Uh, Jake, I think it was last Wednesday's episode. So a week from the people listening to this today. If they listen on Wednesdays, a week in a day, if they listen on Thursday, um, well, if there's a last episode on Thursday and then this one on Thursday, it'd be a week, five days. No, I'm just kidding. Um, uh, we kind of joked about like when I was like, uh, uh, I think that's a habit that I have. I'm really answering questions that way. Yeah. I think it's like when I was like, da-huh, da-huh. Oh yeah. I think that's a habit that I have. I'm really, I'm. Like answering questions that way? Yeah, I think it's like,

it's like me showing some like excitement. And I've realized like, sometimes like that's like my way of like agreeing a little bit more extremely, but I'm like, oh snap. I think it's like a habit that I'm. Let's show me an example. So if I say like, dude, we thinking after this,

we get a little Chick-fil-A? Da-huh, yeah. That's awesome this, we get a little chick-fil-a. Duh-huh. Yeah. That sounds awesome. You have like a D sound prepared. Yeah. I don't know what, like, duh. Yeah.

It's like I've agreed with somebody. It's almost, no. Give me a different example. Because it's like I have agreed with you a few times regularly. Like just, I'm definitely an active listener when I talk to people. Maybe to the point where sometimes I'm a definitely an active listener when I talk to people, maybe to the point where sometimes I'm like annoyed with myself, I'm like, just be quiet.

But it's like the third or fourth thing I'm agreeing with during the conversation. So I might take this. You know, I've been trying to work out a little bit. I got a lifetime membership. You have a lifetime membership. Isaac is now joining Lifetime too. Dude, yeah, I saw that

Yeah, we should all like try to work out together Oh, yeah, I could see how that yeah Oh, I do I think this type means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat to Midwest best friends eating Fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet cause it's a ghost from the spark Go for a broadcast. All right, happy Wednesday, everybody. Jake, I have a random thing that I wanna know if you know about this. Great.

SBU, take me back there. I had lunch yesterday with Sam Sievers, Kyle Wiltshire. Yep. SBU, your age? Around a year older or so, but same dorm for about a year. Okay, same dorm for about a year. Was this the same year that they lived in a suite

with a 40 year old man? Oh. Do you know about this guy? I have an idea who they're probably talking about. I was just telling my dad about this guy yesterday. Dude, what do you remember about him? So by the time I was a junior, I lived in a different dorm and he was the RD of this dorm.

Okay, resident director. Yeah, he was like in charge. And we noticed that he was like sneaking out between like two and three a.m. every night. And this is like a single guy living in the dorm. It's like, what is he up to? And so we staked out a couple nights. And of course he like didn't leave that night.

And there was one night he left and he like, he shook us. Like he lost the tail. Oh really? Yeah, we one night he left and he shook us. He lost the tail. Oh really? Yeah, we don't know where he ended up. So yeah, I've always thought about that. Yeah, he was an interesting guy. He knew every single kid's dorm room number. Oh really?

It was like his thing. It's like 418, see ya. Yeah, it's like the creepiest form of autism. It's like I know exactly where you live. And I know which bed's yours. And I know what time you enter and exit. Yeah, you like cream soda. Okay, so this guy that I heard about,

maybe the same guy, but they claim that he was married and had kids. Oh, so I just told a story about a different random guy. Which is also kind of crazy. There's two different guys at SPU. Oh yeah. They just live in the dorms as 40 year olds. Dude, I don't know this guy.

That's so funny. So this was just a non-traditional student, just living in the dorms, married with kids. I had, like, we've probably talked about it for like 20 minutes, because I was like so enamored. Because they were talking about, they were roommates. They've been friends since like, whatever, grade school. That's been so weird.

And they were like, suitemates. There was like, you know, two, two different rooms that shared the bathroom kind of thing. And I was like, okay, so you guys had your own, like you guys were roommates. Like, yep, yep, us. And I forget this guy's name, Darryl or something like that. Darryl and Troy.

And I was like, and they're like, yo Darryl, we had some stories about him, you know? And they said it like, it was like, kind of like, you know, just like one of those kinds of guys in college is like, whoa, whoa, whoa. So he's married, but he lived in the dorms. And he's like, yeah, he's like 40, 45 years old. What an interesting thing. Cause SBU is pretty strict. They don't have coed dorms, but you could do like visits. Like, does he get like conjugal visits? Like if you're married, I don't, yeah. Once every other day. But I'm like, what in the

world, what kind of, and they were like, they said that he's like from near where you were from. Fair, fair play, fair hope? Sure, fair hope, yeah. Fair Grove, that's where my dad grew up. Fair plays in other town. Is fair hope, that's where I'm from. Fair hope, I don't know.

Okay, fair, maybe fair play, I don't know. Wow. But I was like, wait, wait, wait. Jake's not from that far away from SBU. What are they doing? How far away do you think Fair Play is? I don't know where Fair Play is exactly, but it can't be more than an hour away.

Like I'm like, this guy, like there's something wrong here if he's like not willing, like I guess his kids were like 10, 12 years old. And he'd rather sleep in the dorms. He'd rather just not see his family. Also, what's the financials behind this? Like, how is he, where is he making money? Like, how is his work?

And they just like kind of just like laughed and all. They're like, yeah, I don't know, it's kind of weird. Like, I was like, that's beyond weird. To have like a 47 year old dude. Yeah, the guy who held us back when we played Call of Duty Zombies. He was a little older than us, so he wasn't really with it. He did not do well on the sticks,

but like, I don't know, just all about this. Who was this guy? Maybe he was a year before you, but apparently like this guy's a lawyer now. Like the guy went on to do things. That's SBU for him. I guarantee you he went to some other college after SBU. I think they said that he has,

yeah, he's got some billboards up, probably near Stratford. Maybe your dad knows about this guy. Wow. So anyway, maybe he's your dad's lawyer. You know, there was a guy who used to have billboards up on your way to SBU, you know, just one of those guys, Kirksey was his name.

He was like, billboard after billboard after billboard. It kind of like, we get it. You do personal injury law. And I saw that guy just shooting in like the intramural gym one day. I was like, that's the billboard guy. That's Kirksey. What's he doing here?

There's Banksy, there's Kirksey. And he was like five five. And I was like, this explains the billboard. That's curxy. Yeah. What's he doing here? There's Banksy, there's curxy. And he was like five five. And I was like, this explains the giant billboards. Oh yeah. This makes sense. He's overcompensating. He needs it. Now why are you in here at noon?

I want to be 10 feet tall on that billboard. Can you make me like really big? Yeah. Please just a little bit bigger. Thanks. Thanks man. Can we go vertical on this thing? Oh, I got to talk to them. I wonder who that guy was.

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, they, like, I was like, you guys think this is weird, right? And they like, I think they just got used to it enough over that year, but I'm like, those guys were 18, 19 years old. Yeah. Like, what are their parents think of this?

Like, what are you still like, he's still married, but the same, to the same woman, like all this stuff, I don't know. Apparently he loved the Dallas Cowboys, and he ate a lot of that Doritos Nacho cheese dip out of the can. That was like his thing. No wonder he didn't wanna do it with his family.

It probably kicked him out. I think I know this kind of guy. I think I know what... Wow. Anyway, I really didn't go down to that. They were on the first floor. Okay. And that was where the football players were. Yeah. So I was pretty intimidated't go down to that. They were on the first floor. Okay. And that was where the football players were.

Yeah. So I was like pretty intimidated to go down there. So I don't know who they're talking about, but that doesn't surprise me. Just weird stuff. Yeah. Lot of weird stuff. Anyway.

Speaking of Christians, Please. I was at a pickleball tournament Saturday and there was a little boy, he's four years old, and he was going up and down. Only four. First biking with no training wheels, now learning to pump.

If Anna was talking about this kid, she'd be saying, only four years old, evangelizing. Really? That's what he's doing, it was awesome. I heard him go up to another guy, just like a stranger, stick out his arm. Hey, what's your name? I'm Isaac.

You talk to him for a little bit. He'd say, do you read your Bible? Oh, wow. And this other guy, you know, some like 30 year old guy was like, uh, no. And then this kid was like, you should. Oh, wow. And the guy was like, oh, okay, buddy.

And then he asked him, he goes, are you saved? And this guy doesn't even know, like I'm watching the whole interaction, like this guy doesn't know what the kid's even asking. And it was like really cool to see it. And then he came up with this guy. Yeah, yeah. His parents are just like,

Parents are not there. Go do your thing. I went up and found his parents later. And I was like, your son Isaac is awesome. I was talking to him and everything. And the, lost my train of thought. Oh, but then later I got the treatment as well. It was great, and I had a great time talking to him. And you know, you saved?

Yes, I am. I said, are you saved? He's like, not yet. It was so funny. It was so like he thought about it. He's like, yeah. I'm not really old enough to really comprehend it. I'm going to wait a few years. He didn't say that, but he he's like, yeah. I'm not really old enough to really comprehend it, I'm gonna wait a few years.

He didn't say that, but he was just like, I don't know, I don't know if I can believe. I'm weighing my options. But I know I'm supposed to ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of like in the transfer portal right now. We'll see, we'll see how much money I get from one versus the other.

But yeah, I just went up and down, and so I told Molly back, I was like, have you seen this four-year-old Billy Graham? She was like, oh yeah, I talked to him. I was like, did he ask you about the Bible? She goes, no, he just talked to me about dinosaurs for five minutes. She's like, oh.

He's trying to lay it base, you know? Yeah, he's like, why didn't he ask me about it? No, he just talked to stegosaurus for way too long. No, he just told me about his favorite cereal. That's amazing. But then like 30 minutes later, he went up to her again and he started talking to her. Do you read your Bible?

She was like, every morning. That's so cool. Yeah, so that was really he went up to her again and he started talking to her. Do you read your Bible? She's like every morning. That's so cool. Yeah, so that was really fun. That was a fun part of the tournament. Yeah, how did it go with Molly? It was a long day. It was, you know, I tried to do a good job, like pressing, like starting my Apple Watch workout

when I'm playing and pausing it when I'm not. Two tournaments the same day, both were within three minutes of each other. Me and Isaac played four hours and 12 minutes. Me and Isaac played four hours and 12 minutes. Me and Molly played four hours and 16 minutes or something like that, I forget. That's how much you actually played Pickleball? Give or take, yeah.

Not just like you were at the tournament for four hours. Yes, but like, all right, time to play. Wow, that is so much. Yeah, you get your money's worth. It's a cool tournament, because it's like you play everybody in Round Robin, and everybody makes the tournament or the bracket So it's it's great. You do think you get your money's worth. How many games you think you play?

I think I played about 12 in each turn. So I played 24 games of pickleball that day. That's awesome Crazy, that is a lot, but it's great. Got some really good content. Um, you know, it was work. I'm working. I'm working Working here. Yeah, I read my Bible, but I'm working right now, Isaac. Isaac, okay. You see the camera, buddy? Yeah, dude, get away. Hop on it, bud. Hop on it, bud. Hop on it, buddy. Hey, go talk to those pagans. I'm good. Yeah, yeah, we're fine over here. We're fine. Dude, you ever had that scenario happen? Like you get witnessed to by like someone a little... Yeah, 100%. Like Jehovah's Witness, and there's nothing you could say to convince them like I'm good

I'm actually better than you are I'm good. Where are you go? Yeah Flip the script on you. Yeah, you're lucky. I'm working here. I'll talk you about the bridge I a hundred percent like like uh, I was trying to think I was talking to somebody the other day I don't know if you're Christian, but we're Christians here. And like, and I like tried so hard to be like, I'm like, I'm also super Christian. Like, totally, totally. Like not just like kind of like, I'm like big time into it.

