I feel like it's back where it was. Maybe it was a nice spot. It's all of a sudden done. Back to where we had it. That's kind of how it goes sometimes. Like, do you ever do that in the shower? Like, whoa, that's way too hot. And then you go down to cold and it's like, I kind of miss.

Now I got to go back to the hot. I kind of acclimated to the hot. No, I never do that. I started out scalding and I love it. Really? Our shower and Airbnb in New York City. We're starting. This is it.

We're starting. This is it. I can feel the magic. Oh, baby. The, uh, I, I hate. Catherine, do the, do the camera. It's the producer to do it. But wait, it should be on, okay.

I'm sorry. You can do it. Patty did it. You can do it. I know. I'm going to get distracted. Okay. I've been on the record saying this before, but I don't like new microwaves.

I don't like new showers because they're all a little different. Yes. I don't think I can always remember which one is hot and which one's cold. I thought you're going to say, which one's the microwave and which one's a shower. Sometimes the shampoo acts up when you put your head in the microwave. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. then they got the showers right at like waist level and that's not good for anybody yeah what were you actually confused by uh every once in a while like like katherine's your your bathroom at your parents house they have three nozzles in the bottom yes and sometimes it's like i think i know which way i turn the hot and which one's cold and which one but sometimes it's like they both go from like out to in you know and so then you like are screwing them both and all of a sudden

And it's just like only scalding hot water is left. And I'm just finagalin. Too many independent variables. Yeah, I don't like it. This was a, it sounds like you had three like knobs. I had like three handles. Also scary. Yeah.

And so it's like, all right. I finally figure out which one turns on the shower. Okay, that's probably its only role in the shower functionality. Okay. Well, now we got a second shower head. So one of these is that. Okay, figure that up. One left, that's got to be temperature.

Well, I'm cranking left, cranking right. It doesn't matter. So hot. So eventually, I mean, I mean, there are 10 minutes. Can't figure out how to get this shower colder. You're steaming. I'm doing dumb things. It doesn't make sense.

I'm like, well, maybe I'll turn this down. And yeah, of course, it turns the water off. Yeah, okay, I figured. I figured it's turned like on. Eventually, I'm just like, I guess I have to grow up and I just have to be a man in the shower. You just sucked it up and just like second degree burns in the shower. Yeah, I was like, I guess, I mean, Scott did it earlier and he didn't even say anything about it. So I guess I just truly showered like limb by limb.

Oh, just like at a time. Get to arm. Like a flash shower. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. So that wasn't fun. Anyway, guess where I got this smart water from? This is for everyone. Quick trip. Okay, quick. It's my guess. Oh, Walmart. Oh, good guess. Jake's a big Walmart guy. Correct answer is Office Max. Oh, I've been there. I was there twice yesterday. How about that? Okay. This is perfect. This is where I'm going with this. Great. So when you go into Office Max, like I did at about 845 this morning, they've just opened up. They're not happy to see me.

No. And, you know, sun's real low in the sky. It's real bright. You know, it's reflecting off the automatic doors. I'm squinting. Wow. That's picturesque right there. It's beautiful.

Oh, the automatic doors just welcome me. Yeah, when COVID hit, I was like, oh, I can't go to office, man. Automatic doors open, and there's a glare. There's a glare. There's a glare, guys, okay? And I see the silhouette of a man welcoming me into office, Max. Oh, no. So I start to see.

I love that you've been there recently, so you know, I'm about to say. I start to say good morning to this young man. Yeah, yeah. Hey, good morning. And I realize that is a decal of Shaquille O'Neal. That is not a person welcoming me to Office Max. Oh, you're low on ink. Yeah, he gets you when you first walk in the doors.

Yeah. He's there about eye level. And then he gets you again as you go to the right. And then he's like, life-size cut out. They love shack at Office Max. Life-size. I don't even know if they, if he knows he's in there.

That's amazing. So you know. You know about Shaq. Yeah. Is that what you thought he was going to say? 100%. I thought you were going to say you couldn't see very well and you misgendered this person. Oh, yeah.

Good morning, young man. Hey, sir. No, right me to said, I was like, oh, that's the cardboard cut out. Really? Yeah. Yeah, just this whole thing of Shaq. It just, I don't know, it looks like a guy. Looks exactly like a guy.

Yeah, that's a guy. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this type means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white meat too then west best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost of a podcast uh yeah catherine morning morning you're taking around a ghost on a podcast What are we doing at office max these days guys uh yeah katherine you want to go first sure number four all right nailed it

Welcome to the podcast. That was just like Hattie. You just, I mean. Was that? Yeah, sure. Well, maybe that was her tip. She gave me a tip last night, but I can't remember what it was. What was I doing there?

Oh, well, you know, the school year's getting started for some people. So I was there getting school supplies. Well, the first time I was there, I was picking up an online order. I had printed a few things, first day of school sign, you know, some weekly checklist, things like that. And then the second time I was there, I was buying. buying random things that like I thought maybe I should go to Walmart because this is such an kind of odd assortment but then I was like no office max is probably where it is like I was buying what was I buying removable double stick tape oh I think you got ripped off have you

ever even heard of that I had never even heard of it that it was removable I just there was one I don't know how I'm not like I don't have my finger on the tape expenses like the cost of tape but I remember buying tape for office max one time thinking there's no way it costs this much everywhere. Well, then don't ask how much removable double-sided tape was. Was it kind of crazy, though? Well, I've never heard of it. And so I was like, surely this is just the going rate.

How much you think you paid for it? I don't want to. Just guess. It's novel. It's a new invention. It was $7. Does that? Actually, if I'm being honest, it was $7.97.

Thank you. You were embarrassed. That doesn't seem that crazy. But it was buy one, get one. 50% off. So I got two. Gotcha. that's nice to you're still doing first day of school pictures

I am and I don't think I knew that homeschool takes off in the summer I mean it makes sense obviously they should some people don't okay and props to them I'm not cut out for that but some people do they school all year I guess is what they say and so they will like take a break every six weeks or something they're like they'll do like six weeks of school then they're off for a week and then six weeks of school and offer a week and then I think when summer starts maybe they take two weeks off or three weeks off I don't know people out there probably really I don't like how I described that but that's that's not that's not I just that's what I think I'm like I just want summer like I just want summer like I love summer I want

three months of it what if we just did both what if we did all summer and then just six weeks at a time and then took a week off people do that too that's what we should do and just cram for those six weeks okay that's kind of what they do does yeah they have a break every six weeks I just, I'm such a fan of like, like, I think last night we were talking about going to Texas and whatever. And you're like, well, that means we've missed school for a long time. I was like, we're home like, we can, that's the whole point is we can be off for a week and a half we went to. And Catherine's like, that's not the point. And I was like, well, okay. I love the idea of the flexibility of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So when is the first day school for you guys? Um, hopefully on

Monday, but honestly, we'll see how I'm feeling. You know, okay. I might wake up that day. That's the beauty of awesome. That's why we do it. I mean, that's the first. I mean, y'all will be gone. That's Gulf Shores. The way it kind of landed was Gulf Shores time. And so at first I was like, oh, this could be really great.

Like, let's, you know, Brad's not going to be around. Might as well start school. Let's give us something to do every morning. But then again, it's also Brad's not around. So we could all be really stressed and tired of each other. And maybe this is not going to work. Henry. Henry's going through something right now.

Catherine's going through something because of Henry. Thank you. Thank you. That's more accurate. What's Henry doing? Oh, he's just being a kid. So he's doing this thing where he like doesn't want to be happy ever. I mean, kind of. I mean, not truly, but like,

there's terrible twos and then there's unhappy ones. Yeah. What they should say. Yeah, I don't know. We can't tell if he's just feeling some type of way or what. Yeah. He was sick a couple days ago. So I feel like it's post.

Not super consolable. Yeah, and just whining a lot. He just wants me to hold him all the time. And, you know, thanks a sister. I know, right. Just wants a mom to care for him. And Captain's like, that ain't me, kid. Be like your sister.

