Good morning, Ghosties. If you're listening this on Wednesday, thanks for listening. And good morning. And good morning. If you're listening to on Wednesday morning. Yeah. We've got a fun story. How's your breakfast?

What'd you do last night, which was Tuesday night? Yeah, Tuesday night. What'd you watch on TV? What'd you binge? What are you binging? What are you doing tomorrow? Thursday. Good.

Yes. Are you going to church tonight? It's Wednesday. Okay, this is a fun story from the week. So I have just pulled in to the gym and I get an email notification and it's like, hey, please, we need you to respond to this by 1 p.m. today. I'm like, oh, geez, what have I been missing? And then I see that it's like Hulu has been emailing like our old email address. I think that's why I never saw it.

But then they recently found my personal email and your personal email. Yeah. And so it truly was the first time we've seen it. Hulu wants to do a brand deal, like a paid partnership, YouTube short with gene shorts, which of course is the extremely popular, extremely active brand. Bustling, yeah. Man, we can't make enough. I mean, we've just, we're losing money because of how much we're cranking out,

how much filming and editing and it's hard. Yeah, we're just doing, that's what like Amazon just like lives in debt or Netflix lives in debt. That's we're kind of doing just to get stuff out there initially. Because we care about the content. we will get there eventually it'll start rolling you guys know you guys get it and so i'm sitting my car just like well i guess it doesn't hurt to respond to this this seems legit from what i can tell it's hulu and to be fair like no no not it'll be fair but like i bet we i mean i don't know

maybe everyone these days but we get so many spam crap things like this all the time that are a i or like some foreign thing and so you see these things and you're always just like blow them off and so finally this one they like pursued us like four times and this time it had like our regular email I was like maybe this one's legit so yeah it's yes there is a lot of crud to sort through yeah and it was like well because most of time it's like dear triplet Jake I've enjoyed your content like all right this is just like a copy is we think that Ellis custom creations.com is a great business I'm like I love the recent post so yeah it looks legit but also is like I mean have they not been paying attention we haven't posted in over a year

that's so funny they want to work with us they say they love our stuff they want us to promote some movie like we're just wondering your rates for a youtube short and this is i can't explain enough how little brad and i would have a baseline of what to charge for this yeah in our years of jean shorts we got very few brand deals also for someone does just specifically want a youtube short it's just so random and just like how in the world do you value this yeah there's i can't over emphasize just like there's no baseline for what this would cost but i don't know they said a 30 second youtube short yeah it's like nothing but yeah and we could do that it we could do that before this episode's over while recording this episode we could each take turns

and go outside and do it yeah it's so i'm like well i guess i'll still email it it seems legit it is hulu it appears and so i go back and forth a little bit for some reason i'm like uh i'll just say this no i mean come on let's at least they'll they're gonna negotiate down i'm gonna say this number ah maybe that's too high no no no that's a good number and then i'm really now i'm spending way too much time on i'm like dude just freaking send the email and so i do i don't don't even like think about it. I'm like, all right, just send that. Probably never going to hear back from him. The second I send the email, I get incredibly nervous because how the Gmail app works in between their email and my email, Brad has also emailed in the last 60 seconds. And I just immediately like, oh no. What did he say? Brad has also sent them a price. Oh, geez. What have we done? Yeah. Because we just never talk about this. This isn't even a business. No. I've done it over a year. No. Yeah. And I'm so. nervous and I look Brad's like hey yes we would love to work with you guys we let and then we said the same exact number to the dot I mean it's I don't know how we did that

immediately I like voice memo I was like dude how did we just pull it up you're not going to believe this dude I'm walking into the gym right now that was the craziest thing we deserve this and what was so funny is you go I had originally I had a lower number picked out but then I went higher and I go yeah originally I had a higher number picked out when I went lower if that doesn't define the relationship that we have I don't know what time Because, uh, uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts on white, me too, then West best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because this is a Ghostrofts podcast. Yeah, that was a fun, fun, fun podcast. Yeah, that was a fun, fun start to this week.

They have not gotten back to us, have they? No, they're like, all right, we'll put you on the, you know, suggested list of this thing. I'm like, all right. Do you know the show that they're trying to promote, we shouldn't say their name on here? Don't promote it from free. Just okay. Just in case everyone's listening to it. But it's like a show with Glenn Powell, aka Scott Peck, who is acting like the Eli Manning, like, character.

You see that video when Eli Manning went to Penn State or whatever? and was very obviously Eli Manning, but it was like kind of like an Uncle Drew situation where he was in disguise as like this quarterback that's amazing. Clint Powell's doing that. I think so. The very quickly,

when I scrolled on that email, I think that's what it was. Who is he trying to be like an actor or something? I don't know. I don't know. We'll learn before we promote it. I promise. But,

but man, yeah, I was so stressed when I saw you had emailed. Were you? Dude, how is this? bricked guy so responsive to this email and that was that was Thursday morning too whenever no it was Friday morning I mean just yeah chaos of of my day whatever but and then we get another email today

that was sent to both of us today good ranchers wanted to know our address yeah and I responded right when I saw it and I don't know how quickly that was but like between when they actually emailed us or whatever. And then after, I don't know who said it first, but like, whatever, right after I responded, I see Jake responded the exact same thing. Dang, man. It's like, wow, lock step, bro. We're doing this thing. On a roll this week. So, so don't email us unless you expect the same exact response within 30 seconds of each other. You know how like, like classic things in those movies where it's like, you know, you're undercover cop or whatever. They're like, so how long you guys know each other? One person's like, four days. Three years. It's like seven years. We would never. Ask us

a question, Sam. And be quick. What's your favorite restaurant? Oh, Cholet. I had the same, the first three letters. Yeah. Exact same. Yeah.

Another one. What's your dog's name? Oh. Fido. That was pretty good. And what, but like, what did we originally want to name it? Foster. Who's your favorite Bible man character?

Oh, my gosh. Got to be. Dexler Dexler Dexler I couldn't have made it worse for you I stuttered twice and I said it really quickly

That that Dexter All right Ask us What our favorite You know Line in a song is Oh that's fun

What's your favorite Line in a song Simple It's got to be Just a quick one Dap do do do do do And then we hit it there. We don't do the hey-hays.

We don't like that. Thank you for asking. Yeah. Thank you for asking. Yeah, we nailed that. Interrogation. Bring it on. We're going to interview us separately good.

Please. Do it at the same time. I don't care. Well, it'll be like, listen to an echo. Last week, you talked about neighbor, Dennis. People are intrigued. Yeah. So give Sam a quick rundown.

what you saw being interviewed separately he's probably gonna have to be he's a key witness maybe people people goes to the community are concerned they're like you need to call the FBI you need to call your police I didn't see that comment long story short the neighbor across the street I just witnessed him to take his trash like a bag of trash

around the corner and put it in somebody else's trash bed late at night oh yeah that's weird 10 30 night and this guy is a little sketchy looking he is he is he not I don't know what about the people whose trasher got put in okay let me let me back up because i feel like jake's

judging me for saying that no i think i think if if you see him if if everything else is equal he's not that sketchy of a guy but watching that guy put trash in somebody else's trash right it could have been more yeah like if you and i did that i don't think people would think that much about it that's good but dennis is like a little bit balding nice beard little squatty kind of walked over in his jeans and just put it in there i don't know no it's good yeah so that's that's the main part of it what'd you ask what about the neighbors who this evidence is being planted on yeah i know would they deserve it i don't think so i think that neighbor is in a wheelchair so he knew that there's no way that guy's going to get out in time to get him easy target yeah so i don't

think if you think that that guy deserves something no i speak now buddy it sounds like yeah it's already being punished I don't know. So, yeah. So what were you going to say? Oh, yeah. So I told Rachel about this. And she told me that she's seen Dennis throw something away in our trash before.