Like really love it. Like not just like, I don't cuss, but like I, I cuss every once in a while, but like, but like, but like I try not to, you know. I cuss at my wife. Okay. I, I, I yell at her sometimes. I cuss at my wife and minorities and that's it. That's it, right?

And I have some flare ups in traffic. Yes, of course. That's it. And whenever they take too long in McDonald's, I cuss them out. And my pastor rarely. Very rarely. And that's via email.

Well, define rarely, right? But I'm with you, brother. I have never been sued. I forgot about that guy. He still texts me, dude, you got to come by the office. And I say, ah, I'll think about it. Oh man. Maybe.

Anyway, what was it? Oh, when Jehovah's Witness, Witness to you. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, oh yeah. I don't know if you had more to say, but yeah, it's always country. You're like, no, I'm good. Well, so it was yeah, I don't know if you had more to say. No, no, no. Yeah, it's always country. You're like, no, no, I'm good.

Like, well. So it was a lot of pickleball. Me and Isaac, it was our first five-o tournament and went undefeated all morning and round robin play is really fun. Ended up coming in fourth. So we lost our last two games kind of like stalled at the end there.

Isaac even like, he's like, did that whole last video, all you're gonna hear me say is sorry. Cause he was just like, dude, I'm like, he's like, did that whole last video, all you're gonna hear me say is sorry. Cause he was just like, dude, I'm like, he's like, I slept like three hours last night. I'm just like, I'm out of like energy to burn. Like my body can't go. And I was like, dude, it's a third place game. Who cares?

You know, so that's all good. So we just got smoked. But you think it was like partially just like the fatigue? Like that? A little bit. I mean, cause normally Isaac has a better motor than me. So maybe it was mentally me knowing I have four more hours after this, but also, because normally Isaac has a better motor than me, so maybe it was mentally me knowing I have four more hours after this,

but also, yeah, he was like, dude, I could not fall asleep last night. I only slept three hours. He's like, I'm just struggling right now. So I was like, all good. So we came in fourth, which was really fun. And it was good to see, you know what's a good sign? When there were so many Friday bags there

that I kept putting my stuff in the wrong one. That's kind of fun. That doesn't happen with the bags normally. The paddles, sure, they're everywhere, but the bags are popping. So that was fun. And then, yeah, I knew what Molly and I had signed up for, but it didn't really become apparent until we were like,

let's do a big group photo. And then it feels wrong for Molly to be in there. It's like 31, I mean, it's just like a lot of people crammed into a pickleball court for an iPhone photo and just like little Molly in there. It's like, man, this is like, I like felt bad. Oh, she just texted me. What do you mean?

I don't know. I just felt like I'd like signed her up for like, it's just intimidating. It had to be intimidating for Molly. Just like. You felt bad for her. Yes, yes, yes. It's like, ah, this is weird.

It's one thing to play gets one in the net, but like to be amongst all these dudes, like sorry I signed up for this is weird. I didn't, it didn't stop me from getting a really funny video of it all. Just like all these guys, and Molly's like, hey guys, hey guys, here I am. But no, I was so proud of her, she did great, because yeah, we're playing in basically a 4-0 tournament.

And I mean, without fail, the first three points of every game, these guys, it was like that meme where the guy blinks and shakes his head. You know, it was like that meme where the guy like blinks and like shakes his head. You know, it was a little bit like, oh my gosh, I kind of like maybe judged her, underestimated her. Because yeah, where me and Isaac are very patient players and very much just like take our time.

It's like Molly and I can't afford that. She's played less pickleball than every single person here. We need to just pedal to the metal, win the point as quick as possible. So we just hit the ball as hard as we could for about four hours straight. It was fun. And so we end up coming in third out of 16 teams.

So yeah, I was really proud of Molly. And won a little money, won like 250 bucks. Third place, 250 bucks. I know. That's great. It pays to not be a pro. This is a good like level to be at where I'm at right now. Cause we're not five O's really yet. So we don't have to compete against really good level to be at where I'm at right now. Because we're not five-ohs really yet.

So we don't have to compete against really good players, but we can still win some money. That's awesome. Four or five tournaments. Heck yeah. See, I was really funny. Two stories from this besides Billy Graham, Isaac the four-year-old.

One was I'm setting up the camera myself to film our next game. And a guy about to play me and Molly comes up, he's like, hey dude, are you filming for YouTube? He's like, I love the channel. And I was like, oh my gosh, dude, that's awesome. He's playing with his dad, you know, it's just a real wholesome team over there.

And he's like, we're playing you guys next. I can't believe I'm gonna be on the channel. I mean, just such a great interaction. Dude, thank you so much. I'm excited you love the channel. As I'm setting up, he's like, what's this video gonna be called? And we had like met them. And so I was up, he's like, what's this video gonna be called? And we had like met them.

And so I was joking, I was like, we're gonna call it, can I beat Carter and his dad 11-0? You know, we're kind of like, okay, joking around, whatever. And we start playing and it's five zero, six zero, seven zero. And me and Molly are like talking, like hiding behind the paddle, like we gotta do something. Like we can't, this looks so mean. The people please are in both of us. Like we can't really. This looks so mean. The people please are in both of us like we can't beat them 11 0 after that joke.

Why did I say that? Why did I say that? We can't beat them. 11 0. It got to 9 0 and we started lollygagging a bit and then we won the point anyway. And I was in a turmoil. I was like, well, I have to throw it. I have to throw it. I have to throw it. And so I hit my servant in the net

and then they were serving to me next. And then I hit the next ball into the net. I was like, I can't even leave it up to chance. I have to end the point. And so I need to control this myself. Yeah, it was such a, just people pleasers nightmare. It's like, why did I make that joke? I feel like now it's just, it's got a whole different,

you're going to be able to drive home. Like that guy's kind of a, yeah, he's kind of a jerk. P word. You know, like that wasn't funny at all. Actually. Right. Can I beat Carter's down 11 to zero? Uh, I hope they don't actually title it that, you know, yeah, that's good. It's good. They did it, but they beat us 11 to one. Was it 11 to one? 11 to two. Okay. Yeah. Gave him one more, but that was too bad. That was really unfortunate that I made that joke. And then the other funny thing is, isn't actually that funny, but I get done with the tournament Yeah, gave him one more. But that was too bad. That was really unfortunate that I made that joke.

And then the other funny thing, this isn't actually that funny, but I get done with the tournament in the morning. I go to Chipotle, fuel up. A couple of the guys that we've kind of become friends with, they get in line behind me. And so I'm like, oh, what's up? This is like our first time hanging out outside of a pickleball court.

It's fine. Like, dude, let's sit down and eat together. And I was like, what are you up to the rest of the day? He's like, oh, me and my wife, we're moving apartments. And I was like, oh, that up to the rest of the day? He's like, oh, me and my wife, we're like, we're moving apartments. And I was like, oh, that's cool. And it's like, he's telling me this as I'm like getting up to the front of Chipotle.

And so the timing was just perfect. I was like, you upgrading? He's like, no, the old one was just like awful. Like we, and this is like right when I get up there, he goes, dude, it flooded one time, we had bats and I found a dead body. What? As soon as he says dead body,

she's like, what kind of rice? I'm like, yeah, hang tight. White rice, chicken, queso? Yeah. And then I'm just having to order, be like, did he say dead body? I don't know this guy super well. But so there's like a four minute buffer.

I'm like, man, I can't wait to have that. Dude, dead body, I don't care, cash or card, whatever it's like a four minute buffer. I'm like man. I can't wait to Care cash or card whatever whatever you think Yeah, not asking me questions It was perfect timing and So yes, it's saying he was throwing away His cat litter one morning, okay, which if you got a cat in an apartment You kind of got it coming. I mean you basically have a dead body He's throwing away his cat litter

One morning before work and I guess gets a peek inside the dumpster I know how he sees it, but there's just a dude. That's a corpse that is in there That's like a nightmare. He said it messed him up a little bit. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm so bad Yeah, he's like just drive to work. What messed him up a little bit. That would, yeah, it messed me up so bad. Yeah, he's like, I just drive to work. What do I do? Yeah. He called the cops and then- Have a one-on-one with your boss after that?

Like, how are things going? Pretty good here, but wow. Do you have a cat? Yeah. Well, it's coming for you too, buddy. My tabby's really been pissing me off lately. I don't know. So yeah, he said everything's fine, but he's like, well, then I kind of got questioned a little bit.

Sure. Yeah, you're like part of it. How do you know about this body, young man? And so then, then it was like, girlfriend's getting involved. Like now they got to ask her, like, does he have an alibi and all this stuff? And he's got to clear his name. Yeah. And, uh, man, so if you see something like that, is it better to just not say anything?

Yeah, 100% don't ever say anything. Yeah, that's smart. I've seen nine or 10 dead bodies that I haven't told anyone about. Jake's from Missouri. He sees them all the time. Yeah. Yeah. And I just, I just let them be. I throw a cat litter on them and I move on. I think it is better to not have to like, just tell them truth that you weren't around. Like it's better than, than for nothing to happen about it. Even if they do like some of like,

we actually saw security cameras, it's like you saw this dead body. You say, that wasn't me. You compound the lies. I don't even live here. I don't know if you were watching like 90 sitcoms, but when they compound lies every time in those episodes, nothing bad ever happened.

And if it does, they wrap it up in about 22 minutes. They do. It goes quick. With some nice heartfelt Ending yeah, I asked her. I was like, did you find out like? How'd a body get in the dumpster? He's like we kind of didn't really care or want to know but he said he found Seven individual knives. No, no in the guy. No, so I don't know what I guess that's homicide I mean you guess what else What else could it be?

The other kind of a side, I guess. I don't know. That's wild. Yeah, it's gotta be, right? It's crazy. Just right here in like Overland Park. No. Yeah, he lives here. I was gonna play Kansas or we played Florida or China.

I was gonna play Kansas or Missouri. Yeah. Kansas? Yeah, somewhere in, I forget what apartments, but somewhere in OP. That's the first time anybody's ever killed anybody in Kansas. There are no famous people, famous serial killers from Wichita or anything. I don't think so.

Wow, that's wild. So that was fun little Chipotle. Let's talk about this more. Yeah, we're changing, that's just a funny question. I don't think I would have even asked, are you upgrading or whatever? Yeah, tell me about that. I think I was just trying to, you're clearly excited about it. I want you think I would have even asked, are you upgrading or whatever? Yeah, tell me about that.

I think I was just trying to, you're clearly excited about it. I want you to tell me about the new apartment. Yeah, I would love to. Yeah, that's gonna be awesome. There's no bats, no bodies. Right. Bats are good.

Yeah, bodies are fine. We saw on the pamphlet it said bat free. Wow. Yeah, they have had some bad luck though. It wasn't even like, they said this was, I don't know, I guess last summer maybe, Kansas going into a little bit of a drought, they said it was in the middle of a drought,

like a water pipe burst in the parking garage. And so it just flooded the car like up to the windows. It was only like five cars. And one of them was there. Yeah. She said they were just watching it from their apartment window and just like, the lights are coming on the car and the trunk is opening and no one's around like that can't be good. It's got so much water that it's just it's just

Doing its own thing. Oh, yeah, it's not good. Yeah, it's just oh, what's the trucks open? It's done for it's floating away. Yeah That trunk They must have like some safety feature of like if something happens pop the doors open the trunk Yeah, if you're this soaked, wow But yeah pumped pumped for them and and in the end it was nice Just gonna sit down with purely pickleball friends and have like a 30 minute lunch with them. Yeah, it was great. That's cool Yeah, dude. I that's wild. I just can't comprehend any of that. I've never lived in an apartment in my life That's that's a rich

Must be nice boy. That's not true. When I kind of insensitive time, it's about to live in order right now. I don't think it's insensitive at all. I think I'm just trying to time. And when I lived in Spain, I lived in an apartment. I take it back.