Go to another door. Yeah, be like your sister. Well, Katta, thanks for being on the podcast. You know, New Heights's got Taylor Swift on it. But I feel like we got you. It's a big week for podcasting. I go, Taylor Swift's going to be on New Heights. She goes, what's new heights?

I really did. Right before we come over, he goes, yeah, Taylor, Swiff's going to be on New Heights and I go, I just said, Taylor Swift's on. I thought it was going to be a location, like Outer Banks or something. Season 4 of New Heights. I know, truly. So I was like, I don't, what is it? What is

New Heights? Yeah. Brad's like, yeah, Taylor's going to be on New Heights. Huh, I don't listen to Bluegrass. That's cool, though. That's cool that she's doing that with them. New Heights. Yeah. She gets star. Yeah. But anyway, I might watch, listen. What do I do to New Heights? Okay.

Do I listen? How do I get to the Heights? That's amazing. Where do I find new rights? Can AI do that for me? That was funny. You said you're like, oh, I'll listen to that one. And then I told her about like that short little clip of them talking. Kelsey and Taylor Swift and about like, yeah, it's the color of your eyes, sweetie.

And she goes, oh my gosh, I'm not listening to that. I'm going to go out on it. I mean, I'm not really. Let's be real. Okay, you're back. I'm still curious. Still curious. Yeah.

She might not make it through a whole episode. Are they long episodes? There are kind of, well, traditional. I think they're like hour and a half, two hours. I can't imagine somebody that's do a podcast that long. When I'm recording this, it hasn't come out yet. But, yeah, I mean, Rachel said this is the one time you're allowed to use the term break the internet.

She's like, most of the time I think people really overuse that phrase. But this is going to like set records that might not be broken for a long time. Really? I feel like of like most downloads in the first 24 hours, most YouTube views of a podcast. I'm predicting. Surely it will. Yeah. You would think.

I mean, she's like larger than life. She doesn't do podcast. She doesn't go on late night. Everything she would do would help the other person more than it would help her. Very true. She's such a popular. She doesn't perform at the Super Bowl because it would help the Super Bowl more than it would help her. Crazy.

So yeah. Sounds a little selfish. I'm kidding. Taylor's probably a sweet girl. Find out on Wednesday. Yeah. I was about to ask when it comes out Wednesday, as in tomorrow. As in four days ago, five days ago.

Oh, gosh, that's so confusing. Yeah, I know. You started homeschool today. yeah you did as you're listening to this as the ghosts are listening to this you are struggling through your first lesson with beau no struggling I am pumped to start school with him I am so excited I think because he's so excited like he like yesterday I think it was he was like mom can we start real school today yeah I know he's so excited I think he's excited to learn how to read Brad pays Hattie a dollar for every chapter book she reads and so Beau's like I'd like to cash in And so at last night I did her, Haddy was like, well, Bo, you need to learn how to read but after you learn how to read, every book you read, dad'll give you a dollar.

Hetty did say, Bo, I'll even teach you how to read. Like, she was trying to like... Yeah. Yeah, it was going to be like Shirelo Buff and Hector Zerone a little bit. Yes. Oh, I see. Zero didn't know. Zero didn't know.

I just, don't you think that's a good idea? Like a dollar for every... This is your version of accelerated reading. It's great. The return on investment. That's our book it. You guys ever do book it? We did accelerated reading.

reading is that way book it would they do a pizza hut personal paid pizzas yeah yeah springfield schools did book it yeah we're big bucket people and i like the book it um yeah i'm just like for the return on event like she's going to be so much smarter so much better if she just reads and it's like okay she even she if she reads 50 books a year that's 50 bucks when you look at it like an investment yeah i guess you're right it is it is great and like of course like when she's 15 i'm not going to let her read nancy drew for a dollar you know i'm going to make sure they're better Okay. But I think I didn't even incentivize her.

I said after you read 30 books or something like that, I was like, then I'll start giving you $2 for the rest of the books that you read. Oh, yeah, kind of Accelerator program. Jeez. Honestly, don't listen to this, Hattie, but I would, she could negotiate her own price. Like, I just think it's that important and that, like, valuable.

And, like, I like, I like reading. I wish I liked it more. And I think maybe if there was incentivized, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe you hear that, though, with kids and it's like, incentivizing is bad for kids. I don't know. but I'm doing it.

I don't think reading's bad, so I think you're doing the right thing. Yeah. Speaking of reading, uh, so Rachel last night was telling me one of our friends, Morgan Caldwell, she's hilarious.

Did the, Kevin, do you tell Brad about this? Yes. But, but I still don't really, go ahead. Okay.

Well, the connection to reading is it sounds like, like our friend Morgan is having a back to school party. I mean, she's 30, but it is dividing all of her friends like, and there's going to be this, you know,

you need to wear this. What are the details? And Morgan's not even a teacher. That's what's so funny. And like, She doesn't even have school-aged children. I just thought the whole thing was so funny coming from Morgan because I was like, you have no connection to school right now.

But I loved it. Like it was so funny. And this is an adult only, like a girls-only part? Girls only, yeah. Oh, I thought it was like a mom's thing, like with your kids. And so I was like, oh, no, no, no. No, it's just for the girls. Like, Rachel's going.

I see. Yeah. But one of the things is there's going to be a spelling bee. Yeah. So Rachel asked me to start quizzing her last night. Okay. And, yeah, she, last night I learned, I was like, Like, I think Rachel might be a better speller than I am.

And I thought I was pretty good at spelling. Oh, yeah. And it's because she reads. Yes. I guess I should for sure start spelling with Hattie next week then to get myself prepared for this part. Rachel is pretty confident, but she thinks you're her toughest competition. She's like, I may not have Catherine. I may not have Catherine.

It's going to be between me and her. Yes. Wow. That is, that is a. I don't know. Are you? Brad. Are you really good?

Speller? I don't know. I don't know if you're a great verbal speller. Can I say that? Spelling me on the podcast? Yeah, maybe. Because I think you get a little tripped up over your letters. You're like, wait, okay, it's hard for me.

Because sometimes I'll be like... I have to go slow. Like new heights. No, no, heights, like, H-E-I-G-H-T-S. I know I'll spell that. Oh, like, it takes her a second. I'm that way too. Okay.

The processing time. That's because Brad will say like, yeah, okay, here's the phone number. 9-13-9-29-783-3-5. Except he doesn't faster than that. Dang. I didn't want to do your real numbers. I think of another number. Point is, he'll say a number like so fast.

And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just getting to the 903. Okay. I do that intentionally. It's annoying. I think it's like it's, I do it intentionally with my kids because I want them to learn how to like play back something in their head rather than like, oh, like having me like, like if you say, dad, how do you spell Pennsylvania?

I would be like, P-E-N-N-S-Y-L. And, you know, like, and so that way they can like, stop. start it, but they have to remember what it is said. No, you do P-E-N-N-S-Y-L-A-N. Yes, you do. Not we're Pennsylvania. Not, not, I've never done that. I would. I do Vermont. V-E-R-M-O-N-T. I would. I would do that. Right at, Hattie. Vermont. And sometimes she needs me to repeat it, but like I'm a big, because, Catherine, if I go, oh, Vermont, V-E-R-M-O-N-T, slow down. Okay, V-R. I've just got into the V. Like, here back in your head. I don't know. Brad, your first word. Oh, we're doing so maybe.

And she's like, well, I guess we're just going to go with M at the beginning. Everyone's already saying it.

There you go. Keep going. Fusili. Oh, what's that? It's the silliest of them all. Are they really? That's silly. It's the goofiest one.

Here at that restaurant called moo-ya, moo-y-mooy-mooy-moo-ya. Is it an ice cream place? It's like burgers and ice cream. Yeah. Ah, didn't know about the burgers. Did they have seed oil free? They do not.

