Ah, this place hasn't changed a bit. No, here it is the same old walls. Ah, it's good to be podcast. Yeah, welcome home, Jake. Thanks. You're I feel like I said that a lot when you were on tour, obviously, because you were in and out. And now you're I'm going to be saying a lot coming up. Yeah, now I never leave until this two week stretch.

Until now you're just, yeah, barely here. I was in Florida and I got to watch some TV with commercials on it. Always a blast. What were you watching, a little NBA? No, just the office on Comedy Central. You know, you come in from the beach, you make a little sandwich.

Yeah, there it is. Throw the office on, I don't know. And I've been alive for a while, and I've never really thought about pharmaceutical commercials, and it hit me this weekend. So let me see if I'm understanding this correctly. Because a lot of these pharmaceutical commercials, it's just so, now that I'm a recipient of pharmaceuticals, I'm one with them.

Now that you can swallow pills, you feel like you're one of them. There's my level. There you are. Dude, that's the other thing. I got my first ever prescription refill last week. So it's been a month. Talk about that later. Thank you. And I go in and he says, 204. I was like, geez, insurance. 204 dollars. Are you doing anything? And then yeah, I looked through a seat, $2.04, and I was like, oh my gosh. Sweet. Insurance is doing too much.

Yeah, big pharma is awesome. What are we complaining about? What's the big deal? Yeah, no problem. Anyway, so a pharmaceutical commercial, if I understand it correctly, they're like advertising some like new drug that they came out with, and every commercial says the same thing of like,

ask your doctor about riboflavin. And so I'm supposed to go to the doctor and be like, hey, I think I need riboflavin. And he'll say, what are your credentials? And I'll say, I saw a commercial. I don't know if you've heard of Steve Carell. Like right when he came out with Bruce Almighty, he also had this TV show called The Office.

It's hilarious. And in between watching that, I saw a riboflavin. Yes, if you want to watch it with interruptions, there's this thing called riboflavin that do you want, do you, do I need that? And he'll say, sorry, what are your credentials? And I'll say, I'm not going to say this again. I saw a butterfly land on a kayak. I want this. I want this. Trust me. I saw a butterfly land on a kayak. I saw a woman doing yoga in the meadow and I do get sad during allergy season.

They were having a really good day though. Give me this. Please. And he'll say, well, I just prescribe everyone. And I say, I saw the commercial once. Trust me. This is work. The commercials working on me. Like, is that what's supposed to happen? I'm going to take Rachel on a date and like, hey, I saw an Olive Garden commercial. Yes. Can you make it endless? Yes.

Yeah, totally. I saw commercials. That's like her thing. You do it. Yes. If they can figure it out. You're like, well, I didn't say the whole thing yet soup Salad and breadsticks you go looking you can't find the end like yeah, no problem. Oh my gosh

commercials work, dude But that is that true though. I mean have you ever been in a situation where you're supposed to like yeah soup salad breadsticks Yes, dude. It's wild like they'll will, they legally, they have to cut you off after you throw up four times, but not five. Not five, go crazy, Kansas. Yeah. That was just my observation though, I don't know. Yeah.

Ask your doctor about Paxlovin. Why don't I let they decide. Yeah, here's. I have a non-binary doctor. They, yeah. It's a non-binary doctor. They, yeah. It's a non-binary you bleep! and go ahead, get on your feet, cause this is a ghost from the Spock can. Ghost from the Spock can. Every Monday morning, we're taking back ghost from the Spock can.

Ghost from the Spock can. Ghost from the Spock can. Oh man, I have thought, like I remember when I was a kid, this is just the marketing brain in me of like, like I thought, what if I just did every single thing that a commercial ever told me to do? Oh, that sounds like a good YouTube video. Yes, like you watch a commercial and it's like,

purchase your Lexus today with 0% APR. It's like, okay, yeah, in. And then it's like, call your, yeah. Do you have plaques or ises? Right. Maybe, is it in my mouth? Yeah. This is a different plaque. Yeah, run to the store today and get this.

It's like, okay, here we go. Like you're just having to like follow every single direction that they say. Ask your loved ones about. You know. Yeah. Greeting cards. Yeah, no, but genuinely, like it was just like,

like I think I realized that pretty quickly. Like every, like if you are a sucker For every single one of these commercials you would just you like you would have no money like I just realized that And I really just can't get over maybe I have too much respect for people with a degree But I'm like I would never fight my doctor on what to prescribe me like you do it. We're the expert. Yeah Yeah, I trust you. Yeah, it's like, but what if the doctor is not proactively talking to you about it? But you're like, hey, that sounds like something I need

based on the commercial. That's what they're trying to say with the Pax Loaf. Like if you're currently undiagnosed with something, get in there, get your hands dirty. Yeah. And get some Levoflavax. Timon, were you the one that was saying you did an experiment with Paxlovian on your,

what's your dog's name? Max? Yes, you did an experiment where every time you rang a bell, he wanted Paxlovian. That was Dr. Pavlov, actually. No, it's Paxlov. Paxlovian, it's a Paxlovian technique. That was wild. He grew three times inside. He was, he had it. He needed his own room, his own bed. Like he was like, was you in

just time? And then all of a sudden it's like gold wore off, but yeah, it did like he ballooned down. Right. Fill the size of your bowl. Yeah. I saw some goldfish in the street this week and they were big. They weren't confined to a little bowl. What do you mean saw some goldfish in the street this week and they were big. They weren't confined to a little bowl. What do you mean by you saw them in the street? I saw a goldfish in the freaking street. I don't know what else to tell you, dude. It was a clear, it was a glass bridge

and there were just goldfish down there. Downtown Amelia Island, or I guess it's downtown Fernandina Beach is kind of New Orleans vibes to it. Thank you for specifying Fernandina Beach.'s downtown Fernandina Beach is kind of New Orleans vibes to it. Thank you for specifying Fernandina Beach. It's Fernandina Beach. Well, and it's not really the Fernandina Beach. It's like Fernandina Beach's historic district.

Like that one street is New Orleans style. And not even modern New Orleans. It's 1980s cobblestone New Orleans. Yeah, you've seen like your honor season one. It's not your honor season one. It's more like I don't know where the beignets are sold. You remember like that one season where the Saints were like really good because of Katrina. It was kind of like before that Rachel always gives me a hard

time. I'm always clarifying like that when it doesn't matter at all. Yeah, I probably hit three red stoplights. Not all of them. I don't. Yeah, it's because do you them. I don't, yeah. It's because do you, well, you don't ever argue with your wife, I feel like, but like, if I argue with Catherine, I will take every single word

she says and be like, like, well, you said, you said you hit every stoplight. She's like, okay, I didn't mean. Oh, that sounds exhausting. It's exhausting. I'm terrible. It's, and I've tried to stop, like, but for a while, it was like, she would say something and I would just use her words

against her and she's like, okay, that's not what I meant. And I was like, well, you said that. So. I guess we're not saying what we mean. You said San Fernandina or whatever you said. San Francisco. Yeah, San Francisco, San Francisco, Florida. Anyway, you saw some goldfish.

Stupid goldfish, it don't even matter. Don't even matter. What, people selling them? No, I saw this like little six year old girl leaning over a railing in like, it was like in front of a shop, like in front of like this Christmas store. They have just built little ponds.

And I was like, I kind of wanna see what this little girl's looking at. Curiosity got the best of me. And I leaned over there, sure enough. Yeah. Big old fish. Big old goldfish. Do you remember, did you have anybody growing up that you knew that had like a goldfish little pond in their backyard? I don't feel like they're around

anymore. There's an old lady we've like helped with her landscaping for church. Yes. That she had one of those. What do you think? This is a new Beth Roe over here. Koi pond or whatever? Yeah. First, first the Paxlovian. Yeah. Koi pond kind of thing. Yeah. I don't feel like people are koi in very much these days. I don't think so. But yeah, for a while it was like, oh, those parents' friends are rich. They have one of those goldfish koi pond things in the back. It was awesome.

Yeah, once you start spending money on stuff like that. It's like, what do you need that for? You start spending money on animals you never touch, you're rich. That's a great thought, dude. It just in general, what's the point? What's the point of looking at an animal just to look at it?

Like I want to touch that thing. You were, did you see that fire hydrant that flooded in New York like this past fall? And then- Was it New York? No, it was Brooklyn. Thank you. What borough? Yeah, what?

I can't remember this cross street. But this fire hydrant flooded. And so just like the neighbors just made like a pond out of it. Beautiful. Yeah, and then they start protecting it. They had like 24 hour like night watch. So no one would vandalize their like goldfish pond

that they made out of the like flooded fire hydrant. Wow. What, how was it? It was one of those like feel good stories. Like this country, we needed an election season. It's super clean water probably coming out. Yeah, they would try to film it It was like pretty murky

Kind of gross. What was like how was it damming up? I? Don't know I know for you. Okay. Yeah, that's cool, man. That's really cool That's crazy. They probably built something. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, levy Wow So you've seen some goldfish and some in some streets and I saw some pharmaceutical commercials So vacation sounds like it was a Florida time awesome. Yeah What about you? What's going on? Give us some humorous life updates humorous life podcast bow Lost his shoe in a puddle last night. Okay, we need the puddle with the shoe came out with a puddle No shoe. I believe so. So I wasn't there. It was actually Catherine and Hattie and Bo were coming out of Oana last night, raining.