The plot thickens. She said she saw him grab something from the road. She's like, maybe he thought it was ours. But either way, he grabbed something in the road, equidistant from our trash cans. And instead of putting it in his, put it in ours. Maybe he is concerned about the maggots. He doesn't want to get maggots his own trash can.

So he puts the real dirty stuff in someone. somebody else is. Like, it sounds like you maybe had some loose trash in the street. And he's like, I'm going to put that in that trash kid. Yeah. It's mag trash. So I don't know what that means, but the plot somewhat thickens. I will say, uh, mother nature might have got a little revenge on him today.

So in the Monday episode, I talked about how had he was obsessed with that possum out in the middle of our street. Actually texted Catherine today because the vultures found it. There are a couple of vultures out there. And I text a Catherine, I picture. and I was like, hey, I got a front row seat to the circle of life if you're trying to teach the kids another science lesson today. And anyway, what happened is these vultures, every time a car would come by, they'd give a little spoo. They'd fly away.

They'd come back. Well, one time, they flew away with the, like, flattened possum in their mouth, and they dropped it in Dennis's yard. And then they just continued to, like, eat the whole posse in his yard. And this dude likes his yard a lot. Yeah, very into his yard. interesting okay cat maybe the kids ask like what's going to happen to that dead possum tell me if this is true or not I said animal you can call animal control and they will come pick it up I would have known necessarily who to call but I think that's I think there is a

service of people like specifically who do like roadside roadkill pickup do you know anything about this Sam I our neighbor had um a dead raccoon in his yard separate It had some tire tracks on them. Separate from any of my doing. But it was in his yard. And it was actually they were selling their home. So nobody was living there. Dead raccoon in yard, rotting, smelling just horrendous.

And so I called Roadside. And they literally said that they couldn't because it wasn't roadside. Oh. They wouldn't have the jurisdiction, sir. Yeah. Yeah. So it's not called Lawnside. I went and got a shovel and moved it.

to the road and then you said all right it's there I got a road for you yeah okay so it's like roads it's like animal control is the same thing yeah I think so okay same department because Catherine was like that's so smart I didn't know that and I was like well to be fair I'm not positive that that's the truth either

I would have been with you like no I think it's a thing but I think she because she grew up kind of in the country like you did I don't think she had that service so vultures are the you know natural way or foxes or whatever yeah but okay but anyway

Those are my dentist updates, yeah. He's up to no good. Yeah, people were concerned about this. A lot of true crime junkies out there, just thinking the worst. Yeah, true crime is fun. I hope I get involved someday. Quicker than you think. As the plaintiff.

That's, talk about something that I don't know off the top of my head, plaintiff. Plaintiff is what? Not the defendant. Stop. Well, no, that's kind of rude. That's kind of rude. That helps me. You knew that I didn't know what a plaintiff was.

You think I'm just like defendants like on top of the Rolodex? You can contextualize defendant. Harder to contextualize plaintiff. Defendant. Well, no. Defending themselves. So defendant's the bad guy, like the person that did it? Oh, it could be innocent.

The person that's getting accused of the crime? Yeah, I think the two hands up. Plaintiff is like the witness. Oh. Oh, you're like. I don't even know, though. Okay. But I think those are opposites.

Defendant plaintiff. Plaintiff. Hey, way. Lazy salute. Let me look this up real quick. Plaintiff versus. Would you have known plaintiff? If somebody's like, hey, what's a plaintiff?

No, no idea. You hear it a lot. You've heard the word. I probably abused it thinking that I do it, but I have no idea. Not sure. The plaintiff is the person or entity that files a lawsuit. So the sewer. The sewer.

The sewage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The defendant is the person or entity being sued. The suee. Suee. Suee. Who pig. Shout out.

Okay. So, yeah, pretty much. you would love to be a plaintiff or would you like to be a witness i think you want to be a witness you don't want to be the one if you're a plaintiff that means you might have like witnessed it firsthand and now you're sue bring it on oh yeah okay no i would take any role in it your crime documentary i think you ever had jury duty no i've gotten uh asked a few times and i've always gotten out of it really there was one time it was like literally like you're you have jury duty you have to call in to see if you get selected like on a phone call

And I just called and they're like, yeah, you didn't get it. Like, okay. Good job. Then maybe one other time I had to go in. I don't know. I would have remembered that. No, I don't think I've had to do it. Somehow never.

I feel like everybody that I've heard who has had it has multiple run-ins with it. They keep coming after them. Oh, they're like, you did a good job the first time. Yeah. I've also never had poison ivy and I wonder if that's related. Me neither. Me neither. Okay.

And you ever had jury duty? No. What are you more worried about? Honestly. jury duty me too yeah they got creams for the ivy yeah but i got i got work to do to be fair wouldn't know how to recognize either of them like in the wild i don't know oh yeah is that poison oak could be sumach i leaves of three let it be means almost nothing to me have you heard that i don't even know what you said you've heard that yeah leaves the three let it be leaves of three let it be

is what they say for for for poison ivy three let it be I don't I don't know Clovers of four Clovers of four Worry no more Yeah

There does need to be a new jingle Yeah Yeah for poison ivy Yeah Help us out more I just don't know Like when I look at plants Sometimes I'm like

I don't know where that Leaf of three starts And where another leaf of three starts So I'm like I see five little leaves but whereas when is it is it three over here and one of them fell off over there so that's poison ivy there was also there was another one like this i don't know if it rhymed but there were like two types of snakes that look really similar and they're like red yellow and black and it's like

ringer ring yellow around red soon to be dead black outside yellow you're totally fine fellow yeah i'm never gonna i'm never gonna see these snakes why am i learning this for the third time in grade school there's also one for bears i was going to say the bears one yeah i didn't learn this until probably a year or two ago yeah brown lay down yeah yeah if it's black attack

yeah and then white good night good night say good night because you're dead done yeah it's over

I think I might have on the podcast like a year or so ago see guys we teach each other things here yeah so the little black bear is you can spook them off grizzly bears oh boy

get out of there also you don't even try to be big for a grizzly I was like I should. You're never going to out big a grizzly, though. You never will. Nope. Not even close, buddy.

Nope. A lifetime. Also, is it true? Maybe we've had this whole conversation before. Was it true you're supposed to zigzag with grizzlies? That's a bullet. Also, active shooter.

They called the grizzly the bullet of the forest. Isn't it like they can't, they're not very shifty? I don't know. That would be hilarious though. What if you die within like 16 seconds? because you're like, I thought I was supposed to shift. I'm not joking him. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm doing a spin move on a bear and you just like malls you. What was that? Yeah, I don't think they can turn very well. I don't know. Let me look it up. That is intriguing to me. That gets me excited about like if I do run into one. Like I feel like I could, because I'm not a good two-handed touch football player.