Was it antibiotic, uh, no out of antibiotics? Hormone free? They didn't tell us there. If it was, they didn't talk about it. They support American farmers like good ranchers does? If they did, they didn't, it wasn't on the flyers. Man, I love good ranchers. I'm excited.

They are sending us, oh, like right there. They have my stamp of approval. They are sending us so much meat for the Ghostfurt's Getaway. Yeah. It's going to be a meat sausage party, like a meat fest. Like just a week long, just time with meat. Yes. It will fester.

It's going to be awesome, Kath. we're going to have brots we're going to have bacon pork everywhere what cat some brots some brots some bacon some bacon but pork oh you'll be stepping on bacon you'll be stepping on pork oh yeah it'll be in your bed oh yeah in your goody bag it'll be thawed a beat the porky pig's going to be there good ranchers are sponsor today it can also be all over your house that's right order enough right to your door it'd be spilling out of your fridge don't you're bed yeah that's right that's right you know rachel brought us up multiple times she loves in scooby-doo when he just like downs the sausages all at once i don't know if you can like imagine that yeah that's what that's what you could have that

Catherine, you've been dabbling with AI lately? Yeah, tell us about it. Gosh, no. Not, not dabbling one. One bit. No. Because I still can't find it. And I haven't attempted in my defense. I haven't tried. I still need to try AI.com.

I know it's not that. ChatGPT.com. That'll get you there. Okay. But how do you get there? Like, like, I mean, but genuinely, what do you say? Like, yeah, that'll get you there. But like, how are normal people getting there?

No, I bet most people are probably getting there. I just remember it was always like open. AI.com. It's like when it first started. That's how I got there. I would just like type in the oh in my browser. It would auto fill it. But I am probably in the minority. Most people are probably just going chat gpc.com. I'm going to chat. It's chat.com. Oh, is it? Okay. Seriously? How do people, how do you figure that out? Kat? How do you think? Well, like chat.com. That's a weird. That's a weird thing to say. I know, but how do you figure it out is you would go to chat GPT on Google or anywhere, probably.

And then it takes you to the link. And then from that. that point on you use that link so that's how the internet works international baccalaure okay we've all learned something so no AI yet no I bet a lot of homeschool moms are using AI I know I'm kind of behind the eight ball on that but here's a thing here's a thing my friend that Brad was talking about last time Alyssa that used AI for meal planning yeah a lot of people do that I even saw homeschool mom I saw homeschool account mom on this homeschool account whatever say like these are the the AI these are the prompts I put into AI to get field trips for this year in science projects comment AI if you want the prompts I put it

I commented I don't know why I don't know why are you a commenter on this that kind of thing I think I just think oh that's smart I'll do that so like give me the prompts and then I'll do it I don't know why I still can't find I AI so I don't know why I commented on that one point is homeschool moms do use it I don't I just think okay here's my thing I think if I were to use AI for meal plan specifically. Like if I said, give me, you know, a meal plan for, how many of us are there, six people for five nights a week. Yeah. It would spit out things like stir fry. I'm like, all right, well, well, you can't adjust it. Well, no. You have to eat stir fry now. That sucks. But that's the thing. The adjusting, I feel like would take me time. Yeah. And so then I'm like, okay, if I'm going

to all the time to adjust AI, to use AI, why don't I just do it myself with recipes I know and love. This may not be for you. Exactly. AI is pretty helpful, but it may not be for you. It may not be for me. That's just how I feel. But then again, I have not experienced it the right way.

That's the beauty of it. So I should give it a shot. Yeah, you can shoot something out for you. And then you can say, actually, we don't like this, but we have this in our pantry or we're trying to do more, you know, lean food. We have a lot of chicken in our freezer, whatever you can. And once you make an account, it remembers you. So it's like it remembers your family.

Oh, I think it's helpful. It watches your reactions to how it's type of. it'll know your kids names it'll like emit a smell like a stirru price smell my worst nightmare beau loved this one it'll say yeah anyway so i don't know i'll report back sometime after i feel like it would save a lot of time and you know what somewhere which is why i should use it because the amount of time i have used or i have used whatever on school prep this year has been astronomical like way more than the past almost non-stop i know which is stupid it should not be taking me this long but it is because that's the way I am but anyway so yes all that's same I should give

it a try you know I still haven't done science for this year maybe I'll use AI on science I think you'd be impressed and say give me yeah what are you going to say give me science or a third grader in a kindergarten I don't know I don't know what to say afraid to give it a lot of context yes okay you are like I'm hiring you to be this or you are this and I am this and my kids this and my daughter is like this age but she's advanced in this and this and you know like give it right the full context it could do a better job okay give it social security numbers yeah give it passwords no no yeah yeah I'm not dumb you're not done I'm not done I'm not done I'm not done okay well it's just easier to give it your bank password because then if you come across something you need

to buy it already can just buy it for you that makes sense yeah Amazon has it why wouldn't they yeah I think I think you'd be great with it I know okay this you can even this is this This is the nudge I need. Seriously, I will try it on science. I will. You can even, like, record, like, you can just talk to it if you want. Yeah. That sounds. I struggle with talking to my phone. But you don't have to talk to it like Siri, like a voice text. You can literally like fumble over your words if you want. Like, you may be really. Hey, so here's what I'm thinking, can you please. Like, you can talk to it like it's a person. And like to the point where it's almost like a little bit like. creepy. Yeah. We're like, okay, this isn't in person, but man, people talk to it like, it's just a friend of theirs. You know where it started across the line for me where I was like, I don't like this is when it starts to talk back. and it starts putting ums and us in there i don't like that right it's hard to explain why i but it's very i robot right really i never saw that movie you never saw i robot oh never i really all right never right wow where is i robot maybe it's a nerdy thing no i think i robot was a thing okay will smith was cool well smith i know he's cool i was an i am legend guy oh never saw that either dude really that one you should watch that's that's a top top 17 movie it's good really yeah

And for the record, I am robot is good, too. I am robot. Or what is it called? I am. Robot. And then we are, we am, Marshall was pretty good too. We am. Or we Marshall, I think it's what's called.

Whatever. I am robot. What is it? I'm robot. Thank you. It is good. The robots start thinking for themselves. Oh, boy.

I'm not, I'm not into that stuff. You'd be surprised. I don't know why Heisman. I don't either. Just kind of like, that's like me keeping the robot thing in a But it's entertaining. Yeah. It's good.

I kind of remember the trailer from that. Like Will Smith is like walking by all these robots like in like an assembly line. And what if I'm like opens its eyes or something? Like winks or something. I still remember that. Yeah. Yeah. You should watch it.

I said not me, robots. You robot all you want. No, thank you. I robot. Was that I brave heart. Yeah. You brave heart. I brave heart.

I was thinking Billy Madison. You and I will never robot. no no rob no rob no rob no rob no you watched uh happy gomore two i we sat we are new york and i did like get some editing done and so we put on the tv while i was editing so not the best viewing experience but i thought it was fine okay everyone but had like really strong opinions like unwatchable or better than the first one come on everyone's got to have some like crazy strong opinion it was entertaining i don't know when i was in and out let's let's normalize like just mediocre opinions like just 5.5 out of 10 it was fine it was a great something to have on while

i'm doing something more important like surely it's not better than the original yeah but also surely it's not like so unwatchable that it's not like at least okay whatever this is this is something there were some funny scene i think we talked about this podcast before like we ranked we talked about celebrities who we don't know who there are what they do i think bad bunny was on my list of like oh yeah what is he where do i find him katherine's a person person no you love bad bunny you're you bunny You're in the hop club. Yeah. You have his bunny ears.

He should be taking advantage of his namesake more, his given last name. This is probably even funnier if I knew what y'all were talking about. Well, it's just his name is bunny. And what do you think he got? Like an actor? Mr. Bunny. Well, yeah, he was funny. And then like he went down a wrong path and so he's bad bunny now.

