Later this episode, we are, or wait, I'm supposed to, Brad. Yes. Later this episode, we're gonna talk about Shred Plan 2025 for all of us. Timon's shown some interest. Yep, yeah. Timon was getting shreddy two years ago with Zach. I got a video of him.

Yeah, deadlifting. Yeah, oh, deadlifting, yeah. But we're not the only ones. I think I've mentioned this before on the podcast, but my dad, my father-in-law, my uncle. My coach. All keeping each other accountable, texting every single day because they are also working out.

I shared last week, my dad had to run a mile in his dress clothes and loafers. He said he got a planter's wart from it. He said, it's miserable. Oh, I don't even know what that means. I asked him too. He said, it's like some wart, but it's like, it's above the skin.

It's not like something you can even treat. He said, just on the arch of his foot. It's miserable So, I mean of course is even what was not even where I was gonna go with this but his hillbilly solution I was like he's gonna get like a I think an insole But cut out the part where his work touches it so it doesn't have extra So it's got a little like room to like breathe a little bit. Got a warthole. A little warthole. Okay.

So they're doing that, but. They have a name for their group. Yeah, Coach's Boys. Coach's Boys. Coach's Steve's. But Rachel was FaceTime with her parents the other night and I walked into the room when Steve Koop was saying that apparently they all shared with each other

their before pictures. Oh wow. We have to get our hands on those. I haven't seen them yet, but we have to somehow. So apparently they've all. What if we went neck down and we tried to guess whose was whose? You would know like, oh, that's my dad's bathroom.

Yeah, I could get it off skin alone. I mean, John's had open heart surgery, give away. Steve Coop's torso looks like the Grinch, give away. My dad's the third one. Yeah. No, but it was so funny hearing him. I mean, because Steve is like, almost like, just giggling so much he can't even tell us.

He's just like, we sent each other shirtless pictures. You know, just like, he can't believe that he even did this. And the funniest part, he was like, cause maybe he had Angie take him because he said, he's like the worst part, he's like, I can't believe how wide my lower back is. He's grossed out by his own lower back. So apparently he took pictures like in the front,

the side, and then somehow the back. And he's like, I just can't believe my lower back. So sorry, Steve, I'm talking about on the podcast, but yeah, he was mortified. Oh no, it's okay. It's okay, by now it's not that bad. So yeah, it was just really fun. His lower back.

His lower back is gross. I was telling him also on the call, I was like, Steve, we need to get you in shape because we did that, the video I edited of you, it's going viral. So at the time, it had 200,000 views. This is the one, the fake Christmas card.

And Rich and Susan, he couldn't believe it, doing his voice. Oh my gosh, 200,000. 200,000, that's bigger than Iowa. Yeah, he said that's 199,000 more people than have ever seen me. Yeah, yeah. You can't even wrap his head around it.

Guess how many views it has now. 650,000. It is up to 429,000 views. 429,000 views. And the one before that, me and Rachel running, 417,000 views. So you,000 views. And the one before that, me and Rachel running 417,000 views. So you're gonna be like a narrating guy now? I'm gonna think of a voiceover guy now.

Yeah. I've made that joke with Rachel. I'm like, hey, should we make a video about this? She's like, I don't know. I'm like, we go viral. That's what we do in this family. We're triplets. We get through this, we're going to figure it out.

We will figure it out, we will get shredded. And we're going to go viral. We will go viral, that's what we do. That's what we do. Gonna be a great episode. Gonna be a great episode, let's roll those theme music time in. Let's roll those. Let's roll those.

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 a ghost from the Spock can. Ghost from the Spock can.

Every Monday morning we're taking grand-ma's from the Spock can. Go for a Spock can? I'm going to get this splinter out by the end of the episode. That'll be fun. We're not going to be able to stop until we get it out. Good retention. Yeah. The five things I'm going to do to shred my body in 2025,

before Brad gets his splinter out, stay tuned to the end to see what he names it. It's modern YouTube. I took nine minutes this morning, Jake, we'll call it. And I made up some Nicknames slash puns for your weight loss journey. No shred journey shred journey. Yeah Thank you. I don't think you're really trying to lose weight as much you're trying to just tone up Yeah, all these apps ask me like are what's your weight now? First of all don't know. Well, what's your goal weight? Also don't know. Yeah

Look better. Look better. Yeah, you're potentially trying to gain mass if it's in the right ways. So. Who knows? A couple of, if you're a fan of. Nine minutes worth. I just wanna say thanks in advance. You're welcome. That's a little good amount of time to brainstorm.

Hey, this is a ghost. You know, yeah, early morning I was like, I gotta do something for the podcast here, you know? So if you're a fan of like mediocre niche quarterbacks, we call you Shreddy, Shreddy Benchwater. Okay. Kind of like Teddy Bridgewater or Shreddy Bruschke. Oh, I like that one.

All right. If you're more of a history fan, we call you Shreaddora Roosevelt and we can nickname you to Shreddy. Yeah, I was gonna say, why not Shreddy Roosevelt? No, Shreaddora is kind of fun. Shread-O-R-A-R-O-S-E-V-E-L-T, and we can nickname you to Shreddy. You always say, why not Shreddy Roosevelt? No, Shread-O-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-D-O-R is kind of fun. Shread-O-R-A-R-A-D-O-R? And your famous quote will be,

walk softly and carry a big water bottle. Ooh. You know? Yeah. Because you're worried about. What's my Louisiana purchase? Louisiana, yeah, whatever. You need some energy before, you know, working out.

You need some caffeine. You're not going, you're going to gain street roasters. Okay. Hey Jake, but don't turn into a jerk. You know, one of those CREA teenage dirt bags. Cause I'm just a Ctin, cretin age. I actually really liked that song. Well then listen to it while you're working.

Here's something, no idea who sings it because everyone's done a cover of it. Oh really? Yeah, I have no idea who sings that song. I think it's the guy that it's the it's the guy from Drake and Josh, the Drake. Drake Bell. Yep, Drake Bell. Okay, you're more of an astronomy guy. You're more of a dreamer. Look up in the stars. Always looking up in the stars. You're probably seeing, that's a nice

proteining gibbous. Well, I don't want to look up too much in the stars. I'll be a Capra cornball. That's good. I'm trying to fix? I'm going to the gym because I'm a little too saggy terrius. No. Thoughts? Questions? Saggy terrius.

Pepper corn. That's good. You don't need nine minutes. Hey, what's in pre-workout? Is it taurine or taurus? I was looking into that this week. We'll get to that later. Attention.

Hey, you're a Chiefs fan, so I bet your favorite type of workout? What? Cardio. Maybe some Cardio B. There you go. That was around six minute mark that I've gotten to there. So we're almost done. Your, your favorite type of animal? Gym rat.

Freaking gym rat dude. Yeah, myself, which is gym rat. Uh, the way you greet people these days, Jake, you don't say hello. You don't say hi. You say sup. Lament. Okay. Last but not least, your favorite kind of cereal?

Golden. What? People might think it's shredded wheat. It's still cinnamon toast crunch. Okay. Okay, you're a human, you're a person. It's not everything about your life is not just about getting shredded.

There are not puns everywhere. No, it's just realistic. So there you go. Cinnamon toast brunch. Cinnamon toast long. Cinnamon toast lunch. Lunch. Lunch, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that's been Shreddy Nicknames with Brad. Cinnamon toast. Cinnamon toast lunch. Lunch. Lunch.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that's been shredding nicknames with Brad. Thank you. Nine minutes. Maybe I should just do nine minutes of X, like prepare for this thing. Nine minutes of brainstorming. Shreddy Bridgewater.

That's very fun. Thank you. You bet. Should we talk shred fest? Shred or? Yeah. How's it going? So here's where we're at.

First of all, I was thinking about this while I was laying in bed last night too, is like, I was trying to figure out, just like, I feel like I always have some like new update or something going on in my life. I'm like, is this because I podcast and the podcast is building this like habit in me where I always need to have some new hobby or new thing going on. And I was like, I think I've always the podcast is building this like habit in me where I always need to have

some new hobby or new thing going on. And I was like, I think I've always kind of been like this, but the podcast is probably helping. But anyway, so if you weren't sick of, if you're getting sick of pickleball, well, hopefully maybe I'll replace all my pickleball talk with shred talk. I just think that's gotta be a lot of content

in the future. Just giving people a heads up. We're gonna be talking about our workout and our improvement. So I was planning on starting last Monday. Not a good start already to the sentence, you know, but. I thought you were gonna say, and I was so eager. I just went on Friday, just to see what it was like.

No, not quite. Basically a couple of things made me delay it. One is I went on to order a bunch of meals from Factor to just try and organize all my meals and everything. And they said the earliest we can get it to you is Monday, January 20th. I was like, good, I wanna have TikTok by then, MLK day, inauguration day.

This is what MLK would have wanted, I think, is for me to start losing weight. And then another thing I wanna do is, cause I think this will motivate me. It's one thing to be like, compare in the mirror. Like, I think I look, I think I look better. I wanna do it like almost like data back. So I'm gonna get a DEXA scan,

which is like a full body like composition scan that measures like your fat, where your fat is at, like where you're storing it specifically compared to other like adult males, your muscle mass, your bone density, just like a true like data driven scan as a before and after as well. Cool.

Cause I think that'll like, I will like that. And it'll motivate me. Yeah. Go back at six months and check. It'd be fun to like, I always think it'd be fun. Like people talk about that or like getting their blood work. I'm always like, I'd be curious to see what's going on in there.

Why don't I toss a little blood in? Yeah. See what they think. Yeah. Yeah. I should do that too. Where do you go to get a Dexascan? Lenexa. Lenexa.

Shreveport. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. St. Charles, Louisiana has got the best one in town. I don't know. It was just closest. Yeah. So Lenexa.