I would rather it be tackle. Yeah, yeah, you're going to get a paw on me. Yeah. You're not going to take me down. That'd be with the grizzly. Man, I would get killed so quick. Uh, quick AI overview. Yes, bears can turn quickly.

So you imagine me just like doing like zigz out of like cone drills through like like slaloming through the forest and the bear's like what is this guy doing? I see you dude. Like those dogs doing the events where you go in and out of you're doing that with trees. Dude, that is what Uncle Bob trains dogs for. Oh really? Yeah. All comes back to Uncle Bob. Had to.

Did I talk about this on the podcast? I've got a recent Instagram obsession. these border collies sniffing out keys is that's zero percent familiar sniffing out keys i got this real like suggested to me and normally a two and a half minute reel oh you better be bringing it yeah uh but this one it got my attention it's this guy he's got a GoPro on his forehead or something

and he's rubbing his like sweat on like a key and then he chucks it into this like creek bed and then he walks and none of it's sped up this is like very much a boomer making a video and i was still glued to it he walks like 30 seconds and goes and unhooks as like border collie and then he lets the border collie smell his hands and he's like oh yeah and then this border collie like has the whole earth to explore basically and it sniffs out this creek bed and it sniffs out the exact spot in the water where the key is in the water yeah it feels like water just like eliminates all other like senses it does i was reading

through his captions and all the comments and it's like it's extremely hard for dogs or any animal smell anything once it's in water because it eliminates he had 90% of the odor or whatever yeah Yeah, this dude's got some crazy videos. And sometimes it's not even his own sweat. It's like, I'm going to, someone mailed me some of their, like, belongings. So I'm going to, like, throw theirs in this creek bed and let him sniff the bag it was in. And he could find that. I mean, he does all sorts of stuff.

But anyway, he claims he's trying to breed this one border collie to be able to eventually sniff out cancer. Oh my gosh. Which would be amazing. Yeah. What does that mean? Sniff out cancer. It's like a charity you do or like you donate, like this. dog place just everyone come let me smell your clothes if you have cancer and he'll just yeah I actually

have no idea what that means okay just like detecting it early I guess oh I see I see probably just like I know there's some dogs who are like like diabetic dogs or not they have diabetes maybe but they are like helpful for diabetics and oh interesting like they can smell like your blood sugar spiking wow I just can't even really wrap my head around it no that sounds wild and amazing yeah Cool. Speaking of dogs, Airbud's coming back. You see that?

No. How do you feel about when you hear things like that? Slash, just like in general, like this new Happy Gomore 2 just came out. And I'm like, I don't even know if I'm going to watch it

because it's like there's no way it's going to be that good, right? Yeah, I think it depends a little bit like if there's something about like, if they bring back the sandlot, something absolutely loved. They did bring back to Sandlot.

Yeah, yeah. It's like I'm not interested in that because I know it won't be as good. good. But something about Airbud, which is like, it's part of my childhood, but it was like kind of silly even as a day. It's like, oh, this could be hilarious to go see. That's true.

And in the, yeah, you're right. Because like the standard, my expectation for is like, okay, it's just a kids movie. On one end, it's like, oh, I hope it's basketball. So it's like the original. But on the other end, like, I hope it's golf. Yeah. Like, let's get this dog doing some crazy sports. I hope it's wakeboarding.

Yeah. What would the golf one, like the pun for the golf one be? Airbud. canine iron nice we're not going to find anything better than that don't even try you want to go for another one

you want to you want to go for a different sport that's gonna be tough yeah that's K9 iron I peaked yeah that was good that's really yeah dang what about pick a ball putters and mutters

that's pretty good sounds like a bar yeah it does we got some putters and some mutters you hear that bar case closed down yeah we have a bar in Kansas City that I've never been to to be fair

it's like a dog theme like bring your dog to it and it's closed down permission to go one more of the golf thing please Air Bud golf get your dog chipped in we're

we're chipping in something something with the chip there's actually golf has a lot of terms to work right it's kind of nice you got one hit it in the rough oh Oh, that's good.

Man, how do we not think of that? That's so good. It's in the rough. That's the best one. End it there. The rough. All right, yeah. I'm trying to get Tiger involved.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, Tiger Woods and Airbud. Tiger Woofs. That's good, too. Yeah, not bad. Yeah, that's good. Hit it in there.

It's rough. That's so good, dude. So hopefully it's that. Okay. Yeah, you're right. You're right. like low expectation places or movies like that though like Lion King two no way they don't try don't do that home alone eight no but uh yeah what about this has got some

random thoughts for you uh Catherine ever since I've been married to Catherine she I think her aunt was a English teacher or something so there's certain things that Catherine is like kind of particular about one of them is ending sentences with prepositions I think about This is a lot because of the Ellis's. Gosh, I'm sorry because I think she kind of ruined me. The most specific one is, where are you versus where are you at? People say it all the time. Where did you get that at?

Where are you at? Where, yeah, whatever. But there's something, what do you think of like, just culturally, doesn't it feel way more aggressive to be like, hey, man, where are you? Versus like, hey, man, where are you at? Where are you at? And maybe I can try to, let me, let me, let me. try a few different tones here hey man where are you is that good it's still it's too it's a

little more I know I know hey man yeah especially if you say where are you yeah hey hey man where are you yeah this guy really wants it over I am where are you maybe that was good I'm at the hospital where are you yeah it's like a call in response yeah the hospital as as Rosie calls I'm at the hospital where are you I'm at home where are you

where are you at see where are you at those are just so fun where you at dude I'm at putters and mutters where are you at bro come on out

you gotta get to putters and mutters peas and ems got tons of beer stuff here bro come on I looked this up just last week

I was typing up the description to like our Wednesday episode and like I was like I think that's a preposition yeah

they're not going to like this let me double check it so i typed into chat tv and it was like although technically that is a preposition in modern american culture it's totally okay to do that oh really i don't think the rules could change i'm not asking you if it's okay to say it but it does feel that that's what i that's my argument to katherine is like people just say where you at where you at it's like holding on to old english yes we should be saying thou yeah sometimes she gets a little bit on her high horse and i correct her because she loves pulling out the she instead of her stuff and sometimes it's wrong she just Every time she hears the word her, she's just like, she and I'm like, no, this time, this time it's wrong.

Yeah, she's going whom over who, 100% of the time. Yeah, she's not, yeah, that would be a good example, but she doesn't do that one. Good. But she, she does like doing she sometimes. I'm like, that's not right. Yeah. It's not just always she. You know, I also think about it.

