duty like every day do this I mean Milan what's my line up to? What is Mylan's thing?

I'm not sure. Sing a song around the breakfast table. I think Alice's might be like just something with the bathroom, just like general, like tidy the upstairs bathroom. Unclog. Every day, every day you got to unclog. We're not, we don't have a plumber. He's have Alice. It can get kind of crazy though, cause it's all of us kids with one bathroom up there. So it's like it can't get crazy. Yeah, it can Wow Thanks for preparing that time in two weeks in the in the making that that was yeah That was pretty cool. It's good. We can we could roll it right after I hate you guys. We wanted to I hate you guys Yeah, great. Let's get into it like we are now like we are now Wow, here we are. We're here. Yeah timing good to have you guys. Yeah. Great. Get into it. Like we are now. Like we are now. Wow. Here we are. And we're here. Yeah. Timon, good to have you back. Thank you. Um, are

you your Gen Z? Yes. What? Right. How is good to have you back too. Thank you, man. Yeah. You're a millennial. I am a millennial. And before Gen Z came along, I was sad about like people are really hating on millennials. I'm fine with it now. Wait, why? Because I think back in the day, they're like the new punching bag. Yeah. Millennials like I think are kind of like, I mean, yeah, they're, they're not the best, but they're not Gen Z. Like they're not going to burn this country, the ground anymore. Once Gen Z is. Gen Z ate their first Tide pod pressure resolve monkeys off our back. Was Jin Z Tide pod. Yeah Okay, that's the main like the first Jin Z stereotype was the Tide pod like we had the food pyramid

They had the Tide pod. Yeah pod pyramid. Yeah, is that just gonna be a new thing though with every like new generation They get hated on is that just how it goes? Yeah hundred percent great I like talk to like my grandparents about it like oh, yeah We were like called like lazy and entitled. Yeah. And like now they're the hardworking generation. We were called lazy and titles. Oh, but those guys, those guys. Oh, my gosh. Well, they just work for themselves and like crowdsource things and

sort of go fund me page. No, I brought up your BGZ because we're recording this on Thursday, January 16th. As of now, if nothing changes between now and Sunday, what happens, Brad? How bricked have you been? Between, oh, I know it. TikTok is going away. Is going away.

TikTok's going away. But kinda, tell me more about it. Because from what I understand, if you have it on your phone, it's not just gonna be like, whoa, what happened to TikTok? No, it's exactly what's gonna happen. No way. Yeah, in the United States, it's not just going to be like, whoa, we're what happened to tick tock? No, it's exactly what's going to happen.

No way. Yeah. In the United States, you will not be able to like access tick tock. Oh, I thought it was like, they're no longer going to maintain and like, uh, yeah, like they're not going to update it, but like you still could look at tick tock if you want. Yeah, no, it's, it's gone. Yeah. I've heard it's either like you won't even see the app or it'll just like crash every

time you open it. That's what I've heard. I've heard both of those like you won't even see the app or it'll just like crash every time you open it Yeah, I've heard. I yeah, I've heard both of those things but bottom line like it will not work. Okay, is what they're saying From what you understand and I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions that you don't know why like what's the what's the what's the Impetus is that is that is that a word? I know it's a word, but is that the right word for this? I thought impetus is like when you can't. Whoa, dude, your impetus? Yeah. All right, you gonna adopt? You thought about adopting?

We could adopt a new app from somewhere else. Hey! Maybe Vine. Uzbek? Uzbek? Uzbekistan? Uzbek is back in the news? What's like the reason for canceling this

or deleting, banning it in Kansas or Kansas. It's just like across state lines to Missouri, you'll be just fine. You've got to read download every time, but yeah, you can use it. Yeah, those people in Joplin are gonna go nuts. So I think there's several schools of thought and I don't know much about this.

Okay. I know way less than you, I guarantee you. Okay. I've been, yeah. Gen Z, uninformed. They don't even do their own laundry. Put your head in the sand and just- Make lady videos.

Yeah, sheep. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. So I think for years, I mean, even when Trump was back in office, we heard like Chinese are spying on us. And- We're like, fine, that's great.

I'm not that interesting. Yeah, let them have it. And so I think that's still the main channel, like the main information being used is like, we don't want these Chinese stealing our data or stealing our privacy or like affecting the children. They're affecting the algorithm. That's kind of the rhetoric you hear.

And I think the adverse to that is like, this is all just like anti-Chinese propaganda. It's never been about the Chinese. It's about like, it's about these privacy laws and it's about this data. It's about this other thing, you know, and that's more of like the, might be true, but comes off a little more conspiratorial.

I don't know what's true, but those are the thoughts. That's interesting that they're like, choosing to ban something based, not they're not publicly saying like, this is exactly why we're banning it. Or like, these are the facts. It's more just like, maybe we're doing it for this reason. Maybe we're doing it for that reason.

I don't know, you make your own decision. There's, and who's banned, the government's banning it. I don't know. There's a good amount of people out there listening who probably are very well informed and could fill in the blanks for me better. But yeah, the little I know, it seems like, I don't know, like it seems like, well,

if China would be willing to, I don't even know if the, if ByteDance is the name of the company that owns it. I think they are a Chinese company, but. Because there's no way that TikTok, TikTok is the one app in the world that has this, you know, data mining feature on it that the Chinese people own. Like there's no way that that is like the exclusive app for that.

So here's what's fun. Here's what I do know about. So Tymon, do you know about Red Note? No, I got to do everything on this book. Gosh, I'm carrying this thing. So hey, fun exercise. I saw red one. Is that the same thing?

Probably? No time. That's a movie about Christmas. It's like the pacifier for Gen Z. All right, go to the go to the app store. If you're if people in the room are not currently bricked. I have an app store on my computer. You going Mac Mac OS app store.

It's got a desktop. Just go to like the top downloads, just like most popular apps. I wonder if app store is one of my, my bricked things. Nope, I'm on it, baby. I see must have apps. Whoa. Are you talking about like the very first thing

that comes up is that Chinese looking symbol thing? Chinese looking symbol thing. Is it red? Big Are you talking about like the very first thing that comes up is that Chinese looking symbol thing? Chinese looking symbol thing. Is it red? Big time. Yeah. It's an ad. Okay. So it's the number one app in America right now. I think the American translation is Red Note.

So it's Chinese TikTok. So everyone is just migrating to this Chinese TikTok. Most of it's in Mandarin. You can't even like read it. Dude, I was- People just have to scroll that much, I guess. Yeah, they just need to scroll. They need to see new faces.

It's kind of beautiful in a way because it's like, yes, our governments are fighting, but it's like all these Americans and Chinese people like bonding on this new, it's not new to them, but a new to us Chinese app. The comments, of course I downloaded it, are so funny. So Americans on this app are known as refugees or known as migrants.

And so it's like to all my refugees out there and it'll be like a Chinese person who knows English, like explaining you how the app works or explained to you. Like people are comparing homework. Like people are like doing their Chinese homework for people. They're doing your English homework for people. Oh wow, math homework is probably really big. Yeah, it's beautiful.

Wow. We're only like 24 hours into it now, recording it. That's probably probably really big. Yeah, it's beautiful. Wow. We're only like 24 hours into it now recording it. That's probably been shut down by the time this comes out. Yeah, it's the number one social media app on on the charts right now. Second is Clapper. So don't take it out too much, you know, credence, I guess, because yeah, Facebook is number seven and Instagram is nowhere to be found. What's happening here? Heck. Maybe it's just like, must be just like trending

or like recently downloaded because that doesn't make sense. Right. But still, not even the top 50 Instagram? What in the world? Instagram's dying. What the heck? Or maybe everyone just already has.

Either way, number one, social networking networking is that different than social media? Doesn't matter Cool, so you're so there's nothing like no Americans in your algorithm yet Oh top free apps here you go. It's number one on like all charts for free apps I mean, I pulled up my app store, and it was right there. Oh now suggested on There is Instagram at the top, which I have already, so I don't know why that's there. Hey, have you considered Instagram?

Hey, maybe, just maybe, our phones listen to us all the time and we shouldn't be so worried about one more app listening to us. Yeah, I don't understand all that privacy stuff. It seems like, you know what else I don't like is that I don't even care about the cookies, just stop with the pop-ups. You can have my cookies, just stop asking me about them.

Stop annoying me with them. How do I just say like, 24 hour bakery, like have all the cookies you want. Yeah, it's great. If this means I get better targeted ads to me, great, fine. And you know what? The websites that ask about the cookies are always, ones that I'm like, there's no way that you're going to be able to do anything

with my cookies anyway. I'm not even on this website ever. This is my one time. I was just curious who that actor was in that one show. Fine. Yeah. My cookies such an obscure websites like you bring it on. Dude, I'll give you my social security number.

You're not going to do anything with it. Like, you know what I mean? Like there's no way that person is at that person went on Wix to build this website. Yeah, I'm on my phone. I'm just trying to scroll to get to the one answer I'm looking for. And then there's one pop up. Join our email list. All right.