And the earliest they could get me in was also Monday, January 20th. I was like, you know what? I think that's a sign. I'll just start on that Monday then. So I'm not trying to avoid it. I'm actually really excited. So I've already started logging my meals

just to kind of get in the habit of doing it and to kind of give myself a little baseline. Okay, what have you learned? So the first day I actually started logging it logging it actually had a ton of protein that day because I I played pickleball at a place that had a smoothie king next to it and they've got a smoothie that's got 45 grams of Protein in it. Okay, so that was a pretty good day. I think which one is that the Hulk gladiator gladiator Yeah, that's a good one because it's also like Good like it's also like good.

Yeah, it wasn't too bad. Yeah. That was one of the first, cause I had that and then I had something else protein that night. And like, it's hard to describe it. You could like feel the protein in your stomach. Like it feels different than food. I feel like.

Oh, interesting. It like felt, I felt enlarged. Yeah. I felt huge. Or just like bloated, I guess would be the word. Then yesterday, yesterday was the day when Rachel took my car, I'm stuck at home. Oh yeah.

Didn't eat as well yesterday, but that's fine. I'm establishing a baseline. Sure. So when it was all said and done, I only had 2000 calories yesterday eating, but boy did I put a hurt on the sodium because I had pizza rolls for lunch. I've never tracked sodium.

You tracked that? My fitness pal That's like a goal that like says like this much sodium. I think it gives recommendations. Okay, I demolish that what was the Culprit the pizza rolls. Okay, and just about anything I eat. I think I also had torches tacos that night Okay, I didn't help. Yeah So it's fun. I'm starting to get into tracking it Interesting. I've never worried about sodium and maybe I should. I don't know that much. I would think if I'm doing a lot of cardio or if I'm

sweating a lot today, sodium is probably fine to be over on. Yeah. If you're not sweating a lot today and over time have a ton of sodium. That hurts your heart. I think Rachel's told me this. I think that's actually how you get diabetes. Everyone thinks it's sugar, but it's sodium attacking your system. And then once you have diabetes, now it affects your insulin, pancreas and sugar intake.

Oh really? Okay. Could be wrong. No, I think that's right. Anyway, so it's fun. I'm just getting way more into it. I had a, I was laying in bed one night, Rachel's asleep and I'm just getting way more into it. I was laying in bed one night, Rachel's asleep, and I'm having a 25 minute conversation with ChatGPT. Just asking it everything.

You know, hey, here's who I am, here's what I... Yeah, just here's my life. I don't have my Dex's skin yet, okay, but I kind of know what's going on here. And here's my goals, here's what I'm thinking. What else would you suggest? What else would you suggest nutrition wise? What are things I'm not thinking of?

Okay, I hear about pre-workout. What is that? What's in pre-workout? What are the pros and cons? I've also heard of creatine. Talk to me about creatine. It was great. GIGBT is so helpful for things like that.

Cause it's kind of like you're talking to an expert without having to find one. Sure. And I think I'm out on pre-workout. I don't think I need it. It seems like it's mainly just, there are some vitamins, nutrients, some stuff in there. It seems like it's mainly caffeine, yeah.

Yeah. Creatine though, you should take. Really? See, I also decided I was gonna be out on creatine. You think I should take it though? If I understand your goals are to get shreddy, I think creatine is your thing. Because I think creatine, from what I understand,

you've done chat GBT work, so you might know more. Creatine is naturally found in steak. And it's like, and so interesting. But you're not eating red meat, obviously, very much, or at all. And so therefore, you're not getting much creatine. And creatine just adds more muscle mass, adds more like, it doesn't obviously by itself, but I think what it does is it

puts more water in your muscles. That's correct. And therefore, makes your recovery time better, and therefore, makes you able to lift heavier weight, which then the heavier weight you're lifting, obviously, makes you stronger. Okay, I will look more into creatine. I feel like almost anybody, if you ever like see somebody

that's a big dude, like strong dude, I bet if you ask them, they'd be like, yeah, I take creatine. Gotcha, and I wonder how far creatine has come. Maybe it stays the same, but I remember like in high school guys were taking creatine and they had like some side effects to it. Kidney stones is like, I told you about that a couple of weeks ago. Okay.

That's the only thing from what I, people always- Is that for dehydration? Cause they were, Chad Gft was talking about that. People love the idea of like, if you look up creatine, it'll say it's the most researched supplement in the world or something like that.

Like, and so I don't think there's really any bad, quote unquote, bad side effects to it except it stores more water in you. Therefore you need more water or else you will get dehydrated and have the stones, which I'm terrified of the stone. I don't want the case. No, dude. That's why I'm like, that's why I'm like a gallon and a half of water just to make sure good for you.

So do you take creatine? I haven't taken it in like a while. And like, I honestly, I was taking it every day until the pheasant hunt. All right. And I was like, I'll take it during pheasant hunt. And I just forgot. And then I have gotten off track with it.

How do you take it? Black? It's just a powder. And you just mix it in water. And it's like, it's flavorless. You can put it in your anything. Oh, so easy. Really easy.

One other thing I did just to gear it up for this is I asked Rachel if I could have a portion of the of the kitchen counter you saw today. That was my section. Okay. That's a prime real estate section. It's great. It's a great section right by the garage door. Yeah.

And so I got myself my own blender. Rachel's becoming pretty anti-plastic. So he's like, you got to get a glass or like a stainless steel blender. Rachel's going through the process right now. I just filled up my water in your refrigerator. And I was like, everything in here is like Catherine Ellis approved.

I'll tell you, my product of the year already, it's January, 2025, lactose free milk. Milk is back in my life and oh, it's good. And I swear it's a little sweeter, the lactose free. Maybe. It's good though. Okay. So calcium's back, but yeah, so I got my own glass blender.

I've got some protein. I've got some iron pills that I take because I'm not getting anywhere else. And then I've got some, pills that I take. So I'm not getting anywhere else. And then I've got some, I did way so much research just to buy one like multivitamin. But me and Chad GPT, we're talking. I was like, I hear magnesium, pretty good. And did you learn there's all sorts

of different types of magnesium? No, oh geez. Ah crap, don't worry about it. Sometimes, honestly dude, like all the things that you were talking about, I'm like, if I were you, as you were saying, I was like, I wouldn't want to do this. Cause like some, to me, I'm trying to lose weight and just be healthier in general. And it's like, there's a million ways you can do it. And it's like, to me, it's just like, just do it with Sam Pei. Just get the prescription already. I am not on those are

big for the record. But whatever. But no, like the, yeah, like it's like, just keep it simple. I'm just trying to have better habits basically. Like, cause like the more you learn, the more it's like, golly, I can't have that milk because of this. I can't, this stuff has that in it and it whatever. And it's like, you got to have a nice distance from the truth. Find that, find the balance of like, okay, I'm not going to be able to rid myself

of every toxin in the world. Yeah. But I understand that it sounds like plastics are kind of bad for you. So therefore let's, let's not do everything in plastic. Yeah. You know what I mean? But yeah, try to find the balance. So there's like, from what I understand, once again,

not an expert, but I think there's like magnesium that helps you sleep. There's magnesium that helps brain function. Like, I don't know. There's different things. Learned about fish oils. Yeah. Seemed pretty helpful.

Okay. So I was just trying to find like one vitamin that's just got everything in it. Catherine's gonna be so pumped to talk to you about all this. Finally found one. Actually, Tymon was here when I took it for the first time. They look like, it looks like they're gummies. It looks like Mountain Dew made these. Okay. And I feel like I found the one multivitamin with the most time. Yeah. They look like, it looks like they're gummies. It looks like Mountain Dew made these.

Okay. And I feel like I found the one multivitamin with the most stuff in it. Tastes amazing. It's hard not to just eat them on, have them in my coffee. Okay. You know, they're awesome. So, yeah. So I got the station set up.

Um, and yeah, I'm all excited. What's that Chuck Norris thing? Yeah. Oh wait, what? It's called Roundhouse. It's got ashwagandha in it and spirulina or. Why did I buy? I think I did research on ashwagandha and it's really good for you. Yeah. Catherine has some like mushroom coffee thing that. Yeah. And I'm, I tried it. I was like, that tastes so bad.

Yeah. So it's ashwagandha and like maybe one other thing that's like, oh yeah, just throw it in, whatever. It's flavorless, it's really good for you. So I'm just fully diving in. Because that was the whole thought behind this. I don't wanna just cut out sugar, nothing will happen. Ride a mile a day, nothing will happen. You gotta go for it if you're trying to see results.

Monday, by the time you're listening to this, I'm three days in. Okay. Do you have a workout plan yet? Or is it? Yes, I did some more research on an app because my fitness pal, like you can pay for. Yeah, the premium.

Like exercises. And maybe I'm an idiot, but I feel like I looked at this a couple of times and even using the premium version, the workouts they give you, almost all of them are like at home workouts. It was not what I was looking for. You wanna go to the gym.

Do these back squats, this weight, this rep, now go to here, do whatever. It wasn't that. So I did some research, found an app called FitBod that was very highly reviewed. Gotta try that out. I said, because you set, so many apps, you couldn't set how many days a week you wanted to work. Such an easy functionality, you'd be surprised. I said, because you set so many apps, like you couldn't set how many days a week

you wanted to work. Such an easy functionality, you'd be surprised. They don't let you set that. That what they just tell you how many? Three, you're gonna do it three days a week. Like, no, I'm not. You should look into that. Just be, whatever.

Don't over-complicate it, do whatever you want. But I think there might be value to like not doing it every six days a week. Okay. I don't know what it is, but I think maybe like your muscles need time to, I don't know. I feel like I've heard, there's people out there that are so jacked and they don't work out every day.

I don't know why. Maybe it's just cause they don't have time. But there's probably, it's probably more realistically just like, no, because we don't think everyone's gonna be able to be motivated to do it six days a week. Yeah, who knows? I'm sure I'll find a balance at some point,

but yeah, at least at the beginning, it's like, let's really dedicate to doing this. And then it's easier to scale back rather than like, I wanna go from three up to six now. Yeah, dude, that's awesome. So I think that's everything. Rachel got me some protein cereal. Yeah, magic spoon? some protein cereal. Yeah.

