How about it? Another day on this earth. Yes, it's a great Monday. It's a great Monday. Jensen, the other day, I called him. He did the classic like, hey, man, I was just calling to say good night to you. And I missed it. So I was like, I'm just going to call him and say good morning. And so he's like, how are the vibes over there? Are you living like he's out of the tomb?

And I was like, that was actually like low key convicted. I don't know if I am. That's great. All right. You're living like he's not in the tomb Yeah, he's alive man. Yeah, fill the blank. Yeah, you live it. You live in like the grass is green Dude that reminds me. I was thinking uh, I don't know if this is gonna be relatable or not which is always fun when you like put yourself out there like that whenever I think about like Let's not even go back that far. Let's just talk about the founding fathers. I was outside in Iowa this week.

How far? Oh, trust me, it goes back further. Okay. Okay. And I'm in Iowa and I see beautiful blue sky and just bright green corn as far as the eye can see. And for some reason, I have a hard time believing that like the founding fathers

like had such vivid colors in their life. Is that relatable? Like or even just like biblical times or like Beethoven. It's like, I don't think he saw grass this green. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't know if it's directly related, but it's like when we see old films, like it's grainy pictures, it's black and white. But then I think I'm like, wow, like once like Babe Ruth highlights, like if you watch Babe Ruth at a baseball, like it's weird for me to think that I if I lived in that time, I would have seen him as clear as I see you now. It just seems. Yeah. Maybe that's adjacent to what you're saying. Yeah, that's a good thought.

I don't know if I've thought that. But now that you kind of voiced it, I'm like, I bet Babe Ruth grass wasn't as green as our grass. Yeah, I figured out some ways of like doing grass better. And that would be interesting. Like if Moses cracked open a watermelon, I mean, is it a juicy, like bright red watermelon? No, it's sepia. No, it's it's it's sepia tone.

They thought they're eating every fruit was an orange and tons of seeds in that. But the Pharaoh being decked out in robes, I bet them things were colorful. Yeah, good point. Joseph's Coles not like talking about. out in robes I bet them things were colorful. Yeah, good point. Good point. The jewels. What am I talking about? Jewels and gems. Yeah. So, I don't know.

Sorry. So relatable or not? Relatable. Alright. 3, 2, 1. Uh oh, ooh I, 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 because it's a ghost Hey Scott's here hey guys here no he's all heard him, but it's got here this week present Good and good about it. It's gonna be good episode. Yeah, we got a special guest for you guys in the Wednesday episode Yeah, we recorded backwards. It's kind of funny. So this is like yeah, we already did a second recording But it's the first ones coming out to you I almost made an inside joke about Iowa when you said I was in Iowa, but I was like well They haven't heard that yeah, they said corn fairy. Yeah That is the one down No, I'm excited for wins for people to hear Wednesday episode. We had a lot of fun. It is fun

Yeah, are we gonna tell them or we saw that? Let's just say you're gonna like that Episode without saying too much it'll come out on Wednesday. What if we just like try to like Hit that it's something completely different. Let's just say I Don't know like make it sound like it's Patrick Mahomes. Let's just say He hit my home run He hit my home run Right let's just say this is going to trump every interview

That's good, that's good Can't they mean better than that how's everyone's fourth of July? I had a good fourth of July. What about you? I had a good fourth July. What's got excellent dang? He topped us all right Scott you get to go for it Good good excellent my fourth of July kicked off flying home from Fort Lauderdale. Yeah With a family of four in only three seats and 16 month old so that was the highlight on numbers there On a 737 flight 1683 We're flying home from Dance Nationals on July 4th morning Banks is 16 months old now, and he didn't sleep a wink. Seems like a fun age to fly It was a really fun age to fly. He sat quietly the whole time didn't move

That was very pleasant to the flight attendants. Yeah, yeah, yeah but no that was I'm glad to not have to fly with him again for a reasonable amount of okay so walk us through the playbook like tell us where everyone was. Also, his banks still in the 99th percentile of a head side everything everything them cheeks are plump Yeah, very plump cheeks. Yeah, so the whole week down in Florida. He his favorite word is hi He just highs everybody to death. Okay, then we were of a Colorado thing So we were on the 30th floor of our hotel and so long elevator rides lots of lots of stops and just everybody that got on He's just hi Hi, and everyone thinks it's the coolest thing like oh my gosh this kid saying hi to me Yeah, and and he's realized that like if you say that to somebody they're gonna be fascinated. He gets a good response

Oh, yeah, he just eats it up But anyways so the flight out there we had the fortune of us of an open middle seat between Sam and I okay Palmer was sitting with a couple other friends flying down there. Oh, yeah, that makes it I was like you didn't just put Paul no Palmer was just right. Oh, there's some strangers over there No, we had we had I mean they like shouted out the dance crew Like the flight attendants like we got Priscilla Dana's dance studio going down for dance nation everybody your round of applause Did you go nuts were you like? Danis dance studio going down for dance. Nash, everybody give a round of applause. The whole cast of line. Did you go nuts?

Were you like, wow, I think I did give a little. What? Yeah, a little bit of excitement there. But yeah, she was sitting with a couple of friends. We had my mother-in-law father-in-law. Wow. Yeah, we had a whole I mean, there's a lot of people. But Sam and I had an open middle seat. We thought he might doze off.

Nope. Didn't on the way down. Uh, but he had room to roam and he was, you know, looking at, there's a really cute picture. I'll show you guys of him. The girls behind us took a picture of him sticking his face in between the seats and just like his cheeks are kind of smart of his face. Um, and so on the way back, we had Palmer in the window seat Sam in the middle seat me in the aisle banks Bouncing all over the place between Sam and I so it was kind of a battle to just keep him entered because like he's not Interested in screens, so you can't entertain him with screens. He doesn't want to sit still there's no place for him to move Sudoku me He doesn't want a nap so logic puzzles, okay though Henry's doing so like Henry and banks are kind of the same age Henry doesn't say words yet, but he is doing so

so That is a free So he just taps it three times. Yeah, but no banks was I mean all things considered he was fine I just we would have loved for him to sleep for any portion of a three-hour flight But he did not and then we landed in Kansas City We're taxing to our gate and then he lays on Sam and starts closing his eyes. Oh, yeah I was like that's classic. So were you passing back and forth or was it like no, this is Sam Sam's gonna hold banks No, he was bang bang bang bang. Yeah, we're back bang bang

You're like like yeah, all bets are off for traveling like that It's just like do whatever it takes to survive I would just I would figure out a food that takes him a long time to eat and just keep passing it to him jumbo tootsie roll Those take a while jumbo tootsie rolls are good if they're like orange flavored like, you know The orange ones are good people love the flavored tootsie roll every Halloween Those are the immediate throwaways yeah, it's like you're going through your candy orange tootsie rolls

Good and plenty Yeah, dude now and let now and laters was that what this called those like yeah, those were Those are sustainable you say oh no those were like the fruit ones I'm thinking of something else that was like that, but not good and plenty's I think were black licorice right yeah They were like nasty yeah, I tried black. We're really bouncing all over the place You know you think sometimes you you acquire a taste. I was like I haven't had black licorice in like ten years Maybe I can stand it now Open the bag smelt it and I was like nope you don't even now. Open the bag, smelt it, and I was like, nope.