Thank you. I also lived in an apartment. When I studied abroad in Spain, you know, on my parents dime. No, I'm kidding. Hey, here we go. That thing inflatable. There you go. Right over. Yeah. Hey, here we go. That thing inflatable? There you go, right over.

Yeah, stuff to do with headphones. Thing, it looks comfortable. Oh, it's nice though. Wow. This is gonna be me. That's gonna be me. 16 hours tomorrow. 16 hours, so you go.

Well, three, three then 16. Three to SF. Just like this. Just like this. Have you thought about getting some wired? Oh no, you said you got some wired ear pod, like AirPod. Yeah. I was thinking like headphones, like big ones,

like bring that one. Oh, that's a good idea. I already, well, if they're, yeah, I guess they're just gonna be a backup then I can do like smaller ones because the AirPod should work. Can I say this? Go ahead.

If the AirPods don't work, those are not gonna be very good as far as like the noise cancellation. I know, I know, just to back up. Big boys would be nicer. I know, but it's just a backup. Hey, is it a backup or is it like the main thing? It's just a backup.

They don't need to be nice. Yeah. How? This is nice. You guys probably use your AirPods all the time. You're gonna fall asleep. You're gonna be like bow and haircut. Oh, I'm good. I use my AirPods pretty often.

My AirPods are pretty messed up. Here's some things that got, I've washed them twice. So my, hand up. It's my fault. That could be it. Yeah, a hundred percent. Well, there was one time I think I got in water and one time I washed them.

So like, they've been in water twice. Soon as I washed them once. Well, they've been in water. So they washed them once. Well, it should work. Define wash, right? But like they kind of work, but they have to connect them every single time, like, which is annoying. And then sometimes-

Like manually, like this is a Bluetooth device. Big daddy's AirPods Pros. And sometimes that doesn't even work or like it, but then also when they're charged, sometimes they're not plugged in, like they're not getting sensed by the cartridge to charge them, you know? Yeah.

Is it worth getting new ones? Like, because I don't, I mean, I use them, but I also have other Bluetooth headphones, like these that I use a lot. So I'm like, do I really need AirPods that bad? They're kind of, they're not that expensive. Like they're like, it's one of those things where it's like, Oh, I could never afford AirPods.

Like you can save up for AirPods if you really want them. 200 bucks. Yeah. It's like, that's not nothing, but it's like, I can save up for that over five months for $40 a month. I can do that. Yeah. You can budget out AirPods, but it is, it's enough where you're like, I can't, I'm not just going to willy nilly, oh, I want this. I'll get it. I don't really need it, but I kind

of like it. I kind of have some that work. Like when they, when they're connected and charged, they work fine, but they, that's just, you never know if they're going to be connected and charged. So if I were in your situation, I would absolutely bring other headphones because I know that mine aren't going to work for, can't last a little time. No, cause, because they're gonna like sometimes they just think that they're unplugged the whole time So they're never getting charged or never they're just juicing out dad gum it so I don't know I I've gone back and forth for months about this of like should I Honestly, it's been a while like since I've had functional air pods like that just are reliable. All right. Here's your solution You don't need a budget for all of it,

but what you're gonna do is the next, if you could think of something that you would normally pay for that costs like $50. Like you know what, I'm not gonna do that, and I'm gonna treat it as like I got $50 off my AirPods. AirPod fun, yeah. Yeah, and then it helps you pay for it. Bose haircut.

We just- One more Bose haircut. Yeah, we saved a few more Bose haircuts. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, then it helps you like pay for it. Bo's haircut. We just more Bo's haircut. We just, yeah. We saved a few more Bo's haircuts. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe something like that. Something like that. I mean, every time like we get good ranchers, they send us meat. And so it's like, that's, that's a win right there for us. That's a good point. All right. Meds. Meds. He's also free, free meal, basically. So we basically get AirPods every week.

All right, so they're already free. Yeah. You already got them. Man, anyway. What are we talking about? The pillow. Oh, I think it just started with me grabbing this, I guess. Oh, so it's got some strings on the front

to tighten that bad boy up. Yep, we're fully engaged right now, fully tightened. But I can go loose if I want to eat some cereal or something. If they serve cereal on the flight. They might. You don't know. Oh, I didn't think about the food. That's amazing that you haven't thought about.

You've thought about so many things. Pure the entertainment. Oh, bring a shaker bottle and some protein. Get some water. Deja Blue, please. Hey, buddy. Hey, Jake. What's going on man? Oh, sorry.

It's coffee guys. That's right. Yeah, just get it. Just get it You ever done water out of a can like that water out of a can like liquid death

Oh, yeah, I guess liquid death is water out of a can. I'm thinking like on the flights like Sometimes they know you don't see that. I don't think I've done it No, they might do it. I just don't know if I have I only say no cuz I don't want to go to the bathroom Oh really? Yeah, it's like a big huh? So yeah, what's the window? I was gonna say you're gonna have window for sure this time Well, I like to be aisle for the long flights Really? Because then I'm kind of the the master of my own domain You're the captain but then what if the window guy has to go to the bathroom and you're asleep? Yep. That's, that's the bummer. Yeah. That's shucks. Yep. Yeah. I got Isaac and I, so it's like the plane, the seats are

three, five, three. Yeah. So I got Isaac and I, the aisle on the, on the middle row. Okay. Oh yeah. Is that better? I think that probably is what I would have done too, but then I'm like, cause then, are you both aisles? You said- Yeah, we're like, we're both on the end cap of the middle section. Yeah.

So then hopefully if you're, you fall asleep before Isaac, everyone's going out Isaac's way. That's a good point. You gotta be the first one to sleep. Yeah. Oh no, but I drank that Red Bull. Yeah, but you guys think like a short flight, let's cozy up in the corner.

Oh yeah, long flight, gotta need to stretch those legs. And I want access to the aisle. Walk up and down, do some lunges. I would never. What would it take? I don't know, I got to be feeling pretty sore, I guess. Dude, the same thing I was talking about last week with a bunk bed, like the cozy corner of a bunk bed

That's how I feel towards like the window on an airplane Yeah, something about like I'm kind of in my own space over here I like being in charge of the window and just like it's just me I don't have to worry about anyone else because it's not even like I'm leaning on the side of it, right? But it's just I'm in my little pocket. Yeah, I like it Yeah, those flights are intimidating. Like they're just so big and huge and crazy. You don't even like board normally.

You like board in some middle section. You're like, what's going on up there? And they say, don't look up there at the rich people. Don't look at them. They don't want to be looked at by you. They say stuff like that. Did you look into how much, like, was your plane one of the ones that has the lay flats

or whatever they call them? Oh, I don't know. I wonder how much those cost because I just once just once I want to do it I'm not trying to be like I need that every time but like that'd be awesome. Let's see San Francisco to Hong Kong first class. This is round trip 10 grand. OK. And do you remember how much yours were? Quite a bit. I think mine was like. 1700. Yeah, it's a lot more.

That's a lot more. You can get a lot of neck pillows for. Think about the AirPods. Seventy three hundred. Oh, yeah. Most of the time it's even more expensive than that. Either way. Really? Like that's like that's like. Yeah, pretty much any other time. It's even more expensive than that. Either way. Really? Like that's like, that's like lower in. Pretty much any other time it's like 16 grand.

Wow. How many points? Does it say points? Hey, what does that translate to for points? Is it telling me anything about points? I spend like, yeah. All right, let's, I have one fun little life update and then we'll do some chores.

Great. A month on Levothyroxine and I noticed my first like effect, side effect, but in a good way. I'm no longer a cold blooded person. And it's like, I didn't even know that was one of the things but I looked it up and yeah, I'm like not cold anymore. You hear that guys? I'm not a cold anymore.

I'm not cold anymore. Yeah. Wow guys? I'm not a cold anymore. I'm not cold anymore. Yeah. Wow, that's pretty significant. I know. To the point where I'm like, I can't believe that other people, as much as I've podcast, I can't believe there have been more people out there like,

oh, you're constantly cold, you might have a thyroid issue. Oh really? And maybe they have and I missed it. I've always heard like cold is iron. And that's what I thought because I didn't eat that much red meat. Right. But, you know, the because I didn't eat that much red meat. But the more I've been Googling it,

yeah, your thyroid controls a lot. I mean, that little flap in your throat does a lot. It's a lot of hormones, a lot of, anyway. That little pill does all that. That little guy, little mini M&M. So I'm big advocate now, I'm telling everybody. My dad's like, it's freezing in here. I'm like, get your thyroid checked.

It's because your thyroid's messed up. Get your thyroid checked. I was telling my dad. It says it's freezing in here. I'm like, get your thyroid checked. Cause your thyroid's messed up. Get your thyroid checked. I was telling my dad. 54 degrees in here. Nope. It's the thyroid thing. Nope. Get your thyroid checked. I told my dad, told my sister, I'm a big advocate now. If you're, if you think you're cold all the time, if you hate movie theaters and restaurants and all that, you think it might not be purely genetic. It might be some genetics, but it could be a thyroid thing as well. So does that mean you're hot now all the time? I noticed myself getting warmer. So when I first noticed this was a week ago,

when I found like the degree I normally have it in my car was like three degrees colder than normal. Okay. And at first I was like, oh man, my car. It just doesn't pump like it used to, I guess. And then it started down to me more. I was like, you know what? I bet the car's more consistent.

I was like, this is me. And then I started thinking about it. I was like, wait, I've been cold in a while. Wait, I turned my thermostat down in my house. Wait, I've been hot like podcasting all week. Oh my gosh, my body's changing. I'm a man now. I've done it.

I have armpit hair. I'm a real boy. Yeah, I called my doctor. I did it. I'm a man. Dr. Tony, what was his name? Yeah, something like that. Now that you mentioned it,

I think you were hot when you were filming those like Friday promo stuff. Yeah, I kept Something like that. Now that you mentioned it, I think you were hot when you were filming those like Friday promo stuff. Yeah, I kept turning it down. I wasn't like super hot. I don't think. Thank you for validating. Yeah.

So I, it changed four weeks thyroid medicine and it's actually working. That's good. What else is it supposed to do? Um, I'm supposed to be, it should raise my metabolism. Okay. Which is probably happening because when I got that DEXA scan, it said my BMR was only 1588. That's how many calories I burned just staying alive.

Right? Yeah. Okay. Which is pretty low. Okay. So that's probably helping. Okay. Supposed to be more alert.

Yeah. The symptoms that are more of a gray area and more like subjective, I'm so bad at noticing those. Like, are you sleeping better? Are you more alert? Maybe I don't like focus, if it's not like a black and white thing, I'm not very good at noticing it. And I always just, like if I'm not alert

or I'm not whatever, it's just like, I'm not attributing that to that. I'm just off today. Yeah, like, oh well I guess I could've slept more last night or you know, you could find a million reasons why you don't, I just don't think about that stuff very well. The other thing that I have noticed,

one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is hoarseness in your voice. And I did eight podcasts last week and was staying strong. So like hey, Levo. Hot and hoarse. Hot and hoarse. That's awesome. Hot no hoarse. Hot no hoarse, yeah I guess. Hot no horse. That's awesome. Hot and no horse.

Hot and no horse, yeah. Hot and no horse, new podcast dropping. Anyway, so turns out sometimes your doctors can prescribe you something good. Interesting. Sometimes the things you have in your body make a difference. Yep. So I'm excited.