Magic spoon? Not magic spoon. Okay. The brain is Catalina crunch, I think, or something like that. Yeah. Heard of it? Heard of it. So $7 gets you about, I don't know, spoonful.

About, yeah, about a bowl and a half. It's crazy. It's insane. I mean, it comes in a bag like this. It's like a paper bag. Okay. Let me look this up. And I mean, there's really not bag like this. It's like a paper bag. Okay, let me look this up and I mean, there's really not much in it. It's crazy and

So I was like well before I pour a whole bowl it's cinnamon toast crunch flavored supposed to be a little bit I was like before I pour a whole bowl this let me have a couple and see what it tastes like Have a couple dry. I'm like, oh, that's way better than I thought it was gonna be when I heard protein cereal I was was like, okay. It says, this is my first day of tracking my calories. I'm like, all right, it says, serving size is only half cup. Why is that so small? No, full cup. And then, you know, lactose free milk, yeah, full cup of that too.

And yeah, first like five, six bites. Oh my gosh, I'll do this every morning. I can't believe this is good for me. This tastes amazing. And then something happened, maybe it got soggy gosh. I'll do this every morning. I can't believe this is good for me. This tastes amazing. And then something happened, maybe it got soggy, maybe it got sick of the protein. It turned into dog food. Oh really? Really quickly.

Yeah, just straight dog food. Like in what way? In the consistency of it or in like the taste? Like it all of a sudden just tasted gross to you. Yes, it got soggy, but it was also just like, I can't eat any more of this. How did I like it so much five minutes ago? And now I just, I can't eat it. So would you have like half of it? Yes, I got soggy, but it was also just like, I can't eat any more of this. How did I like it so much five minutes ago? And now I just, I can't eat it.

So would you have like half of it? Yes, I just had half. And I was like, dang, they kind of, my money was not service size. So I don't know. It could have been just like the protein, just like filling me up super quickly. There's a chance it was that.

I don't know. I just like couldn't eat it anymore. So have you done it again? No, I haven't. I wonder if it's like ruined forever now, or if it's like. I'll give it a go again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I'm excited to see their other flavors. Maybe I just, yeah, maybe just the flavor just wears on you really quickly. Huh, I feel like I've heard that brand, but I've never like even seen the packaging when I looked it up. Yeah, we have one called Magic Spoon at our house. I've heard of it.

They went really hard on influencers there for a while. It tastes really good. It tastes really good. Oh, it does. I've heard not so much, but I never had it. Also, I haven't had real cereal in a long time. Like, Catherine's not a cereal buyer for our family. And so, I mean, besides cinnamon toast crunch on vacations or something, we don't eat it very often. But like, I was looking at the nutrition facts of honey,

bunches of oats, see if I could get away with this. Like, it's a little sugar. There's a little protein in there though. Some vitamins. Yeah. But yeah, that tastes good. I think, I think that magic spoon tastes really good. But then Catherine was excited about it for a while. Now she doesn't think the ingredients are good anymore. Oh no. She's like, I read too much. That's what I'm saying. Like there is like a value or like a balance between like, you know, reading too much, like learning too much. That's what I'm saying. Like there is like a value or like a balance between like, you know, reading too much, like learning too much. And then all of a sudden it's like,

well, can't use that anymore. I have to make my own cereal. Dude, you know what? Um, little thing I think you taught this to me and you'd be surprised. It's like one of those things, little things like, I can't believe that's what you like. Like the one thing you're saying by funeral is like, yeah, he told me I before he except after C and it was like, Oh, I never, he explained it so well. No, it's a, it's actually when you were looking up sponsors for like Ghostrunners and Jean shorts, you would do a thing where like you would think of one brand that you know, and then you would type in versus that's such a great hack for multiple uses. Like for instance, you could type in Catalina crunch

versus, and then see all the protein cereal. Yeah, that's a great hack It's like, okay. Yeah, I use it all the time That's great. Yeah, it is a very effective. You just like alright, you know, Blackstone's probably not gonna sponsor us But we'd love to have a grill company sponsor as we do good rancher stuff Blackstone versus I see a lot of bombas socks I don't know if we can get in touch with them, but maybe someone like them. Totally. Bomba socks versus. Yeah, genius. Am I pronouncing that right?

You have any bombas? Bombas. I don't have any myself, but people swear by them. People like them. They're just a sock. How much could it improve your life? New socks are nice. New socks are nice.

I bought a, I got a fresh fleet on the feet these days. Yeah, now that you say it, I got a bunch of socks for Christmas and I love them. Yeah, but you could get new socks from the dollar store and they'd still be awesome. They're just tight. They fit nice. Yeah, they are pre-wash.

And they're so white. They're so white. Yeah, hurt your eyes, it's so white. Oh, that's blinding me. How would Joe Biden say, talk about his new socks? Every morning I like to put on my new socks and then sit down for a nice bowl of corn pops. Didn't expect corn pops, that got me.

It's his name, it's also a cereal's name. I think he calls other people corn pop as well. Yeah, hey corn pop. Hey corn pop. Hey, you're well. Alley pop. You're an alley cat, corn pop. Yeah, that's exciting.

So yeah, you feel like you're able to get your protein in every day. No, 150 grams or, I mean, getting your body weight seems impossible. I was even gonna try that for 150. Ain't even that. It seems like so much work. Yeah, it's like, that's why chicken is your friend, dude.

Or like meat. Yeah. Like you look like shrimp, like tons of protein and shrimp. You like shrimp? Not that much, I could learn. Yeah, cottage cheese, another great one. Yeah, Rachel's like, you need to learn to I could learn. Yeah, cottage cheese, another great one. Rachel's like, you need to learn to like egg whites.

Okay, yeah, but eggs, I don't know how much they really have. Like I think there's like six grams per egg or something like that, six or eight. Not, I mean, I'm just saying like, you can have- I just Googled egg sheite. Like spelled it like a sheite Muslim. I just put an S for the white. I spelled it like a Shiite Muslim. I just put an S for the white.

Yeah, one raw egg whites, three and a half grams of protein. Yeah, so it's like, you could learn how to like that or you could get Greek yogurt and just go hard on that and put honey and blueberries in there. You get 20 grams. So it's gonna be tough. I mean, thankfully, if I am working out, I'm at least burning who knows how many hundred calories. So at least I'll be hungrier to consume some more.

But yeah, I mean, yeah, we'll see what's possible. I mean, I have to do twice a day, a double serving of a protein shake, which feels like so much. Yeah, it is. It is. And that's the, that's the idea is like, people are like, oh, it's so hard. Like you had to eat so healthy. It's like, yeah, but you eat a lot of food. Like, it's not like you're like, I'm eating like a rabbit today and just having carrots and salad.

It's like, no. Yeah. Like eat a lot of chicken. Eat a pig out on some grilled. Yeah. That I think has a hundred grams of protein. In a 30 count? Yeah.

So get two eight counts and you'll be whatever that is You know, that's great I do think the calorie deficit is gonna be easier than I initially thought like the idea of like consuming less calories than you burn I don't know. It just seemed like I'm guessing that's hard. No, what's it called a basil? Metabolic rate BMR something like that is like like you burn a lot of calories just being alive every day. Yes. It's like 1800, 2000 or something. Like for my size and weight and everything.

It's like, so yeah, no problem. Yeah. And then my watch claims, if I do two hours of pickleball, I'm burning a ton of calories. It says like typically 1400 total, 1100 active. That's amazing. So that's great. Cause I I mean my heart rate is 125 for two hours straight. So, I mean that's it's a workout We burn in some calories. Yeah, totally. It's a lot though You're gonna you are gonna get frickin shreddy. Oh, yeah

If I stay disciplined in this which I think the podcast will keep me accountable Scott's really into this He wants to do it Derek's in on it. You're doing your own thing. Yeah. Timon. I'm down. I want to try something. What are you going to do? I'm talking to Zach. And I was like, because he's like worked out for a long time. I was like getting advice on stuff. I think the hardest part for me was going to be the food by far. Just like, well, just because I'm just not a hungry guy most of the time. Yeah. And so you don't have that dog in you. Yeah, I need to. Yeah, that's what I said. I wish I had that dog in me. Woof woof. I can get some dog food cereal.

Yeah, there you go. Yeah, you can have some today. Fill you up. I think I'm going to start with I didn't want to like start and just immediately pay a bunch for a gym membership or whatever. OK, I'm going to just start with a bunch of calisthenics stuff and like do body weight exercises, push-ups and pull-ups and all that kind of stuff.

And just try to do that every day or like regularly and then just eat a bunch of food. Because like Zach was like for, I mean like obviously focus on protein, but for me I'm like I'm just skinny and I want to like just gain weight in general. And so like just eating a bunch of food and also being mindful of protein I think is gonna be like just I want to like just gain weight in general. And so like just eating a bunch of food and also being mindful of protein, I think is going to be like, just, I want to eat more. I'm pretty sure. I feel like you're a stage of life.

It will be so easy for you to put on so much muscle right now. You need a bunch of, yeah, hope so. Yeah. Food, peanut butter, chicken. Yeah. Do pushups and setups. It'd be yoked. I see.

I know. I see like these young kids at the gym that are so scrawny, but I'm like, dude, you're just getting into the good habits right now and you're going to be so fit someday. Yeah. Like they're having a hard time. Like they're doing like the assisted pull up thing and they're like struggling with their arms. I'm like, you're going to be, if you're getting the habit now, yeah. Even if it's fine. Like even if this doesn't mean like when I'm like 28, I'm like, I have like chiseled. I just, I want to just at least like be good at building a habit, like and stuff like that.

