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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
Glue.
Glue.
Glue.
Oh, wood glue.
Glue aisle. Something. Epoxy resin. Oh, wood glue. Wood glue.
Something.
Epoxy resin.
Oh, what are you epoxying?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
Huh?
What?
What'd he say?
Oh, guess not.
It's like, okay.

Glide. Glide was moving, so we helped him move.
We were the movers.
Which was fine.
Took longer than anticipated, always does, but easy.
It's a nice day out.
Yeah, it was a beautiful day for moving.
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.
And not just any Cybertruck, like the fastest craziest model, they call it cyber beast.
It was awesome.
Oh yeah, it was awesome.
So yeah, Isaac and I get there first and guys like you want to drive it around?
We're like, sure.
I was a little weirdly talk about being nervous about going into Mr. Uros.
I was a little nervous to drive with the,
what they call the regenerative braking thing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
This big old, yeah, Texas truck.
Just beautiful.
So Chad GPT is back this time to talk about Major Roasters.
I said, all right, let me have it again.
I need an opening sentence.
Give it to us, Chatty.
This episode is sponsored by Major Roasters.
The only reason I haven't texted my ex or joined a pyramid scheme this morning.
I shouldn't have laughed, sorry.
Cheap, cheap laugh.
I don't really understand.
Before I had my Mates for Roasters coffee today,
I tried to brush my teeth with deodorant.
Let's just say caffeine saves a lot.
What is happening?
You've never
That's totally relatable to me. Is it an addiction? Is it a morning ritual? Is it both either way?
Major Ocers is my personality now

Tymon.
Yes.
When's the last time you got a tetanus shot?
Oh, I don't know.
I think it's happened before.
Good, you're fine. But I think a young Oh, I don't know. I think it's happened before. Good, you're fine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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,

Catnip.
You know what you said?
No, tetanus.
Like, like, like, or hey, either one answer either question.
It's like tetanus.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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-
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Okay.
So are we pressing to be fair, are we pressing the play button or are we pressing the link
to open up in YouTube?
We're going to press the link.
Okay.
Yeah. Get the link pulled up. Yeah, get the link pulled up.
Oh, already pulled up.
Yeah, good call, good call, good call.
Then we can all start roughly at the same time.
She just had all these things she would say, it's great.
Brad's gonna hit space bar.
Whoa, look at time, it's cool socks.
Yep.
Yeah. So sick.
All right, space bar, three, two, one, now.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,

40 years old and I'm 4
and I know that because
my heart is full of gravity
and because
I know how to dance and I know
how to read and I know how to
read books to children
and I know how to
swim without my brother. So, I'll show you how I can dance.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
You don't think you could have improvised that at the same time together?
Great first stanza there.
There's a ghostie out there Broadway in the very air
She breathes do you know what is her favorite thing to drink?
Well I do it's ice coffee Coffee
Coffee

It's Maddie Deeder Lee.
Keep going baby.
The Vines on the Seaside.
Wow. Not bad. Turns out when you can make coffee into 18 syllables. It's pretty low is pretty perfect
It's like there's not that many lyrics for this I think the other song is like a minute long. So I was like, all right.
That was great.
Well, that was an episode.
Oh, I was supposed to say this earlier.
Hey, better late than never.
If people want to come out, volleyball championship this,
I guess tomorrow night, this Tuesday,
Ivy Arena.

and throw it again. It took you how long to get good at that?
