Hey, hey, happy Monday, ghosties. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Monday, Monday, ghost days. Just a funny. One, two, how are you? What'd you do? Sounds like you're doing like mic check, but also Mad Gabba at the same time. One, two, how are you? Good morning.

Good morning. How are ghosties doing day? It's gonna figure it's hard. It's gonna be a go, I go, dad. A good day Is gonna Is gonna be a good day You're really good at pretending

Like you're in the middle of a Madgam That's a funny trait I don't think I've played in 20 years But man when I played Madgab I played it I've had some rounds I've had some reps Ghostie Getaway

Maybe we do a little MadGam Let's get back to it yeah That would be a fun game Of like I don't know It's almost like a zoo exhibit We watch other people Behind closed doors play

Madgab, and it's like, are they actually playing it or is Brad faking it? Is he actually playing Madgab or are they just pretending? or they're just making it up. Okay, hear me out. Madgab, Gabe Oliver, speech jammer. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much every idea I've written down for games to play involves the speech jammer. Yeah.

It's like talent show, prethesis, speech jammer. This game, catchphrase. But with speech jammer, yeah. Frisbee golf. but with speech jammer it would mess up your rhythm your cadence what do you think about this idea none of this is what we were planning on talking about hey hey hey one two and then we'll introduce our new podcast producer for this week soon um I this idea and it was inspired by I don't think anything but a reverse talent show so it's like are you got five people on your team pick out

something you're like really bad at and like show it off like I was thinking like this was inspired by me like I would go up and like try to like swallow a pill in the first try and everyone just like laugh at me like getting choked up trying to do it celebrating like the things that you're most embarrassed it's like a humility show yeah rather than a talent show like hey I'm willing to say like I'm not that great at singing I'm gonna give my best shot that's pretty fun we all just kind of get to laugh at it I guess yeah sure there's some risks as long as there's not like a deep seated like I actually felt a lot of shame from all these people laughing at me so you got to you got to find you got let them pick the person though and then

it's fine yeah I don't think it's like everyone has to do this it's like you're in a group of six so surely one of you is like confident and is like willing to do this like i i've never been able to do a push up it's like it's pretty funny to watch like you everyone just watches you struggle to do a push up yeah that'd be perfect hey i don't have a great relationship with my dad i'm like let me call what do you what do you see told you and ever just dies laughing man that would suck means that it's going down with some random thoughts in 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 of a podcast Everybody's morning will be taking around Ghost on a podcast Good for a podcast

Hey, hey I like that We might need to start starting that way Hey, we got a producer in the house. Who's her in the house? How do we want to? Last week on Monday, I saw a comment that said, loving all these new friends and producers every week.

How fun would it be if a ghosty did it one time? And so we said, ghosty one time. Ghosty one time. Hey, hey. His name is Caleb. Caleb. Sullivan. Flew in.

Flew in. Last night. Tampa. Caleb Sullivan is here, host of Ghosties on Second. Now a producer on the Ghostroars podcast. Co-host of his family. Co-host of his family for beautiful children. Co-host.

For one beautiful wife. And a beautiful hookup for Holiday Inn. Anytime we want to stay there. Oh, yes. Yes. So Caleb, welcome to the show, brother. You're here. Thank you for having me, guys.

Yeah, it's an honor. It's been a blast so far. Are you nervous to be in? here? Are you excited? How are you feeling? My heart is racing right now. I'm not going to lie. That's because you've got two coffees. Yeah, I was going to say that was probably part race. Yeah, we went, the boys took me to McLean's before the pod this morning. And it was delightful.

Yeah. But I had the market latte, which was great. Yeah. And gave me a buzz. And then I ordered, I was like, man, Scott was really talking up that lavender latte. So let's just get one for the road. Yeah. And so I only drank about a quarter of it, but. I'm pretty... You're buzzing. You're buzzing for those beans. It makes sense.

Speaking of Scott, he just sent me a selfie. He and his entire family, family three, no banks. He, his wife, and Palmer, had been asked to model for a Christian radio station. Okay. Now, on paper, this is very exciting. To just get asked out of the blue, hey, you got a good-looking family.

Yeah? Dude, nice haircut. Hey, loved you in Top Gun. I love for you to model for my radio station. Yeah. And then as you dig just slightly deeper, you think, is this something you should be excited about? How low did they go? Like, how many other people did they ask before they got to you?

And it's the radio. You have a modeling face for radio. You know what, not as you, your whole family would be perfect for radio. Yeah, yeah. I mean, your son, he's not even good enough for radio. We'll save him. We'll save him for later. Wait, so he's just, he's modeling.

What, okay. What's he, did he get to choose his own outfit? So they said neutrals And Scott's like I don't do neutrals I know I think his whole family Was like we don't have neutrals

So Scott was giving us updates With this whole weekend We spent in New York City of like Sam bought like some new pants And had to buy a new outfit for Palmer Like they've actually not made money Off this modeling gig They've spent more money than they will earn

From modeling in it But the experience that they get And this will lead to more gigs I mean can you imagine all the pamphlets That they're passing out for this radio station Yeah like where who They're posting the newspaper probably what's the distribution of a radio modeling gig yeah i'm trying to think of all like

the outdated ways outdated media sources park benches uh newspapers there's a you can fax it like you can you can you can receive it in a faxed you listen to 99.3 uh i think zanga's picking them up maybe my space has a little bit of a you know targeted ads with them maybe like a really low billboard like not one of the nice ones but it's like yeah this is 40 bucks a month yes you can have it for the radio go ahead yeah um so we'll see but yeah he sent me a selfie and i said keep us posted we're recording the podcast right now and i'm sure brad will want to know how modeling goes so here's here's how scott does neutrals here's what i'm predicting is he's like oh okay white's neutral and so he's going to come in like white jeans i'm serious i think scott

would wear like he's got he's got to find somewhere of like making it a little bit of a flare don't you think that's pretty funny can you totally see him like wearing white jeans what white's neutral white jeans and a gray shirt dude like 100% like skinny white jeans and just like black shoes dude he brought his his black rainbow road shoes to new york and multiple people complimented them again it's funny it's like once he gets outside of the city limits people love him but no one inside of this town listen he's asking for the compliments so people are like i don't know what else to tell you man nice shoes i guess that's what it is i'm just no just yeah you work at packaging hmm okay

Cool shoes, dude. Yeah, yeah. So you, you, like, you order the plastic for your company. You do corrugated boxes? They do, like, polyethylene on the packet. Cool shoes. Yeah, man, those shoes are dope. Sure do you like those shoes, though.

Where'd you get those? Wow, they accentuate the white jeans you got on. Nice job. Anyway, good times in New York City this weekend. Tell me about them. What are your guys' thoughts on New York City? I've been to New York City one time One time

One time Went to go see Ben Rector Oh that's right dude It was this awesome rooftop concert at like the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge This place called Pier 17 It was legit But we got there a couple days early

And we went during Pride Month I'll sleep at that Okay Yeah It was a good time Well New York is pretty conservative Right Yeah

It's like the Florida of the Northeast Yeah Yeah, the new mayor they just elected, I think. That was his big thing. Okay. Keep New York conservative. Like, he's one of those guys that you could just tell, like, that guy goes on a hunting trip every year.

Like, or is the guy, I don't even know if it's a guy or girl. That guy love Shane Gillis, I bet. Yeah, for sure. I don't, I've been to New York in the summer one time back in the, one time. Hey, hey, one time. Hey, hey, one time went to a Yankees game with my dad after senior year of high school. And it was fun, but most of the time I've been in, like, the fall or winter. I've heard summers in New York are not great.

But overall, I really like it to visit. I think, I think it's, it's, there's an energy to a city. Like, it's just fun to be around that. It is a little intimidating at times. I try. Well, I don't like the feeling of people knowing I'm a tourist. Does that make sense? Like, it's tough.

Yeah, you go to like, when I, I was in Vietnam. I was like, I think they know. I'm going to try to blend in as much as I can. They might know. I feel like I'm giving it away somehow. Because you speak English.

Because I speak English. Yeah. I pronounce dong weird. Yeah. I, but at the same time, I think there's no way they're not going to tell them, I'm like a tourist because I think I look at people.

Yeah, and I care about others. Yeah. I think that's the main difference. It's just like no one would notice if I were, you know, naked on that. that street or not yeah and i'm like do that dude's naked what the heck what's going on with that

everyone's just like no problem um but i like new york it's fun yeah it's always like there's not that many cities in america that are like so heavily on the on the movies and on tv and stuff and so like when you go to new york it's just like oh it's just like we're in friends or it's totally you go through neighborhoods you're like this is the set of you right this is these brownstones correct in that word oh yeah i don't know that brownstones yeah i don't know if i could like hey which one's a brownstone which one's a yellow stone i could do that that's the national part uh but like yeah i don't know if i like really know what brownstones are besides just like it's a type of house in like a neighborhood tight neighborhood of a city

yeah but beyond that i don't i couldn't i couldn't say that's that's brownstone that's gothic cathedral true once i think it's just like quintessential brooklyn though yeah it's like but anyway yeah I will say, though, I don't want to, like, shoot it down because I, like you said, I loved visiting. Yeah. And I ran into somebody. I was, we were, like, leaving our hotel. The first two nights we stayed at, like, the tallest holiday in the world or something over by Wall Street. And then the second two nights you were there, we stayed closer to Times Square at this, like, Hotel Indigo.

And we're heading down the elevator, walking out the lobby. And then I notice somebody walking right next to me out of the same lobby. and he's walking on the street and I had to like kind of chase him down and be like, hey, David. And go. Ran into Todd Packard. Let's go.

Really. That's a good selfie. And he was just like a really kind guy. We talked for like 60 seconds and I just like let it go. Well, you know, he's a kind guy. Kansas City guy.

Did you know that? No, I didn't know that. We have very few celebrities from Kansas City. So he's probably like number six on the list. We have a lot of like B-list comedy actors. Yes. Cidakis has become. playlist guy. Yeah. Did I tell you? You saw him? He was on our flight. No. Yeah. Ted Lasso

was on our flight out to New York City. What? Yeah. I'm glad you brought that up. Might have forgot to mention that. Dang, dude. Really? Yeah. So we saw him in like the lobby or like getting ready to board. T.J. was like, dude, that's Jason Sedacas. That's it. Yeah. And so we're all looking. I'm like, holy cow. He's like getting on our flight. And I don't know how this works. I don't know what kind of like, but he like boarded before the pre-boarding. So, But you must have something arranged where, like, the plane just showed up. I think they're still cleaning it. And he, like, got on the plane because it was another 15 minutes before the next person boarded the plane.