I think that's going to be the main benefit. But that's great. Do you have anything in your home you can do dips on? I've heard dips are really good. Yeah. Chair, right? Or something like, could you just do it? Kitchen counter. Yeah. I think if you just find something

that's like a decently accurate height to whatever it needs to be. Put a chair against a wall. Yeah. A brother or something. I'll do a fricking dip right now. Kitchen Island and Jesse. Yeah. Yeah. Just a couple of like the young kids. I know you have my jeans. Yeah. Maybe that's maybe that like you have dip partners. And so one person goes on all fours and they are like that, that like they're trying to resist you the whole time. Yeah. You know, get some backs going. Yeah. I got a pull bar in the garage.

There you go. That's great. That should help. You ever done a pull up? Yeah. Yeah. How they go? No, I'm not good at them. I can do like, I can't do a single. I can do four, Matt, three max. I'd be probably right there with you. I haven't done one forever, but yeah, they're hard. Especially if you go all the way down. Yeah. I mean, it's like, I gotta go all the way up there.

Oh my God, it looks like you're 15 feet from it. Yeah, but it's tough. Which one's the harder one, the pull-up? What's pull-up and which one's chin-up? I don't know. Is the difference just, like, I feel like this is pull-up, this is chin-up. Okay, yeah, maybe so.

Maybe the- I think that's the, because one's like more back and stuff, and this one's a little more biceps said that sounds right. I don't know Where the bar have heard that what been the bar? That's what they say That's what the easiest way like oh that act like you're bending the bar exactly tell me for like Benching like you're bending it bending. Yeah Wow new technique unlocked new swing thought also big thing ago also that you're When you're benching

You're pushing the earth like you are pushing the earth away from the bar. You're not lifting the bar like you are Apparently think about that. I didn't know there were like swing thoughts for weightlifting This is great like something to keep in mind like right now because that's so so much of a like golf thing Of like yeah. All right. I'm sitting here. I'm about to do this All right, keep your wrist locked. Keep your, and now I have it for weightlifting. Keep them coming. What else you got?

I don't know. Bend the bar, push your earth down. I'm tempted to just like give you crap. Like just to be like, well, my friend said this and he was really smart about that versus thing when you Google things. So I don't know. I can't think of any other ones right now.

You, I mean, you're, you've done enough active stuff in your life to know how to push yourself. Tyman, give us a category for how to talk about this next ad, just a word really. Money. Mainstreet Rosters is a lot like money. You can always get more of it. You can always get more of it.

it's the only thing I ever think about when I think about ads and money. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be fun. I'm gonna have to like, get into way more podcasts or something, you know, it used to be 10 minutes a day throwing the headphones and now an hour every day.

Right when football season's ending. Oh, what am I gonna do? I've been audio booking, not while I work out. Nevermind, that's not a good idea for working out. Is it not? I don't know. I've never really like, sometimes I'll think, if I listen to this rap playlist, I'll work out so much better.

Look out, Max. Guess what? I'm still really tired halfway through a set. So I don't think that really. I think it can motivate, though. I think maybe running. Yeah. Maybe true, yeah.

Running. I think a good, when me and Zach would work out more a year or two ago, if you have a good song, it can, it can help you push. I think maybe for an hour. But if you need to get something. I'm trying to get a PR right now. I'm going to throw on this like rap song. In my head, it definitely works.

But the results don't seem like I'm like sometimes I'll listen. Like I'm listening to this book right now, the book about the endurance ship where they're just like stranded in Antarctica, basically. I'm doing just, honestly, it's not that much different. I'm working out pretty similarly. I've still got that dog in me. Yeah. That's what I noticed running.

It's like, yeah, I might be slightly faster at the end of my run if I push myself with music, but for the most part, podcasts help me distract myself more. It was more enjoyable to listen to podcasts. It was a valuable experience. For running, I like podcasts more, for sure. The all new FanDuel Sportsbook in Casino

I've heard, I mean, honestly, people talk about how walking is very effective. Like just walking, like resistance walking for, you put on a weighted, Walking. Okay. I mean honestly people talk about how walking is very effective like

Just walking like resistance walking for you put on a weighted weighted vest or something Oh, there you go anything to get your heart rate up, right? That's kind of the goal Yeah, there's like this trend or I don't know. I don't think it's a trend anymore, but it's called 12 330 Have I told you about that? It does have to me, but I forgot it. It's 12% Gray. Oh, yeah, three miles an hour for 30 minutes. I could try that. And I mean, you're sweating hard at the end of it. Right. And it's not-

And you're just walking. You're just walking. Yeah, you're not like going crazy fast, but when you're going at an incline like that for enough time. That's a great word. 12, 3.30. Other cardio.

I mean, basketball's gotta be one of the best cardio's. That's a good point. Just go shoot around or just. So Gunnar and I, Gunnar and I worked out the other day and we, we like, he came to a lifetime with me. We played games where we'd be like, all right, each of us to shoot 10 free throws, whoever, you know, loses has to run down and back for every. So like we shoot 10, I make seven, he makes five. He has to do two down and backs plus, you know, 15 pushups like times two. So like 30 pushups. And seven, he makes five. He has to do two down and backs plus 15 pushups times two.

So like 30 pushups. And so then he's tired and we're like, all right, let's do it again. Dude, we should do something. So we used to do this in high school basketball as kind of a, it was a really fun drill and exercise. We might need at least three people to do it though. So basically we're working on our free throws.

Our coach was big on like, we need to do these at the end of practice when you're tired. Yeah, 100%. And so you only shoot two at a time because it's like a game scenario. If you miss one, you got takeoff running. Yes. You gotta go down and back.

If the guy after you makes it before you get down, it adds another down and back. Oh. And every time as people continue to make them, it adds an additional down and back or a lap around the jam or something like that. Interesting. So people get on a heater and you're like, I just or a lap around the jam or something like that. Interesting.

So people get on a heater and you're like, I just ran a half mile. That was awful. Yeah. But as long as someone misses, then you're done and then they're running. That's their responsibility. Yeah. So it's really good, uh, kind of fun, but work out cause you get laughing too. Like you're screaming at the guy to miss it.

And so we could do that. Dude, honestly. Yeah. It was like, it was a great workout. I mean, it was just like, it was simple, but like, and it was a fun. And so then we moved to three pointers. And so like, if I beat him by one three pointer, it counted as three down and backs, you know, you know, 15 times, you know, so it's like, it was like, don't lose. It's like, okay, what if we tie? Then we both have to do X, Y, Z. How'd you do? I think I beat him. I think I beat him every time.

Dog. Oh, no, no. The first one we did was pig. And every time you got a letter, you had to go down and back. And I lost pig. So, but I beat him on free throws and three pointers. That a boy. Yeah, I knew what I was getting myself into.

But there was one time I beat him and I was like, solidarity brother. And I just did it with him. That's good. So yeah. Yeah, just like cardio. I think basketball is a great cardio. Yeah. Anything. You ever hopped on the bike? Not in a while. So yeah. Yeah. Just like cardio. I think basketball is great cardio. Yeah. Anything you were hopped on the bike? Uh, not in a while, but yeah, I've never done a stationary

bike or just getting a bike. I'm scared. I'm going to just like pedal off. What if it's going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, this one's off the track. Uh, yeah. Like, uh, get a real bike, get a bike and just bike places. Oh, bike, good time of year. Like a bicycle. It's like really heavy bike tires. Dude, have you ever seen snow stick around like this? In my lifetime, I've never seen snow.

I mean, I know in Iowa, Minnesota, you guys are used to this. I think I've never seen this. I think I have, but not quite. Like it feels like sometimes it'll melt half of it. And it still feels like we haven't melted much. Like we still have our driveways full of snow even. Yeah. It's kind of a bummer.

Which the next two days it might finally melt. But yeah, so Kansas City, I mean, we got like 12 inches of snow and then two straight weeks of like below freezing temperatures. Doesn't sound that crazy, but for our climate, that is kind of rare. And I think there's another polar vortex or whatever they call it in the end of January coming. Global warming, man. If I'm not golfing.

Climate change timing, please. I'm slacking on weather. I'm always hearing stuff from other people. I have a meteorologist friend. That's the only way I know. Because he's so popular this time of year. Because everyone's followed him on Instagram for school closings and like,

oh, we're gonna get so much. Well, how much ice? Yeah. Well, it's like a quarter of a size actually a lot. What's grapple? What is that? I've never heard of that. I never heard that word until like three years ago,

the Cleveland Browns played a football game and the broadcasters, everyone was talking about, yeah, we got grapple today. It's some type of like snow sleet hybrid, but it has its own word. It's like 60% snow versus like, you know, 20% snow like sleet is or whatever. Grapple snow.

Yeah, he said that in January, it's supposed to be colder for sure, but they can't predict at the end of the month very well if it's gonna have precipitation or not. So he's like, but there's definitely going to be precipitation or not. OK. So he's like, but there's definitely going to be chances of it. Grapple, also called soft hail or snow pellets. Oh, interesting.

So it's like, it's heavier. Yeah, not like just like light snow. Yeah. Interesting. It kind of looks like Dippin' Dots. Cool. Grapple's a good word. That's one thing that the kids love to do is snow ice cream.

Like Catherine has like this little recipe or whatever. Like they just get a big, huge bucket of snow and they bring it in and Catherine adds whatever, all the sugar and milk and yeah, all this stuff. It's funny to hear Rachel talk about like winters in Iowa growing up. She's like, oh, snow days were the best. Like I'd get together with cousin Lexi,

we'd find this big snow bank and we'd like make a new glue and our parents would just let us hang out there all day. We would just be outdoors laying in the igloo. She said, we got hungry. You just take a chop. And I was like, of the snow. She's like, yeah, that's what we do all day. Just sit in the igloo and eat it. That's amazing. An igloo. That is intense. Yeah. That's so cool. Hattie tried to make an igloo and didn't do great. I think she goes like kind of impatient. Like I just want to enjoy the igloo. I never quite got there. Um, and it feels like she always tried to do it like as it was getting dark

outside. Yeah. That's, that's not the best time, but anyway, they're fun kids, man. Oh man. That's about all we have written down this week. So see you guys. Rachel, we'll get into Shmores after this. Rachel finally taught me Mahjong. I finally took the, took the dive in. Do you really think it's pronounced Mahjong? Oh, yeah, I guess so.

