you guys are good oh it's fun we're having fun here we're having fun We're having fun here. We're having fun. We're having fun. Today should be a fun episode. We got a little more energy in the room. You can't see them.

It's like time and for the first 100 episodes, but you know, trust us. There's other people here. I think, yeah, we mentioned this last week, but Ghostie Nathan Coley is creating, QE LIE. QE LIE. Making a documentary about the Ghostbusters podcast and he and his crew are here in our house right now and have been for the past two days.

Clap as loud as you guys want right now. They wanted to clap decently loud. Decently loud. So thanks for that. Those are their claps. Thanks for your desires to clap loud. Yeah, they're like, I walked in today. I was like, my second family's here.

Yeah, I know. It's gonna be weird not seeing them tomorrow. Yeah. We're in a good rhythm. Yeah, so I think on Wednesday we'll have Nathan and maybe the rest of the crew on for a little schmores. Little schmores. It'll be fun.

So yeah. This is the most in a very long time that you and I have like talked talked and spent time with each other leading up to a podcast. Yes. I'm bone dry. That's like, what do you want? Let's just tell each other stories

we've already told each other. It's like, hey, tell that one story you said. Mm-hmm, and then I'll pretend that you haven't heard it, then when you tell me your story, I'll fake laugh. See if you can tell if we're fake laughing or real laughing at these stories. Well, luckily, I didn't have a ton go on this week anyway. But yeah, I mean, Brad and I, I mean, we recorded two and a half hours, three hours worth of interviews yesterday for the documentary. We

did more stuff on Tuesday. And also a couple nights ago, you had me over, we did a little bonfire on your back porch. Yeah. No one else showed up for about 45 minutes. So we basically podcasted for free. It was like, what do we talk about here? We're not getting paid for this I'm supposed to just be Jake's friend for free. Oh somebody else show up. So what do you think about? Catch the game NFL free agency is crazy, huh any of them Sam Darnold's worth it. I don't know. I did text My in-laws Steve and Tim Coop. I was like, we let Donald go.

We believe in JJ. Okay. I feel like you got to believe in JJ. Yeah. You got to go with the rookie. Yeah. If you got him, you got to use them. See what happens there.

But that's been bonfire talk. Yeah. Documentary was fun yesterday though. Interviewing with that. Yeah. Just did it right here in my house. Yeah. Oh yeah.

And yeah, I don't know. They just asked us lots of lots of questions about all sorts of different things. It my house. Yeah, oh yeah. And yeah, I don't know, they just asked us lots of questions about all sorts of different things. It was interesting. I wanna know, well, we can ask Nathan more about it when he's on the podcast, but we did a pre-interview a couple weeks ago where he basically asked us, I don't know,

half the questions already. And so I wonder if that's like, hey, for this class assignment, you have to do a pre-interview, or if he's like, I just wanna do it, you know what I mean? I'm guessing that's part of it. I would assume so. No, it's not.

He's just professional. He's just like, I read JJ Abrams always did a pre-interview. So, that's all I know. Yeah, good job. Spielberg did a pre-interview. For Jaws. For Jaws. Yeah, round up as many sharks as he could. Want to get to know him.

Anyway, but yeah, the documentary has been, it's been cool. It's been like they're, they're taking it seriously. Like they're shooting right now. Like Barstool over here is holding the gimbal, 20 pound gimbal. He's been holding it for an hour. How many smooth shots do you need of us talking? I tell you what, the pecs are just blasted. We went out and played pickleball with them and

Gavin originally had a shirt on said dog pound Easy nickname. Yeah. Yeah a lot of barking. Uh-huh didn't find out he's like interviewing with Barstool sports new nickname Yeah, yeah, and now he's gonna be gimbal gimbal guy gimbal guy. Yeah, G squared. He'll get a beast duel Yeah, yeah, but it was funny. Like during the documentary filming, I mean, they're so like particular about the sound that every time like a loud truck would drive by, they'd be like, oh, we should pause for this.

They would make us start over. We would start the whole, yeah. There was one time we were two and a half hours in and they're like, we gotta do the whole thing over again. Yeah, it was trash day, so. Yeah, that's the thing is it was trash day and recycling day and beat half hours in, they're like, we gotta do the whole thing over again. Yeah, it was trash day, so. Yeah, that's the thing, it was trash day and recycling day and like the way, like where we live, there's not just like one company that does it.

And so there was like four different times where the trucks were coming by on one side of the street and another, maybe it was eight times, so I was like, all right, we gotta pause here. We also saw, in addition to how much we've already been hanging out, we also saw each other on a walk yesterday.

I was so mad. I was like, get this guy out of my life. I was like, I would love to just talk to Rachel. I just didn't even look at you. I was so tired. I took the stroller and I just took the kids. I was like, you guys talk. Yeah, I'll see Henry and yeah.

No, but while we were walking, there was a machine, because as Rachel and I were walking, we're like, why is the street so wet? Not bothered by it, but I'd like to know. Why is my street wet? And to be clear, it had not rained. Good point. I mean, I bet some people are like,

it's from the sky, you dingus. And then we see this machine, I don't know, looks like a tractor that's just there to just water houses. Whatever. They're just there to just water houses. Whatever. They're just spraying water. It's that guy. This guy's in cahoots with the roof guy. It's like we do have a leak in our roof.

Throw a little water damage. Yeah. Which by the way, I know they love it when we talk local weather. Have you seen they're like, I've never seen like the news. I'm so up to date with the news because they have it on my workout. So maybe this is common, but they are like warning us two days in advance, like tornadoes coming. I think normally you have like a 30 minute heads up,

there's tornadoes. This time they're like, everyone take shelter, grab onto something heavy. Yeah. Tornadoes coming. Get some anvils in your house now. Yeah, just wrap your legs around them. That's what Luke said on the news last night.

Oh really? So it's coming. I'm hoping to get maybe more shingles taken off and then we can go through this process again. Hey, but maybe that would make it easier on the news last night. Oh really? So it's coming, I'm hoping to get maybe more shingles taken off and then we can go through this process again. And you know. But maybe that would make it easier on the insurance. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah.

Yeah, that $8,000 deductible I somehow have. No problem. It's fun. That's just details. But okay, but yeah, the people were shooting water out on the sod. Yeah. Yeah. So that's another machine driving by.

But yeah, the documentary is fun. It's been a good week. I, I'm back in, I'm back in the doctor's office to go to updates. One dermatology called me back. Hello. It's me dermatologist about my, my lesions. Yeah. I was just calling you by your lesions. And you said, hang loose brother said no worries bro. No worries. No, but I guess they, they don't, they don't like what they're seeing in the two they took out.

That's no fun. So I got to come back in. I don't have melanoma or anything crazy, but I don't even remember what they said. It was first thing in the morning. And so this lady is like, we got to do this. And it's like technically surgery. They got to just, I, I'm first thing is like a scoop.

I think they're going to take an ice cream scoop and heat it up and just, I don't know. Go to town. One or two scoops. Yeah. And like it, love it, got to scoop it. God. What size do you want?

Here's the bummer. Sorry, what if a dermatologist treated itself like Cold Stone? Like you tip them, they're like, dang it. All right, here we go. Uh, they started doing that. Yeah. Different sizes or even just different like pain tolerances. All right. Hurts it kind of hurts it. Don't want to feel it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be fun. Got to numb it. Got to numb it.

Um, so because it's surgery, I guess they're gonna suture me up. We learned that word after my basketball injury. Great word. They said no physical activity for at least 10 days. Whoa. After. You're like, I am Mr. Physical activity. Said I really like my physical activity now. They said no heavy lifting, no cardio.

I said, that's all I do. And so I said, well, it's gonna be rough. Sorry, what does that leave? No heavy lifting, no cardio. Yeah, what, walking? Yeah, walking slowly. Walking slowly. Like cardio, walking is considered cardio.

If you're walking hard. I don't know what I can do. So the real bummer is they said this, so I was like, all right, well, let's do it like, you know, I'll just take you through the whole thing. I go, all right, when are you next available? She goes September 2nd. I go, whoa, you guys are busy.

What? She goes, oh, sorry, April 2nd. I was like, oh, I was gonna say, yeah, y'all are the busiest dermatology place. And she's like, oh no, we are, we are, we are not busy. We are actually struggling. Yeah. This is not cancerous or even like really needing

to be looked at. We're just trying to, yeah. Money, gotta have it. But I thought it was odd. I was like, she's going on and on again about how unbusy they are. And the earliest she can get me in is April 2nd. All good.

But then I learned why. This surgeon only works on Wednesdays. And I kid you not, only does one scoop per day. What? So I can't get them done at the same time. So now I got 20 days of no physical activity because I got two scoops, two moles to be removed. Oh.

So I told Rachel, she's like, how do I get that job? One surgery per day? Do you think that's like his only place he does it or you think he like travels to different offices? It's a woman, you. Don you think that's like his only place he does it? Or do you think he like travels to different? It's a woman. You don't say that word. It's a bad word. I think so. Stop saying. I'm not even being funny. Is that a bad word? All right. There's six other people in the room. They say no, no, Nathan. Nathan's got red face and going, I don't know. So I don't know. Really? Nathan's got red face going. I kind of thought so.

I don't know. Really? I don't, I don't say it a lot. Well, I could, I could be wrong. I just didn't know it was a better word. I feel like I heard teachers say that word. Really? Yeah.