Catherine got this massive umbrella for her birthday. No, I don't know why she got it. How do you say that word again, say it in a sentence? Thank you. I say umbrella. She says umbrella. How do you say it? First.

Me and Catherine, once again, are the same. Umbrella. You and Rachel are the same. I Me and Catherine, once again, are the same. Umbrella. You and Rachel are the same. I say umbrella. It's a Southern thing, I think. Which, so maybe you got a little Southern. I am. Yeah, I think you're kind of half and half.

Anyway, that's like you got like the discount one at like Harbor Freight. Like we got the dispose all we got dispose all. Yeah. Anyway, sometimes people say question for time and some people say they say music how instead of musical, that's kind of like disposal.

Why do they say that? That's just I don't know. I don't think I've heard this before. Oh, really? I saw people talk like referring to a musical mm-hmm the spring music how in high school musical. Oh, that's interesting. That's weird I don't know. All right Yeah, yeah, I don't identify next level Thes Yeah music Cal like yeah mature no one mature. No one's genuinely saying mature. Dude, I've caught Isaac. I need to bring this up. We got a 16 hour flight, so I'll bring it up soon.

Like, that's how they say it. He's bought too many eggs over the phone. I think that's so uncommon. I wouldn't even be sure what he was saying. It's like, I'd be like, for what? And then he's like, I don't know if I'd understand. Amateur. Amateur. We could talk about this kind of stuff forever. TJ who is from TJ, TJ, TJ. Yeah. He's from Lancaster, which that was as land caster, Lancaster. He's from like, you know, wherever that is

central Pennsylvania. I don't know what part, but Pennsylvania, rural Pennsylvania, and he talks pretty normal for the most part, but all of a sudden the other day, he was talking about pickleball, and he's like, and you know, Jeff wanted to have a tournament. And he said it like he was from the Bronx or something. Or tournament. Tournament. And I was like, what did you say, tournament?

Instead of tournament, we say tournament. Yeah, everyone says tournament. Tournament. Tournament. And I was like, what did you say? Tournament? Instead of tournament, we say tournament. Yeah, everyone says tournament. Tournament. Tournament. Get a couple of fellas together, have us a little tournament. Yeah, we could go to the tournament together. We'll just go together,

we could get some hoagies on the way, huh, with the tournament. He did, he kind of said tournament. I saw a video of Dustin Hoffman in some movie, but they're like, this great scene was improvised and they were giving Dustin Hoffman in a movie credit for, I'm walking here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that true?

Yeah. I just figured we'd been saying it for thousands of years. Oh, I thought the disciples said it. I'm pretty sure that's an ax. Chapter six. Hello. Oh, I thought the disciples said it. I'm pretty sure that's an ax, chapter six. Hello, yeah, I think that scene is like, he's just walking past that alley. Yeah, yeah.

Wow, yeah, I was a doubter. I was like, that's where that comes from? An improvised line from some movie I've never heard of? Yeah. All right, well, good for Rain Man. Let's keep talking about stuff like this. You say fireflies or? Fire fleas. Yeah, or for Rain Man. Let's keep talking about stuff like this. You say fireflies or? Fire fleas.

Yeah, or sand fleas. Or, or. I keep wanting to say mosquitoes. What's the alternative? I always thought of lightning bugs. There it is. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

I might've done that too. I think I, I don't know. Maybe after Owl City, I just went to fireflies, but. Yeah, you think you're on Fire in the Tide on that. What do you say, Jake? Lightning bugs. Okay. Oh man, I'm went to Fireflies, but yeah, you think you're on fire with tide on that What do you say Jake lightning bugs, okay? Oh, man, I'm gonna I'm gonna commit to lightning bugs from now on that's way cooler I think you grew up not saying lightning by 100% grew up saying lightning bugs I think I think now if I saw them I would say fireflies and that makes me sad cuz lightning bugs is way cooler Yeah, here's something lightning bugs if we didn't have the name Ghostrunners

That that that elicits some feelings towards me right there. What? Why? Just cause man. Lightning's cool, I'll give you that. Like lightning on its own is cool. Lightning bugs is just cool. Like anything that brings you back to like 10 years old,

not a care in the world. Like barefoot. Lightning bugs. Barefoot. Like it was so fun to stay up late enough to catch lightning because like you had to stay up late and it had to be in the world. Like barefoot. Lightning bugs. Barefoot. Like it was so fun to stay up late enough to catch lightning because like you had to stay up late and it had to be in the summertime. Those are both good things. Great things. As a kid. Yeah. It's kind of like a Bree and Rustin's podcast. There's this called. Oh, what is it called? Adult Swim.

It's not Adult Swim. It's something kind of like that though. Sock hop. That's exactly like it. It's something like, hey, it's time to, it's just us now. Yeah. After hours. Oh my gosh. You guys get it. You think of that.

I went to type in, I typed into Google Lightning Bugs Versus to see if there are other, the third option, Lightning Bugs Versus Fireflies, Lightning Bugs Versus Fireflies Map, and then Lightning B versus box elder. Box elder? Anyone know what that word is?

Box elder is a type of plant. So maybe lightning bugs just go to... Oh, it's like a fight. Yeah, it's like who would win. Box elder is like a bush or a tree or something. Oh, the box elder bug, crap, might look like a lightning bug. Is box elder not...

Oh, now I'm just saying it. Until you start to see hundreds of them having a little conference together on the sunny side of your house. Dude, what kind of children's book am I reading from right now? They have distinctive red lines on their backs. All right, so it's just a bug

that looks like a lightning bug, but just sucks. Voxelder is also a type of plant. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't an idiot. Voxelder maple. Lewis and Clark got a little lazy then. We're naming plants and bugs the same thing. Yeah, let's blame them. Blame them.

I think so. Bo the other day, I'm just obsessed with the words, word smithing. Yes. Every single week, he has a different letter that he has to bring something that starts with that letter to Mother's Day out great and this this week was E And so he brought an egg But since we're all from the Midwest and we say egg instead of egg all the kids

Include like Bo kind of got like gas lit like that doesn't start with an E Of course boat is not a spell. It's always like, uh, all right I I guess my parents lied. Teacher had to be like, well, let's just go through this. It sounds like an A, but it starts with an E. So I say egg. Catherine says egg. I say Greg.

She says Greg. I've never thought about this. I'm sure I say it wrong. Yeah, I don't know how I say. No, there's not a wrong way to say it. Oh, there's not? I wanna buy a dozen this. I'm sure I say it wrong. Yeah, I don't know how I say. Well, no, there's not a wrong way to say. Oh, there's not. I want to buy a dozen eggs. Is that kind of you kind of you kind of eat.

You're an E guy. Okay, I think I like that. I think I'm happy with that. Here's the deal. Like I never want to admit it, but Catherine's always right. So it's probably better to do it that way. I do not like you Sam. I am.

I do not like green eggs and ham. You kind of, you're kind of an E guy too. E guy. You might be like a an E guy too. E guy. You might be like a half E half A. Right down the middle. You do half A. You do half A. Half A.

There's half A in it. Whatever you say half A. Look at that. A half A. Box elder bug taking over. Sunny side of my A. I did just look up box elder and the first thing that came up

was a Wikipedia page in Spanish. Oh, it's because we were looking up Spanish right before this. Were we? Yeah, that one woman's name. Oh, you bet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let us know guys. I was I-B-E-T-H. Yeah, we had a woman clean our house while we're on vacation and boy, does it feel good to come back to that. Yeah.

And I was asking Brad how to pronounce her name. And he said, Baxelder. Baxelder. Acernegundo. El Capataz. Anyway, back to the umbrella. Umbrella. Yeah, all that to say. All that to say, it's been raining.

They were just walking in the rain, but it had this massive umbrella. And all of a sudden, Catherine said she heard Bo be like, oh, Hattie, come on, whatever. Thinking that Hattie kind of pushed him into the, into the, into the puddle. And then Catherine was like putting her putting Bo into the car and Bo goes, mom, my shoes over there in the puddle. She's like, what? And so he just walked like five steps without, you know, having this shoe on, just soaking wet sock. Adaptable.

Yeah, I guess so. Which I was proud. He told me that story today. I was like, I'm so proud of you for not like crying and like having a terrible- Freaking out. Yeah, getting really mad about it. So that was funny, I guess.

That's a funny thing. Another Bo story real quick. Catherine, God bless her, decided to take one of the four days a year that we really care what our kids look like. Easter, you know, and like, she like- Is the other one Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, Christmas, picture day. No, I don't know.

And she decided she was going to do, this was the first day she was going to try to cut Bo's hair by herself. On Easter Sunday? On Good Friday afternoon. Good Friday. Good Friday afternoon. She, it was like, and it was also a little too much

of a time constraint. I was like, there's not enough time for this. We're gonna be running late. We did fine. She did fine. But the whole time it was like, she was stressed. She's like, I don time for this. We're going to be running late. We did fine. She did fine. But the whole time it was like, she was stressed. She's like, I don't like this. I'm paying Clint, whatever it costs next time. I don't care. She did a great job. I thought, but the whole time it was like this stressed situation. Like she kept being like, is that

good? Is that good? And I'm like, I don't know. I kept showing her this video over and over again. I was like, the video says this, the video says that she's like, I don't need to watch the video. I was like, that's all I'm going to answer. So we have to go off of, I don't do. I kept showing her this video over and over again. I was like, the video says this, the video says that. She's like, I don't need to watch the video. I was like, that's all I'm going to answer. That's all I have to go off of. I don't do this for a living. I've also never done this before. They felt like both of us, I was, I was laughing about it and stuff, but it felt like she was like genuinely like, like worried about this thing. And all of a sudden we just look at Bo and he has fallen asleep while she has, he's like sitting on a stool,

not even like sitting back on it. And he had fallen asleep from her just like massaging his head. I get it. I get it. And so, yeah, we kind of finished up the haircut and then lifted him and put him into our bed and let him sleep for a couple of minutes.

