Starting point is 00:00:00 Brad, I went to your domain this week. www.lscustomcreations.com. All right. Yeah, that you got from GoDaddy. Yes. GoBigDaddy.com. No, Home Depot. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:13 You still going to the depot? Oh yeah. Try to, yes, I am. I want you to, I want to see if I can guess where you went in the store by you directing me. Can we do that? Oh wow, what a adventure. Yeah, so I'll say, proud of myself,
Starting point is 00:00:28 for maybe the first time ever, it was all luck, but I like went to the right aisle. Like I didn't have to ask anyone. Feels good. Like I looked down, I was like, dude, look at this chest hair I have. Whoa, I'm a man now. That's what that feels like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:40 I went out to my Tesla and it was just like a Ford pickup. I was like, dude, how did they switch this? I just completely changed. Okay, so I didn't know it was gonna be quizzed on it though. I know, sorry. I derailed you real quick. So I went to the, to not even know which Home Depot I went to.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Hold on. You don't know which Home Depot you went to? Hold on, hold on. Okay, I got it. This is not, this may be tough. Super far down south, cause I was going to Elite. Baby, I've been to all of them. Okay, I got it. This is not, this may be tough. No. Super far down south, because I was going to elite tennis. Maybe I've been to all of them.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Okay, have you? Okay, so I don't know. 139th or something down there. It's down there. This is my Home Depot, I think. All right, time in there. I haven't been there much, but 135th. We talking Office 69?
Starting point is 00:01:19 Yeah, I think so. Yeah, down south, Matt Caffish. Classic Home Depot. All right, so this goes for anyone then. This is Tyman's Home Depot. Okay. I've been in it for three right, so this goes for anyone then. This is Tyman's Home Depot. Okay. I've been in it for three years, but. Okay, well maybe.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Wait, you wanna know what aisle I went to and what I was getting. And you're gonna try to guess. I wanna see if I can guess what. Okay, just first of all, do you know which door you went in? Okay. You go in the peasant door or the contractor door? I doubt I went in the contractor door.
Starting point is 00:01:42 You go in the one that has all the wood or all the, like on the lumber area or like the one that has all the wood or all the like on the lumber area or like the one that has the shopping carts. Shopping carts, shopping carts. Is that peasant door? Yeah. Yeah, it's peasant door. That's like the every man, every man door.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Okay, so I want to say that door is on the left center of the building. Correct. And to the left, I think I see some like gear. Okay. Can you remember? Okay. All right. But I know the aisle I eventually went to, I went just slightly right and then up in the first set of like rows. I didn't go to the second, you know, set of rows. Okay. So I can't remember this Home Depot exactly.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Fun game. It may be slightly right. It may be the paint section for like a paint brush or something like that. Or some Home Depot is right there. They got, they got like either storage areas or plumbing supplies over in that area. Okay. So yeah, you're, you're right there. I, I pretty sure I somewhere like I had to walk past the paint and my aisle was labeled paint,
Starting point is 00:02:47 but that wasn't what I was getting. You were getting some gloves. It was labeled. Starts the same though. Starts with a G. Is that what you mean by starts the same? Yeah, it starts the same, starts the same. You were getting some. It really starts the same.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Glue. Glue. Glue. Oh, wood glue. Glue aisle. Something. Epoxy resin. Oh, wood glue. Wood glue. Something. Epoxy resin. Oh, what are you epoxying?
Starting point is 00:03:09 I'm glad you asked. So I go to checkout and they're like, hey, our computers are down. You gotta go to the pro checkout. Ooh. I'm ready for this. Now the chest hair's really getting going. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I don't even know what pro checkout is. Also, just aside real quick, the computers are down. My computer's never been down. How are corporate computers going down? American Airlines, our computers are down. Seems like a big deal to have computers go down. Fly back from our honeymoon. All right, you have to, you know, our computers are down.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I overheard at Costco the other day, sorry, we're on a new system. I'm like, stop. What system is it? There's like two options. Windows, Mac. Yeah, Internet like, stop. What system is it? There's like two options. Windows Mac. Yeah. Internet Explorer Chrome. I know it's more complicated than that, but it's just wild that it can still happen. Okay. So computers are down. So I can't self check out. I got to go to the pro area and now an older gentleman is there and he's kind of, he's metaphorically
Starting point is 00:04:02 holding my hand as I check out with one item. And so he's like, you find everything okay? Yes, I did. And he's like, oh, some resin. What's this for? And I was like, oh, it's just a pickleball related thing. He goes, oh, no job then? Oh yeah, I understand.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I mean, kinda. Yeah, I'm doing all right. I'm like stuttering like because I'm like, I'm like, does he know that I, does he know Friday and he's does he know? Yeah, sure. What does he know? How does he say that, dude? Why are you saying this?
Starting point is 00:04:40 No job using me, dude. Okay. What does this mean? I can't believe you treat so what'd you say? I said kinda. Kinda. That's what exactly what, dude. Okay. What does this mean? I can't believe you treat. So what'd you say? I said kinda That's what exactly what I said. Kinda. I mean kinda it's kind of are you following this at all times? Do you like know why he asked? Yeah. No, I don't. Okay. I bet most people won't. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah So this is uh, I couldn't wait till Isaac about it and he was like, this is a new thing at Home Depot just the past. No, it's not. Isaac.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Okay. But, but it's, it's only like at pro desks and stuff. The pro desk. It's like if you're like a contractor, like somebody that goes there a lot, like, like if you have somebody else working for you, you can be like, hey, go, go, you know, go to the pro desk, use my phone number, and they can go to my account and use my credit card on the account or something like that. Or like, hey, I need to order 1,000 two by fours.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Go to the pro desk, don't just go and grab 1,000 two by fours off of the pallet kind of thing. Either way, basically, if you have a project name, it's like they entered it as the job name. Or did you use a business credit card? Probably. I could have. That happens a lot too with business credit.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Anyway, go ahead. Yeah, so that was it. He was just like, oh, you're only getting one little thing. So I guess, no, we don't need to write down the name of the job. But he said it so quickly and he was so old that I was like, well, he's confused. He's confusing me.
Starting point is 00:06:01 It was so funny. Yeah, just this. Yeah, pickleball. No job then, huh? Disappointment to your family, huh? Huh? Yeah. A little gay in college, huh? Experimented around, huh?
Starting point is 00:06:16 Uh oh, ooh I think this tight-beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet. Cause it's the Ghost Runners Podcast. Ghost Runners Podcast. Every Monday morning we're taking you out. Ghost Runners Podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Ghost Runners Podcast. Ghost Runners Podcast. Uh, yeah, Home Depot's a good place, man. It does, it is like a, it's fun to go to those new new, like new frontiers. You know what I mean? Like, uh, where'd I go? Timon's apartment. Yeah. I don't know where anything is. I went somewhere the other day and I was like, this is a whole, oh, I went to a tile store, like a floor floor and decor is what it was called, but it had just buckets of tiles, just so many different tiles.
Starting point is 00:07:06 It's like, I don't know anything about this stuff. I was like, why does that cost four times more than that thing that looks just like it? You know what I mean? Yeah, I just had a flashback. I'm pretty sure me and Catherine went to like a carpet store together like 10 years ago. I was like, whoa, it's on the ceiling,
Starting point is 00:07:23 it's on the walls, It smells crazy in here. It's a new world. Like the whole new world. Yeah. And we're picking out carpet for the unfinished K Life basement. Like, does it even matter? Does it even matter why we're here?
Starting point is 00:07:34 Find us the cheapest one. Yeah. I knew Frontier for me last night. This is kind of embarrassing. I don't know why I was like borderline, borderline intimidated to walk in to Mr. Euro's last night. You ever been into Mr. Euro's? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Something about, so this is a Greek restaurant in Kansas City. I drive by it all the time, but credit to them. They've decorated it like it's on the Branson strip. They've got like these Greek pillars on the outside and something about, I don't eat Greek food. I don't know much about it. They've got pillars, they've got Greek lettering on it,
Starting point is 00:08:07 it looks like the Kappa Sig House. Something about it, I was like, I don't know if I'm gonna do it right, or where is even the front door, because it looks like a frat house. This is your first time going. I picked something up for Rachel. I don't know where the parking lot is, I've never seen it.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah, the parking lot is kind of behind it. Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna do something wrong, I just know I am gonna walk through the contractor door. That is a fair thought for that place. Like, cause as casual as it is inside, it looks very fancy outside. I get inside like, oh my gosh, of course. It's a rundown crappy restaurant.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Yeah, it's like borderline, not fast food, but like you just order at the front and then they just bring it out to you. Yeah, it's like Pizza Hut vibes on the inside. But on the outside, it's intimidating. That's so funny. Greco-Roman, do you know what this is, time any of you ever driven by it?
Starting point is 00:08:51 Yeah, I don't think I've seen this before. Yeah, well. You would know. Yeah, it just looks so great. It's a good spot though, yeah. Yeah, whatever Rachel got smelled good. That's funny you were intimidated by that. I get intimidated by like auto zone like going in there
Starting point is 00:09:06 Like yeah, you need a new spark plug. You just get an auto zone. I'm like Yeah, but I'm gonna get judged at auto zone. I'd rather do they have it online. Yeah, right take my time I can double check. It's exactly what I need Like spark plug dude who even knows what that is? Yeah,cribe a spark plug and then I'll try. It's like a lighter. Honestly, that's kind of what I think too. It's pretty similar to a lighter. It feels like a detached phone charger, but just five times bigger.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Like just the end of the phone charger? There's no way that's what it is, but that's what I feel like it is. I feel like I saw one one time and they were tiny. But I think we have a lot of them in our car. How many do you have? 12? I don't want to brag, but I think it's 16. I feel like I saw one one time and they were tiny. Really? But I think we have a lot of them in our car. How many do you have? 12? I don't want to brag, but I think it's 16.
Starting point is 00:09:49 No, I have no idea. I had no idea. I would have thought one. Are they making sparks or stopping sparks or neither? They're plugging them. So like, yeah. They're like, yeah, they're not making sparks. All right, all right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:10:04 A car, fill in the blank, They're like, yeah, they're not making sparks. All right. All right. Here we go a car fill in the blank generally has one spark plug per Axle passenger square foot. It was how many people are riding in her horsepower. So yeah 100 yeah You said axle axle. I said square foot square foot. I think axles closest per cylinder Technically, that's the word I was thinking of but I couldn't think of it or like okay that makes sense So we knew it was like a multiple of four. We said twelve. It's a little high Yeah, but I think there's six cylinder cars. So I don't know if it's a multiple of four So the example it was for oh dang it. No, I think six is right
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah, who knows? is right. Yeah. Who knows? All right, spark plugs. Spark plugs. Who knows, dude. So what were you, you were using epoxy to like glue something back together. Yeah, it's so nitpicky pickleball.