No, thanks. That's one pop up. You're fine. And then boom, huge thing. Reject, reject optional, except I know if I hit reject all that's going to lead me to some other website and then I gotta confirm something. So just get me out of here.

I will say one thing I do not let my phone do is I always say ask app not to track. Oh yeah, you're supposed to do that. Are you? When you download a new app. Yeah, I don't know. I just, for whatever reason, it's like, yeah, it just seems like the right thing to do.

It's like, ask them though. Let me know what they say, but ask them. I've never heard of response though. I've never heard them being like, hey, they consider it. And they decided they're going to track you anyway. I had a friend who worked in like digital marketing, Facebook ads, everything. And he said, once Apple like cracked down on that and the data privacy stuff, once he started asking

about that, he said, it made my job so much harder. Interesting. Yeah. I think it used to be way easy to like find people, find the right interests, all this, and now they want you to not track them, tough. I do have some friends who are pretty techie, pretty into all this security stuff, and they are pretty paranoid with all this stuff. So like, I will say, maybe the more you know,

the more it's like, hey, this is a legit concern, but I'm like, I don't have that much money anyway. Maybe we should be more like time and just bare ahead in the sand pretend life's is all rainbows and butterflies Definitely is definitely is that's timing for you. So No, I I'm with you guys. I'm like that I've just never like cared much like I I remember one time I was at a coffee shop with some like friends or whatever and I was I think just getting some work done We were doing together and I connected the Wi-Fi and

My friend was just like don't do you can't connect to the Wi-Fi the coffee shop like I've never thought twice about that. I don't yeah, I'm looking at anything bad I know you need to scan the room and be like which one of these guys is a hacker, right? Cuz there's one at any time. Yeah It's a crazy stat. You're not gonna to believe it, but three out of every seven people are hackers. In coffee shops or does it in America? No, in America. No.

Yeah, I think it's America. It's not worldwide. I don't think like, I think lower than that in Ghana. I think lower than that in- Africa kind of pulls it down. Surprisingly, I think Australia is like almost a hundred percent hackers.

I think it's like six and a half out of seven. It's a penal colony. All they know is a life of crime and corruption. That's a boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, boy hackers. That's how they do it. So yeah, it's crazy. Like, and it's always out of seven. It's never like out of 10 or out of a hundred.

It's always out of, so it's like six and a half, 6.66 repeating out of seven or something like that. Wow. Yeah. Cause dentists like to do things out of five dentists, but hackers for a reason it's like, yeah. It's seven. Three out a seven or something. Wow. Yeah. Because dentists like to do things out of five dentists, but hackers for a reason. It's like seven out of seven because that's the it's it's all sixes and sevens in hacking. That's binary code for him. Yeah. So I was laying in bed last night and I was thinking about hacking

because I had an idea for like a pickleball sketch of like how I think my wife will react to my pickleball game. Just like me telling her like. So I just got back from pickleball. Shut up. Sit down right now. I react to my pickleball game. And just like me telling her like, so I just got back from pickleball, shut up, sit down right now. I want to hear everything about it. And then just like, you know, it cuts back to Rachel. I know she's got popcorn in her mouth.

I talked a little bit more, cuts back to Rachel. I did this one shot, I did this crazy Ernie. I believe you, because I saw it. You saw it? What do you mean you saw it? I hacked into the system. I hacked into the security cameras. You hacked into the system? Yeah. For me? Two years, you know, saw it? I hacked into the system. I hacked into security cameras. You hacked into the system. Yeah. For me, two years in all those times. I said I was playing Mahjong. Yeah. Every Thursday for two years. I was taking hacking lessons.

Babe, you shouldn't have. Yeah. You know that, that basket of like all of my tiles and stuff that I carry, it's actually a call to hacky sack. Yeah. AI. Yeah, it's AI. Feels like the end of a Christopher Nolan movie. Like everything's revealed. Oh, this all makes sense now. Oh, yeah, we should put some. But is she real? Wow.

What's your name? It's been the top. Yeah, at the end, my hand just passes through her. Timon, could you edit all that? Yeah. That's fun. So that's hacking. So you were thinking about hacking.

Yeah, I don't know why I couldn't. It's like once every like six months, I'm laying in bed, not falling asleep. Like what is wrong with me? Dude, Catherine, last two nights has struggled to sleep for whatever reason. She's like, I slept terribly. I'm like, why?

She's like, I don't know. Once I fell asleep, it was great. It was just one of those where like, if I was single, I would have like, probably kept working. And because it's like, sometimes just like, I don't know what it is chemically, but just like something happens every now and then at 10 PM, 11 PM.

And it's like, I am the most product, it's nature's adderall, whatever happens, I am so productive. I am so funny. I mean, everything I write down, I look back the next morning, I'm like, it's gold, Jerry. It's, you're a genius last night. You look back the next morning too. Like, it's not just like, you a genius. I'm like the next morning, too like it's not just like a You know not like drunk but like it's like this is a great idea and then you look back you're like, what does that even mean?

Yeah, there's a times like good the next time I look at I'm like that was great Really and last night I was having one of those but I still tried to force myself to sleep and that's what I get Oh, you were on a heater. Yeah, I was on a heater. Yeah, I got pulled early My coach was like, hey, we'll save you for the playoffs. It's count. You know, we're trying to, we're trying to load management. You get it timing. So yeah, that's bummer. So anyway, I was just having ideas while I was sleeping, just rejecting. I was like, don't pick up your phone. Just sit here and fall asleep. And these ideas keep coming. So that's tough. Just thinking hacking last night. Yeah, for a while, like I had to, like, I was in a habit. I don't know if I had to, I was in a habit. I don't know if I had to, but I felt like,

my mind felt like I had to watch Netflix to fall asleep because I couldn't turn my brain off. And yeah, it was just like, I can't stop thinking. So I just have to be distracted by something, watching Netflix or something. Watching something that I am not actively watching, just like, I know what's's gonna happen in this show. I'll watch The Office and fall asleep to it.

Yeah, and luckily mine is usually with constructive thoughts. It's not like anxiety or anything. No, yeah, neither is mine. Yeah, but it's just like, okay, I need to do this. Maybe that's anxiety. I don't think it is. It's just like, I gotta, okay, tomorrow I'm gonna do this, this, okay, I gotta remember to do this.

Okay, this needs to be on my to-do list. I should probably text that person. It's like, okay, you'll figure do this, this. Okay. I got to remember to do this. Like, okay. This needs to be on my to-do list. I should probably text that person. You know, it's like, okay, you'll figure all this out tomorrow. Like, yeah. But, but if you don't get enough sleep, you're not going to do it as well. Another fun thing, potential cause for this is, um, yesterday, um, I had a kind of fun conversation with someone like kind of the dude, perfect realm. I just went ahead and shot my shot and, um, what do you mean? Not like the dude, perfect. I just went ahead and shot my shot and- What do you mean? Not like the dude perfect people or like-

They're like brand manager. Okay. And I was like, would love to like be able to come down, see the new headquarters. Yeah. Is there any way I could get like an hour and shoot some pickleball content

with like one or two of the dudes? His response, 100% we can make that happen. It's like, dude. That's all it takes guys, just ask. This is awesome. Yeah. And so I think the whole two of the dudes, his response, 100% we can make that happen. It's like, dude. That's all it takes guys, just ask. This is awesome. Yeah. And so I think the whole rest of the day, my brain is also kind of spending like,

we have to take advantage of this. Of course. This is a massive deal. Yeah. Well, you know, you've met one of the twins or something, right? Yeah, so I feel like those are the ones I know the best. They're candy-cut guys, not that I knew them there,

but I've made, I think Cory listens to correct opinions from time to time. Kobe, we've shot a video together like seven years ago. Even their headquarters. Yes, and then when they came to Kansas City, I got to see them all at the show. So like they know who I am, but I don't have their phone numbers. Not yet.

Not yet. So that's crazy. I really want to rack up. You know, I think last week I talked about my like pickleball interview series, like what hot ones did like interview format for chicken wings. I want to do it with pickleball. Remind. Oh, at the net, like, yeah, dinking playing. I'm still trying to figure out the exact format, but like, yeah, if we could land like a dude, perfect member and a couple others, then I think it becomes way easier to then begin asking more like, Hey, so far in season one, we've gotten this person, this person, would you like to,

we'd love to add you to that list. Let's brainstorm some other like reasonable people. I already got a list for you, brother. First, just off the hip, LeBron James. He was not on my list. Tiger Woods. Yeah. Beyonce, probably.

Okay, no. Mahomes is local. He's on the list. Yeah, Mahomes is on the No. Mahomes is local. He's on the list. Yeah. Mahomes is on the list. Mahomes and Kelsey together. Yep. They're on the list.

Um, Gary Deter. Not on my list. Not on your list. Okay. I don't think he's achievable. No. I'm not achieving. Um, Whitney Houston.

So she's not. So don't cross her off. We'll try to get her anyway. Yeah. You know, that old, uh, what is that? Is that SNL skit? I think it's, um, it's, it's Will Ferrell being Harry Carey. Okay. Next week, Albert Einstein. I'm just being told Albert Einstein has been dead for 17 years. We'll try to get him anyway. We'll try to get them anyway. Yeah. Okay. So maybe not Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.