It's funny how often like grammar does like somewhat enter my head, but just like when I'm doing a lot of these Friday pickball voiceovers, it's always like, this week, me and Isaac because like that feels natural. And then it's like, am I going to feel like a English. Professor Dork of like this week Isaac and I are playing I don't know it just doesn't flow the same I know yeah I do draw the line at funner though I'm not going to make up words I will say most fun

I would say more fun okay fair enough I draw the line at oh yeah I seen that I seen that I seen it oh I see that yeah that's just a little bit of your country boy yeah it's every every one of my friend's dad's growing up every Facebook post you see

anybody know what's going on over at Dennis's house. I seen, I seen there's a vulture on as long. I seen one vulture. Maybe two. That's fun. Another, another random thought, hate the new Instagram story font. You seen this? Everyone's using it. Yeah, when they come out on the new font, it feels like everyone's like paid to use it. People are clown in it. Are they? You know who's loving it? Brian. LeBron. Oh, really? Oh yeah. He's all over it. I don't know why. I shouldn't have that strong of feelings about fonts but I do I do like a good font and I hate a bad one and that one's a bad one it feels like it's like monster energy collab yeah it's intense goosebumps font or something

wild so don't like that I was I have an observation from the gym this week I saw a guy I was on my way out and he was doing the stairmaster with like the 65 pound easy like dumbbell curl like you know bar he had that like over one shoulder while doing the stair climber over one shoulder yeah like it wasn't over both it's a bar though that could have been over both yeah but it was like mainly over the right shoulder going diagonal down the back of his that's a try hard move yeah and that's kind of what i thought i was like i think like that's extremely impressive but i can't even imagine i can't imagine having the nerve to do it or like i wouldn't even thought of that like why like why do you need a bar on your back

to go up these stairs. Also, can you imagine how embarrassed you'd be if you ever drop that thing? Oh, sorry, sorry. Dumb, dumb, dumb, don't. It's like, yeah, dude. You shouldn't have had that there. It just gets jammed in the stairs. You lower it down too far?

Most people at a lifetime, I feel like, I mean, no other way around a jam. There's not a lot of, like, things to really poke fun up. Most time it's me with my flashlight on. But this was like, what in the world? How do you? even think of that. I might hit the stair climbing today. I might grab 65 pounds and put most of it on my back. That's so odd. Yeah. So be on the lookout for that. Okay. Yeah. Oh, I'm hungry. I'm hungry. Can I be honest? What? Yeah. I need some protein. Yeah. I'm getting, I'm getting

antsy. I'm about to fall asleep. I'm about to pass out. Boyd. Boy, does that not sound good? It doesn't. It's not feeling good either. Boy, do I have a company for you? you to check out. What is it? I need it now quickly. They sell protein. Yes, they do. Good ranchers.com. Okay. Go on. They sell high quality, yet affordable, yet convenient, yet antibiotic free, yet tasty meat. Sounds good so far. Man, I can't get this guy's vibe to change matter what I say. What if I told you you can get $40 off your first purchase? That seems like a good deal. Okay. What if I told you expedited shipping? I like it. I like that. All right. I mean, yeah, it's 2025.

Let me try to find a new angle here. So, you know, I said antibiotic free. This means, I mean, it's organic. It's like it's nothing but the chicken. It's nothing but the beef. It's nothing but the fish. There's no added hormones. There's no antibiotics, no seed oils in the chicken nuggets. Makes sense. It's the good stuff. It's delivered right to your door.

there when I'm leaving, still staring. Dude, have you done it? It's just 9-11 walks or something. It's terrible. Really? Awful. Really? Just like I mean, you do 10 minutes of that, maybe less and you are just drenched. Quads barking? I'm not sure. I can't even remember. I've only done it a few times

because like this is hell on earth. This is just why would I want to do this? I don't know. It's just no fun. You'll ever do the ski ski machine? I did it once in San Diego. Wow. Oh, that,

this thing like a. Yeah. That one's kind of fun for a time. That one feels like one that I need a friend the first time I do it. Just to make sure. Like, dude, I could look like an idiot doing this. Oh, it'd be awful to do it wrong.

Yes. Yeah. And it kind of looks like no matter what you're kind of doing it wrong. Like there's no way to do it smooth. You're always. Kind of jerking. Yeah. Yeah.

How is, what is, is that one like, you set a weight to it? Or is it just like a resistance thing? Resistance. Kind of like a rowing machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I did some today.

Yeah, we can tell, maybe. Do you guys are, you guys doing, there's like normal treadmills, but the, like, self-propelled treadmills? You ever see where, like, a guy gets sprinting on that? Have you ever done one? Once again, San Diego. San Diego was a, he had a fitness convention. Yeah.

was uh though i it's so loud though it like takes over the gym like everyone begins staring at the one guy sprinting on this yeah i'm not sure i know what you mean what's the it's the it's like kind of by the the water fountain where the you know some of those like rowing machines are and stuff but anyway you propel it yourself so it just goes at your pace yeah okay and you kind of like i think you you you step higher up on it if you want to go faster you step lower back i'm going to go slower a little bit dude it's terrifying something about it's crazy loud and yeah Every now that people will just, like, go and like, I'm just going to sprint for 30 seconds.

Just everyone can look at me. Well, I do it. It's so loud. Is it one your gym has? Crique you loud? Yeah, it's loud. I mean, it's getting on that thing is just terrifying. Like, it feels like you're like running on ice.

Like you're about to fall over at any. The whole time. Yeah. Yeah, I'd way rather just... It's impossible to slow down. Just a normal treadmill is fine. Huh. I'll tell you what I'll never be at the gym.

Is the guy just getting reps? the punching bag like there's only one punching bag in the whole gem and he's taking it over and just punching bag so I don't even know if I've recognized this guy

yeah they got it a lifetime really just one punching bag and every now it'll be a guy there just like and actually most of them they're not going that hard he just kind of dodged a few punches he's more working on his moves back

yeah go hit it again and really yeah it feels like a very much attention thing oh yeah I was gonna say that sounds like actually kind of fun

on like a Sunday at 9.30. Nobody's there. But you're saying you don't ever want to do it in front of other people. No, specifically. Like, that's why you would never do it. Not because of like the workout itself. No, boxing is a great workout.

Yeah. But no. Just like to take over the one punching bag. I'm the only one in here hitting anything. Right. I feel like I just, it would be weird. I need to be in a boxing scenario. Or like in a Christmas finished basement.

Yeah. But not there. Yeah. We're in the ghetto. And I'm in San Diego. What about, okay, would you rather do punching bag? bar over the shoulder stairmasters or self-propelled treadmill for five minutes long time it's loud yeah uh five minutes on any any of these dude those are all kind of brutal

might do stairmaster with with the bar with the bar with a bar might do stairmaster with a bar yeah is a punching bag guy does he have gloves on yeah yeah that comes prepared it's not like a spontaneous maybe we'll hit the bag today lifetime doesn't doesn't provide those though I'm assuming. Oh, I don't know. Okay. Anyway, be on the lookout, man. There's a guy every now, then.

Came into punch. That's a cool workout. I feel like you've got to be a cool guy. You think? I think you've got to dress kind of different, too. You can't just look like this. You've got to have like sweatpants on. Yeah.

Like a couple different pairs of socks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something that says Everlast on it. Yeah. Gold's gym. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Gold's gym would work.