Starting point is 00:10:57 A weighted end cap. Yeah. I wanna talk about pickleball. Okay, I made this up five minutes ago, this idea for a segment. Can't wait. It's called One Letter Off. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So I'm going to have two different words and it's going to be a word ladder. There's going to be five different total words on this. Is this separate from Pickleball or is this part of this? This is coming back to Pickleball. Okay. Okay. I thought so. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:22 And so one letter off. So first two words are mo- sorry, moers. Mowers and movers. I want to talk about two different things. All right, let's talk first of all about moers. Oh, I see what's going on here. See how moers and movers, one letter off. Yeah, but you'd like to still talk about both.
Starting point is 00:11:39 And then after we talk about movers, we're going to talk about something that's one away from that. Oh, I want to try and guess it. Spark pugs. Spark pugs. Spark pugs. Nope. All right. So.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Spark pugs. Spark pugs. Yes. It's like three letters off. I know guys. I know. Mowers and movers. So first off, Jake and I got let go.
Starting point is 00:11:58 We got broken up with. Yeah. We got dumped. I thought I was done with that. Yeah. We had a good thing going with these mowers that they would come and yeah, we had a fine thing. We talked about they would just come and mow both of our yards
Starting point is 00:12:12 at the same time. They wouldn't even get off the lawn mower. He would go from Brad's yard to my yard at about 25 miles an hour too. It was kind of fun. Yeah, I hit my yard with a running start. He gets some air. Every once in a while I like pulled, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:24 through Jake's street, see that his lawn is mowed. And I'm like, oh, great. That means the mowers come, you know, on his way. So yeah, but these mowers, all of a sudden we just get an email that says, Hey, FYI, effective immediately. We are not going to mow your lawn anymore. Yeah. Like are you guys going out of business that they said we're restructuring? They're doing more or landscaping or something. It's too expensive to mow lawns. I'm like, you guys kept charging me more. So it seems like we could figure that out again. Yeah, they were an interesting company.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So I think I got, you referred them to me. Yep. And right when they started in our house was when all the road construction was happening. So this guy would always email me like, hey man, you got a bunch of crap in your yard. It's hard to mow around. I'm like, talk to them, dude.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's not my crap. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. And then he'd come back next week. Hey, we dented a blade on some like piece of heavy metal in your yard. I'm like, I'm sorry that happened to you, but it's not my metal. Look for the blades, I guess.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I don't know. Like there was a massive, there's a semi on our street. Like it's not me. That's not mine either. Yeah. Do I ever talk on the podcast about the raspberry plant with them? When we were texting, it sounded kind of familiar,
Starting point is 00:13:32 but I don't know what was said on the podcast or not. No, not to me. Basically, dude, that was probably, that was wild. Like as far as a Midwest people pleaser, just nice guy goes, like I don't get confronted like this very often. And to be fair, just nice guy goes. Like I don't get confronted like this very often. And to be fair, I don't know. Like long story short,
Starting point is 00:13:50 Catherine had bought two raspberry plants, like raspberry bushes at like suburban lawn and garden, like a nicer place. And I'm sure she bought like the organic one or whatever. And I think they were like 20 bucks each. And so they like trimmed off, like they mowed one over one day, kind of like the metal blades. They're just not looking for anything. Yeah. There's a mowed
Starting point is 00:14:10 one over one day. And I told the guys like, Hey guys, like just FYI, like the next week they came like, please be careful with this. Don't trim, you know, don't weed eat. That's, that's a bush. Like we need that. It's not a weed. Um, and they did it again. And so whatever. And I'm like, and so I texted this mower and I was like, hey, FYI, you know, these things were, I think they were $20 a piece or $18, something like that, a piece. And I was paying like $40 every time, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:39 He mows the lawn. He mows the lawn. So I was like, I kind of evened the self out. FYI, this is what happened, blah, blah, blah. Um, and, uh, he didn't respond, whatever. And I think I had even like text him like the week that the first one happened, like, Hey, please don't do this. Hey, FYI happened again, you know, whatever. Um, and so then he bills me and I sent him money back minus the $36, I think is what it was. And he just calls me and just cusses me out, rips me. Dude, just like, absolutely like, he's like,
Starting point is 00:15:11 I can't believe you would do this. Like you don't just get to like decide what you pay me. Like all this stuff. And I, to my credit, I was like super calm, super like Christian about it. Like I was like very much just like, hey man, I understand you're frustrated. I know what it's like, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:26 You got a business. I get it. Yeah. I got you customers, right though. Maybe. But I was like, he's like, there's no way they were $18. I can get those at Home Depot for $4 each, whatever. All these different things. Like, I don't know, man. Like he's like, I need a receipt or I'm not, you know, whatever. I was like, I don't have a receipt. Like my wife doesn't keep the receipts. Bush receipt. Yeah. We're not planning on taking that back. So anyway, and then just recently this guy again, like texted me was like, who's doing your lawn care service? Uh, because your grass is growing too, too rapidly. It's hard to cut it. And I'm like, you're the one that's in charge of just cutting it. Don't worry about like, he's like basically like your lawn is too good.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I was like, my lawn is beautiful, man. Who's raising your kids? They're too respectful. Yeah, man. Yeah. What are you doing to that hair? It's growing too beautifully. It's like, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Just- Don't worry about it. Cut the grass. Just, yeah, cut it down. That's all you have to do. And then all of a sudden next week, you're out, gone. Yeah, you got nervous. You texted me and said, hey, did you get an email? I think I made a mountain. No, I got it too. I was like, Oh geez. Yeah. Is it just me?
Starting point is 00:16:30 Is Jake's lawn all right? But yeah, there he's an interesting guy, but oh well, did you find a replacement? Not yet. Have you found one yesterday? Zach Oliver. Oh, nice. It would say, I think I'm texting Oliver. There's something tells me that Zach's messing with me I got Oliver's number from Zach and oh, yeah, doesn't Oliver's brother have a business. Yes, but Oliver also mows. Okay Yeah, he mows. Oh he mows. All right. Yeah, I think Jesse's with him mowing right now Well, I might need to text Oliver. When's he coming for you? You know, he said hey, when's a good day? Oh good I'm good on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. Okay, I'm really, we're trying to do something
Starting point is 00:17:07 for Memorial Day again this year. So I need to cut it by then. So probably should text him now. He's got an Android though. So I don't know if I need to text him. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why I was like, Zach's messing with me. I don't know who I'm texting right now.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's like a bot. This guy's not real. Zach set up like a Google phone and just texted me from someone else. You know, he said, I was gonna come over and I think, Fun. I'll give you his number.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Okay. So that was mowers. That was mowers. Yeah, so I have, I did go to Facebook marketplace the other day and was like, just looked up a few mowers and just asked him like, Hey, would you, you know, mow my lawn?
Starting point is 00:17:40 And there was one guy, this is classic, like, don't do business this way. This guy like was like, I could do it on Friday evening. Does that work? And I didn't respond like within five minutes and he just responds again with like seven question marks. I'm done with you, bro. I'm out behave that way. And then he goes, Hey, I need to, I need to figure this out. So I have a plan like, you know, 30 minutes later and I just didn't respond again. He goes, I guess not. And I'm like, you would guess correctly if there was a, I don't think I would have had any, like
Starting point is 00:18:10 I didn't vet this guy at all. It was like, how hard is it to mow my lawn? Like, yeah, I don't need cream of the crop here. Like just do your thing, man. But that's all it took for me to be like, I don't want you here. No, thank you. And I said yes to some other guy. I think it was like, I'm going to like reach out to some other else. Like anyway, or Oliver. So anyway, No, I'm with you. That stuff is like so weirdly annoying. He's like, you don't get to treat me that way. I'm a future. I'm a potential customer. Yeah. Just give me kissing my feet. Just be. Yeah. Yeah. Take a sec. Let me, let me like take a breath here. Like, yeah, I can come Friday. Does that work? Does that work? Does that work?
Starting point is 00:18:45 Huh? What? What'd he say? Oh, guess not. It's like, okay. I asked Chad GPT to give me some, some openers to, to hook people in as we talk about Good Ranchers.

And Glide just recently got a job at Tesla. And for the move, like every mover does, that works at Tesla, he rents out the dealership Cybertruck.

I was a little nervous to drive with the, what they call the regenerative braking thing.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Dude, my first time driving it was once we had it loaded up. I was like, I know I drive these things all the time, but still should my first time in the cyber truck be with like the mattresses and the belongings? Trucks like that, like with stuff in it. I don't know, it's fine. Yeah, but Isaac went out first and took it pretty fast down this like little side road in Kansas City, Kansas.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And then they're like, all right, big daddy, your turn. And I was like, well, if Isaac's gonna punch it, I'm gonna punch it twice as hard. And it was nuts, dude. I mean, I haven't been, I haven't like felt that sensation like in my car in a roller coaster. I mean, that's like international space station type training. I feel like what we did.
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's like impossible to do it, especially if you're in the passenger seat, but it's impossible to drive like that and not just laugh. Like that's just like the, the, the first reaction you have is just like, Daniel Tosh has a bet. He's like money can't buy happiness, Daniel Tosh has a bet. He's like, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a jet ski. You can't frown on a jet ski.
Starting point is 00:23:29 It's impossible. Yeah. It's like, it was awesome. And I eventually like, I went so fast. And like the governor turned on or whatever. I was like, like, I'm like, I think I was going like 90 down this road. It was just a straight away and like a plasma pistol. It's like, it's got to cool down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It was so fun. It's so fast. So whatever. I didn't want one, but it was like, I would drive one of these once a year. Like that's I'm good with that. I had fun on Tuesday, but it feels like if this was mine, no problem. If that is your car out there, but I would feel I'm self-conscious already. Just having, just owning a Tesla. I'm like, don't, I'm not a car guy. I don't want to talk is your car out there, but I would feel, I'm self-conscious already, just owning a Tesla. I'm like, I'm not a car guy, I don't wanna talk about it. I didn't say it on this podcast for two years. I get embarrassed by those things. Like, oh, a Cybertruck would crush me.