Like in high school. British. Oh, it's bad if you're British. It's like the B word in British. B word in British. Where were you born and raised? Dorchester. Cambridge for race. Cambridge till I die. All right.

You know what? I'm glad I said it. Sexist. You prefer that term? Yes. That, that I can hear all day. That I need to bring it. Yeah. Hey, she only works one day a week. Yeah, and that's what I was trying to figure out. I was like, is this her rule or is this just the way dermatology works? Cause maybe I'll go to someone else. Is this her rule

or does she work in a lot of rural communities? Yeah. So I don't know. So I'm trying to figure all this out. Cause like I said, she called me first thing in the morning. They're like, there's the front desk person. And so I'm going to make sure I like heard all this right. And so I go to like, you know, some type of portal.

I don't know. I'm in some chat room. And some website, you know, I don't know any of this. I'm turning into that husband is like, do you got to talk to my wife about that stuff? I don't know. Blue cross, blue shirt. I don't know what color it is.

But there's a finite amount of answers you can like start to chat with. And so I click lab results. That's exactly what I want. Like, I don't know how serious is this? 20 days of no activity? What are we talking? Yeah.

Like, and I know everyone's like, Jake, get rid of the potential cancer. Just not play pickleball for a week and a half. I don't know. I'm on my grind. You are. I'm on my grizzly. Don't say that. So I say lab results. Olivia says Jacob. I assume that's the tone because there's a hyphen after with Jacob. Now, now, Jacob, now, Jakey. Yeah. Are you looking for your pathology report? I guess I say yes. Good. Then the next morning we do one every day. That's the whole thing. And I'm thinking about they do one action per day. I need to do surgery or message.

I say yes. She says good morning. It looks like our staff already spoke with you on Monday about your pathology results. Are you looking for a copy of the report? I say, I can't remember everything. Yes. She's, then today, Jacob. Jacob. Jakeypoo. Jakeypop.

JTrain. It is posted to the patient portal. You should be able to log on and see it. And I said, can you just send me a link or just can I just get a PDF of the results? So tomorrow that was today. So tomorrow I will get a response back. You're not on the patient portal. I don't know what that is.

You can't do it. What's the certain words? There's certain words that like never heard of. If you're not a corporate guy, we don't use those words People out there are like well, it's in the portal and it's like hey, we don't have real jobs. We don't use portals How do I get there? Stop saying you're gonna ping me. I don't ping I don't pay we don't ping. We don't slack. We don't portal. We don't run the we're not in the portal Yeah, it's like it's like those words are so normal to those people. Oh, yeah

Yeah, like just check out like it's in the portal. It should be there and it's like no We don't we don't know that word is so intimidating to us. Yes. I'll CC you by EOW No, you won't if they don't know what the if you're talking about If they just said if they just said it's in your account online You and I would be like great. Let's go a little account portal sounds so much harder to get to portal portal that war portal We had a stepped in a portal last night. I got my I got my boots wet. Yeah, we had a portal at SBU

That's the last time I remember using a portal dude, and it wasn't great We had a portal at SBU. That's the last time I remember using a portal. Dude. And it wasn't great. K-State, this is so funny. K-State's online portal name was ISIS. Not joking. ISIS.K-State.

And you won't let me say the P word. I'm just saying. It was like, I don't know, the I-S-I-S. Al-Qaeda was taken. But everyone was like, yeah, you just got to log on to ISIS and you can change your change. Yes, dude. I'm dead serious. It was like, yeah, you just got to log on to ISIS and you can change your change. Yes, dude. I'm dead serious. Like it was like, yeah, you just change your, you could change your class schedule on ISIS.

Like you can. What else can he do on there? You want to get radical? Yeah. I wonder if it's still ISIS. Surely not. What was the acronym? K-State is nowhere to be found in ISIS.

I don't know if it was like one of those things where it's like. Interstate. It's in the middle of state. Interstate. You know, K-State is nowhere to be found in ISIS. I don't know if it was like one of those things where it's like- Interstate, it's in the middle of the state. Interstate. You know, K-State pays ISIS. Like maybe there are a bunch of people using ISIS. And maybe it's not even right of me to assume it's a different ISIS. For all we know, they're running it.

Good for you. Yeah, they do a lot of military and- Hey, you get on to me for being sexist, you're racist. Why couldn't ISIS do that? Huh? Yeah, I guess that's racism. I don't know. No, I need it. I needed to hear that. Yes. I'm racist towards ISIS. Yeah. Racist. Racist. ISIS. We were talking. We were talking al-Qaeda yesterday with the kiddos. Um, you know, I learned that old gimbal gab was born in 04 and I go, so no nine 11 for any of you guys. Yeah. They They said no. You don't know what that feels like.

Yeah, you don't know me. What's like the biggest tragedy in your guys' lives? COVID. COVID'll do it. COVID and ISIS probably. She said it quick. Yeah. Little update, I looked it up as KSIS is what I'm seeing.

KSIS is what it is now, KSIS. So maybe they changed it. Good for them. They're a little close to KSIS. That's probably why they didn't initially say that. Thank you for looking that up. Did you look, did you find that it said ISIS ever? Maybe be careful with what you search on.

I just looked up ISIS portal and then I was like, I should add a case. ISIS portal. ISIS portal. Yeah. You're like, I subscribed to ISIS on Patreon. Like, that's great. Yeah. Anyway, so anyway, so sometime in April, getting the scoops out.

Man, OK. But also, I'm going on a family vacation in April. There's no way, if you can't do a physical activity, they're going to love you getting it wet. I don't think so. It seems like open, wound, and wet. Should you just, well, I don't know. Is it one of those things where you're like, hey,

how serious is this? Can I postpone it? So that's what I did a little bit. Not with the Derm ladies, but I had my first doctor's visit since I was 18 this past Tuesday. It was very fun. I was talking to my dad on the way over there

and he goes, well, you did better than I did. I made it 18 to 50. I go, oh my gosh. Hey, yeah. That's amazing. What was 18? Why were you doing an 18? Just like a high school basketball, like physical.

You know, like saw, you know, I haven't done a checkup or physical since high school. And so yeah, it was fun. I came prepared, you know, kind of like a 20 questions thing. All 20 of them were, is this normal? And then just a different spot on my body that I would point to. Credit to this guy, Jordan though,

he's a young guy, I really liked him. I mean, I'm rattling off some like weird stuff I got going on. I don't know I'm rattling off some like weird stuff. I got going on I don't know if I've ever talked about some podcast when I do sit-ups With like my legs off the ground like any kind of V up or yeah, whatever. There is like a it looks like two tectonic plates Merging together. I'm not joking between my abs. There is like a there is a Valley a mountain that forms so my skin goes up. Yes, like in right in here. Okay.

Been like that forever. Never heard or anything. That's what the V up is. Yeah, that's the V up. Yeah, I make it V. And so I asked him about that. I wasn't even done bringing it up. He was like, oh, erectus, he porno.

He like knew exactly what it was. I was like, dude, Latin out of the gate. It's like, you're incredible. Do you think there's ever like secret shoppers version for doctor's offices where you don't really have all those issues? I'm quizzing him. You're just like, OK, very good. He knew that one.

Very good. Brett, Brett, dispoint us. You know, good job. But yeah, he knew exactly what it was. And then once he started explaining to me, there's something in like certain people's abs. I should look it up. They split or something or they're off center and they create this continental drift.

It's a lot like Pangea. Yeah, it sounds like it. Yeah, so you find fossils on both sides. How does that make sense? And he said, it's great. He said, if you're worried about it cosmetically, you can get plastic surgery. I said, I'm good.

I think no one's ever seen it. No one knows it's there. And it's not like if you just were shirtless, you would see it only if you like flex in a certain way. I have to be shirtless on the ground with my like feet off the ground. So you could probably control when you do that. I so far I've been able to. Yeah. I'm terrified to have my shirt off. And then there's like a some beach body contest.

You know, I got to do it. Come on, Jake, do the V-ups. Wait, has that always been there? Or is this like- Since I was like in high school, I remember it being there. So no problem. Oh, but he said that that is literally like my intestines though, coming up.

Whoa. But it's no problem. Okay. He says, Jordan says, Jordan, Jordan said, yeah. Okay. You call him Dr. Jordan? I don't even know his last name. Just Jordan. Rachel and I watched meet the parents a couple nights ago kind of fun and good joke in there where he's like Hey, it's kind of a dad joke, but still good. He was like, this is a dr. You know Johnson

He goes, please call me Bob MD Anyway, dr. Joke Asked him about the off off-center Adams Apple. Okay. He said I'll feel around Yeah, get in there have your way Asked him a bunch of stuff, but he was great But as we got more and more comfortable and he seemed oh I asked him if I could x-rays a pickleball paddles with him I was getting real comfy and

Then I was like, alright, let me ask you this and I asked him I was like gave him the whole rundown of my moles and everything. I was like, give me like a risk assessment of like, here's where they're at. And he was like, yeah, it's not as black and white as they seem, he was like, you could probably. He's like, officially, no, you're not supposed to. But he's like, you could probably,

you probably do some stuff. It was nice to hear that. Like you can do some physical activity. Yeah, he was like, he was like, even like worst case scenario, he's like, they're worried about anything you're worried about is mainly cosmetic. It's like, yes, a stitch could like a suture could pop out, but even then they're not going to redo it. It's just going to take slightly longer to heal slightly bigger scar. I see lower back bring it on boys wanted to tramp stamp anyway. Yeah, you want the scars. Yeah, on the scar. Yeah Chicks dig the scar. Yeah. Yeah. Scar. I

mean, great. What the best characters and like, yeah, I got a whole movie. Okay. So yeah. Um, so I've been a doctor boy this week. Oh, and he also asked me, uh, when he was last tennis shot, I said long enough. I don't know what it's been, but I guarantee you it's been like, I got worked on some rusty, uh, generators recently. So Shoot me up So got a little tetanus and I'm feeling great. Good you I could tell you got tetanus that one day. Thank you

It was like something different about this guy's glowing tetanized. Good job. I Went to Texas this past weekend with my family. It was a great time. We were down there celebrating the kids birthdays and good on Bo. I don't know how it would be for three of your siblings to have birthdays and there's their opening presents and you're watching them, but he did a good job of just like being excited for them, which, you know, like there's some parents out there like, well, we always get one present for each of the kids. When it's other sibling's birthdays. I'm like, that's ridiculous. Not in this house. No, not even close.