Do you all follow KB, the Christian rapper? No. I know who he is. met him once he's always working out in a ring and he's already pretty cool looking but he looks so sick really yeah yeah like a boxing ring working out yeah oh wow oh yeah I gotta give me one of those that seems like a hard thing to like lightly dip your toe in like I'm gonna start working out in a boxing ring and I'll post about it yeah sick like I feel like I'm so far away from being able to like I'm not close submit myself to a boxing ring like like like

Jim, gym membership. Yeah, I got to be able to go to the gym without my, like, AI companion telling me what to do. That's probably just, like, the first step, just knowing what to do on my own. Oh, man. Anyway, yeah, I had a little stand-up show Friday night, so I got to the lake late.

Sure. But got to it in Bolivar, which is fun, where I went to college, where I first learned about cup pong. Yeah. And Cup pong champ of the dorm. Cup pong champ, that never, ever, ever. That was the winner.

But always fun to be there. You know, there's obviously some material when you're in your college town, and it's a little, easier, but it was at a church and everyone was super nice. David Harris's parents were there. Honestly, my parents came, my grandma came. It was more of a reunion for them than it was made. There weren't that many people there that I knew, but they knew a ton of people. My old advisor was there and she introduced me. So it was a fun little gig. But it was also like still a private gig in like a church that's like, you know, half full or something.

In fact, when I got on stage, I felt bad doing this, but I was like, all right, we're going to have a good show. yeah, I do a couple jokes. I'm like, could we actually, I'm sorry, could we actually like turn down the house lights? Oh, okay. Because it was just so bright. It looked like it was high noon in there. It was like, oh, we got to turn these off. I promise this is going to make things better. So halfway, like, or whatever, a couple minutes in. Yeah. Nice. Could we turn down the lights? Good for you. Yeah. I talk about that sometimes like different, but the same. Like leading worship, sometimes my guitar is out of tune. And like after a song is over and I know it's out of tune. I'm like, I need just give me a second. I'm going to tune my guitar. My car is out of tune.

It's just better for everybody. Yeah. Like, even though it's a little bit awkward for X amount of 30 seconds or something. Yeah, I promise is going to enhance your experience. That's good. Right before I went on stage, my dad let me know. He was like, what's this charity for exactly?

And I'm kind of telling a little bit. And I was like, why? And he's like, ticket price was $75 to get in. I was like, jeez, I didn't know that. Some expectations for me now. And so that was actually one of the first jokes I did. It was like, and for the, just so we can. You know, right off the bat, I didn't know the ticket price to see me perform

is going to be $75. I am not a $75 comedian. I am like a canned food drive. I'm a green beans donation comedian. I'm a Meals on Wheels kind of guy. Yeah, I'm green beans only. This is above my level. So lower your standards.

Let's just say I hope dinner was good. Was it a dinner in the show or just? It was dinner. It was dinner. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So, but it was really fun.

Yeah, I'm trying to think what else. It was, I will say, scan in the room. was like it was pretty old like just the crowd was old so yeah i know you know if everything was going to hit but no i did some new material and i was fun some new stuff about rachel some new stuff about the house and a couple other things and it went well i got off stage feeling like yeah it was a bit rusty i don't think i forgot anything no that's fun you know i went 45 minutes private gig i think i had everything down i think it went okay and then my dad it was so nice he's like that was the best set you've ever done i was like really i love that oh yeah best

what you've ever done like the best like yeah like not like oh you were right you were humming just like normal it's like no that was the greatest thing i've ever seen it's like that's awesome that's really nice yeah he said it multiple times at first i was like you're saying that but yeah i think he means it so i love that it was fun what would would make it a rusty or like like like why would you say like oh i had some times like like fumbling over your words or like timing there's a little bit of a lack of confidence in the beginning just because i was starting it off kind of differently like You know, my normal set is like, I built some context with Trey and I's working relationship and I do some jokes on Trey. So anytime I'm not with Trey, it's a little bit of like, this doesn't feel like I'm doing it right.

I think I am, but, you know, it's a little lack of confidence and the lights. And I feel like there was something at the beginning that I got weird. I think the opening mom crowd work was a little weird. So, you know, just a little bit of lack of confidence. Like, all right, you got to get them back a little bit. And then maybe like the first joke that's like even like slightly PG. I feel like didn't hit. And so then you get in your head or like.

Is this how it's going to be? I got some more jokes coming. A crazy conservative crowd where they're not going to like my joke about getting to first base maybe later. You know, you're kind of pivoting. So there were a few pivots I did live. But yeah, just you get your head a little bit. You know, I'm just like, I want this to be the best possible show for this crowd. I'm not just going to be one of those.

Like I do my stuff. I do my stuff. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Phone it in. Mail it in. But, yeah, I'm dad. I was complimentary.

I might have been a little too mean one guy. I mean, I was having fun doing some crowd work. And he'd already told me his wife was. He's a mechanic. What's your wife do? I want to say receptionist? I was like, you don't know your wife does? We're having fun.

And then I was like, if you guys go to SBU, oh, I know I asked him out. I said, how'd you guys meet? He said playing ninja. I was like, that is the most Bolivarer SBU answer I've ever heard. You met playing ninja. It's hard to describe it if you don't know it,

but it's just a cheesy youth group game. Oh, that was another thing. I'm telling the story in reverse. I was like, how'd you and your wife meet? He said, playing a youth game. I was like, how old were you? Yeah. You're being weird?

And then I was like, did you go to SBU? And he's like, no, I didn't go to college. I was like, oh, duh, mechanic. Yeah. And I was like, that might have been a little too mean. I don't know if the crowd loved that. But he came up to afterwards. He's a good sport.

Yeah, I feel like sometimes people in those crowds maybe are like, that's pretty funny, but I can't laugh at that. I know his dad. Yeah, that poor guy. And I don't know about that. But dang, that's pretty funny. But no, it was fun. when I got done performing, there was an auctioneer performing after me.

And so I had a front row seat to this guy screaming for about 30 minutes. What was the high ticket items? It was just a big sale, but this is the main charity. So it's like, I talk to a champ, talk to the job, jab, jab, jab, jam, jam, jam, yeah, pop to ham, bam, fap. Oatmeal raisin. But, I mean, people were, came ready to donate. I mean, carrot cake was going for 125 bucks. Let's go.

You know, I was like, everyone's just, I don't even care about the people weren't giving me cupcakes, so. Who contacted you for this gig? This is a girl who I knew from Bolivor. We weren't even at SBU at the same time, but she was like living there while I was a student there. And shout out Katie. Okay.

She works at the church or goes there or something? Yeah, it works, volunteer. She's like on the board for this ministry. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. They got a good thing going on there in Bolivar community outreach ministries. And I forgot to get the check. So it was really a charity event for everyone.

So your parents will have another reunion sometime soon. Go grab that for you. That's great. You're just ready to go. You're like, I got to go to the lake. I gotta go see Sam swim I gotta go see my boy Sam swam Whaleale

Got a couple whale tails in the dock with my name on them The whale tails and NAs waiting for me If you know what I mean So Bill tails in NAs I got Lunch yesterday with a guy And he

Has some fun stories with you Sam He's like oh you got to Sam's on the podcast tomorrow You got to ask Sam About the mission trip we did in Chicago So would you mind telling everyone about what happened to you in Chicago? I think it's hilarious that he said that. I think it's a pretty core memory for him.