Starting point is 00:24:14 You are absolutely asking to be talked to if you have a Cybertruck. And I don't want, stop. I don't wanna talk. I don't have a job. And you're getting stereotyped. I stereotype everyone that has a Cybertruck, I think, in some way. Like that guy likes tech or that guy is, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:30 that guy must be super rich. That guy was an only child. That guy's asking for something. He's recouping attention. So anyway. It's a cool little deal. I mean, you turn the wheel and all four tires turn, which is pretty noticeable when you're turning.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Crazy sharp turns. The one thing I didn't like no blinker, no, it has a blinker, but no physical stock to move. It's a button on the steering wheel. I don't take a while. What'd you think of the one pedal driving? Uh, I think I would get used to it really easily. Yeah. It takes like a day. There's like a, that's how a golf carts are. And so I've are like, they can be that way, like the electric ones. I never like, there was one time I was like, it's not stopping as fast as I want it to.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Like, I think, and so finally just put my foot on the brakes. I was like, I don't want to go out of the intersection like that. Yeah. But yeah, it wasn't as scary as it sounds like it was going to be. Yeah, you figured out pretty quickly. It was fun. But yeah, we had a good crew there.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Isaac was there. Peter was the one a couple days before who was like, hey, let's do 9 a.m. He showed up about 11.15. Yeah, after we had moved like one whole trip. We got an entire load. We were joking. Peter's like, I could do 7 a.m.
Starting point is 00:25:39 You guys do 7. I'll be there at noon. Dude, there was one point where all of us were in the living room, except for you and Peter were upstairs, like right above us. And it sounded like the roof caved in. Like, I was like, what did they drop up there?
Starting point is 00:25:53 And like, Glide has this 80 inch TV in his room, some huge TV. And it sounded like, holy crap, they just, like the TV dropped on him. The funniest part was truly each person at the house asked me about it individually. Everyone was like, are you okay? It would even like, they're like kids,
Starting point is 00:26:12 like Ember came up and was like, did you drop the TV? He's like, no, we didn't drop the TV. And then like 30 minutes later, then his other friend Brad's like, what happened to that room? And I was like, everyone's getting their turn. Like, I gotta know what that was. It like shook the ceiling.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I was like, what in the world? It was like one of those times, like, you know was like, everyone's getting their turn. Like, I gotta know what that was. It shook the ceiling. I was like, what in the world? It was like one of those times, like, you know, like, like if a kid falls down and then you just like wait for like five seconds to see if they're gonna cry. It was one of those times where it was like, it was so loud and we just waited, like, what are they gonna say? Wait for them to apologize.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Yeah, like no one said anything for like five seconds waiting, like, oh man, did somebody hurt? Is somebody like, are they gonna yell like, oh boy. It was like an old school metal bed frame that was like just jammed together. And so we had a very interesting technique, which worked, involved the feet and we got it working.
Starting point is 00:26:55 So that was funny. Were you, I think you were still there. It was like, we were done moving. We're in Glide's like nice, like beautiful, like Lennox neighborhood. He's in Glide's like nice, like beautiful, like Lenexa neighborhood. He's in like a colonial kind of style house. A lot of the houses, I mean, just like look really cool there.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Great neighborhood. This guy pulls up and yeah, you were there. Yeah, at first, so it was a chief's hat. Can't say chief's hat, but I thought it was a MAGA hat at first. I was like, dude, who is this neighbor? This is great. This is like Glide's first impression.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Anyway, this guy rolls up and I was like, oh, you know the new homeowner? God's like, yeah, we're like moving in this week. So excited. He's like, you know, crime's gone up in this neighborhood. Which is like, what? God's like, why would you say it? Like, you know, I'm moving in now.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah. Why say that? Even if it is true, which I don't believe them. Yeah. Neighborhood looked amazing. You know, crime's gone up. I know. I saw him again last night.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I told him, I was like, I was like, crime's probably gone up from like 0.5 crimes a year to 0.75 know, crimes gone up. I know. I saw him again last night. I told him, I was like, I was like, crime's probably gone up from like 0.5 crimes a year to 0.75 crimes a year, dude. Like there's no way you had anything to worry about. Yeah. And he was just like, yeah, it was funny. Yeah. Just a good, just, just a good boomer encounter. Classic welcome to the neighborhood. Yeah. You know, I was the second homeowner in this neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Jack Carpet, down payment was 400 bucks. Hope you guys can afford, yeah, you know, whatever. Just don't work hard enough. I had a great boomer, I know this isn't, one letter off, great boomer interaction last night, truly so wholesome. I got done playing pickleball and I was like, hey it's sunset, while I'm here,
Starting point is 00:28:23 let me shoot some Memorial Day ads for the paddles. And so I got a lot pickleball and I was like, hey, it's sunset while I'm here, let me shoot some like Memorial Day ads for like the paddles. And so I got a lot of them like laid out off to the side of the courts. Like I'm in the park of Meadowbrook and a guy rolls up, what do you think of those paddles? And so we're just talking and then eventually he learns I'm part of the team. He thinks it's so cool.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And then we'll question for you, how often would you say you disappoint boomers by not having a business card? Oh yeah. About twice a month for me. I don't know if I ever feel like I've disappointed them, but yeah, they do love to ask for a business card. Oh, they're disappointed.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Yeah, maybe so. I never feel, I never carry that guilt, but. No card. Oh yeah, like you have a business card or something? I was like, I don't, but I have a website. That's what I always tell people. Yeah. For a website, I have an Instagram. Like, that's what normal people do these days. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Oh, yeah. Even it's implied inside. They're like, this guy doesn't know a darn thing about how business is done. And you have a business card in your athletic shorts right now. Yeah. Just, you know, carrying around. And I bought my first house with a business card and a handshake. Right. No problem. Anyway, so this was so wholesome. So instead he created his own business card for me, kind of. He pulls out his phone, he creates a note. He's like, what's your name? You know, Jake Triplett.
Starting point is 00:29:35 He's like, thanks. No phone number, no email, just put down my name. He's just gonna look up Jake Triplett Pickleball. He'll find you probably. I think he wrote down Friday, but still there was no contact info. He's being to look up Jake Triplett Pickleball. He'll find you probably. I think he wrote down Friday. OK. There was no contact info. He's being respectful.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Yeah. Just my name. My name is just forever in Brian's phone. I love it. That's 100% what my dad did. My dad, like, you'll see like he has a note, like a little like notepad where he's like people, especially when he worked at the community college,
Starting point is 00:30:02 he'd like be like, Brad, I met a guy that to Lake the south the other day. They're going through you remember Noah I was like no, you know, he says like well, that's not it. No Johnson glasses I read on glasses. He said he said he played football with you on JV Right-handed but left-footed. Yeah his wife. Yeah He said his mom yeah only has three toes on her left foot,. Yeah. His wife. Yeah. He said his mom. Yeah. Only has three toes on her left foot. You know that one gluten intolerance. Yeah. All that kinda kinda. So yeah. He loved like bring it like, yeah, this, this girl, uh, he he'll write that. So like, I'll be like, I've been reading a really good book. He's like, Oh, somebody else was talking about
Starting point is 00:30:44 that book. You know, have you heard of, yeah. John Mark Comer. I was'll be like, I've been reading a really good book. He's like, oh, somebody else was talking about that book. You know, have you heard of John Mark Comer? I was like, yes, I have that. You know, he like looks at that. So I love he's I'll be like, I've watched this great show. He's like, what's it called? I got him. I know. So that is a fun habit to have.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I would not ever do it with pen and paper that way. I can actually like index it and search it. That would be fun fun just to write down any kind of suggestion you ever get. Any just like. Dude, yeah. It's like you're starting the internet again. That's how you should treat your whole life.
Starting point is 00:31:13 It's like anytime you hear anything, it's like, let me go ahead and write that down. Right. There was a, I had this app for a while. It was one of those paid a dollar for it. I was like, what a paid dollar for it. Oh man. I could have made this app myself probably.
Starting point is 00:31:24 But it was literally just a quick note. You just press, I mean it was kind of what a pit dog. I could have made this app myself probably. But it was literally like just a quick note. You just press like, I mean, it's kind of like a note basically, but it's just this own app for it. But you would just put whatever you wanted in there and you'd press done and it would just automatically email it to you. So like, let's say- What's the point of that?
Starting point is 00:31:39 I know, I don't know. I think it's just like, you could index or search them quicker or something. Somebody's like, hey, this is a really good book. It's like, all right, cool. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Good book. Done. The giver. The giver.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Email. Friend all. Yeah. Yeah. Email it to yourself. And then it's like, I don't know, you're reminded of it later or something. I didn't use it very much. Will Severance told me to buy it and I listened to him. Classic Will, Will's always trying to get me to do stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:04 It just seemed, me personally, I'm like, well now I got it in two places. I don't need it in two places. No, you don't have it in the app anymore. The app is, it's- Snapchat. Yeah, it's just like, it sends it off to your email. Wow.
Starting point is 00:32:16 But I'm like, I could probably create a shortcut on email that would just do the exact same thing to me. And I think we've talked about this, Gmail search, not as good as I want it to be. I message search, not that great. I message search. We should rank like the worst searches. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Gmail search is fine. But sometimes it gives you stuff. It does it like keyword based rather. It's like, here's what I think you want at the top rather than like, this was in an email yesterday. Put that one at the top. Come on. How many, how famous do we have to get before?
