All right. We are here episode 408. Good morning. Happy 408. Yeah, dude. 408. 408 somewhere boys. Wasn't there a cleaning product called 409? Yes, there was. We'll talk about it on Wednesday. That's right. 409. Beach Boys song. Yeah, just nice harmonies with anything. Oh, it was in that yin-yang twin song. 409! That's a little John song to me. I'm a little John. Who sings it first? Eastside Boys. Chicken or the Egg. Yeah, right.

Area code 409. Or wait, this isn't... This is 408, dude. 408, two numbers that are divisible by four with the zero in between 408 also divisible by four surely Yeah, there's a little trick to that tell me I don't remember okay I know there's a trick with is it divisible by three you take just the last two digits like 9027 is divisible by three okay always yeah, even if it's Divisible by three. Okay, always. Yeah, even if it's thirteen thousand and twenty seven bingo Divided by three not divisible and there's some trick like that with either fours or eights or some other number could be sixes I don't know. I love those kind of things. I think it's the last three digits in fun opening anytime You remember any of those things will you please say I'm on the pod?

Yeah, or just in person because I I never learned those and I it's so fun. Like what's the nine one that you know? Well a couple different schools of thought and a couple different tricks here. One is for your times tables. They'll take your fingies out. Yeah. It's why we hired Timon for his fingers but I'll do the demonstration I guess. Yeah. All right. We want to do how's this go three times. Oh, nine. Everything's nine. Yeah, so what? Man, I can't move that finger without the other one the mallet. No, just just my pinky just a struggle Okay, pretend. I'm only moving my pinky. Okay, one two three. So you put this one down Man, I have bad finger flexibility. Holy cow. But what are you left with? Wait that works

27 always yeah Nine times nine. So then you put your right pinky down. What do you have left? Or wait, no, you would put your ring finger down. Sorry. Wow. 81. Okay. Okay. Nine times two. Put this one down. One over there, eight over there. I'm flabbergasted, Timon. That's that one. So if you ever see somebody in a college class, just be like. I learned that these fingers are basically the same. I can't move one without the other.

Well, it's a ring finger. That's the whole idea of a ring finger. Oh yeah, it's a circle. There's no points. Well, Timon, you do it. Timing doesn't have a ring on it. So he can do it individually. Wow. You can. Once you're married, once you're married, you can't do that anymore. That's kind of like one of those like legal things like, yeah, to become one kind of thing. Yeah. Like what? I can't do it. So that's what we were planning on starting with. So let's go ahead and roll it from there. Oh my, that's not what I was going to start with.

I was going to start with this area code for the Santa Clara County. Oh, and parts of other counties. Super Bowl is that Santa Clara, San Francisco, New Orleans. No next year. Sorry. They're cut. No, obviously 2027. We're going to Detroit 2027. I'm not talking about the Super Bowl right now. Hey, that Super Bowl already happened, Jake. We're, we're not worried about that one anymore. We're onto the next one. Um, they're, they're in San Francisco next year. I'm struggling through my words here. What do you think the highest point in New Orleans is? I learned this this morning,

listening to a sports podcast. Oh, highest point. And I don't even know. They're like, how high up is the point? Oh, I know it's got to be low. I don't even know how to guess that. Feet. Zero. Okay. 27, 27 feet. Oh, really? Yeah. Something crazy like that. Highest point. I don't really even understand. What does that mean though? Because like if you're below sea level, then you'd be in the sea. I point. I don't really even understand. What does that mean though? Cause like, if you're below sea level, then you'd be in the sea, I thought. I don't understand what that means, right? Cause it's 27 above sea level.

Yeah, it's above sea level. Yeah, but so then like, but surely there's things below sea level that are not the sea. If there is land below the sea, then how's that work? Yeah, what are we doing up here? You build a little berm. Dude, speaking of that, you're never gonna get

to say what you're planning to say. It's not important. It's borderline embarrassing, so it's fine. Rachel and I are very happy where we're at. We have a small home, we don't have kids, whatever, but we like to, we call it Zill. We like to Zill every now and then. You know, we're scrolling Zill.

It's so fun. Really, the thing that I look for these days Is is land just like some day down the road Rachel and I would like to have land this little plot It's only gonna be cheap or it's only gonna What's the phrase? It's only gonna go up. It's only gonna go up. Yeah. Yeah, so, you know, there's a good plot of land buy it now So we're always looking I find this one plot of land, buy it now. So we're always looking, I find this one plot of land, I'm talking to Peter about it, Realtor, and I started doing my own research, I'm like, this is like really cheap,

something's not adding up, and so I start looking into like floodplain results, this is coming back to sea level, this is how we tie it together, and I see this like data that says, yeah, oh, it's in the blue, like, what does blue mean? I go to the legend and it says 1% chance of flooding. So I go to Rachel and I'm like, oh my gosh,

not a floodplain at all, 1% chance of flooding. That's like nothing. Get a call from Peter the next day, hey man. So I looked into the flood thing and yes, you're in a pretty bad area. They call it once in a hundred year flood. And I was like, well, two very different ways of looking at it. Rachel and I took the 1% and was like, well, two different, very different ways of looking at it.

Rachel and I took the one percent. I was like, oh, that's like never. Right. When you think about one in every hundred years. Yeah, I'm getting I'm getting healthier, but I'm not trying to live forever. You know, like, well, yeah. So I was like, did it flood recently? Are we good for like 95 years?

Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was so funny. I'd like because you see one percent like, oh, that's nothing. But then you hear once every a hundred years, it's like a catastrophic flood. You're like, oh, that's not worth it. It's all perspective. It's like, is it 1%?

Yeah, whatever, I don't know. You have 1% of your body that has, I don't know, whatever in there. It's like, well, that's a lot. I don't want- Creatine monohydrate. Your body is made up of 1% poisonous acid. It's like, I gotta that's a lot. I don't want. Creatine monohydrate. Your body is made up of 1% poisonous acid. It's like, I gotta get that out of there.

You're like, well, we didn't tell you it fights off. It fights off the ketoalanine. No idea what that word means. If that's even a word. It sounded really good. It sounds good though. Ketoalanine. I love it breaking bad

when they were trying to get the methylalamine. Methylalamine. It's time. They were obsessed over it. I need the methylalamine. Stop the train. Tight, tight. Yeah. Anyway, I don't think we're going to get it.

Okay. Not that one. Yeah. You don't want to have some flood looming over you. Every time it rains, you just- Exactly. I would be stressed every time it rains for the next 50 years. How fun would it be to be in the country and it pours down rain and you can just enjoy it rather than every time? It's like this might be it Rachel. This might be it. Yeah here Yeah, 100% cuz my house growing up was kind of up on a hill sure tornado coming were a prime Target get in the basement, but rain was fun

We've got on the front porch and watch the storm come in and just laugh at those people down at the bottom. Look at those guys. This is it. Yeah, you buy that and then yeah, you don't watch the storm come in. You start getting sandbags ready. No fun.

Yeah, you're not stopping anything. Anyway, what were you gonna say, Brad? Do you ever put on your shirt before anything else? Oh, that's interesting. I've accidentally recently had that happen to me a few times, and you just feel like the least masculine person in the world. I feel like Winnie the Pooh. When you have a shirt on and nothing else.

Yeah. Yeah, that's how he lives. Rosie's been reading a lot of Frog and Toad lately, and I put on this shirt, and I was like, I feel like I'm frog right now. Like that's Frog and Toad. Frog and toad lately. And I put on this shirt and I was like, I feel like I'm frog right now. Like that's frog and toad. It's just this book. Do you ever read frog and toad?

Yeah, it's just like this very like first reader kind of book. Like, hello toad, hello frog. What are you doing today? You know, stuff like that. Waza. Waza. But wiser. No, and that's, I was like, I don't know every once in a while

I don't know why it happened or how it happened or whatever But I'm like I only have a shirt on and you just feel you need to get those bottoms on as fast as possible There's just something about just like I just feel so amass like I don't want anybody to see me right now Yeah, what is it about that? It's just not yeah, I'd rather be fully like if you dropped me off in time square, I'd rather be completely naked than only have a shirt. A hundred percent. That is the weirdest thing. And it is, it's almost worse if the shirt's a little too long. Yeah. What are you doing in an ID dude? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's like bottoms are the first one on the last one or first one off, right? Fo, Folo first on last off last off. Yeah. Yeah. Folo. Folo. So classic supply chain. I don't know. Yeah. There's a few times I was like, gosh, I hope Catherine doesn't walk, walk in the room right now

and see me like this. How'd you find yourself in that scenario? I don't remember. I think maybe it was like, oh, I think I would put on this shirt and this remember. I think maybe it was like, Oh, I think I would put on this shirt and this side of the room and then be like, Oh, I'll just put it on real quick and then go over here. Then I was like, God dang it. What am I doing here? I'm toting over here. Get this over with anyway. Frogging time. That's fun. Time and you've been working out. Yes. She's missed any day that like I, I weekends are my like break. Same. But I haven't missed any day that I've like wanted to go. It's one day of Sabbath time and not two. All right.

Well, time and I respect the Christian and the Jewish. Actually, I think I'm going to start a new plan where Thursday is my rest day. And then I do Saturday. I think that's my thing a new plan where Thursday is my rest day and then I do Saturday. I think that's my thing. I've been thinking about this too. Talk to us. I don't want to work out on Saturday.

Well, because it seems like trying to what's a succinct way to word this. Basically, most plans. Yeah, we got to do podcasts. Almost every workout plan will follow kind of a similar schedule where it's like, Monday and Thursday is chest and tricep. Tuesday and Friday is back and bicep. Wednesday's legs.

And I'm like, well, if we're doing upper body twice a week, why would I only do legs once a week? Why wouldn't they be worked out twice a week? And it's tough trying to figure out the formula and the solution is either only do all of them or do chest tricep and quads on Monday and then back bicep hamstring, glute, Tuesday and only work out four days a week

or switch it to six days a week. Five is kind of wonky. Okay. A bit wonky. Yeah, I don't know. What do you think? You see what I'm saying? Like, I guess I don't need to work out my legs twice a week, but I feel bad for them. I don't want to work out my legs twice a week. I get done with one and I'm like, that's enough. You're tired of it. Yeah. That's probably part of it is I think people don't like legs as much. Yeah. Also, your legs are probably just naturally pain. Yep. Well, do you think your legs are naturally

stronger because you use them more than your had that thought I was like they're being worked out more or less every time I walk More so than like my arm more than your arms. Yeah. Yeah, maybe I don't need my legs I don't know your legs are just naturally stronger than your arm or they are stronger in your arms in general You can push more with your legs. I think that's why I like working them out cuz I feel strong you feel huge like press Yeah, I love oh like press is awesome. I'm like, why do people not like leg? They're like a million bucks.

It's easy. I'm so strong doing legs and then anything with your arms like lifting over your shoulder. I got a 12 and a half pound weight. It gets heavy eventually. Yeah. Okay. So you work out like specific parts every day. Not because I've heard of like push pull.

You know that? I think that's what I'm doing. Okay. Maybe that's the same idea Yeah, okay. Okay. I've always heard it called that not as much like today's tricep day or whatever. Yeah, I don't yeah I think it's either way so time is getting big. Yeah I still feel so dumb just like in that realm of like I just do my best I use chai GPT and I just be a lot. So, and there, yeah, you shouldn't feel dumb. You should, you should see results right away.