He was like, oh, my favorite memory of Sam. I honestly love that. And really the only story is we're doing this K-Life mission trip thing. You know, we're in like the projects, hardball style. Brian's so jealous. I'm sending Brian pictures. He's so mad. Um, and so we're like staying at this church that doesn't have showers.

And so we have to go to like the community, you know, Wrexon or whatever, which is pretty intimidating. And, uh, their shower set up is, you know, old school, giant room, nozzles up on the wall, whatever. It's me. How old are you? Like, freshman or sophomore in high school. Jeez. And you got a shower in like this. I mean, it's like fresh out of, you know, five o'clock hoops or something.

Like, it's packed. We're in projects in Chicago. And it's, yeah, it's little Andy Oliver and I and a couple other guys or whatever. And, I mean, just so timid and so scared. I bet, dude. It was, yeah, it was a little disheartening. and yeah walked a little bit shorter that day

it was very eye-opening I mean it's one thing for you to have to like shower in what sounds like a soup kitchen but the fact that it was like a community shower at 15 years old like with adults you're like I'm wearing my trucks next time

I don't care what anybody says I don't care what anybody says just yeah acne up and yeah right see that out of the corner of my eye got your wranglers on still anybody leave behind these jeans those are my shorts

thanks that's so funny yeah it was like the second I brought up your name he's like oh my gosh you got to ask Sam about it really yeah he like that's so great I gotta give him a call Andy if you're listening reach out

reach out brother I do love like like hearing people's random memories like that of you like yeah I was never the one I was gonna say dude yeah of all the things we did that's what you think of first because you probably have a different memory of Andy like yeah you know whatever he's like oh yeah that's right we but I thought I forgot about that one I was always thinking about the shower in Chicago that's so funny I remember my dad and I one time the one time we went to New York in the summer was I guess we didn't talk about the podcast sorry what we talked about New York in the summer before we did New York and summer and we stayed at a one

YMCA, like right in your time square. Yeah, it was awesome. It was like, I don't know, looking back, I don't know, it was awesome. Whatever, I'm not going to say it's not awesome. It's also when I discovered Ben Rector, so I listen to Ben Rector, disarm the old, old Ben Rector. Everyone's loving your Norman recommendation. Good job. Yes, thank you.

Have you heard Norman? No. It's like Ben Rector's secret band. Oh, no. Dude, it's so good. Oh, awesome. It's so good. Check him out.

I love some throwback Ben. Yes. So I was listening to that on my video iPods. I'm going to sleep at, you know, YMCA, like right near Times Square, basically. But they had community bathrooms in there. And I just remember having to go to the bathroom before, like, getting ready for bed and going this bathroom. And there was this guy who knows what nationality he was, because I'm, you know, from Kansas.

But he wasn't, he wasn't black and he wasn't, you know, Hispanic, whatever. Sort of blackjack dealer. Some kind of European of some sort. Yeah. And he was washing his fish that he was about to eat in this, like, community bathroom sick. and I just thought like this this is not I'm not in Kansas anymore basically I just start clicking your heels yeah I was like bin rector please give me back that is so New York somehow it was but it was awesome it was like this tiny little room we slept on this bunk bed in this tiny room it was great it was right next to the action did you like start up a job so uh is that is that eel or group group group nice nice sea bass like brush so the gripper you excited to see me

grubber hardly know her all right good night yeah did not talk to that guy I don't even know if I went in all the way it's wild yeah but it just felt so like

this is not this is America but it's like a melting pot of America versus my version of America where I get in trouble if I ask a girl if he lives in a ghetto you know so so different yeah Have you seen those people who will, like, cook fish on an airplane?

No. I've not. That sounds insane. Yeah. Somehow, I guess, I don't know the rules on what you can bring on airplanes, but in some lands, you can bring, like, fish. And people, like, go to the bathroom and just, like, turn it on, like, hot or whatever, and they'll do some. Turn what on hot? The water?

The water. Yeah. And they'll, like, cook a fish in an airplane bathroom. It's crazy. Oh, that's got to smell. awful terrible yeah it's been on my algorithm lately it's been on my to-do list for a while now it's more of a bucket list thing wow no that's that's that's that's diabolical is what that is that's like that's so mean to everybody to to do the three flights after you that's mean like

that fish is sticking in that like just yeah that's that's that's a nasty fish geez uh what do you guys on three you guys are going to tell me that universal time that Americans eat dinner. All right. One, two, three. Six. Fourty-five.

Oh, six o'clock. Six-45. I asked this because the hospital, like, cafeteria that Catherine would go get her food at, at which Catherine would go get her food.

Excuse me. Thank you. Of which, of course, she, whom, would get her food. She, her would get her food. Close at seven o'clock. And I'm like,

I think that seven o'clock. is a very common time for people to eat dinner. I don't think that's when you should be closing by any means. I agree. So, I don't know. That's all. I just, I just,

I just thought that was kind of fishy. Not like that. Uh-oh. Not like cooking fish, but, um, I don't know. I was just like,

it's one thing to, I don't know, it just seven o'clock seems like a pretty universal time like that people could eat dinner. Maybe it's more of like a, if we're going out, we're eating at seven. What time should a coffee shop close?

now that's a question coffee only we got pastries we got we got hot food kitchen hot fish I think any coffee shop that closes before

4 o'clock kind of bothers me you think 4 is appropriate I think 4 I'm not getting mad at 4 yeah I think 4 is appropriate I think a coffee shop that closes at 2 sometimes though I'm in a groove at 11 o'clock

12 o'clock 1 o'clock 1.30 What the heck yeah you close it too what am i supposed to do for the next three hours before i'm supposed to be done with my work oh i actually don't agree i think they should be open later even pass four yeah which is fine i'm saying even people getting home from work they want a coffee on the way home i think we we had a little dub date with a couple and uh we weren't you know really feeling drinks or anything so we went to uh what is that one they've got like games and stuff we went to a coffee shop

that was open oh uh prairie or prairie yeah maybe yeah maybe well It has like the games connected to it. Got some decaf, played some games. It was like 8.30. I know. It was awesome. I love that. I'm not disagreeing that it should be open late.

I just think that if it's not open till at least four, I'm upset. That's the minimum. Yeah. Open. Like I don't know what time Starbucks closes by, but it's nine or ten. Yeah. I like that for sure. I agree.

And I like, because I'm not a drinks guy, I'm all about the idea of like either dessert or coffee. Yeah. I think that's fun. It's also relaxing to go to a coffee shop when you're not working. Just hang. Also true. It's awesome.

So nice. I'm looking Main Street Roasters. They close at 9 p.m. That's how it's done. That's how it's done. That's why we love them. That's why we love them. Joyful Java.

He's ghosty. So say yes. Of course. He went to Branson, met him there. And then he was in town, met up for Culvers, had a great conversation with McColvers, two and a half hours, just hanging out talking. Wow. I don't know if it was out of it. It was a while.

Had a great conversation. Serious. And then I noticed when I got home that my rowback hoodie, not like a t-shirt, Ro-back hoodie was completely inside out. The roebuck logo is like sticking out of it. You see the stitching? The hood's kind of weird. Like, dude, I have, I forgot to ever address that to him.