You don't even need to try it. Gross. Just smelt it. I don't mind it. I don't ever like. Black licorice? Yeah, I'll eat it. Dude, that is objectively disgusting.

You really, it's like, it's like not even, so how I talked about the phrase sugar cookies on this podcast. No, I've started using it with Catherine. Of like, that's a sugar cookie for me. In other words, like sugar cookies in my opinion, what's it called, crumble excluded. Crumble sugar cookies are obviously top notch.

But most of the time, if it's just a plain unfrosted sugar cookie, I don't really get excited about that. But of course, if someone's like, hey, either you get tortured or you eat a sugar cookie, it's like, okay, yeah, of course. And so there's a lot of things, sometimes I'll say that about a meal that Catherine makes, like, hey, I'm thinking about making this, would you like that? I'm like, eh, it's a lot of things like sometimes I'll say that about a meal that Katherine makes like hey

I'm thinking about making this would you like that? I'm like, yeah, it's a sugar cookie for me. Like of course. I'll eat I'm never gonna complain like thank you for making this food, but it's not my favorite thing black licorice is like that to me Like yeah, I'll eat it But not I'll never choose it if it was like eat black licorice or die It's been a good ride. Did you come back a national champion? My daughter did come home. Yeah, they had her large

group tap routine, won the best dance in that age group. So competed again. I think there was like nine or ten studios at this competition, one from Australia. Wow. Which was wild. Like that's about as far away from Austria as Florida.

I don't even know how many hours that is. But yeah, they did great. She did great. She did seven dances and it still just baffles me every time that I that she can get up there and go from dance to dance and not like mix them up at all. It's crazy. Was she nervous? No, I don't think so. Yeah, it was like she'd done it so much. And that's maybe a little bit of jitters, but I think she handled it great. What I mean, is there a better city to do dance nationals than Fort Lauderdale, Florida? Like, as far as like a punch line goes, like Fort Lauderdale, Florida is right. We were just down in Fort Lauderdale,

dance nationals. You know, it's like there's certain cities that are like, we would love for you to come here and do ladies Yes, Fort Lauderdale seems like one of those spots. They don't a beach last year. Oh wow really yeah, they don't a beach is a dump Oh really it is not nice. Okay. Yeah, I've been there once for a comedy show, and I was surprised how not nice It was really started those who live there. Yeah there one night. I was I had found this food truck It was good little cookie truck I needed a little sweet little something. And I went on this drive was probably 10 or 15 minute drive kind of down this main

road that goes along kind of the strip of Daytona Beach, if you will. Like and I just kept driving thinking maybe I'll eventually hit the nice part of Daytona Beach. I drove for 15 minutes and never came across the nice part of Daytona Beach. Yeah, not not nice. I always tell people my favorite vacation as a kid was Daytona Beach. Really? We stayed at this like very normal hotel.

It was like a days in or something, but it had a pool and it was right on the beach. And it was awesome. Like that's, and there was a 7-Eleven across the street. So now that I'm saying it all out loud, sounds like it was kind of a sketchy spot, but like it was as a kid, it was like, we can go get Slurpees and we can go swimming

and go to the beach. This is awesome. Perfect. We went to Pirates Cove. You don't need much as a kid. You know, it's, as an adult you realize other things. I know man. I miss the innocence. Brad, how was your 4th of July? It was good.

How was your 4th of July? Mine was good. Mine was great. All right. Go ahead. I was in Texas. I went to Texas for like a week, which was so good. Always good to be down there.

And I think last episode of the podcast, I talked about how I'd showered twice in that day already. Shower twice today. The whole time I was in Texas. Guess how many times I showered five times once in seven. That's disgusting. Yeah, but we swam. They have a pool. Yeah.

And so I just like what do you think of that? Is it like totally fine? Yeah, not even a question. As I agree with Jake you you think I'm a shower after swim Why I just like I just feel a little sticky with like pool water Maybe like when I go swim at my mother-in-law's house in our neighborhood. It's I got a shower when I get home I don't like the smell of Pool mm-hmm. I just feel a little sticky. Yeah. So I just do a little. I mean, like I was working out like in the morning, like I was doing manual

labor around the, you know, around the property and I just, you know, go to the pool. Hop in the pool. Oh, so much. I love a pool, dude. I love a I mowed the lawn last night and then jumped in the pool. Oh, it's way better to go. Moe pool shower than just Moe shower. Yes. 100 percent. Everything's better with the pool. Oh, it's way better to go mo pool shower than just mo shower. Yes, 100%. Everything's better with a pool. Yeah. Think of anything that would be worse with a pool.

We're going to torture you waterboarding. Okay, I guess. But worse or just like Boy Scout merit badge. Yeah, we had a lot of fun the pool that we played a few different games These are free for anybody that wants free ideas one of them is called see ya okay the musician These are all just Just off the dome just kind of accidental games see ya involves bow Standing in the middle of the deep end or like floating in the middle of deep end and I'm on one side of You know like the short side of the pool

I'm going from one side of the pool the other and I just go see ya and then I go underwater and I shoot Past him and if he grabs me or he's he's called it hits the ride at all And he gets a point, but if I get around them if I get around him I get a point we played a 10 This is great It's a great game And then had Ian Bo played against me and that was even more like I was all of a sudden like Contorting myself in the water like a doing the matrix. Yeah, it was I did But if you don't say see ya before you do it you lose a point you have to remember

Yeah, what other thing lost me that's so fun. I think that's the main thing Yeah but we'll just make up things every once in a while. They just lose points like ah you didn't You you didn't wait long enough before you said see ya so you lost a point you haven't shared at this trip lost a point And then the other main really fun one that had he loved was just there was a hula hoop They had like a ring and we just I I made up 30 different challenges with this ring. Like from everything from like jumping in to like jumping in but don't touch the ring to put the ring under water

and you have to like jump in in one breath and then swim through the ring. That's fun. There was one time I was pretty proud of this one. They didn't love it as much. It was jump in to like the inner tube that's on top of the ring and then I throw you a Squirt gun and you have to catch the squirt gun and then shoot

Over this cup that's over on the side of the pool in less than 10 seconds a lot of things Yeah, I thought it was a great idea and they were like, I don't want to do that level again I was like that was most fun one. Yeah So we did one called a ring of fire where where they had to jump through it, whatever. There was one, yeah, moving rings. It was really fun, because it was also cool to see, Hattie was always like, what level is next, dad? What level is next?

