We rolling? Here we go, I guess. Guys, time is back. Yes. And also, it's April. That's right. So don't say we didn't tell you. Yeah. Time is back and time and I've been spending a lot of time together. I heard inklings of a story that happened a time in a year ago, and I can't believe he's never brought up on the podcast. So time and it's showtime. Thank you. Um, I'm going to do my best to remember this. I had kind of forgotten about it till you brought it up, but probably a year ago, I'm guessing it was after choir or something. It's like the McDonald's right. You know, kind of the vibe. Oh yeah. Post

choir post choir vibe. It's a little looser. Uh, but there's a McDonald's right by M&U. So you know kind of the vibe. Oh yeah. Post-choir. Post-choir vibe. It's a little looser. Yeah. But there's a McDonald's right by M&U. So we went there, we were hanging out, and this whole. That's like my childhood McDonald's. Oh, you love that McDonald's. Oh yeah. 130, yeah, we're talking Merlin Santa Fe.

Oh yeah. They used to put Santa Claus's on top of the roof for decoration. Oh yeah. Play place. And it's a day maybe. I don't know if I've ever had a play place. Wow.

Nope. And then they did build one when I was like 12 over closer to us. So we don't, but anyway, go ahead. Yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about. So this older gentleman who is seemed not, not well off in life.

I think we like gathered, this guy's probably just fully homeless or just like fully homeless. Okay, I don't know what I mean by that. Fully homeless. I thought you were trying to glam it up a little bit. Like I don't wanna. He seemed somewhat impoverished. That dude's not even kinda.

I mean, I don't even know if he's got soup kitchens on rotation. I mean, the mental health problems this guy, I don't even know if he's got like soup kitchens on rotation. I mean, the mental health problems this guy, I can't even imagine. Can we break down like the tears of homelessness to you, Tim? I don't know, man. I just... It's early, man. He just... Full on.

Sure. Full on unhoused. Just, or like definitely either like maybe he does have a home But like once once he's under the influence of some other stuff you kind of he's kind of fully homeless. Okay, got it Got it But he comes up and he just kind of like stands over our table like me and Zachary just like chillin and we're just like Hey, sir. He's like Can I interest anyone you guys interested in buying like a 30-foot anaconda? I?

got I got a 30 foot anaconda that I caught you guys want to buy it and then we're just like what like really like I don't you gotta see it I'm sure there was like several seconds of just like shock of like what are you doing? Are we not hearing you? But he like had he kept bringing it up to I think we ended up This was like the main thing I remember I don't remember a lot of details, but I remember like we were talking to him for probably 30 minutes What he was like he was one minute and we were like politely entertaining him. Yeah. Yeah that it was a wild It's like a minute per foot. Yeah Wow That was a wild experience. Wait, just a minute per foot? Yeah. Wow. So the wording that Zach told me that he remembered

was that he came up to you guys and said, I don't know if you heard, but I'm buying an anaconda in an hour. Wow. But you're saying he already owned the anaconda. This is what I think. I'm sure the other fully homeless people have told you. I think I would trust Zach's memory more than mine. So that's probably

what he said. But what I remember is he like wanted to like sell it. Like I thought he had one. He probably right. And either way, I think it's clear. Fully homeless. Fully. Yeah. Not a chance of a home. Like didn't have any belongings. If he did, they were on them shopping cart. No, at least he didn't bring it in. I don't know. Well, that's nice of them 30 foot 30 feet that I mean We're just like trying to find a way to break alright, alright punchline punchline for the intro so 30 feet 30 foot It's almost Almost the first down tin. Yeah. Yeah. Hey It's almost... Oh... Almost the first down. Ten y- yeah. Hey.

It's April! Uh-uh-oh, ooh I- ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost from the spark cam. I do want to talk about how you verify if an anaconda is 30 feet long. Like you buy this anaconda that that things on, you're like, that looks like it's 26, 27 feet. Like, do you think somebody would be like,

well, you figured it out yourself? Yeah, cause if it's all the way stretched out, you're already dead. Dude, think about a 30 foot anaconda. I don't know how, I mean, that's not, this wall to that wall back there is less than 30 feet. I bet. It's like five of these desks. Yeah, that's not this wall to that wall back there is less than 30 feet. I think five of these desks Yeah, that's that's what I think they grow that big in America they have to be in the Amazon

I don't know if you heard but he's going to the Amazon As long as it's downhill the cart can make it That's a good point. So you guys just entertain this whole anaconda? Yeah, I can't remember remember what all we talked about, but like, I think he was going on. Like, I couldn't tell what, which of what he was saying was true. I mean, it was just all kinds of stuff like about his family, about like all these ways, like all these occupations. He's had, I think he had been a doctor at some point.

He had been just all this stuff. And he also looked like he might be Santa Claus from what I remember. Like, so that's maybe on the roof. Yeah, maybe. He lives on the roof. He's no longer employed by McDonald's. They're not doing the same decorations. That's part of growing up though.

Every young man needs to just like sit and visit with a homeless man at McDonald's at midnight. I've done it. I've done Taco Bell's. Did a bus stop once. Just part of it. Just part of it. Two stories. First of all, it reminds me of the Packer Packers. Oh yeah. Classic story. And that was in the daytime too.

Yeah. We've talked about it plenty on the podcast in the past, but, uh, Packers. I wonder if you know that story, Timon, can you remember that? I remember that word, but I don't, I don't remember the context. Essentially long story short, one of our youth group kids. Isaac's older brother. Oh, cool. But it wasn't Isaac that had the shirt. It was Clayton. Oh, was it?

I was thinking it was Eli. Eli was there. OK. OK. Clayton had this shirt on that looked like Sprite, but it said like, Holy Spirit or whatever. You know, whatever. But Sprite, you know, green and yellow, same colors as the Packers.

So this guy just came up behind Clayton and just like started like tickling both of his sides and going, Hey Packers! And that this is when this one Eli really quickly intervened and was just like, hey, sir, sir, we're just going to keep our hands to ourselves. Like, was so calmly, like it was like he was ready for this to happen. Yeah, he was 17 years old, but he was like our trained and it showed, sir. Uh, we're just going to keep our hands for ourselves. It's 11 AM in McDonald's. Uh, that's awesome. And so that's just a great inside joke. Really? Like if you want funny stories to come from your life, just hang out with either Eli or Isaac McDonald and more McDonald's or at McDonald's.

Yeah. I was sitting at a McDonald's either yesterday or two days ago. I can't remember. And just doing some work, which is like one of those things where like, if you're annoyed with other people at McDonald's, when you're on your own laptop doing work, it's like, maybe it's your own fault for being at McDonald's. Trying to do work, go to library. It's like, yeah, maybe just don fault for being at McDonald's trying to do work. Go to the library.

It's like, yeah, maybe just don't have too high of expectations this place. But the worker there, there was a woman who seemed like she was like a manager or something. I don't really understand. But I could tell she had like enough credentials to not have to be like in the actual kitchen working. She thought that this was the most interesting thing

in the world. And I was like, ma'am, just chill out a little bit. Apparently, the story is this. This other guy from another McDonald's location called them and said, hey, do you guys have ketchup? We're all out of ketchup. Yeah, we have ketchup packets. Come on over.

I heard this story 15 different times, her tell all this story. She's telling it to her employees or to anyone who listens? Telling to employees, calling people about it, because this guy on the way over at 11 45, he called it 11 45, on the way over, he texted and said, hey, I'm gonna be a little bit late, I got pulled over. And that was at 11 45 that he called,

and it was 12 20 and he wasn't there yet. And she was acting like this guy was in prison for five years for this. She's just so worried. She's like, I don't even know if she truly was worried. That was what it was. It was more just like this gossipy like he got pulled over. So I don't know. Like I, so she's like calling all these different, Hey, have you heard from, have you heard from Darrell? Have you heard from Darrell? I mean, it was 1145 when he called to ask if we had more ketchup. And I said, yeah, we have some more ketchup. And then he came over to get some more ketchup. And he

told me he's got pulled over and I was, I mean, I don't know how long that should take to get pulled over. And I don't know. I don't know if we should go look for him. And so they're like looking out the window the whole time, like waiting for him to come by. She's like calling somebody else. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just kind of worried about this guy. So we had a lot of ketchup. They don't have any ketchup over there. I'm at this location. So he called, do we have any more ketchup?

I said, yes, we have more ketchup. That was 11.45. And now she's starting to embellish it. She's like, it was like 11.25 at this point. She's like, over an hour ago, he called. Well, then he texted me and said, hey, I just got swatted, so I'm going to be late. I don't know what you have to do to get swatted

by a whole SWAT team. Okay, this woman thought it was the most interesting story. She just hangs up with one person, calls the next person. Hey, just FYI, Darryl got pulled over. See ya, call the next person. Hey, Darryl sucks, see ya. Hey, fire Darryl, bye. You know that guy that I tried to date,

Darryl didn't want to date me? Yeah, well, he's going to jail now for life. Well, he was going 42 and a 35. School zone. Dude, it was, it was like she got off the phone, just waited 35 seconds, like looked out the window. I don't think he's coming. So here's what's crazy is that we have a lot,

we have a surplus of ketchup over here. The other people, they don't have ketchup. And so Darrell called and said, Hey, do you have any more ketchup? I said, yeah, we have some ketchup. It was just like- Yeah, there's some strife among those two McDonald's. And so finally in my head,

I was like so badly just being like, it's just don't worry, just wait for a little bit. Like I was so bothered by it. And my headphones were dead, like they never die. Like I have like these great Bluetooth headphones that die like once every three weeks and they had died right for that thing. Not during ketchup. So I just was like, I can't, I can't not hear this.