And you weren't flying Southwest this time, correct? Correct. What? Why is that funny? No, because I just flew Southwest here. And I thought you were, like, joking about. Well, no, I mean, it is, like, it is always surprising because, like, Southwest does sometimes feel like it has cheaper flights. And so I didn't assume he was flying Southwest.

But that means that there's first class. It's not Southwest is where I was getting at, probably. So he was probably first class, and you didn't see him much after that. So, yeah, he boards a flight, and then we're all, like, gearing up, like, what do we do on the plane? You know, like, we're texting. All the other guys are like, you've got to give him a paddle. You know, so we go to board the flight, and Scott, like, has our big Friday pickle

bag. Instead of, like, wearing it on his backpack, he is holding it horizontal so that he can show them the word Friday. Scott's like, I'm going to show him the brand. They'll know. They'll understand. we go into this with this whole game plan I'm behind Scott he's holding his bag sideways

it just looks so funny and he's prepared to like reveal it to sedacas wherever he's sitting he's sitting in the second row and he could not be more you would have never known he was on this flight if we didn't see him board it he had his hood up

hat on sunglasses and just like up against the window he was like twiddling his mustache like this like you could just like see like part of the side of his eye really like part of his temple He did not want to talk to anybody. No, which is kind of like sad.

Not like that he's doing anything wrong. We're just like, man, he's, he's extremely recognizable and famous. Like, this is going to be miserable, I think, if people find out he's on this flight. Honestly, I was kind of surprised he's flying commercial. Like, but maybe, maybe I'm, maybe I have too high of a, or low of a caliber of who flies private. But I'm like, he's a big deal. Like in the right circle and makes a lot of money probably. Like, Ted Lassow made him a lot of money, I'm sure.

Yeah. So I'm like, surely he could afford to fly himself. But he's just down to Earth Can City guy. I mean, it probably adds up. If you're like, man, every time I travel, I'm going to fly private. True. It costs me $2 million a year just to get around. Dropping the bucket for my guy, Jason.

But either way. So I don't know if he saw the brand. Okay. We're not able to give him a paddle. Yeah, Scott's like, he's like up against the window and Scott's like trying to wedge the backpack in between him. So we have a Friday pickleball paddle for you if you want it. Look at this.

Here it is. Yeah. You see Scott like out on the tarmac. Yeah. Yeah. How did you get down there? Yeah. Very like dumb and dumber.

Isn't that why he doesn't dumb and dumber? Or no, he just falls. Fell off the jetway again. Yes. But yeah, that was kind of a fun little thing. Like New York,

baby. That is crazy. Yeah. The flight out there was a little interesting though. I feel like we were looking at the flight map and it's just like, I like woke up as we were like turning. So it was like, oh, maybe we're getting close.

And we were just like circling like, Columbus, Ohio. Because there were like storms in New York City. So it was like, well, don't run into the storm. Just hang out in Ohio for a little bit. Just delay it a little bit? So we just did like an hour of circles in like Ohio. An hour? Yeah. So you were, you were, you landed an hour later and you were anticipating. Yeah. Yeah. It was really interesting. Like when we landed in New York, I think we had, we had just like shot the gap of like two major storms because there was one that just got over and one that was happening. When we got there was like the board that shows all the flights, everything was canceled.

Every single flight out of LaGuardia was canceled. Not even delayed. And then we just landed. That kind of pumps me up. Yeah, I was like, dude, what did we just like dodge? Yeah. Like, what happened? Right. I don't know. I was kind of asleep. Like, what has happened? Yeah. That would be, that would be fun as a pilot being like, we got to, we got to calculate this thing perfectly. Yeah. If not, we could be in for it. Yeah. So I think we just shot the gap. That's awesome. Yeah. That was kind of cool. So was it rainy when you were there all day or?

A little bit. Yeah, it just rained a little bit like Thursday night and we got there. Okay. It was just, uh, it was great. Just, I mean,

right away, just feeling the, the vibes of New York. Had you even left the airport, still in like, like the parking garage area and saw a bus just side swipe a camera and then the bus driver's getting out

and we can't hear him, but he's doing the motions. Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's your fault. Uh, yeah. One, two. Well, if you want to park there,

a little zone. Yeah, a bus driving here. Yeah. Totally the camera's fault. Come on, it's only like $150. $100,000, I can get, I can get, I can get 95 slices for that. I don't know. That's more or less what they were saying, probably.

Yeah, probably. So, that was fun to see a car wreck and, uh, Scott's like, dude, this is crazy, man. This is what it's all about. It's so fun having Scott on trips like this. I mean, you guys know Scott's personality well enough by now. He just gets so excited about everything, which is just fun. Yeah.

You know, um, and there was a lot to get excited about. I didn't know. Scott is quite that he was kind of tizzing out on some of these uh he saw an aircraft carrier and like the fire down tiz oh tizzing out no yes i was like i don't know this term i figured it out all right go ahead he he saw an aircraft carrier that's like a museum now like an old like battleship or something and all these like planes on it dude is that an SR 71 he's like dude he does do like top gun yeah he does like uh how do you know about this even as a kid i feel like he was like he was like he had the replicas and stuff like that.

Not a ton. Yeah, I just didn't know this about him. Some of them. He's like, I want to say that's the fastest plane we've ever made. Looks it up 10 seconds later. Yep, yeah, Mach 3.4.

Nailed it. Yeah, that's our 7-1. So, I mean, when Scott, he's so excited about everything, it also gives you ammunition. Correct. To throw back at him when the time comes. Correct.

Yeah. That was fun. There's some cookie brand that he's obsessed with. Oh, really? Yeah. It wasn't crumb. ball it was like last somnia or uh we stayed right next to an insomnia but it was something french sounding laving something like that you know dude they have lavein here oh dude

it's like $18 for a cookie that has 1,200 calories he's like this is the best yeah so that was fun um so thursday night yeah we go we uber directly from the airport to this pickaball facility we go play yada yada and time to get back to Airbnb and so it's it's it's So it's like 11 something at night. We're starving, but we want to get back. And because we got an early day the next day. And so we're like, all right, let's just Uber back to the Airbnb. But I'm also going to dooredash.

Let's just get Chick-fil-A or something easy and try to time it. So it's also at the Airbnb waiting on us and we can eat dinner quickly. Yeah, you're trying to shoot the gap. We're shooting the gap too. It's about 60 seconds before we get to our Airbnb. And credit to Scott, he was like, Jake, are there any like check-in instructions we need to know since it's like raining out? I think sometimes you get to the Airbnb and then you realize, oh, I got. to do this and that or I got to message him until I'm looking and I've never seen anything like

this so it's just like it's like a series of like tasks that you have to do to get into the therapy and it's like first you're going to go to 430 Dean Street yeah you got to go like the lockbox that's not the address yeah yeah and then it's like all right there's a pen to get into the lobby from there you're going to find the lockbox there's a different pin to get in there's like an old bullfrog he's going to tell you a riddle never accept his first offer Yeah. All right. Play a hardball with this bullfrag. The riddle, the only, the answer to it is any word with three consonants. Okay. Come in with a game plan. Right. Don't try to improv this. Right. I mean, it's insane what it's laying out. And then we're like, we're pulling up like,

dang it. We're going to the wrong spot. My bad. I went to the address on the Airbnb listing. Apparently, we've been supposed to go to this separate address. That is very like Midwest versus New York, I think. Yes. A few times I've done it. Yeah, you'd have to like go to like a 7-11 that has a lockbox. They said, yeah, unlock this and like, yeah. Go to 7-Eleven. You're going to meet Sadiq. Right. Now, easier said than done.

It's hard to understand them. Yeah, but yeah, he will get you where he needs, where you need to go. And so then not only do I have to change the Uber address, I'm like, frick, I got a door dash order going to the address where we're not even staying. Yeah. Because this original address is made up. Yeah. It's not a real address. Everything was at the second address.

And so anyway. Oh, okay. So we're figuring all this out. Scott was very complimentary of how quick my thumbs were moving. He's like, dude, how did you get the door dash chain? I was like, I went into edit order and I put in the new address. He's like, dude, thumbs are moving tonight. He got five-o-thumbs.

And he's told us and five-o-thumbull. Everything's pick-ball terminology for the weekend. And so get it all switched. And this was the most Midwest part. We realized that the Chick-fil-A we'd been door-dashing from the whole time was across the street. You could hit a sandwich from where we're staying to the Chick-Fle-A. It's so embarrassing that we doored out. from there. You spent an extra $28. Yes. To get it. That what a rush for that guy. I'll just throw it to you. Yeah, dude. I'll just leave my bike here. Let me frisbee toss you these chick-flay sandwiches real quick. It was so embarrassing. We realized like, oh my gosh, it's right. I mean, it's like the distance. It's shorter from our houses. Really? Yes. It's amazing. It's closer than our houses are to each other. And we door dash. We're like, man, we are so Kansas right now. Your thumbs were moving, but you're my. I didn't know. I thought we were going to the first address. Synapses weren't fired as

fast as your thumbs were. So yeah, that was the, that was just a fun first night. It's like, this is great. We were just so out of place here. If I lived here for more than a few days, I would get eaten alive. I mean, this city would swallow me up. I'm not filled for this. Oh, you'd lose all your money. You know, yeah, you'd be spent too much on, yeah, taxis or Uber's or whatever. And that's crazy, man. I love that. Um, kind of on the same lines, whenever you were like saying, I was just going fast and Scott was so impressed. Uh, last night, uh, Caleb and I, after I picked him up from the airport, we went and got some Andy's,

went and hung out with Catherine for a little while out on the porch. It was a vibe. It was fun times. And Catherine told this story. She was like, oh, I don't know how it came up. But basically,

like, it's just Catherine being Catherine and so bad at technology. Or not even bad at technology, but like unwilling to like really give it a go. Like military Bob's wife, Alyssa was talking to her. And she's like, you know,

I figured out a hack where I have AI do all my, my meal planning for me. Okay. Meal plane is like a big thing for moms and whatever. Military families. Military families, they have to, you know, get their rations and, uh, heart tech. Yeah. What do they, what do they say, whatever it's meal time in the military?