Yeah, I'm excited for you. Live, laugh, live with thyroxine. That's right, baby. Helping. Just a mainstay on the podcast excited. Yeah. I'm excited for you. Live, laugh, live with thyroxine. That's right, baby. Helping just a mainstay on the podcast here. Yeah. Um, that's it. Somebody, uh, Jennifer, I think, uh, podcast fan, uh, really thinks we should make merch that says, but first level thyroxine, cause it's like, that's like the first thing you're supposed to do, right? Yeah. Like you gotta wait 30 minutes to an hour to eat. And so it's like literally like before you have coffee, like, but first love with that rock.

That can be funny to do a little test just with that shirt alone, do some like targeted ads to people and just see if we could just like build this like hypothyroidism community. Like, oh, I got to check out this podcast. It was kind of wild. Like when you mentioned it, like so many people, I don't think I'm single man.

It's all women. But that's great. Women are the consumers anyway. Like they buy the t-shirts. So we'll, we'll get on that. So the first level, first level, thyroxin, um, valid or high horse. You said horse. And I thought, what about this? Uh, valid or hot horse valid or hot, hot horse. Um, this is random. It's not having to do with that except for horse. At McLean's sometimes,

I think I've talked to you about this before off podcast. I will have my cup of coffee there, drinking it, doing my work and they'll come by with a spray bottle around the tables next to me. Yeah. While you're eating? Yeah. And they're spraying a little liberally pretty close to me.

And sometimes it's a little too like, you know, if you're spraying it down, like, yeah, you're getting on the table every once in a while. It's more like a, you know, almost almost horizontal. And I get worried about, Hey, is some of that spray getting in my coffee? Yeah, my coffee, my food, my laptop. No, valid valid. What I do is when they start spraying near me, I put my hand up and I say, how much are they paying you? I'll double it just to stop.

Just for you not to poison. Cause it seems like it's like busy work. Like if you're cleaning a table at someone's sitting at, you're trying to look busy for your boss right now. Oh, I'm not, they're not even doing it at my table. Is that what you're saying? Like, oh, I've had that happen before. That's what I thought you were talking about.

I'm talking about like the one next to me. Like, oh, they are spraying like a maniac. And so, so sometimes I'll do like just a subtle movement of my like, or if it's getting bad, I'll kind of raise up like this, do a little of this. You raise your eyebrows too? Yeah. Nope, no problem.

But it's like, how airborne is that Clorox? Like, am I drinking it right now? Yeah, is this COVID at the beginning or COVID what we know now? Yeah, yeah. Do I live on surfaces? Yeah, is this COVID at the beginning or COVID what we know now? Yeah, yeah. Do I live on surfaces? Yeah, I've noticed it with my own table and that's where it's like, dude, just chill.

Yeah, just get it when I'm done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't mind if they bus my table. Do you mind that? No, you can bus. You can bus, but that's it, this table's busing. All right, quick pop quiz. What is a waiter's favorite question to ask when they are trying to bust you

and you've still got some food on your plate? Oh. Still working on that? Yes. Close, close. I'm looking for something else. Still working on that, are you? Still working on that is probably the most common answer. Are you done?

Still picking away? Yeah, still picking at it. Still picking at it? They love to eat like a chicken. Guess who's never been asked that question. Still picking at it. Me. Me. Really? Yeah. You. I only said that because I've heard you say before. Oh, picking at it. I've heard definitely still like still working on it or like still. No guess who's never been asked any of those questions. Still ravishing that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you still wolf that down.

You want three more. You still housing that thing. Oh, wow. You love that double smash burger. Whoa. Mahi and the Mahi. You're still looking at those crumbs thinking you can maybe lick your finger and then like get scooped those up a little bit. Yeah. You deciding which egg to eat little boy. Yeah. I've never been like, I don't know if he's still working on it. It's like, they know it's like, sometimes they'll look at me for my wife's plate. Like you still working on that or you're going to share it with your plate. Yeah. Yeah. We're good. We're good. Yeah. Almost done. Oh yeah. That reminds me of a, still picking at it. A flashback to scraper games. Okay. A can of cuck. Yeah. Having the syrup on there. Yes. You ever do that?

So if we can try and explain. So being the scraper at a can of cuck, having the syrup on there. You ever do that? So if we can try and explain. So being the scraper at a can of cuck table is like the worst punishment you can get where it's like, we're all gonna pass our food to you. You take a spatula and you just kind of scrape everyone's plate all on the one plate. Consolidate it for the people doing the dishes and stuff. Yeah, it's nice.

And then one person takes it up, dumps it in the trash. Easy peasy. It's a fun way to teach some good habits, help out the kitchen, and also just to make some memories playing scraper games. All sorts of games you could play. A common one is just like in the middle towards the tail and then they're just yelling like, freeze.

And then everyone has to freeze, first person move. Oh, you're the scraper. I like do a little combo. And so on like pancake day, everyone's got syrup all over the plate. You say like, all right, today, we're having a plate cleaning competition. Yes. So on the count of three, you can only use your tongue. We're trying to get all the syrup off your plate. Okay. Everyone understand? All right. So lift up. So three, two, one. So everyone's

got their plate and then as they go. And then once they get going, then you go freeze. And then all the syrup just runs out of their lap and they don't want to be scraper so bad. Those let it go. Oh, they're committed to the bit. That's amazing. Yeah, dude. The classic like, yeah.

All right, jump on somebody's back. Freeze. Freeze. Yeah, your camp was just a little bit older kids and you could do more stuff like that. A little bit. I mean, my kids were six and seven years old. A lot.

I was in like the first barn. And so yeah, half the time it was like, I'll just do it. They really wanted to play scraper games. So we'd try to play some because sometimes it was literally just like, all right, put your spoon in your ear and last person didn't notice. Yeah. And then there was just one kid that never noticed. And it was like- He's gonna lose every time.

I was like, so Dominic, what do you think? Was that good? Yeah, did you like that? Oh, oh, oh. And he looks around and everyone else already has it. He starts crying. It's like, oh. All right.

Yeah, you have to like make it like a fun with the younger kids or else they really feel bullied. Like- And there were always, I don't know, there's always like some counselors who get a little too into Your scraper games your table like you yell freeze and they instantly start messing with your campers. Oh They're like looking they're like they're like looking next to you like trying to be like police like Chill. All right, and stop putting apple cores on my kids heads. All right, I'll mess with them

It's like get this is my thing dude. You got your own scraper game. Go over there dude yeah 100%. The lazy counselors they would just do a wheel of scraper every time. All right we're just gonna spin it. Yep. I thumped my nose at them. Come on think of something. Come on Wheaton. Do something. Do something Wheaton football. Come on Wheaton. Wheat head. football. Come on, meathead, weed head. It was always Wheaton, dude. No, that's one. Yeah, let's do it. Okay. So we're doing s'mores of the drunk drawer. It's not like you said the drunk drawer. What is s'mores of the drunk drawer? Take your pick. Step right up. So for picks I take I take a little this Little dad and whatever's on that top. I'll take some wild turkey

Shmores of things in your junk junk drawer or drunk drawer. Don't turn could be one of both Everyone's got junk. Where are your junk drawers in your house? Used to be where we had the silverware then Then the organizers came, switched it up on us. Took me a while to learn. Slow learner. Oh, I need a fork. Ah, there's the post-its. Oh, I gave away my first pick.

Oh, don't take it, don't take it. What about you, Time? I don't know if we have, I think it's like, I'm sure there's one forming somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. Since we've redone our kitchen. Oh, really? Because I think it's always kitchen somewhere. That I haven't found it yet. Since we've redone our kitchen. Oh really? Because I think it's always kitchen somewhere.

But like I remember where it was. I remember it was before the remodel, but I don't know if I know where ours is right now. Really? It's more so, well no, I kind of do. There's more, there's like with the remodel, there's a little like, I feel like it's like a one and a half by one and a half foot like shelf area.

And that kind of gets stuff just like piled on it. Junk shelf. It's like a small surface, junk, junk, small surface. Junk, small surface. Yeah. Yeah. We got a few of them. This was kind of hard. Cause I was like, where is our junk?

We definitely have like a little, we call it the hutch in our kitchen. It has a couple of drawers in there, but then we got a whole room of like homeschool stuff, you know, office stuff, toy stuff, and so it's like, there's a lot of drawers in there. Is that the junk drawer? That's kind of junk.

That's kind of, it's not really junk. It's like, that's specifically for the tape, but like, whatever. Don't take my tape. Anyway, I don't even remember the last time we did Schmores, so I don't know who got, went first. Tymon. Tymon is, you get to choose the order.

Okay, cool. I'll go Brad me Jake, right? Yes, right Brad Jake all right. My first one is I'm gonna go a little bit obscure for the first one and just say Mystery charger. Yeah chargers is good. Mystery charger. You look at the end. It's like some off-brand. What is this good? It's like dang. I don't even remember. Yeah micro HDMI What is this for like the the remote control car that we got? Yeah, just like but could be universal or could be really specific. I don't know what I'm looking at We need this thing like this is the only one

There's just a lot of that. Just cords and yeah, mystery charger. Yeah. They're wadded up too. You want this one, but you're getting a couple other with it. Oh yeah. Rat's nest. So yeah, that's good. Mystery charger. Yeah. This was the first thing I thought of for some reason. I don't think this is very common or maybe it is the first thing I thought of like, I thought of junk drawers, rubber bands. Yeah. I think there's like, Oh, and they're all like very colorful rubber bands in ours for some reason. Sure. I don't know why.

Dude, that makes me think go forward with the bands, dude. Coming up. Coming up. Dude, Hattie does this all the time. Rishi likes it. Like sometimes I'll be like, oh yeah, dog should be like, yeah dog, yeah dog. And now Bo's starting to do it.

And I'll just look at Catherine, she'll be like, I do not like this. Because both right. Yeah. Yeah, dog. Yeah, dog. I'm wearing Nike dog. Kind of. Yeah. Rubber bands. Rubber bands. You know, when we were setting up the Chick-fil-A drive-through episode, you asked for rubber bands and I had to get them from like a pickleball paddle or something. We don't have rubber bands. We don't carry them. You don't know one does, but you just carry them. You don't, no one does, but you just have them in the junk drawer.

Somehow they're there. So someday. There's this one time where you buy rubber bands and you're like, I don't know where to put the rest of these. You got them for the rest of your life. And there's six of them in there and they just either multiply or, you know, one out, one in kind of thing.

Yeah. They'll always be there for you. This is the first one I wrote down. Glad it fell to me and picked number three, batteries. Batteries that might be dead, might not be. You know, it's like this one's kind of loosened out of its package. Could Rachel have put one back in there

that she took out of something? Maybe. I don't know if this works or not. Also, can we talk about batteries real quick? How do batteries, like if there's two batteries and the thing is dead, does that mean both of them are always dead? Or, you know what I mean?

It seems like they should both die at the same time, but no way of knowing. That's what I'm saying. Cause like, yeah, I don't know. Cause every once in a while I'm like, do I need to throw both these away or should I figure out somehow if they're alive? I've thought about that too.

I don't know enough about batteries to know, like do they, should they always like lose their charge the same amount? It's like one working a little harder. Tires himself out sooner. Have I told you about the battery daddy? No. Catherine got me this as a gift one time

and it's kind of like an infamous gift. It's like this organizer for your batteries. It's got all these little slots. Look into this. Yeah, look into it. There's a few iterations of it now. It's kind of these little slots. Look into this. Yeah, look into it. There's a few iterations of it now. It's kind of like the scrub daddy thing. Oh my gosh.