So that's why I'm worried. Yeah. Maybe you're, maybe you should do something. I still fit in all my clothes. I was hoping that was, yeah. Dang it. You put it on, you're like, dang it. You put on only your shirt and you're like, ah, yeah same boxers as yes Man that's great. You eat in a bunch. Yeah I've to us what I have not missed a morning of that same breakfast that I told you guys about really I still don't hate it. I'm like remind us what it is Three fried eggs. Okay, right two pieces of buttered toast Okay, like and like the two two of the eggs go on the toasts

That's solid and then the one egg is on the side and then like three not cups of milk But like measuring cups of milk just like I'm measuring you have a measuring cup. I love it I love no, I have a measuring cup, but you don't use like the built-in like data in there Just like it's just like a measuring cup. No, no, this is I'm saying I told someone one time one time that I have three cups of milk and you're like, whoa, like data in there. It's just like, it's just like a measuring cup. No, no, no. This is, I'm saying I told someone one time, one time that I have three cups of milk and they're like, whoa, like three glasses of milk. I'm like, well, no, I measure out the cups. That's why I was clarifying. How, how big of a, it's a full cup. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I use, we have like a Mason jar sometimes that I will like, then it's easy because I just see it in the cup. Otherwise I like to be able to track how much I'm drinking. There you go. You're thinking, I like it. I was was going to say just use the same cup every day and then you'll know how much to fill it up. It's true. Rather than taking, okay, three, three cups. I need, I need six tablespoons to a cup. No, I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, same breakfast. I need to find something that I will start to eat once I hate this breakfast, but so far tastes good every day good so that's great people people like

Are always I don't know like I find things I'm like I could eat this every day and I do and people are like you're gonna get I saw somebody comment like Jake Two double protein shakes a day. You're gonna get tired of that. Oh Protein shake is my sweet relief exactly sugar. I eat I'm like we're we're, I don't protein shake is my sweet relief. Exactly. I'm like sugar. I eat. I'm like, we're, we're having fun with the protein shake. That's great. That's the easiest thing to consume. Like, I don't understand. Catherine gets stressed. This is a little bit of a tangent, I guess, but she gets stressed. Sometimes like she likes to meal plan for the week. And sometimes I don't know if she really, she, she probably would disagree with this. She'd be like, I like meal planning, but sometimes it's like, she's like, I don't know what we're

going to eat this week. And I'm like, what if you just picked out seven things and we just ate those seven things in a rotation every single week? I guarantee you our whole family will be totally fine with that. Monday is chest tricep and spaghetti. Yes. I'm okay living my life. Getting shreddy with spaghetti on Mondays.

Yeah. It's like, why not? Like seven days is enough towards like, Oh, we just had pizza. It's like, no, we didn't. We had it six days ago or whatever. We just had cowboy casserole. Cowboy casserole is what we have on Wednesdays because we go to church after what we do. So anyway, I, I don't understand. Like I could eat pizza five days in a week or five days in a row. Sometimes people I just had pizza yesterday. It's like so yeah I'll go back to back chipotle if I'm in a jam if it's like hey you guys want to go to this broccoli restaurant It's like I just had broccoli for lunch fair fair. That's fair. You don't want too much broccoli in your life Also, I don't know if we should even go to a broccoli restaurant. Also. I don't think they make those Yeah, Chipotle. I need Chipotle twice a day. Yeah easy in there chick-fil-a twice a day. Maybe not even mix up the meal chicken strips chicken strips

Double double. Yeah, so timing you like sausage sausage. Yeah Trying to remember I've heard of it. Can you oh gosh? Yeah, if it's not a Friday heard that word in how long Why you ask about sauce? I eat that most mornings and it's super easy. Okay microwave Hot yeah, that should be my meat. I should get more like morning meat or just to mix it up Just mix it up Haven't just looked at me. He's like, dang it. Brad's gonna make fun of me. I wasn't gonna say. Oh man. I hope that camera was on you right as you'd glance over to me. Oh man. Yeah.

Morning meat. I don't know. That's good. Have you ever heard of egg in a hole? No. Morning meat, egg in a hole. Bagel related, maybe? I don't think it's like fried egg, but you put like, I think you like, I've only seen it happen a few times for the record. I didn't do it growing up. Okay. But growing up, I think it was fourth grade. My friend, Rachel Mustang, shout out Jess Eggleston, your younger sister. Everybody had to do like three different speeches for a class and one of them was a technical speech, AKA you had to show how to do something.

Most people showed how to make food. You know, sometimes it was peanut butter and jelly. I did how to develop a picture, a photograph, light room kind of thing. Anyway. I did how to choke out a teacher. Yeah, I did how to get shreddy at 10 years old. She did how to make an egg in a hole.

And I think you put like, you have like your buttered toast in the pan and then you take a cup or something and like, this is how I've seen carve out this hole with it. And then you dip the egg in there. This sounds like a drug dealer telling you how you can make heroin out of a light bulb. Yeah, it's easy, dude.

All right, everyone's got light bulbs, right? It has to be halogen. You can't do LED. You can't do LED, it's not the same. Put it over a candle, doesn't even need to be that hot. Wait for a little film to develop, that white stuff, and then you dump that out. Now you got a clean bulb.

That's the good stuff. All right, now you can cook in there. Egg in a bulb. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Home Depot has the best ones, but Lowe's will do. Lowe's will work as well. You can fit it in your pocket if you're a little strapped for cash. Don't do dollar general. You can tell when it's dollar general. Yeah. You can tell it's like off-brand Oreos. Yeah. Hydrox. So what were we talking? Egg in a hole. Yeah. Check it out. I don't know. I'll try it. If you ever get tired of one thing just want to combine them together I think it's literally just

yeah it's a fried egg inside of the toast that's fun what do you do with the little toast circle whatever you want brother get creative with it yeah make a little face I don't know do whatever you want but I remember trying it and being like this is delicious so shout out Oh yeah, flavors just like of the egg and toast are so good. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, eggs are expensive right now. Do you know this? Yeah.

So say thanks to Marie and Brandon. Yeah, it's like, I don't feel it as much as I should with how much I'm using, but yeah. It's still, eating at home is always cheaper, but man, the eggs are nuts right now. Tariffs? Tariffs and embargoes. And you know, just the shortage.

Good buzzwords from like ninth grade social studies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Words. Yeah, all those things went right over my head. Those were the things I was like, I'll memorize it for the test and then see ya. Embargos, tariffs, nomads, isthmus. Nomads? Nomads.

I remember nomad was a vocab word. No, not for you guys? No, it wasn't, just kinda switching gears a little bit. There's all the things that I know the words of. Egyptian history. Yeah, hieroglyphics, manifest destiny, Louisiana purchase. Well, it's just amazing. Like, Catherine was talking about Amerigo Vespucci today. You heard of him? No, he wanted to get a purchase. Well, it's just amazing. Catherine was talking about Amerigo Vespucci today.

You heard of him? No, he wanted to invent a spaghetti. I think he like founded America maybe or something. Oh yeah, that's why we always have Columbus Day. Yeah, exactly. Well, Columbus died I think thinking he was in India. In the Indies. What an idiot.

West Indies or whatever. And then Amerigo Vespucci was like, no, I don't think that's it. You need to make a new map. Amerigo, that makes sense. And I think that's his name. And Catherine, I was like, oh yeah, I've heard of Vespucci. She's like, no, you haven't. Yes, I have. I wouldn't have told you anything about him, but I've heard the name Vespucci. Yeah. There's a couple of names like that. Rasputin. Rasputin is another guy that discovered things. Even that I couldn't even

confirm that he discovered anything. Was the guy was the guy in World War I maybe. Maybe Russian World War I, a czar perhaps. Maybe he was the one that, does he kill Franz Ferdinand? You heard of Franz Ferdinand? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take me out? Yep, exactly. And he was- He got taken out.

He was, that was the name of a bull in a book I read. Yes, Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand the Bull. What was I gonna say? There was that movie, that animated movie where Rasputin's in it. Oh help me out. You guys have kids you guys have Google No, it's uh, yeah, it's one of them. It's is it Hercules. It's Hercules. No, it's definitely Hercules It's either her cute or Lion King. I'm thinking I'm thinking What are other just random things from from middle school or high school? Just words you remember with no other knowledge around. These types of conversations make

me nervous because they expose the gaps in my homeschooling. You're not familiar with some of these words. But that's the whole point is like you don't need to know. It's true. Yeah. Yeah. It's true. Like if anything, it's like I'm proud. I think that is the name Rasputin. I don't think. Rasputin also I, was famous for another reason. Safe Sir John. But anyway, he was he was scary. He did some he was like a killer or something, right? Or like a sorcerer of anyone famous from Russia. It's not for like a good thing.

You know, I could think of the name name famous Russians. I don't OK. I can name for the one we traded Brittany Greiner for the merchant of death. There's one You don't think that guy's doing good things my family. We raised a little different. So we didn't like it. Okay Vladimir Putin bad guy Putin's the only guy I could think of from Russia is A there and there's no athletes. Therefore. I don't know any Russians. Oh I bet there's a bad one. So there's probably some Russian hockey players out there. Who's the one the the Igor Igor? Shufovsky yeah, yeah, but I work ito Alanine

Yeah, the guy from Rocky for yeah, yeah, he looks Russian. I think he is great. Yeah, you go more embassy Mmm ego no Yeah. Ego. Ego or embassy. Ego. No embassy. Yeah. You know that word like the, the U S embassy. Oh, I thought you were talking about famous Russian people. Yeah. I don't know that back to vocab words. Yeah. Yeah. United nations. Honestly. What's that? Honestly. Honestly. Yeah. How often do they meet? I don't know. How many do we send? Do we have one? How does it work? Like if they're like, well, well, well, I don't know.

Wait, I just remembered something. I said flashback me and Casey Cornelius used to do model you in. Yes, I've heard of it. Did you do model? No, no, I never even I don't even remember if it was like an option. I think we were just the smart kids. So they like sent us to go do it. But we're also the class clowns. I specifically remember borrowing my sister's Barbie laptop like that she had when she was a little girl. And I took that

to model you in. Well, we were, I think we were like China or something. We're like a really like important country. And we're just goofing off a little type. People hated us. They had a whole year getting ready for model UN. And we were like, we want the goats to be in charge. And I'm like, stop. We got, don't let Straffer do this again. Have you seen the parks and rec episode where Leslie does model you in something with lions? Yeah. Like is one of the countries is like, we'll trade you all our army for all your lions. Yeah. Pretty fun. Yeah. I don't know anything. I don't know anything. Period. Probably sust anything, period, probably. Sustenance farming. Sustenance farming. Is that what it's called?

I don't know, we didn't do. It's the type of farming where you only grow enough to feed your family. What's that called? Substitute, it's, I'm right there. I'm knocking at the door. I got us to the one yard line, Brad, pick us up. Tush push us in, let's go.

Time is not gonna do it. Yeah. Micro farming, not that.. Time is not gonna do it. Yeah. Micro farming, not that. No, it starts with a net. I'm right there. I didn't like when immigration started with an E all of a sudden. Yeah, sure.

Also, suffrage is the worst word. I don't like that word. Suffrage is a great thing. And it sounds awful. Yeah, it does. What was that about? Women's suffrage, I was like, let's skip this. I don't wanna hear about this.

No, it's their right to vote. I don't think so. Look it up again. Suffrage. Suffrage? Why? Yeah. Yeah, not a good idea.

Whoever made up words, think again about that one. Oligarchy, one I'm not still super familiar with. Oligarchy, just government in general stuff. Honestly, oligarchy I know is like multiple. Right. Is it? I know like. Dictatorship, democracy, monopoly. I was going to think. Yasi is it oligopoly?