Really? What do you think? I've never heard anybody else call it that night. But usually when you say it, you're like, Mahjong. And so I think like, oh, he's just saying it goofy. I think it's ma John. Oh, what am I saying compared to what you're saying? Cause I, you're saying it like, M U H ma ma ma. I've always heard people say ma John, but I haven't even really, I didn't know if it was like, yeah, I've watched a YouTube video and some guy was like, uh, actually it's pronounced

ma John. Oh no, I'm a hillbilly. And some guy was like, actually, it's pronounced Mahjong. Oh, no. I'm a hillbilly. I have no idea how to pronounce it. But you learned how to play. Yes, have you learned yet? No, I know the general idea is like, there's 100 different combinations of things you can go for with your tiles.

And whoever gets their first wins, right? Yeah, I'm shocked how much I'm into it. Because at first, I know you. It's like very strategic, right? it's very much like pattern recognition and Rachel's really hyping me up to all of our friends text your friends like Jake Mahjonged his first time no one's ever done this. He's learning this so quick She's hyped me up to my face like I think I don't know if you're telling the truth or not

But she claims I'm picking it up very quickly and that it further encourages me to like it even more. So she's smart. Yeah, she knows what she's doing. You're so good at this. No one's ever got it like this. It's a tough game. Any game, there's all these memes and videos about it, but when someone's explaining a board game to me

or how I feel when someone... There's a big element of that. I'm like, holy crap, this is so much. And you said your friends all understand this? You know, I'm kind of thinking that in my head. Even the dumb one. She gets it. It's pretty hard to understand.

It's overwhelming at the beginning. I'm just like, because we're so used to spades, clubs, hearts, this is boom, crack, dot. And instead of seeing, oh, a heart is distinct from a diamond, it's like this Chinese symbol, a little bit different than this Chinese symbol. And even as Rachel's explained to me, like, yeah, the flowers have numbers on them,

you don't need numbers though. I don't know why they put those on there. So there's certain things you're like having to forget that are on there. Yeah. Interesting. And so, yeah, it's a tough first 30 minutes. Okay.

But it seems to be like blowing up in like the Midwest from what I could tell. Yeah, Catherine's sister in Dallas, she's like, yeah, it's like a rich Dallas thing. It's big in Dallas. Yeah, I was proud of Rachel. She came to me with like all these ideas of like how to make a mahjong business. And so I was like, this is awesome.

So I looked into it for like 30 minutes one day. Like, this is cool. I'm just glad that you're fired off about it. So anyway, I'm a mahjong mama now. Okay. I have, we play it every night together. Rachel's going to town this weekend. And you're going to miss it.

I might. Really? I said, where's my text Catherine and Emily? And like, I'm trying to get my mage on. Catherine would love it, dude. You should, you should come on over and play some mage. So, yeah. I could see you liking it.

I could also see you being like, there's a little too much luck involved in this. Oh really? It's a little bit like settlers where I would say you can have a strategy, but if the dice don't roll your way, sucks. And I kind of like that. That doesn't make it a fun game because it's like there's parody. Yeah. It's like that.

I can't believe I lost to a guy that was on a 12 and a two in settlers, but like, I mean, yeah. Like sometimes that happens. Yeah. I understand that. I also, yeah, for whatever reason, like, is it, have you played Ticket to Ride? A couple of times, not super familiar with it though. I don't, like Ticket to Ride, one of the main things is like

you get a card at the beginning of the game. And this is kind of what seems like Mahjong is. It's like you get a card at the beginning of the game in And this is kind of what seems like Mahjong is. It's like, you get a car at the beginning of the game and take it to ride and it's like, okay, your objective is to go from Dublin to London, or I don't know what it's like. Or, you know, I don't know, I guess it's American, whatever. Seattle to New York, and that's your thing.

And so you're going for that, trying to figure that out the whole time how to do that. And it seems like that's kind of what Mahjong is. But you choose what your adventure is. Yes. It's like, there's elements of it that remind me of like a Rummy or phase 10. Those games are more like, all right, we're all going for three runs in a straight.

Yes. This is more of like, here's this whole pamphlet. Here's your word bank. Here's your options of what you could go for every single game. Here's 14 tiles. Figure it out. Is it a secret? Yes. No one else knows what you're go for every single game. Here's 14 tiles, figure it out. Is it a secret?

Yes, no one else knows what you're going for. And there's a little bit of defense. I think they're going for this. So I'm not gonna pass them this, if that makes sense. Okay. You know, if you could figure that out. But it's just overwhelming. But that's also the most fun part is like, you're given this, these like ingredients.

It looks like they're like, I've watched them play a few times. It looks like they're looking at this huge booklet of patterns. Native American code breaking like template. Trying to decipher like which one's the best based off what I have right now. Yeah, what do I have the highest probability of succeeding at?

And then what is kind of fun and what I would guess separates good from like really good players is like being able to adapt in the middle of the game. Like even though I was going for this, I just keep getting these cards. I gotta go for this all of a sudden. Okay, so you can change halfway. I thought it was like you able to adapt in the middle of the game. Like even though I was going for this, I just keep getting these cards. I got to go for this all of a sudden. Okay.

So I pull it off halfway. I thought no one knows you had to commit. I see. Yeah. It just, at the end you say, I, I'm a John and here it is. Here's the proof. Okay. So it's fun, but yeah, it is.

It's a lot. So yeah, I'm really into it though. Um, it's so funny. Cause like what I knew about that game five years ago was that old women played it. Yeah, you have to be Japanese, I think. And now, it's not. I think of like a retirement village of women playing it. And now it's like, everyone's into it.

Yeah, it's cool. So, yeah, I don't know. Rachel was like so excited. She's like, we could be the Friday Pickleball of Maj because like it's crazy expensive for these tiles. Crazy expensive. And they can't be that much to make. Maybe they are though.

So we were trying to look into it because it's like we get undercut that market. Well then change the material it's made out of. Like yeah, make it out of plastic. Are they plastic or they like those? I don't know. I don't even fully know. I didn't get that kind of domino. Yes, like dominoes.

I don't know why that's made out of probably Plastic plastic lacquer. Yeah Yeah, surely your things involved so Anyway, um, that's cool. Should we do our so you think that's boring schmores? Sure, man I don't know why this popped in my head, but it is the most riveting schmores yet. It is the schmores of Places you set things down on places you set items down on. No further explanation. There's no context to why you chose this. Like there wasn't like, yeah, I found out that Rachel does this weird thing. It's just a cool topic. That's true. We all thinking about it. Amazing. I thought there'd be for sure like, this is the backstory of where this came from.

No, doesn't need a deeper meaning. The title carries itself. Oh man. Places you set things down on. Yeah. Okay. I just assumed we all probably have a few favorites. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That you like. Okay. Let's talk about it. Okay. Yeah. We haven't had a choice in a while. Do you want to know who the previous winner was? I feel like it wasn't me. It was definitely probably Timon. Really? I have no idea. I bet it might've been the last one we did was Steve Koop farm Schmores. Who won that? Probably Steve or did we do reindeer since then? Ah,

I think I won reindeer. Good call, Ty. Good call, Ty. Go reindeer. All right, you choose the order. All right, I'll do, I don't care to go first. Jake, Brad, me. Thanks, man. I didn't want to go first either.

I wanted somebody else to kind of set the tone of what exactly we're doing here. All right. It's the first thing I see when I walk in the house when my hands are most likely to be full. I'm ready to set things down. I'm going kitchen counter. Love setting things down on the kitchen counter.

It's the first thing to get cluttered. And it's probably the best surface in the house. It's a nice high quality, you can do dips on it. Yeah, good dip encounter. Love setting things down on the kitchen counter. Kitchen counter's good. That's my first overall pick. Happy to have it too. Okay, so that's what we mean by setting things down. the kitchen counter. Kitchen counter's good. That's my first overall pick. Happy to have it too.

Okay, so that's what we mean by setting things down. What did you think? I don't know. Well, we can keep talking about it. Okay, my first pick is going to be the chair in your room. Okay, yeah. The chair in your room. I got one of those.

It's wonderful because it will form and it has flat surfaces on it, but it also has places where you can drape over clothes. And so I would say the chair in our room is sitable about 5% of the time. It means you're setting down on a lot. It means we're putting a lot of set stuff there. Setting down. Setting down. I mean, I'm talking, yeah, things, oh, we need to return those jeans, put it on the chair. Put it on the chair. Oh, We're putting a lot of sets up there setting down setting down. I mean, I'm talking yeah things Oh, we need to return those jeans put it on the chair on the chair Oh, I I wore that today, but I want to wear it again tomorrow cuz not that dirty. She's now put it on the chair

Yep, I need you remember to take this tomorrow throw it on the chair. Yes, dude. I'm gonna set my clothes I or tomorrow. Yeah, 100% on the chair sit on the chair. Good second pick a bedroom chair I don't think oh you got to get one just for the draping. Yeah, I'll get one Yeah, we didn't have one till recently and okay, it's it's a game changer. So, okay I'm gonna say my first pick desk I will desk in my room when I like I just come and put my computer on there put like like stuff in my backpack I think it's a good surface. Yeah, I'm also gonna say you don't have a desktop computer. That's already sitting there. No It's always my computer is going place to place all the time. So yeah, that desk is just asking

Yeah, I'm just junk on it. Yep. Yeah, but then I'm gonna say bed. I think this is maybe because I don't have a bedroom chair I think like I'll just, if I have some clothes, I might lay them on my bed, like various things. But also I think the bed is kind of helpful because I don't want to sleep in it until there's things off of it. So it kind of motivates me to like put something away.

All right. Whatever. So I think, yeah, desk followed by bed. Do you ever use a mouse, like a physical mouse or just track pad? I never use a mouse, no. You should try it. Go way faster. Yeah never use a mouse. No, you should try it Go way faster had yeah I don't how do you like even like zoom like zoom in on a timeline on a mouse?