So I, I don't know. Last time I've been in a McDonald's, but I'm due. I need to get in one and just see what it's all about and just kind of see the, what do they make those tables out? Just lacquer. Just the whole thing is lacquer. I think maybe lacquer, huh? Is that a word?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the, like the film on top of it I like the fake. Yeah, I feel like that's what these tables are made out of dude They a few of them recently don't have drink machines anymore What do you do? I get to go you have to order right there and you have to get a refill I guess from them What like it's chilies all of a sudden it's yeah It's like very minimal like no like like not even like napkins or anything, like no station.

It's like the inside of a Tesla. Okay, what if we just did nothing on the inside? It is like the inside of a Tesla. It's exactly like it. And yeah, you go to certain ones and there's swastikas under the table. Maybe. Well, this is the full Tesla experience.

Fully, yeah, immersed. So. I saw more and more people in the Kansas City, Tesla, Facebook page group are like getting like spots to cause like keyed into the car and everything. And wow, it's happening. That's wild. Like, yeah, compared to like every other like incorporation that like, I'm sure there's people in those organizations that you don't agree with, but it's like, this is the one where we're going hard on it. Yeah, if we're gonna expect people to behave that way,

when I'm parked in a Chick-fil-A, regardless of my car, someone should sketch a cross into my car. Sure, yeah, yeah. Like, let's hold these companies accountable for what they stand for. Represent who you represent here, yeah. Yeah, so we'll see. If I had a Swastika drawn on my car.

You could just make it into something cool. Like a cube? Play tic-tac-toe, kinda? Yeah, tic-tac-toe. I could play the dots game. Yeah. Really expand it. Spiderweb.

Could you make it into one of those old school S's? Superman S, yeah, it could be done. Yeah. So. So, hope it happens. Hope it happens. Tyman, welcome back, man. Yeah. So so hope it happens Hope it happens. I mean welcome back man. Thanks people missed you Yeah, it's gonna be back and by missed you We mean that a lot of middle-aged women called you a heartthrob. Mm-hmm a lot

Dude a lot called you a heartthrob. He's appealing to their their crushes as you know, 90s 90s fanboy and quite literally they make their heart throb. Timon's hair does. Yeah, which is pretty cool. Or did it did. Yeah. Yeah, no longer.

Yeah. Talk about time. So I, I wasn't done with the middle part. I was enjoying myself. I wanted to go for longer, but I was, I was thinking, oh, like the sides and the back, like I had just kind of been growing it out in general. Sides in the back getting pretty shaggy. Didn't love the look of that.

I was like, I kind of want to have a little more clean cut look, but still like, you know, I have length on top to do the middle part. So I go, yesterday I go to a barber. I should have done more research on this barber. I think in hindsight, it was like more of an old-school barber shop, which oh like for Jamaican brothers No That's the old-school way. It's somebody Irish

Not not particularly, you know, I don't know what yes means I'm just kidding I but it was this like my hair was cut by just this old white guy and I but it was this like my hair was cut by just this old white guy and Like I asked for I wanted it super simple. I was like I just I've been making progress growing my hair out I just want like a little Short like like just like tapered up from like short on the sides short of the back I told him don't touch the top. I just said like In there, I just want to keep it and he was like, all right I'll give you taper on the sides and I'll just clean it up on top and I said I said I like, um, I just want to keep it. And he was like, all right, I'll give you taper on the sides and I'll just clean it

up on top. And I said, I said, I said, okay, I guess you can clean it up, but like be super careful with how much you take off. I was like, I'm, I kind of like it the way it is. You said that I did. Yeah. I like, I was, I felt pretty confident going into it. I was like, I think I said what I need to say, get what I want.

And then he just cut all my hair off. Dude, I've had this same experience. They don't listen. They don't. People who cut hair don't, and they love cutting off the top. Yeah. Because I like my top too. Yeah.

And I like you, I work hard. I made a lot of progress growing off the top. Right? Leave it alone. Yeah. All right, that's so annoying. I'm sorry, I empathize. Yeah, and so it kind of reset me.

So I was like wearing a hat before it. And so I like, my hair was kind of just fully back, which is why I was like, okay, that's fine because I'm not, I don't want the top even touched. Like I wasn't worried about it. And then like now, since it was kind of back like that, the way he cut it to be like short is now just like a bad version of a short haircut too.

So it just doesn't really work either way. The last haircut I got was at Lifetime Fitness and I'll skip to the end of the story. She did a great job, but halfway through she has completely combed all of my hair over to the opposite way. And now she's cutting from this side of it. And it looks like she's like styling my hair

like just opposite of how I've ever worn it. And I'm like getting nervous. I'm like, what did I say to give this impression? And so I just like, yeah, I'm like working up the courage. Like, that's not how I like it. Did you say that? There's something like, you know, eventually you just burst out of your, stop.

Wrong way, wrong way. Stop it. Ah, it hurts. Yeah, you're hurting me. You're hurting me. Like every time she's cutting and she's like, okay, yeah, yeah. You know, but yeah, I don't like that dynamic. Yeah.

Also, is this a common thing? He cut my entire hair. Like I was very deliberately turned away from a mirror. Dude, I don't like that at all. I don't like that either. It's like, what are you trying to hide? I want to like stop. Like, I don't know.

Cause I kept gaslighting myself into being like, I mean, okay, it feels like cutting off quite a bit, but it probably just feels like that. Right. He said clean it up. Like that's just cleaning it a little bit. Yes. You see how much hair is on your little skirt. Dude, that exactly. I was like, I was like, yeah, if I move my head down to look at it, does that imply that I'm like not okay with what he's doing? Which is like true.

But I'm like, I don't want to be like, oh, this is way too much. Yeah. You're taking it from your chest. And even once I saw it, even after the reveal, when my, when my head is going like, this is, this is not at all what I wanted. I'm just like tricking myself and I'm like, that's, this will be fine. Like, and I tip him. Why I tip him. He didn't deserve a tip. I don't know. I'm with you. Is there ever like, like, do you ever feel like maybe I guess if you're not being able to see yourself in the mirror, but if you're able to see yourself in the mirror while you're getting your haircut, do you ever have those times where it's like, Oh, it looks great. And then they keep cutting for another five minutes. Dang it. It stopped him. Yeah. Like it's like, Oh, I think it's

good. And then they're like, all right, I'm just gonna blend some stuff up or whatever. They blend and then it's like, whoops. Would have liked it before. Yeah. I wonder if these hair cut or hair, what are they called? Hair cutters. Hair cutters.

Scissors. What are you, what are you? Yeah, the scissors. I wonder if the scissors feel like, hey, we're charging $50. We need this to last 30 minutes. Is that how much you pay? I think that's how much lifetime was. I think it's how much scissors and scotches. That's a lot. Yeah. A lot for me to be unhappy. Yeah. Um,

how much you pay? I think I paid 28, but I tipped him. So I paid like 33, but I tipped him. I tipped the guy 50 50s. Yeah, you better. You better get a good experience out of that. And I think I'm more like, just get the job done. Just get it done great. I don't care how quickly you mow my lawn, as long as it looks good. Yeah, yeah, almost like we're good, yeah.

How much conversation do you guys like when your hair is being cut? Now that I'm like friends with my barber, first of all, Clint the barber, guys, go check him out. I'm convinced. with my barber first of all Clint the barber guys go check them out. I'm convinced okay Got it. I should I think I usually give him 35 total is he old school like timon's guy Timon As you were telling this story I was like you should have gone to Clint Clint it has like two sons like your age and so it's like and they have

Cool-looking hair. Yeah, they have Riz Tons of Riz. Clint has Riz. Clint is like a 45, 50 year old, I don't know how old he is. Has way more Riz than we will ever have. Wow. The Clisler. Yeah, very much so.

So anyway, but now that we're friends, we do have good conversation. Yeah. But like it's never, it's like great because it's like, we are comfortable enough with each other that it's never forced conversation. Like sometimes it's like we are comfortable enough with each other that's never forced conversation. Like sometimes it's like five, 10 minutes of nothing.

And it's not like, what do I need to say to Clint? What do I need to, you know. Whereas like new person, I could very much take or leave a conversation. Yeah. How about you? I think, I mean, getting your haircut is kind of relaxing. And I think, I'm not super strong opinionated,

but I would prefer, I think, no talk. It just let me just think and enjoy it. It's like a massage. And especially sometimes if the woman cutting my hair has a tattoo sleeve and a septum piercing, it's like, I don't know. I'm gonna judge a book by cover here. And she's not gonna know who Nate Barghazi is.

We're not gonna have a book by cover here. And like, she's not gonna know who Nate Bargatze is. And you know, we're not gonna like have a ton to talk about. She's not, you know, super regular on the pickleball. She doesn't play pickleball, yeah. But you know, I'll still talk to her wall. It's still fine. Sure. I think I like silence. Yeah, there was, I had the conversation with Garrett Gibson the other day about this.

And he was talking about, he's like, yeah, I go to Noggins someplace, at least some. He's like, Noggins is great because they don't talk to you. Like you can say like, I do not want you to talk to me. And so he's like the whole time. And then another guy that was in the conversation too was like, dude, I go to her at Noggins too. She's awesome.

She doesn't say a word. Yeah, she's always doing these weird hand signals. Yeah. But she's good with her hands. She's great at it. Good with the hair cutters these weird hand signals. Yeah. But she's good with her hands. She's great at it. Good with the hair cutters. Yeah. So.

Yeah. I'm sorry, Ty, that you had a tough experience. It's all good. Did your guys still, did he like shave the back of your neck? He did. That was the first time I've ever actually had that happen. See, that's nice. I like that.