So Preston, sorry about that. My bad, dude. He was probably the whole time thinking, he looks weird. This guy's trying to tell him about his life. All right. I will go ahead and go with vanilla coke as my first pick. Hang it. So good, dude.

Vanilla Coke out of the can. Yes. Mm-mm-mm. So good. Something about it. Yeah. So I get two? You get two.

Okay. Got to go DC, number one. D.C.? Diet Coke. Aspartame and all. Yeah, bring it on. Yeah. Coke.

all right my two i'm going to go c z coke zero good answer really good pick doesn't have the dangers of aspartame like sams it has different danger because it's zero sugar there's nothing in it just coke and then stay within the family cherry coke great yep great on my list yeah solid i mean it's a great drink it's a great drink dude uh all right um my next one i'm going to go with a little sasparilla, aka I can't believe Sam left that out there. A bottle, a bottle of IBC root beer. I wrote

that down exactly, bottled rubier. Specifically, if you can have it at the end of a can of cuck party, that would be the best. It's truly nothing better. So good, dude. Than whatever root beers they get at camp. Yes, dude. It's amazing.

It's because you got a watermelon in one hand, you just got dancing with some, you know, kitsy coma and just like some little Philly.

Diet ice cream. If you weren't so nice, Sam, I would say that's not a soda. I could tell. I saw your reaction live. Yeah. You watched it. I hope I didn't have the camera on you. I hope it was.

I hurt Brad so much. I hurt him. No, no, no. That's great. It's great. You got one more. Sprite. Okay, yeah

Sprite Go with Sprite Classic Yeah, it's great If you're trying to make a little Shirley-Tipple or if you're like Have an upset stomach Yeah

I don't have Sprite enough But when I do it It does hit It is nice You know, I was shocked That like The sugar amount And a Sprite and a Coke is the same

They'd feel like Sprite's way better for you Or maybe not Quite as much But Oh, I thought it was Maybe the opposite I thought maybe Sprite More

Yeah I don't know. Some of how to not being brown. It does feel better for you. Yeah. Yeah. What about Shasta? You don't remember those?

Yeah, we had Shasta. Some black cherry Shasta. It's so many flavors. My last pick, tough, tough. I'm going to go with the good old-fashioned Coca-Cola classic. Just regular Coke.

If I could choose it, it would be from McDonald's. Well, Coke-Cove heavy. Coke heavy But I do like I do like a good old classic Coke It hits in the right way sometimes Yeah

I don't I I went back and forth I was like I already got a Coke on my list But have to stay true All right My last pick Can't believe it's still on the board Going to go with Mountain Dew Code Red

Ah I was thinking about it I was thinking about it That's good A great drink Somehow stood the test of time They were I mean Mountain Dew was really cranking out the flavors but code red felt like it was like the original oh yeah

the original alternative and they nailed it with that one and yeah it's still around Baja Blast has never done it for me people love the memes and the jokes about talk about Baja Blas but I agree I would much rather have regular Mountain Dew yeah I agree and then Mountain Dew Road on top of that uh any honorable mentions any any other ones that didn't get picked you ever have red cream soda you ever see that yes I don't think I've ever had that kind of like almost like a bubble gumish I kind of yeah I silence my notifications on my messages I was so proud of that

good job and now Facebook messenger is sending me something looks like you haven't sold its item yet would you like to renew it yeah go ahead go ahead then strawberry just a good strawberry soda strawberry soda kind of slept on

people go orange and grape I feel yeah I feel like though like the strawberries the pineapple like those phantas if you ever did a mission trip in Mexico And it was like, go down to the store, down the road, use some of your pesos to get some of those. Cold drinks, those things here. Diet Diet Dr. Pepper is a classic of mine. This one's a little bit more niche, a little bit more like, oh, Brad.

Strawberry vanilla olipop. Love olipop, specifically that flavor. Okay. I had cream soda olipop on my list. I don't love that one. Really? I want to like it more than I do. Yeah.

It's not bad. I enjoy it. But, yeah, we like the lollipop in our family. That's all I got, though, as far as armibles. You have any more? I didn't have anything left other than weird red green soda. No, I don't think so. That just about covers it.

Swores of soda. That's great. Sam's episode. Samson. I don't know if I'm going to be able to fully paint this picture, but I'm going to try. I had a moment. And I'm not going to use the word spiritual necessarily, but like what's what's one level below spiritual moment um it might a musical moment you had an

ethereal moment euphoric euphoric maybe i don't know so paint the picture a little bit i have this just all this crazy stuff with bow happening like we knew before all that happened that like this is a very busy time for brad right now like i have all like this huge woodworking order that i'm working on also trying to do Gulf Shore stuff also trying to whatever just do all these different things um and so then add this other thing on it's like a lot and then there's the emotional side of like seeing your son and just like terrible agonizing paint whatever all these different things uh so i think it was probably bow had to go to the hospital Thursday I think it was Friday afternoon maybe Friday yeah I think Friday afternoon because I let my I dropped my kids off

at my aunt's house so I was by myself in the wood shop working on this uh order. And for whatever reason, I don't remember the last time I did this, but I listened to Leonard Skinner. I was like, it feels like a Leonard Skinner kind of day. Yeah, summertime. So as when the Leonard Skinner's greatest hits, shuffle played on Spotify, let it run. And it was, you know, Freebird comes on probably, you know, 45 minutes into the session. Uh, and if you know, freebird, you know, it's just like it, it's obviously just an iconic song, but it builds and it build and it builds and it's just like and as it's building it's like lord knows i can't change you know it's doing lord help me i can't change is going over and over again and as it's going

i'm like kind of feeling this song where is this going most like feeling like the weight of like everything going on like this is a stressful time i'm just like sweating my baguettes off in the shop And as like, as it's like getting going, because like that's the part right before the guitar solo. So it's like, Lord help me. And like as it's like doing all this stuff like outside, it starts like rumbling and like thunders going off. And I don't think I'm over dramatizing this. It was just like, blah. Lord knows I can't say.

And literally, dude, it was. It was like. And then like like, it was like almost like this like passionate like. Just, like, getting this, like, aggression out. And then finally, like, right as the guitar solo comes on, it was like, Lord, help me, I can't change, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, right as the guitar comes down, it just starts raining. And it was just like, yeah, let's go.

Like, it was like, it was like this moment of just like, oh, like it was, I'm not acting like, like, like, just like the skies open up and it poured down rain. But it was like, it was like raining and like thundering. And it was like just like this. like I just had all this like I don't know I kind of compartmentalize the whole bow experience to an extent of like I just got stuff I got to do so I'm not thinking about it and then all of a sudden when that song came on it was just like here we go like I don't know so it's fun when things like that happen when it feels like you and like God are in sync yeah did we and that's what I'm saying I don't know if it was

spiritual but maybe it was like maybe it is like the Lord being like it's like the rain feels like yes the Leonard Skinner part feels like I don't I don't know if Freebirds. I was like, I don't know, I don't really know the meaning of freebirds. I don't know if that's biblical. If it's theologically accurate. Yeah, Lord. Yeah. So anyway, I was viving to it in the shop. It is fun when, yeah, certain things work like that. Or even just like coincidence is happening. You're by yourself. You're like, it's going to be hard to tell people this story, but this was pretty cool. Yes. How this happened. Yes. It really was. So not the same thing at all, but we just as past weekend, we found that we each have this story of hitting an animal with a small rock that's like extremely unlikely.