She always wanted me to think of the levels. And then Bo kind of got into it at the end of the trip, and he was way more like, okay, for this level, we're doing this. Oh, that's cool. And so it was kind of a cool thing to see the difference in personality of like okay. Hattie is not quite as like Imaginative with that stuff whereas Bo is just like I'll make it up myself like that is cool Anyway, but he's had a blast with the pool and Palmer's favorite pool game is climb on my neck until I get a muscle spasm That's why we play see ya that was honestly I think part of like I was like, like Bo was like swimming

towards me. I was like, SIA, and he tried to like latch onto me. And so that became the game. That is great. Yeah. Why don't we play a game where you're over there and I'm over here? Let's see. Yeah. When you were talking about like making up dad games that require zero movement, I was like, totally resonate with that. It's like you don't play this game that requires me to not move and you just do whatever you want?

It's like, that's great, I'll do it. We're gonna play a game called Dad's Asleep. And you come back in 15 minutes and try and see if I'm asleep. And you rub my foot. I did say, whenever it was like, okay, I'm getting a little bit worn down, I would then be like, hey, Rosie,

do you wanna go Chipotle? And we would go to this little swim up step that they have in their pool and we'd be like, okay, welcome to do you want to go to poli? And we would go to like this little like swim up like step that they have in their pool. And we'd be like, OK, welcome to poli. What would you like? And, you know, Rosie's ordering everything that's probably doesn't have ice cream, french fries, all the pop. You know, I'm like, how? You know, whatever. So whatever guacamole. I was like, OK, we have that anyway.

So then we went to McClain's, went to Panera, all these different spots with Rosie. So, um, anyway, it was a blast. Anyway, so and then we went to McClain's went to Panera all these different spots with Rosie so Anyway And so she'll be like we go a pope. Hey, hey, can we go mountain when she comes Thanks for transitioning over to mine. Two very different songs. She'll be ordering American meat now when she comes. She'll be ordering American meat delivered when she comes. Chicken pork or wagyu beef or chicken nuggets or seed oil free pork

I wonder if on your 4th of July, you were sitting there at the at the barbecue, literally at the grill, like you call it the barbecue, and you thought, I would love to cook something, but you know what I don't have? Wagyu beef. The becquaility meat. Hot dogs, bacon, chicken wing.

Dinner served. That's right. It's American meat delivery. It's the actual slow-goon. That's right. Honey and pop, they fireworks people? In the past, we have been. I think I told you about this. I was like, we've always gone in on a large display together,

and it's always been like a decent amount of money I want to say like 250 300 bucks a person, you know, so we're probably person. I bet we're spending I Don't know over a thousand dollars like between the different families and to be fair it's like a pretty decent show because Catherine lives on her parents live on like 10 acres and whatever, but like Every year Hattie has been freaked out of the fireworks. And so I'm just like, like holding her inside. Not watching, not yeah.

She's just crying. She's finally gotten over that to an extent. Bo loves him, everything about him. Anyway, but I'll just say this year, I was thinking like to myself, I was like, I gotta fork over some money again this year. Cause you don't wanna be the guy that's like, eh, I'm good. Can we do you don't want to be the guy. It's like I'm good Can we do 100 because if they say yeah, that's fine. Let's not do it. Then you just feel like the jerk

That's like the fun sucker. You're the guy who canceled Independence Day, but also if you're like I don't want to spend money, then you're just the cheapskate. Yeah, so anyway I was just like I'm just gonna do it and the fireworks are fun. Catherine loves fireworks. I like fireworks fine I'll just say sure somebody else had the idea this year of like, I don't want to spend the money on fireworks. And I was like, okay, cool. You're like overdoing it. You're like, oh, that stinks

because I would have paid twice as much. Wow, yeah, I'll just take your money. I mean, I'll take your cut. I mean. I've been saving up since the last 4th of July. But it's Texas. So it's like all her neighbors were like, shooting up so many.

Dude, actually a great moment. Sorry, and then we can talk about you stuff. But like, Texas. So it's like all her neighbors were like sure. So many did it. Actually a great moment. Sorry. And then we can talk about you stuff. But we were in the front yard looking at their across street neighbors shooting off stuff. And then I was like, hey, Bo, let's go. Bo really want to do a night swim.

Like he was staying up way later and he usually stays up. Whatever. He's in a good mood. I was like, let's go to the backyard. See if we see more fireworks out there. Maybe we can do a night swim. So we go back there. It's just that just me and Bo look at all these fireworks everywhere. I was like, let's go to the backyard, see if we see more fireworks out there. Maybe we can do a night swim. So we go back there. It's just that just me and Bo look at all these fireworks everywhere. I was like, that's cool. Actually, but I gotta go. I gotta go

potty real quick, you know? And so I like start going to the bathroom in the backyard, basically, you know, whatever. And then Bo goes, I gotta go too. And so just the two of us just stand there, like, you know, just go and pee just watching fireworks wow it was awesome. It was like this Yeah, it was it was such a good time saying we're living like he's out of the tomb Bo has just like in the last couple weeks started doing like the normal Like not pull his pants all the way down to his ankles when he goes So it really did feel like it was like, me and my boy here, just watching the fireworks.

Little too much, you know, hydration. So anyway, it was a great time. Dude, that's so great. Yeah. Fireworks just reminded me and all the neighbors shooting them off. We've got some neighbors who, I mean, they love 4th of July, but they love July 10th too,

because they were shooting them off this morning. Yeah. In the 80s too. Where are they getting this arsenal of fireworks? I don't know, dude. Are they making them? Surely the fireworks stands have massive discounts after the fourth of July. So it's probably people running by and getting 75 percent off fireworks.

Yeah, good point. I just or maybe they just stashed them up. But I'm like, I I don't want to be that guy, but I am absolutely frustrated when I hear them too much before or too much after. Like it bothers me. Does it bother you? Well, I think if I had like sleeping kids

during those hours, that's like a very good reason to be frustrated. I think when I hear it, I'm more just like, what are you doing? What are you doing? It's daylight. Stop, you're burning your money. Well, a lot of times they're like those huge like in made you like like yeah

I know which house that is but they are Patriots when Palmer was young July 4th quickly became my least favorite holiday because we lived in Basar and oh, yeah, they're People of the land. Yes And it was like every in our neighborhood was somebody different every day for the week leading up to 4th of July It was just sending it at like 10 o'clock at night and Palmer was terrified couldn't sleep and And yeah, I was like this is so ridiculous Like just do it on the 4th of July get it all out of your system You don't need to do this every single day before the 4th of July. Yeah, I yeah

I know it's like sleep downstairs I guess cuz because they're going to be able to hear it no matter how loud your sound machine is. Gosh. So anyway, yeah, that's a good point, though, of like, these neighbors are just shooting them up. And to an extent now it's like, whatever, I don't care. But like at night or like when they're sleeping or something, it's more frustrating. I went out today to check the rain gauge and I saw that a bottle rocket was leaning up against my house. So I and I saw that a bottle rocket was leaning up against my house.