If you're going to get Travis Kelsey, you could probably just like, I'll put their schedules. They're here all the time. Think of their schedules. Yeah. David Dobrik, he's jacked. So he'll probably be pretty bad at dinking now, but I have to overcome the list. I think we can get to him. Yeah, we've got it in.

Do you still have Jake Paul's number? Did you ever have Jake Paul's number? I have Logan Paul's number. Yeah, same person. But it's, it was like seven years ago. I feel like surely that's changed by now. In that case, let's text him right now. Like in that case, why not just see what happens?

I've got Dirk Novitsky. He's big pickleball guy. Grew up playing tennis. Fun. Who knows? In that case, why not just see what happens? I've got Dirk Nowitzki. He's a big pickleball guy. Grew up playing tennis. Fun. Who knows? We've gotten in with a Terrell Owens agent. Okay. Could be kind of cool. Yeah.

Do you know who Hannah Berner is? Yeah. Female comedian, really funny. She was on Correct Opinions, played college tennis. Okay. Is like pretty outspoken that she hates pickleball. I think it'd be fun to make her play me in pickleball. Perfect, yeah.

Jake Johnson from New Girl. Oh yeah. Doable. Yeah. And then GM Golf, Garrett Clark. Got it. Also feels doable. That one's like guaranteed.

And that one could be two, both in Dallas, double up. With Dol Dirk. Double scoop. Oh, triple scoop in Dallas. Oh, with Do Perfect. Yeah. Yeah, let Scoop in Dallas. Oh, with Do Perfect. Yeah. Yeah, let's go, let's go Sexed Double Scoop. Okay.

Let's figure that out. There's plenty more people in Dallas, right? Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban. Forrest Frank, maybe. Oh yeah. Might be Dallas. Forrest is Waco, which is in driving distance.

Hour and a half. He's on the list. Chip Gaines. George Bush. Okay. Chip Gaines, Waco. Okay. Chip gains Waco. Joanna gains Waco. Now we're now we're starting to David Waco. Some FBI agents. Honestly, I would watch the FBI agent one maybe first. It'd be pretty interesting to hear their accounts of everything. Um, yeah, I think I think those

are there's plenty of people in Dallas, right? Like there's got to be other celebrities out there. Danny Austin. Danny Austin. Put her on the list. Yeah. Elon Musk. Austin. Oh, Rogan is in Austin, I think. All right. So we got two in Austin, two in Waco. A bunch of Dallas. That's it. That's all Texas run. All Texas. Good ranchers down in Houston. Good ranchers. Yeah. Ranchers. Good ranchers.

That's fun. Jake, I got a text from my friend AJ. Shout out AJ. Dad's on Maui. AJ texted me Thursday, January 9th, 2.55 p.m. Big Cozy Earth fan. Why have I not worn these before? Yeah, Cozy Earth is something we could talk about every episode

It's made from viscose from bamboo. That would be my personal suggestion. Like if you are going to buy a shirt, if you're going to buy some joggers, make sure it's that material. Yeah. Because I just think it's like, it's unlike anything I own. And you're probably thinking bamboo. That's a really hard wood Oh, oh, oh, whatever the viscose is. That's the soft part. I'll tell you that. Yeah, they have figured it out Whatever is going on with that stuff. It's just unbelievably comfortable soft Some of some of the things are thick.

She's like, can I use your car? I quickly am like trying to open my eyes, check my calendar real quick. I have no idea. I'm like, yeah, use your car? I quickly am like trying to open my eyes, check my calendar real quick. Like I have no idea. I'm like, yeah, take it, go for it. And so she takes my car and then what was supposed to be a really nice productive day at home was just like back to the grind of like,

let's get Ford out here to fix this. Let's get, so I got, yeah, Ford mobile, like repair shop. They were here in like 20 minutes. Okay. Great. That was awesome. Yeah. Ford mobile repair shop, they were here in 20 minutes. Great, that was awesome. And then about 10 minutes later, he knocks on my door again. It said, yeah, I don't know what's going on. We're not gonna be able to fix this from the driveway.

We were hoping it was just a 12 volt again, but it's not that. I'm getting a lot of codes. I don't know what it is. So I was like, cool. Since this is the second issue in two weeks, could you guys figure out like the tow and everything? He's like, we cannot, we are only here to repair it.

I was like, no worries, brother. I get it. So called old Santa Fe towing again. Yep. You know, second time in two weeks. Like, okay, got another car for you. They came by. You guys do loyalty program? Yeah, can I get a punch card?

I don't know if this is the last time. Can I get a punch card? This is like buy five, get one free. Yeah, when did I start getting a discount on this? So they came again and towed it. Luckily it's right down the road, at least. Everything's pretty close. Yeah.

But yeah, then just started as like, all right, we gotta get Rachel a new car ASAP. What's happening? It's just crumbling. Why is it just not working in the winter time? Did they diagnose it yet? Haven't heard anything yet. I don't know what's going on.

So then I try to figure out like, having Rachel hit them up, like, all right, this is two times two weeks, things that should be covered under the warranty. Get us a loaner car. They said, until we know what's covered under the warranty. Get us a loaner car. They said, until we know what's wrong, we can't provide you a loaner car. So I was like, whatever.

So I'm trying to get Rachel a car as soon as possible. But I also feel like, I don't know, she should probably test drive it. I thought she should just buy her one, try to figure all this out. Oh, try to get her like a permanent car. Yeah, get her like just her next car. And so I'm like, how about for the next two days?

Rachel's flying out of town on Friday For the next two days. What if I just rent her a car that we were gonna test drive anyway? Okay, just two days can't be that expensive and so kind of fun. So I rented her thanks to the ghosties out there Which is I think 80% of our podcast fans driver have four I learned this week. I don't know if he's on Facebook thread yeah, if you're like 25 to 37, I think, you DriveArav4, and you're a woman. Which I'm kind of- No offense to the men, DriveArav4s.

That's just what the data tells us. You're a burly guy, but it's a lot of girls. Trying to think the math here, 80% of listeners, 25. So I think that means we got about 1500 listeners who are hackers and Drive-route for. Yeah, it's pretty cool. And maybe more if they're Australian. Good eye.

Yeah. Let's put another hack on the barbie. There you go. All right. Dingo ate my software. I don't know anymore. Australian. So no, no, no, no.

Found a rap for on Turo. The only pickup spot is the airport. Sure. But that's where she's going to be dropping off in two days. It's not the end of the world. So anyway, we just went on a little road trip yesterday. I had her pick me up from chicken to pickle and we got done shooting yesterday and we drove up to the airport and she's got her a 2022 RAV4 buzzing around the next two days. Liking it so far. Uh, 2022 RAV4, no heated seats.

Is it leather? I don't know. seats. Is it leather? I don't know. I mean, not every question. I think that's one of those things where it's like they have different packages, right? Yeah. My 21 heated seats, Ikea. Yeah. I mean, it's just like, yeah. Am I out of touch? It just seems like that's an easy thing. I was surprised for mine though too. So I think I'm out of touch. I was like, what's going on? Well, it's just like most cars like have like a Ford F-150 is not always going to have heated seats. Wow. You have to buy the XLE trim to get heated seats. Right. Yeah. Like there's there's like the the work trucks of the world. If you look at that Ford F-150, the handles are different.

The mirrors don't have chrome on them. Yeah. You know, whatever. They don't have carplay or they might have like a tiny little screen, you know, whatever. They don't have CarPlay. Or they might have like a tiny little screen, you know, whatever. There's different levels to it all. That seems, in my mind, those seem like things that are like 2015, 2016. Yeah, the screen's small in the lowest trim.

Yeah, the front seats aren't even heated. Yeah, it's fair. But it's like 2022, I would think. A lot of things should come standard. And you're right. There is certain things like I know. So there different packages. Whatever levels of the f-150 I know the newer f-150s even though they're like not the leather seat lariat editions Still have dual climate control still have blind spot indicators. Probably there's there's certain things

They're like safety things where it's like the thing that has to like turn off every stoplight Like do you have that on your car timing? Turn off every one. Oh, I don't like that. I don't either. You can turn it off. But like, oh, good. Like every time you like stop at a stop light,

does your car like halfway turn off? It kind of shuts off. Oh, it doesn't have that. Doesn't have that. That would annoy me. I thought that was like a like a government issued. Like you have to have this. Oh, really?

No, I think of that as like more of a yeah, I don't see that very often at all. Yeah. Catherine hates it. I don't like it either. Oh really? No, I think of that as like more of a, yeah, I don't see that very often at all. Yeah, Catherine hates it. I don't like it either. Oh yeah, every time it like, it'll start going, Oh yeah, it's like, I just- Punch that thing, turn it off.

Yeah, that's annoying. The all new FanDuel sports book in Casino is bringing you more action than ever. Want more ways to follow your faves?

Call one eight six six five three one twenty six hundred visit connectsontario.ca But yeah, so like I guarantee you there are Rav4s with the heated seats. And I'm sure there are. I was just surprised that like, apparently they make a trim in 2022. No front heated seats. The rear, I get it. Yeah, you pay a little extra. You get the limited edition, all seven seats heated.