Like black sheep. Or breaking bad. Breaking bad bunny. What industry do you think bad bunny is in? rap. Is that good? Is that right? To be honest, I'm only 90% sure. I think he's a musician of sorts. He's a musician of sorts. Or he's in robberies.

Yeah. Robberies. Yeah. What I'm in robberies. What about you? Or. Bad Bunny. Robberies specifically. Or probably the zoo industry. We'll be my next guess. Yeah. Right? Sure. Bad money.

Is it, am I mistaken? A zoologist is not, has nothing to do with the zoo, right? Zoologist, like the word that has the zoo in it. I understand. Don't they do something else other than zookeeping? Maybe. I remember we confused by that. Zookeeper is definitely a zookeeper.

Zucchini. Oh, never mind. I'm thinking zucchini. A zoologist is a scientist who studies in animals. Yeah, but I don't think they're not usually at the zoo. Okay, they're elsewhere. I think they're doing like deep dives on the penguins. In labs.

And they're like research. I think so. Either way. Let's see. Bad Bunny. A Puerto Rican rapper, singer, actor, and record producer. Wow.

I've seen him on SNL. That's about all I know about him. He gets around. Dubbed the, here we go, film the blank. This is his nickname, Catherine. Okay. The king of Latin blank.

The king of Latin music. Yeah, that's why I asked, because it was so easy. Trap was the right word. Oh, yeah. Latin Trap. Catherine's like, Trap. What do you think Trap is, Kath? Mousetrap.

Yeah. Ski-chuting. Yeah. Trappers. Trappers. Trappers. Trappers. Um.

Yeah. Yeah. Only as I brought it up is because he has a pretty decent role in there. Pretty funny guy. Good comedic timing. I've seen him in S&L. He was all right. Honestly, I had no idea who he was.

Okay. You're never going to believe this. Scott pointed him out to me and said, that's bad funny. I was like, I would have never, ever known. Okay, what did you think of our interaction with Scott text thread yesterday? Very funny. I ha-haed 80% of the messages. Do you support me?

It was just so funny how quickly you found it. So last week on the podcast, Brad was like, oh, yeah, Scott thinks neutrals are her white jeans. Like, yeah, Scott was supposed to wear neutrals. And so I was like, yeah, you'd probably wear white jeans. And did he? So he texted us, like, I'm laughing out loud at the idea of me wearing white jeans. I was like, I'm fairly positive. I've seen you in white jeans before.

I feel like I've seen him in white jeans before. He says, bro, not even close. And then within five seconds, I find a picture of him in seemingly white jeans. And you got it via Venmo. What? I looked up Sam's profile on Facebook. Couldn't find her on there. I don't know if she's out.

But I was like, I know I've seen this picture. And I was like, where else have I ever social media interacted with Scott? That's so funny. So the only picture of them online is. of scotten white jeans because they don't have facebook they don't have instagram there you go wow so there i mean he's right there that is kind of crazy he's like they're tan bro they looked so white right he was wearing a white shirt they looked white in that picture i think i said something like yeah uh i see this like nice young family and this guy who just got done working a job as a house painter

yeah that that was great good interaction but you think they're white looking there were they're on the white side yeah yeah mr white really white anyway that's funny bad bunny that's that's bad bunny that's bad bunny that's happy game art too now i know why'd you ask me how to happy game more too i don't know maybe adam sandler maybe Travis kelsey didtersmith honestly i have no idea why said that just just curious if you've watched it AI AI AI um I have I've been walking a little bit lately been trying to get back on that walking way to the best grind uh had two random what are we calling them one of the fake businesses what do we call those what do you mean phony phrase not phony phrases the we've done like half big business ideas

oh yes yes yes yes yes i had two when i was walking the other night um i was i was walking and uh at nine o'clock i get like all my like apps like are locked or whatever and i have to like manually unlock okay okay okay i was on spotify it locked it out and i just i just let it run i just I was quiet. It was quiet and I just... Listen to the bugs. It's amazing how funny I was in five seconds when I just didn't have something playing.

I know. It's like, man, should I do this more often? Nah. I should... Nah. Or you judge for yourself how funny these things are. They're not really... Okay, first fake business.

It's called interwebs. Got it. That's not a thing already. Sorry. This is a service or product. I haven't figured out yet. But it's just somebody who goes in front of you to get all the spider webs when you're walking something.

late at night what do you think of that was this spelled inter with an e then correct yeah interwebs yeah i love it perfect except yeah would you rather it be like a product that you like strap on like it's almost like just put it's just out in front of you it's doing this it's just kind of yeah moving around you could do it yourself or would you rather hire an interwebwebber i think i want like a little device because i needed my own interweber last night i went to the trash out late at night the spider's been hanging around slapped by us so i'm i'm i was was swinging the whole bag of trash out in front of me to like clear the ground see you get it he wasn't there he moved on but we could have chris webber as one of the spokesperson that's one

or spider man little webby little webby they're bad he's in prison bad bad bad spider um all right i like interwebs okay and then the next one is called outies or outie's soldier okay it's pronounced It's spelled like this. O-U-T-E-A-S-E. So instead of at ease... Kater and I need a little bit more time. Truly, truly. Out-E.

O-U-T. O-U-T-D-S-G. Got that far. Out. E-A-S-E. Out-E-A-S-E. Out-Ease. So a lot of times in the armed forces,

which I have never been a part of, but I've watched movies. They say, at ease. at ease soldier at ease private so outies is when uh people get out of the military they've seen some stuff they've experienced some stuff front lines they need to have help uh transitioning back into the real world okay who's gonna help them not the government not uncle sam yeah right trump's trump doesn't care about the soldiers like we do at our ease they don't got and what does out ease provide help support support services people settle into the retired life from the armed forces.

How in the world did you get there? I have no idea. Truly, literally just walked into a spider web, thought of that one, and then thought of another one. Out of six. Out of ease, soldier.

Hey, just spent the last 18 months out east. Come join us at out ease. That's right. And we don't even need to see your belly button. No. We will if that's something that you need to help process the experience. Yeah.

Yeah. We actually shot a video this morning. I wrote this script for like trying to learn the like serve and pick a ball because I truly think the rule is the ball has to be hit below your belly button which is so funny to me oh wow and so I was like we should write a script about just the confusion of that so like Isaac and I are first timers and Scott's like no it's got to be lower than that like how low blow the belly button and Isaac and I are just going back and well who's policing that when do they check when do we show them right before every serve or do they measure it before

you know I'm just like I haven't he has an Audi he's embarrassed by his because you have to throw is this like a Kyle X Y situation where you weren't born of them what happened no yeah Enough about the belly button. Kyle X Y is doing an overhead serve. That's funny. Yeah, it's like, do you think most people's belly button is pretty proportionate to, like, could you point to everybody's belly button on their body? I think it's pretty proportionate. Because every once in a while somebody in the backside, they got a tall crack.

Gosh. I'm just saying, is it the same thing with body button? Because I think the, like the golden ratio and everything, like it's all, generically, generally. the same measurements everything but there's got to be some variability we're all shapes and sizes yeah I got a long tors so mine might be yeah well does that make it longer

lower or higher what were you gonna say? I don't know you're gonna see something about the tors you see something by my horse no no this is very interesting I have short little legs and a long tors I think Brad does too

yeah they call it Shetland ponies of podcast they do pony pod pink Tony Puck. Anyway, that's funny. That's a funny video. Yeah, knocked it out, you know, 45 seconds. Happily news.

Really? Really? I'm predicting. I don't know, guys. I don't know. It's a projection. I saw the one where you're stumbling into the kitchen. Oh, thanks.

Yeah, that was one where it's like, oh, it's Thursday night. We don't have a video yet. Actually, props to Rachel. You guys already know this, but I'll tell the audience. Rachel got a little bit of a car accident. She's totally fine. Her car got rear-ended. It was too bad.

this guy just like definitely was on his phone we're pretty sure hits rachel she gets out well first his airbags go off oh wow yeah both all airbags go off his car is like pretty smushed at the front and he's not getting out and rachel is out and she's like oh how hurt is this guy do i need to like she's like on the phone 911 and they're like is he getting out of the vehicle she's like no she's like afraid they were going to like ask her to like go bust him out of there you go smash the window in and pull him out At ease. Yeah.