So Bo's just kind of cracking us up left and right these days. That's fun. Yeah. Have you ever had your kids like fake fall asleep in the car because they want to be carried in or anything like that? That's like a, yeah, it's like an ongoing bit with Rosie and Bo.

Like Bo is out of it now, but Rosie to this day, every single time I'm like, oh no, she's asleep. And she'll just be smiling and laughing at the same time. I've seen videos online of parents messing with their kids. Like, all right, I think she's asleep. I guess we have to do the test. As you know, if you're asleep, if we raise her right arm,

it'll stay up if she's asleep. And so then this like two year old is just like sleeping with both arms up and just, and they're like, all right, I guess she's asleep. We got to carry her in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I'll just be like, oh, she's asleep. I guess we got a tickler to wake her up and then just like the anticipation here I go. I'll just be like, you know, just like oh

You know just start laughing or something. So yeah, yeah 100% She's asleep. Dang it. I just found this Chocolate muffin to all right. I'll feed it to Marco. I ate it myself, oh bummer. Here I go. Make the noise. Yeah, so anyway. That's fun. Yeah, so Bo's been falling asleep during haircuts.

Catherine ended up getting some power, feeling pretty good about the haircut eventually and now has also cut Rosie and Hattie's hair a little bit. No way. And she was like, girl's hair is easy. Boy's hair is way harder. Really? I mean, I thought that she did a good job on Bo's hair.

It kind of looked like pre-haircut timing. Like it was just like a little bit like shorter on the sides, but she wanted to keep it long on the top. It was like borderline bowl cut for a second. Bow cut. Bow cut, yeah. It was like a little bit like that. But I think it looks kind of kind of cool. Like, so another YouTube video you guys are in the process of making.

Like, I didn't pay anyone to do anything for me for a week. Yeah, because I mean, really, you could get away with it. Like there is a YouTube video for everything. Yeah. Like, yes, they're going to be more skilled than you, but we will figure it out. Yeah. Oh, I mean, that's the thing. Like, like for a kid's haircut more skilled than you, but we will figure it out. Oh, I mean, that's the thing. Like for a kid's haircut to cost, like if I go to Clint,

it's like 30 bucks for a kid's haircut, or $28, something like that. No wonder kids have mullets these days. Yeah, and even like a great clips or something was like 20 something. And so it's like, man, for a boy it adds up. Either that or you have to get it cut really short. And Catherine likes his longer hair.

And so I'm like, we can just learn how to do this ourselves. That's a good point. Good for you guys. Real pioneers. Pioneers, that's what we do. Yeah. That reminds me, Rachel put on a dress. We took some like photos on the beach

and I knew she would take it as a compliment, but I did tell her she looks like a bride from the 1840s. It was just like a nice, like modest, like new flora, like tan dress. And she really liked it. She's brought it up several times since then. She's like, thank you, thank you for that. 1840s, not 18, you know, make sure it's before.

She understands. Oh, before. Before. Yeah, I told her she would have fit in great with Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Okay. She's real pioneering. Yes. Yeah, it was great great with Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Okay. She's real pioneer. Yes.

Yeah. It was great. Which Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman also is north. She fought for the north. Oh, what? She lived on the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she's down there.

Yeah. So. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I needed that. Just outside of Jacksonville. And it was Amelia Island that you were at? At times.

Yes. For the picture. There was sometimes where we were in Bernadita beat Brandy and Abby. Yes. What'd you do on the vacation? Well, we take some pictures one night and I was you know, I actually liked the way we did it It was like my mom wanted like let's get some pictures on the beach and I was like, that's great with me My only request is I get to like vet the photographer just to make sure she's like, oh, I just think we do with her iPhone I was like That's amazing. Love you mom sure she's like, oh, I was just thinking what we do with our iPhone. I was like, that's amazing. Love you, mom. 100%, yes, the iPhones are great.

Oh, we should put some pictures on the screen. I just thought of this actually. So it's like, let's just take couples photos of each other. And then when someone walks by, we'll have them take a group photo. Nice. And a woman came up and I've never seen someone take a picture this way, but I had it on portrait mode.

And the whole time she's taking the picture, her finger is covering one of the lenses. Oh. And like, I can't believe she can't notice this. So I guess portrait mode is using kind of all the lenses like to get that blurry background. And so for whatever reason, if you cover one of the lenses, it just blurs the faces.

I've never seen anything like this. So like there's pictures where everything looks perfect, but I look like an episode of Cops. Like my face is blurred. I look like a criminal. That's kind of a fun accidental hack. It was very interesting and she was so nice. And if they're not good, I could take them again. Oh no, they're great, thank you, thank you.

So I was like, we're not gonna get the one with this woman. I could just tell. We'll just wait. We'll wait for the next guy. And so I told her they were great, but yeah. And then the next picture of like just my mom and Rachel's face is really blurry. Interesting.

Pretty fascinating. But we got some good ones in there. Huh, I wonder, yeah, I wonder how that works, the technology. I have no idea. Interesting. It was kind of fun. I mean, these days on those iPhones,

it's hard not to put a finger in front of a lens. There's so many of them. Yeah, if you want to hang on to it, you're probably putting a finger in front of a lens. There's so many of them. Yeah, if you want to hang on to it, you're probably putting a finger in front of a lens. Yeah. That's, yeah. But yeah, got some family pics and rented some bikes. That was fun.

Shout out Patrick Scott, Ghost Runners listener, guy who used to work at Cantercock with. He was like, hey, my parents run like this shop down there. Oh, cool. If you want to rent bikes from them. And so I did. So I was like, we went down there. I, cool. If you want to rent bikes from them. And so I did. So I was like, we went down there. I was like, hey, are you Mr. Scott by chance?

I actually worked at Cantercock with your son. Like I know your son. He's like, great. What can I get you for? I was like, oh, maybe he told you I was coming or something. He was just like, I hear that every day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just another one of his friends.

Yeah, this is Florida. It's like the second spot after you go to Kittacook. Everyone comes down here. But it was fun. I don't know, last time I really went bike riding. So it was a good time. Yeah? We'd ride bikes, go get a little coffee.

Oh, diet is done for. Okay. You know, just. That's vacation. Yeah, it was nice to just let loose, but it's gonna be a rough April for the shredding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Movement, you know, the mole removal couldn't work out Yeah, it was nice to just let loose, but it's gonna be a rough April for the shredding. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah movement

uh, you know the the the mole removal couldn't work out for like 10 days and then the The vacation and now flying to asia tomorrow. So who knows what'd you what'd you uh indulge in carbs? What kind carbohydrates just let me let me live baby. Yeah, I mean, I think I woke up yesterday My dad made cinnamon rolls. Oh, you bet. No problem. Every day for lunch, I had peanut butter sandwiches, but on Hawaiian rolls. Oh, yeah. I had cereal.

I want today. OK. Honey, bunches of oats, please. Yeah. Had ice cream one night. That was actually a mistake. That was that was too much. Yeah. Had ice cream one night. That was actually a mistake. That was that was too much. Yeah. I overdid it a bit. I also had a tan pants by the end of the night.

But it was fun vacation. It was fun hanging out. Um, went golfing a little bit. Yeah. Bike riding, boogie boarding. It was fun. Boogie boarding. It was fun They weren't bad in size, but they broke pretty shallow, you know, so quick right in

But it's all good. It is a bummer when you're just like just like just flat on your stomach on the sand Yeah, here I am every time. Yeah, and we were the only ones in the water Where is like is there some sort of like red flag worn, you know, shark attack, but just fun, just playing around. And- Warm enough, I guess. Try to take the main, saw an alligator golfing. I think it was my first time seeing an alligator.

They look like exactly what you'd imagine. They are, the cameras do a good job. They did not put their finger on the camera for that one. Yeah. I mean, I saw it and I knew. How scared were you? That's an alligator. I was fine. Yeah. Good for you. Yeah. He was in the water.

Yeah. Distance away. We're fine. I had a golf club. You would have, you would have been fine. I feel like, yeah, people that live in Florida are not scared of gators. I think it's the Crocs. That is what I've heard of. Do they have Crocs though? I think only in like the Everglades.

Okay. And we were in Fernandina Beach in like the Everglades. Okay. And we were in Fernando Beach, not the Everglades. I don't know if you heard, but we were in the F beach, baby. Cool. Jake, we did it again. We did it again.

We made- Super Bowl champs. Real close, but not quite. We made more things out of unsifted wheat in our house, Jake. And what did you serve them on? A Super Bowl. Super Bowl, it was a huge bowl. We made more things out of unsifted wheat in our house, Jake. And what did you serve them on? A Super Bowl. Super Bowl, it was a huge bowl. Huge bowl.