Starting point is 00:32:47 We can like lobby our fans to get Google inbox back There was this awesome. Oh, man. I've heard I've heard tales It was it was it was like the Garden of Eden for in boxes I I like can still kind of vaguely remember like discovering it it. I was reading a tech article and it was like, the co-founder, one of the co-founders of Facebook went on to start this and now he's at Google and he just created this beautifully designed UI masterpiece Google inbox.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I tell Brad about it and man, we were the only two using it but we looked. Oh yeah. And these days like people would love people eat that stuff because AI, I mean, it was AI before AI was like a buzzword, but it was like, it was like AI, like putting your stuff in the right categories for you, intelligent, knowing what you wanted to see first, like based off of your activity on Google. And now Gmail is just this just notepad looking hodgepodge piece of garbage. Google inbox, a dedicated app for managing emails has been discontinued, discontinued March 2019.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Man, that was a good time though, until that happened. So, oh, that's funny. That was, yeah, what, two months before we started the podcast, we needed something. We filled that void. Maybe. Yeah, we missed it. So, inbox featured inbox offered features like snoozing emails grouping similar emails together Reminders, I know you're like my email does that not like this not exactly It's like no Gmail can do the all that same stuff, dude. Trust me. It's like no no, no Yeah, you don't get it. Trust me. It's scanned incoming emails for information organize them into bundles It did bundle and saves before I was a thing
Starting point is 00:34:24 Sometimes it'd be like, you know, you book a flight to Pensacola and it'd be like, your flight to Pensacola and it'd have a picture of Pensacola on there. That was a nice touch. That was great. Made it bigger for you. Anyway, all right, mowers, movers.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Next one up, lovers. I don't know, I'm reaching for this one. But Catherine and the kids were gone to Texas. They came back and it was just, it was sweet, sweet reunion. I missed him so much. Um, and, uh, yeah, so it was just fun time to have him back. How long did you say they were gone? They were gone Thursday through Tuesday. So not crazy long, but long enough to be like, all right. I, uh, that's good. You know? Yeah. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Honestly, it was just like, I'm ready for you to be home. I
Starting point is 00:35:09 missed you so much. Whatever. Um, so do you have all the kids now? No, we, we inherit, we have the same amount of kids, but different set, uh, Sloan Sloan dog millionaires in town cause it's slow and Bo was back, uh, in Texas. Uh, he's Texas. He's still there for like, we're picking him up on Saturday. So one very, very last bullet point will be a Bo related. So I don't want to give too much away, but yeah, he's getting some special time with honey and pops down there. Is he going to miss baseball? He's going to be sad to miss.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, he's done. Yeah. He missed his last two games because of Texas. It's all right. We'll get him back. So all right, we'll get him back. So, all right, so lovers, that was kind of like a, you know, segue into the next one, which is levers. All right?
Starting point is 00:35:52 And I'm going, and I don't even know if this, this is also a stretch, but levers in the sense of like, the way, aren't our bodies levers in a way? Fulcrum? Only, we had any levers in there? I know that's a word. I know fulcrum is a word. I will say this.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I went and hung out with Isaac yesterday. He had to drop his truck off by the mechanic. And so I picked him up. We went to lifetime, played pickleball, which I'll get to the next one. So don't ask. How's it going to be one letter? Oh, come on, Jake. Oh, dog.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Jake. Oh, Jake. Oh, dog. Oh, Jake. Oh, Jake. Uh, levers. Uh, we played pickleball for a while. And then, uh, he whooped me at pickleball, of course. And so what, how do you do that? I don't know about it, man. First game. Close. Nine. Play singles. No, of course not. Well, how do you think we played? Yes, we played singles, but skinny singles, but he had the whole court you had. Correct. Okay. It was a pretty close game the first time. And then I kind of lost it. So anyway, so then I was like, all right, I got to whoop you at something. So then we played basketball, horse, of course, not one on one. And I beat him a few times. And then these two guys came up to like pretty athletic looking black dudes. I, Hey, you guys want to go two on two? Oh boy. One of the guys was a big black dude though. So like big as in like he played football at KU. So I was like, all right, well we can obviously we know who we're matching up against here. Isaac, you take this guy. I think that guy, uh, they beat us the first game, uh, two on two. And then Isaac pulled out a
Starting point is 00:37:18 lever, AKA his legs. This is, this is where, out of nowhere.m. on a Wednesday morning, we're playing, you know, lifetime two on two. Isaac just throws down a dunk on this dude. On the dude? Yes. Two on like, like it was like, we're kind of just casually like, you know, you know, pass the ball, check the ball, pass the ball, you know, shoot a three, whatever. And then all of a sudden, Isaac just drives to the hoop and just throws one down on this
Starting point is 00:37:41 dude. And the guy goes, oh, so it's like that, huh? Okay. Okay. Oh crap. We ended up, we ended up it's like that, huh? OK. I go crap. OK. Oh, crap. We end up boat racing them two games in a row. It was awesome. The term boat racing.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So I texted Isaac. I was like, hey, like just today. I was like, just randomly thinking about you throwing out a dunk on a guy at 10 AM on a Wednesday morning. Like, I just casually play basketball. And all of a sudden, Isaac's like, hey, I'm going to dunk real quick. Kicking into gear real quick.
Starting point is 00:38:04 It's funny. So we played in a pickleball tournament quick. Kicking into gear real quick. It's funny. So we played in a pickleball tournament Saturday, but on like Thursday or Friday, he texted me. He was like, hey man, I just messed up my hand really badly. Like, I don't know if I can play Saturday. I was like, dang, keep me posted. What happened? He's like, didn't want you to ask that.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I was just in the gym by myself and tried to dunk. And it's like jammed my fingers on the rim somehow. It's like it really, really hurts. That does hurt. Yeah. If you're throwing down. I can imagine I've never had that problem, but it sounds like it would hurt. You never had a 10 foot goal problem.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Not 10 foot. Maybe if the goal is next to the trampoline. Yeah. Eight and a half. She had my head on it. So then levers goes. You guys did that. Yeah. It was really fun. Levers goes to fevers.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Fevers. Yes. And so I got to play with the fever yesterday. Oh, that's nice. And it was sweet. Oh, cool. It was noticeably better. Yeah, it's nice.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Not that I was like ever thinking like, oh, other Friday pedals aren't good, but this one, like sometimes I barely touched it and it was like back line. It's nice. Yeah, it was great. It's great. Also, I had a fever for two days while Catherine was gone.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I wrote that down on my notes to talk about. Yeah. Well, we should get into that. Just a pummer. I think it's so funny. But yeah, fever, it's been a crazy week. I mean, we can talk about this later too, but like yesterday when recording this
Starting point is 00:39:19 was like the Nate Bargazzi announcement. And then, yeah, Thursday, which I always kind of fun. Last week getting to record the podcast while the fever is coming out. Because Thursday ended up being crazier than Friday. Just so interesting. Like the pre-launch. Oh, interesting. Was twice as big, maybe Isaac already told you that,
Starting point is 00:39:36 as like Friday was. No, people were just ready to go. Like the people that were into it were into it. Yeah, Thursday, which only like 5,000 people had access to it, but that was bigger than black Friday last year. It was like our biggest sales day as a company, like kind of by a legitimate margin. Wow. So you're saying like, yeah, even though only so many people had the access to it. Yeah, it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:58 So Scott was right. Yeah. He still needed, I think for Scott's guests to be correct, we needed to do about 400,000 just on Sunday alone. That was like the inside joke. Like, hey, if we really kick it up a notch, Scott's going to be right on the money. But no, yeah, Thursday, it just, I guess it kind of makes sense, but it was crazy too, that like 5,400 people on a Texas on Thursday can do more than the whole world, than 7 billion
Starting point is 00:40:24 on Friday, but they were just really engaged customer base. It's a deep, not wide kind of thing. Yeah. Like it's just like, you don't have to have, millions of people seeing your stuff in order to make it successful. So it's been really fun. I typed up, I started to type out this Facebook post
Starting point is 00:40:41 on Sunday, it was going to be about the fever launch and just like update whatever my Facebook friends. And then one thing led to another, I was like, well, they don't really know about Friday. I don't really out this Facebook post on Sunday, it was gonna be about the fever launch and just like update whatever my Facebook friends and then one thing led to another. I was like, well, they don't really know about Friday. I don't really post on Facebooks. And I was like, actually, they don't really know about how Friday came. And then next thing you know,
Starting point is 00:40:52 I've written the whole chapter of a book and just so, so many words. I don't know what got into me, but fun little Facebook posts. And since then, I feel like people are coming out of the woodwork. Like people trying to get in while the getting's good. You know, I feel like, you know, like people are like,
Starting point is 00:41:11 dude, I'd work for Friday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I take equity. Not that exactly, but people like, a very like prominent YouTuber like reached out. I was like, I'll invest. I was like, great, great, no thank you. Other people like wanna work with us. No thank you, no thank you. No thank you, no thank you. Yeah, that, no, thank you. Yeah. Um, other people like want to work with
Starting point is 00:41:25 us. No, thank you. No, thank you. No, thank you. No, thank you. No, thank you. Yeah. That's a very subtle hint. Did you get it? Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. No. Um, yeah. Fever launch is a bit great. I'm glad you'd like the paddle. Yes. Right now. A lot of good reviews still. So bye. Go back. All right, and then very last one one letter off is The other ones were like definitely not a stretch. This one's a stretch. Okay Beaver be veer but in reality our beavers I suppose I'm gonna send you guys a text of this. So Catherine's older brother Brooks who's been the chef
Starting point is 00:42:02 Just recently inherited a business where he does pest control. Okay. He bought this business from this guy. Can I click on these pictures yet? Just wait for a second. Okay. You can in a second. Pest control for commercial golf courses
Starting point is 00:42:16 and stuff like that that have. I think you talked about this because he just went out while you were in Texas. It has the beavers. Yes. Yes. And so Brooks was like, hey, what about if Bo just does a ride along for a day? And so look at these pictures. It's like Bo like going, going with Uncle Brooks.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Already just loved the before picture. I haven't gotten anything, but like, here's where we are. Here's us before. I was like, I was like, take all extend everything like I didn't notice Brooks perfectly in the background with the cowboy He's got his beaver catching hat on. This is a great photo both like funny like just soft smile the rubber boots Yeah, his shorts are on a little crooked This is a great first picture. I haven't clicked on the other ones. Oh Yeah, he's posing there with oh, yeah, this is great. He's got his little work gloves on I mean, I mean, it's just unbelievable. He's got himself a new smile too. I feel like he's got a little soft smile or whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:10 He's got that, got that, uh, mom cut my hair haircut going on. Yeah, he does. Cause it looks a little Amish. Dude. Bo is like the size of these beavers basically. Yeah. Is that amazing dude? Like that beaver tail is kind of nuts, huh?
Starting point is 00:43:24 Yeah. That's what they see. Why bumpies were, you know,? Dude, that beaver tail is kind of nuts, huh? Yeah. That's what they slapped on the- You see why puppies were, you know, throwing down on some beaver tail. That's kind of what they slapped down the mud with, right? Dude, beavers, yeah. We got all these books about beavers now.
