One two three let's begin. Let's begin. Headphones in. Let's begin. Let's begin. Headphones out. Scream and shout. Headphones sideways. Oh I can't control my car down the highway. It's lengthier but it works. I was like he's getting there yeah Victoria McMillan posted on our Facebook V Mac Facebook Facebook how you made me say Facebook Facebook group three hours ago I'm 95% sure I saw Jake slash Isaac slash Rachel slash horse girl jet skiing last week I'm a San Diego native and live right next to the Carlsbad Lagoon. Oh yeah. You can see it from the freeway. The Saturday they were in South Dakota, SD. Saturday they were in San Diego. Around 12.45pm I was driving past and saw the jet skis out there.

I even said out loud, that looks so fun. I've got to go to the Lagoon soon. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but still so fun y'all were in the area. What are the odds of that? And then Anna Baf buffini no way that's exactly when we were jet-ski. Yeah That's wild, dude That's what's so cool about Earth I guess the social media helps it but just like you have so many like Narrow misses and so when they do finally like kind of even somewhat to come together. It's just like, yeah, it boggles your brain.

It's so cool when it happens and it makes you think like I bet only one out of every 20 times do you actually realize when you're near someone? Yeah. Wow. I was in the same Walmart as my kindergarten teacher. Like, have I ever driven my car past Michael Jackson? I don't know for sure. No, Michael Jackson. I'm just saying he was alive for a long part of our life when you were driving

Yeah Car if I was in the car My mom was in like my headphones were sideways and I'm driving down the highway Don't be a killer listen to thriller. Yep Like this Rachel come into the bed. Do Michael Jackson stuff. That was stupid. I hate that I did that.

Oh my. All right. Edit, edit, edit, edit, edit. Anyway, pretty neat. So yeah, have I ever driven my car past Michael Jackson? Probably not. Probably not? Have you ever, have you ever driven like what's there one time?

That's what it's like thought like yeah, it's crazy all the quinces We haven't realized gonna go Patrick Mahomes, but come on everyone hates the chase blah blah blah Let's go Michael Jackson have I ever had a waiter. That's been a humpback whale We don't know for sure for sure. That's basically what you said. That's the equivalent to what I said? Has my dentist ever been the Prime Minister of Pakistan? I wonder.

Like probably not? Probably not, but there's a chance. That is exactly the same thing, you're right. Rachel, you say one now. Come on, get in with the guys. Come on, we're just chopping it up with the boys. All right. Has my garbage guy been Michael Jordan?

Yeah! Because it's silly that he would have that job. Oh, it would be so silly. In Kansas City. I bet he'd make the trash bins into the big basket at the end. He would dunk them in there. Yes, dude. Come on.

He should, yeah, he dunks, thank you. Rachel's going with the boys. Yes, and? Rachel's got it. What? Okay, but what about, didn't one time you went to Hy-Vee Arena and you thought maybe the, like Joe Biden was there?

Genuinely. Yes. So I'm just saying, why not Michael Jackson too? Back when he was alive, I bet he performed in Kansas City at some point. He might have been like, I want to go to Olathe for a second to see what these commoners live like. And yeah, so maybe. And we were just like, you know what? It's time for us to go out on a little drive. Yeah.

And there's MJ. You know, I'm just saying. So if you live by the lagoon, we'll see you soon. Has my toll booth operator? What's so funny? I didn't know you had a toll booth operator. His personal. Good point.

So. When does that start? Oh, not for a while. I think maybe October or so. I'm not sure.

Wow, they're recruiting early. Dude, yeah. Shout out to Sam. He is awesome. I even wrote that down in my list. Like our kids had VBS this past week and our church does VBS so well and it is such a huge machine

and they do it amazingly. Like it's like, it rivals Canna Cuck. Like it's so well done. And there's so many people that go, you know, whatever. And that got over on Thursday, he called me the next Monday about fall. He's already thinking about it. Wow.

He's just ready to go. He's the man. So yeah, really, really blessed by him. But yeah, I don't think it starts for a while. But he's like, all right, you'll be Mondays at five o'clock and Hattie will be at 6 o'clock for cheerleading practice You guys can do both of them like he's on top. Well, how do you be cheering at Bo's games? No age difference. I believe it's it's different ages and I don't even think they have cheerleaders for Bo's age

maybe yeah, I don't I don't think so, but Maybe had he'll just go over there by herself. It just Yeah, but Rachel did a little VBS volunteering recently and it sounded like it was not like you were maybe we didn't have the same people running it. Was it was it a magnified theme? No. Around the world. The whole world.

Yeah. Okay. So did you have did they encourage you like okay dress up like your favorite? Yes. Yes. Cultural. Well, that's quite that. Maybe you're like a favorite cultural profession. Well, not quite that. Maybe you're like a safari person.

Yeah, except for the t-shirts that you had to wear also to match the theme, but they did not match the theme and the t-shirts didn't come in. Oh no, the t-shirts didn't come in. Okay, Rachel wanted to put like eight t-shirts on and she's like, I'm Middle Eastern. It's a hijab. No. You didn't say that. No. No, that's not how it went. Eastern. It's at her job. No. No. You didn't do that. You didn't say that.

No. No, that's not how it went. Nope, she went around the world. Yeah. And skipped the Middle East. Yes. Anyway. Anyway.

Anyway, so okay, what was your responsibility at VBS? Well, at first I said I would be with anybody, so they assigned me to the fifth grade boys, which was like, the boys. But it would be fine. I've got fifth grade boys in my school and they're fine. Did they know it was just you, not like you and your husband? Yes. They knew it was just me. Fifth grade boys would be fine. Yeah. Yeah. So, but then luckily there

were some boy volunteers that came like the day, the first day of it. So they're like, we'll put them with the fifth grade boys. Okay. Rachel, could you go to the fifth grade girls? It's like, yes. Yes. And then, they're actually, I had to co-lead with a girl that was already part of the fifth grade girls. And she was like a 16 year old homeschooled girl that really acted like it. Oh. And I was her assistant. Oh, she was. She was already in charge. Oh yeah. Cause she was already prepared to be like the, did she act like your person in charge? No, she did not. Okay. Yet she was still leading the group. She was just very passive and it was, she tried her best.