Yeah, that's nice. I go to Great Clips and my mom, Brad. That's all I've done. All right, all right, all right. Great Clips has never done that. So I did did like that part that was when I was like, okay Well if he's doing that that feels so nice. That's like surely he did a good job on the rest I had a straight razor. I think that's what he did. Yeah, like a real based on feeling it felt like a straight razor I was gonna say I feel like every hair cutter does like they'll take like some shears to your neck at least

I see the straight razor is nice. That's like next level. That hair won't grow back for. There's some warm shaving cream. Oh yeah, it's like that. I think they put country croc on the back of your neck. You can smell it. Yeah.

Like when you said you smelled like bread behind your ears, like you probably just got it shaved very soon. That's what it is. It's just, yeah. Oh, that's nice. Forgot that I had that bread thing. Yeah, you all better? All better. No more bread. It Yeah, you all better? All better.

No more bread. As far as I know. Good. I met your aunt and uncle last Thursday. Yes. It feels like it's been a lifetime since we last recorded the podcast. But yeah, I did a little comedy gig

at Brad's uncle's church, dude, it was so great. Everyone was super nice. It was a great church. Really liked it. How old is your uncle? Oh, 60 something. It was very fun hearing him try to describe

to other people what we do. Okay. You know, like it probably would be difficult for most 60 year olds, but you know, he's like kind of introducing me to some other people at church. Hey, I want you to meet Jake. He's the one, he's the performer tonight.

My nephew and he, they do, they have a comedy act that they do. And it's called the Ghost Runners Comedy Act. And anyway, it's a real hoot. And I'm like, that's so great. And like, to the people he's describing it to, that probably is the perfect way to describe it. Comedy act, yeah. Yeah, I think like a weekly podcast

is almost too confusing. Yeah, and they hear podcasts, they're like, well, they say that our sermons are turned into podcasts. So it's like a- What stations it on. Yeah, right. But yeah, it was like the Ghost Runner Comedy Act, them two.

Abbey Costello over there. I like the Comedy Act. Description. Yeah, so did you think that my aunt looked a lot like my mom? Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was awesome. People say that a lot. Yeah. Did you feel like she acted like her? I didn't talk to her nearly as much as I talked to your uncle. Yeah. But she was real great, real sweet, real bubbly. She's great. Yeah. I liked her a lot. Yeah. I had a good time with a lot of people at the church. Shannon, you know, she loved the bidet stuff, crushed. I think a lot of people in that church have bidets. Seriously, I don't know.

Like, I've never seen a crush like that. There was a guy named Price who I met backstage. Do you know Price? I don't know, not that I can recall. Nice guy, guy in his 50s. And he was like, I'm the one introducing you tonight. What do you want me to say? I was like, I, if anything under promise, over deliver.

You don't have to say anything. Just as long as they know it's gonna be comedy. That's my big thing. Just so they know it's not a sermon or something. He's like, oh, they'll know what's comedy. Like I'm opening up for you. I was like, oh, cool. I didn't know you were a comedian.

I just thought you worked here. And he's like, no, I volunteer at the church and I give like the announcements. This is about to be my first like time ever doing comedy. I was like, dude, that's a big deal. This is a big step. And he goes, he was like holding his heart. He's like, I am well aware.

He was like so nervous. He was feeling it. Yeah, he's like, I know it's a big deal. And so I was like, dude, I've been here. I know exactly what we're going through. I'm not gonna talk to you until it's over. And he's like, I know it's a big deal. And so I was like, dude, I've been here. I know exactly what we're going through. I'm not gonna talk to you until it's over. And he's like, thank you so much. And so anyway, he did a good job.

It's tough, first time doing comedy and he did 15 minutes. Oh wow. And I think he went over. I mean, he did 17, 18, he was feeling it. So yeah, he got him warmed up and then I went out there and yeah, it was good gig. About 200 people there. Yeah. You know, smaller church, but.

45 minutes? Yeah, I went for probably like 48 or so, I think, when I got done. So they were a great crowd, they loved it. How was the news? You said you had some new stuff. Oh yeah, that's right. Thermostats maybe or something?

Yeah, I would say 75% of it worked well. They really liked, gosh, it feels like forever ago. I can't even remember now. I did a lot more jokes about Rachel and feeding me and all the fresh produce and everything. A joke that got a huge laugh was, oh, it's a story told in the podcast. Like this is a real thing that happened,

I don't know, a year ago or so, Rachel made me dinner and she was like, what did you think of it? And I was like, it was good. And she's like, no, I want to know each, like, not item, what is it? Each food, like what did you think of it? And I was like, it was good. And she's like, no, I want to know each, like, not item, what is it? Each food, like what did you think of it? And I was like, I thought that seasoning on the chicken was great.

If, you know, quinoa was good. If you're looking for some like constructive criticism, I did think the green broccoli was better than the white broccoli. And you know, that already starts to get a little laugh. And then she was like, cauliflower? I was like, call it whatever you want. Cauliflower is probably why it tasted so bad.

Yeah. They liked that. Yeah, they liked that. And a lot of the stuff about produce and I can't even remember it now. It's stuff about this house being old, they liked that. So yeah, most of it went well. Good.

So that was fun. That was refreshing and fun to get to perform. So yeah, and then it just got crazy after that. I think Thursday we recorded all day, comedy show. And then Friday was last day of Trey's movie with time. And then we went straight into like the guys weekend. So it's just been crazy. Let's talk about the movie.

I want to hear about the movie and then we can talk about guys weekend. Yeah. El Capitaz. Try to like... Let me see if I can find my note. I tried to write down any interesting things that happened. Didn't write down as much as I wanted, but yeah. I think as a whole, it went well.

I think I, but before going into it, I was like, I don't know if I'm qualified for this. And it was like, I realized pretty quickly, oh, this is like a team effort. We're all just figuring stuff out. It wasn't quite as like, to want to say like negative. It wasn't quite as like, oh, I'm just like coming on board this super high production like thing. It was like, okay, we're all kind of, yeah, there wasn't like a hierarchy

and stuff, but it was good. How many guys were there? Five most of the time. It was like Trey, Derek, me, Zach and Mikey. Okay. I was like the crew and also the cast of most scenes. Oh, so were you in it? No, I like, I'm saying like, yeah, Trey, Trey was the cast of most scenes we shot and then, um, Mikey was in some. Okay. I like, I make, I make a small cameo as an Uber driver. Um, I don't have like lines, but it's part of the story. Oh, I miss that. Put time in there, the Uber.

But yeah, it was just like they needed like a car and a person to like be just like kind of in the background as the Uber driver. So I stepped in. All right. See need fill a need. Yeah, but things are right. We're down.

Zach turned 18, like during filming, which was fun Zach also fell asleep during filming. Yeah on the last day. I have a video of it. We'll put it up here Yeah, there's about 45 extras on set. We're all screaming sharing. It's a cherry pie 5k Zach's just asleep in the middle of filming There's certain guys that can just do that and Zach doesn't surprise me that Zach's just like yeah, I'm good I can fall asleep right now. I asked him afterwards, I was like, is Zach like really embarrassed? Like, oh my gosh, I fell asleep. I'm never gonna get hired again.

Or like, how does he handle that? And you were like, no, he's cool. No, I think he just like, thought it was funny. I mean, I think he just realized he was like, I don't think that I'm needed right now. I'm really tired. I'll just fall, I'll just go to sleep. That's what I'm saying. Like anybody that just fall. I'll just go to sleep.

That's what I'm saying. Like anybody that can fall asleep like that is probably not also worried about it. Yeah. All on the clock. Yeah. So yeah, he turned 18 like the second day filming. That was fun.

We went and like saw the Minecraft movie together because it came out on his birthday. It was just like a fun thing. Have you seen anything about that? We got to see this together. You got I heard there was some Something on a zombie baby on a horse. Yeah, that's all I know. Yep. Yeah I big deal blocks and fight roblox and Jack Black Jack Black. Yeah, we dressed up in suits to go just to be silly Yeah

Honestly, I was like not the target. I've played Minecraft like three times in my life, but I enjoyed myself. It was, it was a pretty funny movie. Okay. Yeah. Uh, five stars for the, for the bit, but it was more of a two and a half. Honestly, it was kind of a five star experience. Like the entire theater was like going crazy for everything. It was awesome.

That was like, it was like manufactured going crazy or they were truly... No, no. It felt pretty genuine. Like I think a lot of it came from like memes and stuff being like popular beforehand. And it was like anytime a line from the trailer was said, you had to like, like everyone cheered, but it felt pretty genuine. It was fun. It was a great time. That's cool. Cool. And I said, what about breakfast at Tariff Nees?

I said, I think I. What's that Ed Sheeran song? Tariff Nees-y? Yeah. It's about tariffs too. Tariff Nees-y. Tariff Nees-y. I'll tell you one company doesn't have to worry

about the Tariff Nees-y or anything being terrifying or anything, or having breakfast at Tariff Nees. Tariff Nees, yeah, what? Good Ranchers. Whaley.ee's, yeah, what? Good ranchers. Whaley. No way. Oh, really? Don't have to worry about tariffs

when you don't worry about China. Nope. When you make all your stuff here in the United States. It is nice to know like, hey, they're truly American meat delivered. They're worried about America. They're not worried about China. That's a point. It'd be a bad look for the past two years.

We've said, hey, get it. It's all American sourced. And they're like, oh, their prices are going up all of a sudden. That's weird. That's weird. Yeah. Well, I'm sure it's just because of the freight. The freight. Splendor thing on freight. Oh, it's free.