They're like, go to the mess hall. Mess hall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mess hall. Who what? Private.

Um, lazy salute. Um, and Catherine, I think, do you remember exactly what she said, uh, to Alyssa. Kayla, it was like, it was like, okay. she's like, I know this sounds ridiculous, but like, what is AI? She said, just go to dot com. But that's what, that's what Alyssa said. But Catherine's like, how do I find AI? I think that's what she said.

And she's like, where is AI? Yeah, something like, I was like, you didn't ask it like that. Did you? Like, you did, just like, I think I literally said, how do I find AI? She's like, it is going to sound dumb. And I know this is not right, but I can't reach out and grab it. Right. Artificial is the first word.

I'm pretty sure you can't, like, I couldn't keep it in our cabinet. But confirm that for me real quick. Yeah, the oven would be too hot. It does the meal planning for you. So how is that work? I think she literally was like, how do I find AI? Something like that. And she's like, well, you can just do chatgbt.com, which I've always been like,

that's not even, that's not even, I get, it'll probably redirect you there, but I'm like, that's, that's bad information too. And I told Kevin was like, AI. backslash. chat gpte.com. I was like, and they do have an app too. She's like, really? Okay. And like I was giving her a hard time to Caleb. Like, Catherine, it's just like she just, sometimes she just refuses to try.

Like there's so many things that she goes so much above and beyond what I do. So I'm not trying to be like she is not, she's lazy. She's definitely not lazy in most things. But with technology and stuff, it's like, like if I were like, hey, can you log into our bank account and, you know, check on something for me? She'd be like, oh, well, there goes my. Saturday. I don't know how to do that. It's like, have you tried? Have you done any? Hey, can you, yeah, download this the app on my phone? Oh, okay. How do I do that? I don't have face ID set up. How long is that going to take? Is Rachel like that? Because Shelby's a little bit like

that. Really? I mean, uh, Rachel's a young lass, you know, technically she is Gen Z. So no, I, Rachel does does pretty well technology. But I think as time goes on, you just find a balance in marriage. So I think I will always be the tech guy. So as Rachel gets older, she's, She will probably succumb to this, you know, Dr. Quinn Medicine woman lifestyle that you have. Because I would have said back in the day, like, yeah, Catherine, she's with it. She's with it. She knows how to do all the new Instagram story stuff. She knows how to do that. She knows how to add music. I don't even know how to add music to my story yet. You know, like all these new features, I think as time goes on farther and farther away, just not messing with stuff as much.

So do you think, I looked up, do you think chatypte.com gets you where you want to go? what do you think I actually looked it up to oh um since you're asking I guess the answer is no since I'm asking the answers yes oh it does okay yeah so it'll work that's smart as I yeah good job guys so where is it I I it was something I did I how can the conversations I was like that's not how you asked that question right she's like no I think I literally said that and then there was another mom in the group she's like I'm glad you ask because I don't really know either I'm like what thank you for asking I think we've all wanted to ask where can I find AI because all you have to do is go to like Google and just search

AI or chat GPT or anything it will give you an AI overview of the AI Google search it's awesome I mean like I'm like there that just shows that you have like there was uh somehow Caleb was like we were talking about hours of the week or something he's like how many hours are even in a week and I was like doing the math in my head I was like 100 it's 168 I was like looking at Catherine she goes I didn't I didn't even try I didn't even try to do it. I was like, there and lies our marriage right there. Cattern's like, there's no way of really knowing for certain. So what's the point? Do you guys remember whenever you learned that you didn't have to type in www. www. before a website? It wasn't that monumental

of a day, so I don't remember. I thought it was only on Google Chrome for a while. Yeah, there was like, oh, Firefox makes you do it. Correct. Or something. I don't know if that was true or not. Yeah. I remember I was in like the fourth grade and I was going to the Disney Channel website. to play like Lizzie McGuire the game and somebody like saw over my shoulder

they're like oh hey you don't have to put in the WWW they tapped you hey man you're gonna waste your life dude yeah every time

you put that's two seconds think about how many times what if what if somebody was like hey man you don't have to do the HTTPS you know colon backslous backslash either

what somebody listening right now is like I had no idea what if somebody's put in the HTTP dude speaking of AI I know I brought up last week. I think it brought up off the podcast, but agent mode on chat GPD. Have you used this yet?

You got to figure out like a task to have it do for you. It's unbelievable. It's kind of crazy watching it work. Like it is like its own computer recap. Yeah. It like and it'll show you it like gives you like almost like a it's like a portal into this like fake computer it's working on. So you see like a browser tab open and you see chat GBT's mouse clicking and typing on things. Oh really? Okay. You don't have to watch it. It's just kind of fun if you want to. I mean, you can just like close your laptop and move on. But yeah, you, like, employ this, like, agent to, like, do, like, long tasks for you. That's pretty cool. I think the stuff you're doing kind of, yeah, that the ghosties don't know about. Oh, what? Oh, on the ghosty getaway, you'll learn about it. Oh, I thought Brad told us

everything. Psych. I have six more children. Yeah. Not true. Not true. Hey, hey. But it could be really helpful with that. That's good. You just like, you got to, like, you got boss it around a little bit. like hey you are you are this job and this is your task and do this and do you remember what you've used it for uh house hunting yeah it's great it's like these are my parameters that's right here's kind of what i'm looking for and then i'll say let me know if you need any additional information before you get going okay i don't want you wasting your time over here are you let me know if you're confused yes can you stop it halfway through and be like oh you're you're strain away or anything like that yeah you probably could you're strain away because you know sometimes like uh okay

you misheard. Because when you do an AI prompt, obviously, you get reactions within 30 seconds, and it's like, ah, that's not exactly what I wanted. Try this. But if you, you said sometimes it's like 45 minutes or something. Yeah, I think the first time I did it, it was like, right before I went to bed, I asked to do a bunch of stuff. I go to sleep. I wake up the morning. And it says, like, researched for 58 minutes. And it gives me all this research. That's pretty cool. Wow. So I'm a Claude guy, though. So I don't know. That's right. Yeah. Cloud guy. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, we're starting to use it even with Friday stuff. I'm just like, it's not. It's super complex but just like build out a customer survey that we could send to you know a segmented

email list about this this and this and that works yeah just does it way quicker than a human good sure yeah crazy dude crazy so that's where a i is and it can also do meal prep meal planning what crazy got the socks on i sell one of each i almost have the socks dude there my go-toos i love the socks are we doing the ad right now yeah what is you think we're just like talking no Yeah, well, we were. And then realized, hey, well, let's just go and make this the ad. Just like super chill. Like, let's just be like really quiet about this ad.

Like, just like talking like they don't even understand. Like, wait, do I just skip back or something? Because they're just having a normal conversation right now. But you were saying you got your socks from Cozhearts.com? Yeah. And I have two alternating socks. Like they're like a home away in alternates. Yeah, they are kind of like a color rush here.

So I got one with blue on top. Color rush. One with. Oh, it must be Monday night. Maybe on top. Color rush. But I always make sure that Earth is on the right foot. Cozy is on the left.

Sometimes I don't think about it. I screw it up. But you know what? Sorry about that. Coz, can you show me right here? Oh, I'm cramping up. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

What's happening? Hamstring. Right hamstring is cramp city right now, dude. Your right hamstring? Oh, ho. Why is your right hamstring cramping? I don't know. I think I like shoved.

Oh, it went down. All right. Do you see it's on the bottom is Earth. thank you thank you dude wow oh boy that was a wild cramped city that was beautiful anyway cozy earth hooking it up for the ghostroars getaway it's all i'm gonna say oh i say it's all i'm gonna say but um they're awesome we're just chilling with cozyer honestly i would probably have more energy if i weren't so comfortable in my cozy earth socks because like cozy earth just gives you that cozy feeling all day long i would have more energy

but I don't even want to be here right now. I want to be in my bed with my cozier sheets. I'm not having a good time here. You know what? Let's reverse it. I do have a lot of energy because I sleep so well in my cozier sheets that every single day I wake up feeling better

than I was the day before. Allow me to backtrack a bit. I have a ton of energy today because I know that later on tonight I'm going to put on some like cozy earth joggers to go to sleep in and that gets me excited. And you know what?

Let me go back on your backtrack. Let me just say, yes, I have energy but I'm going to try not to have energy later because I love their throw blankets and I want to take a nap and so I'm going to try to downplay that energy as much as I can so I can fall asleep under that throw blanket. Funny you say that permission to piggy backtrack on you real quick. Please. Yeah. So on the note you said about Cozirth, I also use their products. How? We have a promo. We have a promo code. It's GRKC. It's GRKC for up to

40% off anything, bedding, towels, sheets. That's betting. Sox. lotion sheet um like the things that you put around your mattress no that's betting okay uh pillow cases dvays covers uh also betting what else um i'm trying to think like a top sheet a top sheet or like a fitted sheet or like a fitted sheet i don't think they sell like the plastic ones that are like making it waterproofs in case your kids wet the bed yeah but if they do they'd be awesome i bet and also betting cozierc dot com are you meal prepering no no not really you're prepping for the getaway yes i am which you're coming on yeah yeah dude coming for both sessions you hear that double dip double d on that boy um yeah we got a

we got a bunch of double ds coming to the what would be what does anything come to mind what would be your like a reverse talent do you have anything you're like oh i could do this in front of people because i'm bad at it oh man i don't i can't too talented i'm so good i think it'd be a like, hey, I have a lot of really special people in my life that I care deeply about. Ask me any of their birthdays. And beyond my, the people under my roof, I don't think I could name a single. I know my, I know my dad's and one of my sisters because they're like low in the month. Like my sister's February 2nd.

My dad's December 3rd. That's easy for me to remember those. But then it's like, ah, as my mom, 27th, the 21st, 23rd. Aunt Cindy. January. Okay. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.

Pretty sure the month. Yeah. And Cindy's January. I think in Charlotte's February. But it might be. Yes, I'm pretty positive. Any nieces or nephews that you know? Watson is September, I think, 27th.