So we did do it again. Super Bowl with unsifted. Unsifted, unofficial sponsor of the Super Bowl. Yep. Super Bowl, unofficial sponsor of your family's happiness. That's right. Mill your own flower. Have you ever wondered why so many people

can eat bread in Italy, Europe, you know, feel fine, but in America it makes them feel gross? Figured it was like recessive genes or something. You would think, like yeah, just like the dark hair makes it better, but many people feel bloated, get headaches, constipated, blink, whenever they eat bread or anything gluten. But it's not the gluten that's actually the problem time

and tell me with me, it's the Tell it with me. Processing. Processing. Tell me with me time do you be in there? Tell it to me and with me same time. Here we go Non GMO. It's not the gluten. That's actually the problem. It's the how the flowers processed commercial flowers are stripped of nutrients chemicals are added in It's no wonder why we see so many reactions to commercial flour But there's a simple switch to get your bread back. And it's say it with me, Tyman, bake with Unsifted.

I think I got my bread back. Oh! The majority of Unsifted's customers are gluten sensitive, gluten intolerant, but they have, but they've been able to successfully eat Unsifted fresh flour without any negative consequences. It helps them make them feel better. It's this guilt-free carbs. I mean,

guilt-free bread, guilt-free pizza, guilt-free pancakes, guilt-free muffins. It's so fun to eat these wonderful, delicious things. Like we had an Easter. We had these drop biscuits with lemon blueberry drop. I mean, DBS so good. Catherine, we're going out to town to Branson this weekend. Catherine's making some rolls from Unsifted to take with us. And just- Why not? Because it's easy. So they sell, not only they sell the wheat, they sell the grinders, the mills for this stuff, they sell pastry blends, they sell like the regular blends, all these different things. So you want to make regular bread, you want to make dessert bread, pancakes, whatever. It's all there and it's all good.

They got it all. And they'll sell you the mill too. And these people are good people. They're local. They're local. They're Christians. They're just two engineers who started this thing after experiencing miraculous health improvements from fresh flour baking.

My dad, just a couple of quick stories from him. Please. One, he's still making his way through Left Behind series. Can't get him off of it. Catherine just suggested I start reading those recently. My dad's read it 37 times, so must be good. That's amazing. Yeah, something's up.

He's just loving it, yeah. Have you ever read a book more than once? I think I, no. I don't, for some reason I don't see the appeal of that. I know, oh, it's very strange. My dad wants to see a comedian do his old material. It doesn't make any sense. I even asked him this week, I said,

what are you afraid of? Yeah, what is it? What? Yeah. Fear, man. It's in everything. Yeah, it's like, I don't know. There's certain things I'm like, I'm good after one. Yeah, maybe comedian. I don't know.

Maybe comedian I could see. Like I've watched the same special more than once, I think. But not in live. I don't know. Book. It's like, that's a long time to commit to something you've already read completely. Yeah.

I don't know. Movies. Okay. Or it'd have to be long enough like a movie where like, oh, I you've already read completely. Yeah, I don't know movies Okay, or it'd have to be long enough like a movie where like oh, I kind of forgot some things. Yeah, I'll watch it again I'll read it again. Yeah, I don't remember everything But so he's making a way through that is everything I kept hearing the first day on the trip I kept hearing him talk about his high heels and I know what he's talking about. He's got he's got these new Nikes They have a really high heel on them. Okay, so he's been talking about that and how it's bothering him because he woke up the first day,

he woke up like 4 a.m., couldn't fall back asleep, so he just walked like six miles on the beach or something. And he's like, man, my knee is killing me. I was like, well, maybe it's these high heels you're wearing. And he's like, I didn't even think about that. He's like, but yeah, they hurt. And he's like, and the thing is, they're so narrow, my pinky's up on my other toe.

Oh yeah. And I was like, dad, you didn't think this would be the cause of the problem? Yeah, and they're also just like, I don't know, four or five inches too short. Dad, those are a men's size five. I was given such a hard time. I was like, dang, it's too bad shoes aren't something

you could try on beforehand. He's like, I actually did try these on. I didn't even buy these online. I was like, dang, it's too bad shoes aren't something you could try on beforehand. He's like, I actually did try these on. I didn't even buy these online. Like I bought these in the store. They felt pretty tight bottom anyway. You gotta like break them in, you know? Yeah, I was like, do you have a really wide foot like I do? He goes, oh yeah.

And I was like, I never wear Nikes, cause they're so narrow. He's like, yeah, I probably shouldn't either. Like what? That's great. Do I need to come with you when you make these decisions? And so I'm begging him to just buy a pair of hokas cuz yeah all week. Yeah, he's like trying to tape He's taping his toes together. And you know, he's wearing his golf shoes everywhere, you know, he's trying to figure it out I'm like, oh my gosh, so

I'm not my mom's worried and he's like I shouldn't have said anything my mom's he's like mom's buying me toe separators Whatever that means of her to those but if his shoes too tight, that's like, I shouldn't have said anything. My mom's, he's like, mom's buying me toe separators, whatever that means. Oh, I've heard of those. But if his shoe's too tight, that's not gonna work. I was like, yeah, this is your fault for buying shoes that don't fit. Just go barefoot. Yeah, that's funny, man.

Also, yeah, he's on the beach. Get your shoes off. Enjoy the beach, enjoy the sand on the beach. That's funny. It's like the shoes on, you know? Yeah, you know, I go barefoot. I'm sensitive to the feet as well. Yeah, you don't even when you're swimming.

I'll just keep those bad boys on all day long though. Yeah, but something about the sand, it's different. Yeah, but it was fun. It was a good just sort of like three day vacation. Got back, landed at like 1130 last night and got yelled at. This was so funny by this TSA. I don't even know if they're TSA.

The people in the parking, you know, the driving in the parking, between you and the parking garage, the people who just blow their whistle constantly. It's 11.30, it is not packed at all. I go get the car, because we're trying to like race to Chipotle land times, we're starving. And so I'm like, Rachel, you get the bags,. I go get the car, because we're trying to like race to Chipotle in time, because we're starving. And so I'm like, Rachel, you get the bags,

I'm gonna get the car, I'm swinging around. He's, beep, beep, beep, beep, you know, telling me to go forward, which if he wasn't there, who knows what I would have done. Yeah, sure, you would have had no idea where to. Go, go, go, go, go, oh my god, it's there. And then I pull over, pick up Rachel, and then he like taps the back of the car,

he's like yelling at me, I'm like, I think that's that guy behind me. So I rolled down my window and he says something like, going ahead to the third or fourth lane, and it was one of those where I didn't catch if it was a question or a statement, and so I kind of pause and I'm looking at him, he's like, go.

I was like, okay, and he's like, hop on it, buddy. Ooh. I didn't say anything. Hop on it, buddy. Ooh, I didn't say anything. Hop on it, buddy. You just loaded up our car. I rolled my window down. He was so mean. Oh, man. Hop on it, buddy.

I couldn't even say anything. I was like, I just got home for vacation. It's like everyone here is getting home at midnight. Just chill, dude. I've been at Fernandino Beach. Just chilling with a nice bike for Mr. Scott. Yeah. So don't you understand?

I'm just, I'm on Island time. We're like, Oh my gosh, that guy is unhappy. Hop on it, buddy. Hop on it, buddy. Where is the exact words like in my face in the window. I kind of, I kind of liked that phrase though. Haven't heard hop on it in a while. Hop on it, buddy.

Hop on it, buddy. Sounds like something I could say to Catherine and really make her mad. Yeah, I didn't like it. hop on it in a while hop on it buddy. So I'm a buddy sounds like something I could say to Katherine and really make Her mad. Yeah, I didn't like on it. Let's go. We got to get going. I didn't like how he said it Yeah, didn't like it. And then we raised the Chipotle able to get there 1156 it was at midnight. I had no idea they were open so late Which Chipotle ones around here 10? Yeah, maybe it was 10. Yeah, I think we landed at 10.30.

We get there by 10.56. Oh, sweet. And as we drove in, we see the Chipotle worker going to the door and locking it. Like dang it, dang it, dang it. I let Rachel out and she pulls on the door and they were like, sorry. Looked at the watch.

It's 10.56, that's when we close. So we went to Whataburger and just pigged out one last time. You were trying so hard though, like we can find some. Go get grilled chicken, hurry, hurry. Yeah, and then just two honey butter chicken biscuits and Rachel had a sausage bowl. I didn't even look over, I don't even know what was in it.

Just don't ask, don't tell. Didn't wanna see it. Sausage bowl, huh? And then, yeah, I think we got home at probably like 11 45 and I stayed up for three hours getting work done, getting caught up. So you fly to China tomorrow. So there's a lot to be done.

So you're on fumes right now. I mean a little bit, but I also just got back from vacation. So it's not like I'm like, yeah, it's dragging. Yeah, I'm fine. But there is something, how, direct flight? Nope, stopped at St. Louis. Yeesh. That's too bad.

No wonder you were starving when you got here, there's nothing to eat there. Dude, the guy in front of us, I just remembered this, when he gets his carry on down from like the overhead compartment, he pulls out, all right, I want you to imagine those like orange life jackets, but not a soft puffy one, like a firm orange life jacket.

Like it is foaming. Yeah, old school, but like a firm foam. Yeah. He pulls out what looks like, like if you kind of carved weird shapes out of them, Okay. And you had three, you had three unique shapes of like half of an old

life preserver. He had those on like a chain. He just grabbed that and just, I mean, we followed him all the way through and I just kept staring at him like, what are these? Did you, you never figure it out? No, I didn't want to ask. It's like paraphernalia or something.