So. Oh wow. She comes home one time, you know, and it looks like, yeah, I see it through the, through the, like her bag. Like she didn't hide it very well. And I was like, why'd you buy that? Like I was, I didn't have a great reaction to it. I was like, we don't need something like this.

It's got a battery tester too. Dude, it's awesome. But I gave her such a hard time. And she's like, I was getting it. I thought it was written to be a really good gift for you. And I was like, truly I did not react great. I was like, what, why? I don't understand.

Do we need this? We don't even have that many batteries. And I was like, so you're gonna like fill it with batteries like to give to me? She's like, no, I'm just gonna give it to you like it is. And I was like, I you're going to like fill it with batteries like to give to me. She's like, no, I'm just going to give it to you like it is. And I was like, I don't understand why it's like an exciting thing to just get like a box for batteries. We use it all the time.

I was going to say color me impressed. This thing is awesome. Holds 180 batteries. It's awesome. It's kind of tester. And all of a sudden also like our kids just use batteries all the time. Like we're in the battery stage of life.

Oh, yep. We're not just recharging things. We're putting new batteries in it. So the battery daddy, we don't have very many batteries in our junk drawer anymore because of the battery daddy. But it's nice. Yeah, and we do charge them or test them sometimes. Catherine will go in there and be like,

ah, this one's still got some juice. I would. So that's cool. Wow, that is neat. Good gift. Next pick is gonna be a pin. maybe if we want to get more specific a pin that works once you scribble Yeah, you know on the envelope of for a little bit You gotta like yeah engrave something in the paper. So your tongue on it

Pin that works after a few scribbles. Yeah, and once you scribble a little bit Yeah, that's a classic in the junk drawer. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know This is it's like what your page or drawer. Yeah. I don't know if this is what you're picturing. It's like from a bank or something. But like what I picture is just like, it's like a, it has blue ink and it's like a ballpoint and I just don't like using it at all. For some reason, that's what I'm picturing.

Yeah, it's like some brand on the side of it. I'm like, how did we get one from a hospital in Topeka? Yeah. Who knows, why is this in our junk drawer? Oh yeah. I love that kind of stuff. I don't know why. I like, like if I find find a pin I'm like, I'm gonna take that pin That's kind of a fun way to be like, oh, yeah. I remember we went to that hotel. Yeah. Wow

It's never crossed my mind. Yeah, I steal pins. All right. I don't know if it's stealing or if it's just like hey We have pins you can take them complimentary. Yeah, I don't know about hospital in Topeka But maybe if it's like remember that crazy time had a had a good time there, man. Yeah. Yeah, so Good answer. I don't know what Mean means somebody wins for this type of thing. So I'm just gonna go with another thing I thought of earplugs we had like earplugs in our drunk drawer like junk because your family sings so much Yeah, right. Alice is like no, I don't want to hear anymore This is just like a random member. I think we had like the squishy earplugs.

Yeah. I think they were blue. But yeah, that's just something that was in our junk drawer. I think maybe it was like partially, some of us maybe would get swimmer's ear or like not sure. But like the beginnings of that, and it was like it helped for swimming or something. Yeah.

Yeah. Those things are like you buy a pack and it's like 300 of them and so you buy it's kind of rubber bands words like you buy them once and you are good for life Like they'll they'll show up in anywhere overflowing in the drawer Yeah, I have a lot of earplugs just randomly in the wood shop to just everywhere So I went to buy a waterproof band-aid for my cut. Uh-huh. And the lowest quantity on Amazon was 50. Oh, I need two of these. Yeah. So I'm set for life on waterproof band-aids.

Yeah. You'll be good. Yep. Put them in the junk drawer. Someday you're going to be 58 years old and you're going to be like, Rachel, finally ran out. Waterproof, we got to get 50 more. Yeah. We did it. Yeah. Okay. My next one. Let's just keep getting a little obscure.

I'm just going to say in general, sauce packets. Sauce packets. I originally wrote down Chick-fil-A sauce packets, but nice to have a couple of sauces in the drawer. Never have I ever had sauces in my drawer. Yeah, same. You should get some sauces in your drawers. They're great.

Sauce packets. Yeah, especially Chick-fil-A sauce, dude. It's just like, it makes everything better. And so sometimes it's like, have some around. We always have the bottle in our fridge of Chick-fil-A sauce. How much does that cost? I guess I don't know. I might not get it once I'm in the apartment.

I'm a thrifty guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, once you're in the apartment, and all of a sudden you're keeping those sauces. Won't have those luxuries anymore. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Once you're in the apartment and all of a sudden you're, you're, you're, you're one of those luxuries anymore. Yeah. So yeah. Sauce packets. And I guess my next one, um, let's go with, uh, it's kind of the same thing as like that charger

thing, but like screws that you're not sure if they're like vitally important or if it's just like a throw away thing. Why do they keep this? I must've kept it for something. Cause every once in a while it's like, we put together a crib again for the first time and forever it's like, where did that hardware go? We need that hardware so bad. And so it's always like, I don't know if Catherine put it here, if I put it here, if this, you know,

so I'm just going to keep it. So random screws. It's good. It's good. I'm going to say chip clips. Oh, on my list. Yeah, I thought about putting that as well. Plenty of those in there.

And I know where those are kept. Maybe that'll become the junk drawer. The junk drawer. Okay. I feel like I'm saying drunk drawer every time. Yeah, junk drawer. Yeah, chip clips or whatever you might call them at home. Yeah.

Yeah. It's good. It's good. Rachel bought some Snoopy ones the other day. That's fun. Yeah. Because I, and I agree, we do need 36 chip clips. So I think it makes sense. Amazon is tough.

Is that where she got them? Well, I think we just already had, I had bought some, our organizers gave us some, and now we got Snoopy ones. So we have three options. Every once in a while it's like, I didn't realize that we had so many of those. It's like, oh yeah, we've gotten a few of those.

I love them though. Yeah. I'll clip anything. It is fun to clip. Yeah. Turkey Jerky's got a Zipl those. I love them though. Yeah. I'll clip anything. It is fun to clip. Yeah. Turkey Jerky's got a Ziploc. I don't trust it. I'll clip it. You're talking about like the pinch or zip? Yeah, it zips back, but I'd like to pinch as well. Okay. I like to chip clip.

Yes. Here we go. Here we go. Satellite, radio. Cozy Earth hits us with that boom boom. That's a Black Eyed Peas Cozy Earth collab that I didn't plan until now, but we're going for it. If you guys don't have Cozy Earth, you need to have Cozy Earth. And that's not the only Black Eyed Peas song they collabed on. I got a feeling, ooh, that tonight I'm gonna get

a good night's sleep. That tonight's gonna be a good night's sleep. That tonight's gonna be a good night of sleep. The night's gonna be a good, good night of sleep. Tonight's the night we cozy earth with that viscose. Viscose, viscose, from bamboo. We turn the roof. Turn the roof. Turn it down.

Turn it down. I don't know. Of course we turn the roof. Turn the roof. When it gets too much, just turn the roof down. Oh my. And who could forget that other classic, the parody to I'm a Bee. I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm asleep,

with Cozy Earth, I'm asleep, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, Cozy Earth sleep. I'm a sleep. I'm a sleep. I'm a, I'm a with cozy earth. I'm asleep. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a cozy earth. That comp thing. I don't know. How did that song ever become a pop? I'm a B, I'm a B, I'm a B. It just say that over and over again. Now where is it also kind of cool.

That's a good song. Where's the love is a generational song. It doesn't really fit black eyed peas because it's so good. Justin Timberlake made it. Yeah. What would the cozy earth version of that be? People sleeping on our pillows

and we have the bath towels and you have the socks on your feet when you wipe the other cheek. Yeah. That's a good point. When you have socks on your feet, oh, perfect time to wipe the other cheek. I'm just saying they have bath,

they have things for the bathroom. They have things for the bedroom They have things if you want to wear pajamas Where is the snug? Where is the snug? Where is the snug? Where is the snug? And that's just a taste. We've got eight more songs ready to go,

but we'll save them. Yeah, we'll save them for next time. Yeah, we'll do like more specific, a Fergie rendition of stuff. We'll do more Will.i.am, we'll do some stuff, y'all together. Point being, their things are snuggie,

things are cozy, they're earthy. A lot of it's viscose from bamboo, which if you're unfamiliar, trust me, it's really, really nice. They just sent us some pajamas. Yep, pajama jams. They're not even for me, but I felt them. I like them.

Rachel freaked out. Catherine wore them that quick. She got them, she wore them that night. Wearing them ever since. Hasn't even washed them yet. Where's them? Eight nights in a row without washing them. Just kidding.

The pajama, I mean Rachel really freaked out. They were like perfectly soft, perfectly fitting, lilac, pajama set. It was everything she could've asked for.

It feels wrong to throw them away. Doesn't it? You're like, well, I got them from somewhere. two picks. I'm going to say checks that have been deposited. It feels wrong to throw them away. Doesn't it? You're like, well, I got from somewhere. I just deposited one mobilely this morning and it was like throwing the junk drawer for a little bit. Yeah. And like once a year, I will throw them away eventually, but you got to keep them for like a week just to make sure they like go through. Oh no, my computer just died. Oh boy. What was it? So yeah, checks that have been deposited. I've had a check for like two months on my nightstand that I'm just like not, I'm like,

I can't, I can't throw it away. I feel like it's like worth something, but it's not. It's been deposited a long time ago. Yeah. But you're just, there's something that feels scary of like, if I throw it away, yeah, then I might lose this money. Yeah. What was the last time you guys wrote a check? Oh, when did I have to? I think it was maybe to buy the Bondi truck. Yeah. I think I mailed a check to the guy. Okay. Man. It took longer for me to find my checkbook

than it did for that check to get to Oklahoma. Oh my gosh. Where is this going to be? You ever written a check? I don't have a checkbook. I don't have a way to, I hope I like, I'm going to see if I can get by without ever having needing to. Yeah. See, I don't know. Like I feel like as things progress, maybe I won't ever have to. Yeah. You were writing cursive. Oh, no. I could you. I could write, I think in a decent amount of lowercase cursive, but none of the capital letters. Capitals get a little zonky sometimes. No one likes the capital capital Z. Q even going on there. Don't try too hard Q. Just yeah. Yeah. My signature is kind of like sloppy cursive,

but that's like the only that's the extent of it. Yeah. Good job. I should try sometime. See how rusty I'd be so bad. Just see how it feels. Yeah. What else did I put on there?

I'm gonna go with, hey, TJ's calling. Should I answer it? Sure. See what he's got in his trunk drawer. My guy. I am looking for Brad Ellis from Ellis. Wait, wait, before you say whatever you're gonna say. We are recording the podcast right now.

You are on the real estate mogul. What's up, dude? We're on the podcast right now. On the podcast, Ghost Writers podcast. Ghost Writers podcast, baby. Oh, let's go. It's a Ghost Writers podcast. Hey guys, welcome to the show.

I've got two different options for you. Yes, this guy, this guy does it all. I'll take both. I'll do it all. What's going solar and pa.com, right? Yeah.

Let's go. What a URL. What are we talking about on the podcast? We're talking about our junk drawers right now. We're doing a Mount Rushmore's s'mores of junk drawer things. What do you think when you think of junk drawers at your house? Chaos. Sure.

Depression. Sadness. Failing t-shirt business. I was going to say, is this because the junk drawers? Because of the rage. Junk drawer I'm looking for. If I'm going to the junk drawer, I'm looking for some random screws that I think I saved in a plastic bag for some piece of furniture. I said that dude.