Ocean freight. Big freight could be freighting industry. Yeah. Hey, Good Ranchers protects you from tariffs, protects you from food waste, and protects you from increasing costs because it's 100% American meat delivered straight to your door or your porch.

Gang out. Yeah, what else? Oh, this was like probably the biggest like story from filming, which I think you heard some of this. Um, we were filming. There's these scenes at a sinkhole, quote unquote, but it's, it's like this kind of collapsed building in Liberty. But in the story, it's a sinkhole. And so- Christmas Eve, all the cherry pies are ruined. Because they were being stored where the sinkhole happened. Yeah, what are the odds? That's like that. Yeah

Yeah, it's gonna be a tearjerker But we're filming like at the sinkhole like kind of on the sidewalk Beside where this like collapsed building is and so then I think one of us had this idea for oh,, let's get a shot from inside the sinkhole. Like, I keep saying sinkhole. It's not, but you get it. POV, you're a sinkhole. Right.

It's kind of the emotional side of it, from the perspective of the sinkhole didn't mean to do it. You got to. Yeah, and so we kind of make the trek into this lower down area. We're setting up a tripod. We're starting to film some lines from this angle. And this guy comes up like, you guys know

this is private property, right? And then we all just kind of like look to Derek. And Derek's like, yeah, we have permission to film here. I'm pretty sure. And the guy's like, well, the owner didn't know about this and he's on his way. And then we're just like, okay, yeah, we should just get out of here, right?

This is not, so we kind of start to make make our way. I know we're all just like, like we think we thought Derek had this figured out, but maybe not. And so then we're like starting to make our way out of it. Um, and then it's like pretty quick after this guy like has talked to us, the owner comes in just like, he storms up, he like pulls in and he's like, I've never seen just like a stranger this mad before I don't think he's like he's just like pay me a picture Yeah, I was gonna say Cars he got what how I pulling up. What's he look like it was it was enough of a moment of panic I don't remember that much about it. I think like I what are you seeing your trade described him as Wayne Newton

He was like an older guy with Botox and Prada sunglasses. He seemed like a Wayne Newton. Fake, polished. Not Wayne Brady. I was thinking Wayne Brady. Yeah, Wayne Newton, Wayne Newton. Old guy. What I remember is slick gelled hair, probably trying to look younger than he is type, but

just like, I think he was dressed nice, probably in a nice car, but he just comes in like, what are you guys doing? I kind of wrote down what he's like, what are you guys doing? Like, like, um, I kind of wrote down what he's like, what are you guys doing? We're all like, again, like looking to Derek, like, and then Derek is, I think, trying to call Greg, who's the mayor of the town. Oh, gotta get the mayor involved. Cause I think Greg is who had said, yeah, film whatever, wherever in Liberty. Like that's great. And so Derek is kind of the mayor just like, just gives carte blanche to every, like, Yeah, I know.

Yeah. Anywhere you want, buddy. Go in people's houses. Yeah. So as Derek is kind of like, um, I don't think deliberately, I think Derek's fighter flight is very much, I mean, he's not really sure what to do. So he's kind of not answering this guy. And this guy's just getting more and more angry. He's like, he's like, I'm going to start, I need some answers right now. Or like, I'm going to, I don't know what he was like threatening to do, but he was like, you guys need to like, what are you doing here? And we're all like, we don't want to take credit for it because it's like Derek, tell him. Yeah. Derek, tell him. And then I think eventually I kind of piped up like, where's from like a comedy skit type thing. I'm trying to like

diminish what it is kind of. And he's like, Oh, okay. You guys have fun. That's totally fine. And he just like walked away and then all the world is like, what? Like, and then we, Derek later explained, apparently this, this pit has been like super controversial and there's all this like, I think there's been like parks and lawsuits over like who owns it and who, I mean what they're going to do with it. And so our best guess is this guy thought we were like maybe doing some kind of news story that might paint it in a bad light. And that's why he was so ticked off. But it was so it was really scary. Really?

I did not enjoy it at all. Everyone who is there says like they've never seen someone deescalate so quickly like went from a hundred to like it's comedy skit. Oh my gosh. Well, you guys have fun. Have a blessed day. I know. Like it was crazy screaming at them to not. Wow.

I wish I could have been there that day. Yeah, it was wild. I love that you were the one that spoke out of time and out of, you know, thanks. The five guys there, the teenagers like, you know what? Yeah. It's just, it's just a little comedy thing. Yeah. Good for you, man. Thanks. That's yeah. Just so it's just like this abandoned building, abandoned pit, but there's no building there anymore. I think it like a building fell down. There's no building there now.

It's just like a big dirt pit kind of. So it's strange. Yeah, but it's a sinkhole though. I don't know how much it'll look like one in the movie, but it's the best we could find. Yeah. So that's Kansas City has, okay. Right.

We don't just have sinkholes lying around. Yeah. Otherwise movie stuff. I mean, one thing that kind of switched up the dynamic halfway through filming, the first several days we were filming with this piece of equipment called a Fisher dolly, which is like this big, like they use it on big shoots to get just

like smooth shots or whatever. But it also, when you don't have a large crew to handle it, it ends up adding more time. So I think about like four days in we decided okay our next two or three days are way more intense schedule wise So we're just gonna like get rid of that and just get it as quick as we can okay And I think it ended up working really well because the first four days we did have less to film so it was okay And then the last three days we would not have been able to get it done Really if we had used that so it turned out turn it well. It's good. How many characters does trade us to two characters. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah he's the male and female lead and then

Actors wise it was just Jake and then Scott Nancy. Yeah, I think that's basically it. Yeah How was it for you? I loved it. I just got to come in You know, there's I I think this most recent Friday, I get stopped by a train on my way there and it's like 45 minutes away. And then I get, there was like an accident right in front of me. So then I'm in standstill traffic. And then, oh, I almost got pulled over.

I was like, I can't get pulled over after all this. Yeah. Come on, my plates are good now. I didn't, but he just like followed me for three miles. So I show up like 20 minutes, and I go from my car to shooting a scene in 90 seconds. I mean, maybe, it was like, I'm there, they're all set up for me.

Zach was currently standing in for me. He's like, all right, you're right here. I just got in position, Trey starts reading me my lines, and I'm acting immediately as soon as I got there. So it very much still feels like a YouTube video at times, like very running gun, but with more creative liberty to like say whatever I want a little bit. Like I'm gonna do my line twice,

how what Trey tells me to say. And then the third time I'll say something completely random or I'll just add onto it a bunch of stuff that you would do a good job of when we would make YouTube videos. Okay, yeah. Cause it's kind of like- So you have to memorize lines or is it- I'm not editing it.

Or you just throw them to you? No, just one by one. Rarely did I have a line longer than two sentences. Okay. And so, and when I did, it was like crazy long, but it didn't matter. It was like, all right, try to say like these six sentences and just get close.

Yeah. All right. But no, I enjoyed it. I mean, it was fun. I just get to play the comedic relief. So I get to come in and screw around and yeah, my lines aren't serious. I don't have any dynamic. Yeah. Like my character is just like no character arc kind of on the spectrum. And so I was fun. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It might've been because I was watching love on the spectrum when we were filming. Yeah, it was a, it was a, you know, creative liberty I took, but yeah, we'll see how it turns out. You were cracking me up that Friday. I didn't want to admit it, but I was definitely-

You didn't want to admit it. No, no, no. I was obviously laughing at you. I hate to tell you this. I'm so sorry, man, but I found you funny. No, I think at one point I was like, it was kind of past where everyone else was laughing and you were just saying something else just like

Random and I was like behind Derek like tears coming out of my eyes But I was like I don't like it's probably not that funny So I don't want to be like the weird guy who's like still laughing. It was it was great. That's funny That's a huge compliment though. Cuz like you're around Jake a lot. It's not like yeah, it's not like I just have never around this guy He's actually like he is in real life. This is brand new to me. Yeah, it's like, no, he actually thinks this is funny. Yeah, you're great. Thanks.

Yeah, something about playing a character. Yeah, it does like, you say just different things you normally say and yeah, it's just fun. So what was your character? Like, what did he? I'm Trey's little brother. And so there's sometimes where I think I'm kind of like, I'll do anything for my big bro and I'll help him out,

but I'm just like a strange person. You know, there's some line where like, a thousand cherry pies by tomorrow? That's like an impossible mission. And just out of nowhere I go, freaking love Tom Cruise. You know, just like weird stuff like that. Like I'm just not super adjusted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. Like I'm just not super adjusted. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's great. And I don't know what else. I just, we make a lot of pastry puns. A lot of pastry puns. Yeah. You know, you're talking like some guy comes in who we don't like, me and Trey are just going back and forth. That was fun.

I mean, we just ad-libbed for 15 straight minutes on just pastry puns, just off the top of the dome. You're talking, Chibatta trash right now, dude. I'm not your biggest flan. You're putting me over the edge. I mean, just any like dessert really. I don't wanna hear muffin out of your mouth, so it's fun. That's good.

Yeah, we had a good time. It was fun. I know I didn't have to do that much work, so I was like, we should do this more, guys. This is fun. This is easy. You guys should pay me more to just show up and be funny and leave. Yeah, how did it compare to what you thought it So I was like, we should do this more guys. This is fun. This is easy. You guys should pay me more to just show them, be funny and leave.

Yeah. How did it compare to what you thought it was going to be like, Tyman? I think it was pretty close. I don't know. I think I knew it would be pretty intense because you don't typically shoot movies in like a week. And so I was pretty expected. I expected that, but yeah, I think it went maybe Maybe even better like as far as like me and Zach's role. I think it went great. I think we like Ended up, you know, I mean when you have a crew of like four people everyone's doing a lot of jobs So I think I'm just like yeah, there was pretty good at like seeing needs and filling them I think it worked. No one was the director. So I think that's kind of interesting. They're all everyone's kind of directing I think next time we should have a director.