Oh, so she did still lead. Yes, like I gave her the opportunity to lead for sure. Okay, okay. How many kids did you have in your group? Probably like 10. Oh, pretty big group. Yeah, it was fine. It was definitely manageable.

Okay, yeah, I guess fifth grade. But really just unorganized. Like even the simplest of games like nine square They used a real volleyball for it. Oh for third grade through fifth grade Yeah, which like my volleyball team that would have been a nightmare, right? It's that's hard to handle so like wait max you got two hits in one. Yeah As you get it over there. Yes, but there was someone who is good at it, right? Oh, yes Yes, it's one of the other volunteers you're good. Yes. But there was someone who was good at it, right? Oh, yes.

Yes. One of the other volunteers was really good at it. Opal, the boy. Opal the boy was really good and he loved to be in the middle and just getting people out in not a funny way. Just dominate them. Yes, like jump serving from the middle at a third grade girl so she obviously can't get it back to the line.

I think there's some people who just don't have the gene of, maybe it's not a gene, maybe it's just you don't get taught, but like of just like, hey, you change the way you play around different people. It's so annoying when someone doesn't have that trait, whatever it is, whatever sport, whatever activity, whatever you're doing, it's like take it easy or like assess, read the room, really what it is, read the room, assess the skill. Right. Like even like I play board games with the kids. I'm like, I let, I go so I even tell Hattie like go a little slower Let both figure it out for a second, you know, whatever Yeah, cuz it's just like you don't want to be spiking a volleyball down on people. Yeah, like it's like, okay

They can barely move like whatever. Yes. Yes. Some people just don't don't have that and opal doesn't does not yeah VBS is like that it runs the gamut of like, your expectations can be, like it can be so loose and like so like, that was chaos or like so tightly. And like, granted our church is so big that like it is a production. It is like a, like there's so many volunteers which makes it, like I think Bo's class,

I bet Bo had like six or eight people, I'm not sure exactly, but then I think they had three adult volunteers and maybe like two like teenage volunteers. So it's like, yeah, huge, yeah, great numbers. Makes it way better, but anyway. Yeah, magnified. I don't know if, I feel like that's like one of those

like themes that a lot of churches are doing. So if anybody else doing magnify, we can sing the songs together. Magnified. It's on us. Yeah. Uh, yesterday some things happened to me at the gym. Yes. Lifetime with some lifetime stories. And I've purposely not told these to Rachel. I was dying to know. We're in our first stage ever of like saving things for the podcast. Feels good.

Um, we're going to start with, uh, the, stage ever of like saving things for the podcast feels good. We're gonna start with the not as bad thing. So this was just, I just never experienced this before. It's like very busy. I think I was there like at 5 p.m. yesterday. So it's crazy. And I was like on this machine. I had just gotten over there. I had just done one set of it.

And this guy was just like, hey man, how many more sets do you have? I was like, I was gonna do like two or three more, and he's like, oh, okay. And then he takes like two steps back, it doesn't even get on his phone, he just like watches me. Where, where, where, where?

I was doing- Wait, wait, paint me the picture of what machine, where is he standing, what, yeah. I was like, maybe I don't need to be uncomfortable about this, maybe this is just like Jim Coltrane, this hasn't happened to me, but I didn't like him Just like I was like get on your phone dude get under so the pictures tell me about this guy Under the TVs. Yeah, it's the one where you get up against the half physio ball your forearms on the thing

You're doing abs like you're bringing your legs up your knees up that thing. It's kind of by lat pulldown. Yes Yes, that's where I'm at. So that's where he snags me snags me him in how many more? Yeah, I was gonna take two three more Okay, he takes like a couple steps back. He's like next to another machine And I'm like, I see he's got a phone in his pocket So you're at you're doing it on a man get on Instagram. You're doing the thing where you bend down and come up Yeah, I don't bend down. It's like oh, I'm holding myself up like you bring your arms up. Yeah, your knees come up Oh, yeah, yeah work out. Okay, and so he's within, he's like in your vision though. Yeah, we're just looking right at each other.

And I'm trying to look anywhere else, but this guy is like right there. Go somewhere, like walk around, like pace around. It wasn't like even one more set. It was like, I plan on being here for five more minutes. Oh, okay. What a, what. Be right here.

Peeping Tom over here. What, like what kind of gym, like was he a gym bro? Like was he? Not necessarily, he's probably like a 20 year old guy. Not huge, not wearing a skinny tank top. You know, he's a normal looking guy. For sure. Cause I got a good look at him. Yeah. Okay, so then, does that mean you did all three sets?

No, of course not. I'll be done after one. I'm good, I'm good. Let me wipe watch and I went and I wiped it off for him. Oh, I made a given that you know Set to ten now. I just did one set of six and I'm out of here. Yeah, you're doing Maybe maybe honestly, maybe he was thinking like we could alternate Good that I didn't say that if that's what he meant, but he just wanted how many more sets Yeah, I don't know enough about Jim etiquette to know if that seems wild to me though.

Yeah, so that was my first for that. I didn't love that. Has it ever happened to you? Never. Really? No. Like when you see somebody using the machine you want to use, you either just were like,

well, I guess I'm not doing that today, or you find something else to do, or get water or something. Wait, hold on, you guys hear that real quick? What? Perfect. Yes, Rachel. You nailed it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do it. Do it a couple more times. You guys hear that? Yeah. What's that noise for?

Like that, where someone's using your machine. I mean, that's an easy one. The five types of waiting for your machine. Yeah. And there's people who go right up and ask them. I am more of like the Yes, like you have an angle where you can see their arm, but not the other entire body. It's like I'm pretty yeah so

Okay, you done awesome. Oh my gosh. I walked up timing. That's so that's crazy. I just got to the gym Yeah, I just got my membership this morning How do you use this one again? Oh, I'll figure it out go run along Don't a machine buys business like Yeah, that's me. I'm the lurker. Yeah, I Yeah, I'm like the I don't I don't need a certain order So I'm just like I guess I'll come back to that and every once in a while It's like let's be honest a decent amount of time. It's like well, it's still in you. So I'm just gonna be done

Let's be honest a decent amount of time. It's like well, it's still in you. So I'm just gonna be done Rachel is looking for any reason not to do every exercise That guy look kind of sweaty doing it That guy's creepy yeah, yeah, I guess weird he's staring at my husband doing abs Yeah, dude that did you feel like it was a power move or was it like socially awkward move? I don't I don't know. I don't think it would like was he looking at you sometime? I mean, he wasn't just like staring at me.