He looked and dressed like soldier boy. Oh. So I don't know if this is a fashion thing. I don't know what purpose these serve, but like, yeah. Just bright orange life preservers on like a dog tag. What kind of shapes or how big are these things? They're, you know, like one was like maybe like a tooth shaped.

And then the other was more like rhombus shaped, just weird shapes. Are they like credit card size? No, no, no, eight to 10 inches. Whoa. Big things. Yeah, you had to put them in the overhead compartment. Like they could be like a tablet or something, but like.

Yeah, but it just looks like a foam life preserver. Tooth tablet. What? That is very interesting. But it was all on one string? Yeah, it was all on one. It was like a janitor's key chain. I was fascinated by it. I couldn't shut up about it.

What are those? That's the beauty of Ghostrunners though, is that somebody's gonna know exactly what that is. I hope so. Jake, this is it. Here it is on the Facebook group. Here's a picture. Jacksonville to St. Louis.

Soldier Boy, those are all the details. Well, Nellie's from St. Louis. Yeah, they both rap. Anyway, that was Florida. Tymon, what are you up to? Haven't seen you in a while. Yeah, I got a drone finally. So I can finally like, whoa, use my license. He is risen. Haven't yet, but yeah, what else?

Help Graydon move in. I'll move in on like Monday, I think. So it's happening. Did you walk in and be like, it feels good to be home. I will on Monday. Okay. Because it wasn't my home yet. So cool.

Yeah. It feels good to be renting. Yeah. It feels good to be in my temporary home. I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm

going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be home. I will on Monday. Okay. Cause it wasn't my home yet. So cool. Yeah. It feels good to be renting. Yeah. It feels good to be in my temporary home. That's fun. Yeah. What, what kind of, what kind of apartment is this? How big, how big, um, two bedroom unless like there's one, two bed, one bath. Yeah. And then I don't know. It's like pretty normal size. Yeah. I like it. My room's pretty small.

I will say it'll be like a bit of a like Tetris game trying to like get, cause I want ideally like a dresser bed and desk. Oh, money bags. It's, it's kind of tough. So we'll see what happens with that. But yeah. What'd you ask?

Living room. Yeah. You have like a nice common area Yeah Okay Laundry, where's that at? I don't know yet. Who cares ask me next week. Yeah, I asked me in four weeks when I do it That's yeah. Yeah, I splurged on like a Kind of batch subscription to some like streaming services. I'm like, okay, we'll be like me and Grayden movie night. We'll have like have stuff to watch. Yeah, boy.

That'll be nice. This is like history is repeating itself. Like you bought direct TV basically. Yeah. Like you bought a bundle to give you access to many channels. Comedy they had like you can do home and garden TV. Trauma, sports occasionally. Sports is in there.

Yeah. Yeah, what is this bundle? Local news is on there. It's the Disney Hulu and Max. Okay. I like looked it up, like there's pretty good stuff on each, so yeah. What, I have no idea. I'm gonna guess a number.

You tell me higher or lower, and then Jake's gonna guess off of that. And if neither of us are within $2, we'll give you $1. Got it? Cool. Go ahead. For the bundle of all three of them, it was $29.99 a month.

That's a good guess. Higher or lower? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it was. Nailed it. Maybe. I think I've been telling myself 30 bucks. I bet it was $29.99. Okay. Well, that was a fun one.

That was great. Thank you. Wow. Okay. Well, that was a fun. Wow. That was great. Yeah. Wow. Nailed it. I was like, at first I was going to go 24.99. I was like, no, three probably higher than that. But it's gotta be a pretty good deal if they're wanting all three of them together. That's fun.

Yeah. Rachel's been giving me a hard time due to how much prepping I'm doing for my like two, like 16 hour flights to get there and back from China. Cause she's like, you've done this before, but for some reason this time it's like, like I bought a neck pillow, never had that before in my life.

Was that that thing in there? Yeah. Is it like an electronic one? No, just plush. Oh, it looked like it had like a, maybe cause it was like leather looking, it looked like it was technology or something, like it had like a massage in there.

What a surprise that would be. No, it was like $10. It looks great. I practiced with it last night. I think it is a slight upgrade from just your own spine being your pillow. I mean, when have you ever not been a little jealous when you see somebody with a neck pillow?

It's like, dang it. They look so sick. It's like every time it's like, I wish, I wish I would have been prepared. Oh man, that's so, oh, you have a Mickey Mouse neck pillow. Dang. That's dope. That's so sick Is it a blow up or is it just a cushion blow up? That's Wow. Yeah, I think that's the thing Have you seen that like while you're worrying feels like it would be comfortable It's like everybody's freaking out over here just my neck pillow. That's our problem

It's like air is freaking out over here. Just my neck pillow. That's not a problem. Yeah. It's still a little airy. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Like for like consolidation.

Sure. It makes sense. I might be making it up. No, I just wouldn't have like pictured a inflatable one. Yeah. But I like that. You got to really care about your space. Yeah. Because I would rather have like got to really care about your space. Yeah.

Because I would rather have like a cushion rather than like my own breath. I do feel like comfort would go down a decent amount. Like, I mean, I also think I obviously it can still be soft, I guess, but it just feels like it wouldn't have the same. It feels like more of an inner tube material on the blow up neck pillow. Yeah. And the one I'm imagining has like kind of plush on the outside, like kind of like a, you know what I mean? Like almost like performance velvet feel. And yeah, for whatever reason.

It still feels like it'd be, it'd feel hollow. Yeah, it feels like it'd be tough to blow through that plush. I don't prefer it, but I understand. I understand the people that have them. Yeah. So anyway, I prep with a neck pillow. I even prepped, I'm like, I'm turning into my mom

because I'm like thinking through everything. Like I was like, you know, it would be a disaster if for some reason my AirPods die or they get disconnected. So I bought corded, like USB-C headphones. Good for you. Yeah. I'm thinking of everything. 100% dude.

And I've got, I've got enough, like Rachel was making fun of me. She's like, do you think your flight is 10 days long? Because I'm like, all right, I'll probably download multiple seasons of TV, four books, I've read a book since January, I'll do four books probably, speed through those, maybe some word puzzles, and I was like, oh my gosh,

I don't have any like games downloaded. What am I gonna do for games? Guess I'll get back into chess briefly. So I'm looking forward to this flight. Fully support everything you did. I'm really prepping. I'm doomsday flight prepping. Because there's there's there's like different types of people that you want to be when you download all these different things. You're like, you know, like, well, or just like, like, I'm going to download this one for like a fun movie.

I'm going to download this one because I'm kind of curious in what's going on with this. Like I should be informed. It's like, I'm not going to watch that. I always watch like the dumb comedy, like grownups or something like that. Like, I mean, not always, but like also I've never done 16 hours. That's like a new, that's a new level of crazy. I mean, I've flown to Spain and so that was like eight or nine hours. Yeah. So but yeah, I'm you don't. I've been in the situation where I've been like, I'll just download a few things on the way to the airport or like in the airport. And even for like a small flight, it's like this is miserable with nothing.

Yeah, I do. Because I'm even like I think I've got my iPad and everything downloaded. What if there's an issue there? I should have some things down on my phone, I guess. Oh my gosh, now I think I really need to. And then yeah, I got the Kindle and then I'm thinking, oh, I haven't even thought about jet lag yet. So then I'm like, all right, I think flight to San Francisco,

I got a nap. Yeah, I got a nap. And then I think right before that 11 p.m. flight, Red Bull. Oh. I think I gotta stay up as long as possible. And then the last eight hours of the flight, I gotta sleep.

So I gotta pull an all-nighter basically tomorrow. See, that's something I would never think about. I would just be like, I don't know, I'll just figure it out. Let the good Lord take me where he takes me. Honestly, I'll just respond to the elements. If I wake up in China and it's bright, I'll try to stay awake. And I think I did that my last Australia trip and I was like, no fun.

I thought I was stronger than the jet lag. I was like, I'm pretty chill. I could sleep well and oh, Perth. Oh, Perth. Oh, Perth. We remember Perth. Oh, Perth. I was awake for you, Perth. Oh, I picked Perth up.

Like a raccoon. Yeah. Also, what I'm hearing is that you don't even have 16 hours. You have eight hours to do this stuff. If you're trying to sleep eight of the hours. Is this true? Oh yeah, you're correct. So basically I'm playing for eight hours on a plane. I once again, fully support. I think it's great. What's the harm though in having too much? It's true. It's taking him seven minutes to press download

on all these movies. Thank you. I get to the Chinese double tree, wifi stinks. Good thing I've got them downloaded. Do you have VPN? Surely. Oh, I've been prepping that too baby.

That's something you got to think about. Dude, it's confusing too. I was kind of in charge of that. And I'm like, boys, I. Oh, I've been prepping that too, baby. That's something you gotta think about. Dude, it's confusing too. I was kind of in charge of that. And I'm like, boys, I'm sorry, I'm confused. VPNs are, well. And eSims, it sounds like something that, you know, like the teenagers are doing. Like, oh, you're the new vape alternative.

It looks, yeah, it looks like a USB-C instead of a USB. It's an eSim. It just comes out of the side of your phone. Yeah, it's got THC in it too. I do boysenberry. But yeah, e. Yeah, it's got THC in it too. I do boysenberry. But yeah, eSim, it's just like, I think newer phones don't have a physical SIM card, they have an electric SIM card and you can get a Chinese eSim in your phone.