I think towards the end, Trey, like, I think maybe realized more, like, I should be a little more on top of like, let's get this all figured out. Like more so than the first few days. But yeah, it was good. But next time there should be like a, I think, an elected director of like the whole thing.

Two days ago, Tyman and I were shooting some pickleball stuff and I was like, do you think you can knock out this and this? And Tyman was like, oh, compared to the last two weeks, I will never feel busy again. Yeah, that's great. It all is perspective, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That's great. So it was fun. Also two days ago, we shot with Morgan Noonan from Girls Gone Mild. First time I seen her in a year or two. It was great. Scott's words, once she left, Scott,

the first thing Scott said was, when she first showed up, I thought she was in character. And then I realized that's just who she is. That's just her personality. Yeah, so she was great. What was her, what did you do with her? So, you know, occasionally I'll write a video that like involves a female.

Most of the time, Rachel can fill the role, no problem. But these were like, this is gonna take a little more dramatic, you know, it's just like, this is more for Morgan than it is Rachel. So one was just like a bachelorette spoof. It was like, Morgan will be great, be super emotional, freaking out, crying, screaming.

And then I wrote another one, just like when she's a perfect 10, but her duper's a 2.0 or something like that, which is a perfect 10, but a 2.0 in pickleball. And Morgan is so uncoordinated that it was easy. It wasn't even like, hey, try to like serve it into the net. It was like, Morgan, just play ball. Just give us your best.

Because she's such a good dancer, you'd think like she would have some kind of coordination. And she's probably, she's coordinated, average pickleball. But yeah, hasn't played much pickleball. I even wrote a line, I'm doing like a talking head over to the side. And I'm like, at first we just thought she was messing with us,

like ha ha, she's so bad, but she literally doesn't know her dominant hand. I get done saying that line, and Margaret goes, okay, that's funny you say that, I actually have trouble with that. Like, this is so perfect. Of course you do. Yeah, it was great.

What'd you think, Tyman? I thought she was really funny. I mean, she kind of- I mean, so many times, just like in one take, like, oh, that was perfect. That was really funny. Yeah, yeah. She crushed it, yeah.- So many times, just like in one take, like, oh, that was perfect. That was really funny. Yeah, yeah. She crushed it, yeah.

It's kind of a pro. It was kind of like, oh, there's no warmup. There's no, it's like, ah, I'm a little rusty. Or just like, say this, do take it, do it better than I said it. Just go for it, yeah. Great. So, yeah, that was fun.

Always, there's a little new energy when someone else is there. And yeah, it's great. Yeah, we're really just trying to crank this week. So as soon as we're done today, Timon and I, and Scott and Isaac, I rented like an indoor like studio for four hours and tomorrow we also have four hours booked to shoot. So put El Capitas, you know.

Oh yeah, you're a lighting guy in a movie. What about paddle promo? Can you handle that? Yeah, talk about all the things you, I mean, you talk about you're so busy right now. I mean, yeah, it's just like anytime, you know, I'm going on family vacation this upcoming week and then, you know, 11 days or whatever that is in Asia.

So it's like when you're in high school and like, when you're sick, you get punished twice because like, yeah, you're sick and then you have to make up your homework. Yeah. It's like, anyone knows that, but you know, just like, you got a lot of things on your plate and then you go on vacation. You got to make up your homework. Yeah. It's like anyone knows that. But you know, just like you got a lot of things on your plate and then you go on vacation.

You got to double up somewhere. Will you feel, do you think, I mean, I'm sure in Florida you'll feel like you have time to relax. Right. Yeah. But like, will Asia feel more like work or more like play? Do you think? Dude, who knows?

I know. What does Asia feel like? I'm trying to gauge like, as far as like maybe just the emotional side. And maybe it's like you haven't even gotten there yet in your mind but like in my head it's like are you gonna feel like this like oh once I'm on that plane like I can breathe a little bit or is it like once I'm on that plane I got a million things I gotta think about what I have to do next once we get off the plate. Here's what I'm somewhat anticipating. I think we've been jokingly saying, what is it? Yachtavo, you only go to Vietnam once or something dumb like that, you know? Hey, should we, it's 200 bucks for this thing. Hey, Y-O-G-V-T-O, come on.

I think part of that is true though, as far as like when it comes to content, it's like, I really want to like milk this for all it's worth. Like we are going to China in the middle of like the US and China not getting along in a really bad way. Well, they even know you're American though. That's true. I could blend in.

People say you have a Chinese nose. I have Chinese ears. People say you have Chinese ears. We're calling you Chinese ear. And so it's just like, it feels like there's opportunities. Like I want to maximize the content and just like, the Instagram stories and just taking people along with it. I want to make sure I don't come back with regrets of like,

I should have filmed this, I should have made this little piece. So I think I'll be like laser focused on just like things there. Whereas like Florida, I think it's easier to probably be distracted of like, I'm on the beach right now, but I still have my phone and it's buzzing and someone I think it's easier to probably be distracted of like, I'm on the beach right now, but I still have my phone

and it's buzzing and someone wants me to do something. It's gonna be hard to be like, all right, don't do that right now. But who knows, dude? I also might be puking my guts out in China because I've had bok choy and hot dogs for the last two meals, you know, who knows? Do you know what bok choy is?

Nope. Is that the one with noodles? No way of knowing. No way of knowing, not yet. I think bok choy is pretty good. Yeah, it's a plant. Oh, nevermind. Bok choy or pak chow or pak choy

is a type of Chinese cabbage. I got kind of lucky there. Oh, okay. Chinese cabbage. Cabbage, no thanks. Not that great. No. I had my first Brazil night yesterday. What do cabbage, no thanks. Not that great. No. I had my first Brazil night yesterday.

What do you know about those? Not, nothing. Yeah. Macadamia night, is that Brazilian? Trey and Katie thought I was some sort of Neanderthal. Trey and Katie could get over it with their $100 reservations for restaurants. Yeah, I mean, they were like,

Trey was like complimenting me while also insulting me. He's like, dude, you are like so good at trivia. You know so much about everything and you've never heard of a Brazil nut. I'm sorry. Trey's from Edmond, Oklahoma. All right. I don't know Brazil nuts.

And Derek's like, I've never heard of them in my life. And they keep quizzing people and- I've heard of them, but like- I'm sure it's come across my eyes at some point, but yeah, I don't know what they are. Are they big? They're big. Like most Brazilian things.

I'm thinking of, yeah, Brazilian, yeah, big. Yeah, I had it yesterday. It's at the bottom of the mixed nuts. Just, were they just by themselves in a bowl? Or is it like, how big is this thing? Like, you just like, hey, do you want one Brazil nut? Well, it turns out Rachel takes them, not takes them, eats them.

She had some at the house. But yeah, they're big, but they're pretty bland. They're fine, but they're just bland. You know, compared to like a cashew or a peanut. I think these are in like mixed nuts, maybe. Yeah, they might find their way in there. They're big boys. No, yeah, they're find their way in there. They're big boys. No Yeah, they're the worst ones. Yep. They're the worst ones. Yeah, no one no one is excited about that

It's like give me the cashews and the almonds and everything else. Yep That's so there's that okay bok choy. You'll be fine I yeah, I'm sure you'll find like one lane as far as like what to eat and just eat that I've already looked at the McDonald's menu in China and they have like drumsticks, like bone-in chicken and stuff like that. It's kind of fun. You get after it.

Cool. So I have that if nothing else. We're staying at the DoubleTree. So they got chocolate chip cookies. Yeah, that'll be awesome. So there's that. Do you have like a Chinese person that's like hosting you there?

Yeah, our manufacturer is gonna like really hold our hand and drive us around and hang out with us the whole time. So that should be nice. Oh dude, this is so funny. I mean, it'd be better if Isaac was here to talk about it. He is now on his fourth try. And I'm not exaggerating of trying to get his name right on his visa application. And none of that is made up. It comes down to the name.

So I think the first two times he struggled with like surname versus given name, maybe got him backwards. Okay, so that's not like, okay. But then more recently, I'm like, here's exactly what I did. I did triplet and on the second line, I did Jacob Garland. He's like, okay, okay, I'll try that. Cause the first time he did McDonald, Matthew Isaac.

He did middle name and his first name. I think that's what he did the first time. And then I don't remember where he did the second time. But this is actually annoying though. This stinks for him. So because his last name is McDonald and the D is capitalized, on his passport, he said it's like M, C, and then there's a carrot for D and then

Noddle. Weird. And so that is the issue. He's like, do I put the carrot? No. He's trying to figure it out. I don't know what he's tried to what he hasn't tried, but you know, to me, it doesn't seem like they would care that much about capital or lowercase. You know, I don't know. He's on his fourth try. I feel like a lot of times like passports and stuff. I feel like it's just all uppercase or something like that. You know, like, like, yeah, typically they are. But in his case, because it's a lowercase D capital D, it's weird. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But I'm glad I so I have my visa. Matt texted yesterday. Just got an email, got my visa. And Isaac was like, dude, that's so impressive.

You spelled your name right. Because I am on my fourth try. So hopefully he's good to go. Oh man. But yeah, the Chinese visa, we rearranged our flights. I think I talked about that last week. I think we're good there. So yeah, we'll see.

But it's just a busy week trying to get everything. Cause the new paddle we've been testing forever. It like comes out basically when I get back from Asia So it's like we got to shoot all of it now. Oh, yeah get all the done. So it's just been a lot of It's been really fulfilling and fun though. I think more recently I've been trying to I don't know if you ever get this way whether it's within our dynamic or any other like Jobs or things you have but like I think a lot of time, social media, I'm in charge and I run in my own lane and I do what we want to do.