Thankfully he got out and he was totally fine. I think he was just made a little cool. But all of his airbags went off? Wow. Yeah. And credit to Rachel slash her car. I mean, she had like a little like seatbelt scratch.

Yeah. Pretty pretty nice little car. Toyota? Yeah. Did any of her airbags go off? No. Okay. Good.

And so it's Johnson Drive. Pretty decent. At least busy city street. Well, we know. Hey. Yeah. does he pretty decently see it's hard

it's hard bud pony pod we're in Johnson County torsos these tall tors and I don't know if she told you this is part of the story but a guy like

in his car like starts yelling at her like you gotta get these cars off we got places to go I'm in a car accident his airbags are off yeah totaled his car go in reverse he's paralyzed

he can't get out of the car Geez, yeah. Yeah, she was like kind of fired up about it. I would be too. Like a guy's yelling at her to get out of the road. I don't think that's what we're supposed to do right now. You just mentioned last night about how like people on our street have been honking a lot. Oh my gosh.

Yes. I don't know if you noticed this morning when you said that. I told you. Yeah. Okay. So like people have been honking like, yeah, I've heard it a couple of times recently. I feel like in the past week or so to the point where somebody honks, you know, you look of like, oh, am I in the wrong? You know, whatever.

What's going on? Even though I'm not in a car. I'm in my front yard, but whatever. And so I still, like, have been looking. Okay, one person honked at the car in front of them because they slowed down for a school bus. Oh, really? Yes.

That's like the bottom five of things you're allowed to honk. Right? Because they weren't turning fast enough because a school bus was here and they were ready to turn. And it's not like their car would be blocking the school bus where you can't see what they're stopped because of it. Even if it's like a duly truck. Like the school bus is talking on up there.

I know. What's this yellow car stopped for? Yeah. I was shocked I really was I was like whoa and then the other one It's a school bus

I know we haven't seen him in a few months but come on yeah and then the other one What was the other one Did I tell you the other one? No I don't know Maybe you said like somebody

Yeah the other one Was somebody was going down Our street And then on Monrovia They were pulling out in front of them And yeah They pulled out And this car was coming

Okay like You know what I get that But I'm also like And so this car that it pulled out in front of, honked, like, laid on its horn. I was like, guys, the speed limit here's 35 miles per hour. How much quicker would you have gotten there if they didn't plod in front of you? Yeah, I'm like, you were fine.

You did not slam on your brakes. What are we honking at here? It was weird. I don't have like road rage very often towards other people, but when other people bring it to me, I get feisty. Me too. I would have honked back. I don't, oh, no, I don't think I ever honked back.

I just, I do the very calm, like, I'm going to make him mad, like, even more Kindness. Kill them with calmness. No, not even that. No, not. I, I, I stoop pretty low. Like, like, if I, if I pull out and they're frustrated that I pull out too close, I'll just go, let's say it's 35, I'll go 28 for a while. And just, and I'll look at him in my rearview mirror. I'll just look at. I love that. Yeah, do me to confess them as you? This is kind of bad. So one time I was on, I was exiting. I love you commented AI. I'm still thinking about that. A commented AI. That you wanted the program. Yeah, I just that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, I've never heard you say anything like that. I commented AI on the Instagram post. Sorry. You admit something then? Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes. Sorry.

We've only been married 11 years, so she doesn't understand it. Anyway, I had exited 435, which is like onto Johnson Drive. So it's like that loop exit. And then I was turning left onto Johnson Drive. Okay, Johnson Drive at that point is what? Four lanes. Yeah, two each direction. And so it's like pretty busy.

There's a hill over here, you know, whatever. So you really have to, you know, watch what you're doing. before you turn left. Okay, this car behind me, exited after me, honked at me because I wasn't going. I was like, I'm so sorry. I have children in my car that I would like to keep alive. I turned left on John's the Drive.

Yeah. It's a big city. And so then, so she honks at me. So I look at my rear view mirror because I was like, you know, what's happening? Why are you honking? Oh, they must be in an ambulance with your sirens. So I look at my rearview mirror and she is like, come on.

Like hands raised. Yep. I take that turn so slow. So I turned so slow. Yes. I turned so slow. And I turned into the left lane. And so she, of course, came, like, flying into the right lane.

So I just quickly before she could, like, fully get, you know, like mid-turn, scooting on over into that right lane. Sure did. It sure did. May her go all the way around me and get up to 50 miles an hour. I was like, man, what is your problem? I have not been sitting here. Yeah. I'm having 10 seconds, maybe?

Like, I was not sitting there long at all. Oh, that fires me up, though. And I could be saving you from a deadly accident You don't know what the Lord's protecting you from Yeah He put me in front of you for a reason You know I think that whenever I drive the van

I think that people are more aggressive towards me I think there's something about like This slow guy I think that's why I feel like I need to fight back Yeah I know Yeah so That's funny Anyway

So yeah she gets in this accident You know so it just brings on just like It's not super annoying stuff But you got to do with their insurance Your insurance you know It's our first time filing any kind of auto claims We're figured it out. We're triplets.

We will figure it out. Progressive's got a nice little thing. It's like, hey, we can give you an estimate just like pretty much over the phone. Like get in this program, take pictures of your car. Now take a 45 second video. Oh, don't mind if I do. I flip the camera. Seriously, I go, what's up, progressive?

You did? I really did. What's up, Flo? It's me, Jake. Normally I'd be a state bar, but it's your insurance. It hit us. What's up, progressive? Welcome back to RAV4 reviews.

And then I was like, this was a little beat up at the back. And then like, yeah, I really did. I was like, I don't know. They probably just see the same old videos over again. So I had a little fun with that. Isn't that funny? Like, we can post videos anytime we want so instantaneously. But like, I think the millennial in me at least makes it.

It's like kind of amazing that we can send videos to our insurance agent. That's insane that they have this. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like there's something like, whoa, you can. you can do videos via virtual that's crazy they don't have to come ride your horse to come over and look at it it'd be like a minute two minutes long and it's still like okay like their system can take it it's like we can post a 30 minute you we can post this podcast on youtube in 15 minutes yeah of course

no problem but to send it to my insurance agent that's insane do you relate to that is that no that's what i'm saying i thought that was pretty cool that they allowed us to do that i agree all right that's pretty sweet i love that you did that and did it so ridiculously yeah kind of came out of nowhere was it planning on it anyway so all that's going down and then i told rachel earlier like can we film a video and then i was like well i'm not going to make her film a video and credit her she was one who pushed me she's like no you don't have a video tomorrow right i was like yeah but i'll figure something out and she's like no we're still filming us you got a car wreck tonight and so we didn't she was great that's awesome you crack the egg on the paddle yeah

did a bunch of other stuff so that's so funny yeah it's great hooie i was tired earlier this morning not tired anymore let me tell you why wait can you pause we can cut this out. I was laughing so hard because during your other one where you were talking about all the pork and like, yeah, it's going to be a house full of pork and whatever. I was thinking of the line of, yeah, it's just going to be an hour long shower with guys. But I couldn't figure out how to make it pork related. I couldn't say it. That's why I was laughing so hard. Okay. Because I was trying to channel that to you. Is that the same scene where he says a guy's afternoon in? Yes. A gay. A gay. A gay. Yeah. It's not really.

Not like that. It's just a shower. I don't like shower with guys. I don't like shower with guys. Keep all this in. We're talking about Mason Roosters now. And we love the office, but I would, I would erase the office from my memory if it was, hey, either watch the office or drink Main Street Roaster's coffee. That's how much I love the caffeine.