Is that the word that is like connect for oligopoly is like when there's like a few, a few country or a few companies that have all the monopoly basically oligopoly. So oligarchy must mean a few families that control. Is of a country organization or institution. Okay. Okay. Okay. Nice Good job. Look up the other one oligopoly though I remember it was like phone companies like there's only four phone companies out there or whatever like oh, yeah, that makes sense So they could kind of you know fix the market a state of limited competition Thank you. That doesn't seem that bad to me for a phone company. I'm good with four Yeah, I feel like I have options as a consumer. But if those four, you know, owners are like, hey, we're all going to raise our price on

iPhones to $5,000. Good. Enter fifth guy. Yeah. If they get out of hand. But that's the thing. The free market. Oh, what was that?

I don't think you can. That's the whole OPPOly part. What's the other? There's another buzzword. It's something with the hand, the magic hand, the disappearing hand. What's it called? Gosh, I need people, more people. I don't know, dude. It's like the magic hand. I, or, I'm figuring out what I'm talking about.

It's some sort of government hand. What? Magic government hand. It's like capitalism and the free market. Invisible hand? The invisible hand. I was close with magic. What's it mean?

Speaking of things that I don't know if he understands exactly what they mean or whatever. Catherine texted me the other day. She's like, I overheard Hattie and Bo. I don't know if they were truly arguing or if they were just like playfully arguing, but Bo apparently goes, Hattie, you're a wolf in sheep's clothing. She's out of nowhere. And I don't know if he has any idea what that

means or if he just heard it somewhere. But Bo's just, Bo's get coming up with the insults these days. Yeah. That's something to get insult. That's good. Got it. So anyway, you're a wolf in sheep's clothing. Got it. So anyway, you're a wolf and she's Went to another KU game this week with my dad. Okay, great. Iowa State slaughtered him We slaughtered them texted Steve Koop. I said I'm at the game, you know, hope it's good one or whatever and oh I'd love to go to a game. There's something I was like, come on Steve. Come on out. That would be so fun. But uh, anyway This is the first time this season

where I've been to my dad's new area for season tickets. He's always got a slightly different seat. And so my dad was telling me all the people that are around him in his seats or whatever. He's like, yeah, we got this guy right next to us. Kind of odd, almost always by himself, even though he has two seats. Couldn't have described this guy better,

because he just wanted to talk to me the whole time. Anyway, but then he left at halftime, and there was this woman, these two girls next to him that normally were like one, like last year were one row in front of where we were this year. So like pretty much we know these people that have the same season tickets. But this woman, it's like these two sisters around our age and this girl has like all these idiosyncrasies. Is that a good word? Ratify? Yeah, suffrage.

She ratifies with idiosyncrasies in the isthmus. And it's like all these little things that she does throughout the game that I think she thinks are like little quirks that are gonna help the team. Like gonna help the game. Oh, geez. And so.

Not suspicion. I can't say a single word, right? Superstitions superstitions. Yeah. And it's they were all for whatever reason, whatever. I'm not I'm not making a stand on this, but she had a mask on. The only person I saw with the mask on now that's interesting. Chief's mask.

So fan of Chiefs, but didn't didn't make a noise the entire game. Like, but I looked over and then all of a sudden I was more enamored by her than the game Okay, cuz every time every time a three-pointer was shot by Iowa State she would go It was like she was a blackjack dealer. I don't know timing. Do you know? Anything about casinos? No, she's genuinely not it seems like she's like has like a voodoo doll or it was gonna say What if she's just an actual witch maybe? Blackjack dealers at the casino, they always have to like,

make sure they show the cameras, their hands, just to make sure that like, they're not accidentally stealing chips or putting them in their pocket or whatever. So they might move something around and then go like this, like, you know, or clap their hands and like, you know, do all these different things. It was like she was a blackjack dealer watching this game.

Like, yeah, she was just like, like for the free throw, she would like be doing these like fire fingers while they were shooting the shot. And then she would, they would make it and she would clap three times and then do it again. You know, it was like all these different things. I was like, wow, I, I love watching this. It was just very interesting.

Huh. And it was for sure a girl. I don't know these days. I don't know. I think so. definitely. Yes, definitely That's what I last night we played a volleyball game and I mean it was it was kind of funny how it was set up like It just it was like a scripted show basically So there was someone on the other team who looks very just gender ambiguous,

like very, very hard to tell. Gotcha. That is not a big deal. Yeah. Until you're playing in a volleyball league. Oh. Where a rule is girl has to touch it. Every single time it's over the net,

the girl has to touch it or? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like every, yeah, every volley over, a girl's gotta touch it as part of the rules. And there was one time where like, we're halfway through a set and they bump set, they hit it over. And then as the balls of the knee are coming towards me,

I realize, oh wait, that was three guys. And so I catch it thinking like, oh, that was three guys. And then for a split second, my heart drops like, oh no, was it the shorthaired maybe girl? I don't know. And thankfully they were like oh yeah you're right that was three guys oh dude I almost just might have missed it I don't know you would have like I don't know what I almost just started you would have

glitched like you just been like well you just I just I don't know I just caught it for some reason I'm not even the volleyball she plays volleyball talk to her yeah I'm a football receiver so I can't I catch it you know but I would catch a cold if you guys had one like wow yeah so come to find out it is a girl and she was not involved in that play but for a split second you're saying like oh no was she was she in that play and I was like girl Could have been a disaster Is it is it just like is the rule you have to have so many girls and so many guys? Yeah, I think you have to have three girls on your roster or whatever but not an in at a time not in at a time No, funny you ask. Yeah last night. We played with three total people

You on your team? Yeah three on six six, a lot of ground to cover. Didn't get the invite, Jake. Could have, could have, well, could have slid on the ground. Two things. One, it was at nine 30. Okay. Was the game to, uh, we looked this team was the only team in the whole league that hadn't won a single set the whole season, like a single, you know, best of three, you know, you still beat them game. And so that's why I texted the group and I was like, hey, you know, best of three, you know, single game. And so that's why I texted the group and I was like,

hey, bad news, we play the worst team and the games at 9.30. So I understand if you guys just like wanna back out. And so both two of the girls were like, I'm gonna stay home. Then Isaac was like, yeah, I'm gonna stay home too. I was like, all right. Me.

You asked for it. I know, me, Tate Unruh and Rachel. I love it. And it was actually really fun cause you do have to kind of try hard. I don't care how bad they are You just a lot of ground. Yeah, I mean they just tip it over every time So you got to go to the net then they hit it over you, but it was really fun For the first time in my life knowing Rachel Coupe triplet. She took the governor off Oh now it's fun to watch only for serving the ball. That's when it's like, there's no other variables.

Like I'm completely in charge here. And so- For the first time, you've never seen it. I've never seen it. Yeah, not like what I saw last night. Really? Oh, so you just been fooling around the last three years. Wow.

You're not even trying. Yeah, she's like jump serving and just wrecking them. So yeah, me and Tate, it was like satchel page. I was like, should we just sit down and watch? That's awesome. So that was fun. Yeah, it was a good time. It was really fun.

Yeah, just. So did you win? Yeah, we did. Yeah. Yeah, I sent a text to the group and I was like, three on six is tough, dot, dot, dot. And the next text, invisible ink for them. I think I'm gonna become an invisible ink guy.

Okay. Safe trust tree here. I don't know how to use invisible. How do you do that? Please. I would, I would like to, I would like, I would like, is a safe space. You're gonna need a government magic. I don't know how to do that.

I think it's fun. How hard have you tried? Zero. I, zero. Good question. So yeah. I also don't have my phone with me, so just tell me. I think once you try, you'll get it. Yeah, it's it's somewhat it's not awful. You're not just gonna tell me well

I don't off the top my head. I can't think of how you would I'm pretty sure Highlight when you send a text not highlight oh No, I know it's definitely not a highlight When you go to set a texture I think in the bottom right there's like a blue arrow maybe pointing up maybe so There's some blue button over there. Okay. At the end of the text bar, you hold that down. Now you got options.

Really? And in there, oh, a plethora. You know what I've loved? Bloom. I'm a big bloom guy. Like a specific word blooming it? No, yes. Yeah.

Cause I, in texts in general, I'm a big like sheesh. Or I think sheesh is a big one, but like anything. Like let's go. And then all of a sudden it blooms go. Yeah, you like that. I love that. Yeah. You got bloom options too.

I think I sent one to you guys recently that was like not, or it was bounce. Whoa, whoa, whoa. They got options for blooming? Maybe we're not talking about the same thing blooming options Oh, yeah, I'll back steakhouse with some blooming options Like a specific word not the whole text but just a specific word can like dance around. That's a new thing. Yeah Yeah, I was 18. Yeah fun

I think my favorite of the like hold down and choose one is when they just get a bunch of the text just like floating Up over the screen. I love doing that sometimes. Holy cat. Catch someone off guards. It's like, yeah, funny. Yeah. Okay.

Look at you guys. Invisible Lincoln. Bloomin options. Yeah, I like the invisible link. But yeah, Voilal is a good time. Kind of though. I think I am going to like send like a really nice like text or email just like Casey Crude like, hey, we all paid 80 bucks. We're beating teams with three players and we're in the competitive league like can we do a little better job?

Yeah, if you want to keep us around as customers, we're gonna need a better like product here. That does seem like a common Yeah problem for them like we played basketball we played basketball I don't think we ever played competitive, but we played the other two like rec and Well, we played basketball. I don't think we ever played competitive, but we played the other two, like rec and intermediate. And sometimes the rec teams were very on par with who we were. Sometimes they were much better.

And same with intermediate. Like intermediate sometimes it's like, you should be in the rec league. Yeah, I think there's just some things they could do. Like if someone's brand new, you've never heard of them. They've never signed up. They don't have an account. Yeah, how would you know?

But if like they played last year and they were bad last year they played last session Yeah, do some what are they doing the soccer relegate relegate? Yeah, I was gonna say degrade. Well, you could degrade them. It's kind of the same thing that's that's a Response from relegation. Uh-huh. Yeah first comes the relegation then comes the degradation Yeah, that that is fair Casey Cruz probablys probably like, we're getting, we just need the money. Like we just need everything.

Yeah. But then again, you're like, hey, but I don't know if we're going to stick around if this keeps happening. We'll just find our own gym and find our own people and we'll just do it for free. Yeah. That is tough though.

When it's like, I don't think these people know how to play volleyball very well. Yeah. And they're in the competitive league. And surely, maybe not not but surely the volleyball like Sure, they're not just signing up for competitive because the other ones are all full. You think that could be the problem That's a good point. I don't know. That's the only time slot for it

But it's like it's like we have to do Wednesdays and Wednesdays beginners full. Yeah. Yeah, maybe But if that's the case There should be some kind of easy solution. If nothing else is like, hey, have a questionnaire on there that says, I understand that whatever, at least half of my team needs to be very experienced and viable. Yeah. Or we know what they should do. Idea. The first night

you play two games to try and give you, everyone gets a little more data to work with. And then from there, it gets split up into two divisions. I see, yeah. Easy solution. Yeah, that works too. Is that kind of mean if I like send them a text and like give them an exact example

of a better way to do it? I don't know. I think it's a little bit, I don't know if it's Karen, but it's a little bit like that vibe, but it's also like you're having decent intentions behind it, which are probably all Karen's would say the same thing. No, I mean well with this though.