You can't you left hands ready to go still. Oh, you can't command and scroll up. I Don't know it seems like something you could probably do dang I'm gonna get my hands in a mouse There's no way there's no way you should ever say you can't in computers It's a how this is your you're gonna be an adjunct professor. That sounds like that sounds like a TED talk There's no you can't there's just a how you do it. Oh, yeah. All right. Good answers time And my next one is going to be the ledge on the stairs. Oh Ledge on the stairs. Yeah, you I've seen a lot of stuff in your house there. Oh, big time, dude.

Big time ledge guy. I think I've sat stuff there. I will think, oh, that needs to go out to the shop. You know, the shop is by the back door. On my way out. Where the ledge of the stairs is. Oh, you know, let's say if I have a two story house, which I don't, the ledge of the stairs might be the thing

on the way up or on the way down, that I put it to where I know like, next time I'm going up, I'll take this. I'm not going to take it up right now. So ledge on the stairs is a big one for me. Um, do you have like led when you're saying, is it like railing or is there like a nice little flat surface you can put stuff on? Personally for me, it's a flat surface. Yeah. Uh, that's, that's great. It's great because yeah, it's almost like a, it's called a pony wall. I think is what they call it, like a half wall there. But there's so many things that have names like that. Yeah, pony wall.

Of course, yeah. Why, I bet there's a fun reason for the nickname too. But yeah, a little pony wall, I put things there a lot. So, big time, ledge on the stairs. That's great. All right, I've got two. This one is actually, I just get to say my items in order. This is my second most common, I think,

place to set things down on top of my car. I have that on my list. I feel like my hands are always full. I mean, just like pickleball shoot days, you got so much going on, you know, whatever. Just like I'm unloading my car. Well, okay, let's get the drink out, set on top of the car, and now I can grab the backpack, throw it around.

Top of the car is great. It's got like rings on it from how often I said drinks. When you have kids, yeah, you'll learn the top of the car and now I can grab the backpack, throw it around. Top of the car is great. It's got like rings on it. When you have kids, yeah, you'll learn the top of the car is basically a third seat. Yeah. I mean, I sometimes, sometimes I'll like, you know, hold them up there and grab something else down here. Whatever. So really like top of the car, pretty clutch, pretty convenient. And then third, I think just the proof is in the pudding. I'm gonna go podcast desk. Great place to set things down on. Let's see what we got so far. We got Healing Waters International hat.

We got some mainstream roasters cups here. We got some lozenges. We got a pretty important looking letter. Let's open that up right now. A mortgage letter. Yeah. Ornament, cough drops. Yeah, some work gloves.

Gloves. A loop pedal that is so necessary to be in the front and center of everything. Loop pedal. Calvin and Molly got Rachel a birthday candle. Shout out, continue good. Yep. I love these. It says Rachel on there.

That's cool. Yeah. They put candles with sprinkles on them. Check them out. Smells good. Continue good, baby. Okay. Good answer.

I keep smelling this. Podcast desk. Yeah, podcast desk. Back to you. My next one's going to be the dining table. Yeah, I had it on my list. Yeah, big dining table people. So often it's like, hey, can you set the table? And I say, yes, no problem.

Setting the table is easy. I kind of enjoy it for whatever reason. Let me get my hammer off of it. And then I look and there are 18 things on the dining table and then I do not enjoy it for whatever. Let me get my hammer off of it. And then I look and there are 18 things on the dining table and then I do not enjoy it anymore. Whether it's Play-Doh or clothes or you know, the Amazon package, the Amazon package box that we took the stuff out of, but the box is still there.

The table is a great spot for us. So, dining table. It was my 10.98 for my mortgage company. Okay. So, yes, important, but I bet there's a digital version as well somewhere out there Yeah, sure yeah, not bad. Hey, but just set the Envelope that it came in just right there. That's what I thought so I backward goes Okay, I'm gonna say

Car middle console That was actually on my list too. That's like my go-to. I just, yeah, if I don't know where to put something, I don't have, maybe it's even like momentarily I've got like trash or like an empty cup in my cup holder that I need for this thing. I was like quick, put the cup there, take it out. It's just a great like in-between spot. And sometimes for like sometimes more permanent. So something I like, I don't know what I'm I like keep my sunglasses on. Yeah. Just like something that's not gonna a cups a bad idea I don't do that but like other random less typical things I think it's good for

mm-hmm yeah um and then I'm gonna say dresser I think the surface of like a dresser it's in there you could put some clothes that you want to set out for the next morning or just any manner of random things you got tall dresser short dresser? Medium it seems taller than it is because like the way that my bedroom is there's like a slanted ceiling Coming up from like hey Kind of must be nice Kind of a like you got a roof with no leaks must be where it makes it feel taller like cuz it's almost touching the Ceiling that's like okay waist high I'm gonna go get you real quick

What's on top of my dresser right now for memory? I think there's some fun things on it. Okay Okay Is that too? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, you said carbonyl console and dresser great Hmm I should have been thinking about my last one here. Where do I set things? Where do I set things? I'm going to go last one. It's kind of random. I don't know why I'm going to say that. I mean, not why, but I don't know why I do this. But my bathroom vanity, my bathroom vanity gets a lot of random things that don't belong in the bathroom that I think maybe a lot of times it's like I'm walking inside to cause I need to go to the

bathroom. And so I put stuff down there. I hear the word vanity a lot. Explain what exactly is that? Is that just bathroom counter? Yeah. Yeah. I think the sink is like, yeah. Yeah. The thing underneath the sink really is probably what you call the vanity, but like the whole thing. Like our vanity in our bathroom, we have a tiny bathroom and it is probably, it's about as, you know, why does this computer and I mean, we try to figure out how to put so many things in there. You know, like it's just, it's just always got stuff. It doesn't matter if it's me or the kids or whatever, like there's so many random things on that vanity at all times. And there's also just a maybe little three inch strip from where the sink is, where the sink ends, the basin.

We even sometimes will balance things right there. And so, yeah, just a random, random spot that we set things down on a lot. If this was Rachel Schmorz, she would say her sink. Inside of it. Yeah, because her sink is just storage and then we both, she would say her sink. Inside of it. Yeah, cause like that, her sink is just storage. And then we both use like my side of the sink. She's not dripping out of her sink, I guess.

She's not. Yeah, that's her basin. All right, real quick, show and tell. Here's what I put on my dresser in my room. So we've got this Iowa volleyball hall of fame. Pretty sweet looking. Pretty looking thing. That's cool.

Yeah. I think it's awesome. That's awesome. I also am just very like, I just want to look at the wood. It's just a nice, some nice walnut right there. Next, we also have Iowa Hall of Fame. There she is. They sent this as well. Yeah.

And then third, we have Iowa Girls Hall of Fame. Oh. They just keep sending stuff. Interesting. I don't know what we're supposed to keep doing with all this. That's not walnut. So don't be as impressed by that.

Oh yeah, let's talk wood. First one is wall. Nice walnut. Yeah. That one, that one's stained. Smell this one and tell me what you think. That one looks like it's stained cherry. It's my guess on that one.

Oh, it's not even real. It's not even real wood. How do you know? Look at this hole right here. Sorry, look at where the holes are. Oh, it's not even real. It's not even real wood. How do you know? Look at this hole right here. Sorry, look at where the holes are. Looks like a cardboard in there. Yeah, it looks like. Oh, like the fake knot in it?

No, look at, you see. The hole? The thing's cut into it? Do you only, if you're looking at this right now, do you see holes? I mean, that's not really a hole. What do you call it? Whatever, an indent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay. Inside of there, look, it looks like, it's called MDF, that's what it is. It's like? Oh, whatever it in indent. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay inside of there. Look it looks like it's called MDF so it is it's like like plywood medium density fiberboard. Yep. That's like you get an Amazon basics desk Yeah, that's what it is made of that weighs nothing. So be more proud of that. No, that's all really cool How much wood is in this one? I? Can't see the back very little That's awesome dude, That is so cool.

I just now noticed this. I feel like if you order something super custom or I don't know, it's really took a lot of craftsmanship. Maybe they would say like, hey, this was built by, this was constructed by, this one has got that on the back. So this is a expertly crafted and inspected for quality worksmanship. Your framer, and then he signed his name, Finn.

Oh, Finn. Finn put this together. Thanks, Finn. It's the one thing not made of wood. That's funny. Just got anything? He just put a picture in a frame. Oh yeah, here we go.

Trophies Plus. Brita, Oake, Brita, Iowa. 115 Main Street. Oh, the La Brita, yeah. It's the girl in a different jersey. You just set that down, sorry. My last pick, can't believe it's still here. What it, it's whole purpose in life, the coaster.

I was on my list. We are both using them now. I love to set things down on the coaster. Yeah, that's good. I don't do it, I don't do a great job every time. I could do better. Yeah, all guilty. Sometimes I will set things down on the every time. I could do better. Yeah, guilty. Sometimes I will set things down on the coaster.

Sometimes I'm kind of obsessed with setting things down on the coaster. I mean, you got a nice, oddly satisfying thing right there. It's pretty much the circumference of the coaster. There's no reason that this Yeti bottle needs to be on a coaster. But it just, obviously it belongs there. It's like the same size.

Yeah, there's something, that's what I'm saying. I have glass tops on some of our tables. You don't need a coaster for that. You're not worried about condensate, but it's just like, it's just nice to put it on a coaster. Yeah, Chick-fil-A foam cup. That's not gonna, but I don't know. I like coasters, yeah.

When I originally like interpreted what you were saying, that was more of my thought was like coaster or like, my first thought was my lap. I put things on my lap all the time. Oh, that's good too. But I'm like, I don't really setting them down. Like I'm imagining, like once you said something. So yeah, coasters and cup holder.

Love me a cup holder. Cup holders are great. Side tables. That's about all I got. You got any more honorable Minch? Let's see. I had bed, I had dining room table, I had desk.