So I guess at some point a bottle rocket hit the side of my house. Which that's not a huge deal, they're light, whatever, but still it's like, why were they being shot there? In July 9th. Are bottle rockets legal? Is that one of them that's like? I don't think so.

You're gonna wanna talk to Derek about that. He's very up to date on the legality of this stuff. He's like do you excited for Iowa? They finally legalized that I like dude. I know idea He would laws about fireworks in different states Well Shawnee just like got legal like to shoot off fireworks. I think last year or two years ago. It's pretty new Has that ever really stopped anyone though? I think in Olathe It wasn't super like growing up you feel like they were shooting off a lot There is enough fireworks in neighborhoods going off when we were kids, but compared to baser not even close to baser Yeah, baser was like yeah, 1776

That's when they shot off a bunch of one other thing on fireworks so like how Electric is a finale of a good fireworks show. Yeah. That needs to be a schmores answer. I don't know what the topic is. But the answer is the finale of a fire. Things that make you want to run through a wall. Yeah. Because like Platte City has a decent little fireworks show every year. It's like 15 minutes long. But I felt like the finale was significantly shorter this year. But it was

great because they just I mean, you see the little glows of it, and you just see them, and it's like. Yes. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Maybe it's even more specifically like the three seconds before the finale. The anticipation of like, when you just hear it. Yeah, when you see them all go.

Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo. Dude, I'm getting fired up thinking about it. Before they explode and you see eight go off at once. A million of them go up, yeah. Yeah, like, oh, you're nudging. I think this is the finale. Yep, yep, yep. That's fun, that's America. That's one of those memes, And you see eight That's fun, that's America that's one of those memes it's like the European mind cannot comprehend It's so in this one only last it was like a 10 second finale whoa really short I mean it was like that's what they might have shot off 60 fireworks in that 10 seconds you got I was like

I wish you would have given me like 30 seconds and you got to get enough time to like start clapping like yeah And then it's over and there's one more One of the big like weeping willow ones or whatever and that's when the yeah it goes out What is your favorite firework good question? I like the cracklers. Oh Those are fun. I don't know if that's my favorite. I think maybe I'm just classic, just like explode, big pop. I like the ones that don't even have the like, what are they called?

The reports, I think might be a firework. I worked in a tent. Did you? Yeah, I did. I worked in a tent. I ran it. I worked my way up to tent manager by my last year. You dog.

Yep. 12 hour shifts, 10 to 10. You get paid. Yeah. Good. At the time, I thought I was a king. Seven twenty five an hour. I think it was like ten bucks an hour, 120 bucks a day.

And they get they made so much money off you. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. But you don't even think that way then, or at least you're built like me anyway. The ones that just you feel in your chest, it's just like a big bang. It's like these are the ones that were like made

to replicate cannons in the Revolutionary War. I like the feeling of the chest. So I have two, I love the ones that like look like they're coming out at you. Oh, good answer. And then like drizzle down. Yes, good answer. I love the drizzlers.

Yeah, but then the same one. There's Batman, Robin, and I think the drizzler in the Jim Carrey version. you ever had a black drizzler tried Pull and peel yeah last one was steak juice now. It's black drizzler is Sorry sorry we jumped forward in time. But the ones you just mentioned are my other favorite and the best fireworks show. It's a world renowned fireworks show.

Saw it on Madeira. Oh, my. They do a New Year's Eve fireworks show, which is the coolest thing. Probably like not even just top like five fireworks shows I've ever seen. Probably top five coolest things I've ever seen them. I really because like you were there You know how like fun shawl is kind of in like a half bowl like You know, I like the food shot But they set up like several different stations throughout the entire city and they're all synchronized

And so it's like an entire citywide and they're all synchronized. And so it's like an entire city wide fireworks show. And we watched it from a super high viewpoint. And the finale of the show was every one of those stations just rapid firing those go, go, go, go, go, go. And I mean, like, if you look it up on YouTube, like search Madeira, Madeira, YouTube New Year's Eve fireworks show, it is insane. Really? Yeah. And like it was the whole and it's like it's a half bowl against the ocean. So it just like echoes like crazy. And so the whole city shooting off those like cannonballs and it just like makes your intestines like jiggle.

I have seen videos. Same. I don't know if it's there Italy or wherever, but it's like people are out on the water. Maybe San Diego even does something crazy like that. But like yeah, everyone's out on the ocean like watching it was cool So like there was probably eight cruise ships that pulled in with the harbor and then you just see them all turn around and leave I've seen a YouTube video one time of some like the biggest firework ever made it's like I think is Japanese or Chinese and like one ball goes up and it makes a Just a cornucopia of fireworks. It's like hard to imagine like I don't know how big the mortar was but I mean the size of a small home Maybe the Oppenheimer fireworks. Yeah Bonus answer honorable mention. I like the ones that they go up they explode and in those balls explode again Yeah, like a double-burst. I do that. I don't know. How do you make a firework? Yeah How do you have different colors or designs? How do you have that thought every fireworks show? Like how do you make it do different things?

Do did you see the footage of I think was in California that fireworks got on fire I saw I was a house that I saw it wasn't a factory. It was like a massive factory and it probably look cool a massive factory and it probably look cool obviously let me purpose it anybody got killed or anything that's terrible yeah but my gosh talk about a finale because it was an entire warehouse yeah it's like on fire then oh it was wild it's a finale for that person's life, unfortunately. Yeah, exactly. So, how was your Fourth of July? Oh, it was good.

Went up to Iowa, got to see Joyful Joff in action, and I'll tell you, there's nothing better than being there with Steve Koop also around. I mean, it's just like, it's so fun. I mean, every single person knows him, and not just like, oh, the adults, but it's like, the kids know fun. I mean, every single person knows him. And not just like, oh, the adults, but it's like the kids know him because he just taught them, like, he knows everybody.

And everyone in the county is also making their way there, like their pilgrimage. It was like an 18th century, like trading post. It was like, well, everyone has to come here and they get their mail here and they trade their goods and they get their leather and this is what they do. And they trade their hides. It's just like, everyone is just making their way in.

So it's just really fun to be at a place like that. And yeah, Angie's doing a good job. And is Steve walking around like chatting people up? Is he busing tables? Yeah, I mean, he's kind of just like there to take the trash out, but like constantly getting stopped and meeting old people and old friends and it's just fun. And so we were there, you know, I'm not saying getting stopped and meeting old people and old friends and it's just fun.