I've got one in there now. I don't know, I got the Johnson and Johnson. Yeah, I was gonna say. It was just the one. Was that? Extra 5G. Formed in the lab, the eSim? I don't know.

Although Netflix did come out with a new Pan Pangolin documentary. Tell me what that is. Well, that's what we thought COVID started with. It was like, oh, someone ate a Pangolin. Oh, I thought it was gonna be about that. Are you, are you saying- No, it's just the journey of a Pangolin.

Maybe it's a Midwest versus South thing. It is. Are you saying penguin? No. You're talking about the fight of the penguins. I'm not happy like penguin. Dude, I can't tell you how many times this is like having Steve tripled your dad when someone says, I think you're saying, Oh, I getting so nervous. Like, Oh, what have I

said now? You did admit defeat before. Like, yeah, you thought I wasn't making a joke. You thought I was like, yeah, it is wrong. Whatever you're saying, it's wrong. I'll be honest. This is how uninformed I am. I've never even heard that word. So. Aren't those the things that look like a pine cone a little bit? Yeah, kind of a gross armadillo, possum.

Sounds like something. Don't eat them. Have a bad disease come from it. Yeah, they got their whole Netflix documentary. Pangolin. And it really is. I read the script and it seems like it is kind of the flight of the Pangolins. So did you download Pangolin?

No. Okay. I was like, well, but then maybe the Chinese would. Yeah, maybe they would not like that one if you have that. But just so confusing, try to figure out what an e-sim is. And then I go to look at my settings on my phone and I'm like comparing it to Rachel's.

I'm like, what have I done? Mine looks so weird and confusing. Am I ever going to be the same again? So will you go back to a regular sim? I don't know. How'd you how'd you get an eSim on reddit? Everyone's like, oh, you don't even need a VPN Just get it get get this thing get this thing and once you get there, it's perfect. You're good to go So I'm trusting once I land it's all good. But will you be able to have social media? Yes That's what it says like you'll be able to access Google Instagram YouTube. Okay, so VPN for the computer eSIM for the phone

I think the Chinese are pretty ahead of us like Apple Pay is getting more and more common here But I think for years and years that's all they do. Yeah, it's just phone Yeah, they just have chips in their arms. Don't they? Yeah. Yeah, just scan that black mirror style mark of the beast Yeah, so cool. Oh, yeah, just prepping in every which way. I do have a, I mean, I'm glad to hear that you've been prepping. I have a game for you to know how well you've been prepping is knowledge. The game is called Florida versus China. Oh, okay. Because you just went to Florida, but you've been prepping for China. Yeah. And so I'm going to read something like something that happened, some true news story.

And I want you to tell me if this happened in Florida or if this happened in China, because you've been prepping for all this stuff. This is good prep. So, scenario number one, and I don't think I'll, I don't think I'll read everything as this person, but since he is so well versed in Florida and China, he has both a massive mansion in Florida and a lot of business and, you know, interested

China, I will answer as Donald Trump. Okay. Okay. Got it. So scenario number one, a man was arrested after he was caught living in a stadium for nearly two weeks. He had set up a small living space and an unused section of the venue, complete with bedding and personal items.

He was eventually discovered by maintenance worker. Good for this guy. Is that Florida or is that China? You don't mean to ask questions? I have a few pieces of information on it. You can ask some questions. That you didn't say, okay. Do we know his age and ethnicity?

No. You say age, age, 23 years old. All right. I feel like China, there's more places to hide, but this feels like more of a Florida thing. Is it Florida? The answer, of course, China. Really?

Yep, in 2021, a 23 year old man, surname Sang, I wasn't gonna tell you that part. Thanks. Was caught living in the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium in China. He'd been there for 12 days, creating a makeshift home and an equipment room.

He was unemployed and looking to save money on rent. Security guards found him when they noticed food wrappers and other personal items in the area. Ah, I gotta cover up the food wrappers. Is that not like one of your biggest fears in life is just somebody living in a spot that they shouldn't be that you are occupying? It's one of my biggest fears,

but also one of my biggest, I don't know, almost like daydreams. What if I had the mall to myself? Oh yeah. You know, what if we hid in the mall? We would talk about that in high school. How fun would that be? Like if you're the guy doing it.

And I'm cool. It's Tony Hawk Pro Skater Tag. Yeah, I'll be out of there in the morning. But if somebody else is in your attic right now, Like if you're the guy doing it. And I'm cool. It's Tony Hawk Pro Skater Tag. Yeah. I'll be out of there in the morning. But like if somebody else is in your attic right now, that's the worst thing in the world. I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna start a fire, smoke them out.

Smoke them out of there. Yeah. That's why the previous homeowners did it. Oh, but that is terrifying though. All right. See if you can guess this one. Thanks a lot for this one AI. Alligator in yoga pants.

This scenario, Florida or China. Police respond to calls about a disturbance and found a person attempting to calm down an aggressive four foot alligator by putting yoga pants over its eyes and loading it into the back of their SUV. Florida or China? I'm gonna go with Florida.

And I also wanna know what type of person tries to load them in the back of their SUV. The answer of course is a beautiful state of Florida. It says, in 2019, deputies in York, Florida responded to a call about an alligator in a neighborhood. They found a woman who had captured the reptile and covered its eyes with yoga pants to keep it calm.

She was attempting to relocate it herself when authorities arrived. That's a different breed of person that's trying to relocate an alligator by themselves. Different breed of guy is that girl. Trying to relocate an alligator. Yeah, I would throw stuff on its eyes. That makes sense. Yes. But I would not relocate it.

All right. I don't think. Next one's a cash register crab attack. A customer at a convenience store became irate over an out of order ice machine and released live crabs inside the store as revenge. Security footage showed the person dumping a bucket of crabs onto the counter and floor. This could go either way. Chinese feel like they know their way around some crabs.

Florida knows their way around some crabs. This is, how many pounds of crabs? Let me see. Dumping a bucket, it's a bucket. Bucket's worth? Let me see. Dumping a bucket. Bucket. Bucket's worth. Let's say seven and a half pounds. Finally, the answer is Florida. The answer, of course, is Florida.

They have great crabs. They're incredible crabs. In 2021, a woman in Jacksonville, Florida, was arrested after releasing a bucket of live crabs inside a gas station when she became angry about the store's broken ice machine. Several crabs escaped behind the counter into store aisles, causing disruption and damage. in a bucket of live crabs inside a gas station when she became angry about the store's broken ice machine. Several crabs escaped behind the counter and into store aisles, causing disruption and damage.

Yeah, we never thought about that, but also it gets hot in Florida. You gotta have ice. What do you want me to do? What was I supposed to do? I need ice. Well, yeah, you know the rules. No ice, you get the crabs.

You're getting crabbed on tomorrow. Yeah, that's right. That's right. You know getting crab, Don, tomorrow. Yeah, that's right. That's right. You know how like people are like, if your name's Karen, you probably get called Karen a lot. Yeah, your name's Cracker, people probably call you Uncle Cracker a lot.

Yeah. I had crab cakes. I had whatever some sort of toast I had. That sounds adventurous. I had like this like toast with butter on it. Buttered toast. That was cool. Water for a drink. Well, I really can't even remember.

That's the only like one like I know that word. I know toast. I was going to say that's how you know it was adventurous because you don't know what the words were that you ate. Yes. It's like, you know, it's shareables. Hey, a little of this, a little of that. Yeah.

Thank you. Oh dude, my, I was, I was loving the, um, just kept hammering home the same joke where I would just say of course over and over and over again. And water sir, of course. Of course, yeah. I was like, we're supposed to, it's like my pleasure. Yes. They want us to say it.

Chick-fil-A was originally called My Pleasure. Yeah. And then it got confused in certain areas. So it was like, well it's called Chick-fil-A. She's not saying it. Yeah. Someone's gotta say it. Yes.

I said it 45 times. Of course. But no, it was actually fine. I said it 45 times. Of course. But no, it was actually fine. I was planning on having to eat like a second dinner afterwards, but no, it was great. I was stuffed. Filled up. It's a mahi mahi.

Oh good, mahi mahi's nice. Yeah. Yeah. If you like salmon, you'd like mahi. It was great. You throw enough just mysterious liquid around it. Sure. Tastes like salt.

Sometimes I just wish they would just go with one mahi though Yeah, I Honest question. I got two different fillets. So I was like is each one of these a mahi Or is that the name of the fish the mahi mahi? I get a cheeseburger cheeseburger. Yeah I'll do I don't know about mahi. Can I get salmon salmon though? Yeah, sounds good Can I get a mahi salmon or is it just mahi mahi? Yeah, can I mix and match? Yeah They give you do like you pick to like Panera does All right, I'll do salmon mahi. It's not like Panera

All right next scenario here cooking fish on a car engine Traffic police stopped a vehicle after noticing smoke coming from under the hood Only discovered the driver was using the heat from the car engine to cook fish wrapped in aluminum foil during their journey. The resourcefulness. What kind of fish? Mahi mahi. It was a mahi mahi. I don't know what. Once again, this is Florida. Final answer. Correct answer. Across the pond, it's China. 2018, police in Shandong province.