But when it comes to like the business side of it, I very much like, Matt, Andre, whatever you want me to do, like, you let me know what kind of ads you want, I'll do it. And more recently I've been like, all right, Jake, pretend this is your company and it's all yours. How would you, like, you have skills, you have talents.

Like, don't just be looking to like get direction. Like what would you do if you were launching your first paddle over here? How would you launch it? How would you promo it? And that's been like a cool, like learning just point. And just like more fulfilling that way. Like, yeah, take a little ownership.

Doing it my way. Oh, it's way better when you have like some skin or whatever personality in the game, not even skin in the game. Just like, rather than just like, I'll just do whatever you want me to do. That's kind of mine or like lifeless. I think especially when you have a lot of respect for someone, it's like you guys are so smart and you've made next to no bad decisions leading

this company. So like, keep telling me what to do. That's great. But at the same time recognizing like, Hey, I've grown businesses before. I know a little something about video creation. Like what would you do? Yeah. Have some confidence in yourself of like, Hey, I've grown businesses before. I know a little something about video creation. Like what would you do? Yeah. Have some confidence in yourself of like, Hey, I, I know I'm not like, like so often, I think I like backstep and I'm like, I, I know I haven't ever like ran a YouTube channel like you guys have, but like, you know what?

And it's like, no, no, but you're, you're funny still. Like you know what you're doing. Like people like you, like whatever, you you know what humor is like or whatever like Maybe we should do this. I don't know. Yeah, you're kind of the guy Yeah, whatever so that's fun. So okay. Yeah big big paddle coming out big paddle. It's gonna be Twice as big We're gonna put a tariff on the size of the paddle. A hundred and twenty five percent bigger than most paddles.

That's good. That's actually kind of a funny joke. Should have done that for April fools. Crap. Dude, imagine doing the joke, but not be on April fools. Just for fun. Has it been done before? Yes.

But you can do it again. You can do it. Okay. Okay. Just, just be funny. Not on April fools. Hey, that's kind of the thing when I'm there at our manufacturers I'm like, hey, can you make me just a giant paddle real quick? How quick how hard is this like a drop biscuits from unsifted?

Yeah, and the over under was at one and a half. We we definitely thought there would be more The way we were playing baby Yeah, no, I thought it was a success I mean just even just not even for being somewhat in charge of it, but even just personally, I was like, I had fun. I got to know new people better. I mean, one of my highlights of the trip was probably like Sunday morning,

just like hanging out with Calvin and Joe around the breakfast table. Like we were some of the last people there and just chatting and yeah, so it was just good people. The swim, I'm pretty sure that was my idea, and boy did that suck. That was your idea. I just, I probably thought it was more of a,

my dad and his friends used to do this thing called the Iron Man. Right. It's not a real Iron Man, but they would get together, it was like a four day thing, where they would play all these events, and they would always do it like a swimming medley. It's like one person had to do backstroke and breaststroke,

and they would always talk so highly about it. I've just like, cause no one's good at swimming, but it just kind of funny and you know, no one has an advantage. Like no one ever practices this. And so I was like, that would be fun. We're at a pond. Yeah.

Yeah, that'd be fun. And I was like, we're gonna have good weather. I'll tell you when you don't have good weather is at 8 a.m. Correct. The air temperature was 40. I think the you when you don't have good weather, is at 8 a.m. Correct. The air temperature was 40. I think the water temperature was like 60. Yeah, a little cold. It's crazy how cold 60 degree water is.

Isn't that interesting? Like I was, I never got to a point where I liked it. My whole swim. Really? All I could think about was how cold the water was. That was like the only thing I didn't care about. Really? That's all I can think about.

I'm dying. This is so long. This is taking forever. My team sucks. Like, oh, yeah, we are. We are so far behind everybody else. So it's like, yeah, the water is like just the least of my worries. Yeah, that was it was my bad a little bit. I mean, it was still fun. We all kind of trauma bonded together over it. Isaac threw up. It was still fun. We all kind of trauma bonded together over it. Isaac threw up. But at the same time, I had an idea. I was like, if we did this next time, I think we could do things in the water

without making people kill themselves swimming. I want to get one of those big inflatables and Costco's always hanging them from the ceiling. When people show up, that's just already in the pond. And there's like an obstacle course in the water. That would be way more fun. I think. Obstacle course or like jousting or like.

King of the dock. That's what I was like. King it like have one team start up there And see how long they can last like give them like five different kinds of props or something Everyone else like is like like coming towards them now. That's fun You can like wager like I'd like to spend ten points, but I get like the yeah ball peen hammer. Yeah, so we Like an actual weapon. Yeah, one point for a pool noodle. Rock skipping's fun.

Yeah. That's a water-based activity. Anyway. Yeah, so we, like the very first day, well, the first night we get there, we do like an opening ceremony thing, which was really fun. That was another classic, just like,

go ahead, you talk about it. No, it was just, no, I don't know. Yeah. It was just, it was funny. Um, what about it? Just like the way people got introduced and the music and the microphone. Yeah. Um, but it was, uh, it was fun. I think everyone had a good time. Maybe everyone was given an opportunity to speak when you were. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, we were all gonna do a speech afterwards. Like, was that Gunner's idea? Always Gunner's idea. Like, this was like Gunner's like birthday weekend thing

initially, so it was like, everything was like, I don't know if that's Gunner's idea, so I don't know if I should crap on it too hard. Yeah, Gunner's got like, he was like, everyone send in their intro song. And then, so we didn't's who was on whose team yet And so that we had a microphone for this speaker It was like I think you could just probably yell louder than the speaker 20 guys around a campfire. Uh-huh. And

Yeah, trying to trying to coordinate, you know Whatever all these different things Calvin gets up there first to give his team He's like, all right my first guy that I picked we're like, oh, we're different things. Calvin gets up there first to give his team, he's like, all right, my first guy that I picked, and we're like, oh, we're going like draft order. He's like, no, no, no, it's random after this one. No, no, no, it's random after this one. We don't know, yeah. And then he goes up, you know, five minutes later.

All right, for my second pick, oh, it was your second, no, it's my second random pick, my second random pick. I don't know what you're talking about, yeah. So that was funny, guys, songs got mixed up. And so all these different things, uh, great. Uh, my favorite, uh, what's intro speech was from Peter. Uh, Peter goes, first of all, they were like, Gunners like 7am tomorrow. We're starting out. Uh, Peter's like 7am is a gift, you know, like, uh, I have two little kids at home. I never sleep until seven a.m. It's going to be amazing.

He's like, also, I'm really excited to be here. My wife has bought Epsom salt for when I get home in preparation for how sore I'm going to be, which is both hilarious and so true for Peter. Like, Peter's been an old man body forever. Like he's always been the kind of guy that's been sore always. You know, now that I think about it, for being put on on the spot a lot of guys did a good job with their speech I was impressed too. I think this is okay to say the podcast, but one of our friends Nick

Oh, I'll talk about him later Nick down at the dock or down the water our friend Nick It runs a newsletter in Kansas City if you live here Casey Daly check it out. Yeah You know, he gets put on the spot and he's like, well excited to be here My wife had a baby about five, six weeks ago for those who kind of know where we're at. I'm just saying I got a lot of pent up energy and I want to put that into, you know, spike ball this weekend.

That's kind of funny, you know? And then our buddy Joe gets up there a couple guys later and he's like, I'm 28, not married. I don't have kids. So Nick, if you think you have a lot of bent up energy. Imagine me. That was great. That was, that was a good joke. Just a nice one, two punch there.

Yeah. Yeah. That was a great joke. Good job, Joe. Yeah. So, and you know, like the songs, like Gunner just got so into like every one of his, his members songs. He let the music play for just 30 seconds while he danced.

And we were just sitting around the campfire. Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey baby. All right, Gunnar, you're doing your thing, man. Yeah. But it was fun. We all got our teams and we all split apart and do this little strategy session. And I think that's the stuff that, that's half the fun. I feel like if you're a guy, it's like, all right, who's going to do what?

How are we going to take these guys down? Oh, they don't have a golfer. We'll be fine, whatever. And so we strategizing and then yeah, the day got started the next day. So I had an idea to do like a punishment. So like, you're really incentivized not to come in last because if you come in last,

you have to like cook the next meal. Or if you came in last in this, you have to clean up the meal that we just had. But to start it off, it was like, we're not gonna tell anyone, but whoever arrives last, their team has to make breakfast. That was my team. We get up early, we start making breakfast.

And then Brad made the rest of the meals the rest of the day. Made them and cleaned them up. Dude, my team was so cheeks. It was too bad on paper. I mean, saw the predictions people thought you were gonna finish second first Third did you I? Never really gave it too much thought I guess to be honest, but I was predicted last I know give me a break Yeah, they were scared off by the mole removal or something. I guess I guess so. I don't know Yeah, my team was not good at anything Except for ping-pong we won one event, glide one ping pong by himself. It was really funny at the end of the night when we're all debriefing and you guys are

just like making fun of yourselves. I enjoyed that so much. You guys talking about the Valley that volleyball was for you guys. Yeah, there was, there was a moment with volleyball where I think we almost cannibalized each other. Like almost turned on each other of like, like not having fun anymore. Cause I mean, let's, let's just be real. Like I, well, first of all, I'm not the best athlete. I was probably the worst athlete out of all the guys. No. Okay. Maybe, maybe not. Whatever. I knew I wasn't going to be the strong suit in the

group. And then I look at my team immediately. I was like, we are in trouble. Like we just, what are we going to do here? And I was already like, I, I had been struggling like last week when we record, I was starting to feel a little bit. And so I was like, ah, I don't know. Like, like part of me was like, should I even go this weekend? And I was like, I feel really bad. People have been like, it's like 20 people. Like, it's like a big deal. Like everyone's got even teams. I was like, I'm just going to go.