I use just the spare bedroom in general. I feel like just if you have extra space, I mean, that's just in just generically where things go. Right. And then, I guess all of them. I had chair, middle console. Here's a little random one, a little, you know, off the top deck, top rope, whatever they say. Top of the refrigerator?

Ever throw stuff up there? Not on a regular basis. It's like full-time storage, but not like, oh, I need to set this down real quick. That's where we always used to keep paper plates. Yeah, it's one of those like, it's like, for whatever reason, there's like a little bit of an honor

to the top of the fridge. That was always our paper plates and fly swatter spot. Okay Interested I need to find our fly swatter for that video. We're shooting later today I have seven at my house. Oh need one give binoculars as well I do might ransack your house here a little bit you be you be careful with them though cathed pretty particular about okay We've already watch dog.

Speaking of Catherine, last thing I have on my list to talk about, I had a fun conversation with Catherine the other day when she came over to go on a walk with Rachel, because I think it was, they were gonna go on a walk and it was like 30 degrees that day and they were like, talking about how it's like, I don't know, it doesn't feel that cold. And I was like, isn't it funny, like,

the difference in 30 degrees and zero is the same as like 100 degrees and 70. And so then we were all talking, we're like, what's the biggest in your mind? Obviously, scientifically, empirically, it's all the same, but in your mind, what feels like the biggest 30 degree gap? I have my answer, but I wanna know what you guys think. A couple of things to keep in mind, like 20 and 50, that's the difference in like a really, really cold day

and like a mild day. I can go outside today. Yeah. 90 and 60, also pretty vast. Oh, I can go outside today. Yeah. 90 and 60, also pretty vast. Yeah, I understand how it works, Jake. Well, I was met with a couple seconds of silence so I thought I would fill the silence. I'm teasing.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of like, my first reaction was 100 versus 70, but I wanna consider all my different options here. I think the main, the biggest difference would be 80 versus 50. I think that's my answer because 80 degrees is what Hawaii generally is. And 80 degrees is pretty hot. Like in my head, I think like, oh, 80 degrees is a little bit on the chillier hot side, but then you go to a degree place. And it's like, oh, I could like 80 degrees is what it was at the chillier hot side. But then you go to an 80 degree place and it's like,

oh, I could, like 80 degrees is what it was at the beach in Gulf Shores last year. We had, we were very comfortable on the beach. 50 degrees is like borderline, like too cold. Okay. If that makes sense. Like my first thought. 80 to 50 feels like one of the least to me for some reason.

Okay, tell me why. But it just feels like they're both doable to be outside and like fine like I would say 30 and 60 has got to be the one of the biggest like 30 is like it's cold out here 60 is like it's fine out here. I don't know like 80 and 50 are both But it's too warm pleasant dish. So my answer. Yeah, I think 50 is fine 70 and 40 I think those are so different. You go from like, we can do things outdoors to we can not do things outdoors, kind of.

And so I think that's like, yes, you can golf. No, you can't golf. Yes, you could pick a ball. No, you can't pick a ball. Big difference in how many. Oh, I'd pick one in 40. I wouldn't pick one in 30, I'd pick one in 40. A big difference in how many clothes you have to wear too.

70 and 40. Yeah, just because like, if you imagine like, okay, in the morning it's imagine like okay in the morning it's 40 degrees in the afternoon It's 70 degrees. It's tough to do all that think about that like that's a good way of thinking about it like we're like as if if it were in 70 degrees in the morning and then 100 degrees in the afternoon, it's like Okay, like I'm still worrying the same thing. I'm just not like as excited about it in the morning I think 70 and 40 you have to adjust your top and bottom layers like 40 you for sure Like, I'm still wearing the same thing. I'm just not, like, as excited about it in the morning. I think 70 and 40, you have to adjust your top and bottom

layers. Like, 40, you for sure have pants on. You for sure have multiple upper layers on. 70, you've got shorts and a t-shirt on. If it's like, if I'm doing outdoor activities all day, and it's going to be 70 and it's going to get down to 40, I'm in a hoodie and shorts. And I don't need to change, I don't think if I'm actively active

during the whole time, shorts are legs are so much easier than upper body. We're like horses. We shunted away. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Interesting. I don't, I'm trying to think, cause I think like all of these options, but besides maybe 170 would be like two different seasons. I would say 80 degrees is summer, 50 degrees is fall, 70 degrees is spring, spring, 40 degrees is winter. Like, so it's like just, I don't know. I don't know which one. Isn't it crazy though that 70 and 40 is the same as 30 and zero.

It's like, no, those are both just cold. Yeah. But when you get used to zero and then all of a sudden it's 32 degrees, it's like, oh, you guys, like Hattie and Bo the other day were playing outside without a coat on. And I was like, where's your coat? And then I was like outside, I was like, actually it feels pretty good out here.

Is that crazy? And it was 29 degrees. How quickly your perspective can change on that. Like today, warmest day we've had since Christmas, maybe, and it's 40 degrees and it's sunny. Like I'm like, I have to do something outside today. Yeah. We got to shovel the rest of the ice out of our stuff. Oh, before the grob.

For the grob. Wait, what did your meteorologist say? When is the polar V coming? I think it was like late January. Okay. I just texted a picture. Catherine's been trying to walk every day. I think she was inspired by the mile every day thing.

So she's like, yeah, minimum 15 minutes a day. Very realistic. And yesterday she put like one of those ergo, like baby carrier things where Henry's looking out and then just wore my coat and like, buckled them both up in the coat. And so it looks like she's a little kangaroo with her baby. Like Joey, Joey.

Yeah. Went on a walk with them. She's like, it was really hard. It was like a weighted vest, like 12, 30, 12, 3, 30. Yeah. Went on a walk with them. She's like, it was really hard. It was like a weighted vest, like 12 30, 12, 3 30. Yeah. She's like at the end I was tired. So anyways, so cute though. A little Henry just hanging out in there. That's great. I feel like, yeah, I don't think Catherine walks by our house, but lately I'll see people walking bundled up. Catherine, me? I don't think so. I think sometimes she will. Okay, keep looking. You're on our route for the kids.

If we go with the kids, they love to go past your house. That's fun. That's a great picture. Isn't that great? Hidry's just chilled with it. The smile is so cute. That is a great. You can see our cardboard.

You can see the pony wall. Pony wall, that's the ledge right there. My pony. The cardboard stuff down for the pony wall. Pony wall. That's the ledge right there. My pony. The cardboard stuff down for the old construction. Got the globe in the back. Love that globe. That's the homeschool area back. That's the homeschool like corner.

I think I want to teach geography someday. Maybe it's homeschool. Maybe it's to other kids' kids. I just like it. I took your globe the other day, and I just had a ball with myself for 10 minutes. It's kind of fascinating to see how big certain things are. Africa, huge.

Australia. The outback. I watched a video randomly the other day. I don't know. I don't know why people thought I wanted to see this, but I did. It was amazing. It just took Australia and it like,

drag and dropped it into like other areas of the world. It's like close to the same size as Russia. And it's like so like uninhabited for 90% of that land. Which is wild. Just the kangaroos just are the kings. Why is that? Is it in in habitable? Like not worthy? I don't know enough totally.

I mean, I think it's kind of deserty. It's the outback. I don't know if they just chose not to ever modernize it or if it's just, they have trouble getting water there. I don't know. Cause every major city in Australia is literally on the ocean. Yeah.

So interesting. I mean, it's huge. I don't know. They even compared to like China, not that much smaller than China. Maybe it was bigger than China. I can't remember now. Like Australia.

You kind of think of Australia as being like this little tiny little brother in the side over there. Big brother. South America, I always think of it being like right below us. It's so far east. So far east. So far east. Everyone go look at a globe right now. You'll be shocked at how east South America is. What? Yeah. Do you think if you live in Australia, is Australia on the bottom left of your map and United States on the bottom right? Great question. You know what I mean?

There's no way, right? They gotta be front and center. They're also like some of the only people that live in the Southern hemisphere. No, but I'm saying we're not front and center. If you like said like, here's the world, here's where it is. United States is always on the bottom left. Oh, I see what you're saying.

Like a flat, like... Like, does Africa always think they're in the middle? Or is it like... Yeah, see what you're saying. Yeah, United States is up here, South America, bottom left. And Australia is sometimes bottom right of that, I feel like. Yeah.

Yeah, where are they at on this? Yeah, Australia is always on like the bottom right and United States on the left. Yeah. But do you think it's like different like the bottom right and United States on the left. Yeah. But do you think it's like different for us? Like Australia is in the left, like left or most area and then United States next. Great question. You know?

Yeah. We got to get on the red note and talk to some Chinese people and see what how their maps look. I'm trying to I'm looking up Australian map of the world. Yeah. It's kind of a weird thing to try to, I'm looking up Australian map of the world. Yeah. How do we, it's kind of a weird thing to try to figure out a Google Australian. I'm going to try perspective of world map. I didn't ask. Okay. This is interesting. A map of the world from Australian perspective.

Whoa. Oh, oh, it's a joke. Everything's upside down. It looks like I've got a few of them, but it looks like Australia is kind of in the middle. Wait, no, it's not a joke. Everything. Why are all of my upside down? What kind of prank is this? Oh yeah, you're right.

I'm seeing multiple upside down ones as well. Like obviously Australia is written upright, but they are front and center at the top. Australia is up a high. It's really high in center. In top. Australia is up a high. It's high and center. And South America is in the upper left. Everything is flipped. The United States is, South is North and North is South. Antarctica's at the very top.

That's, that's psychotic. They think that North is down. Yeah, you can't put North down. No. It's a magnetic pole. That's the whole point of how it works. North just has to be at the top. I mean, I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be,

but it just seems like it should be. I don't know, man. Geography is fun though. Cat, or Hattie is like, it's amazing. I can't speak highly enough of my daughter. Like she's amazingly smart and like, it's so cool to, like it's almost like not even impressive to her, but I am so impressed by all these different things.