But he did a good job with that. Kind of the highlight of the trip for me was we get there Thursday night. All day Friday, we were working on building a tree house type fort for the kids. My father-in-law had bought all this lumber, had all these plans for it. We didn't like literally build it in the tree because trees grow and I don't know how treehouse,

how do you build a treehouse and not have it fall apart on you eventually because trees are gonna expand, right? I think I have a dumb question to ask. Does a tree Please. Grow from the bottom? Meaning? Or from the top? No, the branches grow.

It doesn't grow, the stump doesn't grow. It starts with a stump. I think both, right? No, yeah, it grows outward too. It grows everywhere, baby. That's the beauty of trees. It's like skin. Yeah, I think it's growing down.

It's growing up. It does grow down, you're right, yeah. It's growing wide. Is there any other option? Growing out? Right? People? Oh. It's a horticulture person. It does not grow from the bottom. down you're right yeah wide are is there any other option growing out right people you know horticulture bring it in here come on in here come on down unless you don't want to unless you don't want to uh she's getting red she's getting red. She's getting embarrassed. You don't have to just tell us that

No, you oh tons. We have we've been waiting to get a horticulturist on this podcast. Let me pull up my horticulture question Yeah, no, come on in come on in Okay, but it grows They grow through typical dominance? What'd you say? Apical dominance. So they are growing from all the tips of the branches. OK, so my gut knew it. But does it not, the roots get bigger in time?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the roots only have apical dominance at the tips of the roots, so that's how they grow down. And then the tree gets wider because of the cambium layer. I don't know if you're gonna know that. This is great! No! Yeah. I'm writing down all these answers because I've had these for a while. So like the rings on the tree, that's like their vascular system. So that's how the tree gets wider because their vascular system grows. So they do grow like in width, but they grow from the top. Okay. Do humans grow with typical dominance?

Apical. apical dominance He's not a human culturist What's a plant can we ask you more questions? All right, you got to get on in here though All right, what's what's a plant that most people overlook, but is pretty cool? Ooh. That they overlook? I guess a money tree.

That's my favorite. Is that a joke or is that a real tree? No, it's a real tree. It doesn't grow money, but it has like, it's like lucky, and if you like have it, I think the saying is like, if you have a money tree, like you will be wealthy. Or it'll like, positive manifestation. Yeah, it's a cute tree, yeah.

What does it grow? It, it doesn't, yeah, leaves, I mean, I think it flowers, maybe. Okay, do plants go extinct like animals do um Is there a dodo bird of the plant world? Yeah, I don't know exactly which species, but they could yeah, it's kind of fun. Yeah My wife, and I are thinking about starting starting a garden. I know that's botany Permission to ask?

Is it different? No, it's horticulture. Horticulture is like the cultivation and growing. I don't know what you're saying. Brad, it sounds like maybe you would like to answer some gardening questions. Also, is that botany? Botany is like a very broad term of everything.

I covered my bases. Yeah. I covered my bases. Yeah. What plants out there have medicinal uses that most people don't know about? Ooh, I guess this isn't medicinal, but do you know the magnolia tree? Tymon was actually talking about it

just a couple weeks ago. Yeah, good medicine? You can, the flowers apparently are delicious. Oh, they taste good. Oh cool. Yeah I didn't know that until like a couple weeks ago but someone in my class was like oh yeah I love to eat them. I was like hmm. Like they're fine to eat? Yeah. They don't just taste. Magnolia tree species. Sorry most magnolia tree species I think most of the flowers are like really like tender and delicious. Tender. Medium rare. like tannins inside of them.

Okay, braggart. It's getting, it's giving hot energy outside. Okay. However, I still want to give you permission. Stay cozy, my friend. Oh, you're talking about Good Ranchers nuggets in the air fryer. Mm-hmm, that's right.

Can we just like curl up, you know, on the couch and have some Good Ranchers nuggets? Should we do Good Rancher right now? I thought that's where you're going with it. I had my first batch of their chicky chicky nug nugs. So good. Yeah. They're free of seed oils and free of, free of guilt, free of complaints and free. Yeah. A ton of criticism. I'm sorry. I'm, I'm, I'm, no, that was better than what it's giving synergy. Yeah, dog. But yeah, we made some of the air fryer and, uh, it's giving. Synergy. Yeah, dog. Yeah, we made some of the air fryer and it was perfect.

Yeah, like I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do anything different. And I didn't even have I didn't have sauce. One healthy boy. Two don't need it. Yes, it's so good. Just straight nugget. This was actually the conversation that Rachel and I had because I ran out of my meals that I've been eating, didn't plan ahead to thaw out chicken. And I was like, I think I'm just going to run to Chick-fil-A

and just grab some grilled nuggets. And Rachel was like, honestly, the Good Ranchers, even though they're like fried, those are still healthier for you than grilled nuggets from Chick-fil-A. Because there's no seed oils. Exactly. Yes.

Chick-fil-A, they know the way around some seed. Oh yeah. Yeah, they're like Amish Mennonites. That's right. It's for everybody. Spreading the seed everywhere. And I mean that in a good way. In a good way for Mennonites, but a bad way for the chicken.

Yes. Yeah. And so yeah, that was our actual conversation and yeah, absolutely loved it. Took down about nine of them and had a good time. Smiled on my face. Couldn't even chew. I was smiling so big. Oh yeah.

Scott just texted us, thoroughly enjoyed Brad's Cobell impression. I need to be on my do not disturb, I'm so sorry. It's not professional, I mean, but yeah, we built this fort and it was classic, like, you know, my father-in-law, it's just how every project ever goes like this. Like he was really good at like, Hey, no one, no one's opinion is better than anybody else's.

Like we can all listen to each other. Like, like if you have other thoughts about how to do this, we can. And of course in my head, I'm like, maybe there's times where I'm like, I don't know if I would do that, but I'm not going to be like, you know, the squeaky wheel kind of thing. You're not a horticultural major. I'm not. But there was, it was just a classic, like we have a plan, we'll stick to the plan.

And then we accidentally screw up the plan. And then we got to just like adjust. And so it's like, why even have a plan? And then there's like a life lesson in there of just like, stop, stop trying to plan things too much because it's never gonna go the way you plan. Grip it, rip it, treehouse it. Yeah.

Yeah. Build it. Drip it. So yeah, it was just one of those. It was great. Originally, we were going to have two different levels. We ended up with three. Wow.

Yeah, just on accident because it was like, well, we can either adjust all these things or we can just make that part a little bit lower. So you built a city treehouse, like a fort on the ground. But it's like a permanent structure or was this just for that week? Yeah ground, but it's like a permanent structure or was this just for that week? Yeah, no, it's for a permit structure. We use a like quick setting cement and like, put the posts in and everything.

Oh, wow. You did a lot of project. And I that's something I'm not familiar with. I mean, I've done a little bit of fence post things, but like, yeah, it was like a, I think we were working for like 10 hours. Did you water the cement afterwards? I noticed a neighbor Dennis does that. Yeah, it was like a, I think we were working for like 10 hours. Did you water the cement afterwards? Uh, I noticed a neighbor, Dennis does that.

He'll get out the hose and just, I mean, it looks like a psycho. He's just watering his driveway. Yeah. What did he call that? He said, like I asked him and he's like, yeah, if you do this, it'll last twice as long. Yeah. That's what I Googled it too. Cause I was like, I need to call someone.

My neighbor is going insane. But then I looked it up and yeah, it's called like ceiling maybe. Or could be. Yeah. Um, but yeah, we did a little bit of that Curing it's called curing. Yeah, you're in the concrete, right? Here to flood Dr. Jordan, it's got a fever

Anyway, so yeah, the kids loved it It's still not perfect. It's not done completely but it was done enough for them to just run around on it. And it kind of like, it's like an L-shaped fort and there's like a huge sand pit pile. Like, and so like the tallest part of the fort, they could jump from there into the sand. Now that's fun. Pretty fun.

Any cats on the property? They do have a cat. It's going to use it as its litter box. Could be. There's a, there's, there's plenty of spots for their little that little little cat little. Portal. Anyway, it was fun. It's always fun to be down there.

And that's sweet that you built that. Yeah. And it was like a fun like there were times where it was like, I'm not an expert by any means, I didn't get this stuff, but obviously I have more experience at woodworking than they do. And so it was like, Oh, we need this notch. It's kind of a tough thing to do. Brad, will you do it?