A good leadership principle that I definitely abide by is like, I don't like to bring up a problem without also providing a solution. I'm big on that. Yeah, come on. Anyway, moving on. Speaking of sports, my sister has a pretty funny story this week that she texted me about.

So as I mentioned before, they moved to Birmingham, Alabama. Yes. They've told me since, they've been there about a month and they're actually in town last week. It's where you're gonna catch up. And, you know, they were saying like, you know, it's crazy down there. They don't have pro sports, Alabama.

Anyone, all they talk about is Auburn, Alabama. I mean, that's it. That's like the conversation. Roll Tide, War Eagle. Yep. And they might even talk about high school sports down there. Hoover Buccaneers. Yeah, three a day.

Two days. Two days. Yeah, pro sports is not a thing. They're like, it's funny, we went to chief's watch party, but like no one was really watching. It was kind of weird. Like, but at college sports are like a big thing. Fast forward a couple of weeks,

and Kaylin texted me a couple of days ago, she went to a workout class, became friends with one of the girls, and she gets talking to her, and so Kaylin's just trying to make like Alabama conversation, she's like, Alabama or Auburn? And the girl's like, oh, I'm Alabama. My whole family is like really, you know, in Alabama.

Okay, great, whatever. She goes home, she's like telling Braden, her husband, like, yeah, I met this girl. Like, I'm gonna look up on Instagram. It's Nick Saban's daughter-in-law. Holy cow. She was just like, so Alabama or Auburn? Alabama, probably.

Yeah, I was like, that was probably so refreshing for that girl that you were just like, I had no idea who she was. Maybe. Holy cow. Because, oh, first, my sister texts me, do you know who Nick Saban is? Like not a big college sports. Do you know who Nick Saban is? This guy. Have you heard of him, Tyman? I had not. No, I just looked him up. Yeah, just like one of the commentator.

Commentator. Yeah, that's what it says. He is a commentator. He is like a legend. One of the best football coaches of all time. Cool. For Alabama. Yes. But yeah, you and my sister are the only two people in the world who I think don't know who he is. And so she was like, yeah, Nick Saban. I don't know. I don't know. This guy is her father in law. She said Alabama. I don't know. Yeah.

But yeah, I was like, that's so innocent. I was like, yeah, that's probably a great way to become friends with her you have no idea She is you asked her if she likes Auburn, right? It's like a criminal Yeah thing to do if your father-in-law is Nick Saban, but Yeah, that is amazing Mark Zuckerberg. You meet Mark Zuckerberg's so daughter. Yeah, snapchat or Facebook Because I'm a Facebook, Facebook gal. I lean Facebook. Zuckerberg's daughter belongs to Zook.

It's so interesting. One of my good friends, Matt Gilbert, uh, shout out Gilbert. He, uh, it didn't grow up or didn't go to Alabama, but then did his med school Alabama and then like was a team doc for all. He's the one I think I talked about. Yeah. They made those like passes, field passes for the national championship. But he, he loves Alabama and he doesn't understand why anybody would not like why anybody thinks that they're like the evil empire kind of thing. And I, and this one of those things

where I think it's like going back to the chiefs once again, it's like, he's like, guys, Alabama is wonderful. Why would you hate on Alabama? Nick Saban is a great guy. And it's like one of those things. It's so like hard for me to even fathom. It's hard for him to fathom the fact that anybody could dislike Alabama. It's hard for me to fathom why anybody would ever brute for Alabama. That's not an Alabama fan. It's human nature. People get tired of the warriors. People get tired of Steph Curry, which is crazy. People get tired of the Patriots, Chiefs, Alabama. And it's like, yeah, it's just how it goes. It's just, I think that's how KU basketball,

KU basketball is not as successful as Alabama football, but like KU basketball is just really good. And so it's like, why would you ever like KU? You know, kind of thing. I'm like, why would, how could you not see the beauty in this? It's beautiful. Even though KU has got some scandals going on, but it's fine. Um, Roll Tide, Roll Tide. That's wild. Yeah. I was like that. Also, that's awesome.

I thought you were going to say Bear Bryant's grand. Oh yeah. That'd be kind of fun too. Which would be the next level time. And look him up next. Uh, Bear Bryant, um, dead commentator, look him up next. Bear Brian. Dead commentator. Dead play by play guy for CBS sports. That'd be hilarious. Fashion icon. That's all he is on there.

Yeah. Hat guy. Yeah. Hat wearer. He looks to have a cool hat. Yeah. Yeah. It's a hairy bone master.

But yeah. Yeah. I was like, that's cool. That's a good connection to have. And you met someone, you met like Alabama royalty and I was gonna say being there. Yeah, as far as like people in Alabama go, that girl's one of the more important people.

True, I think if you live in Alabama, listening to this right now, you're like, wow, that's a big deal. If you live anywhere else, you're probably like, who cares? They're like, what yoga classes? Yeah, what time of day was it? Yeah. Have you ever listened to the 30 for 30?

Listened. What am I? I've seen it.. Have you ever listened to the 30 for 30? Listened. What am I? I've seen it. I haven't purely listened to the documentary. Have you ever done word working and had like something on your headphones that's like playing? No.

I used to always listen to the office. Have you ever watched the 30 for 30 on Alabama Auburn? Where you talk about it? No, I don't think so. I think his name is Harvey Updike that poisons the Auburn tree. Smells like an updike in tree. Do you remember that? Yeah. No. Oh, dude. Oh, I remember the tree. Yeah, I remember the tree.

Massive, beautiful tree. And he just calls into this radio station. He's like, yeah, poison your beloved tree. Roll tide. And then people are freaking out about like, I love an Alabama accent. Oh, man. So good. People truly are absolutely bonkers about yeah, college sports, SEC country, man. It's just different world. I think really what I love is I love Southern accents, like on the news or on the radio. Like that is one of my favorite things in life. When the when Trump got shot in the ear, was that in Virginia or something?

Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania nearby. Enough to where people had some accents. And I loved the firsthand account. Yeah, I saw a boy up there, he was crawling around. I didn't know what to think of it. The boy was crawling around up there. I loved his wake up.

Where's he going? Yeah, he's army crawling. Oh, the best, like most viral news clips, you know, are always the ones where the people have some kind. It's never just like, yeah, and there I was by my window and I just couldn't believe this. I peered over across the dimly lit street and I saw something.

Yeah. I done got bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that. Way better than, you know what what and then I developed bronchitis Yep, second one has time for bronchitis Yeah, I love the southern accent thought someone was barbecue and I knew this was gonna happen right I knew it oh man He's too important country It's true yeah, I I can't take Southern accents very seriously.

Like if a cop arrests me, but he's a Southern accent, I'm like, yeah, we're going to jail, but like, how bad is it? How bad is it gonna be? It's gonna last long, you're messing with me. No, you're in here for life, boy. I'm like, I don't think so. You know why I pulled you over today

You go barbecuing. Yeah, that's kind of nice kind of peaceful It's hard to think you're in trouble when they talk to you like that. It seems like you were going 65 and 45 It's like all right. No problem. Hey, I'll do better. Do whatever you gotta do brother Lock me up. Yeah, right. So Oh, man anyway What's uh, what's going on in your life right now, Jacob? Let's see. Got a fun DM this week. It seems like more and more, somewhat more frequently, like kind of fun people, human versus hamster casting directors are starting to reach out via Instagram these days, which is kind of fun. Yeah, had a new one this week. It was from Fox, you know, no, no hamsters involved here.

This seems a little more legitimate. Oh, bigger than hamsters, bigger than hamsters. Foxes. Yeah, they eat the hamsters. Right. And this was a you ever heard of the show, The Prophet? Oh, yes. Yes. Marcus. CNBC or something. Yeah, I think so. I always see the advertisements for it when I would watch Shark Tank back in the day. It's a very yeah. So if you like Shark Tank, you like the profit kind of it's a CEO of Camping World and a bunch of other things. He goes and like revitalizes kind of small businesses or makes them more profitable. Anyway, he's doing now a new show for Fox. Okay, and

Anyway got hit up about it for Friday pickleball. They're like, hey, it's kind of like Shark Tank And anyway, got hit up about it for Friday Pickleball. They're like, hey, it's kind of like Shark Tank, but instead of one company pitching to several sharks, it's three companies pitching to one shark, so to speak. And then he chooses one company that he's gonna partner with, and then he makes you more profitable. So that's kind of fun.

That's fun. And to delineate yourself from these other people that are similar to you, that'd be a fun pitch. I was like, kind of just in time, tariffs are kicking in. Yeah, I got the tariffs going. Kind of a bummer. Yeah, you probably are feeling it. Yeah, it's like this is the first time

a president has affected me as a white heterosexual male. You're like, wait a second, I think voting for the person, yeah, it matters a little bit here. I'm still kind of like, not all believe it when I see it, but it's like, I think everything's a pawn in a, you know, negotiation, you know, so yeah, maybe they last for a month and then we renegotiate or, you know, we'll see.

I'm not like a sky is falling type guy. There's some other people who are like, what are we gonna do? I'm like, let's just chill. Let's just see how it goes. We gotta raise our prices, we raise our gonna two for a hundred get used to it. There you go Yeah, baby stuff. It was sticker value. We're tariff proof here Friday Pickleball tariff proof That's a funny kind of slogan Friday Pickleball tariff proof. Hey, good answers. Yeah, you know, they're they're right here in america

I like tariff proof. Yeah, that's fun That's kind of fun opportunity. We'll see if anything. I love it comes of it That's a that's a pretty genius move by whatever profit got was his name Marcus Marcus Because then it's like these people are kind of vying like they're like well We'll let you invest for you know 20% for $300,000 and then somebody else like we'll let you invest for 20% for $300,000. And then somebody else like, we'll do 20% for 250. And then I got a bidding war. He gets a good deal.

And he gets to choose the company he wants to partner with. Yeah, totally. Yeah, great deal for him. Yeah. I like pickleball, but I don't know which one of these, who's going to give me the best deal for this versus that? Yeah.

Cool. You go up against Addict, maybe. Ooh. They get reached out to as well that would be great It's like if I say we'll only do the show if this is one of our her competitors on it And they're like those people have sold six paddles ever So I don't think they're gonna do it to pick up all companies and like a scrub daddy that wire you got you guys See my god. Yeah, they're too good. Yeah, I seem like you have beef over each other

They took another I don't even like follow them but as something got suggested me on YouTube shorts of all places and they took like another shot at us, it was like some Bottle breaking and they're like Friday pickleballs paddles, you know, whatever hard to explain Okay, basically they actually they took shots at every other paddle company So it was like it was this video of like these like glass bottles breaking and he would describe which pickleball paddle company they reminded him of. Okay. Man, I bet that just hurt.

Yeah, it had one comment. It said, what is this? Was it you? No. No. What is the, that's great. Oh, well, at least you're in the like mix of all these other big names. We're in the make take as a compliment Yeah, we're in the mix. Yeah. Yeah handful people watch that video like I need who's Friday. Yeah, right. Yeah, talk about them

Yep, they got a little rooftop indoors.

It'll be nice. Grandebunos. Yep, so yeah, I'm gonna be doing standup and then you can play pickleball with me and Scott and Isaac for like two hours afterwards if you want. Indoor will be good though I think because it's a little enclosed, good for standup. It's not super big in there.