I struggle with like knowing what the best word is in a car. Limited is the nicest? Is limited nicer? Or platinum? They're both, or elite, or like Limited is the nicest. Is limited nicer for platinum. They're both or elite or, or like, what is the best? Or even just like L select. L E and limited are not the same. It's like, well, what does L E stand for? X E. It kind of seems like that could be limited, limited edition to me. Yeah. X L E extra limited edition. All the things. And then you get, yeah.

And then at the top is limited. Like, oh, I thought that was the bottom earlier. Yeah, I don't know. And I think every company is different. Like, because in, once again, I know F-150 is better than everything. Limited is the nicest. And then platinum is below that.

I would rather, I think I'd rather drive a platinum. That sounds cooler to say. Yeah, I'd drive a platinum F-150. Yeah, I think the RAV4 is the limited is the nicest, but I forget what the third, for the second from the top is. Yeah, I don't know. So yeah, we're just a lot of looking that stuff up recently. So far it seems like she's, that's the one she's looking.

We like the RAV4. We're gonna get her some sort of hybrid and I guess we gotta pay extra for heated seats now. They don't come standard. I bet with a hybrid they come standard. Almost. Now we't come standard. I bet with a hybrid, they come standard. Almost. Now we're talking. So I think, I mean, hybrid's gotta be the nicest version of it, right?

Hope so. Hope so. Hope so. You'll, yeah, you'll find them. Um, so that was fun. Trying to think, not having the car led to other things. Okay, so yesterday, it's time for, we're doing a little Friday pickleball shoot. Oh wait, what? I was just thinking, you do have two cars at your house. I yesterday where it's time for, we're doing a little Friday pickleball shoot. Oh wait, what?

I was just thinking you do have two cars at your house. I thought about it, dude. I really thought about it. I was like, I was really in a jam. In my head, I was like, I didn't realize that Jake didn't have a car yesterday. Oh, it's because half the time I don't see his car because it's parked on the side of the driveway next to the Bondi truck.

I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You got two vehicles. Yeah, it crossed my mind. Oh my gosh. That would have been a great Instagram story. Yeah. You just pulled in a chicken and pickle. How's this thing doing this?

No, who knows? We'll figure it out. I mean, it's so just like, everything is thrown in there. I mean, stuff would have been banging and crash. It would have to truly be an emergency. Like we have a hundred percent certainty that there is a bomb landing in Shawnee, Kansas. You have to get out now.

I would take the bomb. The first thing you would do. And Brad's already gone. Like, yeah, yeah. My neighbors all left and have no room for me. Yeah, yeah. Dennis doesn't have any room in the truck. I would love to get out of town, get out of Dodge with Dennis.

Honestly, if it is like a, you're not coming back to your house, the Bondi truck would be like, I think my whole family would go with you. Cause you have a generator, you have two. Good generators. Two great generators, brother. Yeah, you have two great generators,

you have a kitchen in there, like we could live out of that truck two blenders. Yeah, and There's no real food in there. I well you can there's bee pollen though. You can grow food I don't know if you know this. Yeah, I saw the Martian. Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't do do we would we would do the Martian Yep, any potatoes I'll bring the dump. Could we lie down in it? You think that could we sleep down there? Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's a little donkey breakfast in there. Tell me what that means. I don't, I've never heard that phrase.

This is a term on day two of the day three of the limo trip. We were playing a main, the state main based board game. It was trivial pursuit for Maynards. Okay. You know, we're like, this is so dumb, but the loser of this has to do something. And Maynard will be the name, right? You know, we're like, this is so dumb, but the loser of this has to do something. And-

Maynard will be the name. Right? The only name is Maynard. Yeah, yeah. And one of the trivia questions was, what is the often referred to as the donkey breakfast in Maine? Okay.

Am I gonna be able to guess it? Is it like a common thing? No. Okay. But I might've said this on the podcast three years ago. Okay. Am I gonna be able to guess it? Is it like a common thing? No. Okay. But I might've said this on the podcast three years ago. Okay. I don't know. It's the bottom of a canoe. Okay.

It's- You're right. I would never have guessed that. We referred to the spot in the limo. Cause when we were all, when we had four of us and we slept in there, it was like one couch, one couch, one couch. And then the fourth had to sleep in what we call the donkey breakfast.

Cause we had just learned that word. So that means on the ground, like on the ground in between things. So I'd like to think the Bondi truck also has its own little donkey breakfast. You can go too wide in that donkey breakfast. That's great. Okay. Yeah. You said that I was like, that is, is that a commissary kitchen thing that I don't know?

It's a donkey breakfast. Industry term. It's a plant-based term. Catherine, you'd be proud of her. She made her own version of smoothie bowls the other night for dinner for us. Wow. What was the recipe? I would have loved to have given some insight.

It was very different. It ended up being a little more smoothie than acai bowl. Like it was pretty runny. Okay. Like I definitely could have, if it were in a cup, I would be able to drink it. What was your liquid? How'd you soften it up?

Honestly, I got home and there we were. There's the bowl. Like it was one of those nights, like sometimes I get home and she's like, can you hold the kids and I'll do dinner. This night was like dinner's ready. And I was like, okay. I think it was coconut water and something. I know, I know that coconut water was in there.

She made chia seed pudding the night before. This is way different than yours. Yeah, it is. Pomegranate seeds were in there. Peanut butter was in there. Okay. Blueberries were in there. Peanut butter was in the base.

I think. You can do that. I don't know. You can do that. I got my spoon and I mixed it all up. Yeah, and there we were. I ate it and I was like, oh, there's peanut butter here. And there was definitely, I'm pretty sure there was spinach

because it was green. Oh my gosh. She is, yeah, way kids. No, it was good. I'm sure it is, but just the idea of what Rachel made for them versus what Catherine made for them. Oh, very much so like much less sugar. Yeah, much less.

No good for them. She's like, she didn't put this in, but she's like, I was thinking about doing a protein powder in there maybe next time. So anyway, I don't know. It was good. They all, they had seconds. So really not poor kids.

They were enjoying it. No, yeah, that's good. That's very healthy. That's good for them. But anyway, I thought of you. I was like, this is, this is, if you would have said, Hey, what's like, hey, this is not Sybil. What do you call this? People would have said, I was like, this is, if you would've said, hey, what's like, hey, this is an acai bowl, what do you call this? People would've said, I have no idea

because it looks nothing like it. But it was. That looks like a donkey's breakfast. It did kind of look like a donkey's, the thing after donkey eats too much breakfast. Yeah, especially once you stirred it around, probably. But it was great, honestly, I loved it. It really is hard to mess up an acai bowl.

You have a certain amount of ingredients in there, it's just good. Yeah, I think for whatever reason, Catherine doesn't love bananas in her blended up stuff, like smoothies and stuff. In the base? Yeah, so that's like a way that she would say you would screw it up.

But I'm like, I think bananas is one of my favorite things to put in something like that. You know, I think I used to shy away from this because it felt like I was talking down about future competition, but Rachel and I have had one Acai Ball ever. They were like, man, that was actually not good. That was interesting.

And we looked up the reviews to this place afterwards. Like, why they have 4.9 stars of reviews. I mean, that's crazy high. I guess we just got a bad one, huh? That's weird. It's up in Liberty and Derek told me, it makes sense where he lives. They're out of business now.

Like, I could have told you that. Really? 12 months ago, badass evil. Do you ever, I'm leery of 4.9 stars, 4,000 reviews. Do you ever get like, if you see something like that? I would trust that. Would you? That many?

I think, Tymon, back me up or deny this with Jake, if you want. OK, sometimes I think that those are either like, yeah, somehow generated. I think when it's when it's that many for a small place like that, like there's a sushi place or all you can eat sushi place on Neiman. You know, yeah. Over by McLean's has I don't know how many reviews. That was always buzzing, though. Thousands of reviews, though, Jake. So you think they're like longs it been in business. How long has it been open? I

Don't know that's possible. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm just not a Heads in the sand. Let's use that let's use that and let's look at like what's a really popular place Around here and let's see let's compare how many reviews those people have versus this place. And we should also keep it open mind to what kind of loyalty program they have. If you leave a review there. That's that's part of it, I think. There's definitely like a. I thought you said like computer generated.

Maybe these are like humans. Yes. Instead of isolate reviews. But does that still like to unvalidate them if there was like an incentive? Is no, I don't think so so because if they want to keep coming back They wouldn't keep coming back Just for a discount if it wasn't good. Yeah Sushi Mito, yeah

2,000 reviews average 4.6. I'm not saying I'm not I'm not saying it's like 100% I'm just saying I wonder there's a lot of local guides on the top ones though. So maybe I should Let's see newest reviews because like if If a restaurant is either really good or really bad that makes me want to leave her if I'm like this was like exceptional then I'm gonna be like I might even like review them like positively or if it's like Outstandingly bad, then I'm like I'll leave a review. Maybe just to like let them know To do better, and I would be it is really good I would never leave a review just I've left a few reviews on Google things unless unless I like you connect with a

Owner and it's like man. We're trying to get this going would love for you. Okay, okay, that's different, but like Yeah, I don't know even if it's just a bad experience. I Don't know maybe I don't care enough about all the other people in the world, because I'm just like, they'll figure it out themselves if it's that bad. Rachel left a review for Santa Fe Towing last week, two weeks ago. Because she had a great experience. Yeah.