It's kind of fun to be like the quote unquote, like expert at something. Yeah, the guy compared. Yeah. Okay. We got it kind of measured out, but Brad, do you mind actually like cutting it? Cause we're, you know, I could do it, but you could probably do it better. It's like, yeah, bring them in. It's like the closer, like, come on, Gagnier get in there. Yeah. So John rocker. Yeah, exactly. So it was fun. Uh, nothing too crazy. Uh, the, the highlight of Texas though, along with just being down there is Catherine's brother, oldest brother Brooks, who's been the chef for the beach trips in the past, just recently invest, no, absorbed, whatever. Yeah. Bought a business from somebody. And when he was first starting out, he was like, yeah, it's like a pest or

rodent control business for like all these commercial places, golf courses, different places like that. And the more he got into it, the more he learned about it. He learned that like 90% of what he's catching is beavers. It's like, it's like, yeah, it's pretty much all beavers. And so while we were there, we saw like, he like brought, cause he, it's like catch them and then humanely release these beavers is like the whole idea of the business. And while we were there, he, we saw like five different beavers is like the whole idea of the business. And while we were there,

we saw like five different beavers that he brought home. Where do you hold a beaver? Like in a cage, is that what you mean? Oh, yeah, duh. I was like, how do you? Like you just had, like you got one. They must have like specialized like seat belts for those beavers or how did you get them?

The cage makes sense. Okay, so you saw cage beavers. Cage beavers, except there was also one beaver. I think he literally got this beaver when it was like a day or two old, like a tiny baby beaver. And so he was literally, he like went and bought a tiny little bottle for it and got like beaver, like formula milk kind of stuff.

And was like feeding it out of this bottle. And so all the kids were able to like pet and hold biscuit. And I mean, it was like, it was like the talk of the town for all. And like, you know, it was amazing within like the three days we were there, we saw biscuit grow to the point where like biscuit was like, like he was like, take giving biscuit a bath. Cause you know, the beavers are like part, they're not amphibious or whatever. Like, but they had like, they like the water. Yeah. They love the water. They have like web feet, like a duck almost or something.

And so yeah, he's like giving them a bath and biscuits like diving into the bath and stuff. Pretty fun. Rosie couldn't get enough of it. Every time she saw uncle Brooks, go look at the beaver, go look at the beaver. And beavers are nocturnal. So it wasn't like you could just go in there.

How are they? I'm learning things about beavers. Anyway, just, it was really fun. It was a, it was a beaver filled trip and every single kid's gift was beaver themed. So like Henry got a stuff. I'll say you've taken to Bucky's and have a hay day. I know exactly. It was like, we can go right down the road to Bucky's. And anyway, it was awesome. And so saw, saw adult beavers, baby beavers. Angry beavers. It was awesome. So yeah, wildlife in Texas. Beaver themed weekend.

That's really fun. Yeah, it was great. That's a fun memory for everybody. Tymon. Hey. Hey, Tymon. What's up? Last week we asked what was up

and you said, I'm locking in. Oh yeah. That's right. And any updates on that? I've been not as strict as I was planning, but I'm not mad about it. I think I've just I've been doing better at like Making myself wake up early because I think the problem was I would I would happily set an alarm for 7 a.m But then I'd be like well I'm not going anywhere and then I just like sleep till 830 and I was like this is not how I want to do it

So preach it brother. I've just been doing better at like committing. Are you doing, are you still going 7 AM or are you like, let's meet in the middle at 7th, like, are you, I start with six. I've just been just earlier. I don't know. It's yeah. 6 37 15, just like, especially if I have something going on in like the morning ish, I like to go to the gym first. Like, yeah, yeah. Not this morning, but yeah. That's great. And having other people in the room, I assume Jesse's still asleep.

Oh yeah, every time. Yeah. So that has helped me since being married. Like I wake up to my alarm better because of the people pleaser just not wanting to like annoy the person next to me. I'm so much better with my alarm with someone next to me.

Kind of you to assume I don't want to annoy Jesse annoy Jesse. I honestly wish I cared more. But yes, I that's true. Like to an extent for me. But he also is like the deepest sleeper. I know. I don't know if he would even wake up. But that's a good call. Logic broken. But I feel like we've locked in a little bit with the content I've seen. We, um, right. You know this a little bit, but we, we shot a severance themed pickleball video right in here and finished it. I mean, wrapped it 60 seconds before, before the whole documentary crew got here. It looks amazing. You edited it that day. You sent it off to me. I sent it to Scott and Isaac. Scott called me and he was like, dude, you cannot text someone back after a video like that. It would not suffice. They don't have words in the texting

dictionary to compliment someone after what I just saw in the texting dictionary. Something like that. I mean, he was just so excited. Are we submitting that to Sundance, dude? Are we going to con with that thing? He was like, we can't wait till Friday to post that. Can we post it right now? I'm so ready for the world to see this. So it's always fun to read that excited about a video and time and killed it with the lighting. And yeah, I got Rachel's Rachel's voice in there as Miss Casey, did a little wellness session.

And so good job blocking in there. Thanks. And then the second thing, I'm so curious. I want to hear some updates. I don't know if you know this, Brad. So yesterday while we were shooting our documentary, Tyman, Scott and Isaac had a whole like day long road trip together. That's right, yeah.

Went up to Omaha and back to shoot with some pro pickleball players. Seemed really fun. How was it? A whole like day long road trip together. That's right. Yeah. Went up to Omaha and back to shoot with some pro pickleball players. Seemed really fun. Yeah. How was it? Who could? Yeah. How was it?

It was great. It was a lot of fun. I, I'm trying to, I tried to write down a couple things. Um, okay. Podcaster. Actually, I just don't run that door down one thing, which is kind of a dumb story, but it was like, we were probably 30 minutes into the drive, maybe, maybe, maybe like an hour, we were like in Nebraska. And then suddenly like, we're just driving along, no one's saying anything. Scott's like,

someone farted or is that just Nebraska? And then Isaac's like over there, he kind of like rolls his eyes away and he's like, I think it's just Nebraska. That's just a great, that's weird. Yeah. I'm going to roll it down so I can smell it more. Yeah. That was kind of like And then I became like a running thing like I was just gassy that day. I think Isaac's gassy a lot true Yeah, you you're around him more than I am these days. Yeah. Yeah, and when he's gassy, you know it. Yeah Yeah, got the Nebraska, but yeah filming went great. It was fun like I think having so much time like film with filming with you there

and like seeing how like you think about stuff helped us out a lot. And like, Oh, great. Yeah. It worked out fine. That's cool. We missed you, but sure. It went, it went okay. Um, I have questions, uh, just about the logistics of it. First of all, who was driving and who was controlling the music or where's the, where's the, where's their music? It was Scott driving and also Scott control the music. What'd you listen to? A lot of EDM. But it was fine.

It was like, I think most of the way there, there was conversation throughout it. And so it was like pretty low. And then a couple of times on the way back, we were like, Scott's like, oh, this one's great. Let's crank this up. But actually we switched to like some less EDM. We were like listening to some Charlie Puth on the way back. It was, it was great. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. Is that like, if it's me, like I, I might love EDM, but I'm not playing EDM in mixed company with people and just being

like, well, they're, they'll love it there. And if they don't, they'll just have to listen to it. And just like EDM feels like, uh, the last five minutes of your drive to pump you up to like, well, they're they'll love it there. And if they don't, they'll just have to listen to it. And just like EDM feels like the last five minutes of your drive to pump you up to like, maybe your big pickleball game. Yeah. You're to stretch over the course of three hours. You're not driving three over on the highway with EDM. Like, yeah, you're you're yeah, you got to get pumped.

Like this is like a this is like a mood setting music. It you're yeah, just more more relaxed. Like you can't just have like a, Hey, tell me your testimony. Yeah. The mood is 2 AM. There were a few good ones though. I didn't, there were some, I was like, this is kind of like, I could appreciate this. Do you remember what it sounded like? Or did it sound like every other one, but just a little different, just slightly different. Yeah. Yep. sound like every other one, but just a little different, just slightly different. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Yeah. So were you in the back both times? I was, yeah. I was like, I know my place, my place. No, yeah, it was great. I also like worked on a little bit of editing, kind of like Friday voiceover ad thing. So locked in. It was nice. Yeah. And so I'm in this group

chat with all of them. They all have all these inside jokes now. Are there any, but Isaac claims, I said, can Tyman tell me this on the podcast? And he said, no. Whoa, okay. Is it because it's like weird or gross or like? It's just like, the one we're talking about is just that video he sent, which is like,

did you watch that? Oh, okay, okay, it's about that. Cause I, yeah, I was like, we went to the quick trip, like first thing and I was like, yeah, I'll get something. And so I grabbed a white monster. Cause I'm, I like, I'm kind of on the kick of white monsters and Isaac was just like giggling the whole time. I was like, what, what's so he's like, I can't, you actually can go white monsters.

Like, yeah. And then he showed this video after I was like, Oh, that's why it was so funny. But I say, yeah, yeah. Isaac being gassy. You guys know about white monsters Me neither. Okay, just making sure it wasn't like everyone knows about white monster. We all know of us. Yeah, okay, yeah guys heads Just excited for you guys got to have your own little road trip

Yeah shot a lot of videos and so you you met with some professionals. Is that correct? Yeah, Zane Callister go Go ahead. I actually saw him yesterday. Or no, Tuesday. Wow, back to back Zane days. Yeah. What's Zane's last name? Navratil.