You know, it wasn't like extremely socially awkward, but it was just like he's in my vicinity and he's not just getting on his foot. I think it was more like it's busy. He's staking his claim. He's like, I'm not going to let anything get between me and this ad machine unless it's this guy I've already talked to okay He's the only one allowed I guess yeah in the context of it's busy that makes it feel a little bit less crazy because like He's didn't want to get too far away from it Then it's not like this obvious like it's just me and this guy like because then if I'm like somebody that's four machines down

Just working out. I'm like what's going on over there? You know, but if there's 20 people there, you know working out or 50 people it's like, okay, you know, I just thought of this he in a way he did me a favor. Let's say he was like, oh, three sets. Okay, I'll come back. I'll just use it after you. And then I'm doing my three sets and I can't find him as the people please here. I might have been like, ah, geez, I might like stay here until I see him again so he can have did. Would you really? Maybe so busy. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. He saved me from having to make that tough decision. Good for. Yeah. Good silver lighting. Oh, he wanted it. That's the first thing that happened yesterday. Okay. That was unique. The second thing that happened, Rachel, I know you would have hated this it's hard to explain why this is like so weird and cringy But I saw there were a couple a guy and girl together and they they're dressed in the part

They're just dressed in the part dressed in the part of together or dressed in the part of the gym a couple who lives together is stronger together Okay, I've actually never seen them before but that makes sense But they're they're like dressing like she's got a matching workout set exactly Okay, he's got sweatpants and a tank on oh No, you're trying to sweat. What kind of tank we talking skinny like a kind of whale's tail You say Gold's gym on it. Yeah Got it college-age and

I Think I don't I'm not speculating too much on the Bluetooth technology these days, but it would appear that one phone is going to both set of Beats headphones. They each have wireless headphones on, and I think they're listening to the same music. And the reason I know this is because the way

they were publicly dancing in front of everyone, it was bad. Really? And now they're not doing a tick tock Jack Mahomes dance. They're not Jack Mahomes. They're not jacking it.

That's not like, you know, full gritty in front of the dumbbell set or anything. But what they are doing, I will demonstrate. It was so bad. I saw multiple iterations of it. It was like I went to the dumbbells

and I saw it once and I thought, dear God. Oh, so it was so bad. I saw multiple rations of it I was like I went to the dumbbells and I saw it once and I thought dear Oh, so it was like consistent and then I you know, I'm doing like back stuff for 15 minutes. I come back New songs on okay. Oh, they're loving this one, too. It was the worst. I should have practiced but um, Rachel When does it cut off my head? You're good. Really? Yep. All right. So I'm going to say the what's important is his lips are like this.

No. Oh, hey, yo, how? So he's doing that for he's doing that for a little bit. And then there's some of like, no. Yeah. Oh, just grooving. Oh, my gosh. Maybe is she also weird, subtle moves like that. That just seems like you have to be begging for attention and brother, you're getting it. Yeah, because I can't stop staring at this

So that was point number two something. I've never encountered in the gym wait Can I ask you say where they are exactly in the gym there by the mirrors? Like by the dumbbells. Oh, I see they're watching themselves No, they're kind of looking at each other dancing sometimes watching themselves Interesting it was wild. I didn't like it, but it's fine. They're not hurting anybody. They're just having fun dancing with a young couple. It's fine. But it sounds like it wasn't just like, oh, we're just like excited about this one song. Yeah, because Rachel and I work out all the time together now.

And we joke, we goof. But this was like very performative goofing. Quick sidebar. When Rachel and I first started working out together, when summer started a month or so ago, originally, whatever workout I was doing, Rachel would do with me. That is no longer taking place, but One thing we found out is interesting, you know, like I'm doing bench press. Okay, we'll take a lot of weight off Rachel Doing a lot less. Okay. I'm doing this take it off for Rachel when it comes to the shoulders

You'll last can keep up The last you said last you'll last you, the old lass can keep up. The lass, you said lass. The old lass. The old lass. The old lass. The old lass ain't too bad. That old lass can keep up. Got some shoulders on her.

You got some shoulders, yeah, thank you for the compliment. Yeah. Yeah, originally we were like, is this from a setting? Just like 10,000 times in your life? Are your shoulders really strong? It's not every shoulder workout, but it was just like above the one that's like, yeah, you're just your arms are up for a long time.

Shoulder press. I was only doing like five pounds more than Rachel, which is crazy because you have big shoulders. Thank you. Traps. Now, like these things, you've always had this thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks guys. It's always looked like free and like fantastic for that guy. It's super strong guy Fred so anyway, I will hope over here. That was just kind of a fun fact interesting though back to the third thing And this one's my bed Do you know it I made a boo-boo. No, this is so embarrassing. This is so bad Kind of alright, so I like to do abs pretty often one of my favorite machines is like the decline Crunch decline bench or whatever so your legs are kind of tangled in this thing

That's what I'll say thought you were doing the first time and you're like I like to put on like the maximum angle I mean you're like you're a bat sleeping almost you're almost like you're pretty upside down because I think it's a better workout and So if you imagine your head's like almost at the ground and you're doing like a really like difficult sit up, I want to make sure I'm not like using my arms to like pull myself up, you know, I'm trying to like do it with the right form. And so and I also don't have my phone on the ground. So you know, I don't want in my pockets. So this is all the context. This is my reasoning going into why I

usually just keep my phone in my hand. Okay. And I put my arms over my chest. Okay. Okay. Because that it's just like, I don't want to like be swinging my arms. So it's just like, this is easy. And then I do like elbows to knees. That's how I've always done it. Nothing of an issue. And I kid you not right as like two girls, you know, like as I'm coming up, he's like, girls are coming over just, you know, the type nothing but, you know, like as I'm coming up, these like girls are coming over just, you know, the type, nothing but, you know, athleisure and not a ton of it,

but just like walking by as I do my sit ups, we've all seen this happen before. I press my flashlight. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. By the time I realized it, it looked like mid sit-up I'm just like let me get a let me get a quick shot of this No, see if they notice Quick 17 18 19 20. Yeah, just pan around

Yeah, just pan around. Oh man. Only reason I saw it is because when you look up, you look into the mirror. Uh-huh. You're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Yeah, like. And I'm like, how? The perfect storm happened. That is how could you even like plant? That is so funny. My flashlight just like pushing it because your phone does that sometimes like I didn't press the flashlight.