I'm looking for nail clippers. Oh, those are gonna end up in a junk drawer. Keep those in your bathroom, weirdo. My first choice is the bathroom. I would look in the bathroom first. Yeah, but you never know. I would look in the bathroom first. Yeah, but you never know. Second, I would look for nail clippers. Third, I used to look for scissors, but now we have one of those fancy knife things where the seniors have a spot.

Okay, scissors. Oh, I see. People still buy some t-shirts. Yeah, so, solar's going pretty well. And then third thing I'm looking for is like, oh man, that's a good question. Maybe like stamps, like the real agreement. Oh, that's good. I pay in the mail. Yeah. Because you don't need them very often.

I actually know your junk drawer. I'm not trying to get too personal, but the one in Hawaii, I multiple times, I think both times I've been there, your key fobs have died on your cars. And so you had little like circle batteries in there. Yeah. Key fob batteries. Yeah. Key fob batteries. Yeah. Brooke needs to organize her junk drawers right now though. And she knows it. Hope she's listening to this. She knows it. She knows she's failing on the junk drawer. That's good. Yeah. We're kind of finishing up this thing right now. But yeah. How do you? Yes. How do you feel about depositing checks electronically? Do you throw them away

right away or how long do you keep them? Oh, I keep them. Yeah. It feels wrong. Big time. Yeah. It feels wrong. Well, here's the thing. I deposited it. I got some money back from the government. Yeah. And I was waiting for it to go into my account and it like didn't go the next day and then it didn't Go the next day and then it didn't go the next day. And so I clicked on it on my app and it was Telling me oh there seems to be some inconsistencies in the check and the image Yeah, it may take up to five days, but it cleared everyone cleared But hey, you never know

Correct yeah, there's just something about it Jake doesn't even deposit half of them. He's just like, you know, I don't need that All right, I'll text you right. Reme check. My people will contact your people. Great. All right, TJ. We love you. I deleted it.

Yeah. Yeah, you deleted. Yeah. You're like, I don't need that number anymore. Yeah, storage. Take up too much storage on my phone. Yeah. All right, buddy. Love you, we'll talk to you later. See you.

Love you too. Oh man, that's funny. My last pick, might lose some people here. I don't know if this is relatable or no, but my last pick is gonna be the box that your iPhone came in. Wow. It's something I never throw away

and I just like, that's where it goes. Like, oh, new iPhone. I guess throw that. I just like, that's where it goes. Like, yeah. Oh, new iPhone. I guess throw that it kind of next to the chargers. Yep. It's in there. It's a nice spot to put the checks on top of. They kind of fit together. How do you feel about that? A little bit younger than us.

I don't think I have kept my iPhone box. Really? This might be a millennial thing. Yeah. Then again, I think if I, I think I would have if I were more organized or like thought through things more because I was like I think I just when I got my recent phone It was like used but it's not like I like I think was like the original box And so I think I just like took the phone out and then I like had to leave for voice lessons came back And my box is gone. I might have kept it, but I also was not by it Yeah, for whatever reason I totally I don't know if it's in my drunk drawer

but I totally resonate with like, I think there was like a rumor back in the day that like your MacBook box, you could sell it just the box on eBay or something. Oh really? They are premium box. It's just such nice packaging. You're like, oh, that was so smooth.

I don't know. It seems nice. Apple does something to you. Or it's like, they just make you feel like, yeah, this box is so valuable. It's like cardboard. Yeah. It's just like a nicer version

of what everything else comes in. But it's like, I can't throw this away. And there's not even anything, there's just papers in there. Or the sticker, the Apple sticker maybe. Yeah, never used an Apple sticker. I don't know how to put on any sticker. I think it's nice and clean.

I tried an Al Jean sticker phase for a little bit, but that was it. I'm never on my computer. That seems like too nice of a thing to defame. Yeah timing times good Yeah, I'm clean. No tattoos. Yeah, no tats That's good. That's a good one. I think I like Jake's picks right now I'm gonna go I think This is more in my childhood and I more so just want to like ask to see if any of you guys know what I'm talking About so first of all my pick is matches. Okay. We always had a match or fire guy

What was last time you lit a fire and wrote a check? Not recently no, but Yeah, like I think in modern day nowadays, we would just have a lighter I don't think we have matches at all like in a junk drawer But we used to have these like thin yellow like match book Yeah, like things and I'm trying to remember what word they had on them. I can't remember But we used to have these like thin yellow like match book. Yeah. Like things. And I'm trying to remember what word they had on them.

I can't remember. I thought it was safe. Probably. But I don't think it. But I save. I just want someone who's listening to this to like know what word. I think it was like four letter word. It was this bright yellow packaging.

You think it'll always save like the brand that could be it. We're always saying. Yeah, I think that's it. Great value or something. Yeah. Well, there we go Yeah, I think it was always saved or like yellow. I think since I thought it was safe. It's gotta be safe Look up look up always save. Yeah, let me see images. Let's see the yellow and red. I feel good about my answer of always safe See

Yeah. Oh, yeah, is that it? Yeah, is it classic dude? Yeah, so always save matches Always save matches. Yep You throw them away. No, no always save them. They said not to Brad you final pick Sorry Sorry, somebody post something the Facebook group about Good Ranchers is stopping their affiliate something. And I was like, I don't think that makes a difference for us. I hope not.

All right. My final pick is going to be, I'm going with a tried and true here. I'm going, can I go with both these? I was going to go coupon slash gift cards. Do I need to pick one? Cause if so, I pick coupons. That's kind of, it's kind of, it's kind of in the same vein. Same lane. I was gonna go coupon slash gift cards. Do I need to pick one? Because if so, I pick coupons That's it's kind of it's kind of in the same same same lane

You know, you just you see that coupon for free, you know cheese dip at the local Mexican restaurant You're like I got to tear that out I have to tear that out and then it's like that'll save me four dollars fifty cents and it's like every time you go there You're like dang it. I forgot the coupon at home. It's in the junk drawer. So we're big, yeah, tear it out. Growing up, we were a big tear it out coupon family. Coupons don't do what they used to. Coupons used to be something to behold. We always make fun of, so Casey Crew, the company who does like all the rec sports around here,

they give them credit, they do a good job. They partner with so many different other businesses to offer you discounts, but it's like, they do a good job, they partner with so many different other businesses to offer you discounts, but it's like, hey, the bar of the week, they always tell us at volleyball, hey, after game night, you can get 75 cents off nachos at Johnny's, it's like the most minimal coupon just for playing a volleyball game. And this week we partnered with Oh Shanahan's,

dollar off if you spend 20 bucks on beer. It's like, it's the worst discount. I'm like, who's taking advantage of this? Who's going here? Yeah. It's a good effort. Yeah, exactly. And they are, it probably is a full-time job

just managing all those, but still, such a funny discount. Yeah, it's like, that's not gonna move the needle for me to get there. But then again, you're thinking of Johnny's all of a sudden. At least it's an option. And also, you're not the target market for all that stuff. I know when I get done playing volleyball, it's nine o'clock. I'm like, let's hit a tavern Yeah, let's let's let's make this six more hours Socialization. Um, alright picks. I said mystery charger sauce packets random screws coupons time

It said rubber bands earplugs chip clips matches Jake said batteries pin that works after a few scribbles and checks that have been deposited, and box that your iPhone came in. Jake, you're winning. I like Jake's. Yeah. Thanks guys. Timon's are kind of vanilla, mine are kind of, I don't know, mine are fine.

Jake's gonna win. I predict after the first day, yeah. We'll call it six hours after Madison posts this. I think Jake's gonna have 53%. Tymon's gonna have, I'm gonna make it easy on myself, 27%. I'm gonna have 20%. Fox News is gonna say call it. Call it.

Call it. Call the race. It's decided. Yep, so, all right. Honorable mentions, yeah. Scissors, like TJ said. Plastic utensils. Like, you don't use them for the cat.

You keep that plastic around. Do I love me? I have opinions about Tripoli's forks. I think they have great forks. They have amazing forks. I do. They have amazing forks. They're so smooth.

And they're built well. Yeah. I like I don't like it. I don't think you're wrong. It's just so great And so everyone like when I get my own utensils from Chipotle, I grab a few extra. Yeah I don't use them on non Chipotle, but if I forget someday and I had Chipotle at home Yeah, gotta get the Chipotle fork out. There's something about you're saying if you have Chipotle at home You you're like you'll go to the Chipotle fork, correct?

I mean, I get I get I get kind of sad when if Catherine will pick it up and she'd be like, I forgot forks. I'm like, we got to use a metal fork on this thing. It does feel wrong. But not if you have some in the junk drawer. That's nice. Pins and pencils. You said that. Notepads. Yeah. Post notes. Tape. I put tape.

It's not a sexy pic. No, it's not. It's a time. Let's see receipts. You ever have like a grocery receipt in there? Yeah. Once slipped in there. So we don't even keep receipts. Why is this in here? That's the idea of a junk drawer is like, why is it? We don't do this. Why do we have this? Yeah. That's speaking of, I just wrote camera question mark. I think sometimes I'll find a camera. It's like, I don't think we should throw this away. At one point. This was worth some money. I bet that's where we kept our old. We had like a little blue point and shoot camera. I bet it was comfortable. Yeah. It was just small enough where it's like, it's

not that much of a hindrance to keep this around. Yeah. Chapstick, paper clips. That's all I had. Yeah. I had Sharpies, coins. Coins is good. Can't throw away coins. Yeah, I said magnets for like the fridge. Oh, okay. And like chore list. I think like we used to do,

or like we would always do like every evening or like 4 p.m. Like we had to like clean up before dinner. And so like every little list of stuff to do. And so I'm sure of stuff to do. And so I'm sure the old ones of those would be thrown in the junk drawer. Love it. Yeah.

I think the only thing that hasn't been said on my honor mentions has just been keys. Like the key to something. Yes. Like, I don't know, that's where I keep the Bondi truck keys right now. And I think a key, like something in our house, who knows what part, what door even works for it.

I've sold some cars and I still have their spare keys. And like, you know, like, like this goes to the lock, like the glove compartment on my 93 F-150 I had eight years ago, I think. But it might also go to the safe that has a thousand dollars in it, just in case. It's like, so I'm gonna keep it around just in case. This reminds me, when we bought this house,

it was not like, it wasn't a great handover process. They told us the garage code, that didn't work. There's a lock box on our front porch, and what they told us the code was, doesn't work. It's like, we don't have a key, and we've been just fine, but it is kind of a funny quirk. Just like, we just never got a key. Wait, what do you mean?

You have a key. Maybe they did give it to us, but I don't know where it's at. We never got a key. Wait, what do you mean? You have a key. They maybe they did give it to us, but I don't know where it's at. We've never used it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't have a key to your house? Like how do you lock it? Lock it from the inside, use the garage.

Oh, just use the garage. Yeah. Wow. The garage stops working, we are screwed. You, you can replace them. You know that? Like I didn't know that. That sounded-

Like go make one. Or just like you get a new lock and like the key on- Key comes with it. Yeah. I would have no idea where a key to our house would be. I don't think. I don't know. But it's not my job to know.

So- Not really in charge of that. That's why. I don't think we've ever, I don't think we would very rarely have to implement a key in our house. Like it's always garage garage is unlocked or like Use the garage or it's like if we're gone on a trip. It's like I shouldn't disclose this information

It's like leave this one side door open sure the neighbors to feed the cats or whatever. Yeah That's great Man go to Branson tomorrow. Oh cool. That's fun. I think. I'm going to Branson tomorrow. Oh cool. That's fun. I think I'm gonna go to Branson. I think it's Memorial Day weekend. Are you going to the Canuckucks 100th year anniversary thing?

I have only heard about that from you. So I didn't, I'm not getting. I'll keep bringing it up. I'm not on the listserv for that I guess. Listserv? Listserv? Is that not a thing? It's a K-State thing.