Gotcha. He's a pro player, one of the best in the world, but also cares quite a bit about content creation. And it's doing creative videos on YouTube as well. He was fun to watch. Like to watch play. He was really good. Really? Yeah. like way better than Scott

Uh, I think so. I mean, yeah I I'm not good at like seeing the huge differences, but definitely better and also just like more Maybe like he just had all these like clever shots. He was he would hit I was like that's how do you think of how? Do you think of that? Oh, okay. I think that was one thing he said to he's like, I've never played anyone like saying it was wild Unbelievable. Yeah I just got something real quick written down Who is Jimmy Buffett? Yeah? He's the guy that created the all-you-can-eat like restaurant. Oh Ryan's Ryan's Jimmy's and they Ryan bought it from them. Yeah, yeah, so our

Garage fridge that the previous homeowner left, they also left behind a good barrage of bumper stickers, just stickers. And every time I go to that fridge, it says, WWJBD, what would Jimmy Buffett do? I'm sick of looking at it. And I also don't even know who that is. You really don't?

I mean, you know what I know is, isn't there's some country song about Jimmy Buffett? Yeah, yeah. What would Jimmy Buffett do? Oh, is that actually what he says in the song? I think so. I was like, I know there's some country song that talks about Jimmy Buffett.

Pull me something somewhere and sing or if we're singing do, before I go and sing. You know that song, time? It's only a bad friend, but I don't care. It's five o'clock somewhere. Good song. That's the third day version.

It's forever. So I didn't look it up. I just have no idea who Jimmy Buffett is. Why are people buying stickers about this? What's he known for? He yeah. So he is no, he is a singer. He's a musician.

And he definitely like has, he's dead now. So be careful. Dead Buffett. Be how mean you are. I don't, also I don't really get that. If you're a celebrity, I'll criticize you no matter if you're dead or alive. Name a few.

Houston, Jackson. Those are capital cities. Also not true. Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson. Those are, those are capital cities. Also not true. Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson. Yeah. People like that Epstein Epstein. I'll make fun of Epstein if I need to. Yeah. Anyway, Jimmy O'Fett kind of like found his, I don't know about found. Maybe it's just his personality is like beach beachy guy. Like he loves Florida. Like I think he has a really popular song

called Margaritaville. I don't know what Margaritaville is either. I'm teaching you now. Yeah. Is that a physical location? Is it a city? I don't think it's a city, but I think he has, he has like bars that are Margaritaville bars.

Oh, it's like a chain. As far as I know, I think it's a chain. There's definitely one in Gulf shores and I don't think that bars that are Margaritaville bars. Oh, it's like a chain. As far as I know, I think it's a chain. There's definitely one in Gulf Shores and I don't think that's the only Margaritaville. Okay, and he started that or he likes it a lot. He started that I think. I think it's like Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. So I think he's just kind of a vibe for beach music

and like chilling on the beach, relaxing kind of guy. Jimmy Buffett. What would Jimmy Buffett do? Start a Margaritaville franchise my Margarita. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Across the Southeast US. He is. He's just like, and I think he, he's got fans. Anybody know what his fans are called? Buffett tears. I believe, and I'm not making this up. This sounds like I'm making it up. I believe they're called parrot heads because I think they wear anybody heard. This sounds like I'm making it up. I believe they're called parrot heads. Cause I think they wear, anybody heard this?

No? Horticulture? No? Is that horticulture? Parrots? Yeah, atypical. Vascular. I'm not gonna get that word.

Apical. Anyway, yeah, I think they wear like parrot hats, to like kind of like cheese heads. Yeah, Packers fans. They're, their parrot heads parrot heads. I Know more than I thought I would about because I Think that's about it I think I might be tapped out on Jimmy Buffett stuff because like his music is not super memorable because it's really chill

Like just like beachy music. Yeah, what's his best hit? Like if I heard one of his songs and not known, it was a parrot song. I think Margaritaville. Bum, bum, bum, a done of Margaritaville. Also, I don't know if that's the exact way. I think he has a version of, if you like pina coladas. I think, Tyman, you can look up Jimmy Buffett's songs

if you want. Sure. Those might be the only two I can think of off the top of my head, but I think there's probably a few more. You've done just fine on answering who's Jimmy Buffett. You did a great job. That's a fun like, Hey, I don't know this. Can you tell me things about him?

Yeah. I was like, I'm not going to Google this and I'm tired of looking at this guy. It seems a little sacrilege. Don't have WWJD on my fridge. I just looked it up. Simon. Sorry. Cheeseburger in paradise. Cheeseburgers, Simon. Sorry. Uh, uh, cheeseburger in paradise.

Cheeseburgers in paradise. Yep. Yeah. I know that. I've got cheeseburgers paradise. That's, that's a good bit. Like, uh, the song come Monday. Can you think of that? How that song goes? That one. It come Monday, Monday. You gotta come Monday, Monday. You got to come over on Monday. Everybody's wanting to play that fun game on Monday. And then his fifth most popular song on Spotify, a pirate looks at 40. A pirate looks at 40. Remember that one? 40 remember that one The pass what about roll me up and

Smoke something roll me up and smoke me probably you got that one Yeah, roll me up and smoke me when I die actually That about like not having an open casket No, I think it's like it's like his last will and testament. I want to be cremated and then you get me in there. I don't know. Maybe. Or maybe it's just like roll me up the hill and like do a burnt offering. I don't know. I don't get it.

I don't I don't know. It could be anything. But yeah, it's five o'clock somewhere. Is this song with Alan Jackson? It sounds like that was the okay you have heard that one That was the one. Yep. Yeah good song 329 million plays good Spotify 4.2 million monthly listeners Jimbo does people are enjoying them. Where's that money go?

To his his lady his trust lady buffet You must be lady Buffett. You must be Lady Buffett. Buffett hardly even know it. They smiled. They were not smiling. I was watching. They were frowning. I'm looking at it. Yeah. Some more things about you. I mean, he just looks like a vibe, honestly.

He just looks like a guy that lives and lived in Florida his whole life. Yeah. Like it feels like Jacksonville is and lived in Florida his whole life. Yeah He feels like Jacksonville is like Buffett Buffett land. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'll look into it find into Jacksonville in April Take a peek. Okay, look around Gulf and Western they describe him as so golf Brad this time of year, it's getting Warmer. Oh, yeah, it's getting warmer. Oh yeah. It's getting hotter.

That's what I'm saying, brother. Come on with it. I had Main Street Roasters this morning and I am pumped up about it. When you buzz with those beans, there's nothing like it. It's delicious, it's nutritious, it's good for you, and it makes you feel good, and it tastes good. I was driving down the highway the other day, and I saw a sign from MoDOT,

the Missouri Department of Transportation, and they said, hey, buzz driving is drunk driving. Not with Main Street Roasters. Not with these beans. Not with these beans. If you only knew Buster, I called them up, gave them a little piece of my mind. They gave me some crap about how I didn't understand.

I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention. But the point was. You were buzzed. I was, I don't know. They couldn't hear me, I was throwing my words, but basically I was jazzed up on mainstream osers beans. I was like, I can drive this way. Yes.

And they loved hearing that. I rolled every time I see a cop now. I rolled down my window. I'm buzzed. I'm buzzed. I'm buzzed. I'm buzzed. I got pulled over this week.

Didn't even mention that on the podcast. But yeah, yeah. And your tags are very expired. And that's what we talked about. Oh yeah. He said, you know, I pulled you over and I say, not because I'm buzzed. Not because I'm buzzed. Cause that's okay with me.

So roaster. Right. He loved that. He's like, no, I get it. And I said, it's because of my license plate. And he said, yes, cause your license plate. Did he give you 10% off your ticket for using GRKC as a promo code? I paid full price. Did you really? Yeah Dang it full court appearance do that's too bad

That's no, I don't I think I I don't know how to stack that with your 10-day off period good. Yeah good Yeah, no, we buzzed when I show up FYI I'm completely sound mind by in-bus. Okay? So whatever it's over, no doubts, okay? A little bit buzzed. 10% off with Main Street Roasters.

Buzz for yourself while driving or operating heavy machinery or just getting cozy under a nice blanket or bed sheets. MainstreetRoasters.com. Tastes the same either way. Last night we missed you, but championship volleyball happened. Documentary crew came out. Isaac came straight from Omaha basically. And we had our full team together for the first time over a month and we had a semi-final final game some ghosties were there and

It was so fun semi-final game Cakewalk, you know 21 5 21 8 good and a championship game. These guys are undefeated They got a guy who I think Tate unro came off the court and said this is his thing Oh, you know you're like this is He is so good like, where you're like, this is, he is so good. Like, I mean, it looks like Olympic level, like he goes to serve the ball and he's tossing it up 16 feet in the air. Like with like, he's already putting like spin on it

and then like massive gather, huge like jump serve. I mean, the ball's dipping six feet every serve. It was something special. Is he a big dude too, like tall? Not necessarily, but I mean, athletic ball's dipping six feet every serve. It was something special. Is he a big dude too, like tall? Not necessarily, but I mean, athletic and very springy. Okay. He was nasty. So it was extremely fun.