I mean, it's big enough, but like, it know, feel like people laugh. Yeah, hope so. What do you guys think of meat? You guys like it? Oh, I haven't. I liked when I met Rachel. I liked when I met you, but I haven't liked every person I met. What about like meat cutes? Did you meet? You had a good meet cute with Rachel. I did. I met a couple dudes that way too. Luke Hoagland, Adam Hall. Yeah. Nice meet. Yeah. Cute. Yeah. What are you talking about? Just people just meeting people. No, no. Originally I was talking about M-E-A-T meet. Oh, me at. Me at. Because we're doing a, we're doing a, what's it called? An ad read right now for good ranchers.

Me ad. They got some, they got some thick, you know, stakes. Giat. You know, people often give us the feedback like, I never skip your ads. And maybe it's cause they don't know that they're even listening to an ad. Surely these, certainly the people aren't paying for this.

Yeah, they're like, this isn't it. The part that got kind of slow for us, I don't think it was an ad. It just goes weird. It seemed like they had a stroke for a few seconds. A stroke, a genius called good ranchers. Aye, aye, aye. No, no, no. It's not that cultured.

Okay. Aye, aye, aye. Aye, aye. They are from Texas. So, uh, good ranchers.com selling you the best quality meat They are once again a sponsor of this episode and we can't say good good enough things about them We can't say good things about them because there's great things to be said about them Apparently, there's also a company called great ranchers or else they would be named that probably

None of this is on our thing. We should read what they want us to say about this. I know one thing I want to say and their slogan is American meat delivered. Yes, because that's what they do. I know another thing they'll want us to say. 80 percent. Uh huh. 80 percent of take it from there.

80 percent. I had it last week. I'll move on. The chicken is outstanding. We get the better than organic chicken and you can season it with whatever you want. And it's so good. The hardest, the worst part is remembering the thought

because Rachel and I are forgetful people. You do that and you have treated yourself like a king and a queen. That's true. That's all you gotta do. That's all you gotta do. Just remember to thought. You said 80%?

80%. Sorry, it's 85%. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef is imported? That's what it is. But a good ranchers is solving that problem by sourcing directly from American farms. 100% American sourced, free from the hidden additives of no antibiotics, no added hormones, no seed oils, just one simple ingredient that you can read, and that is meat.

Yeah. Meat, ingredients, chicken, ingredients, beef, ingredients, wild-caught salmon, ingredients, pork, ingredients. Good rangers. The theme is that there's only one ingredient, and that's the healthiest way to do it, they say. Yes, they do have a discount code. Oh, let's use that. It's GRKC.

Great. Twenty five dollars off plus free ground beef, chicken breast or wild caught salmon in every order for a year. Take advantage of that, folks. Take advantage of that. I would jump on that if I were you. The the seafood is all 100 percent wild caught, sustainably sourced, frozen fresh, the real deal. So check them out.

Support America. Support America, support Good Ranchers, GRKC. It's American meat delivered from GoodRanchers.com. I have a question about standup comedy. That's why I'm asking this now. First of all, Laughs and Lobs, great name, hilarious. Great job, C&P. Whoever's doing the marketing there is just nailing it.

I can't wait. Second uh, I watched a comedy special that just recently came out. Wasn't trace. Okay. Aaron Weber. Wish you wouldn't have said that. Okay. It was somebody's. Okay. Okay. Okay. It was somebody's out there. Uh, and it was good for the record. I liked it. I was very curious. A, if you know, if you know, if the people do this, B, if you've done it yourself. Okay. Basically it looked, it sounded like they absolutely added a laugh track. Like it was like, not, not because the stuff that he was saying was not funny.

Yes, it's a guy. That's all I'm going to say. Uh, but because it was like, there's no way this room is uproariously laughing that much because every once in a while they'd zoom out just a little bit and you'd see the people in the front and they were, they were very happy, but they weren't laughing. I mean, they were just like enjoying this show. And I'm like, does that happen that you know of and have you ever added them on yourself? Because good questions because like, I'm sure that for a special, you have more better sound of the crowd and everything. But at the end of the day, you're not going to be able to sit like sometimes like, no, the crowd was laughing really hard, but you can't hear it very well in the recording.

And so I don't, I'm not blaming anybody for doing it, but I also, I'm like, it seems like, and then I, then I started scientifically dissecting it and like that laugh sounds exactly like the one five seconds ago. It's the same MP3 file. I'm trying to, I'm trying to like, listen to the laugh. I was like, okay, that one's a little shorter. That one seemed like it was just a shorter version of the longer one.

You know, it's like, it was always that person laughing or whatever, so. I would not be surprised one bit if there was some fake laughter in there. It's gotta happen across the board, just to fill, just to give everything more texture. I'm sure it happens. Yes, the audience is like extremely mic'd up,

but I'm sure they, if nothing else, are amplifying the noises and yeah, adding their own like baseline of laughter in there. I'm guessing, especially anything that's on like a streaming service, a Netflix, a Hulu, a Prime special. Yeah, there's some, probably some fake laughter in there. Have I done it on my last special?

No. On a clip? Yes. Because my clips typically don't have good audio. Sometimes it's only my microphone. So you truly can't hear the audience. I'm like, I was there. I know they were laughing.

The reason I'm posting this is because they laughed. I'm not gonna post something that bombed. I would crawl into a hole if it bombed. Like, you know, it doesn't make sense. So yeah, I've added in laughter along with real audience laughter for like an Instagram clip. Okay. But for the special, I mean, that was all done like trace people had it all good. And I was like, I think anything I do to this is going to sound fake. And yeah, yeah, you could probably really

tell if you listen to a special on headphones, I bet you could tell better. Okay. Maybe I'll do that next time. Yeah. I, like I said, I, and so now I'm dissecting everything. Like now I'm like, because I remember Shane Gillis was on SNL and I remember being like very intrigued by that. He got canceled by SNL and then he was hosting it. And so I remember him performing, you know, stand up at the beginning on his monologue and I thought it was pretty good. And it sounded like the people were laughing pretty hard.

But then people like were like, man, he really bombed. And I was like, didn't seem like he bombed on me. Yeah, interesting. And obviously SNL is live. So I don't think, unless they're having this meter and cranking up the laugh track up and down or whatever. And then I watched somebody on Jimmy Fallon recently. And I was like, I wonder,

I just wonder if people, it just doesn't feel like to me, if I'm in the audience, I don't immediately laugh super hard. Like sometimes they're laughing in this. So I don't know. There's some movie magic in there. I just wonder now everything is, I'm thinking about it all the time. I'm like, I don't know if everyone's laughing as hard

as they're acting like they are. This is not a very Jake way of looking at things in most realms of life But so much of content creation is a little tinkered with it's a little fake It's a little more set up than what you think it is. Give me like what do you mean? That's thing I don't know just like well when you have me like add the CGI ball in Oh, yeah, we don't play with a real pickleball. Yeah, so it you have me like add the CGI ball in front. Oh, yeah We don't play with a real pickleball. Yeah, so it can be more controlled for the story and stuff

Yeah, so we just use paddles because that's like the main part of our business So we just go out there and kind of like pantomime a game and we have time and add in the ball later The paddles are real paddles. Yeah. Yeah, and you guys are all it's tough to add like a paddle How do you make your hair stand up so well is that is that something? So that you could see I don't want to touch it cuz it'll mess with the editing Yeah, you could see my hair is significantly shorter But timing you can kind of see like where he's added on some like fake hair on top of the real hair It's kind of like a green screen. Yeah, okay. Yeah brown screen. Yeah

I'm trying to think of example just like anything that's like done, anything that's done in public is probably more set up than they want you to think it is. That's fair. I always think that like, yeah, it's like, you think that you just randomly asked this person this question out of nowhere. Anything between a husband and wife is probably more set up than you think it is. Yes. All the, all the rants of, yeah, whatever.

Like, brank. Wait, say that thing. Babe, wait, whatever like Frank wait say that thing babe Wait, say that again. See that thing you were gonna say. Are you just saying to me? All right. Got it. Yeah Yeah, although we mean Big Daddy going public though for a parade Real yeah Hundred percent that's the one example. I think it's not like a list was coming. But that was it I was like, well the content with my wife is obviously scripted. So that isn't that's not really what I'm talking about. What about?

What do you do for a living? You think those are scripted in public? Yes. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, that's fair, because it's like, hey, I'm going to I'm about to ask you if I can go see your apartment. Do you mind if? Oh, yeah. And those are like collabs with. Yeah, you started to tag them.

Yeah. Yeah. Once you started tagging those I it's over cuz like not real anymore I feel like that guy it might have started out a lot more real But that's my theory is like it was it was because it was people that no one ever heard of anyway Yeah, but they were just successful and now every time you look at it. It's like oh, this is like a country singer Yeah, it's like they have an athleisure brand and they're clearly trying to promote it Yeah, which good for him. There's so many formats you start off, you know, doing your thing and then you become almost a late night talk show. You're like, Oh, now people want to come on here to use it as a platform to win, win. But so since you do the CGI ball, can I just suggest

maybe having some themes behind it? Like in fourth July video, do an American ball. Oh, that's good. American ball. American ball. Oh, that's good. American ball. Oh, that's why I call them a bald eagle. Yeah. For when wicked was big, you guys could have partnered with wicked with just a slightly greener ball partner with wicked. Yeah. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I don't really do that. I liked the movie. I should have thought of that. I'm going to play with Ariana Grande. Elf-a-ball. Elf-a-ball. Elf-a-ball, that's good. Or, get in the Glinda's kitchen.

Yeah, right? Yep. What was that magic governing body, Harry Potter? Yeah. What was it? Magic of, ministry of magic. Ministry of magic.

We partnered with them and, Griffin ball. Griffin ball. Ministry of Magic. We partnered with them and Griffin Ball. Griffin Ball. Yeah. I thought you had something teed up. You would think. You're really milking this thing. I couldn't think of any other houses. Slytherin, Griffin Ball, Hufflepuff.

Huffleball. Hufflepuff. And then Charizard. You're Hufflepuffing pretty hard over there. What is the fourth one? Charizard. Okay, uh slithering No, it's it's Charizard Squirtle. So they're in Hufflepuff Beatles Beatle Sonic the Hedgehogs works be a board ball head ball Bumblebee

Decepticons GI GI Joe's and beta Johnny Quest C3P ball C3PO ball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. There's Mandalorian and And Ravenclaw Ravenclaw. Yeah, that's what it is. Yep. Those are the 17 lambda Chi And Delta sick, it's yeah so What are we talking about? CGI track. Laugh track. Laugh track. Laugh track. Thank you, Timon. I really enjoyed the special. It was Eric Webbers. It was.

I listened to him on Jimmy Fallon on my way to the gym this morning. Yep. You saw half the special basically. Really? Yeah. I really, I don't, I've listened to Nate land a handful of times. I think he's fine on there. I really enjoyed his comedy though. I think he's pretty good. I really like Aaron. He was great when we've like worked with him. Like we've done shows with him in Huntsville, Alabama. I thought he was so funny. He seems cool too. Like, yeah. Yeah. He's a good hang and yeah. What was the joke he had this morning about? Some was good. Oh, he said like, I don't care for the doctor, but I love urgent care. He's like, doctors, they talk down to you. They've got their diplomas on the wall.

Urgent care says, do you have $40 right now? We'll figure this out together. We'll figure this out together. Totally. Yeah, that was a good joke. Yeah, he talks about like, have you been taking anything for this? He's like, just Sudafed.

He's like, she's like, okay, can you try to spell that for me? He's like, oh man, you know, you don't even know what Sudafed is. Yeah, you spell it. I've never taken Ibuprofen. Pretty good. So anyway, had that random thought for you. I wanted to ask the comedian in the room. Thanks. You're welcome. I morphed back into comedian briefly yesterday. Just goes like, well, I got this gig coming up. I gotta like remember what to say. And also this is like a pickleball gig. Maybe I try some new stuff, whatever. How long is a gig?