Starting point is 00:43:33 They're amphibious, you know? And so, yeah, they do some crazy things, man. That last picture, is that them like releasing it back? I think so. Catch and release, baby. Teach them the way. Yeah, humanely, yeah. Get them, like drive them out far away
Starting point is 00:43:44 and release them out to the waters, I suppose. Get them, like drive them out far away and release them out to the, to the waters, I suppose. But yeah, if it was Sam Hintiger, he would have drove out and ran over them. Still one of the best stories ever. So anyway, Bowie is just having the time of his life down there. Like as they were leaving, apparently, you know, he's like, he like said a prayer, like both said a prayer the night before for everybody. And he always, Bo, no, both prayer, you know, yeah. Rosie's always, he, he, oh, he, he, oh, Bo's prayer is always individual for every single person at the table. He just goes around. He's like, I pray, you know, please watch over Jake and time and Brad and mom and dad. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:20 and he's like, please help them all as they're traveling home tomorrow, except for me, because I'm not traveling home. And as they're leaving, the night before, Catherine's packing all their bags. And Beau's like, you don't have to pack my bags, I get to stay. I am not traveling. I was in the prayer. Yeah, it was really sweet. So he's had the time of his life, I think.
Starting point is 00:44:38 That's great. So is he just hanging with Brooks most days or? No, I think, yeah, Catherine's parents. Because Brooks has got his own place now. So anyway, yeah, he's just chilling, man. I love that Brooks took him for a ride along. Oh, I know. You never think animal control ride along.
Starting point is 00:44:56 You know he's going to remember that for the rest of his life though. Like remember when we caught those beavers? I love that first picture. Oh, it's amazing. It's like first day of school. First day of Beaver School. Your cool uncle picking you up.

Starting point is 00:48:05 But I think a young lad, I don't know. Yeah, I don't have a distinct memory, but I think I've gotten it before. Okay. Yeah. You? I'm good, Brad. I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Yeah, had a little scare. Been learned about tetanus this week. Yeah, let me ask you this. So, Tyman, do you know why do you get a tetanus? I think what I recall is like one time my mom stepped on a nail, like maybe like potentially rusty nail. Yeah. Like when, like when I got a tetanus shot or something, you take the shot so that you don't get what I'm guessing. Like I really don't know. I'm guessing like some kind of infection or some kind of rust made sickness.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Rust, yeah, rust belt. Yep. That's the rust belt. That's why they call it that. Yeah. Yeah, Kansas, that's dust bowl, right? No, rust belt. Yeah, so I stepped on a nail and it was rusty, I think.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I should have examined the nail more, but I'm like, there's no way it wasn't rusty. Before you stepped on it, you're like, oh, I should have like it's there's no way it wasn't rusty. Before you stepped on it you're like oh I should have like checked before. Dang it I thought it was a rusty one. Clean when I stepped on it. I was doing the party trick and yeah dang it uh and it I stepped on it through my shoe it bled out like on my foot and Catherine's like well as long as it's bleeding you're good. What does that rule? I I don't buy that. What is that as long as it's bleeding you're good? What? She's like that means it long as it's bleeding, you're good. What? She's like, that means it's getting it out.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And I was like, uh. This is how people used to think in the 18th century. This is how George Washington died. Catherine does that a lot. Oh, you have the flu? Get the blood out. That's what they did. That's how we die.
Starting point is 00:49:37 So, okay, here's what I've learned about tetanus. So yeah, it's an infection based off like, yeah, like dirt, like nasty ground or whatever. Like that then gets into your body and then like runs through you and whatever. Um, but like the, the scare is like how deep the nail goes into your foot or wherever. Like, um, like once it gets past certain, you know, what you have, you have all the layers of, you have your skin and then eventually you get to your tendon or whatever. I don't know. Okay. I'm, but there's muscle or whatever it is. Epidermis and then the other layers.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Epidermis is skin? Epidermis is the outer. Or it's one of them. Epiderm. I guarantee you, Epidermis is one of them. I've heard that word. Yeah. I'm glad I stopped you to say that.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Well, I know that, yeah. So let's say it gets like the third level down there. That's when it's like, we got a problem here. Yeah. And so, and so I didn't think it got that deep. So I wasn't truly that worried, but Catherine's like, well, it's bleeding. That means it's not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:50:35 I was like, so you're telling me that if it goes four layers deep, we're not bleeding at all. When it comes out, I was like, there's no way. It's gonna bleed even more. Cause the first layer, blood. Second layer, someone else, you know, it's was like, there's no way it's going to bleed even more. Because the first layer blood second layer, someone else, you know, it's just like, they're all going to happen. I think anyway, I, I didn't. Maybe the rest, like the rest will plug the blood.
Starting point is 00:50:55 It immediately like coagulates and, uh, ox oxides ox. Yeah. What's it called? Oxidizes. That sounded good. Yeah. Close to what you're trying to say. Yeah. We got it. Yeah. What's it called when water gets oxidizes? That sounded good. Yeah. Close to what you're trying to say. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:07 We got it. Yeah. If it was multiple choice. We got it. I don't know about. So yeah. I looked it up. Chad GBT says, unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:51:16 bleeding doesn't mean you're in the clear. But it sounds like, oh no, I guess Chad GBT. So it's, I was gonna say, it sounds like people have asked that question. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't buy that. I it's, I was gonna say, it sounds like people have asked that question. But maybe. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't buy that. I was like, that doesn't make sense to me.
Starting point is 00:51:29 But then I asked one of my doctor friends and he said, which is crazy. He's like. I think this is the craziest thing. He's like, technically, if you were my patient, I would say you should get a shot. He's like, but those things are gonna last. Like if you've ever had a tennis shot in your life, it's still in your body.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Like, like the- You're good. That's a lifetime supply. Yeah. And I don't know if it's like, if you're 80 years old, if it's still a lifetime supply, but like- Well, if you bleed. He's like, in your thirties, like you're fine.
Starting point is 00:51:56 And like they've even like, I think I probably got one before I went. I know I've had one kind of recently, like either in high school or college or whatever, when I went on a mission trip. and so I'm like, it's not that long ago, but yeah, it's maybe 15 years ago. Yeah. Maybe 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:52:10 He's like, you're fine. Like that stuff stays in people. So then I asked like all, like I texted him with like a group chat of all my friends. And so all my other friends are like, what in the heck are in these shots? What do they put in there? It's like a 90 year vaccine. Yeah. So, uh, anyway, but I had a fever.
Starting point is 00:52:28 And so, and like, I had all these other like symptoms of tetanus. And so I'm like, I'm going to go get a tennis shot. I do appreciate the solidarity as a friend to get a fever on like fever release weekend. Thank you. No one else in the company did. You're the only one.
Starting point is 00:52:39 That's what I'm saying. I felt it more than everybody else. I was worried for you guys. And I learned the word febrile, febrile. That just means you have a fever, I guess. Epidermis, febrile. Febrile. Yeah. Super dermis. So I went to go get the shot even after Catherine was like, don't do it. My friend's like, don't do it. I was like, well, I'm still having these symptoms. I'm getting it. And the guy's like, well, you're still febrile. So you can't get it.
Starting point is 00:53:00 It's like, no, I'm not. I was like, oh, no, I just meant like, I was fine. I was hurting. I was, I was feverish yesterday. I'm like freezing and was like, oh no, I just meant like I was fine. I was hurting. I was feverish yesterday. I'm like freezing and like sweating at the same time. I didn't have a fever. I had Walgreens. Ew, I didn't end up getting it. Feel just fine now. Well, what if I told you,
Starting point is 00:53:15 you need to go to urgent care or call your doctor if the nail, this is great. The nail was especially dirty or old. Yeah. Did it look, I'm sure it looked dirty and old, but it did, did it kind of cross the line? Were you like, whoa, when you saw it? Like, woo.
Starting point is 00:53:30 That's pretty dirty. Whoa, that's like NC-17. I have regrets every day about how I did not examine that nail very well. Didn't inspect it. We can assume maybe it was especially dirty though. There's other bullet points. Go to an urgent care or call your doctor
Starting point is 00:53:45 if the wound is deep or still bleeding. Yeah, not bad. Not bleeding? No. It was a dime size thing of blood on my sock. I felt like curtschilling. Speaking of dime size blood, Rachel and I turned on Dexter last night.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Okay. What's the big turned on Dexter last night. Okay. What's the big deal with Dexter? Really? Yeah. This is like, you know, a show that ran for like eight years. People love it. Yeah. That's how I feel about a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I'm like, really? This? This is your, this is your pinnacle of entertainment? Yeah. What other examples? Uh, let's see. I mean, Severance, I mean, Severance was good, but I don't know, like
Starting point is 00:54:32 the whole Hinduism. What a racket. Severance, even like it was like this is good, but not unbelievable. Like some people acted like it was like, like Will Severance once again, Will Severance maybe just has bad taste. What would you put in your like pinnacle recently of like media you've consumed that I love? Yeah. That you're like, this is top notch. Top notch. Um, let me, okay. This is out of nowhere. I really like, well, first of all, The Last Dance. How recent is it?
Starting point is 00:55:05 Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. I've watched The Last Dance multiple times, so good. Now all I can think of is documentaries. But another documentary I was really enthralled by was the Woodstock 99 documentary. Oh yeah, that was interesting. I watched that multiple times, I think.
Starting point is 00:55:21 It's hard to kind of recall everything you've watched in the streaming era in the last five years. I don't know if this is, yeah, this is another thing that was just front of mind because I just watched it this past weekend, but the town, you ever seen that movie? I've heard people talk about it. It's pretty cool. It's pretty good and pretty intense.
Starting point is 00:55:35 You want to talk to my dad? Yeah. Me? Pierce? Pierce something? Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. Steve Triplett, Brad Ellis. Hey, Mr. Ellis, what's going on? What's going on, brother? How are you?
Starting point is 00:55:46 I'm doing great, buddy. How are you doing? I'm doing great. We're recording the podcast right now, so don't say anything. I'm sorry. I love getting surprised by your voice though. Yeah. Have you ever had a tetanus before or stepped on a rusty nail?
Starting point is 00:55:54 Have I had catnip? Catnip. You know what you said? No, tetanus. Like a, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,
Starting point is 00:56:02 like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, Have you ever had tetanus before or stepped on a rusty nail? Have I had catnip? Catnip. You know what you said? No, tetanus. Like, like, like, or hey, either one answer either question. It's like tetanus.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Like you step on a rusty nail or something. Oh, it's the same as catnip. It's hard to get rid of. I've never had tetanus. I don't think. Okay. Why? Do you have it? I don't think so. I've never had tetanus, I don't think. OK. Why, do you have it? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:56:26 I had a scare. I stepped on a rusty nail and bled out a little bit. But I don't know. I think I'm all right. I'll let you know in a few months if I don't have a leg anymore or something. But yeah, I always heard of tetanus, but I don't even know what tetanus is.