I'm trying to scroll. I found a review from eight years ago. So they've at least been around on Google Maps, Google reviews for eight years. I think they just do it right. I think they just make good sushi. Maybe so. I mean, I will say like average it right. I think you just make it. Maybe so. I mean,

I will say like average of 4.6, but I'm scrolling through here on the newest and like every, well, maybe every six or seven reviews is a one star review. That doesn't seem like you would average out 4.6 by that. But I don't know. I do think there is like, I've seen it like my mechanic and stuff like, yeah, leave a five star review and we'll give you 10% off or something. So maybe it's more that than it is bots. Cause surely Google would know how to unbot. Yeah, I think if you like, like I've seen influencers try to take down a business, like go leave this place

a one star review. When Google sees an influx of things like that, they shut it down. Like it doesn't even work. So you would have to like create some program that leaves review once every four days from a different IP address every time and like make a Google account every time.

That's true. Brandon Faulkner would have some information on this. So Brandon, if you're listening, I want to hear your insights one way or the other. He's got his ear to the ground with that kind of stuff, you know, with that culture. So So anyway yesterday we are I'm about ready to leave for

Chicken and pickle to go shoot Hectic day a couple phone calls a couple good phone calls though talk with Sunday Swagger thought they were gonna break up with us Didn't totally break up with us. Hey Connor Kelderman chatted with him. Connor Kelderman, chatted with him. Yep. Nathan Coley chatted with him. Nice. But shout out Nathan Coley with the video on Facebook. That was really cool. Yeah. Explain what he did. He made a compilation of our 400 episodes, put like the first five to 10 seconds of every single episode together from episode one all the way to 400. And I started watching and I was like, this is cool. And

then I watched the entire thing. It was really funny to see, at least for me, and I think a lot of times for you too, but every time I start talking, like to start the episode, I always say your name first. Jake, you know, Jake went here this week. Jake did this thing this week. And there was like three or four in a row

where it was me that started and I said Jake every time. I've always thought is cool though for like Just like anyone who's newly listening like okay. I know this one's not Jake sure Immediately figure it out. I'll say that we sound alike and I don't know no No No, no, I don't think so Sound more like Steve Triplett No, I sound more like Steve Triplett.

Anyway, but I, oh, so I had scheduled an Uber. You could schedule an Uber based on arrival times. Like, yeah, I want to arrive at Chickapical at 4 p.m. I get out of the shower at 3.15 to notification. I've arrived nine minutes ago. He's here 30 minutes early. Stressful, you know, I'm like, oh my gosh, I gotta get all packed up, whatever. Finally know, I'm like, oh my gosh, I gotta get all packed up, whatever.

Finally get in the Uber and it was really fun. So there's a lot of construction on the highway getting there. I very much had a Michael Scott, like she's about to drive us into a lake moment, kind of not an actual lake, but she was just ready to just like so blindly follow the GPS. It was hilarious and amazing.

Just like there's construction. So it's rerouting you to like the other side of the highway. And so Google maps all of a sudden has no idea where you're at. It starts giving you all sorts of information and she's ready to follow it to the tee. Like even though the whole route, it said exit on 135th street. Oh my gosh. I was supposed to exit back there at College Boulevard.

Oh, you're going south to Chicken and Pickle. Chicken and Pickle South. Okay. Yeah. And I'm like, no, no, no. Yeah, 69 Highway does have a lot of, yeah. Cause she even confirmed with me at the beginning. Like we're going to Chicken Pickle at 135th.

Great. The whole time we're down, we're driving. Exit at 135th. Oh, why does it do that? Of course it tells me to exit there right when I pass it. All right, we'll exit here, we'll turn around. No, no, no, it's on 1.35th, so you're good to keep going. It's saying I gotta turn around, you know,

that's the lake, Michael. You know, no, no, no, you're good, keep going south. Here, I have it on my phone, I have it on my phone. Look, keep going south, this is where it's at. Okay, well this is saying, why don't we do 1.19th instead? No, no, it's on 1.35th, so you might as well just exit on 1.35th,? No, no, it's on 1 35th. So you might as well just exit on 1 35th. You know, right?

And then- Because 1 35th, no, no, no, go ahead, sorry. Then I think I've got her convinced. All right, 1 35th and then 1 19th exits coming by. Starts drifting off. No, no, no, no, that's 1 19th, that's 1 19th. Come on, come on back. And she's like, oh, well, it said 1 35th on it.

I was like, no, it said 1.35 in two and a half miles. She's like, why'd they put that there? And I'm like, I don't know. Man, they're just. This is her first time driving. They're messing with you today. I'm like, oh, on her side. Man, I mean, I don't know.

You're doing everything right. It's just the sign guys. Yeah, these sign guys are pulling a prank. He thinks it's April 1st over here. Oh, it was just, it was a great, like in that Uber ride is when the whole dude perfect conversation happened., it was just, it was a great, like in that Uber ride is when the whole dude perfect conversation happened. So it was just great.

I was like, this is happening in my phone, but out loud, I'm just convinced, just for the love of God, drive straight. Yeah. Just don't hit a cone. Just don't do anything crazy. The whole thing's on 1.35, just keep going. It was entertaining though, had a good time. It does get a little confusing because there is like an exit kind of thing.

You're not 135th, but like you have to exit early and like go on this other ramp sometimes for like a mile down there. Maybe it's college Boulevard. I don't know. Something like that. I know you're talking about. I don't know. Road name. That's funny though. Just veering all over the place. Listen to this jingle I have for good ranchers. Okay. Good, good, good, good ranchers.

I'm passing a gas station. I'll snag it. And I say, Hey, I'd take a fun drink surprise. Isaac says, Yeah, you know what? Scott, I take a fun drink surprise too, if you don't mind. How the turntables. Scott said, crap, I just saw this and already left. I said, you got some kind of nerve. He's yeah. Do you know where this is going? No, but I think he's gonna to go back. He felt awful. Yeah, it's like this is no big deal He goes what else do you guys want so I could stop somewhere else and I was like, dude, I'm I'm good Isaac's like Yeah, I'm good. No for real. I'll stop somewhere. I feel bad. You're really fine

What are you guys craving? Pickle has drinks, right? So we were shooting a National Geographic spoof yesterday and I was like, I'll just drink water, chicken, pickle. Help me get into character when I become an animal. Scott said, well, I'm buying you guys drinks at chicken pickle. I feel so guilty. And I was like, Scott, where's this coming from?

It's all good. Oh, Scotty. Before that text, I wasn't even thirsty. And then I was like, well, if you're going to Quick Trip, yeah, give me some, surprise me. If you're there. Guys, I'll turn around. He's like weeping in his car like I should have checked my phone

Where did it go wrong? I mean, I do have a date. Yeah, it was January 11th and I Stopped for myself, but I didn't check I didn't check my notification I was in check my tanks. I got this fat friend who told me to brick up and I don't know it's like Like sure. Yeah. Why not? And it's Scott's documentary. He kind of throws you under the bus in the middle. I think so. I think he's like, you know, like, like you trust your friends you've had for a long time. Yeah. You, you hung out with Scott, I think, right? Yeah. I've been, I've been doing a lot of work on my house and a lot of work elsewhere. And then

hanging out with friends. Like that's pretty much my life right now. Yeah. Because last week, I've had this like goal initiative, whatever of like, I'm going to try to see my friends more often. So like scheduling time with my friends once a month. And like, because of last week and all the crazy snow stuff, I like postponed. And so now I'm meeting with like six guys this week, like within one week. Because I'm trying to like, you know, maybe Monday, Wednesday, Friday,

I'm seeing somebody or something like that. And so yeah, yesterday was like Gunnar and I worked out six AM and then I met my dad for coffee at eight AM. Yeah, tell me the six guys. Who's on the sketch? So we got- Gunner and your dad. Gunner, my dad, Scott. Does Gunner have a lifetime?

No, but every 60 days you can be a guest pass. Oh, you got him in. I have three guest passes a month, so anybody who wants to come, come on. One, two. One, two. Holy! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I got a bird in my basement, bring him. Dude, in their basement? Well, I went back out to the garage. You could find him in the garage. I heard something down south. Shucks. So, Tyman, you'll get to know him. He's now in the dryer, you know, just hanging out.

It'd be Tyman's first time getting near the dryer. Am I right? Am I right? Huh? That's Alice's job. Huh? Scott, Gunner, Tate, my dad, my cousin, Harry. Nice. Yeah. So.