Cause like, all right, we actually get to like play hard for the first time all season, but also kind of funny. Like we've just like not sweat for eight weeks. And now it's like, oh my gosh, now we're playing the all-star team. Right. But it was so fun having the crew there and everyone kind of brought friends and we had like a little bit of an audience and it. But it was so fun having the crew there and everyone kind of brought friends

and we had like a little bit of an audience and it was just so, so fun because the rallies would last forever. And then I think it was like Game Point and like Tate Unruh had like the first block of, like the best block of his life to like get us ahead. And then I think we get back to Game Point again in the final game, I have my only block of the season.

It was just like, how is all this happening? It's being taken. Yeah. And so we had a blast and we ended up winning the whole thing in two games. So it was just so fun. How close was it? I mean, within two points, both games.

So very much could have gone either way. We were like losing both games, came back and won. So fun. And we got on film, which is nice, but yeah. Yeah. It was like borderline embarrassing to admit to Rachel, but I was like, I think I'm having trouble falling asleep

because I have adrenaline from volleyball. I'm like that excited. I was like, I had so much fun, like actually trying and the girls on our team are just so good. It was just a blast. Well, probably because it's, yeah, it's like way more of a challenge than, well, that may not be way more of a challenge,

but like, I don't know. What, yeah, what do you think that is? Like, why do you think it's that versus like, like, if you want a basketball game, you wouldn't have that kind of adrenaline, would you? I don't know. Maybe it just felt like we were all like playing at a high level. It was like this. Thank you guys for letting me be a part of something. That was really fun. That was really cool. You guys just knowing how much talent the girls have is like, that's so nice of them to let me share the core with them. But there were some great ghosts there. Met some new ghosties too. You know, some, some of the man have is like, that's so nice of them to let me share the core with them. But there were some great ghosties there. I met some new ghosties too.

Some of the Ming's were there, of course. Hannah Warner was there. But then father and son came up from Paola, never met them before. Oh, cool. Logan's still in high school. He wrote us a jingle back in the day. If you remember, I kind of remembered this,

but he went and checked out Comic Coffee for us and like posted about it, like two years ago, he went to the Office Trivia Night and he said, he's like, dude, it actually wasn't that bad. He said, I had some fun. So it was really fun meeting him and his dad and they lived down in Paola and so he hasn't been able to make it to like Grandibe or anything else.

Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I was glad I got to meet them. Yeah, our volleyball team was called Friday Pickleball, so I was like, we can't show up without paddles. So we're like, if we win, everybody's getting hooked up. So we had like 20 paddles and gave them away. And so yeah, there were some of like Annika's, one of our teammates, her friends came

and they walked away with like pickleball paddles and Casey Crew gave us a bunch of sport coffee. If you want some, you can have some. Yeah, the homes thing. Okay. Yeah. So like, it feels like we won. This is awesome. Yeah. Thanks for coming guys.

That's great. So fun. That you guys were there to film it too. Yeah. Good time. Yeah. I'm sure it was electric. Cause every time you score, it was a tight game anyway. There was a score that people have cheered for you. Yes.

Was the other team completely by themselves? Like did they have any? Yeah. I don't think, I don't think they had much of anything. They didn't even have a wife. Did you have Anybody there? Not even like at home waiting on them. I mean, they were. Like they went home alone.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice folks though. Yeah. There was one girl on the other team. This is kind of fun to see. You know, I don't really know the nuances of volleyball really or unwritten rules,

but I guess there was a girl on the other team doing stuff you're not really supposed to do. For instance, like, I don't even really get into it, but basically like- I'm interested. Calling us out on things that we had already like called ourselves out on. Like, so what happens a lot in volleyball

is the other team is, you know, they bump, they set, they spike, we go up to block and the ball does go out of bounds, but the person who blocked it did barely tip it. And so it's very much an honor system. Just like, you know, I tipped it, I tipped it. And so like Rachel goes up, tips it, touch, touch, touch. And then this girl on the other side is like, touch, touch,

like pointing and yelling. And Rachel's like, I called it, I called it. And it's like very much like doing that kind of thing. I'm like, no, no, you're, you know, your girl, you know, just like all over the rules. So much that one of their teammates like came over to us between games like hey I'm really sorry about oh wow she's very intense, but she's she's just it's just kind of how she is you can't help it

Yeah, which is a bummer when you have to apologize for your team But it did light a little fire in the girls of course me Isaac and tater like I don't know yes I mean yeah, you touched it She's valid. Yeah, I was gonna scream at you if she didn't that's funny Okay, but obviously like the rule is that you're supposed to let a girl hit it every time, but if you block it that's just moot. Cause like if somebody spiking it and then you block it back that's okay.

Yes. So if, if two or more touches happen one has to be a girl. There you go. But yes, a guy can just straight block it back on them. I figured it's nice. Yeah. Yeah. Good point of clarification. You just, there's a guy that's on the front line

just has to get smoked every time by these spikes. Yeah After Tate saw like two serves from the guy like the pro player the way he's serving it Tate looks back at us goes I might try to block one next and we're like you that's illegal do not He's like it's going like an inch above the net. Why don't we just block it? That's so that's not That's so amateur, like, cause that's what I would think too. Like I know that now, but I remember for a while I was like, why don't people just run up and just throw it right back

and spike it right away? You're watching pickleball, why don't they just go right up to the net? Yeah. They're all like lean, what is the point of this? They're like really scared of that line. Yeah, Tate, I might just try to block his serve. Hey, thank me later, I'm going to go in there and block it. You just hear Yeah, Tate. I'm just trying to block his serve. Hey, thank me later.

I'm gonna go in there and block it. You just hear him go, boys, I'm going rogue. No, Tate, no. Yeah, he was great though. That's awesome, dude. So you guys got a t-shirt? We did not. Oh, you get a medal?

What do you get? We got a banner, big old banner. That's pretty cool. Temporarily to take a picture with. You don't get anything?. You'll get anything. I didn't get anything. Maybe the girls took it. Oh, they don't even give you a medal these days.

I've never won. So I assume that you get something good. I know. I've never won either. That's the first thing I told Tate when he joined the team. I said, just so you know, I was gonna have real good to get in second in anything. We're the best at getting second.

But yeah, you just take a picture in front of this banner. Yeah. It's pretty sick. That is that's so cool. How big was the banner? Dude, it was like six by four. No way. Yeah. Wow. That's in feet. That's that's feet, dude. That's that's sweet. Yeah. Good for you. Yeah, it was pretty cool. That's awesome. I was sad to miss but Wednesday night's church night for the for the kiddos. You're fine. So how do you would have, it was boiling. Was it, you would not have liked it. Yeah. A little humid.

Why do they do that? They just don't have the AC on yet. Could be an HVAC issue. Could be, could be. I don't know. Cool. One thing that happened to me this week, that's very mediocre, but hey, what else are we going to do? Yeah. I I've been going to the chiropractor a little bit, you know, and just, yeah, they took x-rays the first time I was there at the chiropractor to kind of see where we're at with the spine and everything, blah, blah, blah. Great.

And he's like, Brad, your left leg is longer than your right leg. And that's what's causing you to be uncomfortable. By how much? I think they said like 10 millimeters. What's that equal? Let's see. Not like a ton. Couple of tannins.

I just put up 10 millimeters, 10 millimeters to inches. Would be 0.39 inches. So not nothing. Not nothing. So anyway, trying to get adjusted, it was feeling all right for a month or two. And then I haven't been back for a while. Started getting painful again.

And so I was like, I gotta go back to this thing. Went back and they adjusted me one day and I was supposed to come back in a few more days to check up on it. He's like, well, come know, come back again before Texas if you need to, but if not, I'll just wait till after Texas. I was hurting. So I'm like, I'm making another appointment.

Making another appointment. He's like, let's just get this thing figured out. Let's do an X-ray right now. Let's see if we've made progress on this thing. No progress. Which I'm like, great. That's fun that I spent all this money for no progress. And so now he gave me what's like a lift

for my right foot shoe. And so right now, Oh, you walking a little tall. Yeah. I'm, I don't, I don't, I don't promote like a body, you know, augmentation. I don't need plastic surgery just like you. I'm like, I'm good.

Got my lift. Whoa. It's pretty, it's pretty thick. Yeah. Slap your credit card in there, dude. Yeah, you can fit, it's probably like four or five credit cards worth in here. And I have to just like change it from shoe to shoe. It really looks like one of those sleek wallets

I get targeted Instagram ads for. That's like a ridge wallet right there. You wouldn't even know it fits in your front pocket. Yeah, I'll pay today, boys. Hey, I got it. Just gotta take my shoe off real quick. It literally, I mean, it feels exactly like you'd think it would feel.

Like it feels like you're walking with one. On your wallet. Yeah. But it's supposed to, so at least now your hips are like in the right. I guess. This feels like something that a lot of German shepherds deal with.

How do they fix them? Did he bring that up at all? He didn't? No, well, no he didn't. Okay. No. Yeah, it's weird though. I will say I'm trying, I'm starting to get used to it. Like the most annoying thing is like, I might want a few of these

because I'm tired of changing out my shoes every time. It feels like that would be an adjustment. Is it a little annoying? Does it feel like you're walking funny? Yes, but like, but then you get used to it and it's okay. Like it's, it's all right. I don't know. And I will say my back has hurt less in the mornings and like, yeah, I'm feeling better.