Starting point is 00:56:42 I know I've had my tetanus shot. Yeah. So you're good. Yeah, you're fine. What are you doing right now? I was just, I'm driving to Pomp and Terrell Lake for a customer and anyway I thought I was going to call Jake because I told my mom a few days. She said something about the kids and I said just call the kids. They'll be. And so anyway I talked to her this morning she was crying oh mom what's wrong should I'm just happy oh I talked to Kate there's just so always so positive so I'm just gonna call Jake telling him thank you oh that's awesome oh yeah great talk with grandma yeah and then I told Jake I I see my text last night here's how shallow of a person I am.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I watch the video of Nate Bargansi just saying my son, just saying his name. Just saying his name. I told Trish this morning, I go, I've got a problem. All he did is save my son's name and showed a picture. And I go, I've watched it a lot. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:47 You're like, you've arrived now. Yeah, I just thought that is so cool. So yeah, I don't know what that means for Jake. I thought it was cool. That is amazing. I didn't realize he said his name. That's fun. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Wow. Well, I'm sorry to call you during the podcast. I would just, uh, Jake, you can call me when, uh, yeah, I'll call you this afternoon. Yeah. Just whenever you're traveling. So, okay. Uh, no big deal. So, uh, you guys have a great day and, uh, thank you for the podcast. And I'll talk to you guys. Good to hear from you. All right, I'll talk to you later.
Starting point is 00:58:25 See you Brad. All right see you, bye. Yep. Oh daddy-mo, that's fun. Wait, so Nate Barghetti said your name? I still haven't listened to the episode. I don't know if what got posted to Instagram was actually on the episode, but either way, yeah,
Starting point is 00:58:38 like he was talking about it yesterday. It's kind of crazy. Cool. Yeah. That is crazy. I didn't really anticipate yesterday being like, like I went to bed Tuesday night, not thinking anything of it.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Like I've known we've been signing with Nate for forever. And then woke up all these texts, dude, I'm having to find out via the podcast. I don't get a text message. People are like excited and mad. You know, they're all excited. But it's just like, well, this is really cool. Can we invest?
Starting point is 00:59:02 Maybe I need to to appreciate this more. Yeah. Because I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever even meet Nate. You know, we just signed onto his network. I don't even. You're going to. He's going to open for you someday, dude.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Now that I've stopped and now that he's doing multiple arenas in one city. Right. Yeah, it'll flip. Don't worry. It'll get there. It'll flip. Sorry. What were you talking about, though? I in one city. Yeah, it'll flip. Don't worry, it'll get there. Sorry, what were you talking about though? I don't remember. Oh, tetanus stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tetanus. Yeah, I don't know. That was it. My bad. What were we talking about? I think we were talking about something for you. Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Epidermis. Anyway, so yeah, fever was good though. Everything. Yeah, it was really fun. That's probably been the thing that's consuming your life right now. Yeah, because it's starting to hit mailboxes. We're starting to get reviews in.
Starting point is 00:59:50 It's just like, it's fun. It's just buzzing right now. Oh yeah. I got a text last night from a guy. They went to BDA and Lenexa. No leagues! Yeah. That place.
Starting point is 01:00:00 And a buddy texted me. He said, dude, this is crazy. Six different people here have a fever. I was like, well, that's not just like, they have a Friday. Like they have a fever. How? They've already ordered them? They ordered them on like Thursday or Friday
Starting point is 01:00:11 and they've already hit. They've already got them. Yeah. That's cool. Shipping's crazy. So yeah, there was a woman and I was at Meadowbrook last night and there was a woman there with a fever. The guy I played with, I don't know that well. He was like, oh yeah, I bought one Thursday.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Nice. Dude, awesome. Yeah. So it's cool. Nice. Dude, awesome. Yeah. So, it's cool. It's people responding well to it. So, take that tariffs. Yeah, nice try tariffs. That's a problem. So, yeah, good stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:36 And yeah, it was fun. My grandma called me at like, probably like 9.30 a couple nights ago. I was like, oh gosh, I'm nervous to answer. Sure, yeah. Something happened, she can't get ahold of my dad, but just call him to talk. It was great. And so we just talked for probably 30 minutes.
Starting point is 01:00:52 It was really fun. My dad has convinced her to go on a cruise later this summer. Heck yeah. And so it's great. I mean, she didn't have a passport, she doesn't have a bathing suit, but she's getting it all taken care of.
Starting point is 01:01:05 I think she finally got the passport figured out and then she kind of got on a roll. She's like, I'm gonna go and get a real ID too. My dad's like, oh, you don't actually need one of those. She's like, well, I might fly somewhere. He's like, whoa, look at you go. 83 year old, she's like, I don't know, I might go somewhere.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Yeah, once you pull the bandaid off, it's like, let's just keep going. Yeah, she's like, got all the stuff taken care of. I was like, can you go take Rachel to get her last name changed now that you're on a roll with this, now you pull the bandaid off, it's like let's just keep going. Yeah, she's like got all the stuff taken care of. I was like, can you go take Rachel to get her last name changed now that you're like on a roll with this, now you're in rhythm, like can you go take my wife? So yeah, I'd pop for her.
Starting point is 01:01:32 She's like, I think she's a little anxious. She hasn't traveled anywhere in 30 years and now she's gonna go on this cruise. I think it's hard for her to even wrap her head around what a cruise is, which is fair. So is it gonna be, are you guys gonna go? Or is it just your parents and her? I think.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Or just a singles cruise, you know? Just grandma going by herself and my dad. No, I forget when it is. I wanna say it's actually not this summer and it was like right before Thanksgiving, which is like kind of a crazy like Black Friday time. So maybe, maybe not. I think they're gonna invite the Coops on it, like Rachel's parents, see like Black Friday time. So maybe, maybe not. I think they're gonna invite the Coops on it,
Starting point is 01:02:07 like Rachel's parents, see if they can go. So it'd be fun, but yeah. Good to talk to grandma. That's great. Yeah, that's sweet. That's, yeah. Just so happy to talk to you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Ty, what's new in your world? Talk to my grandma too. Come on. I was in Illinois this weekend for my cousin's wedding. Fun to be with the whole family. That was great. How was the wedding? weekend for my cousin's wedding fun to be with the whole family. That was great How was the wedding? It was it was nice. You're lovely. No, have you ever I don't think at a wedding No, I haven't I haven't I feel like I haven't been to enough. I feel like once
Starting point is 01:02:35 Once it's like my siblings or something like that. Then I'll probably cry I think you said you got a lot more emotional once you had a daughter at where that helped Yeah, I also cried at both my sister's weddings though. So, but yeah, did you ever cry at a wedding before your own? No, I don't think so. Ah, there's sometimes I feel like, you know, a good father, the bride speech will choke you up a little bit. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:58 But I don't think just bride walking down the aisle alone. Really? No, because I don't look at other women. Looking up at the sky. I love, I love when people think they're so original, like everyone's looking at the bride, everyone's looking at the bride. I don't, I don't do that. I look at the groom. People love saying that. Yeah, everyone does dog people. I don't, I don't even, I don't, I don't even look at that girl, man. I'm looking at that guy. Yeah. It's like mean-spirited all of a sudden. Yeah. It's like I slap her on the butt as she, man. I'm looking at that guy the whole time. Yeah, it's like mean spirited all of a sudden. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:25 It's like everyone's going back and forth. I slap her on the butt as she goes by. Everyone's going back and forth. Like, you gotta see the groom's reaction. 100% dude. Yeah, but everyone thinks like, I cracked the code for the most enjoyable wedding experience. I'll just look at the groom.
Starting point is 01:03:40 You guys all, yeah. It's like the people that say like, they look at the linemen, they don't look at the ball, you know, at the quarterback. You told where the runs go and I just look at the guard. You look at the pulling guard and you just know. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Everyone else is like, oh, wide receivers, running backs. No, not me, left tackle. You know my favorite thing to watch about basketball? Steph Curry when he doesn't have the ball. Right. The off ball movement. They don't make them like they used to. That's what I love watching, that and the groom. That's what I watch. That's what I watch watching, that and the groom. That's what I watch.
Starting point is 01:04:05 That's what I watch. I cry looking at both. Let them watch. Anyway, so you didn't cry. Nope, didn't cry. Great wedding though. It was fun. And also just like, I love going to Gridley, Illinois,
Starting point is 01:04:16 because there's an excuse, there's pickleball courts where you can just turn the lights on all night. Oh yeah, that's crazy. And just play as late as you want. All night. It was great. Small town things like that are so great. Yeah. And it's not like they're made necessarily for that. It's just
Starting point is 01:04:29 pretty easy to find the breaker up in the nearby electrical box to flip them back on and no one complained. So that's great. Yeah. It was a lot of fun in high school. I don't even know why this is a prank, but we did it as a prank. We're like, go turn the baseball lights on at midnight. Ooh, dude. And then what? I don't know. I can't remember. I think like run off. Yeah. And then like in the morning, they probably shut them off. I think they were like, who cares? I don't even know what the rest of the break was. So visible.
Starting point is 01:04:59 We made it so bright for like those three houses. That sucks for them. It's good prank. Nailed it. That's funny. Yeah, that's great though. It's fun. Good. Gridley. Gridley. Gridley. I haven't watched the video. Lydia's. Oh yeah. Haven't watched it yet. But people, I saw people commenting on it. Yeah. I need to watch it. And I don't want to know what happens. It sounds like there's a surprise twist at the end. I read one comment. Yeah. I need to watch it. It's a fun one. And I don't want to know what happens. It sounds like there's a surprise twist at the end. I read one comment. Yeah. Those videos, they know how to put the twist at the end on like, should we watch it live? Put the Imption Im Schneidschamelon. Yeah. Let's watch
Starting point is 01:05:36 it right now. Okay. How should we do that? The best way. Should we both pull it up at the same time? Timon text it to us and we both press play at the same time and it appears on I love the Nong at the same time. Great. Who do you- is somebody connected to Bluetooth? You? I can connect if we want. Stall stall stall stall. Okay, okay. Or do we just-
Starting point is 01:05:56 So it goes Epidermis. Did we- did we ever figure that out? Let's just figure that out. Layers of skin. Layers of skin. Okay, Super Dermis is not that far off. Hypodermis, it was close. In the middle you got dermis. Sometimes things are named this way.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Like what are the three parts of like the human mind? It's like id, ego, and superego. We couldn't have three unique words. The rocks did it. Can't do it with dermis. Yeah, exactly. It's the exact same thing. Epidermis, dermis, subcutis, muscles.
Starting point is 01:06:31 That's where I'm reading. I remember one of my first DMs to Rachel, I called her a little subcutis. What up, little subcutis? Yeah, you're like that. Inner layer of skin, yeah. Come on, girl. Subcutis.