And that button of yours you picked to be a flashlight. I don't know. Oh, maybe it was the action. I bet it was. Well, I bet you're right. I was thinking it was like I have it on my home screen, like a widget for the flashlight. So do I.

But the iPhone 15 and 16, you get a new button and you can make this action button anything. Maybe that was it. 100%. Got to be. For sure you were squeezing it. Also, since Rachel's here, I can commis or not commis right. I can relate. Like that's the most Jake thing ever to just hold his phone in his hand

Like put on the ground like a no, I don't like that's so Jake to like like holding his phone It really is. What is it? I'm so spread out at the gym. I've got this I've got my sweatshirt that I've taken off. I've got my right my phone. I probably have my airpods case if I brought them Yeah, I'm spread out Jake is Yeah compact I'm not you know, no No one's way I don't even take my AirPods case in so I don't have to go to the locker room, you know, you're anti locker room Yeah, well, yeah since the interest since the locker is the locker works is you pick something that's

memorable to you. So you never shower there? No. Okay. I'm not like you. Yeah. I was gonna say I'm a shower guy. I'll show before after this happened. The pool. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. That was the trifecta at lifetime. Can you point out those girls to me next time we go? Yeah. No, no. Wait. Can I just see the picture on your phone? Yeah. The answer is I didn't. I don't remember. No, no, go. Yeah. No, no. Wait, can I just see the picture on your phone? Yeah. The answer is I didn't. I don't remember. No, no, no, no. Yeah. No, no, no. I honestly, I didn't even get a good look at him. This is going to be like a sign-filled episode where like they see me pointing to them next time. And now they're like, like, now he's pointing at us. What's he doing? I knew it. Yeah. And it ends up being Smiley's granddaughter. Smiley. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is Smiley's

daughter. What if? Wow. That is Seinfeld. You're right. I got tips from a guy who said he was turning 80 years old next week at the gym. Really? And honestly, the guy looked like he was 65. So I was like, I'll take tips from you, bro. It was, and honestly, it was also like, this might have been like life changing advice for me. Like I've talked to you about how like, I've had this like tendonitis stuff. Out of nowhere, he was like, hey, the way you're curling, he's like, eventually like that's gonna hurt your tendons

and you're gonna get tendonitis. So I was like, I already am getting tendonitis. And so he's like, yeah, don't go all the way down when you curl, just like keep it up here. You heard that? Is that common knowledge? I don't know. I don't know either but man was like, okay So I was I was curling and I was standing up and so I was like curling interesting bring it all the way down Thinking like that was more. I thought that was a good workout It's when you're like muscles completely spread out dude, but I'll tell you right just right here doing this

You feel it way more you got to go down and wait probably too, right? I went down. I went yeah, I was during I was curling 40s and today I curled 20s And like I was like, oh like I was starting to feel like freakin the Incredible Hulk. All right, that's good to know So curls never go like that. Like I don't know if this is right people are gonna say it's not but something about time under tension I think that's the tension part is like, okay there So then if you're in the tension part, you're getting the best workout Interesting. Yeah, he said hammer curls which are like Hammer curls you can go down. Okay way but bicep curls or whatever you call those. He's like don't do that

All right, and I mean this guy he wasn't man It wasn't like he was on steroids or anything, but it was like this guy's a fit man for turning 80 next week His Bob shout Bob big Bobby so That's it. That's great. I'll look at that She's still thinking about the flash. I'll have to film that is so that is so Jake all that all that is so Jake like Go off when they walk by Okay, and also like yeah the fact that you like have have it set up like do you have a setup for this

Also, okay. I think you thought that I had a good idea of making it the flash. I knew made it yours, too Oh, this is great. Listen ever backfire great Yeah, it was wild day in the job I've had anything like interesting really happened to me in the gym in two months and then just all in one day yesterday It's 5 p.m. We're not gonna happen a rush hour. Yeah, really So a guy today who I was on his podcast in 2019 Really at the gym. Yep, who like all what podcast was that Paul's podcast Paul's pod Paul's pod, Paulie Sorry, where you're gonna say nothing interesting

Well, I want to know what the podcast is about now. He's a motivational speaker He has a podcast and like a brand called funda Mism pretty sure is what's called I was on there back in the day Wow, he's still doing it. I know he's speaking I don't know like if he's podcast is still going on, but Cool. Yep I don't know if I was gonna say much else with that. I have this written down. I have a few like random questions, random thoughts here. One of them is how often are there tears at your house? Because I bet even if you guys cried every single day, we would beat you by 20 times. Yes. You know, like, like it's in every

single house. Every house has every house has like, I mean, I just experienced somebody crying all the time. That's a good point. I was in your driveway for 15 minutes this morning and I experienced it. Really? Who was it? Rosie, actually it was almost everybody at one point. When I was leaving.

It's wild, oh, when they, yeah, because you were leaving. But that wasn't the reason. It was like, okay, I'll leave. Yeah. What happened? Something about some frozen grapes, I think. Okay. That's real. Something of Rosie's snapped off or something. I don't know. Oh man. Yeah. Rosie's been, she's definitely like the worst, like the most cry. Henry obviously too can be so yeah, whatever.