But I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, but yeah, just been rocking the lift. I think that's what they call it. Yeah, and people don't know, some people like see your truck or they saw the truck in the episode, but they don't realize your truck is like crazy lifted too. So it's kind of just like your whole brand. Yeah, looks like a monster truck. I never take the stairs. I always go elevator

Yeah, love a good lift. Yeah. Yeah, I work out a lot just got a lift You like to encourage people. I never take ubers. There it is. We've exhausted the list. No, we haven't You go encourage people lift I'm big Josh Groban fan, you know you raised me up Lift. You go. Encourage people. Lift. I'm a big Josh Groban fan. You know, you raised me up. It's the number lift. German Shepherd just reminded me this is such a dumb thing, but just a just a fun,

just little joy moment of this past week. I'm playing pickleball at this big facility. And so everyone's got bags all over, there's nets separating the courts. And as I'm playing, it's just one of those weird thoughts you have, like a girl has like set her bags down and it's like a handbag, a pickleball bag and a purse. And the way they're like oriented,

they're all similar color, they're all like a little form of gray. Like out of the corner of my eye, I'm just thinking to myself like, every time I look over there, it looks like a husky is laying down. Like, that's just like, the objects have formed into a dog. And so I'm like, oh, that's kind of funny.

Like, that's so weird. Like, anyway, fast forward an hour. Now I'm teammates with Brian. Don't know Brian real, real well. Wears a headband every time I see him though. Like that about Brian. Yeah. Didn't have sweat in his eyes.

Yeah. And the ball rolls over and Brian goes, did this gonna sound weird? But I just went and picked that ball up and I thought there was a dog right there. I was like, dude, this is gonna sound crazy. I thought that same thing. And I was like, no one in the right mind

would ever think that. I would never admit that to anyone. I thought the exact same thing. I thought there was a dog over there. So we're like, should we go tell other people? Should dog over here? Dude, check this out. What does it remind you of?

Yeah, it was awesome. You and dry faced Brian had a moment. That's awesome So that's it. Okay, really fun when I said German Shepherd ever mind was like, oh, yeah, I kind of saw one this week Yeah, almost like practically there should be like yeah Like if you guys see things that look like dogs, please put in the Facebook and it's got to be a like out of the Corner of your eyes. So you look at it, like it's three bags, but. Is that deja vu? Kinda.

Okay, thank you. I thought so. Gotta be a big dog. Good. That's fun, man. Did you talk to the chiropractor, which I think, I kinda see a chiropractor like, when it deals with like your spine,

it's connected to everything, so. Spinal. Spinal. Your tennis elbow has moved arms. When it deals with like your spine, it's connected to everything. So final final Your tennis elbow has moved arms sued I'm worried about you. I'm worried about a lot of my body, right? I don't know what's that. I I didn't want to alarm. That's the thing about chiropractors is they can fix everything That's what I'm saying because it's all it's the nerves But I don't want to give them too much ammo too quickly because then it's all of a sudden like, well, we got to come back seven days a week. Yeah. It's like, uh, okay. I don't know. Uh, part of it's like, maybe, I mean, I worked for 10 hours outside and I was overcompensating for this arm with this arm. So maybe, but yeah, dude, like I've just been

sore in weird places and like a weird kind of sore, not like a muscle sore. That's what's so weird about it. It's like, like last night I was walking and I saw you and like my calf was starting to get sore, but it wasn't like a cramp in my calf. I don't know how to describe it. Like, it's like, am I just like losing all my muscle all of a sudden? Or like, is my body just attacking me or what?

Yeah, I kind of hurt my wrist the other day on my left hand It's like fall apart truly and like to the point where I don't even want to complain to Katherine anymore I'm like, I think she's just gonna be so stressed about everything if I tell her all the things that are hurting on me And so I just kind of let it go. I'm just like I'll just suck it up and do this But yeah, he did mention I did mention like the tendonitis thing and he's like, yeah, that you can compensate. We can like adjust things to make that better. But a lot of it's just inflammation and rest and whatever.

So yeah, but like, yeah, my, like my right side of my shoulder, my right shoulder is hurting my next, like so many different things. And it's just like, I'm ready to be done with this. I'm ready to like feel okay. Like it's like, cause, cause this arm is starting to feel better. And then all of a sudden, right with this arm still feels better. This one starts hurting. And I'm like, I'm not that active of a guy. I'm trying to be more active even, but it's like, I got to rest. But then if you rest too long, then maybe that's making me worse. So I'm like, I don't know what the answer is here.

Dr. Ghost is out there. Knack backs. What does Brad need to do? Dr. Knack backs, not food truck. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Good to clarify. So, um, anyway, yeah, I don't know.

Yeah. I did write that down in my notes. My body continues to hurt. I just wrote down. It's just like, what is happening? Like, Unfortunately, it's like, is this just getting older? I don't think it is. I don't I'm not accepting that I'm 34. Yeah, like I'm not 50. Yeah, like I think when your body does deteriorate over time, we know that I'm not I'm not there yet. No I'm still in my prime of my life

my private life Oh, man, you know, what's good No. I'm still in my prime of my life. My prime of life. All right. Oh man, you know what's good? What? You know what really is like, I just go down that main street of just like goodness. What are you talking about? You know like, you know that first like,

just like how that chicken nugget feels when you dip it in that first good dip of ranch. I think I know what you're talking about. It's the same feeling that you get when you snuggle up with cozy earth. That's right. It is good. It is good.

And it's just like the main thing I want. Oh dude, I was so cold the other day, Freezing cold. I got under one of those pneumonia. Maybe I got, I think I had the pee. I, I, but I got under one of those cuddle blankets. All of a sudden I was a roaster, dude. I was so warm. That's good. I was funny story. Uh-huh. This is hilarious actually. Guys, calm down. They're gonna be able to hear it. Go ahead.

Stop laughing. Stop, stop guys. Go in the other room. Go in the other room if you have to. Go ahead. I was, I was gardening the other day. Botany? I was doing some botanics.

Yeah. And I'm out there and it was a cold day. This is good. And I'm out there and I was also in my cozier blanket. And so I didn't feel cold. You were in your cozier blanket gardening. Gardening outside because it's so cold. That's a good site.

I like to garden. I read a book that there's no such thing as bad gardening. That's right. I go outside every day and I got there and I was, I was gardening my blanket. I felt perfectly comfortable and I didn't do, I really didn't do any gardening because I was like, there should be no seeds. I don't do seeds. I don't do seeds. And then you look and you're like, there should be no seeds. I don't do seeds. I don't do seeds. And then you look and you're like, wait, I think bamboo might come from a seed.

I think Cozy Earth has viscose from bamboo. And then I thought maybe we should do things that are actually about Cozy Earth for the rest of this ad read. Man, it's so fun to be able to tell that story. That was hilarious. That was so good, dude. Yep.

I thought it was so funny. I forgot to laugh at the end. No, and that happens sometimes. My laugh in the middle. Hey, Cozier! Cozier is the sponsor. All right. Yep.

Last night we got home from volleyball. I was still sweaty. Somehow Rachel, cold as a bone. And. Bone cold. That's what they say. And she got under the cold blanket and said, I am perfect right now.

Now excuse me while I go laugh some more at that garden story. I do have one relatable or nah dude real quick. Let's begin. Relatable or nah dude. I wrote down, I just wrote down, relatable or not dude, chaos days versus normal days. Do you sometimes just have days where you're like,

I'm just not doing it the right way on purpose. So the inspiration for this was- Think about driving on the wrong side of the road all day. It's like, I don't care. Yeah, it's like, well, okay, that might be part of it. Like I have this weird personality where every once in a while I'm like, I, well, okay. That might be part of it. Like I, I, I have this weird personality where everyone's, so I'm like, I'm just going to drive a little more

aggressively today. I'm just going to go a little bit faster than I need to today. Like, and I had the thought today, I have a electric toothbrush every 30 seconds. It, it like clicks on that. And, and in my head, I'm like, okay, split up into four quadrants of my mouth, brush for 30 seconds, go down. Today, I was just going all over the place

for two minutes straight. Chaos day. Relatable or not, dude. Where some days it's like, hey, I have a pretty normal routine for how I brush my teeth. Today, I'm not doing that. And it wasn't like a conscious thought, it was more just like a, here I am, just going going all around kind of feeling feeling froggy today for whatever reason

Initial thoughts are no, I do not relate to this late. Really? Yeah, same stage of life. Okay, okay I was there's you wonder what that is. Yeah, I don't know. It's like let's find it. Let's find it. What's going on? I don't know maybe every day is a chaos day. Honestly, how's your heart? I don't know. Maybe every day is a chaos day. Honestly, though, how's your heart? I need about that. I'm not a big root. I mean, I try. I value routine, but I also don't stick to routines very like most days I shower in the mornings, but every once in a while it's like not showering right away.

And then it's like, shoot, should have showered too late now. I'm going to go to the gym soon. I'm not going to shower now, you know? And so just chaos day, chaos day. I wonder what that shower now, you know? And so, just chaos day. Chaos day. I wonder what that is. I bet there is like a reason for it though. Yeah. Hormone, something like.

And maybe today when I was brushing, I brushed my teeth in the shower. And maybe it was just like, I'm brushing my teeth and thinking about other things and you know, not consciously thinking about the quadrants as much or something. I don't know. Yeah.