Good crew. And then yeah, throughout the rest of the month, throughout the rest of the month, Bob, military Bob. Military Bob, sir, yes sir. Guy from my church, Scott, shout out Scott. He listed the podcast. Okay. Maybe a few others. I can't remember now, but oh, sir. Guy from my church, Scott. Shout out Scott. He listed the podcast. Okay. Um,

maybe a few others I can't remember now, but oh, Peter. Well, that's nice. Yeah. And then we'll we'll and you I'm like, I have you on my list, but I'm like, we see each other enough. I see will like naturally at least once a month. So I'm like, no. So military Bob, that'd be fun. Military Bob's great. Yeah. Lately I've been treating Rachel like she is kind of like my superior in the military kind of fun Like she asked me to do the smallest thing naturally just like hey, could you um? Can you grab that sir? Yes, sir ready to do it sir and happy to do anything else you'd like me to sir Have fun a little bit just out of nowhere you did. Yeah, just out of nowhere. I've done it like twice Just catch her off guard. That's one of those things that like, I am so glad that she said yes to marrying you because like whoever, like what if, what, what if you like, we're just

dating this girl and all of a sudden she's like, yeah, we were, we're, we're done after that. Like, yeah, I did kind of break it out once we got married. But when I'm saying like, like you have the security of like, I know she loves me, we're good. I can really go for it now. I can do this weird thing. I can take a couple big swings. I can try out some new material and I don't have to be scared about it.

Correct. And she can be like, hey, I didn't like that. And you'd be like, all right, that's fine. Oh, she's never said that. I crush at home, crush. I'm one of America's greatest comedians as long as Rachel's in this house.

I love it. She's great. But yeah, as Rachel's in this house. I love it. She's great. But yeah, met up with Scotty. It was fun just hanging out with them and we both got the same sandwich at McLean's had blackberry jam on it. Very Scott order. Like he's like, I think I'm getting this one. I was like, that actually sounds pretty good.

So good times. That's fun. When you talk to Gunner, did he, or have you and I talked about his bachelor party? Did he bring this up? No, he, no, tell me about it. So Gunner, you know what? Hold on, I gotta chop down on this.

I will say- Guys, stall, stall. Something that I do think maybe is correlated with this is that Catherine is trying to organize a little girls trip with Emily, his wife, Rachel. My wife. Your wife. Abby, maybe? I don't know, with Emily, his wife, Rachel. My wife. Your wife, Abby, maybe. I don't know. Sophie? Harrison's wife, Peter's wife. Yeah. Anyway, all these wives. And it was definitely like inspired by the duckwurst.

Like you need to do this thing. Like, like, you know, Brad had that fun pheasant trip. You should like, I'm like, great. Yeah, sure. And then Gunnar did mention yesterday, he's like, yeah, Emily's trying to convince me to go, like take some more trips because she wants to take more trips. Oh, so this might've all started with Emily. Maybe.

It might've. It sounds like Emily's just always trying to go on trips. And back when I think I was still single and before they had kids, me and Emily were always like, trying to like get everyone to go on trips. Thailand, like you're like, Thailand's so cheap. Let's all go to Thailand. Yeah. Cause it was, I think 2020 we were like, considering it didn't work out. Schedules got busy. Sure. Um, so Gunnar texted me a couple of weeks ago, just as like massive

like mansion and like, I don't know, blue Springs or something out there. And, um, it's got this huge yard and he's like, what do you think we cram this full of dudes and have like a weekend full of football or something like that? And- Blue Springs, not like a destination. Well, it was, I think this house is kind of a destination-ish

for Kansas City, but yeah, I think it was still local. And immediately I was like, we have to do something like this. I said, 2023, I had my bachelor party. Brad had his bachelor party, a hunting trip. I said, 2025, let's do yours. You do, I'll help plan it. You could pick the guys. Like, let's do it for you this year.

Do whatever you want. And anyway, we're still kind of figuring it out. So, Gunnar texted me, he's like, all right, you get two guys to put on the like, for sure invited list kind of thing. I don't know how he worded it. But, so I text him individually. That's important.

That's gonna come up later. Garrett Gibson, glide. I was like, want them there. Gotta be fun. So Gartner and I have texted a little bit about this. I think we'll talk more about it this weekend. We're thinking Beck's Lake House. Great.

Go down there, have a little pond, plenty of open space. Could be really fun. Great football field. House. Great. Go down there, have a little pond, plenty of open space, could be really fun. Great football field. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So this was like two weeks ago that I initially texted Garrett and Glide individually and asked them like,

hey, we're trying to get something going, are you free? Like this weekend. They both say like, yeah, should be, like I can hold it. Great, whatever. And then, yeah, it should be, like I can hold it, great, whatever. And then, coinkydink of the week. So, scrolling back up, so Monday at 6.51 p.m.

Glide texted me and is like, hey, I haven't heard anything else about this weekend, like what's going on? And then, let me pull up another text thread. I can't wait. That was at 6.51. PM. PM.

Jeez, dude, sorry, is it taking a while? At six, I think I can't find it. Previous to the exact same time, is a coincidence. Yeah. What days from Garrett, hey, like concerning this, what days do I need to take off from work if this is still in motion and I get to attend? Then he said, prevent D, no pressure.

And I like that phrase. Yeah, prevent D, no pressure. And I was like, how did they both, like within minutes of each other, they waited two weeks to like confirm the details of this at the exact same time, like are they in cahoots? There's no way they could have known that I only texted them to.

Have they met each other? I don't even know if they know each other. I was gonna say, I haven't ever seen them in the same room. Are they in the same person? They might be in the same person. Yeah. Just yeah, can we can think of the week they both two weeks later wanted to confirm details about the same exact thing at the same time. They might be the same person. Yeah. Just yeah, can we can think of the week they both two weeks later wanted to confirm details

about the same exact thing at the same time. I wonder if something. It was insane. I wonder if you texted them 6.51 PM. I wonder if you texted them during Sunday Night Football two weeks earlier and they were watching Sunday Night Football again. They're like one thing triggered another

and they're like, you know what? That reminds me of Jake, you know, whatever. Yeah, I have to go look. Maybe some I posted, you know, Monday evening. Like, oh yeah, Jake is actually. Oh, Jake. Or it's about Gunnar. Maybe Gunnar, what if.

What if. There actually might be a solution to this. Gunnar had both texted them around the same time. And it made them, about his trip, and it made them think about, oh yeah, Nina is Jake-Feth. I don't know why would they use Gunnar? Yeah, why would they?

Doesn't make any sense. Unless Gunnar is incoherent in text, which he is. So maybe that's it. Anyway, coincidence of the week. That was also brought to you by, so you think that's boring. No, that was great. It was kind of wild.

I liked it, I was into it. I was like excited to leave like the room and like, Rachel, they both texted me at like the same time about the same thing and they don't even know. Yeah both on my list 651 p.m. pretty 656 p.m. That's crazy I've seen longer sponsored ads than that

Okay, let's talk about your bird I have I also have had a bird in my shop multiple multiple birds Okay, guess how much I like it. None. Not at all. I Old I just noticed this five minutes before you got here today. Oh really? So it was like Rachel got up at 4 something because like Catherine wanted to take some 545 a.m. Workout class Psycho, I know So Rachel like works out at 545 and it doesn't have school until eight. So she kind of like chilling, but she still went with them.

Had the RAV4, you know, got some coffee. Yeah, got the buzz around the city. So, but she left the garage door up. So at some point in those times a bird flew in and- Was it a tiny little bird? Tiny little bird. Yeah, man, mine were pretty tiny little birds too. Maybe the same bird.

It's because across the street, I swear they're feeding them. My house? No, it's between Dennis and the trucks. They've got these line of bushes where I think they invite the birds. They put like the peanut butter on the honeycomb kind of thing.

This thing, I mean, it's winter, everything is barren. So it's like, I should be able to see the birds in it. I think the whole thing is made of birds actually, cause you can hear them and it sounds like a thousand birds and they're all in like this brush. And so one flew in the cuckoo nest and yeah. I'm not too observant of this kind of stuff. This is the kind of stuff that is,

I'm self-conscious of saying to girls who own trucks. Got it. This is the kind of stuff that's like, you idiot. But I'm not very observant in the winter time. I didn't think there were really birds around in the winter. I thought they all were south. Is there, are there, there's definitely less birds, but like, there's still some birds around.

Yeah, there are birds around. Sometimes I'll look at the legs of certain animals. So let's talk birds. It's like, how are you staying warm? Where's the insulation? Maybe they don't have any like feeling down there though. Surely they have feeling, but you know what I mean? Wait, you're right, they're cold blooded.