Because I think he's the same as maybe some other people in my family that I don't. Go off, Slumdog. And then my sister, my sister Julie is the same, maybe April 27th, along with. Maybe. Along with two of Catherine's siblings. They're twins. So it was easy But along that

Catherine's got a lot of summer birthdays in her family No idea I'm pretty sure there's one I guess niece or nephew of mine That's November with me I think it's Jack I think it's Jack I think it's Jack

Yeah Because I think now we're like having birthday parties in November Then never do it for just Big Daddy But now that Jack's around Thank goodness for Jack Oh Jack and Brad We're celebrating their birthday You were saying at breakfast this morning

that you're so bad with knowing characters from a movie could that be part of your reverse talent show like tell us your favorite movies so like what the main character

favorite movies I bet I know you'd still know the names well give me one all right I almost said the main character from baby driver but that's kind of name

so maybe you like baby driver love baby driver Caleb's a movie guy so I like your opinions on things you know what also learned

I feel like you're a you're a foodie too this morning would you say so I think it's because I just watched Radat Rattuckooie last night for the first time ever. I love Rattahooie.

I think you're giving me some like Remy vibes. You're like, you care about like the, you can smell everything. You taste everything. Yeah. That moment in Rattatooie where he takes the cheese and the strawberry and he's like, was it the strap? I forget. But yeah, that's like I love when we were talking about this last night and I'm realizing

like I guess I'm an experience guy. Yes. I love the experience. So like when I go see a movie, my favorite format to see a movie in is IMAX 3D. Because three-d movies. You want all of it. Yeah, I'm not really a 3D movie guy, but IMAX 3D, Christopher Nolan. not Christopher Nolan

the guy who made the Avatar movies back James Cameron he actually had to like develop and build brand new cameras to be able to film an IMX 3D so like just knowing all that back knowledge like yeah

this is how he wanted the movie to be experienced so when that was the first movie ever saw an IMX 3D and then ever since then whenever they release a movie in that format which is kind of rare but they usually do for like the Marvel movies

and stuff I'll make sure I go see it at least one time really in that format just to like really because it's not that things are coming out at you it's just that it provides like this depth into the screen that it's just like yeah baby and like the sound all around you sold me on it yeah I would be an experienced guy Caleb is like from what I learned it's like if he's doing it he's doing it right yeah you know what I mean like I feel like in

every like yeah we went to the Ben rector show we could have gone to the one in you know Valrico Florida but instead let's go to the rooftop one it's like Valerico oh it's a real place it's like a summer of Tampa that my aunt and uncle live in so that's the movies I know but instead it's like let's go to the rooftop in Brooklyn and like see this like cool intimate show whatever like you know or like I don't know you just told I feel like there's multiple times where you've said stuff like this like yeah you know you make it a 10 out of 10 experience yeah which honestly is now making me like we got to make sure golf shores the 10 out of 10 experience for this guy yeah we're going to make it 3D somehow yeah so like the little things

that we've talked about is like growing up my dad would always put on like if we're making Italian food in the house. He's got the Italian music playing. Yeah. Oh, that's fun. If we're having, like, if we're making tacos, he's got like some Fiesta music playing. So like just those subtleties through childhood, I think are what developed that thing in me that like, yeah, I want it to be as real as possible. And it could be very simple things like that. Like just, yeah, adding, adding a little more ambiance to it, adding a little. Put a sombrero on. Yeah. Seriously. Yeah. Yeah, whatever it is. Like, make it a theme. Like instead of just like, hey, we all got to clean up right now. Like, make it a fun we're going to clean up as pirates yeah right we're going to swab the deck right very very

camp i was going to say that seems like yeah you you would have done a good job being in charge of the parties and everything like kicking through like the five senses of a party yes 100 percent we we're talking at camp about moments of wonder is the word we would use it feels like yeah because it's like what are what are my kids going to remember about this thing it's like oh like let's let's make it a moment of wonder let's make it like remember when dad was just being ridiculous with the italian music like running all around the kitchen like throwing the spaghetti against the wall to make sure it's done or something I don't know like it's just like that's I think about that stuff sometimes of like what are the what do my kids think of me what are they going to remember

what's going to stick what's not going to stick yeah because it's not a lot of it's not going to stick literally against the wall you know but but that's also too that's like probably I go too far in that direction and it's where like I probably spend a little too much money on this stuff too much money yeah yeah yeah so that's a it's a strength and a weakness you can Get creative with making the experiences budget friendly, I guess. You got to figure out, yeah. Music's free. Sombrero budget, though.

Sombrero budget. Just figure out and stay within it. You know, or make your own, you know, go find some straw outside. Speaking of kids, how's, what's the Boe update? How's he doing? He's good. He's back? Yeah, I would say, I told, maybe I was you.

No, I was talking to TJ on the way of the airport. He was like, how's Bo doing? And I was like, he's probably 90%. He's like pretty much himself, which is good and bad. Because he's starting to, like, you know, act up some and throw tantrum. and wines on 70% was kind of nice he's a kid yeah he's yeah so he's starting to get a little more like we went to the park yesterday before dinner and he was like tripping hattie at one point i was like what are you doing what do you want to trip your sister why did you do yeah hady was like trying

to do like time trials where she was like running up the slide see how fast she could do it i was timing her and every once while he'd like just stick out his foot and like yeah stumble make her stumble a little bit and she would get really mad and i'm like bow you just come sit over here man time out whatever uh but overall he's awesome and great and um yeah just running around the house today we saw him he had his night costume on with like a he got this new like quiver basically i guess that like he puts his arrows in for a bow and he's just he's just all about it so he's he's run around the house and run around the yard and having a blast if i had a brand new quiver i'd be pretty excited to

absolutely i'd get back to full strength Caleb brought him some fun uh little little toys like these little mini walkie-talkies. So they're pumped about using those. Secret. Like walkie-talkies. They love playing spies. They love like walking around the house. And I always see them all.

What are you guys doing? They're like, we're playing spies. Don't look at us. Okay. Sounds good. No, he's good though. He's doing, he's still like, I don't know, getting his appetite back a little bit. But besides that, he's, I mean, we went to the pool.

Our church had like a little pool. public pool night the other day and people were like you would never know that a week ago he was in the hospital like he was like

yeah sliding down the slide and stuff it was actually pretty fun it was like this like little kitty area of the pool like zero entry you know like super shallow water and so zero entry is pretty cool

I like the name of it and also just the the glideness of it was one of those things where it's like this should have been around forever like because it's very normal now

but like we never had zero entry it. The best thing we had as a kid was like the stabs it. Yeah. That was fun. I think they invented zero entry right around when like Blue Rays came out. Maybe so.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe there's a connection there that we don't know about it. Maybe at the same time. And zero entry is where it like subtly slopes down. Right. Yeah. So you can like walk it like.

You know how a driveway works? They just did that in the pool and it just rocked our world. It's like holy cow. You're telling me you don't have to dig a massive hole. You can just dig a little bit of like, anyway but there's like this i mean it's definitely made for like two year olds to seven year olds or something like that like younger kids and uh there was this slide this like shark slide and first rosy and beau went down it together and then bow was like can i go down it with

henry and i was like sure just be careful with them and he just holds them and henry like they they both fly down henry is loving it dude that's awesome yeah just Henry is the classic fourth child just like loving every minute of it whatever you want to take me on i mean yeah there was one point like i let him go down by himself like i just like kind of like picked him up and just dropped him down there and he just like flew down and like fell into the water and like just thought it was the most fun thing ever so i'm like all right dude i saw this video on instagram recently where it's probably i'm not great at judging kids age one and a half year old okay is like henry's age just yeah fear that maybe a two year old

yeah but it's like fearless like they went to this water park and they've got like a they've got a low dive they've got a medium dive and like this little girl like kept wanting to higher and higher and so they kind of was like I guess because the dad was like underneath like you jumped to me and she's kept going I mean she did like a 12 foot high dive just like yeah probably between Henry and Rosie's age awesome yeah they just have no they don't have that feared like gene yet or maybe just have a lot of trust in their dad maybe yeah maybe both but anyway it was it was a blast so anyway all I'd say bow's doing good um yeah can't complain man he's he's recovering well and been been pretty chill with you know haven't been doing a whole

lot with, you know, outside of the house. But I think we're starting to get excited. Ghosters Getaway as soon. How are you feeling about it? I feel great. Yeah. Yeah, I truly feel great. I talked to Ortencia on the phone the other day.

She's awesome. I just made a group chat for the people working. And I call it the Gulf Shores. What do I call it? Gulf Shores Grinders. Something like that. And Ortencia's coming. So Ortencia is, I don't know.

I don't want to misage her. So we'll say she's 58. She's probably like 60 something, maybe. I have no idea. Ortencia's coming with her husband, Gilbert, and then her daughter, Elizabeth. So I was like, I don't have Gilbert or Elizabeth's number. So I'll figure that out later. I don't even know if Gilbert wants to be in this Gulf Shore's Grinders group.

But anyway, Ortencia just sent me a text. And she was like, hi, Brad. Can you please add Elizabeth to the group me group chat called Ghost or Gulf Shores Grinders? For whatever reason, it was like so funny to me. Leaving nothing to interpretation. Yes. I was like, absolutely. Here's, you know, here's her number, whatever.

But I'm just, I'm so excited. I think she's going to be so fun. All the people that are like, we have a group chat for both sessions and both sessions. I can't keep up with it. Yeah, you said that and I agree. Like I just can't, I can't interact as much as I want because I keep missing stuff. Right. Are you, are you able to keep up, Caleb?

Yeah, but it's wild. I'm only keeping up with session one. Yeah. I'm occasionally checking on session two. but session one like I even texted you I was like is session two's chat like as crazy yeah session one at some point last week there was like we hit like a high school musical vein and it popped off really see I didn't even see that like that's yeah did you see where like I sent the video of Shelby and I doing like our high school no I missed that too oh my gosh it was a

flurry I'll have to someday I'll take an hour and just catch up on all of them but Shelby and I in high school there was like a variety show and we did like ironically we did this funny high musical song the two of us and it's like these two crazy characters in the movie yeah and so i was trying to figure out how to share it and it wasn't letting me share the video so i had to upload it to our goesies on second youtube page and then i just shared the link in there and now it has like 200 views and all this stuff and i was like oh boy and then mattie diderly was like i think a hundred of those views are me that's amazing yeah oh yeah so i think the people it's fun what would say the makeup is of people who've come before and are new i i think there's more

people than I realized that are coming from years past, but it feels way more like new people than last year was. I was guessing like 60% new people, 40% returning. Yeah, I was going to say 50, 50, maybe, maybe 60, 40. Yeah. And so that's really fun because there's new energy of like these people are all so hyped to be there. And not that the other people aren't. I think they're hyped in different ways. But it feels like the new people are the ones in the group chat the most, which is so fun. Yeah, I saw messages like, are we ever going to sleep when we're there, right? You know, like Maddie and Mariah Garrett are just like geeking out. on the musical theater and like, we're just going to stay up all night and play cards.