And then everyone's wow bow. And then Hattie's doesn't really cry anymore. But yeah, just all the time. I'm just, I experience tears all the time. Like it's just wild. And I'm just like, what what's going on? J.G.Rachel's house that's just very rare in our house. You know, like, yeah, or what, you know, whatever it is like. Or my parents house. Like, what are they doing?

You know, yeah, what's happening there? It's not happening at their households. D.V. They my parents DVR more than like in a day than I DVR. Yeah, that's true. That for. What do weR more than I like in a day than I DVR What do we do more than most people We're laughing quite a bit laughing I Don't know. It's just the tears man. It's just wild. There's there's tears, but it's always like I know we're gonna get over this Yeah, it's a quick tears. Yeah. Yeah

but man But it's always like, I know we're going to get over this. Yeah, it's a quick tears. Yeah. Yeah. But man, it's one of those things where like, I think if someone didn't understand that it happens all the time, they'd be like, oh my gosh, this is chaos. Yeah. I bet. It's wild. But actually working in the elementary last year reminded me like how quickly tears come in kids, just like bad, or like they feel bad instantly tears over nothing. They just like almost can't control it. Man. Yeah. And the ones that they're like truly sad, it's so hard to see. Like it's one thing if it's like,

I know you're, Henry, you're crying because you want food and you're, you know, whatever. Just stop. Or, you know, like, Beau, you're not really crying. There's no tears. But like when it's like they're embarrassed or they're like, oh my gosh, I hate this. Yeah. So you feel so bad for them. So and then you say it's not that big of a deal. Don't be embarrassed. Have some perspective.

It's like, let me get some scissors and cut off your bracelet. Yeah. They're frozen grapes. Chill. You'll be fine. There's more in the freezer. I eat meat and I don't care who knows. I eat meat and I don't care who knows.

Um's every time she posts something, I laugh out loud. Like someone that I like when, when she pops up on Instagram, I just love it. I know I'm going to love it. I like it. Before I even watch it.

She's, I don't know what it is about her, but she's so funny. Um, so that and now laughingly, because also Jake with the flashlight, that's so funny. You laughed hard at that. You also had like a real red face at the beginning. Like you were embarrassed for him. I think. Yes, I was. That was so good. That's why I shaved my mustache. It can't be seen in there. Yeah. Did you have the mustache at the time? I don't know. No, I didn't. Okay.

That would have been worse. Um, I'm so like not into the pop, like whatever. What's the girl's name? She's an Olsen sister Tate McCrae Tate McCrae She is no Rachel. Okay, we're joking around. You know, I'm talking about there's Elizabeth Olsen's our name I don't know Mary there is no Elizabeth Olsen. Is she not an Olsen twin or Olsen sister? I think a sister actually, I think you're right. Oh really? I just assumed her last name's Olsen She looks just like the other ones. Oh really, but she's like really famous right now. I got no idea I don't marry Kate and Ashley and that's it. Okay, good. You're making me feel better. She might be one of the Avengers things Oh, yeah, maybe she did a movie one time. We're doing great here time

It would be like rolling over his grave right now check my letterbox guys. I Don't know. I guess I assume this is what I assume to know about her I think she's a Olsen sister and I think she maybe she's in like a popular HBO show or something so I just thought you guys would know more than I do I think that Veronica looks like that girl Elizabeth Olsen and so I don't but I don't know enough about Elizabeth Olsen so I was like is that Elizabeth Olsen? I just don't know that much about her. They do look similar. I think we're thinking of the same person though. Yeah. Yes, Elizabeth Olsen is the younger sister

of the famous twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley. What is she famous for? She's the youngest sister of the famous twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley is what I'm seeing here. What shows, what movies. American actress, first gained recognition for her work in independent films. Yes.

Is that what you were thinking of? Marvel Cinematic Universe, Rachel. Avengers, Age of Ultron. Oh, it's a good one. I had no idea that was even the name of one. It actually sounds like you made it up. Yes. Fair.

The scarcity of Scantron, the Age of Ultron. She was also in Avengers Endgame. And Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness Geez, I'm glad I'm not known for that age 36 That's it. Oh, yeah, I thought she was on HBO Not not seeing anything about HBO shows. I don't know Okay

Elizabeth Olsen Veronica Does she look like Veronica? Wait, that's your laugh of the week? Elizabeth Olsen, Veronica. Does she look like Veronica to you? Wait, that's your laugh of the week? Rachel's. Mine. Oh, wait. Yeah, go ahead and hate on her.

I thought it was like, all right, Rachel's talking about Veronica, and then you were like, you guys know Elizabeth Olsen, right? So hilarious. I forgot, you said that she looks like Veronica. My laugh of the week is I saw Will Severns at Lifetime the other day,

and I had already gotten the cold punch. He's's like you want to go in the cold plunge with me And you know how much I think it's hilarious when people aka Jake that are very competent a lot of different things Struggle with something and so I got to watch will who's also very competent a lot of different things Absolutely hate like struggle so much with this cold punch. Like he's just he's just like dying. Like he's only waist deep. He's just like, I was like, just like I was like, so what time do you guys get here today? How you been? I don't know. Like, I don't know, dude. He's just like struggling so badly being such a baby about it. And I just loved it.

I it was so funny to, and I just loved it. It was so funny to me, I laughed so hard. I need to cold plunge like by myself the first couple times so that doesn't happen. I'm gonna hate it. Bring your phone. Honestly, I have, shout out Ghosties on Second, the podcast, I listened to it for three minutes

of one of the times I cold plunged, because I was like, I wanna have something to like listen to that I don't know anything about yet. Yeah, I'm curious. I'm interested. That's the that's the Ticker for me. That's good. Yeah, so Uh my laugh of the week comes from a few nights ago. It was I don't know 10 o'clock at night. We got the lights off for the most part. Maybe a lamp It's like a nice vibe in the living room. I got my calf on some pillows. Yeah, I said it calf on pillows and I'm eating

One of my I'm eating watermelon. Oh late-night melon. Okay watching something and Rachel comes over and she has made Like for some reason just like a homemade gross nachos just like sprinkled cheese on some chips Yeah, like frat nachos. Yes, I've been having them since college. Yes. You microwave it? Yes.