Starting point is 01:06:44 All right, let me get you guys this link. A little bit of context based on what I remember was Lydia just had all these things. This is her when she was three, but she had like just dreams of when she turned four, like all these things that she would do when she was four. When I'm four, I'll swim without a puddle jumper, like in the pool when I'm four, I'll be able to climb a tree by myself. That's all this stuff. Rosie right now. She's really excited about chewing gum. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:07 How old is Lydia now? Lydia? Oh, I think she's eight. Okay. I'm probably wrong. So where's she in the lineup? She's second to last. Seven.

This is great. I'm going to put on my purple hat because I will never away come the twilight. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, I just watched it again. I love the cut to your mama holding her and I love that it was subtitles. Did you do that? I think yeah, it was like my mom wanted to put it on Facebook or something. She was like,
Starting point is 01:09:07 you can't really understand. So I like edited the words in, but yeah, that's just like, we had kind of all forgotten about that video. And then like, uh, like two months ago, we all were like going through home videos as family and my dad was crying laughing. It was so funny. She ate it so hard. Hey, but watch this back. Timon immediately goes to her to caretaker. Yeah. Caretaker. Oh yeah. Whereas who's the other that is that Jesse? Uh, Jonas is beside wait, Jonas. Is that Jesse? No, it's not. It doesn't look like Jesse. I think it's Jonas. Yeah. Yeah. He's just kind of laughing. Like that's Hattie versus Bo with Rosie right there. I think. Yeah. So she was three and now she's eight. Maybe. Ish. Ish. Probably. You would have
Starting point is 01:09:57 been what? Six? I was kidding. Uh, uh, yeah. 2020. I mean, I would have been, I can't do math. 13. Yeah. 13 ish. Man. I was, I would have been, I can't do math. 13. Yeah, 13-ish. Man. I was ready for somebody else to do it for me, too. I was like, I don't want to figure that out. That's a good lesson for you guys if you ever,
Starting point is 01:10:15 if slash when you have kids. You say, like, they'll be like, how old is he? And you just say their birthday. Well, he was born in March. That's what I say to everybody. You figure it out if you want to seven weeks, I don't know, something like that. He was born March 21st, you know. How crazy is it that you have kids born in like 2021, you know, that it seems so advanced.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Yeah, how do you was 2017? It's like so late into the realm of time. It is kinda getting that way, isn't it? Everyone I knew used to be born in the 90s, and now they're not. Yeah. Oh, I see. I thought you meant the other way around.
Starting point is 01:10:55 2017 seems like so long ago. No, it's just crazy to think you write down her birthday. Yeah. Yeah, March 2017. Yeah, like NBA players right now are born. In the 2000s. Yeah. Yeah. March 2017. Yeah. Like NBA players right now are born. In the 2000s. Yeah. Chattie's back. This time we're talking about Cozy Earth and we've got new hooks, new intros. This time they label them. So this one's called Comically Honest.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Cozy Earth makes sheets so soft. I know I'll sleep through my alarms, phone calls, and most of my responsibilities. Hey, come on, Jake. that's kind of embarrassing to say. I know, it's a podcast ad read, why would you? All right. I'm just being comically honest. This one's titled Fake Brag. I used to think success meant owning a Tesla, then I got cozier sheets,
Starting point is 01:11:38 now I measure success in thread count. Dang, dude, that feel like a little bit targeted too. That one's bad, all right. We'll find one though, That's the chatty way. Yep. Relationship humor. Uh oh, buckle in, buckle in. Cozy Earth is the reason my wife stopped being mad at me.
Starting point is 01:11:54 That's it? No. But. It would be funny if that was it. Turns out all she needed was bamboo sheets. How does it know bamboo? Google search. How does it do that?
Starting point is 01:12:04 Viscose for bamboo, technically. Sheets for me to shut up about crypto. I don't like that they threw that in there. They're going Tesla bro at me, crypto bro. What did I do to deserve this? Chatty's learned about you. I don't even know how. It knows, man.
Starting point is 01:12:19 All right, all right, last one, last one. Sleeping on cozy earth. Sheets feels like being spooned by a cloud that went to therapy. Wow. Good try. Hey, I'll say this. I'm visualizing it.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Could be worse. I'm visualizing it. Could be worse. Yeah, a cloud that went to therapy. Why they gotta throw that in there? Again, dude, they know you. Therapy, bro. Rachel, bro.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Your wife wife dude. She's in there dog. Well, I think you've heard enough, cozy earth, you know, whether you're, you're spooning or buying crypto, you're gonna wanna do it inside of some cozy earth bedsheets. Dude, genuinely the bedsheets are just the best.
Starting point is 01:13:02 They're truly the best. And I've never, you just don't have bad nights of sleep anymore. Like it's just like, this is just a good night. We're just always happy in the morning. Yeah. It's just, Oh, why are you so mad at me?
Starting point is 01:13:14 Yeah. Cozier sheets and anything. I mean, they got fuzzy socks, they got towels, throw blankets, joggers, heavy, like weighted blankets. Yes. We use that every single night. Truly every single night we use that in the bedsheets. So can't say enough good things about Cozy Earth. You get 40% off and maybe more.
Starting point is 01:13:33 It's Memorial Day. Maybe they're doing something crazy. Memorial Day. So yeah, you save even more real this week. CozyEarth.com slash Ghostrunners promo code GRKC. Check it out below. Thank you kindly. Thank you kindly.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Also, do you think we're gonna start like having tough ways of, how do I say this? Like back in the day, it was like the 70s, 80s, the 90s. And now it's like, we're just kind of lumping all the 2000s in together more or less. See, if like I was worried about this a while ago and more recently I've been like, I think we're finding our groove a little bit with music. I've seen people be like, 2000s in together more or less. See, I was worried about this a while ago, and more recently I've been like, I think we're finding our groove a little bit with music.
Starting point is 01:14:07 I've seen people be like, 2000s music, they're calling like 2000 to 2009. Really, and then they're going 2010s? And then like the 10s, yeah. Which 10s isn't great, teens would be a little better, maybe, but what do you do about 11 and 12? Yeah, it just feels like, it feels like there's not enough of a delineation in personality
Starting point is 01:14:23 between the thousands and the tens and the twenties so far. You know what I mean? Like seventies versus eighties. Oh my gosh, disco versus big hair. 100%. Yeah. Versus nineties versus two thousands.
Starting point is 01:14:36 You're talking like culturally. Yeah, I think so. Like it's like, is there gonna be a ventral like a radio station that plays 2000s music only? And somebody's gonna be like, that's 2011. It's like, oh yeah, my bad, I didn't know. It's like all the same to me. I don't know what the radio DJs will be doing.
Starting point is 01:14:53 I don't either, I'm kinda worried. What do you think the delineation is, like culturally, maybe like 2000s is like internet, but 2010s is like social media. Right, like yeah, something with like, yeah, smartphones or something like that is more later on that's true 2000 to be like the computer but then 2010s is like the mobile computer like the yeah iPads and the smartphones Yeah, who's he what?
Starting point is 01:15:16 The Zunes MP 10s. Yeah, something like that. I don't know Just thought about I'm just worried about our you know We're about generations. So I know you read, you read the book, you read the one book. Yeah. The book. What's it called? Anxious Generation. Anxious Generation. So good, dude. So good. I was going to read it, but I was on my phone. Audio version of it.
Starting point is 01:15:41 I've been reading Nate Barghazi's book and I'm realizing I should have done the audio book because I heard he does it. Yeah. But now they already paid $22 for the hardback and like kind of invested. Yeah, it's tough. I guess I'll just finish this. But because I find myself trying to read it in his voice. If only there was a way to hear it straight from him.
Starting point is 01:16:04 There's an app called Libby. You're not going to do this, but you could do this. You could it straight from him. There's an app called Libby. You're not going to do this, but you could do this. You could get it on there. Well, that's sidekits. Yeah. If I won it next year. True. You never know. It gets popular enough, though, you know, then they supply more of the fake inventory.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Yeah. It's crazy how that works. It's like you can do this. We're out of stock. What? It's like four kilobytes. What do you mean you're out of stock? What? It's like four kilobytes. What do you mean you're out of stock? Burn another CD of it. Burn me another ROM.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Tim, have you ever burned a CD? I think maybe. What's the difference? I know the word like rip a little bit better. What's rip versus burn? Are those related at all? Rip is like a techie way of saying it. Burn is like just a cool person.
Starting point is 01:16:43 A common man, a common 90s man's way of saying it. Burn is like, like just a cool, a common man, a common 90s man's way of saying it. I think I've like burned like from a CD to like a library or something like back in the day. I don't know. Oh, you downloaded the CD to the iTunes. Maybe. Yeah. Oh, to like Windows media player on like a computer or something. Classic. So the most common form of like burning a CD would be going from computer to you
Starting point is 01:17:05 bought like a set of like blank CDs. Right. I don't think I've ever done that. Gotcha. It was special. Yeah. That was something else. Dude, it was a rush. And then you had those people, certain, certain friends are like my aunt, like her CD burner was so fast. Like you could burn a CD in five minutes on that thing. Oh yeah. Or she's like probably an hour, hour and a half. Ours was not, not the highest tech one. And so it was like, yeah, you go outside, play on a trampoline, come back, burn CD.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Every once in a while corrupted it. I don't know how. Yeah. Every now and then. Yeah. Just like track seven, which is like, how, what happened? I didn't scratch it. I'm like the most careful. I never even wrote on the good side of it. So like, I'm not taking any chances. That's why I've always been like, so just like careful. You are. You name it, I'm careful about it. Like, that's not risk it guys.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Seatbelt's on, we're going to Brad's house. But yeah, I never wrote on a single CD. I just had to memorize it. All right, yellow case. Okay, different colors. Yellow cases, you know, yeah, I would distinguish them, but yeah, I never wrote on them. Oh man. Which sometimes like, you know, a friend I would distinguish them, but yeah, I never wrote on them. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Which sometimes like, you know, a friend would give you a CD and the whole thing is Sharpie. You're like freaking out. And it's bubble letters too. Tea pain, buy you a drink. Girls love to write on it. And you could get those things where you could like, like print on something and then print,
Starting point is 01:18:20 like take that and like stick it on there. That's right. You could like screen print your CD basically. For like, I think they gave us something like that for high school graduation. They gave us like a- It was like your present? Maybe just like a video of graduation.