Is that where you're going? I think Geng Tzu. Okay. Pulled over a driver when they saw smoke coming from his car. Upon inspection, they found the man had placed fish wrapped in foil on the engine to cook during his drive home. He explained it was a common practice in his hometown

to save time and fuel. All the Chinese things are things I kind of thought about doing, living in a stadium. I want to do the like bake cookies on your dash. I've heard of people doing that. Oh yeah. How hard can that be? I think it was Independence Day.

You seen that movie? No, but I've celebrated. Welcome to Earth. I think it was like they lived out in like super hot desert, like, and they cooked their steak one time or eggs or something on like a really hot rock. And I thought that looks kind of fun. Yeah. How hard is that?

It seems like I could get a little bit like pebbly. Yeah, but a nice black rock. Crack an egg on there. You'll be fine. Still wouldn't eat it. Still wouldn't love it. All right, how about this one? Smuggling turtles in pants. A person was arrested at an international airport after customs officials discovered 24 rare turtles

strapped to their legs inside their pants. The smuggler had wrapped the turtles in plastic and attached them to their legs with tape. Wow. 24. They deserve it. They deserve those turtles. How rare, how much money?

I mean, you gotta go Florida. The last time we combined reptiles and pants, it was also Florida. You would think, but it's actually across the pond with the queen in China. In 2019, a man was arrested at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Is that the one you're going to?

It is not. When customers officials had discovered he had strapped 24 endangered spotted turtles to his legs, the turtles worth approximately how much money, Timon? $300 million. $700,000 yen. $40,000 on the black market. Sorry guys.

Were destined for the exotic pet trade. Not that much money. And also 24 is way too, like stop at eight. Yeah. 24 turtles. I guess they're pretty small maybe, like mini pancakes. But still dude, like it's like, hey, we're flying close to the sun here.

Maybe just stop at 23, like 24. I mean, surely you could have clocked him just walking weird, right? Like that, that had to be how, how smoothly can you walk with 24 turtles strapped to you? Yeah. They had to be babies. Even then. I mean, they got to be moving around a little bit, right? You're just getting scratched. Yeah, sir. I saw you coming into this airport a couple of weeks ago. Have you been, have you been eating too many cinnamon rolls or you just, you know, smoking someled some turtles. Turtle to see me.

Yeah. Yeah. You just turtle in to see me. Yeah. He's literally turtling as he was walking. Like that's wild. I would like to see a picture of that. All right.

This one's a little, well, I should, Hey, we'll see. Mahjong marathon record. Police broke up an illegal gambling operation after neighbors reported a suspicious gathering. Officers discovered 16 people had been playing a continuous game of mahjong for over 48 hours straight with several players requiring medical attention from exhaustion. This is a unique news story.

Knowing what I know about mahj, you can eat and in between. All right. This is good. This is good. This is Chinese. I it'd be a shame not to choose China. Final answer. That's correct. It's China. Of course, it's China. Forty eight hours. That's as much as they can do.

Forty eight hours in China. Twenty seventeen police in Guangzhou. Is that where you're going? Maybe. Broke up an underground mazak tournament where participants have been played continuously for more than two days.

Several elderly players were hospitalized for dehydration and exhaustion. Organizers faced charges related to illegal gambling operations. I need water. More water. Illegal gambling. No wonder they didn't want to leave.

Table was hot. That's right. Wow, that's fun. I got to tell Rachel about that. Get that going here. All right, how about this one? I'll do a few more here. Live streamed snake bite.

A social media influencer was hospitalized after being bitten by a venomous snake during a live stream. The person had been attempting to kiss the snake for viewers when the incident occurred. Hmm, this probably happens a lot. This seems like just every day. Yeah, this seems like a David Blaine video. I'm gonna go Florida.

I would have totally guessed Florida, it's China. Man, the reptiles are throwing me off. 2018, a 28 year old woman known as the snake goddess on a Chinese streaming platform. Not anymore. Was bitten on the face by a pit viper when she attempted to kiss it during a live broadcast. She survived after receiving anti-venom receiving antivenom, antivenom?

Antivinom? It's treatment, but the incident prompted stricter regulations on dangerous animal content on streaming platforms. So they were probably like, this is happening a lot. Let's get done with this. Yeah, the website's like, we didn't think we had to have a dangerous animal policy, I guess we should now.

Ty, have you ever thought about live streaming? You have friends who like do the live streaming game? No, I we've done on Backseat Boys occasionally. We used to like go live for half an hour. That's fun. I joined once, but I've never like like Twitch though, like really getting a set up. I've never like I don't think known anyone who's like done it for like like a gaming stream. Yeah, it'd be fun, though.

It's really interesting time. Let's talk about this real quick. Yeah. Your hair cut. I like it. Thanks. I really do. Thanks. I feel like, uh, let's see. So like, basically I don't know that many Gen Z people. You're one of them. Uh, but it seems like, oh, Gen Z loves YouTube. Gen Z loves TikTok, whatever. But I don't know very many, or Twitch or whatever. I don't know very many people who are actually putting content out on those things. Like all the Gen Z kids I know,

they don't have a TikTok, but I don't see, I think they've maybe never posted on there or something. Like, you know what I mean? Is that true or am I just like- That's true actually. I think it's pretty common for Gen Z, like people I know just they're on TikTok. They wouldn't like promote their account,

but they're like posting things for fun. I think that's pretty common actually. Yeah. Even like, like they're not taking little skits. Or yeah, just like, just like something and just put whatever they think is silly, I think.

Sure. That's what I've seen. Yeah, because it feels like that's like the Stereotype in my mind, but then I don't know anybody that actually is really doing it. And so that's why I was curious But you're saying yeah, I think I started is pretty true. Okay. Yeah, okay Not as much like twitch though or yeah, not as much like oh like I'm trying to be a youtuber I feel like that's not quite as common anymore. Mm-hmm. Okay Good to know. Yeah.

Let's do two more. Let's see. Underwater marriage proposal. Scoopa diver instructor was arrested after a marriage proposal went wrong underwater. The instructor had placed a fake human skeleton holding a will you marry me sign in a protected coral reef area, damaging the ecosystem.

I don't like that. Arrested. Coral reef. Gotta the ecosystem. I don't like that. Arrested. Coral reef. Gotta go Florida. You'd be correct with Florida. It's Florida. In 2019, a diving instructor near Key West, Florida faced charges after staging underwater proposal

by securing a fake skeleton holding a proposal sign to protected coral formations in a marine sanctuary. The romantic gesture resulted in damage to endangered coral species in violations of the Marine Protection Act. Yeah, they're not gonna worry about that in China. No, they will not. The reef, people really get fired up by the reef.

Reef safe sunscreen, you use that? Yeah. Which doesn't, it just makes you look like a ghost? Yeah, just paint. It just doesn't really work. Just go to Home Depot for you know, you can get a whole gal another primer for thirteen dollars. Yeah, they do really care about the reef. What's your favorite reef?

I'll go first. A great barrier. Great. Oh, he took mine. Oh, I'm dude. Coral is that is that a reef or is that just all of them? Or is that just generic? All right. Yes, Tymon, I think you should. Last one here. Escape zoo animals and flood waters. During severe flooding, animals escaped from a poorly secured private zoo,

resulting in tigers, crocodiles, and snakes roaming residential areas. I don't know why I'm going here. Emergency responders had to conduct dangerous animal rescues alongside human evacuations. Fun old day. Has this come up in your research? Give me China. That would be correct. It's China.

All right. Cross the pond over there in sleepy China in 2016 flooding in Guangxi province. Oh, I think I'm going there. Okay. Damage enclosures at a private exotic animal facility, allowing numerous dangerous animals to escape into nearby neighborhoods. Special animal control teams were just deployed to recapture tigers, crocs, venomous snakes while also conducting flood evacuations.

All animals were eventually recovered though two crocodiles were never found. That seems like that's not... evacuations. All animals were eventually recovered, though two crocodiles were never found. That seems like that's not. And everyone made out alive. Two are still missing. One's dead. There were no fatalities to six people that died. It's like, well, so anyway, things to talk about when you go to China. I will bring that up. Yeah. Man, you guys like reptiles here. You got a turtle strap to you? You're just happy to see daddy.

Where's the snake goddess? Just happy to see daddy. Daddy's home. Home. Daddy's home. That's what I'm gonna say when I get in the facility. Man, that's good. Can't wait.

I should have some good stories next time you guys, well wait, not next time. Next time I'm on the podcast. Yeah. Next time. Next time. We will record again for Wednesday's episode. But we'll talk more about China. We can, anyway, I'm excited for you. I mean, there's no way that it's just gonna be like,

yeah, it was fine. Ho hum. I didn't really experience anything new. It was like another day in Shawnee. We were completely prepared. Yep. What's the latest with the tournament? The tournament. Oh, yeah, the tournament.

We just wired them like $1,800. We designed a bunch of like banners in the sizes they asked for. We just shipped them 100 paddles 50 50 if it makes it there on time. So and we don't know what the eggs are for. So there's some things being put into motion some things we're excited to see when we get there. But yeah, that's for the Vietnamese pickleball tournament we're putting on.

It should be fun. I mean, I think we're doing a legit tournament in Vietnam, which is funny, we've never done one in America, but we're putting one on. I mean, you're trying to kind of like, obviously gain favor with these Vietnamese people. Yes. If they say you have to eat the egg, it's custom. I'll be Joey chestnut in that thing.