I'm going to tell you guys something that's true. Okay. Time went off to Ohio. Yeah. Sugar Creek, Amish Land. He said, what should I do while I'm gone? And on the podcast, I said, watch the office. but privately I took him

took him aside I said Oh you you called him in He's gonna be around horses a lot And so I was like Come here here boy And I said I don't care about the office No

Just some relationship questions. Yeah. Newluid game. Hopefully sprang on some conversation. What's a, what's it like a marriage hack that you guys do? And I guess it, works for you, but other people would probably judge it. Oh, fun. Oh. Or maybe just like, it works for you, but probably won't work for everyone. Okay. Hmm. I don't know. Do you have any

initial thoughts with that? I don't know if this is a marriage hack. What are you thinking? Well, sorry, I'm thinking of like, I don't ever mind when Brad has an evening activity. So, like, if he's like, hey, the boys are going to play pickleball tomorrow night. Like, is it okay if I, go what nine times out of ten i'm like yeah love nine out of a hundred baby thank you yeah i'm like yeah love that do it yeah and not because i don't like him i like brad but i that means i get a night i get an evening i put the kids to bed and i'm like ooh i can this is my own time i can do whatever i and not feel bad of like oh i'm ignoring brad i haven't talked to brad today you know whatever that's not a hack but i feel like that i have learned kind of recently that that is

less common than I realized. I kind of thought a lot of wives did that, I guess. But I don't think they do. I feel like I've heard the opposite. That it's like a lot more of like, ooh, like let me ask my wife. I don't know.

I haven't seen her in a couple days. I got to put in some deposits. Yeah. Oh, dude. Yeah. Yeah. And I, which I mean, you have a very flexible job.

So I mean, you're around a little bit more than regular like nine to five. So maybe that's why. But yeah, I never have a problem with that. I was going to say the same thing about like, just the idea of like it is easier for us to say yeah do your thing with your friends of course

yeah because a we don't do it every single night of the you know week we don't have those that many opportunities and b we see each other every day for plenty of time before that oh yeah she's like that's our mere tack less time together morning you wake up she's there she's there dude she's there snoring no I think it's good though I do think like fight for friendships is really important, especially the older, the more, the more busy we get and everything. Yeah. I don't know about, yeah, life hacks with that, but like, I don't know. I feel like we ask a lot of each other and we don't ever complain about it.

Or maybe we never, I'm not saying ever, but like, it's never like this, yeah, that like deposits thing. I don't think, I don't feel that way towards you. Yeah, vice versa. Like, probably because I think over time you just trust each other more with that stuff. It's just like, oh, like, we know that we have each other's backs. We know that if I say, like, hey, I do need you to help me out with this. Or I don't know if you should go tonight because I'm whatever. Okay, totally, cool.

Yeah. I don't know. Like, so it's never like, I don't know. I just, I never feel like bad about, oh, yeah, I don't know. I'm not really formulating. As your friend of years, I feel like it's never been hard to get you out of the house. Like, hey, we're doing this. Brad, you want to come?

Right. I was Catherine, but yeah, I should be there. Yeah. Sometimes I say yes before I even talk to Catherine. I mean, there is the infamous time, though, when it was the day we came home from the hospital with Bo. Like literally the day. Like we got home at like, what, 5 p.m. or something like that, 6 p.m.

And you came up to me. Like after we had gotten home, said hi to my mom or whatever, you were like, hey, like, so people were playing pickleball. That was a, that was. And I did say, I was like, I think I'd like you to be home to. night. And that was the one out of 100. That was the one out of a hundred that I said no to.

And even that, like, I think you were like, even that I felt bad about. Well, who's going to be there? Yeah. Jake Analyze? Oh, I know you would really be sad. Yeah, my mom's here. I'm sure we can make it work, but I really rather you not.

That is a great testament, though. Because I'm not like some ignorant, like, inconsiderate husband. But that's what I'm also down to ask. Also, like, hey, yeah. I don't know. You are, you are very supportive with that. So that's a good word. I don't know what made me think of this.

This is a question for Catherine. How would you feel if Brad started playing video games? Oh, fun. Okay. You want me to be... I'm curious. I would not like it. That's how Rachel is too.

Okay. I don't really know how I'm... I wouldn't like it. For what reason? Or why you say that? Um... I don't know. I know people have strong opinions on video games.

I think if... If you wanted an activity or a hobby to, like, decompress or, you know, spend time by yourself or, like, you know, de-stress, whatever, I would rather you have a different one than sitting on the couch staring at a screen. That's well-worded. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, that's my opinion. I think I would, I would not resent you more, but I think I'd be annoyed with you. I think I'd be annoyed with you more.

Like, like, choosing to spend your time that way. Yeah. Like if you're choosing to spend your time to de-stress or whatever by like, I don't know. Reading. Reading. Building a table. Which is not whatever. But, you know, like anything.

Making me money. Honestly, even like sitting on Instagram and laughing at memes for 20 minutes. Oh, I got. I laughed hard to myself. Oh my gosh. For so long last night. I was doing dishes and he was in bed. The algorithm hit me, dude.

And I could hear him for so long. You're laughing a lot by yourself. And I, like, by himself. And that's rare. thinking it would stop i kept thinking like oh that one got him you know like he's done and then just like on and on i was like what in the world is he watching what was a theme of some of these uh it it was mainly like fail video like just funny people falling people falling gets me dude like brad loves him oh man and like they're not usually on my algorithm but i think i i've started like trying to send

katherine uh dms like more like memes of stuff and whatever and yeah so i think they now are learning a little more about what i actually like yeah yeah it's And so, yeah, they're feeding me a lot of, like, funny marriage and parenting humor and then, like, all these fail videos, man. And once you, like, break the seal of laughter, it's like, then you start laughing harder and harder. I mean, a lot of times it's like not the fact that they fell. It's the way they fell and then like the reaction to it. Like, like, what was that one that there was this dad who fell? Like, he was trying to hold on to this banister outside of their porch.

And then that banister wasn't really attached. so he like fell out the banster and fell down the stair and then like hit this stroller, hit this car and like slammed his head on the car and then I forget his name but the the wife was like Walter. Oh yeah. Oh my gosh, Walter. What he said? Oh my gosh. Walter.

I just got me. It's like the video for us Frank breaking his back. Like that was hilarious. Oh my gosh. No. Oh, that makes me hurt. Oh, I wasn't hilarious. No. No. I can't believe we even brought that up. He's fine now. It's all good. I covered my screen when he would

show that. Oh, really? Oh, please. I did. I watched it the first time. It was like, surely, you know, whatever, it's not that bad. Oh, it makes my back hurt. No, there's, there's ones that were like their, their knees been the wrong way and stuff. That's not funny. Not as funny. That's more just like, oh, oh. Yeah. I don't get it. I don't get excited about those, but. But it's a good slip on the ice. Yeah. Yeah. Like a good slip on the ice in a row, like three people in the same spot. You know that video where the dad's filming the pickup line. One of my favorites. All time. So good. All time video. Anyway, what were you going to say about video games?

What, Rachel? Oh, randomly, Rachel, just out of nowhere will just thank me for not playing video games. I, like, it's some temptation I have to like to do it. I think I've done the same thing. It's so funny. Like, it'll maybe take time, but video games have such a bad stigma. I think especially with women. There's like, I'm not attracted to a man who does this to some people.

Obviously, not everyone. Yes. Because I, is it, does it feel kiddie? Like, immature? Nerdy? It's truly, is it nerdy? Yeah. It feels, it feels lazy to me.

Okay. Like, oh, you're just like vegging out. Couch potato. Yeah. But can I like push back? Like, if I watch TV, that's the same. Yeah, I know. I know, because I try to usually defend video games.

I don't even play. Like, if I'm on my computer or my phone or something. Yeah, because it's like, no, if you're playing like with your friends, like, you could truly like make memories. You can laugh. Like, you can have a ton of fun. Because T.J's a huge. TJ loves games. And like.