And I'm like, we are, we are going to struggle on this team. And, and so like football, we held our own. Everyone's like, we lost every game, no doubt. But we like at least fought a little bit. It wasn't a blowout. No, they were close. There was, there was some, you know, times where it was like, oh, if one little thing would have gone better, we could have maybe won something there. Volleyball. I was like, there's no way there's there's, I can just tell right now we're just, and eventually we got to like, like to passive with it. We're just like balls

would just hit on the ground and people just be like well all right whatever next point I guess it's like when you hear about like bad marriages it's like you don't even want to fight anymore no I don't care to fight anymore now is you guys in volleyball I don't know if we ever had the passion to fight like like I think we were all too nice like the first night we were strategizing everyone was like I mean I don't know I'm okay I'm okay at that and glide finally goes finally goes, Hey, let's have some, let's have some confidence. Let's have some confidence in them. That's what I knew. Like at the right at the beginning, I was like, none of us we're going to lose.

I love glide. You're like, no, it's not like a confidence. It's a lack of skill. No, genuinely. I'm not that good at spike ball. Like I can hit it up in the air, but like, I'm not beating Calvin. Like, uh, so yeah, volleyball was a low point for us. But yeah, we start the entire day off with this swim thinking like, okay. And Nick was like, Nick seemed like he had some confidence in swimming. He just, he, he, he screamed swimmer to me. I don't know why he does kind of scream swimmer. I think he has, he doesn't have much body here. I think that's what it is. He's blonde, huge feet, big old, yeah. Said he swam in high school. He wore a swimming

medal when he got there. He did have a robe on when he came out. So that was pretty funny. So I was like, all right, he's got some swag. We got some, we got a chance here. Let's see. And Nick right out the gate, uh, just came probably up the hill 30 seconds after everybody else. You know, you know, we went down the hill, swam around the dock, came back. We were already way behind and I was second, second in line. I was like, I just want to get mine over with. Let's just do this thing. And so since defeat, I had my shoes on to run down hill. Kicked off my shoes to dive in the pond. It was so funny.

Yeah. We're in the race of our lives. Brad, your feet, your feet. Your shoes are on. No problem. No problem. And then as Brad's ending his swim and getting back in the shallow end, his team is like, Brad, don't you don't need the shoes. You don't need the shoes.

Brad gets out of the water, puts his shoes back on. I did not. I did not. Did they really say you don't need your shoes? Yeah, they were all like, Brad, forget the shoes. You don't need the shoes. Brad gets out of the water, puts his shoes back on. I did not. I did not. Did they really say you don't need your shoes? Yeah. They were all like, Brad forget the shoes. I didn't put them back on. I just grabbed them. Oh my gosh. There was, yeah, there was no chance for our team right away, dude. I love the very beginning of the swim. We sent out Isaac first and he did a good job. You know, you got to run down. He's the first one in the water and first one to the dock. You had to swim around the dock. In the time, just the eight feet to go around the dock,

Isaac is now in last and hanging onto the dock. By the time we could see everyone again, he's just like, oh, I thought it was just to the dock. Oh, all right, hold on. Not actually, but it looked like he just gave up. Yeah, dude, I don't know what Scott Caldwell did, but he like went from last to first on that swim. He did.

I have video of it. He yanked on Nick's shorts. Whoa. I have video of it. Nick was talking about it. He's like, yeah, that didn't help. Oh. Scott just yanked Nick back.

Yeah, we had some competition. Hey, who said you couldn't? Scott scratched me too. Everyone's getting yanked. Oh, I thought that was your, your lesion was this way. I like I've been showing my right nipple a lot on podcasts lately. Scott scratch you. Yeah. Do you remember that play when we both were just like tumbling at the end of it at the end football and football tumbling at the end of it? No, I don't know if you saw it or not, but he just got really into blocking one play.

And yeah, I mean, he's got his finger. And I mean, this is like, you know, a week old, but just like fingernails all up like over my shirt. Wow. Kind of intense. It was intense, intense weekend, dude. For some of us, you know, uh, yeah, we tried to have these plays. I thought they were great. It was a great idea. I tell you about the routes for the, I forgot about that because we played you first, first three plays of the game. A lot of numbers being called out, dude. Okay. I, I'm listen. I had a good time. It was fun. I had a hard time not being the captain. I think that was half of it for me was like, I, I was trying,

cause I'm on one level. I was like, I'm just going to do whatever Josh wants us to do. And, but then I was like, we're not really talking any strategy, we're not doing anything. So I was like, well, maybe I'll suggest something here. And so my strategy was just like, hey, let's have four different numbers that just represent four different routes.

That seemed easy to me. Does that seem easy enough to you? This is kind of, I like this. This is how I think as well. I think we would have been good on a team together, Jake. I would have been great with it. There were four different routes and then. I remember 12 and 30.

Okay, so then the second number is if you're gonna actually run the real route, it's an even number. If it's a fake route, it's an odd number. What's a fake route? So like let's say down and out and then fake the down and out and then go deep would be. Oh sure.

Okay, so down and go. Down and out is a two. So it would be. Oh sure. Okay, stop and go. Down and out is a two. So it would be 23 would be, yeah, stop and go. 22 would be stop. 24 would be stop. Great. Make sense? Great.

Make sense. You got it? Yeah, I think so. If I was a quarterback, I would need like five minutes to like, you know, think through all this because I got four receivers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, if you had 15 minutes to prepare for it,

do you think that would be? Yeah, if I was a good enough quarterback, you know? I was thinking- What kind of routes my guys are running? I was thinking, just, even if you say it to one person, like, hey, 12, 12, everyone else go deep. It is nice to know. Yeah, whatever.

Yeah, we tried it for like two plays and we're like, dad, just, just go for it. I was like, okay, okay, no problem. In my head, I was like, we are not going to win without having some kind of brains here. Yeah. Like, so anyway, I'm trying to think of other, Oh dude, one thing that I really laughed hard, even just thinking about today. So I saw Calvin this morning.

The very first night we were there, uh, like we get our teams and we're just hanging out and you know, this swimming event is like the surprise thing. Yeah. And it was always like, we're going to do all these things plus a surprise thing. And the captains were like sworn to secrecy about it. And, uh, we're just all sitting around and I just tell Calvin, I was like, yeah, you know, Josh told us what the surprise thing was.

And like, Calvin goes, seriously? I go, yeah, yeah, he did. He told us everything. He told us about all of it. And, and you get it on, you're like, oh, like you, you overreacted so hard, like, no. And Calvin just completely believed everything. And you were like being generic, like, yeah, he told us, you know.

He told us. It's gonna be tough. I mean, think about why, like, yeah, that's why Glide, you know, think about it. I see why he drafted the way he did. You know, and cause Calvin's like, he's gonna have to, you guys are gonna be disqualified now that you know what it is.

And so in my head, I'm like, well, if I could somehow, like have you be the one to actually tell us and disqualify your team. And you were joking around like not knowing the motion, like, I mean, it's going to be a lot of, you know, just saw what, right? Like, and eventually like, I looked over at you and you're trying not to laugh. We just all busted out laughing together. But it was like the easiest thing ever to just convince him that. Yeah, he told me. Yeah, he told me all about how, I mean, we better,

you have to start fast and finish strong. Yeah, right, all the things. Because I mean, you know what a Vennet is, right? So I'm trying to think of other like hilarious things that happen. The bet was so funny to me. So at any point you're allowed to like, you know, you earn points by coming in first in this

and third in this, you get a certain amount of points and then you can wager them at any point. Yeah, I tried. We had no points to wager. So yeah. Yeah, that was too bad. I was trying to get so creative with our points. How fast do you think we can do a Main Street Roasters ad?

70 miles an hour. We're sponsored by Main Street Roasters. You would never know how fast. Yeah, it's not a convertible. No. Yeah, we have climate controlled. Yeah, I got the windows are up. We're sponsored by Main Street Roasters. They're the best coffee that we've ever had.

And at the end of the day, we're pretty much all done with, but we're down on like the pond front, you know? On the shore there, and we're hitting golf balls into the water and screwing around,

and Isaac takes a four iron and off the grass, hits it into the wind, I mean like 220 yards, just pure as it. That's really good time. Into the pond. You're like, dude, what a shot out of nowhere Nick goes dude. I'll bet you the rest of our points Nick's on my team Hadn't won a single thing all day We had points from me placing in home run derby

Glide getting ping-pong and us getting five charity points for taking somebody to the hospital and us getting five charity points for taking somebody to the hospital. That was the majority of our points. I didn't find that out till like 10 PM that night. And I was dying laughing. I was like, wait, five of your 13 points were taking AJ to the hospital? Correct.

Just like Gunner being like, hey, I feel bad for you guys. Here's five points. I didn't even realize that. So funny. And so Nick sees Isaac hit the shot of his life. He goes, dude, I'll bet you the rest of our points that I hit my next shot further than yours. We're like, are we understanding you correctly?