So maybe it doesn't matter. All right, I see your bird. Let me raise you an animal. Please. A mammal. So we can actually have a debate about it. I was passing, it was an interesting trailer. I think most horse trailers are like metal

or at least like brown. And you can only see the slits, like that's a horse in there. This was like a see-through or not see-through, but it was just like only the frame of like a trailer. No walls, not no walls, basically. But not enough, like it could get out if it really wanted. One it could get out, yeah, it's just like just like

Like a face mask. Yeah, you match like a face mask like some bars spread out Trailer, but more so I was worried. I was like we're going on the highway It's freezing cold out and look at their little legs. Mike. There's not that much fur around these legs How are those legs staying warm? Yeah, cuz horses have blankets, correct timing Only when it's like really cold. Oh, really? I think maybe during the like big snow We might have put blankets on our horses But like it's not I mean they grow out like pretty thick coats for winter But you gotta shave them or they shed them. I don't really know you've never shaved. I don't maintain horses much

Horses legs stay warm in winter primarily due to their natural adaptation I guarantee you Darwin. I guarantee you take Googled a question right then I've been noticing it more. You're right. I do I think this is chat GPT influencing me because I get so used to no. All right Maybe I think you always done it. All right. I always Google questions. How long have you been noticing how I Google? Since we podcast Wow primarily due to their natural adaptation I've always done it. All right. I always Google questions. How long have you been noticing how I Google? Since we've podcasted. Wow.

Primarily due to their natural adaptation, goes to your time, of having minimal muscle mass below the knee and hock. Hock? What I? Ad hoc. I think hock is, only the men have hock. Oh yeah.

Hock fight. Which means less blood circulation is needed as though there is. Thus minimizing heat loss. Speech dammer for a little bit. Minimizing heat loss, great. That was one of those things where it was like, I just, I didn't listen to a thing there.

I was just like, it works, so we're good. And a physiological mechanism to shunt blood away These words are making me nervous hock and shunt to shunt blood away from the extremities when it's cold to preserve core body temperature It hooks it out of the way. Yeah, it hitches something Hawk Hmm horses have a lot of weird things though shunting like walking they sleep standing have a lot of weird things though. Shunting, hawking. They sleep standing up a lot of the time. They can't throw up so they die a lot. They can't throw up.

Now there's a fun fact. It's like something about their, I think it's throw up that they can't do. They die more than once? No, they just. No, they die it because they can't throw up. So they have to lay, like, gut health. Yeah. They're not bulimic.

I don't know if it's colic or some kind of sickness, but it's like, if they get to the point where they need to throw up, and like, they can just like die, because I feel like maybe they would like, I don't know what it is. It's like a weird thing where they, their body just doesn't do that, and so it can kill them. I don't know, but it like needs to.

Maybe they like could throw up, but it gets like stuck in their neck or something. I don't know. Maybe it's like a bumblebee where it's like, yeah, you could sting them, but you're gonna die. Yeah It's like you can only puke once Good swimmers though. Yeah, they have big lungs buoyant lungs. They go underwater. They can just chill underwater for a while. No But you said buoyant lungs. Yeah, that's what keeps. Oh, that's what buoyant, buoyant, buoyant, buoyant, buoyant.

I thought you meant like- Really long breath hold. I thought you meant like, yeah, they can be underwater for like three minutes at a time. I was like, I've never seen that. Ever seen a horse's blowhole? Yeah. It's kind of weird, but it's pretty cool.

Really? Okay, males are mammals. I don't know how it works. I'll grab a tennis ball and I'll throw it in and you see a horse just dive in. Dude. It's majestic, dude. You ever go bareback, you know,

just like diving down into the deep end of a pool with a horse. Yeah, ride the ducks, I'll ride the horse. Ride the horse. That's hilarious to think like. Horses go underwater. Just imagining them just like, you know, doing a couple of breast strokes underwater for a while.

And I like to imagine like horses still close their eyes like we do. So like a horse, horses still close their eyes like we do. So like a horse, just like when his eyes like really shut. It's a chlorinated pool. What do you want me to do? Yeah, it hurts. Have contacts. Oh man, that's great.

Hey guys, some of you out there have been listening to us for years and have heard us sponsored by Main Street Roasters for years and have still never jumped in that pool. What are you doing? That pool of just beautifully blended single origin. Oh, coffee. You fools.

Well, guess what? We're doing good cut back. Today's the day. Yeah, today's the day. Dip that toe in. You tell me that that isn't a perfect temperature. You tell me that isn't just how you like it. You tell me that that isn't perfect temperature. You tell me that isn't just how you like it. You tell me that doesn't go down smooth.

And hey, comes out pretty smooth too. Made the bad cop laugh. You got me there. It was me the whole time, guys. We love ya. We love Main Street Roasters. So. Oh man, we have fun. We love Main Street Roasters. So, oh man, we have fun.

Catherine had a cup the other day and said, this is my favorite flavor yet. So if that is any credence to you, check out Costa Rican, Tiramisu, Tiramisu. It's not Tiramisu. It's just black coffee, but it's good stuff. So, um, check them out. Maeserroaster.com we have a 10% off promo code. It's GRKC. It's the same code for everything we do.

Today's the day you dip your toe in. And don't let me stop you from jumping in the deep end. Yep. Just make sure you have your floaties on. Oh, well, I do have I have a I have like nothing to talk about this week, but I have one situation, one story, one valid or get off my high horse.

Okay. Horse. Valid or get off my boy. Yeah. So main, main thing in my life right now, main stress, main, the thing that I'm falling asleep thinking about slash just distracted with all the time is this basement. Like, and I've gotten to the point, I don't know if it's like stages of grief. Is that what it is where you with all the time is this basement. Like, and I've gotten to the point, I don't know if it's like stages of grief. Is that what it is where you have all the

different things? Is that the overarching like denial? Yeah. Anger. Yeah. Grief. I feel grief in my grief. Denial. Bargaining. Yeah, bargaining's in there and acceptance is in there. Oh, depression. Denial, anger, depression, bargaining, grief, acceptance. Maybe it's anger first. Whatever it is. I don't know if I'm truly in grief, but I was definitely angry and annoyed with this project and I've gotten to the point now

where I'm just kinda having fun with the challenge. You're bargaining. Maybe that is it. You're saying, you know what? I'm learning something here. This is good. I'm learning. I've never bought drywall before.

Now I can figure out it's not that big, like not that expensive, but it's kind of heavy if you do it by yourself. Would love for that Home Depot employee to help me out right now instead of just watching me. You're learning to ratchet strap things down in your truck with the tailgate down. Maybe still haven't. No, just you haven't learned your lesson from that.

No, that's well, that's not good. Did you feel that? That's like, I'm like, I'm like feeling the friction. I'm like, nope, that's good. I'm good on that. 100% I'm fine. After that fiasco, you weren't like, let's over, let's overdo it at least for a week. No, let's compensate. Yes. I know I Definitely like if it was like, okay if it's possible to Hoist these hoist these pieces up and shut my tailgate so that obviously it's not able to fall out I would do that, but I've been moving stuff. I've probably gone to Home Depot and put stuff in the back of my truck. I Don't know 200 200 times. Sure.

It's like I've driven so many times in my life without an accident, but the week after I back into something, I'm going to be extra careful when I'm backing up. Yeah, I would ratchet strap myself into the car. If I had, if I did like more panels, like the panels specifically that fell out were plasticky on the top. And so they're a little more, I knew that they were going to be more slick. That's why I didn't take the highway. I knew this would happen. No, I didn't know it was going to happen. I did. I did. I checked. I checked it. I was like, OK, let's see. No, we're good.

It was really it was the great is the stoplights fault. If you didn't ever have to stop or suddenly start, you're fine. And we never even hear about the fiasco. We're fine, yeah. Yeah, that was wild. That was just carrying the things back and forth on my head. I will say, when you're scared like that, you're way stronger. A little adrenaline?

Yeah, just like, sometimes it's kind of hard to maneuver those things, no problem then. Yeah. Just threw that thing up there and start running. You're like a pregnant mom flipping the car car kind of. 100% like that. I want to feel what that feels like. I got to be scared enough I guess. I'll scare you buddy. What do you need? What are you scared of? I think it's like, I think Rachel's trapped under the car. You want me to trap Rachel in the car for

you? No, no. I don't want to be a human. No, no, no, just a different girl. But I think it's Rachel. And then if she does, she dies. And then, yeah, it makes the news, but like, yeah. But you did it. And you're gonna be like, save her. The whole time you're not gonna be able to do it

because you're gonna think to yourself, this is just Brad setting this up. This is some other story. Yeah. Time. I know you have a story, but I just realized I said something. Timer, do you want to talk about backing up out of the driveway? Oh, I do. Yeah. So I have no fun way to tell this story. I don't think, but like we got home from Illinois recently and my sister had to like quick turn around, get ready to go back to college. She had to like move back in for the semester and then like her car wasn't starting. So she was kind of stressed out, kind of in a rush.

And then she eventually was like, I have to take that our truck because her car wasn't working. So just in her rush. And I'm like trying to paint her in like a pretty positive light, but it was kind of a dumb situation. But like she just like was rushing and just backed the truck straight into my car in our driveway, the back of my new sport, back of my new sportage. So like it wasn't like a side swipe or like she just like didn't see your car behind. She like and yeah, I'll give it. She was like very, she was stressed, stressed.