It's actually embarrassing. No. Talking about it. I've never seen her do this. Organic chips, gluten-free, and raw sharp cheddar. Wow. Oh, man. And so she comes over, she just got done making nachos. So first thing she wants to do is come over to the couch

and eat the watermelon for some reason. And so she comes over and I was just like, oh my gosh, that smells awful. The second I said that, with a full mouth of watermelon, she goes, it's nachos! I was like, what? She was like, why was I so mad? Because you repeated exactly what I said.

So much more offensive. It was just unreal for like three seconds. I was like, who are you? It was, I was so glad that you called me out because I was like, that was mean. What the heck just happened to me? I'm not normally the one in the house who complains about smells.

Like once per month, I'll complain about a smell and I figured that was allowed. That's my role. And I was like, holy cow, there was nachos. It's nachos! Yeah, that was like nachos don't smell bad. But yeah, she couldn't really talk. Yeah, what was?

She was screaming it's nachos with watermelon. Because the watermelon was in my mouth. Yeah, yeah. So it's not even just full mouth. It's like a lot of liquid leaf. It's not good. You know what I mean? It's fine.

I laughed for a long time. Yeah, she got so tickled. Like the most tickled I've ever seen, Rachel. Just me making fun of her for how she said that to me. So that was our laugh of the week. What was so smelly? Was it the cheese cheese you think? I guess so. Yeah, you said it was organic sharp cheddar. Yeah, I'll probably do it

Gosh, that smelled and i'm in a watermelon mood, you know There's not much I want added to that vibe. I think I was kind of jealous because once I saw the watermelon It's like that's way better Ah, yeah Oh, just maybe a little snack. I'll set this down once he heaven Yeah, I just made me a little snack. I'll set this down once he heaven Okay, is that real though? I I want to try a cathetered spoon before I even try my own Like we get ice cream like what is your taste like you your own? Why do you need some of my I'm like ah?

What's right? Yeah, that's so funny put my chocolate spoon her vanilla. she's like well. It's got chocolate everywhere That's good. Yeah, okay next one uh quote of the week quote yeah Quote of the week am I starting again. Yeah, yeah sure yeah um You want me to do my dad's are we gonna do it? I that's that was what I was gonna do, okay? I'll do his other one Or were you gonna do it? That was what I was gonna do. Okay, then I'll do his other one. Okay, go for it.

Okay, okay, okay. My quote of the week, it's from my dad. And, I'm just warning, he's gonna be perfect, but he was like, I was telling him about a decision I have to make, and he was like, you know, Rach, when I go on a run, if I run by a raspberry bush, I can stop and I can pick the raspberries. It's like, I don't have to keep running. It's my life.

I can choose to stop and enjoy some raspberries and then I can keep running. So, you know, relating to free will a bit. And you can stop and pick the raspberries. You can. People always talk about smelling the roses. I don't really care about the smell of roses that much. But the taste of a raspberry, that I'll stop for. We need reframe not stop and smell the roses stop and pick the raspberry. Yeah

Yeah, exactly. You kind of worked for your prize a little bit You just wake up and our roses around already stop and pick the raspberries. It's your life. Good. That's so funny. That's like I Know how to relate to my daughter So if you see me at your house picking those raspberries in that bush you guys found, you know I'm just contemplating something. I love that. I'm gonna go ahead and follow this up

because my quote is also from Steve Koop, comes this week, we're on the phone with him, and I heard him say, I can't wait to get rid of my bag of maggots. What? That might be a unique sentence, like the first time that sentence has been said in the history of the English language.

Okay. I don't have a lot of details. I don't know. Follow up. Yeah. I don't know. Why does he have a bag of maggots? Attempted explaining and now I can't remember.

I do not know. I don't know why he has a bag of maggots, but he's excited to get rid of them. It's about that time. The quote is, I can't wait to get rid of my bag of time. Shut some maggots. And since he can't wait, there's something that's holding him back from doing it right now Yeah Go do it right now. Oh, I can't do it right now. I got pick raspberries first

Anyway, that's cool. Okay, my core the week. I was trying to figure out exactly what quote from this book I read the book the psychology the psychology of money recently. It was fine. I'm not trying to be like, you gotta read this book. But there was a good, there was a lot of good quotes in it. One of them was just talking about the idea of like enough and like enough is not like just I don't know, whatever, enough is so relative, whatever, there's never enough, whatever. But this quote is, growth is driven by compounding, which always takes time. Destruction is driven by single points of failure, which can happen in and loss of confidence which can happen in an instant i'll read it again thank you

growth is driven by compounding which takes which always takes time growth is always going to take time okay it's compounding destruction is driven by single points of failure which can happen in seconds and loss of confidence which can happen in an instant.

Even when she's like stressed about something, I'm just like laughing along and then she laughs with me. Like, it's like, it just, I just feel like we've been having a lot of fun time. I've just said so many times to her recently like I think you're so funny. You're so funny. Like thanks for being funny Yeah, which is always fun. Yeah, just to have yeah laugh with your spouses.

Love that it's not it's not even a funny story, but I want to know We went and got frozen yogurt and I think maybe jake got like a mall in australia or something Yeah, he got like maybe a sugar-free or like oh, oh it actually tasted like yogurt. It wasn't like america's like Ice cream frozen yogurt. It was like yeah I was like,, you could pull this lever and get cottage cheese if you want. And I thought it was getting cookie dough. Oh, so it was like just like plain yogurt. So it tasted bad to Jake. And I think he had filled up his bowl pretty full. And then he tried a little scoop of it and didn't like it. And so he didn't know what to do with the bowl.

This is not that funny. And just dumped it into the tray under where you pull the lever. Where the drip's going, just dumped it there, and he's like, let's go, let's go. Get out of here, go, we're not gonna like anything here. Get out of here. Yeah, I just spaz, I freaked out.