It's like, those are hard stories to tell. But it's like, you would not believe what it took for me to pull this off. Yeah, yeah. God was in those rocks. Yeah. Literally 100%. That's awesome. So Leonard Skinner, everyone be listening to the Leonard Skinner this week.

Dude. Hopefully the rain falls down. It was awesome. It was just like, because there's something cool about like just thunder in general, like when the thunder starts rumbling, but it's not raining yet. Storm rolling in. Yeah, storm's rolling in. Yeah, it was fun.

And you just have a good setup. Like in summertime, it's a night out, and you got the doors up open. Both the doors are open. Yeah, it was actually like afternoon time. Yeah. It was great. That's nice. Anyway, yeah.

Anything else you want to talk about? Let's do our, uh, same we can be thinking every week we do. Since this comes out on Wednesday, we do a win of the week. Something fun, positive, cool that happening this week. You'd be thinking of yours. My win of the week is that, Rachel had her last day of summer on Monday. She's officially back at school.

She's pretty crazy. And if she hadn't changed school, she would have been back a week earlier. Wow. That's crazy. It doesn't feel like that yet. Yeah, it's not loud. Yeah.

Kind of. And anyway, so we had a nice last night of summer, hung out all day, went to the French market. I don't know if you've ever been there for dinner. But I was packed inside. So we were like, yeah, we'll sit outside. We're sitting outside.

And I mean, it's really hot. It's really humid. and you know we can't believe no one else sitting outside and rachel goes that's crazy this is like my perfect temperature and i was like be for real this is not the perfect temperature like this is last night this is like two nights ago okay i was like hot pretty much everyone on the internet in kent city is complaining about how overly hot he would like no this is like perfect and i went and looked at the heat index when she said it was perfect

outside and it was 107 oh my gosh and that is she was like this is just this is how i wish i could live every day okay it's like you need to get medicated yeah i don't i don't know if i agree with that rachel but i i would i'm i'm kind of i don't like the heat yeah it also supposed to be like dude this this blows my mind when people say that they like or prefer the heat really yeah extreme heat or extreme cold you're going extreme cold oh yeah really i just sweat all the time and so like i mean july is is bad for me me. I don't have a win in the week because of that. It's too hot. When the week is, let's see, December is coming up. I guess it is different. Like, I talked

last week about how, like, when you sweat, though, it feels productive, even though it doesn't make sense. But toxins. There's nothing worse than, like, sweating when you're not supposed to be sweaty. Dude, yeah. And that's, that's probably more you're, like, if I'm out in the wood shop, sweating, it's like, it's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. It feels like you're like, look at me, go. Yeah. But if it's like, go, Brad, go. You're just at a meeting at work and you're walking two blocks to meet this guy. And you're like wiping sweat off your brow like, oh, yeah? Yeah.

Tallahassee. That's pretty cool. Oh, no. We could definitely help you guys out. What kind of digital ads are you guys currently running? Yeah. Really? Okay.

You guys do banner ads or just? Do you like dabbing? Yeah. Sorry. I had, I should have got ice coffee. Anyway, yeah, one of the week. that time with Rachel slash her comment I couldn't believe it's 107

right now that is fun my one of the week overarching is just Bo I mean just Bo being home and like just that I have other great things that happened to me and fun things but like nothing compares to that and yeah one of the week is just

him being home I don't know nothing I'm not I'm not trying to like reinvent the wheel here I love my kids and so therefore my kids are sick and now they're not sick anymore. Like, it was awesome, though, like, seeing him feel better, like, watching him feel. Because he was, like, a shell of himself for a while. Like, kind of even the way he walked was just kind of sad.

I mean, you just tell he's just hurting. And, like, now finally, after, like, over a week, like, he's finally, like, starting to be himself again, which is so fun. So, yeah, it's my win. No wins for you, huh? Too hot. I've got some wins. Let's see.

Let's see. Sunday. Well, I guess this past weekend. camp getsman whale tailing with with the besties big dub and then ashlin and i came back and the gym that i go to was doing like a faith and fitness night oh cool which they haven't done before and that was fun and i've been i've been going to this gym for like two and a half years and i've been begging ashlin to come do spouses get a free month and like she's never done it before and so that was her first time and going in doing a little crossfit and it was awesome oh so

you're are you crossfit guy uh i'm not crossfit guy per se don't say that yeah no one wants to be crossfit guy no this gym is great uh and they they changed the name of the like class from crossfit to strengthen conditioning because it's not you know hard o crossfit but okay crossfit elements yeah It's so impressive that you guys got done with a weekend at the lake and then went and did a workout that night. Because we crashed so hard. I mean, it was a four-hour drive back. That was a long drive back.

True story. Rachel and I both took a nap, Sunday afternoon. We were so gasped. And when I woke up, Rachel was still asleep. So I guess I don't totally know when she fell asleep. But she slept for so long that night that I did like a wellness check on her.

Like I went to like make sure she was like breathing. Really? It was like 10 p.m. I was like, is she been asleep like six hours? Like, is she okay. Wow.

She's doing fine. Someone to bed that night like midnight. She just, yeah, just was struggling for a little bit. Yeah. Did she go, she was doing CrossFit and a hat?

Did you go self-drive mode on the way back? Yeah, took a nap for a half of it. It was awesome. What was it just far into the lake? Shellnub. Oh, that's like by camp.

Yeah, it is. It's really goes to be. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah, it's far. Anyway,

quick comment of the week. Yeah, my comment is from Allie two days ago on Spotify. I just thought this was so funny. Honestly, when Hattie filled in for Timon, I was like, wow, timing's job is so easy. Haddy just did it. Dot, dot, dot.

And then no one has even come close to her skill level sense. That's funny. My comment is about timing too. Will just didn't really change the camera too much, which is fine. I think he was invested in the conversation, which is great. He was. No one could question whether he was invested in this room. Will's one of a kind.

Oh, and thanks. Quick aside. Thank you for so many people have been very. encouraging about table setters. So thanks for listening to that. Yeah. That's out. Yeah. How many people listen? Will guessed what, 12? You guessed 80? Yeah, I guess 100 something. And I think I looked at one point. It was over 100. So we're on our way. We're on our way, boys. So anyway, that's really fun. Yeah. Congrats. It's always fun to launch something. It is fun. You're right.

Big, small. It's just fun. Yeah. My comment also mentions timing. Debbie said, when is timing coming back? I miss him so much. I get it. I can't wait for him to be back. Boy, do we miss him. Yeah. I talked to him here and there, but not a ton of out of days. He did sit as a picture of him eating a bowl of cereal and watching the office. That's right. I haven't heard any more about how that went, but that was a fun picture to get.

And I think you could tell it was the first episode. It's first episode, and it looked like Lucky Charms. It looked like a good bowl, but in like a styrofoam bowl. You were analyzing the cereal. Yeah, it looked good. Dude, that was one thing. I just let the kids go to town on cereal whenever Catherine was in the hospital with Beau. And I think I spoiled Rosie.