So we were there, I think I was there Thursday and Sunday, Saturday while they were open, Friday was the fourth they took off, and then Sunday we were gonna all hang out and be whatever together, Joyful Job was gonna be closed, but Rachel's cousin is getting married, and so Steve Koop actually had the idea, he was like, hey, Lexi's gonna be in town, why don't we throw her a bridal shower?ubek, she had the idea, he was like, hey, Lexi's gonna be in town, why don't we throw her like a bridal shower?

And everyone's like, great idea, but you are not allowed to play on a bridal shower. So he's like, all right, so then Rachel does it all. So anyway, we do it in Drill for Java and I say all that to say like, you know, it was just very nice, I feel like Evangie and Steve like open it up and you know, they're serving all these drinks

and they're paying for everything and on top of that, now we gotta like clean everything, okay? So multiple times people are coming in, hey, you guys open? No, no, sorry, it's bridal shower. People are finally gone, it's been a few hours, and Steve has just cleaned the bathroom, and I have been mopping.

So I mop the whole place, it's so clean, and then someone walks in and they're like, hey, are you guys open? We're like, no, it's a bridal shower. And then Steve's like, well, I mean, what do you want? Or I think the guy even says like I'm just looking for a pastry. So Steve Cooper's like, oh pastry. Come on You know, we'll get you one or whatever take it to go. Yeah, and so he's picking out a pastry He's like, you know what he talks to his wife. He's like you you pick out a pastry for me

Hey, you guys got a bathroom. It's like he baited switched us Oh, I knew it was never about the pastry and so he goes back there and we don't see him for a while And then we're like this guy and yeah, Steve just cleaned the bathroom We just mopped everything and he's back there for so long That we forgot he's back there. We had started talking about them Oh, you know and they couldn't hear us or anything, but then all of a sudden he comes out like, oh my gosh, he's still here. He's in there for like 20 minutes.

And so then he comes out and he's like, yeah, I'm doing this. I mean, he was kind of cool. He's a nice guy, but he's like, I'm doing some sort of a cancer walk. I'm walking all these miles. I walked 13 miles today and the whole time, my stomach just gave me fits.

I'm like, I gotta get to a bathroom. What did he just do in here? and it was just it was so bad Is this so it we're like all right well? Thanks for coming in Steve immediately goes to the bathroom like look at it I guess It does not smell good Came back like it was news he wasn't lying Smells weird yeah, it's just yeah. Yeah, yeah, it does so He came back like it was news. He wasn't lying. I'll tell you. Oh my gosh. Bathroom smells weird.

Yeah, it's just. Yeah. Yeah, it does. So we remopped, re-cleaned the bathroom, but yeah, credit to that guy. I was looking for a pastry. Meanwhile, he's fighting demons. And it's like, I need this bathroom. So in the end, it's probably good that we open it up for him.

I don't know what would happen to him. Chainsaw museum was closed at that point. Oh, I thought closed at that point. Yeah. Oh, I'm glad you brought that up. The first day we were there, Thursday, this girl comes up to us and she's like, I'm a ghostie. And we're like, oh my gosh, what are the odds?

And we were in the back, and so I was surprised she even found us. And we're like, so glad you're here. She's like, I actually couldn't find it on the Apple Maps, but I remember from Rachel's Instagram story that it was across the street from a chainsaw museum, and that's how I got here. That's amazing. Shut up, Brandy. She was like so cool and just so normal and awesome. Yeah. Like the Google business profile is not up

to date yet, but chainsaw museum is right there. So dude, we're all so curious about this chainsaw museum. They're adding on. We've never seen anyone walk into there and they are adding on to it. What's going on there? And do we need to start our own? Yeah. Is it just popping for a reason here? I feel like there's at least got to be a signature drink like named after the chainsaw museum, like some saw running in the saute. Texas Chainsaw Moccasin. Moccasin is good.

But in chainsaw, what other things happen with a chainsaw yeah mixed gas so mix half diesel half espresso caught the chainsaw engine yeah like half calf yeah but yeah it was really fun we golfed we golfed we uh, on the 4th of july We went out and just did home run derby Oh, I don't know if you saw my instagram story rachel hit a couple home runs dingers dings. Yeah, I got up there And i've actually thought about this a lot since then i've been this bad at something in a long time Oh, really? I don't know. I don't know if it's the table. I don't know if it's the oh my compression sleeve Yeah, was it on it was on dang. that's a bad look. I swung in this

You swung and missed several times. Oh, it was short bat. Was it the yellow skinny? I'll try it so yellow skinny bat. This is this is a real baseball's real bats Oh, this is what I spent most of my life playing. This is the sport. I was best at who's pitching Steve Coop He's throwing great. No, he wasn't Standing behind like a pitchers net or he was like face it I won't say credit to him because he was pitching from like 75 feet away, you know I think he didn't have a glove so he's like I'm gonna you know But anyway, yeah pretty much everyone hit a home run and I was the only one who struck out during Not ever I did not hit our distance fences. Are we talking or?

Like 200 yeah, yeah, like a little like fence how close did you kill? I had a foul ball that was over the fence you pulled it. It's just behind me. Oh He's got over Just got a piece oh, no to count I was choking up Well, yeah, it was funny. It was like it didn't matter at the time. Whatever. Some was in your. Well, some was out. Did you have sunglasses? I sunscreen slippery.

See? Yeah. Did you know you have bad gloves? No. See, I didn't grow up peeing on my hands. Vlad Guerrero. So no. Yeah.

This is the guy that got to replace me back in the day. This guy that come up on Sunday. You can see we didn't win very many tournaments. Yeah, we did not. But yeah, it was a funny thing. Like laying in bed that night. I was like, why was it so bad at baseball today? Like trying to like diagnose it. Were you swinging too hard? I don't know. I was under it. Why am I under it?

Was it because I was trying to hit home runs? I don't know. You know, who could have helped that? Michael, that baseball guy. Oh, your coach. Yeah, they don't know that either. They don't get it. My coach. Anyway, great fourth that either. They don't get it. My coach. Anyway, it's great fourth of July. That's good. It was awesome. I also I didn't go golfing, golfing, but I my father-in-law's huge golfer,

but had a big heart surgery. And so he wasn't cleared to fully golf yet. But he's like, I could chip and put and he's like a member at his country club. And so we went to it and we just chipped and putted for like an hour and a half. It was awesome. That's great. That's great. Love a chip and putt.

You did that because you're on record saying putting is so easy. So easy. So is it even fun? We just make every putt. Yeah, because it's in front of my father. Yeah, we did. Yeah, it was great. Like putting green, you know, has six holes or whatever. And he's just like, all right, we're having a competition. You know, yeah, he beat me six to one. He just what me like I love when there has six holes or whatever. And he's just like, all right, we're having a competition. You know, he beat me six to one.