I don't know why I freaked, but I did. There was no discussion, and was brought here get go get stop Yeah, Rachel's like why would you not just throw it away like why would you make? Like cuz my pile was so huge I see I was like a teenage rascal Well, you're like if you were thinking like, you know Like a like a coke machine and stuff like the fountains like you could just pour it in there Screams like no. No, it'll just like melt down into the bottom. Don't reuse it. Oh my gosh You just start dying laughing immediately oh yeah, I was out of there and now anytime that he's flustered like he just frozen yogurt

It is fun to think about different like times were just died laughing like that It is fun to just think about different like times were just died laughing like that One of Catherine's is watching that video you the exploding ball like she'll oh, yeah, she'll laugh every time She's a laugh listening to this episode Thanks, Kath yeah My baby week is kind of similar so Catherine I've just been I've been goofing with this girl a lot. You know, like she'll suggest the tiniest change in like a schedule or like the timing of something. And I'll walk up and real softly,

I'll get in your ear and I say, I didn't know you were a genius. I'll give her a hug. I'm like, oh, you're a genius. I didn't know. So this one night I'm calling her a genius over and over again, just cause she was like, maybe we leave at 715 and it says 730.

And she follows that up by making cookies for us that night. a genius over and over again just because she was like maybe we leave at 7 15 and says 7 30 and she follows that up by making cookies for us that night oh now most people when the cookies are out on the on the pan you might load them up onto a plate and they might use a spatula yes my baby the week is looking around hey that, that looks like a spatula. Throws the fly swatter underneath and loads up a couple of cookies and afterwards goes, oh, whoops, use the fly swatter. No, you didn't. You didn't accidentally use the fly swatter. Turns out it's my wife.

I need to show you how similar it looks. Is it the fly swatter with the wired ends, like with the circle thing? Sheila Jemma used the fly swatter to unload cookies from the pan. Oh man, Katherine would die. Okay, okay. It's spatula looking for sure.

Yeah, don't touch the end. Well, that smells like cookies. Rachel, this is so flimsy. Yeah, it was a it was a riot by the cookie sheet I just There was like flies on it like some of these old chips off. Yeah, I know we had raisins Anyway, well, this is not working. It's really flimsy Is your spatula the same color no? oh

My god, and that was news one of us did eat that cookie. Oh, yeah, was it me or you you? She didn't tell me she was like I'm not gonna tell you which cookie it was but then I let him pick his two cookies So he chose his fate well Well, it's still your fight Sorry also you just wouldn't have eaten it I would have you would have no No, it was pretty gross No, it was pretty gross.

I totally get it We're talking about just skiing again. Yeah good comment. Shout out Rachel Okay, my comment of the week was a DM to me from Kim

Say to Wasser sadder Wasser and she said Rachel I'm the proud new owner of a joyful Java mug my brother-in-law had to drive from Des Moines to Waverly For work today, so I told him to stop your mom's shop He stopped in for lunch, and then he got a mug for me ha he didn't want to fangirl But thought you might have helped him today. He's a construction worker told me lunch was good But he was thoroughly impressed with the building renovation They do it right and I can't look color and remember him, that was the only mug we sold that day, I think. That is fun, we should get like a Ghost Runners bingo

thing of like, joyful Java mug, Main Street Roaster sticker, you know, all these different things that you can do. Like go take a picture. Gulf Shore Sand. Gulf Shore Sand. Power Collective Workout. Oh, there you go. Yes, exactly, say collective workout. Oh, there you go. Yes, exactly.

Like, yeah. Strafford Buc-E's, you know, yeah, all these different things drive by Michael Jackson. What if do that's just the free space in the middle for a born

born before 20 two thousand seven. Do you know that Rachel thinks she drives by Taylor Swift a lot? See? Yeah. What's so crazy? Anytime Rachel is like, yeah, on the road and there's like a suburban with like tinted windows, she's like, it might be Taylor Swift.

I love that. It could be. It could be if it's like football season. There's a decent chance that you have driven past her. Yeah, that's good. I like that Ghost Writers bingo, though. Yeah. Somebody give a selfie chance that you have driven past her. Yeah, that's good. I like that. Go turn his bingo, though. Yeah. Somebody give a selfie with Janelle Benyel. Some suggestions. Yeah. What else? Yeah. Oh, Cassie's Dairy Queen.

Cassie's Dairy Queen. Yeah. Shout out. So that'd be fun. Yeah. Good Ranchers something. I don't know. Obviously you can order good ranchers, but could you go to Good Ranchers HQ or something like that? Yeah. Make all these different people, yeah, take a picture outside of Cantercock or something like that.

You get it. Good stuff, good stuff. Good blanks, guys, good blanks. Good blanks. Anything else on your guys' hearts or minds or souls? Thinking about nectarines, man. Yeah. It's okay if not.

I'll just say this. Just a quick parenting tip for anybody out there. Feeding your baby his or her bottle while changing them into their pajamas is a life hack. Two at the same time. Two at the same time. Like, yeah. Because a lot of times when you wake up the kid from their nap, if they need a bottle,

or when they know they need a bottle, they're ready for the bottle. And so when you're trying to change them without the bottle, they're crying. Also, it takes time to feed them the bottle. Hey, yeah, more efficient that way. Habit stacking. Exactly.

That's what Henry was saying. Henry goes, habit stacking? Henry's awesome. He's so cute so anyway I said that written down also the equalizer I think I talked about that already but enjoyed it yeah if you're a dude out there just wants to watch like a dude movie or a girl who wants to watch a dude movie maybe I will it's just a fun crank it up and like you know listen to some gunshots go off kind of yeah you know what he's like recently Denzel's just a good guy like yeah also I watched

now you see me you ever see that movie of course I'm a magician future magician what do you think of now you see me dude oh yeah it's just like a I don't think so it's like a easy fun like just like movie you know like don't take it too seriously right and it's a good movie. I thought Shawshank Redemption. It still has Morgan Freeman either way. Good point. Red. I like I watched it. I was like, I can't tell if this movie is fine.

Pretty like pretty awesome or like really bad, like like the the the story. I was like, I don't really truly even get everything happening in this story. Mark Ruffalo. It's also, yeah, so cheesy at times, but it's also just so cool. Like magic, you know, you stole the money from the bank account?