Yeah, man, it's, I talk about laymise. It's like, great, have fun. I'll go to sleep. No, but I'm pumped. I think it feels like we have all the logistics down and. It's so nice that it's the same house and the same location. I told you this yesterday. I was like, I don't know how I screwed this up, but I did.

So in the past years, Brooks was our chef. He's my brother-in-law, and he would always drive a trailer in his truck down because he had different cooking supplies and so we were always like all right brooks can you also take all the beach chairs and the pop-up tents and like all the physical stuff so that we can fly uh brooks obviously is not the chef this year or tinsia is and so i was like okay we're going to need something somebody's going to have to get these things down there so i was like i'll drive that's not a big deal i looked it up and it looked i could have sworn it said 13 hours which of course 13 hours is not nothing to sneeze at you know but uh it was like i can i can grin and bear it for 13 hours

we can break this up into quarters and I can you know first first half is easy and then I'll just start calling people or doing an Instagram live or whatever it is like make it fun then I looked yesterday and I was like it's at like 1445 and for whatever reason that sounds way worse to me like like it feels like you know every every minute after 13 hours sounds like oh that's that's that's eternity so uh that'll be interesting to see how that goes if if worst coming to worst, I stop somewhere along the way and just come the rest of the way Saturday morning or somewhere. Go to Val RICO and if I make it to Val Rico, I'm in trouble. But anyway. Any chance that you looked at that time up during like rush hour? Okay. So I learned yesterday when I was looking it up.

Yesterday it did say like 1530 or whatever, 15 minutes, 30 seconds or you got it, 15 hours, 30 minutes. But then you can say like actually I'm going to leave at this time. You know, you could, can estimate that on there now. So I tried every time. I tried 4 a.m. I was like maybe it's just like they're calculating like right now and goal short. I was looking at up at like 5 p.m. or something like that.

Nope. It's just I was wrong somehow. So but are they Eastern time? I think they're still central. Good question. Because that would be even worse if I get in. And then it's an hour later. Yeah.

I don't know. We'll see. It'll be an adventure. You know one of the craziest things that happened to me was actually when I came up here for the eclipse trip yeah so justice and i we fly into kansas city rent a car hung out in kansas city for the day and then drove through st louis and then like to illinois and that's where we actually saw the eclipse because it was like the longest version of the total eclipse was there yeah so what happened experience guy yeah yeah darn it okay um no it's good that's fun we're

commend to so what ended up happening is i had everything planned out like all the times how much it so we were going to drive from that place in illinois to shelby's uncle's house in Nashville or Franklin and it was going to be a three hour and change drive and like they were ready they were going to do this special thing for dinner like it was this whole thing and he was in a grill all this stuff like it was set and then we get in the car right after the eclipses over and get on the highway and then everybody else who traveled to that like longest point of America to watch the eclipse they're also it went from a three hour drive to an eight hour drive oh dude eclipse is bring the people out really it was wild and because it was

small roads from, you know, southern Illinois to Tennessee. But there was one point where it was so beautiful, like driving through like the cornfields and the sun was starting to go down and it just felt like you're in a movie, you know? Yeah. So there was one point where like where we got out of the car and I just like, I forced justice to take like some photos like, hey buddy, just go stand over there. Let me go. And he was like, dude, come on. And actually, it was one of those things where I was really stressed for like the first couple hours because you're looking at your phone and it says like arrival time. Yep. Seven o'clock. And then it's like, 7 30 yep eight yeah nine and like as that kept growing i was just thinking like oh man they're preparing

this whole meal for us we're not gonna get there to like 11 pm blah blah blah but like at some point it just kind of clicked like the perspective shift of me and my son yeah yeah in the car together more car time yeah more corn time yeah we had we had the best time listen to music we like what we like stream to show from like what yeah it was a good time it's the journey not the destination they say but yeah so hey as long as yours doesn't go from 15 hours to 24 and you're good Well, truly. I mean, yeah, I definitely think that. I'm like, I'm going to hit some city at the wrong time. And I'm going to, yeah, Memphis rush hour or something.

I don't know. Oh, yeah. You know how they do it in Memphis. The infrastructure, there's terrible. No, but overall, man, I'm getting so pumped about it. I'm, like, getting pretty close to being finished with this South Dakota pheasant hunting order for the lodge. Yeah.

That's going to feel nice to be done with. Yeah. And I don't think I'm going to, like, truly, truly have every single thing done before I leave. Like I'll still have to like kind of wrap things up right before I take it. But yeah, I think I'll probably work on it for another day or two and then have most of like most of my focus either A spending time with my family,

you know, because I've whatever going to be gone from them or yeah, working on Gold Shore stuff. Yeah. But yeah, I don't want to give it too much away, but fun, fun stuff,

fun stuff in store. Yeah. It's going to be awesome. Yeah, we got some just the people. It's always the people that makes it so fun. and so we got some great people coming and good crew so uh yeah anyway i went to branson this weekend oh yeah i saw akash's like whole like uh you know just everything cash man gosh being

cash yeah posted so we call him receipts in the in the group that's like his like nickname because it's always like man did we go to branson 2016 or was it i don't know i don't remember i don't think we did you know whatever and he's like yes we did like six seconds later yes we did here's a picture to prove it like kind of thing he's like he's like always the one he's going to be a great dad someday because he's documenting everything uh everyone else is kind of like rolling their eyes he's like you're gonna you're gonna appreciate this someday uh so he's always posting videos and whatever from it um but it was a blast we it was for our fantasy football weekend but i mean it it was just mainly an excuse to hang out with each other

like if it's truly for fantasy football we wouldn't be drafting four weeks before the season starts i would say it's a little tough to get in that mindset where it's pretty early on oh and like there's definitely going to be guys that get injured you know Yeah, you have a guy on your team right now who won't play this season. Probably, yeah. Dude, I'm so bad at fantasy football. And here's the reason why is because I just base all my decisions off of past history. Or like, if they're Christians or not.

Give me Adam Thielen. I'll take Noah Gray. Yeah. I don't know if she's Christian, but she's pretty anti-Vax. Yeah, go and give me Matt Stafford. Bucker Catholic, you know. Yeah. Like, I don't know, just Christian, it's anti-back.

No, I just, I'm like, well, Tyree Kill was good three, four years ago, so I should get Tyre Kill. Yeah, or even if they just had like one good season. You're like, dude, how is he still available? What was his name? Oh, gosh, Adai? No. Joseph Adai. Was that the running back for the dolphins?

I think mainly with the Colts. Who was the dolphins running back a couple years ago? That was really good for his season. Oh, just a couple years ago? He had a funny name, last name, too. I can't think. Ajai. Oh, that guy, yeah.

How do you say his name? I was like, oh, I got to get him. You know, whatever, like the year after. Of course, he's not as good the next year. Joseph Ajai? No, that's Joseph Adai. AJ Ajai? One, two.

Wait, that just reminded me. Did I ever tell you, I was supposed to be on, wait, sorry. I was supposed to be on AJ Dillon's podcast. Did I ever tell you this? You posted about it on your Instagram, I think. He reached out to me personally. I'm just now realizing, dude, did I miss something? Sorry, I'm kind of freaking out right now.

But the weekend as a whole was just so fun, man. It's just good. I just have some really good. friends like they're just all these camp guys and there's good dudes like yeah we laughed a lot and sometimes it was like at the expense of others but for the most part it was just like good clean fun hanging out you know every once while we give each other a hard time but like for the most part it's just like just memory like having memories together that no one else wants to talk about this memory except for these guys you know and just going back and it's just so special because even

like within the camp world like you connect at camp with so many guys but like having following up with them whatever it is 15 12 years later whatever like still being super tight with them it's just special and it was fun and um so we got to yeah the the main like we were just there for like all day Saturday and then Friday night and Sunday morning but Saturday we went to the social birdie which is where we did a pickleball great a little spot and uh we played pickleball there and it was fun and we got to get in early because my friend Alan knows the guy running it and everything and uh we get there and i was like i noticed they had another another brand's paddles available i'm not going to say the name but it rhymes with melkirk um and i think i know

which one you're talking about do you want me a time yeah no or riles with melk malmcurt melkirk melkirk hey hey right with melkirk um and uh i was like i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna You know, I got, I got to do my boys justice here. I'm like, have you ever heard of Friday? Like, uh, and they're like, yeah, actually, uh, yeah, I've heard of them. I was like, well, my buddy, you know, they, they run the, the Friday social medias and they have stake in the company and all these different things. I was like, I know they would love to hook you guys up.

Like, because they were using all, he was like trying to pick out the right paddles for us to use that were like, you know, this one's kind of, this one's kind of broken, blah, blah, all these demos or whatever. And I was like trying to, and he goes, well, yeah, actually, uh, the Friday. guys were here yesterday they gave us a bunch of free paddles uh it was Isaac and his friends I think oh no way but I was like Isaac's already hustling I was proud of him I was like good for him because Isaac was here Isaac was in Branson as well for a bachelor party with some of his buddies uh I was like good for Isaac like getting after because I was like I was like thinking I was like

doing you guys like a solid you'll thank me later yeah and instead he's like yeah we have like 15 paddles upstairs right now so dude that's so funny that reminds you of a story in New York I like unintentionally offended this guy so this guy in New York was like a big fan of our content everything he's like where is he got this weekend I'm like oh he's a he's at a bachelor party couldn't be here and he's like well hopefully it's somewhere cool I was like oh it is southern Missouri and he's like oh well I've actually been to Missouri before I was like that's fun it's like what how did you get to Missouri and he was like in high school we did this thing where in we went to 30 states in 30 weeks and I was like oh wow

I was like were you homeschooled and he was like no dude no it wasn't he was like I went home to school I went to high school like four blocks from here dude I'll show you I'll show you like we can walk there and I was like my mom walked me to school every day yeah uphill both ways yeah rain sleet snow I did it

I did yes I did yes I did I was like both hands up I was like I just I was trying to figure out like how did you logistically do that yeah and he was like just in the summertime and I was like well this explains maybe the lack of schooling you have Yeah, maybe you should have been old to school math.