30 minutes, which private gig, 30 minutes, pretty lengthy. Yeah. So I went a little walk with myself yesterday and just tried to like rehearse it in my head. Oh, I remember something from my walk. So where I've been working out, maybe this is just common to all fitness centers,

they are blasting music through headphones, which I don't, through their speakers, which I don't love, because we all have headphones on. We don't need music blasting. So like, I'm trying to think here. So I'm like, all right, I should put headphones on. What do I need to listen to to drown things out? I try lo-fi beats.

Oh, really? Thumbs down to lo-fi beats. So then I try, what'd you say? Stranger Things soundtrack or Tron soundtrack. Oh, that is a fun idea. I thought of you guys, because that one time we had a conversation about different colors of noises. Very progressive of us, I must say. Mainstream media hasn't. So I put on Brown Noise. Got a little qualm with Brown Noise. One, some yah Yahoo's get on there. Welcome

to Brown Noise podcast. We're back with another, I'm like, don't talk to me. Get out of here. Play Brown Noise. Yeah. It's like, it's like in rumor Titans, like what's wrong, Gary? Don't come in here. That's what I feel like with that guy with Brown Noise. I will say I have a specific brown noise. It's a deep layer. So do I. Time and deep. Sorry. This is YouTube. Were you on Spotify or something? This is Spotify.

Yeah, I've never tried it on there, but I have or maybe I have. I don't know. I've done. I do deep layered brown noise. Twelve hours. All right. So you just have a YouTube video playing the entire time on your screen or do you have YouTube premium? No, I think you have YouTube premium, which I was going

to recommend. I don't have YouTube premium. I, I think for studying, I have found a spot if I want to think about it. It was like some first sleep like thing. But yeah, like sometimes when I'm sleeping, I'll have just like my laptop. If I don't have like maybe the Alexa or something like that to play some like brown noise, I will just like have my computer charging and open with like the screen brightness turned all the way down and just like play brown noise on that instead of your phone. Yeah. You go laptop because phone it's so high frequency. So the phone every once in a while.

So trouble. Yeah. When we're traveling, Catherine will be, I should play it on my phone. Like, oh, just go ahead. Throw it out the window. I will put it I just played on my phone like, oh, God. Just go ahead and throw it out the window. I will put it, I will put my phone under a pillow sometimes. Like I'll turn up the life hack if I don't have my laptop. Something I did in Napanee.

I used the radio that the hotel provides and just went to an AM frequency all the way to the left. So it's just a little, Jake didn't mind. I didn't mind, didn't even notice. He didn't whine about it. So not only is this guy talking to me, welcome back to the Brown Noise, but guys we got a great show for you today. We're sponsored by Blue Apron.

So I'm like, oh, go ahead and skip through this. Just give me to the Brown Noise. I skip a lot and then what do I hear? Some like better help at or something. What? No way. On Brown Noise, I mean, good for you. at or something. I was like, what? No way. On Brown Noise? I mean, good for you.

Get your money. But I just did not expect that. So I'm guessing what he said at the beginning was like, there's gonna be some interruptions here at the beginning. And then after that, you just enjoy your Brown Noise. I'm guessing he said something like that. I like how he's like a radio DJ from the seventies. Rachel always says, she's like,

you're gonna be a radio DJ in like 40 years. Traffic on the 10s and 10s. Yeah. Welcome back to Jake's Radio Hour. Yeah. Got a great show for you, Miley Cyrus. So anyway, that was really annoying. I will say that it feels like

that's a great business to get into because if you find the right brown noise and you're using it every single night, that guy's got a million plays on his podcast. Three pre-roll ads to start off and then you're in clear, yeah, he's making so much money. And everyone knows, yeah, just skip those, but he can then advertise and market be like, yeah, we have a million listeners every year.

It's like, wow. Okay. Anyway. There's so many people making money in dumb ways, probably. Oh yeah. Us included. No qualms with that. Anyway, there's so many people making money in dumb ways probably. Oh, yeah, awesome included No, no qualms with that Okay back to Jim

Qualms will say Jim qualms. Okay Who is that a Explorer Jim qualms Jim qualms? Yeah, he it was South America. He discovered Brazil. Yes thought Thought he was in the West Indies. So I've learned a few things about game shows by going to the gym. Okay. So I'm going to weird hours, but it's always during the day. There's always daytime television on.

So I've learned that Jeopardy, hard game to play if you can't hear the TV. So the TV is muted because they're playing my Sharona constantly. Jeopardy very hard game to play because you can see the question, the answer, but then they verbally say the second part. So you never know if you have the answer right or not.

Not that fun. Yesterday they had Family Feud on. Oh cool, Family Feud, you can see the answers, but you can't see the questions, because Steve Harvey says it. Annoying as well to have on a gym TV. These are the worst things to have on a muted television. You can't play along.

There's no point to them. So then I was like, you know what? So I've been trying to like, I have a theory that here in a little bit, I'm probably gonna join like lifetime with you. And- I keep hearing about it, Jake, I'm ready for it to happen. Well, I don't think I should pay for two gym membership.

So once I'm done with Brookridge, then I'll move over. Fine, dude. If you're gonna be so cheap about it. Yeah. So I have a theory. I know when I think back to like, oh, when I first started working out, I'm gonna have so many memories tied to the same thing,

and it's gotta be Brookridge and it's gotta be Chiefs. Because right now, the Chiefs have been in the playoffs the entire time I've been working out. And so that's all I could assume, because it's like, well, let's just like squeeze this dry, because then you have to wait six months for football again. So that's what I'm trying to consume.

I'm like, you know what? Why don't I use this time, an hour every day, let's learn something. Jeopardy kind of inspired me. So I was like, I'm gonna put on a trivia podcast. That probably exists. I don't know. There's gotta be a trivia podcast out there.

And so my other qualm is we need to start a trivia podcast. Cause this one was, it was like the most, you type in trivia to Spotify, there's like a clear front runner, click on that. Did not enjoy it, would not recommend it. We could do so much better. That'd be fun. It'd be fun.

I'd be down. I mean, we clearly know a lot of answers already. Social studies, vocab words, we'd be money. That's half the fun though is like, we could make it fun obviously, but also be funny about it. Yeah, she had a co-host that she zoomed in. Alrighty. Boom.

That's one strike. Ah! Ha ha ha. Game show. Um, two, it seems like there's a little bit of a business here. Good for them. They've got like online PDFs you could print out and play along with. Who's that for?

Ah ah ah! Your name's gotta be Barbara. You gotta be retired to do that. It's a podcast. You want a hard copy of the questions? Yeah, so I'm like, I think the whole point of the podcast is to multitask here.

But also I really didn't like how long I had to wait to get the answers. That was what was most bothersome. First question was like, this Lady Gaga hit has several phrases in French. And I was like, I think that's born this way. I don't know why I know this about a slump dog millionaire moment right now.

I think that's born this way. I think there's something French in there. I was so excited to do the first question. Question number two. Oh. What? I'm not sticking around to the end. How long is the end?

Yeah, you don't know at that point how many questions are doing. Yeah, I don't know when to get to the end. 15 questions later. Yeah, I didn't like when to get to the end. 15 questions later. Yeah, I didn't like that either. Oh wow. And then I gotta remember all my answers. I'm working out.

I don't know what I said earlier. I got convinced myself I had the right answer. Yeah, right. Okay. So something to think about. We'll figure out our own format for this. Cause they had a code, like they could have made it so much more fun.

Like, yeah, stall a little bit, say some funny quips while the audience gets a chance to like, think of their answer. All right, three, two, one. You know, you could pause it if you know, if you're still thinking the answer. What was the, Tymon, tell me if this is gonna date us. What was the thing that was live every single day?

Was it HQ? Yeah, I think you're right. Remember this? I don't think so. It was a phenomenon for like two weeks. Barely too young, I bet. Ty, I mean, would have loved it. Five years ago, maybe.

So six years ago. Yeah, basically it was like this. Remember his name? Scott. Scott. Skowalski or something like that. Scott Jaborski. Rogowski. Scott Rogowski. So is this guy every single day at like, I don't know, whatever 7pm. I

don't know what time it was. He would come on and I think it was, was it 10 questions or five questions? 10 questions and you would play live trivia with everyone else that's streaming this thing. Cool. And if somehow you got all 10 questions, right. And it was all multiple choice. If you got all 10 questions, right? You won a share of a million dollars, right? I mean, I think it got once more people started playing a playing. I think it got higher and higher and higher It was like a crazy amount This was like I'm like Christmas of 2017 is when it really hit the hardest I'm pretty sure I'm looking it was first place in August of 2017 and I'm ever playing it around wintertime. Yeah a ton, huh?

August of 2017. And I remember playing it around winter time. Yeah. A ton. Huh? But you only, but the thing I love about HQ is that you only had five seconds for the answer before you got the answer. Yeah. You either know it or you don't. And so I like, that's good. That's how it should be. It should be heavy on the questions. Yeah. Cause most of the time it's not like, Oh gosh, I need to remember this. What is it again? And if, if that's the case on's not like, oh gosh, I need to remember this. What is it again?

And if that's the case on a podcast, pause it real quick. Yeah. Like we watched, sometimes Catherine and I watch Jeopardy and yeah, just positive. You're like, oh, I'm trying to remember what that is. Oh gosh. Oh, dream on by Aerosmith. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Push play on March 28th, 2018. The app recorded a high of a 2.38 million concurrent players like on at one time. Yeah It was pretty cool like appointment viewing like you had to be on at this time, right? You missed the first question you you don't win. Oh, it was beautiful. I got like five months. It was awesome I got to question nine one time. It was no way. Yeah, it was at Isaac's house. I remember Wow Yeah, cuz I mean the first like one or two would be kind of easy, but then they would get tough.

I mean, most people didn't make it past five. It is amazing though, like multiple choice. Like you can't just get lucky for 10 questions. It's never happens. Like they must know enough about like, if you have enough questions, most people will not get them all right. Man, that was awesome.

He's barely missed. It was great, dude. It sounds sweet. I wonder if it's just gone. Yeah, that was awesome. He's barely missed. It was great, dude. It sounds sweet. I wonder if it's just gone. Yeah, they haven't done a game since 2022. Okay. It was absolutely electric for a couple weeks. I feel like it was the talk of the town.

Yeah. And it's prime, HQ trivia gave away up to $300,000 for a single game's final prize. Oh, okay. So maybe it was, what was, maybe it wasn't a million. Maybe it was a hundred thousand or for a single game's final prize. OK, so maybe it was what was maybe wasn't a million. Maybe it was one hundred thousand or something. Yeah, maybe. Back then, though, before inflation. Yeah, right. Inflation was invented.

You could do some things with one percent flooding in that land right there. Oh, that was a good time. Yes. Good memories. So, yeah, I this whole time, time I thought it was the state of Maine. Maine street roasters. Really? No. Yeah, there's no E at the end. No. And it's... That's why I was like, this is a quick drive up to Maine. We have a lot of fans in Maine.

I was like, Acadia is way farther away from Napanee than I assumed it would be. There were a lot of Canadians there though, so I could see why that was confusing. Exactly. So, oh, let's go ahead and run it, Dad, time, you rolling? And Main Street Roasters. Main Street Roasters. True story, had my Main Street Roasters today,

my mother-in-law's in town, so. Get ready, hey, everyone, strap in, here comes Brad's big mother-in-law joke. Oh boy, Do I have a good one for you? So then I was like, that's my mother in law. Looks like my wife in 40 years. She's only 26 years older. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, Catherine made the coffee today. I'm usually the coffee maker in the family, but I slept in really well on Cozier Sheets. That was an old ad read.