Just one? Yeah. All right. Yeah, I hadn't considered that. If you had to choose, would you choose scrambled, hard-boiled, maybe you don't even know the difference in all these, because you're not an egg guy. Yeah, let's talk about these.

Hard-boiled, scrambled, which is just obviously just like the mushy, just, you know, scrambled. Or like the, like fried, like just like the white with the yellow in the middle. All forms, like just- Sound white with the yellow in the middle. All forms like just. Sound awful. Seems so gross to me.

Like I tried, the last time I really gave eggs a try, it was scrambled. And I was like, this texture is brutal. I've never eaten anything else like this. Yeah. Just texture alone. It's so, it's hard for me to get over. But hey, I swallow pills now.

Anything's possible. That's right. I can get over it. So talk to me about hard boiled. I think in my head, the eggs that you're paying for have to be hard boiled. These are the ones you like pick off the shell and you just eat it like it's a grapefruit or something. Yeah, they do compare them to grapefruit a lot.

Yeah, they're like, I don't know how to describe them. They're like kind of soft, like to the, like when you bite into them, it's not like hard to bite into them. And then like, obviously the yellow yolk in the middle is a little bit more powdery than the white part. The white part's almost rubbery. Yeah, yeah.

I don't know, I mean, that's over- Like an eyeball. But yeah, it is. It's a grapefruit and eyeball, like Venn diagram. I think I would take the hard boil. I think I pick it off and I throw a little salt on there. Oh yeah. I think that's what I would do.

Just douse that thing in salt. Maybe I'll try that next. Hattie. Eggs and coffee. I need to get into those. Yeah. I think those would be helpful to do like when you're in Vietnam, just get into those things. Once I get there. Yeah. Hattie is getting real kind of picky eater-ish

on her eggs, especially like does not like scrambled eggs, but we'll just take some seasoned salt and go to town on some hard boiled eggs, just fine. Salt's great. Bo on the other hand, I'd legitimately think Bo could eat eight eggs every single meal. He loves scrambled eggs. That dude, that dude's gonna be a tank.

He'll just go to town on them. Always wanting more. Good for him. Yeah. Rachel and I landed in Jacksonville first, and so we went grocery shopping for the week, and I was like, hey, let's throw just like the worst meat we can find in there for my dad or whatever.

And so I found something called hard salami. Ooh, that does sound rough. Yeah, turns out it wasn't the joke I thought it was, because even Braden was like, oh yeah. Hard salami? Yeah, he's like, oh yeah, I'll eat that. My dad was like, well, we can't let it go to waste. I was like, no, you can't, it was just a joke.

He's like, no, if you bought it, I have to eat it. It's like a wrap. That doesn't look that bad, yeah. It looked gross in the package we got, but yeah, they just. The name hard salami is a bad name. Rachel and my dad also made a bet, because we went to a smoothie place,

and Rachel got like a kale, cucumber, ginger smoothie or something. Okay. And my dad was just making fun of her, like of all the options, why would you get that? And Rachel's like, if you take a sip of my kale smoothie, I'll have some hard salami. So they did it.

Yeah. My dad took a sip of it. His exact words were were that tasted exactly like if I licked my weed eater. Yes. Like just grass, grass. It tastes like what it like when you, when you get done mowing, man, it smells good out here, but I don't want to taste it. Just lick the blade. Yeah. That's good. There is something about like when you're having something healthy, it's like, it doesn't taste great, but you know it's healthy, so it's all right. But you got there's a line.

It's like I wanted to at least have some sweetness to it. Yeah. It's kind of how I am with the vegetables. Like none of them taste amazing, but they taste good enough and you know they're good for you. Yeah. And get them down. Great.

No problem. Yeah. But the eggs. Oh, the eggs.. Oh the eggs. Oh Perth oh hard-boiled Perth That's great, dude, okay Real talk real fast. What's on your mind?

We had an early flight. Yeah. There wasn't anything crazy from our side of things, but we just had like, we only were gonna go to the second service at church. And so that just meant we had a little bit more of a chill morning. And so, you know, Catherine had some unsifted drop biscuits she made. Easy peasy. They were great. Yeah. She did the lemon, lemon blueberry ones and they were nice. Oh yeah. Anyway, she made

the drizzle or no drizzle. Oh, she drizzled. Yeah. It's Easter. You got it. You got to do it for Easter. That's right. Anyway, just having a great time. We had like, we've been doing like this morning Advent study kind of thing. And so we read that to the kids, you know, classic homeschool, like singing the hymns afterwards and everything. Just a nice chill morning. Catherine then goes and like curls Hattie's hair. Vibes are good. You know, Bo's looking dapper, whatever, all these different things. And then Catherine comes out of the bathroom and she goes, is that, is that the right time? Is that the right time on the thermostat? And I'm like, yeah.

And it was like 10 20, we were supposed to leave it like 10 20, you know, 10 30. And she's like, I thought it was like 9 45. And all of a sudden it just became chaos. And so like I took all the kids and she, well, I took all the kids, Henry was still sleeping. I took the three oldest kids, you know, Fernandino Beach and took them to church and then Catherine and Henry came later. It was like so late, but like, it was like, well,

it's one of those things where it was like, Catherine, like later on I was talking to you, it was like, you have so many great qualities. You just, you gotta work on your time management a little bit here. Yeah, she wear a watch? No, and it's- That's something people have done for hundreds of years.

It's really hard to say that to her too many times. Like I've like, I've like bought her like some nice watches, you know, yeah, every once in a while, just like, it's like, how do you say that without being too sarcastic? Like, so I always know what time it is because I have a watch on my wrist. Uh, what if you got her like a nice antique that she might like pioneer woman, like an old grandfather clock that dinged every 15 minutes or something. Something like, all right, this is

harder to ignore what time it is. She couldn't, she couldn't keep track of it. Was that a 15 or was that a 30? Oh, that could be any time. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe just go on the hour. Get her bell tower. They do, they do these clocks that you can put on your wall. So like, we have a few of those in the house. Oh, wall watch. Wall watch, wall watches. Yeah, you go wall watching in Amelia Island. Yeah, January.

Anyway, it was fine. It was like one of those things where like, I'm not gonna be too mad about this. But all of a sudden it went from like, this is great to, oh, it's chaos. Like time to roll. But Easter was good. Bowen had he sat in the service with us, which was always fun. They don't always do that or they don't do that very often.

But nice time. And then it was rainy here for Easter. And so we always go to my aunt's house for like, there's like 45 people that pack into this house. Wow. Yeah. Fun times. Can you have 45 people in your family just in town? Sometimes Easter gets a little bit of the fringe people coming, you know, like my brother-in-law's parents and his sister and you know. Yeah, your aunt's friend.

All of a sudden, yeah, it's like, okay, you're a masseuse that's single, sure, whatever. But I mean, yeah, it is a lot of people in our extended family now that we're all having kids and stuff. But we did our Easter egg hunt downstairs in the in the basement. Oh, because of the rain, which was kind of fun. Like you could hide them in some fun places in the basement.

Oh, yeah. So yeah, it was a great time and nothing too crazy. But you want frags timing? No, pagan, pagan holiday, you know. Yeah. What, you know? Yeah, what do you, do you guys have any Easter traditions time? Nothing crazy. I'm trying to think.

I think it was just church. Talked to you that night, just like remembered why it was important as a family. Sure. Yeah, it was good. Sweet. What is this little toolbox thing on the desk right here behind your computer timing?

I don't know. It's been here for a long time. Was it an ornament on the tree? Oh, tournament, tournament. Was it an ornament on the tree? That's what this is. Yeah. Kind of ornament. What was it supposed to symbolize?

You know, maybe maybe woodworking or something. Oh, yeah. Probably for you. That's sweet. I didn't notice that one. It's your ornament. I wonder if it's never been hung up there. It's always just been right there. I don't know. I just noticed it for the first time today as well.

It's a nice one. Yeah, it is. It's sturdy. It's pretty heavy. Yeah, that's how Rachel does it. She's a heavy gal. Heavy gal from Pioneer Woman. Yeah.

Great. I think I'm gonna talk Wednesday about, I got some more pickleball updates, Levothyroxin updates. Okay. I'll save them for Wednesday though. Great. We wanna do our reviews of the week?

Yes. Yeah, I'll go. And then I think Timon has a special one to do. Great. After us. I might, I'll find something. If there's a good one. I thought I saw something. Yeah.

I always search for the word reviews on my phone. That doesn't do anything. Oh. Now I'm playing our podcast. Man, I'm a boomer right now. This is a sweet one from Miley. We think M-I-L-Y, Miley. Probably.

Miley. Miley. Happy Ghostiversary five star review. I just realized it's been officially one year, one full year of being a proud ghostie, so I figured it's time to leave a review. I'd hopefully make Jake, Brad, and Tymon smile the way they've made me smile

during some really hard times. Last Mother's Day, my 10th without my mom, my husband and I lost our home and one of our sweet dogs in a devastating house fire. Since then, I've been dealing with severe depression, PTSD, and overall just a shell of myself. Then this past fall after catching up on correct opinions, she said sing that part,

I decided to give Ghost Stories a shot and it quickly became my go-to podcast. I'm not super religious, definitely not sheltered, but somehow your wholesome stories, talks of faith and heartwarming friendship have become exactly the bright spot I needed in some really dark days. Thank you for helping me make,