But she taught me something about geography, upper and lower Egypt. You know about this? Oh, it's because I used to do a project about Egypt back in the day. I can't remember it though, but it was a part of my project. So you would think obviously upper Egypt

would be north, lower is south, but it's flipped because the Nile flows from north to south. Oh. And so therefore they thought upper Egypt, they considered upper Egypt as the where the Nile flows towards. Oh, it flows south to north.

So it's flipped. So upper Egypt's at the bottom. Oh, maybe it does flow south to north. Yeah. Instead of our rivers normally flow north to south, right? Yeah. Yeah. So they get Mississippi dumps out into the Gulf.

Right. The old Delta. Anyway. Yeah. So upper Egypt is the bottom part of Egypt. At least back in the day. That's great guys. That is. It's crazy. All the things. Yeah. She can like point out all these different areas of the world. And I'm like, that's wild. Greenland also huge. All right. that's it. This upside down map is very fascinating.

I don't know why that's so interesting to look at. It looks like all the other countries are trying to get away from Australia. Because it is truly the right orientation. You could easily go up in space and look down at the world and that would be accurate. It would look like that. But it feels wrong to do it upside down. Yeah, cause the earth, yeah. Space is crazy.

Tim, put up a little graphic of this if you don't mind in post. Cool. So people can understand what we're talking about. I'll send this link to you. Oh yeah. Oh, oh, oh yeah. Dang it, dang it.

Did I win? Dang it What I said it to you first? Yeah, my took forever Rad got it All right, well that's been geography that's been schmores and geography and everything else Anyway, I That schmores was more fun than I was expecting. I think the more boring, it's also the funnier.

It's so relatable. Yeah. If you guys have any more ideas for schmores from us, let us know. For lame schmores. Lame schmores. All right, we're gonna do comments of the week. I do, I do.

Pigeon butts, that's a fun name for a podcast episode. Cassandra said, Brad is either sweating bullets in his hoodie and vest or Jake is freezing in his t-shirt or their body temp regulation systems are vastly different. Great so guys, congrats on 400. I do, like, yeah, I think I adapt decently well. Like earlier today I was in my, I came here in my coat. I was chilling in the coat.

Yeah. But I will say, sorry, I remember that episode and I took off my hoodie afterwards and I had like sweat right here under the, under the chesticles. So, um, yeah, I was a little warm. Yeah. But I like being bundled. Um, let's see. I'll just say, uh, I'll say this. We love, we love our girl, Caitlin Ramirez. Shout out. Uh, she gave me the golf shorts trip. Yeah. Uh, comment of the week says Jake, maybe the clean eating will heal some things

"'and let you eat beef again. "'It's amazing how food can be healing in so many ways.'" It is cool, I'm excited to see that for you. It will be cool. Just in general, how you'll feel different not eating canes as often. Yeah. No more fried stuff, no more.

I mean, my life is about to change. Yeah. No more, very little sugar probably. Yeah, no more fried stuff. No more fast food really for the most part. So it'd be crazy. I think Chipotle is pretty safe depending on. I should probably get a bowl though.

Your version of Chipotle might not be the best, but. Yeah. Chipotle is pretty clean. Chick-fil-A, if you get grilled stuff is all right. I should look into Hawaiian Bros. I wonder how good that is for you. Cause I don't put cheese on that. I mean, that's just chicken with some soy. Yeah.

And so a lot of protein. If you get the large, a lot of protein in there. You can get the veggie option. I probably will. I doubt it. Okay, okay. Your comment reminds me of my win of the week though. It just in general, it's like ghosties looking out for us.

I feel like every week without fail, I can count on ghosties reaching out about something, looking out for me, looking out for Rachel's gut, and looking out for our sleep, looking out for our diet, like what Caitlin's saying. So it's just fun. I feel like as much as, by definition, Brad and I would be looked at as more of the influencers,

but it's like more than ever, I feel like I am influenced by you guys. I mean, I'm going to get a RAV4 because of the ghosties. I am like taking your suggestions for food, for diet, for workout plans. Like you guys are influencing me just as much. So it's cool. Symbiotic relationship. Symbiotic. That's nice. I don't have anything that nice to say about the ghosties. My one of the week is just the ghosties. Probably I'm just influenced by them more than they are me. Um, uh, one of the week for me is I had a really good, just my friends, just in general, friends, time with friends has been really good. Um, which one was the worst hangout? Honestly, my dad. I mean, no, my way is always my dad. My dad is the best and he's whatever.

I could say a lot of things about all my friends. Yeah, but truly, yeah, my dad's awesome. And he's like so good. One of the things I love most about my dad is that he like, he says, I'm going to pray for you. And then he prays for you. That's good. That's so simple. But like, and he like, he will text you'm going to pray for you. And then he prays for you. That's good. That's so simple.

And he will text you and be like, hey, I prayed for you this morning. Hey, how's this going? Not just like, hey guys, I would love a prayer for this. It's like, oh yeah, sure, man, for sure. Not saying that people never pray for you when they say that. But he is a true consistent prayer and interceder for you. So shout out to my dad.

He's the best. Win of the week is just, yeah, just trying to continue to surround myself with good people and I have good people in my life. So, win of the week. That's good. Tommy, you have a win? Yeah, audition for Sound of Music.

Oh! Which is kind of fun. Leesl? I wish, no, I'm just kidding. Lady videos. But actually, there's not like the official cast list out yet, but I got like doing a weird thing where they like reach out to individuals like, will you accept this role or whatever? A little like surprise that at first I was like, I don't know how I feel about this,

but I'm actually excited now. I'm going to play Friedrich like the 14 year old kid. OK, he's like the old man. Yeah. Von Trapp like boys like the second oldest in the family or whatever. Better not work out too much before the play. Yeah, I was thinking like that's going to be a problem. Oh, Friedrich, you hit puberty a little early, bud. Yeah.

Friedrich's on the creative team. I'm excited. I think he might have like a bigger role in the show than in the like movie as well. I don't know. But yeah, that's going to be fun. It's through Greenleaf. Yes. You got...

It's like one of Greenleaf's first like legit shows that like people... Like not that the other ones aren't legit, but they're just like... But they're not writing it themselves or... Yeah, those other ones are like original or like no one's really heard of them. So this will be fun. Way more people audition because of that. Like... Sweet.

And it wasn't like a guaranteed casting, which is kind of fun. Because like a lot of times Greenleaf is like you pay beforehand, you're going to be in the show in some way, shape or form, but this one you weren't like guaranteed. You were headhunted and you're locked in. You are Friedrich. Yes, I think so. When does it come out?

The June 6th and 7th weekend, I think. Yeah, I knew that wasn't right. When's it going to VHS? When does it drop? Yeah. June, okay, we got a while. First weekend in June, probably. Yeah, something like that.

Hattie's favorite movie, Sound of Music. Really? We watched, rewatched it before auditions and like, it's better than I remembered. It's so good. Shot really well too. If we are available, I guarantee you at least five of the Ellis family are coming. Amazing. Yeah. Bo will be into it. Hattie will sing along, you know. Fun.

Hattie might be in it. Who knows? I was kidding. What if we just shoe Horner in end like, yeah, come on. You need one more. That's awesome time. That'll be fun. Yeah. It's fun. You can do it all. Friedrich, lady videos. Recent radio time and edit for us to catch a predator. I don't know if you saw it one million views on Instagram. I did see it.

Pretty sweet. Pretty impressive. For a video that's not relatable, it's just like purely just weird. Yeah, yeah, so I was excited about that. I was curious, the background on the suit, there's gotta be a story with that suit. Yeah, there is, so I bought that on the limo trip. We had only worn t-shirt and shorts the whole trip.

It was the middle of summer, we did have air conditioning and then we went out to, what's the city right outside of Yellowstone? Cool city, Jackson Hole. Stayed the night in the limo, didn't check the weather. And I mean, it got down to like 48 degrees one night. I was just trying to fall asleep. You're awake because of how cold you are.

And all of us were doing kind of the same technique where it's like you fall asleep in your shirt and you use your own breath to warm you up. I mean, it was a miserable night of sleep. Yeah, you're like tucking your sleeves in your. Everything's in, yeah, you're looking around like, what other clothes do I have as blankets? Miserable.

I mean, we couldn't sleep any longer. At the first daylight, I mean, 6 a.m., we were all up, ready to go, trying to buy clothes as soon as possible because it's freezing. So we went to a Jackson Hole thrift store and all just decked ourselves out in the most ridiculous stuff. It'd be like if you gave a seven-year-old $100. Go get whatever you want.

So Kyle got Ed Hardy jeans. Oh, that's why he was wearing those. ourselves out and the most ridiculous stuff. It'd be like if you gave a seven year old $100, go get whatever you want. So Kyle got Ed Hardy jeans. Oh, that's why he was wearing those. They have like gold on them or not real gold, but just like a gold dragon on it. Ty, if anyone was at my wedding, do you remember the outfit he showed up in just for the last like 30 minutes?

Of course. That is what he also got from the Jackson Hole thrift store. I knew it was from the limo trip that, okay. I didn't know that was the story. It's like a Civil War trench coat on top. And then like, I don't know, gross puke green capris. It's quite the outfit anyway. And I bought like an oversized striped,

pinstriped suit that I still have. So good. So I just wore that. I was like, I don't know, it's kind of goofy. I love how that's made, that's made the moves from you. Yeah. To be organized is like, do you want this suit? Keep the suit.

Yeah. Yeah, you just like stare at them like, don't ask questions, just keep the suit. It was funny, I forget, it was a ghostie because I recognize the name, but you post the video, you feel the dopamine rush, you're like, I can't wait for those early comments. I think we just created a masterpiece, I don't know.

One of the first comments is like, what's with the suit? Jake, why you not have shoes on? Out of everything in here, that's what we're focusing on? It was one of the first things I noticed, I'll say that. Because it was like, that's funny. I mean, in one level, it's like, they're not trying too hard with that aspect of it. aspect of it. Yeah. So funny. Well, thanks. Yeah. Shout out to Timon. Great edit.