Oh like ISIS? Yeah. It's a portal. I'm not on ISIS anymore. List server, yeah, it's like the name for like, if you're on that, like, if you're in the email chain. Like an email list or whatever. Maybe that's a corporate thing,

maybe that's a case date, I don't know. Ping me later. Yeah, how are you here on social media? I don't even know where I heard about it. Maybe an email or something. I don't think any of my friends have talked. It's Memorial Day weekend. I think so, for the troops.

Yeah, I'm going to Branson twice in August already. Well, it's kind of three times. I'm gonna drop off Hattie and then pick her up from. Oh no, that's not in August, that's in May. That's the end of May. Dude, May is like right now. Dude, it's the end of May into, yeah, into June. June would be next.

So when's Memorial Day weekend? Maybe I could just double up. Isn't that kind of close to, like Memorial Day weekend's usually like staff training week. This year, Memorial Day is the 26th. So 24th, 25th, 26th. Yeah, I think that Hattie goes to camp. She's going to term one this year.

Ooh. Right away. I know, I know, dude.ie goes to camp. She's going to term one this year. Ooh. Right away. I know, I know dude, as a, as a ex staff member, it's like, We're kind of getting the kinks out term one, especially the parties. They have a lot of energy and a lot of nervous energy. Like, yeah.

I just say the parties and the skits, they're just going to get so much better after term one. They dial it in. It's inevitable. Yeah. But I mean, you, you don't know the difference here, camper. You have a time in your life. No, she's just trying to go with Jake S loves daughter again. Perfect. So I'm like great

So wait, what are you doing tomorrow Branson? Oh, yeah So go into sight and sound to see David play shout Mariah Garrett for hooking it up and shout out to David Shout to David for the life. Yes playing about man. I'm excited. It'll be fun I think bows really boat like has always loved David and Goliath. So like I think it's a pretty close like pirate adjacent thing. Yeah. Cowboys and Indians, maybe, you know, like villain kind of thing. Yeah. He likes. Yeah. He'll he'll love it. And so that is going to be great.

So just family trip. Yeah. Just a little family trip. And then, yeah, the next day getting hooked up with the Silver Order City tickets. So it's like just just kind of like holding loosely to the whole thing of just like, just kind of like holding loosely to the whole thing of just like, I don't know if we're gonna be in Silver Hour City for six hours or for an hour and a half.

I don't know if we're gonna, if Hattie's gonna love the rides or if it's like, I just wanna go watch the cloggers all for an hour. So, or whatever. Is it gonna be warm out? Can you do like the water stuff, you think? I have not, I don't know. Catherine, it's Catherine's job.

That's one of those things, I never check the weather. Really? Until maybe like I'm packing the night before or something. Yeah. I wonder if, like, because to me it's like, unless it's gonna be crazy cold or crazy hot, it's not gonna bother me. Yeah, you take that with that, Roxanne.

You're regulated. Just take a few more Levo and I'll just, yeah, warm up that way. So. That's fun, I love Branson so much. I'm jealous you get to go. That's gonna be a good weekend. Side town, Sarar City.

It's truly just like the perfect, like from Kansas City to Branson is an easy trip. It's a great family vacation. Like it's relative, I mean, it's gonna be really cheap for us because we're getting hooked up with these tickets and like. Where are you staying? We're staying at the Holiday Hills, you know where that is?

Like, yeah, I've stayed there before. Yeah. A little golf course there. They got an indoor pool. That's all I really care about is like, the kids are going to love the pool and it's like a little like quote unquote sweet room. So it's like a, it's got like a kitchenette kind of thing so we can have some meals there and stuff. So easy, low key. Let's just go and just kind of, we have some plans, but besides that, let's just have fun.

So tomorrow we've got Branson Hong Kong timing. I think I'm just sticking around. Usiris. Yeah, baby. Yeah, we'll leave the back door unlocked for you. For the kitty litter. Yeah. Gonna get the drone out this weekend. Gonna get the old bird up. That's what they do. I probably, I probably will.

I'll keep testing stuff. Yep. And I'll, yeah. See if I get. You do the tracking thing. You like run and see how well it films you. I need to test that more. I did like one little walking shot.

It's cool. Dude, you should do it riding a horse too. That'd be fun. Cool. That would be cool. Yeah. And like circle around you. You need to get aviator glasses and start calling it a bird.

Like, yeah, let's get this bird up in the air. You want to catch the weather balloon today? What are the conditions? That's fun. Trying to get the old bird up. Dude, I finally learned how they steer hot air balloons from a YouTube video. Tell me.

Wanted this for years. Would love to know. Because all it is, it's just fire, no fire. Yeah. I'm not steering wheel on there. Right. I learned, well, I guess I didn't learn because I don't remember.

I don't know, every 500 feet, like a decent amount of space, as you go up in the air, the wind is blowing different directions. So from zero to 500 feet, blowing west. From 500 feet to 1,000 feet, it's blowing east. Just, that's just a rule? That's just how it goes.

Really? Yeah, it's crazy. Oh, interesting. And I don't know if it's always like opposite, you know, these video, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know how dumbed down they made the video or like if it's like, opposite, you know, these videos, you know. I don't know how dumb down they made the video or like if it's like, yeah, it's going north

or north, northwest. You're like, well, I can't turn around then. But yeah, I guess like you just get up into whatever stratosphere is not the right word, but whatever level on the elevator you need to get to, like, oh, I need to go left. All right, well, we need to go up a little bit. Now we go left.

All right, now we need to go right. All right, now I need to go down a little bit. And that's how they steer. Cool. Now we go left. All right, now we need to go right. All right, now we need to go down a little bit. Huh. And that's how they steer. Cool. Makes sense, but I would have never thought of that on my own. Yeah, that's something you find out on accident, like as you're going up.

Also, do you think you would be willing to go in a hot air balloon? I'd love to. Yeah, I think I would. Yeah, I think that'd be super fun. I do a quick Google search on like, just like playing the odds here. How often do people like die from it?

There's probably not severe injuries from this. It's all or nothing. Does it seem like in your head? Yeah. Does it seem like in your head, the outside of it is like a picnic basket or something? Yeah, it seems like it's all wicker. Yes, it's always a wicker.

That doesn't, like, I need like, like a triple pane, like window style. Like I need like three layers of protection on this wicker. Yeah. It's something maybe not flammable, like this wooden straw we're using to hold me up and 12 inches from the large fire. Yeah, right. It does seem like, like that's the thing that bothers me. Not the fire above me or like, but just like, I need a little more of a shell of protection in case I trip, you know, I'm like, you know, Catherine's like, Brad, come look over on this direction. You bet baby. Yeah. That's all I'd worry about. I might have the wrong like picture of how big one of these baskets

is because I'm like, is someone saying, Oh, come over here? No, I don't think so. No, they might be big. They could be. They probably have different sizes. They're probably a little bigger than I'm picturing. I'm going to say, I don't think they're they're that big two and a half elevators worth like you can move around a little bit Rachel me Katherine you made you feel whoa That's a great way of describing it Yeah, us three two and a half elevators worth Yeah, elevator is coming different sizes elevators coming different. I was in a small one this weekend You don't. I was in a small one this weekend. I'm picturing. You don't know.

I was in a single person elevator recently. We could barely fit two and a half of us in there. You didn't know that going into it. That's my bad. I'm picturing one average elevator at the biggest. No way of knowing. No way of finding out. My computer's dead.

So yeah, that's true. I guess we'll never know. I would do it with you guys. If Midge is in, we got to Brad. Yeah, that's true. I guess we'll never know. I would do it with you guys. If Midge is in, we got her, Brad. Yeah, I think so. Midge will be, yeah. She's the hot air balloon girl. You've always said she's hot.

Yeah, I forget the last two words. And you're referencing the hot air balloon thing. I always forget to finish the sentence. Yeah, I just get carried away. Oh, man. Good times, good away.

Like Silverar City does not have to to be like they don't have to ride a bunch of rides.

I saved some for next time. What's the one with all the flooded mine? They're both so pumped about that. Yeah. It's a shooting game. Yeah. It's awesome. Oh yeah. You better bring your own like WD 40 though. His fingers are exhausted by the end.

Anyway, just great times. My pre-win of the week, just shout out of the week, shout out to Tymon. Thank you. Yep. Thank you for the claps. I would say I had Florida vacation bumping right into now, which is Asia trip. Well, right when I get back from Asia,

Friday we're releasing our first new paddle in like 15 months or something crazy. It's a lot of just effort going into it. And it just got last like Monday at dawn. I'm like, oh my gosh, I need to, I got to shoot everything. We got to figure this all out. So Timon was super available, crushed it. Feel free to put whatever you want on screen, Timon,

but like took some really cool pictures of us. A lot of really cool videos and yeah. So it's gonna be fun to like, now we have all the ammunition. Now we can like piece it together. Like how do we want to tease this, promote this, whatever. It's really fun. I like a good launch, you know? So, but it's nice to have the content to help out with it. So that's do we want to tease this, promote this, whatever, it's really fun. I like a good launch, you know, so.

But it's nice to have the content to help out with it, so that's the shout out to Tymon, but it was not super stressful, but it's feeling the weight of like, oh boy, I gotta do all this in two days. And we did, yeah, it went great. I saw some pictures of like the, it was just like white background,

it just looked cool with all the. Yeah, it was fun, never really been in a studio like that before. Yeah. It was great, and El Capitaz, you know, took care of us. He went for it, yeah was fun. Never really been in a studio like that before. Yeah. It was great. And El Capitasi though, took care of us. He went for it, yeah. Yeah. Jake likes a good launch, so hot air balloon.

Yeah. Hot air balloon launch? That sounds awesome. With the, with the paddles. We do a countdown. Six of us? Yeah. Yeah.

We all take pictures with our wedding rings on? I gotta do a hot air balloon. Yeah. How much does that typically cost? He's a drone pilot. I'm so into this all of a sudden get the old bird up. Let's see I am curious. What's the most people ever on a hot air balloon? I've been in a basket on the ground before

It was spacious. What do you think the largest certified hot air balloon ever produced can hold 24 people 24 Europeans. 20? Yeah. 32 people. All right, we were close. Not that impressive. But still kind of fun.

Yeah. 32 people up in the air. I don't know if I want that. Yeah, you use a lot of fire to lift them up. Yeah. I feel like a fight could break loose or something. Good point, anything about the fights. Dude, that would be awful. Beth Roe probably has a story about yeah, I have an uncle who got in a fire and hire blue You got to make sure classic

Fight on the limo trip when we were going through Omaha it happened to be some like hot air balloon festival Perfect timing. It was great. Just sat there and watched. Wow. We got to sit in the basket and like blow the fire We didn't lift off. But yeah, it's still fun great, just sat there and watched. We got to sit in the basket and blow the fire. We didn't lift off, but it's still fun. It feels like there's a lot of hot air balloon festivals out there. I'd like to be involved. Yeah, every once in a while you're just driving

down Kansas City Street and it's like, oh, there's a bunch of hot air balloons in the air. I remember going to one, and I was probably like six, but I very vividly remember it. It's one of the rare childhood memories of like I just remember. I think it helps that like someone who was there took a lot of videos and we would just like me and Anna in our free time would just watch home videos just like over and over. And that's probably part of why it's like ingrained in my head.

I'm probably remembering the video more than the actual experience. And they're so bright and colorful. Oh, yeah. All right, we got a right one. So that's your pre-win of the week. Are we ready to do current wins of the week? I am. I've been having a real fun time with my new volleyball team, Brad. Oh good. Yeah we're playing with some new people who we still kind of knew them but we're just getting along great. This beach? This is indoor. Still indoor. Okay. Not beach season yet, huh?