I mean, I was thinking about the podcast, the documentary. How am I going to look for the doc? You know, just worry about the doc. How's, how's my, yeah. How am I going to be portrayed by Nathan in the doc, hot doc. Rachel can't believe it. We always say we could tell you exactly why I did every single thing. Exactly why I put the fork where I did in this spot in the dishwasher, you know, everything. And so like, I am so the opposite. If I were to have a chaos day, like I think I would be able to like tell you exactly what happened.

I mean, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like this spot in the dishwasher, you know, everything. And so like, I am so the opposite. If I were to have a chaos day, like I think I would be able to like, tell you exactly why I felt that way. You think, okay. So the fork example, you think, are you consciously thinking about every time or would it be like, hey, why'd you do that? And you're like, oh, because of this. And then I could tell you afterwards. Yeah. It's like, it's like a habitual, sorry for, yep. Prick. It's like, it's like, it's like yeah, it's like a habitual sorry for yep, it's like it

It's like it's like a tendency that you have but then like you do have a reason behind it But you're not like consciously thinking every time you do everything. Whoa Holy cow Wait, what's going? What's first lady of the podcast happening? Wow Happy graduation time Tymon. Oh, thank you so much. I'm embarrassed to say that I found this.

Oh no, I haven't. Can't find a good reference. Do you want to go ahead and- Well, I didn't think it was that revolutionary, what I said. It was just- I was being truthful. Yeah, yesterday when I was coming over here

to do this documentary, I hope I had looked good on that doc. Um, yeah, they say you do. Okay. Good. Um, but, uh, I, I, you were like, oh, I don't want you to leave. Don't leave. Okay. Didn't sound that needy. Like, okay, you say, tell the story. Hey, you're leaving. That's what I said. Oh, no. Oh, don't leave me. It was sweet. That's why I said, oh, no, shot. Way better than like, oh, don't leave me. It was sweet. I thought it was sweet.

But you you're like, don't leave. You're like, some days I don't want you to leave. Other days, I'm OK with it. Something like that. And I was like, that is so relatable. Like, very true. I think sometimes I got stuff to do. We got school going. You're a distraction.

Get out of the house. Yeah. Other days, you're like, OK. Other days, do you hear all these crying children? Please don't leave. Yeah Alright, I think Jake found a good list. I I just I'm still torn. No, the list only goes to nine It doesn't crack the top nine. Tell you that don't say crack. I read a lot of other crazy ones. Those are good cat. Yeah All right, brobeys We're recording a podcast here, Catherine. So show off the jeans. I love you. Carly Jean, Los Angeles. All of it. Yeah. If you think Catherine's nice. Someone on Reddit in the subreddit, no stupid question said is a cuss word for the United States. People are saying depending on the context,

you pricked your finger, no. That guy is, yes. Okay, Hoover, damn, no. Guys, don't put that in the doc. Someone else said more of an insult than a cuss word. I think that's how I saw it as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it could be both, right?

Severity score, someone gave it five or less out of 10. Yeah, I don't think it's, yes. I think it could be both. Right. Severity score. Someone gave it five or less out of 10. Yeah, I don't think it's. Yes. I think it's like I apologize either way. The my office of line coach always said that to us. Be a bit. You tell you to be one. Yes. Like that's and I did not like him and he got in legal trouble later. Look it up. Well, I'm later. So look it up.

Well I'm sorry. But yeah, it is a pretty offensive insult in the UK. Okay. UK. Okay. Okay. All right. Sorry about that.

We're all learning. We're all learning. Okay. So chaos days. No one. Catherine gets it. You guys as non parents, they're kind of nodding along. Okay. So maybe if you've been to college, you would get it timing.

Yeah, yeah. I was going to log in to ISIS. Have some chaos days. Anyway, yeah, just thought about that. I've like some days were just like, I don't know. It's just it's just I'm brushing my teeth. I'm driving fast today. Yeah, man.

Oh, all right. Should we do our reviews of the week? Dude, we got some great reviews of the week. Yeah, a good handful. A good handful. Yeah, let me pull them up real quick. Always forget to do that. All right, this is from Hunter Walls.

I started listening to this podcast this past October. I would listen while I played the college football video game. Before I started listening to the podcast while playing, I would get irritated very easily. But since listening to the guys, I am much more chill. Listening to the guys is like hanging out with friends. Keep up the great work.

Just a suggestion, include a moment or two of positive affirmations to ensure everyone is remaining calm and not getting too upset. Maybe just to him specifically. Hunter. Hunter, you're good. Honti. Listen, the season is all it's a long season. You can't put yourself in that position. If you're down 14 and

you score, you have to go for two first. It's the analytics play. Listen, you can still make the cactus bowl. You might not make Fiesta, but you can still go cactus. You're welcome. Hunter, you can still make it to a bowl. You're still bowl eligible. Um, our minds a long one from Kaylee Stoltzfus. And as far as I know, from what this looks like, she is not like directly related to Tyler Stoltzfus. Evolve.

Jensen. Yeah. Videography. Yeah. Like, that's a, that seems like a crazy last name. I know another Stoltzfus, though, from Keanukuk. Yeah. Oh, interesting.

So maybe it's more like a, you know, oh, we don't know that in our culture, but in their culture, it's popular. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good Christian name. Yeah, like Rajit is like more popular than Jacob. In a pistol from the invisible girl. That's a long one.

So buckle in, put your beaver in a harness. All right. Why do I call myself a ghostie if I have yet to post or comment on the Facebook page or really contribute in any way? It's a question of the hour. All I know is it's an honor to listen if you try to take that title from me I will fight you with frozen salmon. Great I found you guys a year and a half ago from the walk and love podcast also a complete joy of a pod But somehow it feels like I've been listening for years

I'm a young mom of three and your content is always so life-giving and never fails to make me laugh as I clean up the supper dishes after a full over-stimulating day. Brad, I love your love and dedication for your young family. My husband Chad and I have two daughters and one son and I would personally like to host a memory throwdown between Hattie and my oldest daughter Ansley. It says her daughter's five, Hatt he would wipe the floor with Ansley. Yeah. It's not gonna have a chaos day. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. She'll be thrown off for a while. It sounds like they're two peas in the pod. So when you and your family are in

the New York finger lakes area, please come over. What does Jim Carey say? Yeah. I gotta go with like the finger. He just says it over and over and over. I really like the finger lakes. Yeah. We'll show you all the local sites and I'll introduce Catherine to all my crunchy friends. She'll love it. When, when, and I'll introduce Catherine to all my crunchy friends. She'll love it. Win, win, win. Jake, you and Rachel sound like an absolute delight to host for a game night, so consider yourselves

invited to the memory throwdown as well. And where is this at again? This is in the finger lakes. I'll be sure to serve a plethora of chicken options since Dr. On couldn't get his act together. Shame on him. And while you're here, maybe we can briefly go over how pickleball scoring works, because on earth people, that's not that hard.

I'm starting to doubt everything you're saying. I'm worried about Ansley. Uh, timing. You are a dark horse, sir. You, sir, our gold. Sorry. It says timing. You dark horse. Is that offensive? In my culture, yes. You sir are gold. What started off as me wishing the little boy in the background would stop piping up. What? Piping up? This guy's piping up all over. She's talking about Scott.

Yeah. Quickly turned into the beloved younger brother that we all long for. Please come eat chicken with us at the memory throwdown and we'll have a night of singing around the campfire. Where? In the finger lakes. Okay. My husband and I were both raised in and continue to be conservative Mennonites so we're big singers and we often have singing nights with our little kids. Oh yeah. Is that like a thing like, oh

conservative Mennonite you guys must sing a lot. Oh you sing a lot. Oh yeah you're annoying. It'd be an honor, time in to have you join. Also please never stop piping up. 180. Thank you again for the joy and authenticity the three of you bring to the world. It would be an honor to be real life friends with you three and your families. But if that doesn't happen, I'll be sure to swing by your mansions in heaven and chat a while. Three cheers to building his kingdom. Praise emojis.

In 2013, Reid brought those Chiefs up. There was nobody that compared to these players

and nobody came between us or could ever come above. Chiefs had me going crazy. Oh we had good luck. And then we played strangely. This game really sucked. Content won't compound. Not on my feet with interviews on the street and Casey Ghosties frowned. What a bummer of a Super Bowl weekend. My homes got me dazing cause Chiefs were so amazing. And now my heart is breakin' So I just keep on sayin' Casey, Casey, Casey Oh, like Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey No, like Casey, Casey, Casey

We're not done. We're not done. There's always next year. You can still make the cactus bowl. That was great. That was awesome. More songs with rap parts for Jacob. Yeah. Or just having Jake sing, but more songs for rap parts for Jake. Timon should sing instead of me.

Also I want everyone to understand that Jake got those lyrics five seconds before the song started and he just spouted the, but, but, but, but, but, but people need to appreciate it. In 2013, that's when I realized, oh, I think he talks fast soon. I can't even read as fast as I need to talk. So that was gonna be a bummer. Thank you, Matty. That was very well written, made it easy. She's great.

I used to do a breakfast traffic candy cut to that song. I think it was biscuits and gravy. That is a beaver, Jake. So nevermind. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. Yeah, some breakfast food. All right, we're up against the clock here. Howdy. Who? Catherine doesn't want any more. Oh, oh, oh, hey, shut up, shut up, shut up. Let's get out of here.