Isaac doesn't have to hit another one. No, no, no. I'll hit it further than Isaac. I was like, great. We're like, Nick's lining up to do it. Brad goes, whoa, whoa, what's going on here? What's going on? That was one of those times where it was like, I'm not the captain. I'm not the captain. But it's like, this is a bad idea, man. Don't do this. Because I think what was at stake was cleaning up dinner at that point. Like whoever was in last for the weekend

would have to clean up dinner. So that's, you know, not a ton of steak, but that was the difference. We really had nothing to gain by it, but it was still just kind of fun. Like, well, we're not going to lose points. Yeah. And so then it starts this debate, well, we're not going to lose points. And so then it starts this debate, like,

Brad's like, what are you offering? Wait, why would you do this? Nick's like, I don't know, just kind of want to do it. Brad's like, no, no, no. And then we all talk and then we decide, all right, we're not doing it, we're not doing it. And then we're like, all right, Nick, let's just see what would have happened.

He duffs it. Didn't he swing and miss the first time he swung? Oh yeah, he did. Yeah, I think I had to re-teuffs it. Didn't he swing and miss the first time he swung? Oh yeah, he did. Yeah, I think I had to re-tea it. Caught some grass. And then he like, you know, he like slices one a ways and then we're like, Isaac, all right, now you go again. Well then, Isaac.

Wasn't a terrible shot by, I mean, not a great shot by Nick, but like, not, like he hit it out there at least. Yes. And then Isaac goes again, and then Isaac is the one who really duffs it, like chunks it badly, he goes it out there at least. Yes. And then Isaac goes again. And then Isaac is the one who really doffs it, like chunks it badly. He goes 10 yards into the water.

And then Josh sees that and he goes, you know what? It seems like this, a flip of a coin. I'll do it. You know what? The bet's back on, but you both have to hit a shot from scratch. Like you're both at zero. If you both hit one, the bet's back on.

I shake his hand as quick as I've ever done anything in my life. I said, game on. And what was I doing, Jake? I don't know, walking away. I was just seething. We all knew that was gonna go. Come on.

And I will say- It's like, well, we have no other chance. Oh no, you weren't walking away. You tried your best. So you were like, standing really close to Isaac, trying to get in his head, trying to talk to him, like kind of in the danger zone of his back.

So you're chirping in his ear. And that was a good tactic. I was like, I don't know how Isaac's gonna do this. Credit to Isaac, this dude, in windy conditions, Brad in his ear, hits a four iron 30 yards further than the last one. I've never seen anything like it. I don't know if Rory McElroy had a better shot all weekend.

I don't know how he did what he did. Yeah. But this thing almost clears this massive pond. I mean, probably 240, 250 yards. And then, and that was really, it's hard for something so impressive to also be funny. Cause normally you laugh at someone when they do something poorly.

Yeah. But it was like, this is so unbeatable. This is so perfect that we are just dying laughing because this is the worst bet of all time. It was unbelievable. It was so, so funny. I mean, you kind of had to be there, but yeah, you just imagine like, all right, anybody's game.

And then Isaac just peers a four iron. Golf is kind of hilarious like that. Like it is hilarious when somebody does something so well because you truly never know. Anything could have happened. Like in baseball, it's like, okay, that kind of makes sense. He swung really hard and he hit it. That's crazy. But like, yeah, they could basketball. It's not like this could go in this. I might shoot it backwards. You know, it's relatively or like, you know, just happen to slam dunk it. It's like that guy had to jump really high to slam dunk it. Yeah. And that was the plan. Whereas like the last shot Isaac hit went 20 yards, you don't just happen to slam dunk it. It's like that guy had to jump really high to slam dunk it. Yeah, and that was the plan.

Whereas like the last shot Isaac hit went 20 yards, you know, barely up the whatever, not far at all and all of a sudden the next swing, I mean, he just hits it so far. It was fun. Just boys being boys. It was a good time. Yeah, it was great.

Yeah, it was fun. And then how was your Sunday morning? Sunday morning, nothing, not good. I felt terrible all weekend, honestly. Yeah, I just laid in bed trying to get rest. I just didn't sleep well for like three days in a row. And so I just like tried to sleep. Cause I was like, once I go home, I can't just be dead.

And so I was like trying to sleep. Cause I was like, once I go home, I can't just be dead. And so I was like trying to find like, so yeah, didn't do anything. Why? I just saw, I thought I was the last person to leave. I was like helping Calvin clean up everything. And then I saw your truck was still there. I was like, whoa. I was, I just texted Catherine.

Hey, I don't feel good. Do you need me to come home right now? Or can I rest here a little bit longer? She's like, you can rest. That's awesome. Great. So just groaned in bed for three hours, thinking about my team.

And I was so, you were so sore. I was really sore. I'm so glad that everyone else was sore too. I was really sore. I haven't really been sore like that in a while. My hair hurt. And I was like, is this from me being sick or from, yeah, I was like, everything hurts.

It was amazing. I couldn't believe how sore my shins were. Like those muscles in the front of your shins. I was like, I think that's from swimming? My quads were really sore. Like my, yeah. We'll talk about this more on Wednesday, but Tyman and I went to a concert together,

Sunday night, and it hurt to clap. I was like, I gotta just- Your hands, yeah. I gotta show appreciation some other way. Yeah. Forearms are sore. We, yeah, I got home, I think it was that night that I got home.

Yeah, just wasn't feeling good. Like, just have all this congestion stuff. So Catherine got this thing called a nebulizer. It almost looks like, it's like this little mask that you put on and like- Cool. Helps you- Like Bain? cool helps you like Bain. Yes. It's like sins, uh, whatever stuff, air smoke, whatever, not a smoke, but you know, I'm saying steam. Um,

and Catherine was like, you need to come outside and get some fresh air. And so the kids were outside playing Catherine, like polls. It's like, I looked like an 95 year old man. Like she had like pulled up a chair for me, with my nebulizer next to it. She's like I looked like a 95 year old man. She had pulled up a chair for me with my nebulizer next to it. She's like, all right, dad's gonna come out and watch you play. Oh my gosh. And I did, I walked out, waddled out there, half dead,

and just sat there with this mask on my face and just like, good job guys. So it was just like this ridiculous scene. It was like, this is just not my, my, uh, best look here. Nice to your sister. Oh, you'll be all right now. So yeah. And then we did have a guy go to the hospital, I think because of, uh, because of the swim,

that's what it sounded like. Yeah, there was some water. Pre-existing conditions. Unfortunately, this is the guy we knew the least. So kind of a bummer when like the rando has to be sent to the ER. You know, you just feel bad. You're like, I hope he's okay.

I hope he doesn't hate us now, you know, whatever. But no, he's a good dude. Cause he was telling me, I was the one who gave him a ride down there and we were gonna know each other. He's like, so check out my leg. And he's just showing me all the scars from previous surgeries he's had.

He's got like a massive like line up his leg. Yeah, and so he was like, yeah, I have like a lot of blood circulation issues. I can't move super well. I was like, do you know what tomorrow is? He's like, yeah, Will kind of told me, but I think I'm just gonna take some blood thinner and we'll just like see how it goes.

I was like, all right. Okay. And then, yeah, unfortunately. He did swim well. He did swim well, first one with his shirt off. Okay. I was like, dude, this guy's fired up. He's ready to go.

He's a swimmer. Yeah, head surgery, he's out of the hospital, he's good to go now. Crazy. Crazy. Shout out AJ. Yeah. All right, review of the week. If we want. Yeah. All right. Review of the week.

If we want. Yeah, I do. I got one from Hannah. 2000 Ray. Eating dinner in a Bucky's parking lot with Brad, Jake, and Tymon. Says, let me tell you something about Ghost Runners. This is no mere podcast.

It's more like a long distance friendship with three of the most hilarious, intentional, godly men you'll ever meet. Well, that's fun. Nothing exemplifies this fact more than a long distance friendship with three of the most hilarious intentional godly men you'll ever meet. Well, that's fun. Nothing exemplifies this fact more than a moment I experienced recently. I was driving home, driving back home after a great visit with my parents who live five hours away. My heart felt so heavy leaving them and one or two tears were definitely shed as I drove.

I pulled into a Bucky's to eat my cold lunchbox dinner. I was sitting in my car wishing I was having dinner with my family instead. Then before I could even think twice, I said out loud, I know I'll eat with Jake, Brad and Tymon. Out loud. Out loud. I ate the rest of my dinner with a smile on my face. I listened to Brad and Jake riff about their week. And just like that, all the homesick sadness that had been weighing on my chest seemed to be lifted away. This podcast is truly one of the main highlights of my week as I know it is for so many other ghosties out there as well. I don't think anyone could make everyday stories and experiences more extraordinarily funny or relatable than Brad and Jake. It's been

so cool to see Timon grow into his own unique and hysterical voice in the pod as well. Thank you guys so much for bringing so much joy, wisdom, and laughter to the world. You are using the gifts the Lord has given you in such a useful, I'm sorry, in such an impactful way. And I will forever and I will be forever proud to call myself a ghostie. Here's to many more years of unhinged ad reads, half-baked segments and Broadway caliber jingles. Love you guys, Hannah. Well, worded at the end. Thanks Hand Dog. Hand Dog. Mine says greetings from Washington. This podcast is amazing. I started listening to you all back on December 23rd of last year. I was having a really rough day because I discovered a dead rat in the dryer vent of my old rental. A dead rat? I started with that Monday's episode and then

jumped back to listen to the glossary episode. Great episode. And I've been hooked ever since. I'm also very thankful for your Christmas episode, encouraging those who were listening with Christmas because last year was the first time in a couple of years that I didn't have Christmas with my family back in Kentucky. It's great to have a podcast where the hosts are absolutely hilarious and also willing to talk openly about their walks with Jesus.

Brad, Jacob, Tyman, thanks for all you do. That's awesome. Thanks to you, Devin Nelson. Devin Nelson, just straight up. To you and yours, Devin Nelson F, I think. Oh, okay, yeah, I know that guy.