Did you mean 30 states and 30 days? And so I didn't like try to like get to the bottom of this or correct about. I was just like, oh. Good to meet you, man. I'm the idiot. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Summer is about 30 weeks. That's right. Yes. Yes. Well, New York. It is, dude. And so that was a. So I was like, oh, okay.

That's cool. Yeah. I was just trying to figure out like how you had the time to do it. But that's fun. And so I was like, so how did you choose? This is truly all the conversation about it. I was like, how did you choose which. states to go to.

Oh, you went back into the well just a little bit more. I don't know. I just thought we were on the same page and I was like, he's a fan of the content. We need to have a good interaction. Double down the wrong way.

He goes, I was like, how did you choose the 30 states? And he goes, oh, our trip, we just did like the outer perimeter of the United States. I was like,

so how did you get to Missouri? You should have been homeschooled, dude, because you don't know anything. What high school did you? Do you know what perimeter means? He's like, yeah, the perimeter like just like the you know perimeter like think of like the inside of a pie yeah

all the inside stuff is in the pyrimatur yeah so we went from perimeter we took a boat to missouri and yeah it was great there was a cruise it was like a guided cruise to missouri i love chicago so it was just one of those nice guy for the most part fine conversation but boy were we never clicking man what no dude it all started from isaac being gone yeah all i'll all because Isaac was God in Missouri. Yeah, you should have gone the limo Ellen, we bought a limo route. I've done that as well.

We've been to a lot of the states. I never want to bring that up because the limo story is like a, it's like a Trump card. It's like any story that anyone has about traveling, the limo will one up it. And so it's like I don't want to bring it

because then it feels like, oh, you did, it took you that long to go to 30 cents. I did 50 in about 80 days. And I wasn't homeschooled either, buddy. Yeah. That's fair Like self-conscious to bring it up

But That's fair Normally I'm just like Oh yeah I've been there Dude we went on before just traveling Maybe don't give quantities Just be like dude We went on a cross-country trip

One time me and my buddy's in a limousine It was so fun We hit all these different states too Which one of your favorites Did you ever go to this place? Yeah you don't even let them ask a question You went in a limousine And I said which one is your favorite

Yeah They just had four doors just like yours Dude just don't worry Which one's your favorite Two axles It had a truck Yours had a truck great there was the same page then yeah we both were at a high school yep what's your favorite

north virginia probably north virgin yeah did you like it yeah yeah every house has it you enjoy it uh man anyway also at this event uh this guy this is pretty funny so a guy um just like i'm like watching a game and he just like comes up behind me this is his first sentence ever to me like from behind he goes this is a guy like 55 years old never spoke to him. Afraid to let Isaac loose in the big city. We have no context to who each other are. This is first sentence to me. And I like immediately laugh.

And then more I'm thinking about like, dude, that's really funny. I don't know even how well you know Isaac, but yeah, you're right. Yeah. Yeah, there's probably a little apprehension to let Isaac loose in the big city. I was like, that's so good. Like, I got to tell Brad this. He has first sins to me, afraid to let him loose in the big city. Who would you?

Honestly, I'm a little, I'm afraid of Scott getting let loose in the big city. city too like yeah they're liabilities in different ways or you even it sounds like you you were I'm offending the locals door-dashing chick-fil-a you know quarter three straight is not usually broken though you know get some good get some boys together iron sharpens iron kind of thing but that guy yeah started off with a really good impression and it was kind of those things like later in the night we're kind of debriefing and that guy brought up Isaac to like each one of us separately so like he might have been really missing Isaac yeah I don't know what the relationship is the perosocial relationship he has with Isaac, but I think he was, like, really wanting Isaac to be there.

That is funny. Yeah. Do you feel like, like, obviously, well, never mind. I'm not going to ask. Okay. I don't know. Just go ahead. You have more from this trip?

Sure. Yeah, but so that was the night. This is Friday night. This is the kind of more or less the reason we went there. And we had a bunch of stuff lined up and I could talk about more later. But this was like, we're doing a co-branded paddle. If this, if these two guys beat. Scott and TJ, we lose $11,000.

Proud to say they smoked them. Yeah. Kansas City smoked barbecue. Barbecue. We smoked those guys. Yeah, we put them on the grill. We skeered them and burnt their ends. That's how barbecue works.

Ted Lassow does it. Put them on the kebabs. And so that was nice. Yeah, didn't lose $11,000. They won $113, $11.0. Oh, because they were too much. That's why you didn't win. Lose $11,000.

Yep, that's how you do it. Yeah, every point they got was $1,000. we uh yeah i kept referring to scott and tj as our show ponies throughout the weekend because like we just had a bunch of just like truly just pickleball lined up like we're going to go to this spot and play and invite all the locals we're going to go this spot and scott and t j didn't lose all weekend it's always just i mean that in itself is such great marketing for the paddles just like look at these guys look how good they are yeah none of you guys can beat them and they're using like a 99 dollar paddle so i just kept referring to them it just you guys need me to get your you know

You need to shove your poop, need to get to the stables ready. You guys need anything. Yeah. And honestly, a light bulb kind of went off. I was like, because we've talked about doing like a little mini tour. Like I want to get a van.

And like, in my head, I was like me, Isaac and Tyman will be bop around. But the more I'm thinking about like, I think we got to get the show ponies out there. I think Scott T.J. need to go out. And like they need to just like go beat everyone in the country.

Right. Yeah. It does look really good for your, like you can either go the really fun route or the like legit route. And obviously you've done. the fun route already yeah and so now it's like the authority almost right hey not only is it fun but this works this plays at a high level yeah because yeah the thing with how pickable all works like i think if for someone to be better than scott and tj you're gonna have to pay them to show up like

they're gonna have to be like a pro player so it's like on the amateur level they can beat pretty much anyone yeah which is pretty fun they're that good so we had a good time yeah they went undefeated all weekend long beat everyone in new york city except for when uh on Saturday we brought in like the 10th best player in the world and so me and him played then too and we beat them so okay they only loss they had was against like one of the best players in the whole world yeah otherwise it was fun 10th best player in the world day solid yeah he was great and yeah uh yeah they didn't know what to do they were just like really i've never been on the court with someone like really yeah yeah that good yeah he was that much better than kyle even yeah

really yeah sorry Kyle Kyle Kyle's coming in town this weekend and though Got a fun. Taking a little lassie out on a date. Hey. Really? Yeah, one of Rachel's old volleyball teammates. Okay. A little bit.

So he's come back into town. Cool. More Kyle time. Good for him. Getting after it. Oh, is that? Could be. You had mentioned on a group chat.

You couldn't come somewhere because you were, was it that? You're going, you were a double date with somebody. Yeah. Is that it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, boy. oh yeah that's fun uh here's a i i was trying to rack my brain about different things from this weekend besides just like the overarching fun thing and sometimes it's like one of those

things where it's like you just have so much fun and it's like there's not one defining thing that made it so fun you know like and that's what this weekend was uh but one story that i do think is worth talking about on the podcast is uh my buddy jeremy he lives in a small town in kansas I'm not going to say in a town, but just because of the, it doesn't look great on this story, but he is on the city council for his small town. Okay. Which is kind of a legit thing. Parks and Rec.

And he's just a sweet guy. Yeah, Parks and Rec is exactly what I think of when I think of this thing. City Council. I don't remember exactly how he got on it, but he's been on it now for six years maybe. And we were kind of just catching up on the way to Branson, me, Jeremy and my buddy, Chris. And, like, are he still on the city council? So he's like, yeah, my term's up this year, but I think I'm going to run again. Or whatever, you know, whatever that's great.

But I think I'm going to run again. And I don't know how big his town is. I bet three to five thousand max. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. It's not nothing. It's not nothing. Yeah, there's some people there.

But he's like, he's like, I don't really love it. But there's a guy that also is going to probably try to run. And I really don't want him to get it. He's just a bad guy. He used to be our mayor. And we're like, what, What makes him so bad or whatever? And he was just like kind of like telling different things, personality, whatever.

It seems like maybe he's kind of crooked with some of the business in town of like he made decisions based off of how it would help him or whatever. I see. And then later he's like, oh. And another thing is one time he wore a wife beater to one of the meetings. Which is wild to me. Yeah. It's like that does play a role. It's like I'm not going to lead with it.

But like just so you know, he does do this. Like in my head, I'm like, okay. I understand that the city council in a small town in Kansas is not going to be the same kind of decorum and like whatever professionalism as it's going to be in a larger city. But still I just figured if you're on the city council, you have a good amount of like respect for the job and the responsibility. He's like and then later on, because we were giving him a hard time out for the whole weekend of like, yeah, your mayor comes to the wife. He's like, he wasn't the mayor at the time. I was like, it doesn't make a difference, dude. He was a former mayor.

And then he goes, well, hey, does it make a difference? It was a black wife beater. Like, that's classier somehow than the white one. I'm like, I think no matter what, bro, it's just, it's not a good look. I don't think that changes things. So funny. Anyway, just like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're lithium.

Yeah, exactly. Same vibe. So anyway, I just could not believe that. So he's running more or less just to keep him out of the office. I believe so well I can't have him in there yeah just like I don't think he like loves this duty he has but he sees it as a responsibility kind of thing um anyway he's the same guy he's just so funny he was the one that I mentioned last week the shoutout consequence guy like there was at camp like there was one guy that did the shout out consequence and did it terribly and everyone

disliked him for oh yeah but then Jeremy was like you know my boy we call him dirty D you know whatever that's that's Jeremy so he's just the most lovable guy but I learned this week like new habit that he has just in his speech as he calls people buddy a lot and he he could not bud not like not like a demeaning buddy or bud but it's like you know he's like he's just kind of funny the way he says it's just funny he's just like I'm I'm sorry we don't hang out more buddy and like and so we just we were just quoting buddy all the time like spend a good weekend with you buddy like like like and a lot of times it is when he's like kind of like sympathetic or like he's a dad of four like it's like 1230 we're all hanging out around this hot tub

by this Airbnb we're hanging out and he's like falling asleep at the core of the hot tub he's like I'm sorry I'm falling asleep buddy I just know I like being here with you guys buddy like for whatever reason it was just so like awesome I really like your family buddy I don't know like just everything you just such a kind but we he said buddy over and over again so buddy yeah and he kind of said it with like a softy like buddy buddy almost like butter a buddy buddy yeah uh so anyway he's just the best man so we're getting old though man our we're i mean i was looking around the group and all of us just have a little more gut than we used to you know we played uh this game at can't

we went back to camp for a little bit and played this game ultimate four square and it is the best game and and truly i i believe did you guys play it ever yeah It's fun. Like the giant force. Yeah, one of the guys at our camp was like, we invented this for this area. Okay. And I don't know if it's true or not. He believes it's like the event.