Or do you just not do beach? Not quite yet, not quite yet. Do you ever know Caleb Weitzman, K-1 guy? I know that name. Okay. True love Weitzman. His sister played division one volleyball at Wyoming and she lives in Kid City.

Her and Rachel kind of become friends. They play a little Maj together. Anyway, they invited us to be on their team. Her now fiance invited us like, hey, I know we don't know each other that well. We only play like two volleyball games together. He's like, but we love you guys. We'd love to have you at our engagement party.

Oh, wow. So we did that like last Saturday. Oh, I went pickleball, pickleball, engagement party. It just feels fun whenever you get new friends. Yeah. It's fun. Yeah. So shout out my volleyball team.

Cool. Have a good time with you guys. My win of the week is that I, we finally like got our basement like cleaned up and we're starting to put stuff away from the garage in the basement. Which is along with the Easter egg hunt. You hide an egg, you put something away. Yeah. That was Easter egg hunt was at my aunt Cindy's house.

Oh crap. So please listen to me better next time. 45 people not at our house. That would be insane. Doesn't make any sense. But Easter egg hunt sounds fun. Oh, you're thinking of the scavenger hunt with Tate for better days, papeso.

Yeah, papeso. That's probably what it is. So yeah, it just was like, I've been really trying to figure out how to train my children well of how to clean because it kills me when our house is dirty. And I can't, like, Catherine can't be the one to be in charge of that. Like, is dirty. And I can't, like, Catherine can't be the one

to be in charge of that. Like, it's like, you can't, unless you're like, always cleaning up for our kids, like it's not gonna ever be clean without them doing it. And so like, for the longest time, I'd be like, how do you need to clean the basement? Cause that's where she plays all the time. And she's like, well, I don't know.

I don't have places to put it away. I don't know where it goes cause it's, she's never put it away. Throw it in your bed, like we all do. Once we remodel, yeah, just, I don't know. I don't have places to put it away. I don't know where it goes because it's, she's never put it away. Throw it in your bed like we all do. Once we remodel, yeah, just put it under the bed. Once we remodeled it down there and everything, there's not like the same storage and stuff. So she's like, I literally have never put it away

before since I've been down here. And so finally we like, we got spots for everything. It's clean. I watched some NBA playoffs down there last night. It was nice. Look at you. It was great. So it's my win. Time you gotta win?

Cool. Yeah, pretty simple, but just back, I've been like back to pickling. Like I've been like a few times this past couple of weeks, like played pickleball with friends and stuff. And it's just, it's so good to be back. Oh wait, did you use the illegal paddle we gave you? I haven't yet.

Oh, I really want to try. I think the times that I've gone it wasn't in my car But what makes it illegal? Just like what we put inside of it was like, let's just see You know it works. Um, yeah too much. Yeah, I can't wait to see how it feels. Yeah. Yeah back to Picklin fun That's fun. Do you have one of our new paddles? No Walking oh, thanks. What'd he say?

Christopher Walkin. We did, that was one photo you could put up on the screen now. So yeah, it's gonna be called the fever. And so, last second, I like Amazon, like some scrubs and a thermostat, or not a thermostat, thermometer, the old school one, and then a stethoscope, and took some funny pictures

with Scott where I'm like putting the therm, or gosh, the stethoscope on his forehead and he's like in my arms. And just to like, just some funny pictures we could put like, you know, God of fever or whatever. So Ty, you're just like, okay, so you're gonna get in scrubs now and I'm just gonna take your picture?

You're scrubbing and you're the sickly one? Got it. Yeah. That's awesome. Back to Picklin. Oh, it's fun, spring's here. scrubbing your you're the sickly one got it yeah that's awesome back to Picklin oh it's fun Springs here we're going to Branson we're Picklin yeah that's great it's a good time of year a lot to look forward to yeah man yeah shorts shorts t-shirts yep NFL draft tonight how much you care not much will

you watch you draft no Me neither. So boring. Man, people love it. And we're drafting what 31st, who cares? Is that half of it is like champagne problems of like the chiefs don't really, it's not that big of a deal for a long time. Like we're not getting a top 10 pick. Yeah, I think if we were a top three pick,

we'd be more into it a little bit, but no, doesn't matter. Or not doesn't matter, but who cares? We have our guys. We have enough fun during the season that we don't have to look forward to the off season as much, probably. Good point.

Yeah, some people, like I know Harrison's best friend, Matt, he would take off work or take off school back in the day to go watch the NFL Draft. I need something like that that I care so much about. Where people go, you know, Jake's kind of into this weird thing, I want that. I feel like you're pretty into chiefs like news and stuff. That's true.

Yeah, yeah, I guess it's a good point. I follow it closely. But maybe not like as much as some people. You're not taking off work. I just want to take off work. I got to go to the fan fest at Union Station. LARPing. Yeah, yeah.

It's Tuesday. I was kind of like that for March Madness back in the day. Yeah. I was like this, I'm just, this is my whole day for two days straight. This is my whole day. Yeah. It's fun memories. Yeah. March Madness. Oh, that's amazing. Um, all right. Let's do some comments of the week. Come on. So the week, this, my comment of the week is from Emily Linhart, 3225. But I don't really, it's my comment of the week, but I also don't really understand it.

So it's kind of a question of the week. She says the dead rat in the dryer review is one of my favorite bits. Was that an episode that you and? That was the one that TJ and I. Or yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's something. I don't know.

It feels weird to bring up now. It's kind of obscure, yeah, kind of thing, but interesting. But that's great. I'm glad you like it. Is there any other supportive comment? Yeah. Is there any other context? Is that it?

Oh yeah, there's two emojis. There's the laughing, crying emoji and the dead school emoji. Not the alive school emoji. It's tough to go off of. What kind of funny pirate thing? And she's Emily Linhart, 32, 25. Well. Both divisible by five. So's Emily Linhart, 32, 25. Well.

Both divisible by five. So she could be anywhere from 32, 25. Yeah. I'll take it. Yeah, yeah, it's a nice, it seemed, I mean, we didn't get that many comments, so it seems like, she said it's one of her favorite bits. Huh.

So the dead rat is one of her favorite bits, so maybe the rat was separated. Bits. I don't know. Bits. Mine comes from Anna G. Haney, one. You never know where the space, it could be an ag Haney. Yep.

It could be, or it could be, yeah, anagany. Anagany. How much would it take for Tymon to do a blind date? Now, there's a lot of ways we can take this. How much would it take, like, does she have someone in mind, or she just like wants to hear about it on the podcast? I would love for Tymon to go do a blind date.

Also, are we talking like traditional blind date, where you go to LASIK and get halfway done and then go on a date? And go on a date, and that's the old fashioned way. Right, yeah. Or is it? It's how my uncle met his husband. Whoops.

That's the, roll the dice. That's what happens. Yeah, he had a high pitched voice, he didn't know. Or are we talking like, you know, you just don't know the person and you just are able to see them during the date. Well, that feels wrong. Yeah.

That surely can't work. That's too easy. Yeah. You can do it multiple times. Not, that feels wrong. Yeah. That surely can't work. That's too easy. Yeah. You can do it multiple times. Not too many blind dates. Even when I got set up on like a blind date, I knew their first and last name. Yeah, these days.

Oh, I'm going nuts on Instagram. Yeah, I was gonna say, these days you're never gonna go blind, right? Would it be fun? Yeah, so fun. You gotta really trust like a guy in your life, but I would go blind, not now. Yeah, yeah.

But I think I got to a point. Dude, I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I would do it, yeah, you guys are getting excited about it. But I think Isaac and I got to a point wingmanning enough for each other, where if he was like, dude, I promise, go on the day with this girl, I'd be like, all right, I trust you, that'd be kind of fun.

That is really fun. If nothing else, yeah, there's probably levels to it, but at least don't learn about her. If nothing else, you know- You can see a couple photos. I have to recognize her when she walks in the door. Yeah, but no digging. But you also, it'd be nice if you said that to her as well,

but then it seems sketchy. And then look you up at all. Hey, please don't look me up before we meet. And then don't do it. Like, I'll just tell you, like I'll be in a blue shirt and you'll just know. I'll be kind of the one conveying the information. Don't look online.

Don't look online. Police record, I'll tell you what you need to know. You can look on Facebook, but not Instagram. How about that? Like, what are you trying to hide? You're a little too excited. Let's really get to know each other offline. But that is sweet. And like like how much more excited would you be if you're like you went to SBU? I went to

Drury, so you know that old man with kids No, my friend Sam knows him though. Yeah Okay, so time of the question is how uncomfortable are you talking about this guy stuff? Oh, I don't know. Oh, he's all about it. Mitch doesn't listen. Yeah. How much would it take for time? How much would it take? Yeah, I know. I don't know.

Am I being paid? How much would it take for time and to do a blind date? To do a blind date. To do one. Do it. I don't know. I mean, I think. You gotta look at her first.

Yeah. I like what you guys, I mean, if you have someone you. Send me a picture. And he's like, I'll tell you guys, I mean, if you have someone you send me a picture. He's like, I'll tell you, I do have every price yet. Yeah. I think you guys are right. Just like trusting someone enough. That's fun.

Yeah. Who would you trust the most or the least? Oh man. As far as your friends go. Yeah, I don't know. All right. Who would you trust more? Your mom or Jesse to set you up with a girl?

Wow. Oh, that's a good question. Mom's probably looking out for you more. I think it's my mom. Jesse's probably looking out for my mom. It's actually a pretty easy question. Oh really? Yeah.

Not that I would. Why? I don't know. What if your mom's like, she's so sweet. You see, she's homeschooled. That's true, yeah. She's really sweet. She can't quite paddleboard because of just, you know, you know, gravity works. Those shoes, she, she has to wear those kinds of shoes for her knees.

Yeah. So what if it's a situation like that? You're really assuming that, yeah, my mom would have like no standards for it. no, she looks on the inside. No, that's true. That's true. She has the eternal standard, like the, like the bigger perspective of like, right? Well, that's a great woman. That's why I was thinking my mom good for you for answering that. But, but then again, yeah, I don't know. I think I'd still say my mom. Okay. What about Jacob? Brad? You have to choose. I don't know. You have to choose. Oh, come on. It'd be the same thing. I don't know. You have to choose. Oh, come on. It'd be the same thing.

I'll be Jesse, you'll be the mom. You think? No, probably not. Maybe you, Brad. All right. To be married for longer. Yeah, I actually will take that. I don't think I'm that good at setting people up.

I'll set anyone up just if they're both single. Like, why don't you guys figure it out? I don't know what you're looking for. I didn't know what I was looking for when I met someone. You know, so it's like, sure. I'm not gonna pretend like why don't you guys yeah figure it out? I don't know what you're looking for I didn't know what I was looking for when I met someone you know so it's like sure I'm not gonna pretend like I know what you want. Yeah. Yeah, also. I don't know what your preferences are Yeah with how talkative how not talkative what how tall how short whatever oh yeah two people are tall I'll bag them to get married you guys yeah, you could have so many good NBA like I don't know it's just something to talk about You're welcome you can you could have so many good NBA players. I'm like, I don't know. It's just something to talk about. You're welcome. You see eye to eye.

But dude, I get it. I get it. Wow. All right. So that's the time in blind date. It's a blind date. I think let's just blanket statement. If anybody raises a thousand dollars, you will go on a blind date.

Yeah, put the pressure on. Yeah, be awesome. I don't know man All right, he's not committed to a thousand dollars, but show us you have a thousand dollars and we'll talk. Okay. Yeah