And, like. during COVID during quarantine I had so much fun doing it yeah but man it's just like I'm embarrassed to even like say that I did what is it about the stigma of video games like I don't want to be known as this really yeah and like it does feel lazy it does feel like I wasted my time right there's like if we just put a movie on it's like oh no we were watching a movie together yeah like it's like we didn't even make any memories really watching that movie compared to like yeah yeah yeah you remember that time when we tried to do this or in capture the flag and this happened and then you drop it was so fun like right but for what a reason it's just a weird stigma yeah

Maybe because, well, I was going to say because video games... Ninja? Yeah, because of ninja. Blue hair. Yeah, no, I think because there's no definitive, like, end to video games. Like, you can just keep playing. The movie's over. The movie's over.

But then again, you can binge a TV show. Yeah. One more game with pickleball. Right. One more table to build. One more money to make. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, what's, one thing that you guys do now is a couple that,

you probably 10 years ago were swore like, oh, we'll never do that. Besides homeschooling. Home schooling. Oh. What do we, I mean, we don't do anything. What are you just hang out? I know.

What do we do? I know. I don't know. What do we do? I don't know. That's a good question. It's a good question. What's one thing we do that we never thought we would do?

I mean, I just in general, I'm like, I had thought of like woodworking but obviously that's not like a couple thing yeah it's just crazy if I've always told my high school self like hey you're a woodworker FYI

what what does that mean I don't know how to do any of that I'm scared of all those things I don't know what we do what do we do I don't know we eat weird things I don't think I would have well kind of some people would think we eat weird things

yeah some people I think maybe I should say you convinced me to eat a lot of things I didn't ever think I was going to be convinced I was like no I'm not going to be that guy and then yeah I'm trying to think of what it would be kombucha or raw milk raw milk or string cheese

I'm just kidding yeah vegetables yeah it's all right we move on yeah sorry what's your longest running household debate like the dishwasher the laundry or the video game I mean, the socks thing we've talked about in the podcast before, Catherine gets fired up when I put my socks inside out. Which is funny because you get fired up when I take my socks off. Oh, that's way more frustrating. Rachel likes taking her socks off.

Yeah. Chucking them. Oh, that's right. She chucks them. Yeah, Catherine just looks like she's in the rapture. It's just like, oh, there's Catherine's socks. I know. She goes outside, she takes off her socks.

She puts them on the chair sometimes. Well, you don't want to get them dirty. I wouldn't want my socks to be on the ground. heaven forbid yeah yeah I still do that I leave my socks everywhere I don't mean to

Haddy's really bad that too is she well her shoes are just in the middle Yeah he's not very good at picking up What about debate I don't know I don't know I don't

We're pretty good I mean we're fine I mean there's little things I'm trying to remember now What you get frustrated with me I sometimes am shocked that Brad still doesn't know how to really change a diaper.

What? Well, just because, I mean, we're four kids in and I'm still like, really. I feel like Brad would know. I mean,

well, this is new information to me. I would have said I was an A, a solid egg. What do you do when you're done? Sniff it, throw it out. What do you mean?

How do you, well. Oh, she gets fired up about this. I do. I do. I do. I do get fired up about that.

Take your socks off. When it's, when it's, when it's, when it's, when it's, It's just wet, aka like, no poop. Got it.

Right? Okay. I know. I used to always think like dirty diaper meant anything. Yeah. It's like dirty diaper. Just wet. Just humid.

I don't always like wrap it up. I just put in the trash can. And he just puts like an open, wet diaper in the trash can. So it's maybe not that Brad doesn't know how. Just a lack of interest and. I don't think I've met any other person that does that with a diaper. Chill out. Dry or wet.

Dry or wet. Like, I don't understand why anyone would throw a diaper away like that. Dad's need to come to my... Why would you not just wrap... Why? Why? A little bow around it. Yeah.

Less stinky. This is kind of like you spelling. You get 95% of the way there and then the fetichini, you know, the eye of it. It's hard to be a closer, you know? Literally. I, yeah, literally. Yeah. Catherine did text me the other night.

Very kindly. And I worked hard to make that kind. But I could tell she was mad about it. There's pee everywhere. It was, and whatever, this is, never mind. We don't need to get into the details of it, but... Basically, I threw away a dirty diaper. That means it has poop in it.

Got it. In our little trash can that we have for Henry, but we had forgotten to put another, like, liner of a trash bag in there. And so the dirty diaper was just straight, you know, just... Dirt. Just right in that. Bad, bad, bad. And we got some...

Bad, bad, bad. You could tell on the trash can. Yes. Say, hey, can you please not do that anymore? Because I had to clean this trash can out. couple days ago because of the same thing so yeah okay anyway that's bad wow twice and short amount of time yep short amount time yeah that's that's a I guess a debate I don't know if you know if it's debate it's just me being like I don't know yeah like maybe when I

throw it in there the adhesive will kind of self wrap it so it'll get lost I just think we take out we take out that trash can a decent amount do you yeah yeah oh okay yeah let's start that argument Okay, great. Because you like to take it out, but you just put it on the step of the garage, and I take it to the dumpster. So we both kind of do our part. Do we? Okay, I feel like a long-running debate is breaking down boxes. I don't do it.

I was going to say, what do you mean? And Brad wants me to. Yeah. And has asked me to for several years, probably, to do that. Yeah, I just say, even if you just did like 25. That would be awesome. And I always think, oh, that's so sweet. Maybe.

Yeah. You've tried recently. Every once in a while. Catherine breaks down boxes by basically just stomping on them, though. That's how I grew up doing it. Yeah. Is that how you do it? No.

Yeah. Did you ever stomp on a milk carton before you put in the trash can? No. Really? My grandparents had a can crusher. That was kind of fun. That was the closest ever got. And here's the thing.

You smashed the carton to flatten it, less space in your trash can. Okay, sure. But the fun part is you leave the lid on. Boom. See who you can hit with it. I can remember people doing that with water bottles. in public school. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You like you barely screw it on. Yeah, that's kind of fun. That's another thing Catherine's family does is they like to squeeze their aluminum cans before they throw them away for... 100%. There's eight people living in our house, you know? We went through trash. The gallon actually makes a lot of sense.

I don't know why we were so concerned with saving that little amount of space on cans. I guess it adds up. Gallon, we would get those things flat. Gallon saves you some space. And we went through a lot of gallons. I feel like we maybe I should say I've acclimated to many other things that Catherine's done and almost every time I'm like dang it I hate to admit this but you were right that's a pretty good way of doing it yeah Sunday even like we were going to church Catherine stayed home with

Henry wasn't feeling good and Catherine's like bring an umbrella I was like I don't need an umbrella and I said had he take this umbrella out here dad right had he's going to bring it then yeah and dude it wasn't rainy the whole way and then like four streets from church just downpillar yeah and I was like Catherine's right again She's always right. She's always right. I don't know what to tell you. I don't want to admit it, but I was glad to have that umbrella.

So you follow up question. Okay. Who checks the weather more? Sounds like Catherine, are you more in touch with the weather? Probably. Yeah. Why is that?

100%. I've always liked knowing the weather? Maybe I should have been meteorologist. But did y'all ever have like growing up that number you could call for the time and temperature? No. We had cha cha cha-cha. You remember that number? 242, 242.

I love chacha. I don't know what that means. It was, That was the original AI. Just like shortly before smartphones and like Google. Like before your phone could connect to the internet, you could text this number and say like, I don't know. What year was Beyonce born? And it would tell you.

It was like a person on the other end, I think, right? Yeah, I think they were because, yeah. You get paid a little bit of money to answer them. Yep. So I thought about working for them. Exactly. Yeah. I can't believe I don't remember the number right now.

I would call time and temperature all the time. Really? And I called it time and temperature. That's weird. why we did that. I don't know. Hey, what time is it? Truly, probably because we were always arguing of like, what's the exact time? Is it my watch or is it the clock on the wall or like whatever? We just call time or temperature.