They just what me like. I love when there's enough holes on there. It's like, which one even for us? I'll tell you after I hit it. There was one time I was like, you weren't even close. And then I saw he was going to another one. I was like, oh, he's pretty. Also, I'm sure the doctors know why they're saying

what they're saying, but it is funny to think about like, you're not cleared to hit a seven iron, but you can. Like a sandwich. He's not, he wasn't cleared to lift his arms above his head. Oh, it was so he got some like wires or something connecting in his heart. And so they're trying to make sure that they like solidify around the heart. Your arms down and everything and stay compact. He also is not supposed to use power tools that have a certain kind of battery

too close to his heart or something like that. And so there was one point where I was like, I think I should probably use that drill for you, Gary. He was trying to do something. But you have any lithium batteries? He's a big like work guy. He just likes being a doer. And so I think it was hard for him to not keep his arms down. Yeah. But he's a good golfer, dude. He was teaching me some things. That's great. Tempo. I like just simple things. Like just he's he's a good golfer dude. He he was teaching me some things. That's great tempo Like just simple things like just like he's like you're going back too slow I think is what he was saying and then you're going forward too fat whatever like just do the same speed or whatever You still double gloving it. No, I only did that because I have blisters

I want to get a few blister. Yeah I'm all calloused up, baby. Yeah, he's a hardened golfer. Yes, anyway, I Kind of obsessed with this. It's a really mediocre life update, but I decided to go to Texas With very minimal packing like I was like this way you didn't shower maybe Change I was twice. I was like no I was like, no, I was like, because so often where you go, they have washer dryer. So I'm like, I'm just going to I really like this like small cool leather bag I have. But if we're going for a week, I can't pack in that thing.

So I'm like, I'm going to pack only this amount of shirts. I don't care. Like, because every time I pack at least I'm always like, okay, I'm only going to pack light. And then so I was like, I should probably throw in another shirt. What's in a shirt going to I'm going to work out. And so I was like I should probably throw another shirt What's it a shirt gonna? I'm gonna work out and I should do this I need to do that But I just I stayed true to like I think I had four shirts for three shorts maybe and then two pairs of swim trunks and then you know, whatever, you know socks and underwear and whatever and

It was awesome. I I'm all about it I made a big overpacker. And so like when we went to Florida, we I mean, we have all Palmer's dance costumes, Palmer's other clothes, Sam's clothes, Banks clothes. So I was forced to pack a little bit lighter. And so I packed light enough to where I was like, OK, I'll do a load of laundry midweek because we're there for seven days. We're there for a full week.

And our last hotel in Daytona Beach had on-site laundry It was like a dollar fifty to go do a load and then I figured out at this hotel It's like a courier service. So like you put it in a bag you fill out a slip of how much What do you want to wash and then send it off look quiz for you guys? It's per item. Yeah, I'm just gonna throw out two items. Your dog price a pair Yeah, a pair of how much does it cost to send a pair of shorts to be washed? What was the name of your hotel the diplomat Beach Resort? Oh, it was pretty low. It was pretty nice I know you said you're on the 30th floor. Yeah, it was pretty nice

It was it was attached to the convention center where they were doing the competition. Okay Yeah pair of socks and a pair of shorts. That's it. No just like per per item. They have a price So what was the question already? What was the cost per pair of socks when I've looked into this at hotels before? I'm always shocked how much it is. I mean our honeymoon is Unbelievable. I got her. That's I was like I've heard of this before the price should be wait So she's not a camera on me for a minute there. So that's a great point Why would I be wait, you know, like you have 16 socks or you have one heavy pair of blue jeans they should be similar yeah Anyway, okay pair of socks

$3 no, I think it's gonna be crazy. I think it's gonna be five which is so dumb. I hope it's 65 cents and then a pair of shorts six dollars It's sixty five cents and then a pair of shorts $6 uh It doesn't sound like much, but that would add up. Yeah, I know okay. You're right $8 It was $6 for a pair of socks all right unbelievable and 12 for shorts I'm believe that adds like just to do a couple outfits. I was like we're looking at 70 80 bucks That's crazy, and so I was like, I guess I'm going to have to figure this out. So I did

bring, I mean, it was just, it's just shorts and t-shirts. So I was able to scramble and make it work. But I was like, I can't believe. Okay. You're trying to, it's like barely cheaper than buying. That's why I know like you can buy socks for way cheaper. Would you, would you ever consider with your shorts, just, you know, taking a dip in the pool and then drying them off? Yeah. I would come up with on my own. Yeah, I might do that Yeah, cuz there are a few times where like I went and worked out or something and then Instead of getting my swimming trunks on I just got I just went in my shorts and then I was like I think those shorts are All right to wear again Cori's chemicals in the water. Yeah, I'm decently powerful genuinely. Yeah, my bad. So there you go. Hey, it's it's 11 o'clock at night

Oh Sprinkle I'm in the pool. I would love that. Buying watermelon for its juice is also not necessarily a life hack, but like something that I discovered recently. What do you mean?

Like just mashing up the watermelon and turning it like straining it and turning it into like literal fresh watermelon juice. And then like I mix that in with like a lime Bellevue Aldi LaCroix. That sounds nice.

And yeah, dude, I mean, it it makes for a bomb, like summer refreshing. Yeah. Just like fresh watermelon juice.

So what did it show? Did it show up as giant thumb? That was all of it was in your email. Giant thumb. Jake had to scroll. So did it look like a text like.

Like, like, in other words, like, they look like it was a reaction to that email or did it look like it was its own standalone thumb? So it looked like I just emoji thumbed. Yeah i didn't though i gmail thumbed oh cool my back gmail's so you thought i was emoji thumbing i yeah i guess so no i wasn't because the iphone you know if it's three emojis or less you get a big one yeah i thought you just did that i was like oh gmail is the same thing huge thumb. Yeah, I don't know. In that case, maybe I need to rethink it. I liked it. OK, I liked it.

I've had this written on my podcast notes for a few weeks now. Just the word bug drones, question mark. We thought about this. Heard about these at all. Bug drones. They're not politics. Yeah. Is it political? I've heard that I patrol I've heard that like like yeah

Countries probably United States too, but like they're making drones the size of like a fly I give if you didn't know any different. I see I was thinking like pesticide drones Yeah farmers been using these I got you now size of the size of the bug size of bugs I need drones like like let's say there's a fly in the room right now. It's just up on the wall Oh, it could be a freaking drone. Oh Bug drone tell me more about this. Well, I don't know that much about it. I'll say Catherine's brother kind of talked to me about it I've heard it from a few other people Catherine's brother knows a decent amount because of industry he works in is

Similar not exactly but spy Surveillance can't say can't say he's in the Navy. No, I'm just kidding Joke with Rachel Anyway, are you finding anything about yeah? Yeah, what do you call the micro aerial vehicles make sense maps insects skilled drones cutting-edge technology? extremely small flying robots They have like there's wing flapping drones and rotor based drones Like if these things become a thing like there's nowhere like you can literally have those things fly in anywhere applications are

Surveillance and military covert surveillance in tighter indoor spaces, search and rescue. Now that's kind of fun. Okay. Or pollination. Robo bees. That's funny. Look out robo birds.