We're doing a new one for mainstream roasters. Catherine made the coffee twice as strong as I usually do. She's like, how do you know how much beans to put in? I was like, I just do one tablespoon for every cup. She's like, well, I did two. Still tasted amazing. Buzzing. Still great.

Yeah, feeling great from buzzing for these beans. And it's been a good episode. It's been a great episode. Direct correlation. Yes. Get your beans, get your grounds, get your K cups, whatever you need. Major Roasters has got them

It's just a long voicemail I have another quick Observation that I want to know if this is relatable or not, dude. Okay, uh, it's for you time and you're gonna say nah, dude because Uh, you know about hq trivia. You don't go to sporting events, really. And tell me if I've talked about this before, because I've had this thought for a while.

But the veteran recognition thing at sporting events. It sounds like you had a take about this, but I don't remember what the take was. OK, so the take is this. So Tymon, if you don't know, such goes out there. Veterans veterans are people who fought for our country or other people's countries. Yeah. But we recognize the ones that fought for America, our side, ball eagle, or just served.

They don't have to fight. It could have been a medic. Stop assuming the worst. Yeah. Desmond Dawes. Yeah, exactly. Pacifists. We'll recognize them too. So what they do is they'll be like, uh, you know,

do a nice, uh, announcer voice for this. For like, uh, yeah. Now we would like everyone to pay the respects all rise for the 39th infantry. Yes. Like it's, so it's like, it's like usually one per like we today, we recognize our salutes to service by Bud Light. This, you know, Oh, it's sponsored by Bud Light. This, you know, oh, it's sponsored by Bud Light. It, the, the one in a Royals is a Bud Light salutes a service or something like that. Amazing. Army corporal James Duncan. And then James starts walking out and they're playing, you know, nice patriotic song in the background. And then people just start standing up and clapping. Always a wonderful thing.

But what happens is they just muffle out the actual accomplishments that this guy does. So we're just clapping. Oh, during. Yeah, yeah. We served eight years in Iraq. Like this guy could have killed Ben Laden and I would have had no idea.

Cause we're, yeah. Like they're just talking and they talk for 45 seconds about all the things this guy did. And I don't know anything they say. I'll be the crowd. You be the announcer. Okay. I'll try it up. Yep. Yep. All right. So today the Bud Light Salute to Service. We welcome Army Corporal James Duncan. James served for 15 years as Army Corporal in Fort Bragg. Thank you. Before heading, doing two terms in Afghanistan, as well, killing Osama bin Laden's dog, cat and rhinoceros. Wow. That's amazing. So today,

James, this buds for you, James serve too. That's really awesome. It's like, obviously we recognize this guy wonderful, but they did, they do that at the KU game every single time and you can't hear anything. Just. And it's like, I love that we stand up and salute. But all of his accolades are muted. Yeah, have no idea how truly impressive this guy. Like, was he just an ROTC?

You know? Like he was ready, you know? Yeah, he could load a gun. Yeah, he's a national guard. Or was he like, no, this guy was ready, you know. Yeah, he could load a gun. Yeah, he's a national guard. Or was he like, no, this guy was on the front lines. Chris Kyle was this guy's best friend, you know. If you had to join one, which one would you join? Marines.

Well, if I could be in my ideal shape, or like right now. I don't know, sure. No, yeah, even ideal shape. Marines, dude. Just because they're like. Fuse of the Pratt. Fuse of the Pratt, I mean, he's all commercial.

Yeah. It's a good commercial. If I were, if I were frigging in shape, like a Marine and I wore that uniform, Catherine would be just jumping my bones. Six kids. Oh baby. Easily. Seven.

Yeah. Now Navy seals also cool. Yeah. Super cool. Where are they on the hierarchy of cool military people? Are they underneath? They're out there. Are they above SEAL or above?

Yeah. Actual SEALs? Probably above actual SEALs. I think they're above Marines. Maybe. They're above Marines. They might be. I don't know.

I don't know who's fewer and prouder. SEAL Team 6. They've got their own kind of brand. They only have six of them. Marine Team. I haven't heard of a Marine Team. What about Army Rangers? Yeah, they're the ones in Elf, right?

No, it's Park Rangers. Oh, the Central Park Rangers. That's what I think people in the Army are. Oh, yeah, they hate Santa. No, I don't want to be an Army Ranger. I think the Army Rangers are the ones that jump out of airplanes. Also super dope. I'm sure they all have. bet the few the proud have also jumped out figured out how to Yeah, I think I don't think i'd go navy. I don't think I want to be on the water that much. I think I want land

Navy is seals So so I guess goodbye seals dude also air force Air force could be cool. Air Force is wild. Air Force could be cool. Navy was top gun though. Now that's confusing to me, because I think aquatic. Yeah.

But Navy flies. I guess so. A few proud. Yeah, a few of the proud of the Navy. We had to, I told you about how like my music teacher growing up, like our choir teacher was really patriotic. And so I know all the, all the songs. I can't, can't sing them right now off top of my head, but like we learned all the army, air force, like all the armed forces on even coast guard.

Wow. So coast guard. We had a teacher, very strange, very strange art teacher, a little redundant. But our teacher ox a little redundant. But- Art teacher oxymoron kinda. I think it was like probably the seventh anniversary of 9-11, just started feeling fired up. Not anti-Al-Qaeda, but pro-America. And just started cranking, oh, I should mention

this guy's like 61, maybe, old art teacher. Just starts cranking sit ups while like this American like song is playing in middle art class. Sit ups, what? Ask Cousins Devo about it. What? He started busting out sit ups. He didn't say like guys were all doing this for.

No, everyone had their phones out. We were just recording them doing sit ups. What in the world? Yeah, Mr. Reese. Mr. Reese. He has like a 20 year old wife. Oh wow. He also lost all of his hearing because he used to used to be a drummer in a rock band So, I mean you could do whatever you wanted in that class

Do we accept disrespect this flag? We we have a segment every week where it's just like a different character from your high school Because that is something that we've never talked about before I'm gonna text Steve over right now all those things Mr. Reese was doing sit-ups on 9-11. He's just like, all right, let's go for it. Here we go. One for every floor. That's wild, dude. Just go for it.

And he played a proud to be an American in the background, Lee Greenwood. Something like that. I'm almost positive it was like a show. And I'm proud to be an American in the background. Lee Greenwood. Something like that. I'm almost positive it was like a show. And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. Come on. The killed won't be ready for another five minutes guys.

Let's do this. Wow. I'm more impressed that you were an art as a kid. Yeah. You had to get a fine art credit somewhere. So everyone said Mr. Reese pretty easy Yeah, just make sure those colors don't run. I mean we're doing water colors today So it's confusing. Oh

That's amazing. Mr. Reese. Yeah, I wonder if he's still alive If so, I bet he would be still kicking loves those troops man. That's great. Yeah, that's a good take about the sluice service though Yeah, next time you think about it. They just don't clap until it's over See if that'll catch on also that could be awkward now that like the precedent has been set like we're gonna stand up and clap For this guy immediately. Everyone just stands up. It's just silent. Yeah Tough, but hey moment of silence. That shows respect. So I don't know. Anyway, I always, I love the, I do get emotional like every time we do those things. But then it's like, then I found this part in my brain. I was like,

ah, I wish we would recognize him more. We're almost just like robots, just like clapping for this guy, but having no idea what he's doing He couldn't even tell you if he was in the army or the Navy or the Air Force, you know They're all good. Of course. That's my hot take is that they're all good all good with me. Yeah, I Just got a text from rusting down. He lives in Paola. That's where that land was cuz I was like, hey We know at this lane, you know good part of town. We're talking and he literally just texted me Hey that vacant land is in a hundred year floodplain. He didn't tell me how to feel about though. That's still, you know, a hundred years. It's not going to be flooded for one of those years. I mean, how much of these guys that do real estate know about land, right? Like Peter didn't even have me inspect

my chimney. Could I build a moat? Yeah. That's what moats are for right? Flood or a dry moat. I'll build a dry moat. Dry moat sounds good or just get a boat. Houseboat. Houseboat. Yeah. That's cool. And people, you're going to be like Noah. People are going to be like, what's this idiot doing in a boat? It's like, just you wait. They see just you wait. What is the latest on house stuff? You have your roof still leaking or oh, there's a lot of rain. Yeah. No, nothing came through the master bedroom. Okay. We'll see. This might just be something I tackle when it's time to sell it. I don't know. I feel like roof is a big deal. Yeah, yeah, hey, good point. That's a good counter argument to that. I hear ya, I hear ya.

Just tired of dealing with stuff. I can't adult today, all right? I just can't even. Yeah, so it's something I need to figure out, but I have not yet. Okay, just curious. Basement ready to go for, oh wait, no, your in-law's already here.

Yesterday was the deadline, in-law's already here. We did it baby. It's it's here. We dude shout out Ghosty Jordan algae the man dude freaking awesome much like his last name He'll go anywhere He'll he'll find his way in a nooks and crannies. Yeah, he's always on the north side his way into something Green with envy that he's at your house. That's right. Algy. He's like, top of an old pond.

I'm like, Jordan, I need your help. He's like, I'll gee you there. Good. No, he helped me. One day, we laid all the flooring down, which was awesome. New flooring. I've used the word deteriorating a lot about myself. Like in the last week, I'm just like, I'm just, I feel deteriorated.

I'm deteriorated. Like there was so that, so he was like, I'm free on Friday. If you want me to come help you. I was like, okay, I would love for him to help me with the floors. And so Thursday, Thursday was when we recorded the podcast last week. And then I stayed up. I talked about, I think on the podcast, like. And then I stayed up. I talked about it on the podcast. I only got like four or five hours of sleep the night before. And then Thursday, I think I got like an hour and a half of sleep. Oh, wow. Maybe kind of the two hours.

Yeah, it was crazy. So I was like, I need to spray. I'm painting all the walls in the ceiling, but I have to spray that. Did you know like throughout the day, like tonight's the night, because every now and all have those, we probably have those when you're editing, like I know my deadline, no much to do. I was staying up all night tonight. So you see the writing on the wall.

Yeah. Did you get to prep for an all nighter? A little bit. Yes. Yeah. I think mentally, I think he told me about this. I think he said he was free maybe Wednesday. Like so it wasn't like a lot of time.

That's when I was like, okay, so reverse engineering this. If I want to paint before I do this because even you paint, you know It gets when you spray it it gets everywhere And so it's like I can't spray it once we get the floors down Okay, unless I tape off everything which is spray now spray now and so I was like but it's gonna need multiple coats I'm gonna have to prime this and do that. So I was like, I think I'm just gonna have to stay up super late Yeah And so yeah It would spray for an hour and then wait for like two hours for it to dry.

And so there was one time I took a little nap at one point for like, from like 3.30 to 4.30 and woke up and sprayed some more, but then was getting coffee with Bob at seven. So I got, can't miss out on that. Yeah, salute to service. And then, yeah, got coffee with Bob, my sister, it was her birthday.