It makes sense. It was fine. But she was like she and credit to her, she like came in right away. She's like, I did something bad. Like she was like, I was backing up and like there was like the beeping. But by the time I heard the beeping, I'd already hit it. And I was like, OK, in the moment, I was like, that's kind of annoying. But then it's fine now. And so like, okay. In the moment I was like, that's kind of annoying, but that

it's fine now. And so like, how bad was it? Not crazy. I'm taking it today to see like to the guy, the dealership guy and just like for him to kind of evaluate it and see how much it would cost. It's just like a kind of a, one of the panel things is kind of like dislodged and like there's like the tail light is kind of like hanging a little bit, but I think it's, it's's it'll be not that bad I don't think but in the moment. I was like Anna. It's our driveway's ice. Why are you going fast anyway? Yeah, sure But yeah, no it was it was great that happened some feel for her though. You're like one track Oh, yeah, I feel so bad for her

Yeah, but it's yeah, she's gonna be even more late. She's got a she's to come and tell you yeah But no, it'll be all good. That's a bummer. Yeah. The supportage. All right. Get off your high, high lungs. All right.

Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, all these different whatever the basement stuff's going well. Now I'm working on the ceiling hat, you know, so I'm doing research on YouTube. That's fun. Like in any time any little problem comes up, I'm like, OK, that's a new challenge. Like I can figure this out, you know, rather than like, I don't know anything. How am I supposed to do any of this? Like now I'm like seeing steps in my head of like, once I do this, then we can do this. And anyway,

so now I'm working on the ceiling, ceiling without getting too many details. It's like pieces of wood with drywall in between them for like almost like a tiled look, if you will. That's, that's the simple way. And so I'm buying pieces of wood at Home Depot. And if you don't know Home Depot very well, because I didn't before doing 200 truckloads without anything coming off the back, there's like two entrances basically, like one entrance that's like kind of like the more everyday thing, entrance where it has trash bags and light bulbs and whatever. And then there's like the contractor entrance with like lumber and plywood and all that stuff over on the other side.

And so I go through that lumber entrance and within that lumber entrance, there's like a long wide aisle for the lumber. There's multiple aisles, but there's like one aisle and Home Depot, the Home Depot I go to, kind of annoying, but also they mean well by doing this. They take that aisle and basically divide it into two by putting the carts in the middle of it. Okay? Okay. So there's like lumber carts, right? Like they're different looking shopping cart kind of things. And so I am picking up some wood. It's like late at night, eight o'clock. No one else is there really.

I'm picking up wood. I go to the left side of the aisle. You know, it's divided by these carts. Left side of the aisle and I'm picking up eight foot pieces of wood over here. And then I realized, oh, I also need a few 10 footers. 10 footers are on the other side of the aisle. So I have to like walk around these carts,

like go get them. And as I'm like picking out the good looking 10 footers are on the other side of the aisle. So I have to like walk around these carts, like go get them. And as I'm like picking out the good looking 10 foot pieces, I noticed that there's a guy wanting to get some wood from where I parked my cart to get the first kind of wood. Make sense? Yes. And so I see this, like once again, we are the only people in the store basically.

And I like, I yell over to him like, Oh, sorry, man. I'll get that in just a second. Sorry, sorry, sorry. That's my cart. I'll get it. Um, no response. And um, you know, I'm like, you try to over there. Let's get the, let's see. No, but like, and so I'm like, once again, sorry, man, that's mine. No response. And then I literally like go over there with my 10 footer board, put it on there and push it out of the way. And I'm like, sorry, man, I don't know. And he, he didn't even look at me, but like didn't say a thing. And so valid or get off my high horse. I went from apologetic to like kind of annoyed with this guy. Is that valid or is it just like, Hey, if you from apologetic to like kind of annoyed with this guy.

Is that valid or is it just be like, Hey, if you're apologetic, you should just be apologetic regardless of, you know what I mean? No, I think, yeah, you get, you're allowed to switch. Really? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. And he's deaf. Well, but then sign something to me. I can sign back. You know what I'm saying? I'm sorry. You're in the business that you YouTube everything these days. You figured out. My bad. You just say my bad. That's, I think a lot of football players are deaf. They're just always like, it's on me. A lot of wide receivers are, I feel like if they drop a pass, they very deaf.

And they do all those deaf, uh, Superbowl dance, like touchdown dances. Yeah. Sometimes they'll get flagged for them. Cause you sign language for gun. Yeah, exactly. We get flagged for him. Cause you do the wrong- Sign language for gun. Yeah, exactly. We know what they're doing. So anyway, I was just like- Yeah, you go from so just like, oh, nice night. Oh, so sorry.

Oh, what are the odds of this? Oh, sorry. Slow night. Like we're not like, he's not a contract. Like he doesn't, you can tell the difference between like the guys that are at Home Depot all the time and have a Home Depot credit card and account and everything. This guy's a dad.

This guy's a DIY warrior, you know? Like just there doing a little something. And it was like, maybe he didn't hear me. And then there was one time we were within this close to each other. And I said it a third time, sorry, man. And no response. Yeah.

Not even like, I don't know. If you would have even like looked at me and been like, yeah, it's kind of annoying. I think that would have been, I would have felt bad still. Like you saw on the apology side, you're on the defense. But just like completely like there's no way he didn't hear me unless he's deaf. You still have the deaf theory. Unless he's deaf.

So anyway. Yeah, I think you're fair. You're validated. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. It's fine. But yeah, I'm learning, learning new things on the basement project. Never bought drywall before.

Buying some drywall. Learn how to cut it. Harder than it looks. I've seen that kind of thing they use. We've used it before. When did we use it? The 2020 basement. Is it a, what's that type of saw?

2020 basement circular saw? Circular saw maybe? Is that type of saw? 2020 basement circular saw circular saw maybe that we use For that one, I don't remember what I use. Okay. I don't know. Yeah, I think I've seen people cut drywall before I don't know anything. Yeah, no you can use like a knife like a little utility knife pair of scissors. Yeah Honestly, you probably could use a pair of scissors if you really wanted to but you ever have like a spare piece where like, I'm just going to like pretend like I'm a frat dude with hanger problems and just like punch a hole in this? Sometimes on accident, I'll have a spare piece because I break it and I take it out of anger and just throw it on the ground or something. Give us something you have to hold yourself to.

I think it'd be fun to check in every week. Give us a completion date. Oh, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Super freaking bowl. It's gotta be done by Super Bowl. Yeah. Cause I had that thought too.

100%, Scott asked me, he's like, is it gonna be great for the Super Bowl? I was like, I'm trying my hardest. And the funny thing was I didn't even consider the fact that the Chiefs wouldn't be in the Super Bowl. So we have to watch the Chiefs at Super Bowl? Yeah, the Chiefs will be in the Super Bowl and we watch it at my house.

Therefore the base has of Super Bowl. Yeah, the Chiefs will be in the Super Bowl and we watch it at my house. Therefore, the baseman's got to be ready. I don't know if every single percentage is going to be ready by then, but it's definitely going to be inhabitable by the Super Bowl. I might not make a storage door and hang it up by then. Let me pin you pin you hold you into some other stuff then. Chiefs predictions for the Texans game that was two days ago. Yeah, we won by we won easily.

We won by 17, but we should have won by 24. They got a garbage time touchdown. Really? Dude, I'm either all in or not in at all. And for this game, especially it's like, yeah, we're we're going to dominate. So a week ago on our Patreon episode, you guys should listen to it. We gave a full playoff preview. I don't take anything back.

I still I still agree with what you're about to say. But like, yeah, a week ago, Brad was like, I think I'm less optimistic about this Chiefs team going into the season or going into the playoffs than I was last year. And I think Brad realized it's kind of a hot take. Most Chiefs fans would not feel the same way, but now a week later.

This game. Oh, this game. This game. We're not losing to the Texans at home on three weeks rest. It obviously could happen. It's going to be a bummer when people are like, I know what happened. This is crazy that Brad's, you know, whatever, but. Could happen an early Mahomes injury.

It's also playoffs, anything happens, but an eight and a half point favorite in the divisional round is almost unheard of. That's how much it is. Yeah. So, I mean, obviously the Chiefs should win, but who knows? Yeah, we... And I always think the Chiefs hold so many plays back for the playoffs.

It seems to kind of be the formula. It does. And so, like, Andy knows things that no one else knows, and they're not going to be able to predict. And therefore, we're going to run plays and it's going to work. And yeah, we're just gonna keep doing it. Among chiefs apologists the last two years, it's like, yeah, they're winning games, but barely.

They're not blowing teams out. Everyone who comes to defend the chiefs is always like, well, Andy's saving plays for the playoffs. He's not showing his full hand. Those people have a lot riding on the chiefs offense looking dynamic the next three weeks. Yeah. Cause if not, then it's like,

well, maybe they weren't that good. Maybe they were barely beating teams. I mean, they were barely beating. I was talking to Scott about this and I was like, we could have lost however many games, seven games. I don't know how many there were. And so it's like, I don't know. That's why I'm less optimistic.

But this game, easy dub. CJ Stroud, I'm less optimistic, but this game easy dub CJ shroud I'm not I'm not ready to crown him more like more like CJ Meh Good. Yeah, CJ loud fart noise. Yep. Yeah

CJ loud Fun, uh, shall we do our reviews of the week? Let's do it. Well, all right then. Pulling mine up. Always catches me by surprise. I never think we'll do it. And then we do every Monday.