That's fine. But like you can only play it in an area like we were playing it. Yeah. Like it's not like a very like we could never play on the beach. We could never play in a basketball court. It has to be a springboard floor with tons of space. But not too much space. Yeah.

And it has to have walls around it. Like a couple buddies. Need some buddies. and yeah anyway it's so fun but like we're like the next day everyone's like dude are you sore yes dude are you sore like one of my friends brought like two knee braces with them to play pickle ball you know like dude we're getting so old and so then uh there was a staff member that came up like while we were playing this staff member at camp so like a you know 21 year old girl probably and she's like I love the y'all are playing this this is so cool we know how to play this game

it's like well yeah you do because of how we knew how to play like yeah But we said something like, yeah, we used to all work at camp here a while back. And she's like, yeah, just a couple years ago probably. And she kind of said it like that like jokingly. But I was like, oh, so you look at us and think, these guys look old. You know, like. And a lot of us like Jeremy, buddy, he's he's bald now, buddy. You know, and like some of us have like salt and pepper, you know, hair.

Like we are getting old. Yeah, you look old. Like as a group, you look old. Correct. But we don't feel that old. You know, we're still playing to Dashi on the. And most of you don't have knee braces, which is good. Correct.

But all of us probably think, I even said, like, are those things worth it? Like, do I need to get some of those? How do it make you feel? He's like, dude, I do actually really enjoy it, you know. And that's how I feel with these dumb calf compression sleeves. Everyone makes a comment about them. I hate them. I'm like, they do help.

But I got to wean myself off of them. I got to just, I got to grow up. My cap's got to grow up. Were you saying something about this last night? Like, there was a guy that was like, or no yeah it was you that was like even yeah there's a guy I grew up with and he he always wears him but he wears like the ones that are like copper infused but like so if you ever see him in shorts he's got them the knee high yeah and uh then he's like yeah and if you ever see me

not and wear not wearing shorts I'm also not wearing shorts yeah yeah wearing pants if you ever seen wearing pants he's also got them underneath yeah yeah yeah but he just like every day he can't know he can't wear them he can't quit him dude yeah just can't quit him you better be careful you know it's just like taking testosterone you know you can't stop once you start yeah yeah goodbye beard you stop it yeah i probably got a it's tournament week this week so even though i'm like caps feel pretty good i probably don't need them like can't get hurt the week of the tournament throw them on again every time i play you're just like justifying it every time like well it's tournament week and it's like well i just played in a tournament so i got let him recover

well you know what's up Sorry, I was about to say something and I just got so overwhelmed by how much I love good ranchers meat, dude. Every now and then I'll get overwhelmed with what it feels like gratitude. And then I realize, I don't think that's gratitude. I think that's just like a lack of like antibiotics. Really? That's what it feels like. It's like not in my, not in my veins, dog.

Yeah. A-Bs, no way. Get behind me, seed oils. Get behind me seed oils. That's what we say. You're not welcome here. Nice try. Yeah.

Not today. Not today. Added hormones. Not today added hormones. Yeah. Because we're here with good ranchers. The power of Christ compels you. Yes.

Non-organic meat. Okay. Very good. That's good. Yeah. Did you ever see the exorcism of Emily Rose? A lot of it is because she had like store-bought steak. Is it really?

The opening scene is. Well, because store-bought steak a lot of times does not truly come from America, even if it's labeled as product of the USA. They like, they packaged it. They can package it here. Scott can put his plastic over it. Yeah. Yeah. Scott could take his Vietnamese corrugated, corrugated boxes and shove it.

No. Honestly, no. honestly that's that's who we are sorry we have we have assembly instructions for the the Christmas tree that Rachel put up on the ground right now well it'll be Christmas soon enough we'll be glad we have them and it's like how do we put this thing together that's already still together it's still together it's 10 feet away right now good rachelors.com Merrick me delivered such an embarrassing story but when I was in like the fifth grade

maybe for like a year or two I was like really self-conscious about my weight as a kid and so there was i got this hand-me-down emmitt smith reversible jersey yeah sick one side blue the other side white and i thought that that jersey made me look slimmer okay and so i wore that jersey to school every day it was so slim every day i don't know for how long it was at least several months where no way yeah and like my my parents were like trying to be sweet about it stuff they knew that I was going through the yeah yeah but like I'd like you know do the reverse and be like oh it's a different jurors yeah oh like people thought that I was like really into the cabboys I didn't care about the guy yeah so by the way that

22 just like slimming yeah 11 would be even better dude yeah that's funny man so you were known as the Emmett smith like oh my my brothers still make fun of me like this day oh yeah you gotta yeah I mean what's it that weird that's so funny weight Emmett Smith phase. Yeah. Like somebody's gonna like someday they're gonna be in around

and sort of kind of like we were at the camp like remember Caleb Sullivan? He was the kid that only wore Emmett Smith that Emmett Smith. Oh that guy. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Well,

I related because it's like you're talking about getting used to the compressions. Well, at a certain point I was just like, oh, this is how I look slimmer now as I have to wear this. I didn't think like I could just, you know, change my diet and exercise a little bit.

I'm like in six, seven the grade at that time. That's so good, man. Yeah, you're like, if I wear anything else at school, I mean, they're not even going to recognize me. I'm going to look so huge. It's going to be obvious. I'm not wearing the jersey today. Oh, yeah.

I think what broke me out of it was I started going to a Christian school and there was a uniform. And so I had to start wearing uniform. Okay. That broke the cycle. Okay. That saved you. Yeah. If not, then you still might be wearing that jersey.

You might have it on today. That's wild, dude. That's funny. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, it's funny. Like, even now, I'm like, I'm kind of just in the row back. I'm just like, I'm so content. It's not because I think it looks, oh, slimming on me or anything,

but it's like, I don't think about it too much at all. You just put on some kind of rowback every day and just like, we're good. It's nice. Yeah, I think I've stopped. It's not that I don't care at all about the way I like dress, but it's like I think I like rowback and I'm totally fine just wearing row back every day now. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like if it were something like ridiculous looking, I don't know. Maybe this doesn't look ridiculous. If anybody wants to tell me, hey, you look like an idiot. Ridiculous? Hey, hey. And my kids love the doggy. They're like, you got doggy. Dog shirt.

Yeah. So. And I'm like, I wear these every day. Why are you surprised? You know, I'm so excited about it. It's been, I think you guys know, I've talked about this. Rachel and I, like, are a form of budgeting this year. Like last year, the hard thing we did was run a mile every day.

This year, the hard thing we're doing is not buying any clothes. Yeah. And it's great. It really does teach you contentment of like, I have everything I need. I don't need any new clothes. It's way harder on Rachel, you know, just like as trends come and go. Yeah. It's like, there's deals in anthropology.

Sure. She's, you know, just like, I need it. I need it. It's not gone. But I still feel that a little bit, too. It's like, yeah, there is a deal running or it's, you know, whatever. Just like, I'm tired of wearing the same shirts, but also like, who cares? Yeah.

I'm married. Yeah. I wear calf sleeves. I clearly I don't care about how I look. That's what it is. Just wear the same stuff. You don't have anything wrong with your calf, but you're like, I need something to define myself differently. It's how I get away.

Those are my clothes. It's like, I just go right up to the line. Rachel said calf sleeps are okay I'm gonna wear him Dude Bo got me kind of thinking today Kind of in that same vein Like he was like jokingly like holding on to me Like you don't leave

You can't leave Why do you have to go work? You know whatever And I was like well I have to make money So we can have you know food in a house And uh clothes And he goes We already have all those things

Dang It's like good point maybe yeah I was like well you're going to get bigger someday And then I thought Well, hopefully I don't ever need new clothes then. Like, if that's the case, like, you know, but I'm like, dang, maybe I should just never buy new clothes again. You're like, well, and then that's how you get homeschooled.

Yeah. That's where it gets a little like, she wears the same long sleeve, denim skirt every single day. Wow, that's so admirable. Yeah. That's what most people say when they see that. Yeah. But have you guys seen the hack where you can, you can get Target brand clothes?

Like, is it Goodfellow and Company? Is that their brand? You get, Target will take returns like up to, you. a year, even without the tags on it and stuff. I saw this, like, it was on TikTok or something a while ago. Really? Or this lady, every 10 months, she just takes all of her kids' clothes back. And she, like, when she buys this stuff originally, she, like, scans her apps. So she doesn't need a receipt. It just all logs in the out. She takes all their kids clothes back and returns at all. And then just goes and gets new clothes. She does, she's been doing that

for like four years or something. And I know ethically, it's like, it's not okay. But it's just like crazy. That does rub me the wrong way for whatever reason. I mean. I love a good hack. But every once in a while, it's like, I know I'm intentionally doing this wrong. Yeah, I'm just going to do it anyway. But then again,

sometimes there's a gray area for me when it's like, it's Target. They'll be fine. They're going to be fine. But it's, some people are just built different. Like I just,

I can't even like post something on Facebook marketplace that I'm trying to get rid of. I just don't have, I just don't have like the, the inspiration to like do things, like to take advantage of things like that. Like, I'd rather just like, well, okay, yeah, tell me more about this.

I'm trying to like diagnose this. Like there's something about like, yes, I could make money in a sense by like taking advantage of return policies. I could make money by selling some things around the house or I could just make money how you're supposed to, which is like your job. Okay. Like I would rather like if I, if you look at everything as income, it's like, could I spend time on that or just spend time on like podcasting and Friday Pickavall?

I think I'd rather just spend time doing that. But there's a lot of people out there that are like this are, we have a fixed income, no matter how much we work on our job. Whereas you're like, oh, I can just work harder on this. And that's probably what creates that. We will see a direct correlation to me working harder and me making more money. Versus like some people are like, I'm working this many hours every month. And therefore I'm getting paid this much money.