And so the two, my two sisters and I got breakfast after coffee with Bob. And then 1030 rolls around, Jordan shows up. We worked for like nine hours on this floor. It was like one of those times where it was like, I'm so tired, but I feel so accomplished. And like the floors were like by far the most like necessary and like changing thing in the whole thing. Like painting. Yeah. Made a difference, but the floors made it look like an actual like finished. What kind of floors we're talking to LVP, which is luxury vinyl planks, which is like laminate flooring. But it looks to somebody who's not super well versed. You might think it's hardwood, but it's not hard. Oh, great.

It's like, it's like, but it's it's faux hardwood. Yeah. Great. So yeah, it's hardwood, but it's not hard. Oh, great. It's like, it's like, but it's, it's faux hardwood. Yeah. Great. Uh, so yeah, it's kind of hard when, you know, nothing, it looks great. It looks nice. And, uh, yeah, shout out to Jordan came over and just work till it was done kind of thing. And, um, yeah, I got some, learned how to hang some doors, set some doors and door frames learned. Yeah. I feel like I've learned a lot of stuff, which is fun from Jordan. Becoming well-rounded. So it's ready to go. It's ready to go.

It's definitely not done by any means, but it's like definitely usable. Cause yeah, we're recording this three days before the Superbowl. So we don't know what happened, but I'm gonna bold prediction. There is some sort of controversy afterwards. Really? I think people don't agree with something.

I'll say this right now is BS. There's BS. I'm on your guys side. But BS stands for ball security. It was all about BS. There's a bunch of BS. And I think that it's SWAT. I think his elbow is down, but they call it a fumble.

Yeah. I don't know. It's all scary. It's all about BS. It's why the pylons are there. And what's BS backwards? SB Saquon Barkley. Yep.

It's his birthday on the SB SB Super Bowl, Saquon Bowl, Saquon Barkley. So that let's reverse it again. It's a birthday birthday celebration.ley. So that's reverse it again. It's a birthday. Birthday celebration. Yeah. So that's BS. He's he had a birthday celebration. They made him a cake either way.

Yep. You know. Either way. So I'm excited for a Sunday. It'll be fun. Just get the boys together. I've got some fun plans for us. Okay.

I don't even want to tell you. Shouldn't even have said I have fun plans for us. Should I take some creatine beforehand? Yeah. Okay. Dude, the more I've been looking at creat for us. Okay. I don't even want to tell you shouldn't even said I have fun playing I fun plans for us. Should I take some creatine beforehand? Yeah, okay Do the more I've been looking at creatine. You were so right. Everyone should be taking creatine. It's amazing I've told Catherine like you need to take every day For the mental acuity alone and let of course the ATP. Oh, tell me about around the pole. Don't ask. Okay Benefits of creating like oh well the well the ATP, I mean, it's just, okay. Oxygen to your muscles.

Oxygen to P protein. Oxygen. We almost had it. AUX, YGN2T proteins. Yeah. Proteins are in your muscles, right? That's what they're made of. Dude, I have had just injury after injury. I think name a body part and it's bled or just been sore this past month from this basement thing after lane. So, so the night before spraying all the ceilings and everything, my neck and my shoulders are

sore from that. Here I am doing this. And then next day laying the floors, just, I hate the ground. I'm on the ground all day. Next day, my hamstrings are blasted. Just absolutely so sore. And I have cuts all over.

Rosie calls in my boo-bos. Oh, that's nice. She puts a Y in there. Oh, daddy boo-boo. Boo-boo, daddy, what happened? We were like shopping at Aldi yesterday and she like stopped me because she was so concerned. Oh, that's nice. It puts a Y in there. Daddy, boo boo. You'd be daddy. What happened? We were like shopping at all the yesterday. And she like stopped me because she was so concerned.

Daddy, boo boo. That's nice. But last night, a new one, new injury just dropped. I was using, you know, Dyson. Yeah, you have a Dyson. Yeah, you throw dice. Yeah. Come on.

We're throwing dice and dice elbow. I was, I was vacuuming the dice with the Dyson downstairs, getting ready for father-in-law, mother-in-law to come. And anyway, it was bringing it upstairs. Bo was up the stairs already. And I pretended like it was like a G-U-N, like a super soaker kind of thing. And I held up the entire Dyson.

I was like, boom, I'm going to get you. And dude, my, like, it was like one of those internal like elbow, like, I like train or pulled or something. I had to take like a lot of ibuprofen last night just to fall asleep. Cause my arm was hurting so bad. You like tore something like, yeah, maybe like a terrorist, whatever that is a strain or whatever, just from like holding up this like long stick basically towards a bow. I was like, well, just trying to be a good dad, trying to be a fun dad, trying to play, trying to pop my kid real quick. So, but yeah, a lot of views, a lot of soreness, but I've coming out of it and I'm hoping to just actually be sore from

working out rather than good painting. Good. So I'm excited for you to be at the basement. See, see how excited to see it finished product. I mean, it's not going to look like well, the floors are going to make it look different to you. But still got a TV down there. Not yet. But that's my father-in-law is here and he's like ready. He's like, I got my work pants. I brought my work pants with me. I'm ready to work. That's nice. He said that he's like, where's your TV? I was like, that's one of the things on the list. In due time, Bobby, in due time. That's one of the things I call him Bobby. Yeah, you refinished a basement.

It's like, I can hang a TV in five seconds. No problem. It's the easiest part. It's a cherry on top. Yeah, pretty much. So anyway, fun times. Go SB reviews of the week, shall we do that? Oh yeah.

I've got one from Kyle Roars. I was introduced to Ghost Runners after seeing Jake open for Trey Kennedy in Cincinnati. What a fun trickle down that is. Stand up to podcast. That is fun. My wife, then fiance, and I were leaving the venue and saw Jake outside.

At the time, we only knew Jake and Brad from G-Chorts. We stayed around to meet and talk with Jake. While online, someone asked us if we were ghosties. And at the time, had no idea what they were talking about. She mentioned that Jake and Brad from G-Shorts. We stayed around to meet and talk with Jake. While online, someone asked us if we were ghosties. And at the time, had no idea what they were talking about. She mentioned that Jake and Brad had a podcast. We checked it out. The timing couldn't have been better as the podcast I was regularly listening to

concluded right around the same time. Fast forward a year and a half later, and I haven't missed an episode since. Man, that's awesome. Thank you, Kyle. I've loved connecting with other ghosties in the Facebook group, and even joined a dynasty fantasy football league with some of them.

Shout out to Hit It Longtime for Big Daddy. This podcast makes my Mondays and Wednesdays more enjoyable as you never know what the boys will talk about on the pod. I feel like this episode is a good example. We hit the arm services. Let's see what the Spotify breakdown of these chapters. That's a great, yeah, just new addition. Not only the video, but AI generated chapters.

Jake, Brad and Tymon, keep doing what you're doing to use your unique platform for Christ kingdom. That's it chiefs kingdom. Oh, check your heart bro. From Cincinnati. Check your heart bro. I'm surprised he's saying that. Yeah, dude, I.

Chief kingdom, Christ kingdom. Free gift of God from our Lord Jesus chief. It's like, Oh, I mean Christ, sorry. Thank you, Kyle. That's really, really cool. Speaking of Christ kingdom and. Sorry. Thank you Kyle. That's really really cool Speaking of Christ Kingdom and review the month check your heart time Did you see the AI auto-generated chapter on Spotify that had a little language in there?

Yeah, like 130 likes on that comment. Oh, yeah of the world. Yeah. Yeah, that's good comment Yeah, I'm trying to be really, really active on Facebook. Oh, really? With only Ghostrunners. I mean, I'm not posting myself, but I'm in the book group, in the fitness group, and in our own group. Yeah, I'm in all of them. Yeah.

I'm not active though. That's okay. Dang it. It's a stage I'm going through. I, maybe, maybe I don't, I don't know. I don't want to rock the boat too much with the book group. Navy. It all comes back to Navy, doesn't it? I maybe, maybe I don't, I don't, I don't want to rock the boat too much with the book group. Navy.

It all comes back to Navy, doesn't it? I don't want to rock the boat too much with the, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to tip the plane too much. Air Force Navy, maybe Navy. Stop stereotyping, dude. You know, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to mess up the barracks too much with the book group, but I feel like most of the books that people are talking about on there are fiction and I'm more of a nonfiction guy.

So do I change the vibe a little bit by talking more about nonfiction in there or do I just look for the book? I don't think you're rocking the boat. You know, Facebook group. Okay. You know, you post one thing, see if you get any bites. Hey, we got a few other people in here who like this type of book.

Yeah, okay, great. Oh yeah, go for it. Cool. That's fun. I thought I had something else, but I can't remember it. So that's great. Did we do 100 out of 10 recommend from Ally JB? Have we ever done that one?

Doesn't sound familiar. I do a lot of these radio shows every Monday morning. I'm six to eight. Help you get on your work day. Go right ahead. 10, 100 out of 10 recommend five star pod. Love this podcast. I have been listening to it for a couple of them out. How long? How long is a mountain? I have been listening to it for a few oceans now and I can tell Jake and Brad really care about their listeners and wanting to connect it with them it's so encouraging to hear these guys bringing their lives through communities and using their podcasts for good thanks

guys you're welcome I do care about you guys you yes I've been really enjoyed interacting with everyone online well almost everyone. But the book people and the fitness and everyone's like so helpful. It's really great. Good, oh yeah. We're very thankful for all y'all. So thanks for continuing to listen. Thanks for being fans.

We'll just end that in this with something. Would you guys like to end the episode with a jingle that you sing? I would like to end it. Okay, go ahead. Which one? Oh, shout Deterli Matty Deterli. Ghosties Go ghosties tight beat. What's it called? Yeah ghost runs tight beat. Ghosts Riders tight beats. They uploaded a bunch more I listened to him yesterday a bunch. There's there are two albums that I had missed cool So there's one they're like really old ones. We did a really good job. It's like episode 70 or something on

Which one? Like get low. Oh, that one's good too though. I know. I don't even remember doing that. Yeah. I like heard myself back and I was like, wow, I sound way better than I remember myself.

I just, I sound way less white than I'm used to myself sounding like. So maybe he's doing something to my voice. Either way, I was impressed. Yeah. What are you doing to the voice? Yeah, maybe a little reverb, maybe compression a little bit. But yeah, I love listening to that. And then time and every time I listen to that,

I think Equine One is unfortunately gonna end up in my Spotify rap this year. It's so good. Like obviously, it's more just the way you produced and edited it. I just can't get over it. Every time I listen to it, I'm like, how did you mimic it so perfectly?

I notice something new every time. It's really amazing how you It is very perfectly produced. It does make it easy. It's like when you have such a good song and you're just like, I'm just gonna copy the things that he did. But it makes it easier for it to sound good. What software did he use? A lot. I would have recorded it in GarageBand and then like done some fine-tuning like Logic. That's impressive though. Because I mean, there's a lot of effects that go into mimicking that specific song.

Yeah, I guess so. Thanks. Great. Yeah. I did. I did really enjoy like, listening to some of those old ones like you really got in on the jingles back in the day. Like you were running like y'all sing that part. Like the song bar has been raised. The song sure that is like a sure. Yeah, I listen to that one. Like you like saying one of the chorus. I mean, down to try but in this room, it feels like I should not do that as much. A lot of compliments about frozen heart, too

Yeah, that's fun. Cuz I was like, I don't know I don't have anything else to start with so why not you never know what the boys are gonna do. That's right All right. So this one's from Maddie Deterlie. It is a It's a third third time parodying this song, but it's good enough and I think Steve Triplett likes it every time I've never gotten confirmation or denial from Steve. I'm sure he likes it. This one's a little story about Jake and I and something that happened to us recently. Here we go. Not true.