It's like encouraging them to like pollinate? Yeah, maybe it's kind of like a... Wait. Yeah. So there's a robo bee that goes into a hive of actual bees What are we doing here? We got to make honey for the planet You're living like he's out of the And it says medical uses oh, this is like miss Frizzle type stuff the F stuff.

Probing are they like looking with a camera or they like is it I don't know yeah, I'm scared from what I understand haven't had one yet But yeah, it's like a tube basically with a camera on the end that goes Okay, so they're looking scavengers. Yeah, drunk could do that. Yeah, although could it squeeze did you breathe in? Or breathe out okay? I want you to take a nice Right breathe out Just pretend like you're tooting pretend like you're flatulating real quick You guys arrive at a position

Dan's be we I don't know much more than that about colonoscopies. I think they do just like shove something up there

Yeah, it's like a scope Do you guys have a position that you get into if you need to fart? Well this could be the colonoscopies position. That's why I'm thinking of this. I think it opens it up a little bit. I'm pretty comfortable farting in almost any position. Well, I feel like there's been times where he's got bubble gut and you can't get it out.

It's where you go. What I know child pose is a position. Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah. I don't know yoga poses that well, but you got to get heat rises.

Oh I For we forgot to do this on Wednesday. You guys don't have to join in but I have a quick one of the week Okay, I was editing some of last week and it's like 730 at night

I need a call from Ward Weeby and who's that again that thank you sometimes I forget to give context a lot of these things to the new listeners he's the Longtime director of a canna-cut camp the one I spent six summers at we're good buds He's probably a 59 year old man good guy He calls me at like 739 like he's got to be in the middle of camp right now And I could tell him on speakerphone, and he's like up right now and I could tell him on speakerphone and he's like, Dread, what I'm here with some some campers. They're former KOS campers. They're now on programs at K2. They came over here and they were trying to figure

out how you did this party like nine years ago. I was like, that is so awesome. And they were like, what was that party where it was all white in there? And I go Arctic Tundra, conundra. and then I can hear all these voices like But then they're asking me deals like how did you do that because we basically I was like an Arctic themed party Did you guys have that one you're on programs? No, it's 2014 and Year after I left we end up getting billboard tarps because we're in Branson There's all these billboards anyway Like we found a company that makes tarps for like unused billboards. And we just lined every inch with like a white tarp.

And it was like an igloo and all this stuff. Turned out it gets pretty warm in there. It's the opposite of an igloo. But it was fun just getting to share all that. Like we did these black lights where they start from coolers so the entryway is cool. And I was like, that is such another testament to like the stuff we did at Kanukah.

People are still like thinking about it. Like wanting to recreate it right? They will sounds like it either trying to yeah, I think so They're like, do you remember the name of the company? I think no, I do not but good luck pretty easily Yeah, you'll find someone. Yeah, that's so fun. Yeah That sounds like a good one it was fun what'd What'd you do? Did you do like ice anything? I see we learned popsicles or something yeah like all the treats are frozen treats we learned the hard way Not to

What do we do? I think these snowballs we like bought a bunch of snowballs like to have a snowball fight and that was fine But I think kids were taking them out there when it was time to go get a treat. You know, it's like cabin two, go get your snow cones, whatever. They would confiscate the snowballs out there, dunk them in like the cooler and like get them like wet and then bring them back in. And then they were like baseballs.

And so, did not see that coming. Wait, so these were like manufactured snow? Or like- Oh yeah, I guess I should have. I'm an idiot. Like plush snowballs. Just like a little cushion toy. I thought you were thinking like snow cone, like ice that you'd...

Yeah, sorry. No, just like a cushion toy. These are fun little snowballs to throw around or to dump at the beach. They were wading them with the water. Yeah, they were like dunking them. Don't squeeze it out, you lose all the power. That's great. That's so middle school.

Yeah, it is. Like the elementary school destructive Like our little kids would never think to do that. The counselors might everyone's mom. Yeah. What are you doing? Decisions come on decisions That was we were worried about the counselors that the kids man, so that's fun anyway Other thing I wanted to make sure to mention I think it's gonna be over by the time this comes out but shout out Caleb Wallace Put on that whole fundraiser with Ryan Trahan's videos,

raising money for St. Jude. Yeah. It just, that's the kind of thing you would think the actual co-host of the podcast would be doing.

the whole way. And this time I was like, Hey, what if I did some work? Hattie wasn't with the Hattie still in Texas for like another week. That's how honey pops. So I was like, I'll just sit in the very back seat next to Bo. That's nice. You know, I'll manage all the kids back there. And then I'll use my hotspot and work on my computer. It was awesome. I got like seven hours. I got a full day of work done while she drove. And I could tell you were humming too. Like I was, I was texting you so many different things.

Like, what was it about my morning or right before that? Like, how do I do that every day? I think a little bit of it is like getting a little snowball like like getting a few easy wins where it's just like, OK, OK, we're making decisions quick now.

And if you I know it gets hard, but don't Patrick quit. Thank you. I was like, I don't remember the other two. Be on time. Don't be tardy. Oh, yeah. You know, the other thing cool about this is the owner of the

St. Louis Shock is a billionaire with a B and he's also going. Sounds like he's also going to be there. So that could be a fun network. Upper networking opportunity. First time I'll ever be in a room with a billionaire. I'll say that. What are you gonna say to him? Hello. Hello? Oh my gosh a billion now That's like a lot of money I just hope you can get to st.

I got one dang it Let me do this pod is crazy five star view is the best podcast I'll ever listen to what Jake Brad The other guy who I won't list because he's in Ohio make me laugh daily from random raps to goofy games These three are sure to send you to the emergency room weekly from laughing too much I listen y'all every night before bed bed and I always go to sleep wishing I could listen to more. I've tried to spread the good news of

your podcast but none of my friends are interested. But I won't stop pestering into the whole friend group listening daily. If I could read this 10 stars I would. Bye bye. Bye bye. Thank you.