Starting point is 01:18:34 I mean, I can't think of a more pointless gift, but I think it had like a photo on there. Okay. SHS 2010. Yeah, baby. Yeah. Burning CDs was fun. I mean, my whole childhood, from like,
Starting point is 01:18:47 from 10 to 18, I was still burning CDs. I know the playlist that we ran out to, to like our high school varsity basketball warmups, I burned that CD. I just made the playlist myself. Everyone else was like, good with me. Sounds good, man. Yeah, just pass them a blank CD and play this.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Seems so just like, I don't know, rudimentary. I think up till like a year ago, my church, like to have like records of the sermons, like used CDs up until like very recently. And like now it's like digital or whatever. Yeah. But it was like that for quite some time we had. And there's like a thing in some like back room at church that has like a bunch of cassettes, I think that was like before that. And then they must have invested a lot in the technology for the burn CDs because it's like you could you could do a pretty easy Facebook live save that bad boy to your Facebook kind of thing. Yeah. But yeah. Did you ever do the sorry. Go ahead. It's kind of
Starting point is 01:19:41 in the same realm. But glide was telling us he works at Tesla, he said, very often, potential customers will come in and say, does it have CarPlay? He's like, no, but it has like Bluetooth and a Spotify interface, and like, nah, no CarPlay. He's like, but it's Bluetooth. I mean, it's the same. It's Apple in your car. It is very.
Starting point is 01:19:59 I want CarPlay. I do like CarPlay. I kind of understand that. Yeah, like, it wouldn't be. It's kind of like Android versus, it's like the green bubbles, blue bubbles. It's like, it's, it's the same thing. It's like, it's not, it's not the same thing. Really? Yeah. And it's like navigation that you like interested in a Tesla and like going to look at one, I'm probably like not going to be
Starting point is 01:20:15 concerned about car play, but like I, car play was like, when I was looking for my car, I was like, it'd be really nice. I think there was like, I was like close to getting this red Subaru like car looking like more of a car, but then I was like, well, he has carplay though Oh, and is that because like of what what feature of carplay are you like? I'm not even it's kind of tangible Yeah, it's like the blue. It's like the blue versus green. It's just like how Apple has this and like a it's a pointless chokehold But it's like well Apple Carplay Apple has this in like a, it's a pointless choke hold, but it's like, well, Apple CarPlay. Cause I feel like it's like, unless you're plugged in, like it's super like slow and there's a delay
Starting point is 01:20:49 and it's like worse than Bluetooth. I feel like. Yeah, see, I like plugging it. That's part of it for me. Yeah, I'm plugged in too. Yeah. I don't know. How does, how does text work on yours?
Starting point is 01:20:58 It will, it'll still pop up and say who texted me and I can like press to have it read to me. It just reads it to you. Yeah, so it's the same idea. It's the same as Car. Yeah, it like does the same thing just a different like user interface Yeah, I know for a long time like uh, toyota and lexus didn't have carplay. They were anti Yeah, and it was like a bad thing for him. Yeah. Yeah, so sorry. What are we gonna say earlier? Oh, I was just gonna say like I was thinking of burning CDs and then I remember back in the day before CDs
Starting point is 01:21:24 I had a tape and I would literally like listen to the radio and like when the song was about to come on, I would record it. Yeah. 100%. I had, Oh, I wish I could find it. That would be so cool. But I had an orange MP3 player that you could record onto. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:21:37 And so you just do it. Also, I would listen to the radio and then that's when you record the song. And then, then you just have to memorize. You couldn't like type out the you record the song. And then you just have to memorize. You couldn't type out the name of the song. So I have to be like, all right, track 13 is My Life Be Like by Gritz, and track 15 is Meant to Live by Switchfoot. But there'd be something you record
Starting point is 01:21:53 and you didn't like that song anymore, so then I delete 14 or whatever. Yeah, so it would go straight from 13 to 15? You would have to manually go down and like, down, down, down, down, down, down, play. Ah, I like the. That's awesome, dude. Yeah. The little things, man, when you're a kid.
Starting point is 01:22:14 And sometimes you didn't even know the name of it. It was like, I love track six. Totally. There's no Shazam. There's no way. Like, I only have the recording of the song. He never said the name of it. I have no idea what the song is called. I actually love it. This is going to make us sound so old, but that was even like before Google.
Starting point is 01:22:27 So it wasn't even like we could Google the lyrics. There's no way to know. You just have to ask around, hey, I think it's Grit, can you, what is this? Like I remember loving, loving the song at the beginning of Dumb and Dumber. Boom, suck it like a boom, suck, white old body. But like back in the day,
Starting point is 01:22:43 like there wasn't a Dumb and Dumber soundtrack that I could find to buy. And like, so you tried to download it illegally on the internet, but I couldn't, I mean, what is it? Why ain't nobody? Like, boom, shock a lot. It's such a funny song. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:59 It's an amazing song. I don't think it's called boom shock a lot. I think it's called something like random too. So it's like for the longest time, I couldn't think it's called boom shock a lot. I think it's called something like random too It's what's like for the longest time. I couldn't find it Do the entire dumb and over sent on check is such a core memory like most of those songs I've never heard anywhere else. They're only in dumb and dumber, but every now and then you'll catch him at like a Macalester's deli Yes, dude, it's so random maybe just called it's called boom shack a lack It's good. Yeah, dude. it's so random. Maybe just call it. It's called boom shack a lack It's good. Yeah, dude. It's so good. So funny
Starting point is 01:23:33 Anyway Cuz I wrapped this puppy up. Let's wrap it up, baby. Oh my gosh What now? I? Was supposed to prepare a jingle for this week Okay Dang it What now? I was supposed to prepare a jingle for this week. Okay. Dang it. What were you supposed to prepare?
Starting point is 01:23:50 Timon, by chance, do you know? I'll just, oh man, I feel bad. Let me see. I'm worried. Do you happen to have, are you a fan of this TV show, Monk? Nope. Dang it.
Starting point is 01:24:05 No way. What is that show? No, I could, I could see time and like 10% chance of him being Monk. I feel like it's kind of an innocent like show. Like, yeah, we watch Monk as a family. Um, dang it, dude. Okay. Let me just come clean.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Oh, she's going to be so sad that I did. I might have to like figure it out for Wednesday or something. Lindsay Saria, who is cousins with Maddie Deterlie, wrote a jingle for Maddie's birthday that I was supposed to sing last week on the podcast. Completely forgot. Okay. Okay. But hey, it was always next week. We sang Maddie's jingle last week. Which was a great jingle.
Starting point is 01:24:40 That's better than any birthday song. And I realized after we recorded like, oh my gosh, I forgot to do that. Message Lindsay like, hey, before you hear Monday's episode, I just wanted to get out in front of this. We forgot about the jingle. But it's being taken care of. But don't worry, I'll learn this super obscure
Starting point is 01:24:55 Randy Newman song that's also a monk theme song for Monday. And here it comes, Totally forgot until right now. So Tymon, if you wanna take it real quick. It's Randy Newman. Oh sure, yeah. Randy Newman's the best. I mean, I've seen Toy Story.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Yeah, honestly, it's not the time it's the most qualified here to do this probably. Okay, actually, let's do it to the, you got a friend in me song. Oh, there you go. Let's just use the lyrics. Now here's something. Do we want to do our reviews of the week, like every week before we do the jingle?
Starting point is 01:25:30 Totally we do, but I just, I knew that was coming and I just realized then, oh crap. Okay, I like the tune of You Got a Friend in Me to the monk theme song written for Maddie's birthday. Yes. All right, my review is from Bryson W. I just finished listening to all the old episodes. It can now say I'm all caught up.
Starting point is 01:25:51 This is definitely one of my favorite things to listen to. Thanks for everything and keep it up. I like Bryson. That was all periods, all business. Kind of the Ernest Hemingway of reviews right there. I like listening to this. Keep it up. Yeah, Bryson's either a CPA or modern lumberjack. 65 years old. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:10 All right. Mine will come from Kidder 20. No, sorry. Emily L 28. Let's just go ahead and get it out of there. Dead rat dot dot dot dot dot dot five stars. I'm pretty sure the review from Devin Nelson about the dead rat and the dry event has been read at least five times now. Is that the one we read last week? Yeah, or I Don't know. I remember doing it recently, but I mean we definitely haven't done it five times Love the pod look forward to my Mondays and Wednesdays every week. Do I win a prize for noticing the repeat of the review? It's so funny how somebody likes people were like guys. I swear they've done this one before
Starting point is 01:26:43 I look at the groom during the wedding. After the fifth one, it's like, does anybody else notice this thing? And everyone wants a prize. Yes. Yeah. Uh, they, they asked, but for real, is there a reason for the repeat? Thanks for the laugh. Keep the good work.
Starting point is 01:27:00 Uh, I mean, we, we actually told them the reason, right? Not without a prize. We should give her a prize. Come to go see get away. If you're a good guy, the reason will be in the treasure room. Oh, OK. You go dangle the carrot. That's right.
Starting point is 01:27:19 Angle the carrot. All right. Oh, I guess you don't have the lyrics to this. Do you time in? I do not copy. Do you guys when you copy, I command C twice. I command CC, just in case, just in case I miss the first one. I don't think I did that. I don't.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Turns out I'm not that careful. Command V. We've talked about this before, but you do have to press caps lock twice or hit it with a ball-pane hammer. Remember when we talked about that? Like how you quickly press caps lock and doesn't work because it thinks that you did it on mistake.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Holy cow, I don't remember talking about that. I remember ball peen hammer What do you mean? You remember ball peen? I remember I remember you said ball peen one time when I was like what did you just say? Like ball peen I've never heard that is that not the name of it? No, it is we looked it up and then we even did like a like pronunciation they were like ball peen We're a robot saying, peen over and over. Oh, I just never heard of it before. Oh, peen. Yeah. Caps lock is annoying.
Starting point is 01:28:14 All right. I didn't make the mistake. Brad, I'm very okay with you taking this. Okay. If we're both trying to figure out like improvised syllables, I don't know how that'll go to a song that doesn't actually go together. How do I, how do I get, how do it? Give me a little Randy Newman. Ask voice. You got Fred in me. You got Fred. That was great. Yeah, that was better. Dang it. All right. I'll try it. Yeah. You can't set them up like that. Maddie, I've been practicing Happy birthday! Right here? There's a ghostie out there
Starting point is 01:28:52 Okay, Louie Making gifts and writing jingles we all share That sounds good No one seems to care but she does Hey, it's Maddie, Maddie Deeter Lee.