Yeah. That's a crazy magic trick. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter that it's not real. And the cast is awesome. It is a good cast. Great cast. Anyway, I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure

or just a pleasure that I watched it. I think if you go with low expectations. That's a fun movie I and I've seen it before I Catherine I saw it in theaters back at Kinnick I so I remember being like yeah, it's not gonna blow me away, but it was like yes fun innocent little movie I think you ever seen now you see me too Thinking about it. Yeah, how is it? I don't remember if I've seen it or not if I have it's just been once Yeah, that's one. I'm like surely it went downhill from there surely How is it? I don't remember if I've seen it or not if I have it's just been once Yeah That's one i'm like surely it went downhill from there. Surely equalizer two and three just fine though

This week I watched a new documentary on netflix about the poop cruise Okay, do you know about Do you remember when this happened try to guess when it happened? Do you remember the poop cruise? Yeah, I remember exactly what happened. Well, I know I don't remember exactly what happened, but you know the fun fact about no, I really saw your your Michael Jackson's on it. I don't think so Catherine went on the poop cruise ship. I Think this does something there house to post poop cruise. Yeah for the K life conference. That was it. I Didn't know that I had never heard about it until she got back. She's like, yeah, we were on the poop cruise ship.

And I was like, what's that mean? No way. Because at the end of the documentary, they say like, the ship is still up and running. It has changed names from this to this, from the triumph to the, you know, whatever. I remember they were, yeah, like they always do a K life conference in the middle of the year. And a lot of times it's like in this rustic cabin in Colorado or in Branson. And Calvin's like, they're letting, we're going on a cruise this year.

That's why I took the job. It's like, no wonder they got such a great discount. They were allowed to poop cruise. That's so funny she's done that. And of course, her friend and roommate for the trip, Laura Daniel, she was like, I could smell the poop. I just know I could smell. That would be racial.

So I just know, it's still there, it's still lingering. Okay, but yeah, tell me, I haven't smell the poop. I just know I could smell it. That would be racial. So I just know it's still there. It's still lingering. Okay, but yeah, tell me, I haven't watched the documentary. Is this wild? Oh yeah, it's interesting. The wildest thing to me was that it happened in 2013. For some reason I thought this happened three years ago. Really?

I was like, is this COVID? It might've been more recent than COVID. Okay, yeah. Like 2013. Yeah, no, because the cruise trip was like literally right after we got married, January of 2014. So. Wow, they were like the inaugural flight, post literally right after we got married January of 2014. So, wow, they were like the inaugural flight post-poo.

I think they truly were. Yeah, like let's test it out on these. See if it's clean. They'll be forgiving if it's not. Yeah, I mean, on one, at first I went into it thinking like, I mean, are they going to make Caribbean look like the bad guy? What are they supposed to do? They didn't have power.

And then as it gets into it, it's like they kept failing safety checks. They're like, it's fine. They can like sweep it under the rug. Like experts like, hey, you're going to have a serious problem. They're like, well, not today. We don't. What's like the cliff notes of like why it was a problem? Some sort of electrical engine failure to like the highest degree, like everything shut down, there's no recovery.

There's no, you know, the generator even went out. Like everything is on fire. So then why why was the poop how the poop go everywhere? So it took a forever to get tugged they were in the middle of like the Gulf Mexico took forever to get tugged into shore So I mean they were out there seven ten days if people can't hold it and the toilets don't work And so you know there at first they passed out like bags bags of it then you know You got to put the bag somewhere and dang And it was just hot so no one's actually living in their room

everyone's just like out on the balcony like make it looks like a homeless encampment like everyone just like using their sheets to have a little privacy and Okay, sounded like you know Neanderthals did they have some kind of like did they sue them no pun intended? They they talked about that the end this one guy was like I'm gonna Neanderthals did they have some kind of like did they sue them? No pun intended They they talk about that the end this one guy was like I'm gonna get a class action going and that all these people sue Caribbean in Caribbeans like when you decide to go on the cruise they do not guarantee like your safety Oh, like there's something in the in their

Contract that's like we do not agree. I forget the wording but like we don't Agree to give you a functioning vessel. It's like something like that. It's like we do not agree, I forget the wording, but we don't agree to give you a functioning vessel. It's like something like that. It's like we never said it would work. Since then, they've had to change like how they word their contracts where now they have to guarantee your safety. But back then, it was in the contract,

it was in the agreement that like, yeah, once you sign up to go, you sign up, anything can happen. So there was no real repercussion for this? No, not really. I mean, they took a little bit of a a hit that boat is out of commission for a while I was bad they gave everyone a free ship or a free cruise. They gave him 500 bucks so 500 bucks Oh, yeah person you know but nothing like a hundred million dollar class action would have done

$500 is how much would it have been like enough? You know I don't know I? Think it was. Like even if they gave me a lot of money, let's say a lot is $5,000, I'd still then be like, well if it's worth that, then it's probably worth 40. You know? Like I think then I would get a little bit of

on my high horse of like, five grand. You know what? I could sue them way more. I think I do have some PTSD. Yeah. But $500 is certainly too low. And a free cruise. Yeah, I'm sure those people are so excited to get back on a cruise line. Anyway, kind of interesting. I'm so glad that documentary came out this year and not last year because my dad would have never

gone on the cruise then. You think? Yeah. Hey, get a call from Boise, Idaho. End the show with this? End the show. Say we're ending with it. Hey, this is Jake Pacific Crest insurance, I think I use progressive for all my insurance stuff Yes, my agency services your auto policy with them your business auto policy with them. This is real.

Great, thanks. That's pretty hilarious. Ha ha ha, we got him. We got him. That's so funny. Had you ever heard of Pacific Crest before? No. Me neither. I thought that was a scam.

I still wonder. It definitely could be. Yeah, it definitely could be. I mean, what's our business auto policy for Bondi Bulls? Yeah. Okay. I stopped paying it. You think that's what they're calling it about? Could be. Do you have to pay for auto insurance if it doesn't move? They're probably curious what's going on with it. I'll send them a picture. It's like, what's going on with it. I'll send a picture