Great review. Thank you. Wait till he hears about colonoscopies. Oh yeah he's going to lose it. Yeah. Is that the episode name or is that like too good of a punchline. Who knows what it'll be. That's gonna lose it. Yeah, is that the episode name or is that like too good of a punchline? That's the thing dude, there's no way of knowing that is the fun thing is I never you always name the episode

So I it's always a surprise for me. I think Wednesday gonna go you did improv question mark Okay, featuring that pickleball guy good First I think it's saxophone improv, but I think you did improv. Yeah, you did improv is good. Do you guys do the chapters on Spotify or is that like AI generated auto? OK, I thought so. I think there's some super, super accurate. I was trying to find that. Yeah, that lifetime story.

And there was some odd chapter titles. I was like, I wonder if Jake and Brad do this. Or one of them said like this gym is an asshole. Yeah, that's the one I was like. See that? Yeah. No. How did it even get there? I don't know. Did we make a joke about that? I don't know did we make a joke about that I don't know. I mean maybe it's worth turning those off

No, I think we have fun with them all right. It didn't say the word it literally bleeped out I said asshole asterisks s Triple yeah ship Could be I don't know we thought I we don't know sent sink sinkhole single single maybe I don't understand why they bleed out, but single all right minds a five-star review from leashy five Did you do this? Let's see. It's five stars confession confession time. I regularly skip focus on the family episodes to instead listen to Ghost Runners

Can't have a business on Ozzy and you know ghost runs Jake Braden time to bring me so much joy and laughter. I'm from Oregon and consistently wish I lived near enough to bump into one of you or go to the places you talk about so often. And then they say I actually saw time at church one time in KC, but was too chicken to say hi. So many reps. It's like, I wish I would live closer so I could see you. I did see one of you and I just didn't say hi. Sorry this review's so long, but I have more to say. I work with one of my best friends and after months of her telling me to listen to Ghost Turners,

I finally did it and I've never been more grateful. We talk more about Jake and Brad and Tymon than we do about work now. It's become my entire personality. Thank you for all you guys do. LeeChi5. Thank you. My entire personality right now

is telling people to just pack minimally. Yeah, that's like your big kick right now. Oh, it was awesome. What my big kick is right now is telling people to just pack minimally. Yeah, that's like your big kick right now Oh, it was awesome. My big kick is right now Honestly, I spend so much time thinking about my calf It's embarrassing and like learning so much about compression and blood flow and in inflammation foam rolling So is it is it at this point? Sorry that was struggle I have been awake for a long time today. I just glitched out for a second. So this is like a lawnmower trying to start skipping.

At this point, is it more about the fear than it is the pain? Like, are you in pain or is it just like I'm scared of getting hurt? Is the fear of getting like re-injured and like starting over and like a month long process again. Yeah. You know, so it's like, hey, Kyle's flying all the way here. I probably shouldn't go a month without playing pickleball, but I probably need to play at least once

before he gets here. And that was kind of like the push and pull of like, should I chance it? And I did yesterday with Scott, took the sleeve off. I don't think I re-injured it so we're feeling good okay I think I'll be it's kind of tough when you have like a I want to say a fringe injury and I want to downplay your no it is like very you can you can do stuff yeah you know you probably shouldn't yeah that's very

like I've had what since I've been playing pickleball I deal with like hip flexor stuff and it's like I can move but I it really needs to rest but I don't want to rest I want to keep moving on the worst I just I'll always just be like I'll suck it up and I know recover later because I don't have to play for my job but like and that's a little bit too it's like obviously we could still do what we need to do being injured but honestly I mean like our YouTube would struggle if like one of us got seriously injured like it would it would suck so it's like it is important to stay healthy Keep the Achilles alive, so your body is your job now. That's my that's my kick Scott

You got any kicks to end the episode which a kick right now You got something else thinking about one said lavender. Oh got it lattes is my kick right now Wow, you're gonna say your new meals. Scott's gonna start eating right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll go lattes and then, yeah. So, we're in a very busy season of life right now. Sam and I, Sam's starting a new business,

which is exciting for her. I'm still obviously smucking and doing a lot of Friday. Like, the more she works on her business, the less she helps with Friday customer service So I'm kind of like the guy right now. Yeah, what's Sam doing? She's doing a company They're calling it easy peasy performance training be easy peasy. He's small terms Performance training easy peasy performance training and the gist is her and another dance mom who's a personal trainer are putting together

And the gist is her and another dance mom who's a personal trainer are putting together sports specific strength training programs for young female athletes. So they're doing like dance, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and they're designing like 15 to 20 minute minimal equipment workouts to help girls like build strength that'll help them, you know, avoid injury and do better in their sport. And they're going to gonna she's gonna have a website and No, it's easy peasy. Oh, it sounds tough and rough though So they're gonna have a website and then they're gonna have like daily workout videos that you do and follow along with but Quick not invasive into like kids times and it's great. That's got elevator pitch

Thank you. Good summary and And they're going to do like community. They're going to build the community around it and try to give back to communities where these girls are at and everything. And so she's been working like crazy getting that off the ground. So, yeah, she's she's very busy with that. And then like I do not have the time or patience to figure out what meals to cook and go shop and cook them. And it's my health is showing. Like more than more

than anything I'm just like I feel so slow on the pickleball court right now. I'm like I need to I need to get in shape. So it's a bit of an investment but it's like hey this is an investment in my health. Like I want to get in shape. This is going to eliminate the time of shopping and macro counting and all that. So similar to what Jake's been doing just getting some meals delivered and going to do that for a while to try. Yeah. Get a little calorie deficit. Maybe hold off on the puppy chow for a little while, uh, get in shape. So I'm excited about that. My first box delivered today after I left the house. So I haven't even tried one yet. So tomorrow will be the, will be

the day. Great. Lattes as well. Lattes as well. Love a good latte. When Rachel showed up with a lavender latte for the paddle exchange, that was great. Where? In my morning. It's so funny because it's like you're so new to this realm of coffee that do you have any standard at all? Like do you have a favorite place to get a latte or is it just like they're all the same to me? I haven't really noticed a massive difference between where I've gotten lattes from. Like McLean's market latte is pretty fire Yeah, they have a really good like market syrup. Whatever it is really. I think they changed the syrup. It's still good

It's still really it tastes like seven toast crunch. Yeah, I'm still very new to it though Like you guys were talking about cocktails the other day and I'm like, I don't even know where to begin with that But no, I like I like Dutch bros, too. I like their protein lattes. Oh, interesting. Whoa. Didn't know they had those. Protein, yeah.

Cool. How much protein in there? I think like 20 grams. Whoa. Yeah, it's actually really not bad. I should actually get one of those. Yeah, protein lattes. If you get like a-

A guilt-free latte. Yeah, it's like a, I think if you do sugar-free vanilla, it's only like 200 calories, and 20 of, I of I mean 120 of no 80 of those calories is protein so I cancer though Enjoy cancer though.