So if I want to make more money, I got it on my clothes. I got a back the system. Yeah, one of my, I had a buddy who, a buddy who like one time was going to a wedding and it was out of town wedding. they're bringing their baby and they bought all this stuff at Target to use for like a like a pack and play for their baby and like all these different things like a pillow and all these things and they're like and we're just going to return them before we leave I'm like you're going to use them intentionally and then return it's like that that I don't like that like it's one thing

to be like we're going to buy it and then we're returning it like that's that's innocent but it's like they're not because I don't think Target's going to then resell that right there's kind of like i don't know what they do i don't want to know i'm just kidding we found out that one of our videographers it was the last comedy tour with tray this videographer that came out was probably 10 weekends i mean he was there like a third of the time we found out he didn't own any of his gear like the first day of the tour stop he would like go to a best buy and like buy a camera and then return it on sunday wow like what dude yeah did you hear about that movie that they made it was like my date with drew barrymore you remember this movie at all this guy did the same

thing he went to a circuit city back in the day oh yeah that's why they're out of business now any way you want remember that song that was that commercials yeah well he he would he bought like a ten thousand dollar nice camera to like make this documentary and he had to film it within the return policy window and then he returned it and there's actually like a movie about the movie now or something but it was kind of wild and I just remember thinking that like yeah it's just it's just kind of skeezy okay maybe I'm being hypocritical because I did do something this week actually this week and it was intentionally like I'm buying this I'm taking it back okay so be the judge real quick for me I so I'm building all these beds right yeah and they are like you know

obviously I'm building them I'm building 17 queen beds three twin beds and a full bed so it's like 21 beds and they're like we're using this one kind of mattress from Costco and I look up the dimensions online and I'm like like the dimensions that I'm building I'm like that's close but I think it should work but I don't know how much you know give this thing has or how tall it's going to be if that's going to work and it's a it's one of those mattresses in a box okay and so I was like I think I just got to go get one yeah truly test it but be and so I yeah I got it out of the box opened just a little bit of like the like plastic so it would just air out enough I see yeah but like intentionally unwrapped the plastic from it didn't never

no never used it true i mean obviously like sat on it a few times like purposely knew i was taking it back so tried to take very good care of it but also i'm like are they shrinking that thing back down yeah what happens next and so i did i return it literally the next day yeah terrible to return some a massive bed like that like they have those like carts that you can kind of wield it on but it's like flimsy and going all over the place it's Costco so there's a million people around and I'm trying to maneuver this thing. But I went back and forth a lot on if I should do that. I think that's totally fine.

Really? Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty smart, actually. Oh, because it was like, I'm making so many beds. I can't screw this up. Well, and initially I was like, I'm not going to do that. Like, I'm just going to trust the measurements. But I was like, if I get to South Dakota and everything's off by a half an inch, that's nice.

Like, what do I do? Like, you can't, just like when you get your haircut, you can't add on more hair once you cut it off. It's like, you can't. I can't. And I was like making sure this first bed was perfect size so that the rest of them, then I could just knock them out. So I just went for it. But I really was torn about it.

I don't even have a second thought about that. Okay. That's great. Okay. Because you also, yeah, they could easily sell that to our customer. It was the box. It was the bed in the box like thing. Like if it were like a mattress firm, like you just go and get it and throw it in the truck

and then I, whatever. But it was like, I don't know if it's going back in that box. Maybe they can suck it back in. Which size mattress. Did you buy? Queen. And so did you compare that with what they said the queen dimensions were to kind of see like, all right,

can I trust the dimensions on the website? Yeah. The main concern was how, like it's one of those ones that doesn't need a box spring. So it's like 14 inches tall, like a really big old thing. And so I was trying to figure out, yeah,

like is this going to be tall enough too tall, whatever? So. And is it going to be able to like squeeze in between here? And yeah, it worked out fine. But anyway. Yeah.

So let me know if I'm like being a hypocrite. I'd be like, I can't believe my friends would do this. And I did the same thing. Ethical or not? What do you think, Caleb? Full transparency, I've done the buy and return thing. On the target? Not Target, but Amazon.

Okay. The probably the biggest one that I did was we went to Disney World. Like, it was the first time we were taking, you know, and at the time there's, I think, just three kids. You dog, you dog, man. And I got, like, a really nice jogging stroller that was like side by side. Oh, yeah. We had a stroller, but it was conky. And I was thinking all day at Disney.

So it was like a $300 jogging stroller And we got it And so then like after we were done for the weekend I just packed it up Oh You're gonna be somebody else And somebody's talking about this I can't believe my friend did this

That's great And I do feel guilty about it So there's been remorse There's been repentance Yeah Yeah whatever There's gray areas for everything I'm like I don't know

You know Can they afford Whatever XYZ But if you're going to Disney world You might be able to afford Some of them No because I was going to Disney I couldn't afford it

That's also true dude I don't even want to know how much all that stuff costs. Is it just crazy? Yeah, well, they have like Florida resident discounts. Oh, nice. They have like a deal where you can do like a four days for $59 a day. Oh, that's not bad per person. Oh, that's not bad.

A little Val Rico discount maybe. I love that town. El Rico getting some shoutouts, boy. Yeah, man. El Rico? Val. Oh, it is Val. Val.

Yeah. That's where Val Kilmerish from. Cool. No. No. Dang. you about a bunch of Cubans you know all right uh let's wrap up this episode uh but kate was going to join us for the Wednesday episode and we'll get to know Caleb a little bit more

I want to know about your your podcast and yeah how you got here and you can do it Caleb was like he's like I don't want to say something stupid tomorrow on the podcast I'll like to you're five I've already talked about 15% too much oh please dude get out of here uh let's do our reviews of the week yeah let me find my testimonial sorry yeah testimony of the week we'll do a little jingle a little bit of jingle all right I don't know if we have any new ones

let's see have we done Daniel NGO yeah Daniel NGO did we do all of HGF no that was what I was looking at I think you go for it you want to go every other word

you want to go yeah all right let's do it let's try to do it like you didn't even understand though that it was every other word like we really naturally said this okay okay all right you start this podcast is a hilarious clean comedy podcast hosted by jake triplet and brad alice their chemistry is unmatched blending quick improv goofy bits and real life stories the hyphen got me all right good try good try take us home real life stories that keep you laughing and feeling like you're hanging with close friends it's refreshing it's real life

Refusively wholesome. It's refreshingly wholesome. Consistently funny and perfect for listeners who want comedy without crudeness. Not much oil in here. Highly recommend from Olive HGF. Thank you. It's a five-star review, by the way.

That's our review. So thank you for that. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? No pressure? I actually would not, Jake. Great. I would like Caleb.

To end this episode with the jingle. Holy crap. Can I do my review of the week, though? Oh, yes, please. This is a review for ghosties on second, so sorry. Ola, I've been a ghostie since year one, but I'm off of social media and too busy for the getaways. I love that this podcast introduces me to some of the amazing community,

and it helps me feel more connected to the other fans. Love it, guys. Food truck knack. Is that knack back? Oh, food truck neck. It's one of them. There's some knack out there. One of the knacks.

Yeah, there was like two knackbacks. There's two that we know of. There's probably three or four more out there crawling in the darkness. We can talk more about Caleb next week, next episode. But I've learned that like Caleb's a huge fan of ours, but also like, there's so many things he doesn't know about us. Great. He's an old, he's a new fan. Also learned from Caleb, you heard about karaoke mode?

What's that mean? Apparently Apple Music has a ability to turn off the, and I'm sure it doesn't work for every single song. Right. But like, most songs. Yeah. So you can actually get the real track rather than always trying to find the YouTube

like instrumental. You can also. Isn't that neat? Spotify's kind of up their closet. Maybe I could try it out. You change the volume of the vocal track too. So you can like put a little bit of vocal in there to kind of help you stay on track.

Or you can like drop it out completely. Is that like you have to be a paid member? I guess everyone's a paid member of Apple Music, right? Yeah. So it's like this at the bottom of the lyrics, you'd click on that and that's your volume level for the vocals. That's easy, easy. You can do that.

That's sweet. Pretty dope. I have like a music subscription to find the, you know, music for videos. And like they've got all the stems in there. So you can only do just the bass, just the drums, just the melody. But those aren't real songs. So I don't think it was that cool. That's cool.

That's pretty cool. Anyway, Maddie Dieterley had heard that Caleb's going to be on the podcast. Apparently is a huge high school musical person along with Caleb. And so she wrote a song to high school musical, but I don't think either. of us know this song maybe you do uh but anyway let me copy and paste this uh to you here jacob and time and time is going to get to Caleb's a little worried he's gonna be just fine i'm really no matter what happens it's like five times better than anything i could i was like bro you haven't listened enough of the podcast to hear all the terrible jingles we've done well she

initially she wrote a different jingle for a different high-skinned musical song that i'm more familiar with oh okay but it was very ghosties on second centric like it's pretty much about ghosties on second the whole thing i see i so i was like that doesn't feel the right to like sing that one on dude do everyone would you rather do that one honestly dang it maybe up to you you'd go for it we don't care truly already I mean and honestly the merch in our face so it's another song that's right it's not for sale don't we don't we don't sell much we just just have it's how we do with our Friday stuff do you have a track that we can put in yeah what's name of that song

um bet on it oh yeah that one's great bet on it bed on I do know that one I do know that Yeah, so for the ghosties at home, if you've seen the memes of like Zach Efron dressed in all black. Frolicing. Yeah, like dancing through a golf course. All right, bet on it, instrumental. All right, it should come through your headphones. Let me know if you need it louder, quieter. I should pull up the lyrics, actually.

Good. More treble, more bass. I can't do those, but just let me know if you need it. Is there any like a verb I could put on this? Okay, timing. Just a little bit. Yeah, let me figure it out. Do you want the version that contains a low-volume vocal guide to help you learn the song?

Could I just play the real track? If you want to get on the Bluetooth. Yeah, my laptop's already synced to the Bluetooth. Oh, never mind. You're good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you want the reverb and you're doing a song about your podcast. You figure out the reverb.

I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick. Let me verb it up real quick. Oh, nice. Almost there. This one goes out to Shelby, baby. I love you. It's hard to start He had to get that shout out, boy