You're calling some guy in like Geneva, Switzerland who's like in charge of the world clock. How do they get this number? Yeah, but it was automate or you know, it was like a whatever. So it'd be like, the time is 12.54 p.m. Oh, it's my wife. Yeah, exactly. And the temperature, which I don't know how they did that, obviously, because it would have to be local. I don't know. But yeah, they would always tell us, you know, it is 99 degrees. degrees outside.

Like, oh, see, it's not that hot. It's not even a hundred. Catherine loves talking about the feels like, the wind chill. I'm kind of into weather, too, a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Really? I feel like I was checking it a lot when I was golfing.

But even now, I have a pretty good pulse of what's going on. Right. I pay like $6.99 a year for this weather app because I enjoyed the widget on the face of my watch. Well, then you should use it. Does it work? Kind of. Like, it's decently accurate? Yeah, yeah.

That's all, that's the reason I don't. don't care that much about looking at the weather because it's like the other day it was like it's clearly going to rain I checked the weather app there's not even a thing on there about it well you learn as you as you grow up you don't trust the hourly you don't trust the daily forecast you got to look at the dar you go my radar like let me be the meteorologist let me tell you what's yeah yeah I agree yeah it's good things to know you know are we going into a heat wave are we having rain for a few days do I need to water my plants I let nature do it yeah free water I say yeah yeah more weather girl

Last question. Maybe. Okay. What's your most memorable vacation? Ooh. Ever? Together. Together.

That's fun. Yeah. I don't know. Hawaii was pretty awesome. Yeah. First time we went there was awesome. I mean, they both were awesome. Or Branson with the wagon.

I love that. Oh, yeah. You slept in it. That was so fun. And at the time, I don't know if I thought it was like, this is amazing. But like, looking back, it was like. Yeah. I'm glad we did that.

Chicago. Do you remember we went to Chicago? That's what I first thought of. Really? That was fine. I hated it. No, no. It was good.

No, I wouldn't say it was like the number one trip we've ever been on. But it was fun. Maybe because I had never been to Chicago. I didn't really know anything about Chicago. Oh, yeah, that's right. You were like kind of unfamiliar with it. Yeah, we did that boat ride when they did all the architecture. That's kind of neat.

It was really cool. I've got to do that than look at the beam. Yeah. Yeah. Which we did. But you still got to do it. But the boat thing was way cooler. Yeah.

it was really fun yeah see you haven't done that i feel like i guess i think of chicago is like the new york city of the midwest and so like everyone has been to chicago yeah and so that was surprised it was probably like because you're not yeah totally but oh yeah i'm pretty familiar with chicago i know we should go back maybe it's kind of dange i know we won't take the kids a dange uh what do you think i saw a video a reel the other day on my algorithm uh what do you think the four major cities in the United States are. What does that mean? Yeah.

You tell me. All right, we got this. Yeah, New York City. There's no right answer. What? Oh,

I hate it. Sorry, sorry, sorry. That's dumb. We're out. Okay. No, thank you. Like,

not necessarily the most four, most populated or whatever, but just like the American, like what four cities would you say are like the four big cities of America? This is like a video where people in the comments are all kind of debating. I think so. Okay,

I mean, New York. New York is one. For sure. Yeah. L.A. I mean, like Hollywood. Yeah. It's two.

After that, that's where, a little bit of a drop off. Yeah. Because you got. That was funny. Jay. Be a comedian. Lean over to like see.

I don't know. Chicago. I guess we were talking about Chicago. Maybe. Chicago feels like it's in the running. Yeah. Is San Francisco in the running? right right Dallas Austin Houston where do you put those I know because

population is way up there has more than all of them no do you know that really I'm 80% sure that's true Houston's I think San Antonio is like the seventh most populated it's he I tell me how much population is San Antonio wait wait no half her do it okay okay use chat GPT right now to figure out that answer okay okay you could do it can I yes it's just on y'all is that an okay camera to look it's great yeah Yeah, I just, sorry. I personally think Chicago has got to be third. Like, I think those three are the definite, like, those three are like America.

And then after that, I don't know what the fourth one is. Like truly, I think you could argue, like, a bunch of different cities for that. What am I asking chat? Just like population of San Antonio? That's pretty cool how you call it chat. That was good. Was that good? Or should I say like top 10 U.S. cities by population.

Okay. Great. I fed it in one moment. You guys are right. Houston's a lot of... Houston's huge. I know. It's like the third most or...

Don't tell me. Actually, I'm about to get the... Top ten. Does Houston feel like... Oh, Houston. Like, Houston, I don't know if I think of like a huge personality when I think of Houston. No. When I think of Houston, I think of Dallas, but with a little bit of palm trees.

And like, way hotter. And like a little bit more Hispanic. And way worse. I'll just say it. Really? That I don't know about. Shots fired. First video games now Houston. Houston.

Worst. If you play video games in Houston. Listen, Houston is the worst. Some of the dearest people in my life are from Houston. So I feel like it's okay that I say that. Yes, it's okay for me to say that. I don't think Dallas has that much of a personality either. If we're getting like, I think Dallas is like, oh, big city, big Texas Dallas corporation guy.

What are the big four? Are we missing one? I mean, according to population, do you want population? Yeah. According to population is New York. Wow. New York's huge, y'all. New York is 8.4 million.

Really? But listen to this. Okay, didn't expect that at the top. 8.4. But now get. What do they call it? They call it like the small city. In relation to New York City, just guess the population of L.A., which is the next

largest. What was New York? 8.4. Oh. I mean, we got the way she's doing it. Oh, I don't know. 200,000. Yeah, yeah.

No. 5 million. 3.8. Wow. Like, New York is huge. That's, but that's, that's, how. I know. But there's all the cities around L.A.

They're considered L.A. You know what I mean? It's crazy. And then Chicago and then Houston. Wow. And then Phoenix. Who knew if Phoenix was up there? Wow.

Poppin. I know. San Antonio's seventh on the list? Sure is. Wow. After Philadelphia. Philadelphia might be up there for me as far as like that could be like Liberty Bell.

I was thinking Washington, D.C., but you think Philadelphia more. Oh. Now that's, that's decent. That might be the fourth one. We were forgetting one. I saw somebody, a lot of people saying my Miami? No. That's Cuba. That's not America. Yes, that's not America. I've never been. So I don't have much strong feelings about it. But yeah, I was supposed to go and then bow at his appendix out. Oh.

Yeah. Bummer. I know. It was going to bummer. That's okay. Lo Siento. I was speaking Spanish to Rachel the other day, just goofing. Just I don't know why. And I told her, you know, I know 22 words in Spanish. There's not all I can say. Yeah. But I think I said, TNAs. Miss me Corazon. Very nice. Sure. It took me about to generate that. And she's like, what's Corazon?

I was like, I'm pretty sure it's heart. I said, do you ever take Spanish? Corzzo, it's like meat, like sandwiches that you eat. I said, did you ever take Spanish? Should I do the button? I don't know where that button is. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

It's okay. It's okay. She said, yeah, she did. I took four years. I don't remember a lick. No. She said, I don't remember a lick of Spanish. Four years?

that you don't know Corazon? She doesn't know a lot. Anyone who uses the phrase, I don't remember a lick, probably does, like, can't learn Spanish. Like, that's like a, that's a country saying. I don't remember the years. I mean, I guess high school, four years of high school Spanish and like, doesn't, that's shocking. Didn't know Corazon. You know, my dad grew up in a small town in West Texas, very, very high Hispanic population. Grew up there, okay? Then he went to Texas Tech, which is also in West Texas. You know, a lot of Hispanics out there. To this day,

as a grown man, he pronounces the word hola. And it gets us, we're like, what in the world? How do you not know that that is not how you pronounce that word? It is Ola. Yeah. And he says, hola. He says holo, he says, holo, he says, jalapinos. Probably.

Or halapinos. He says jalapinos. Alapinas. Yeah. Hola. It gets me every time. Like, dad. Yeah.

You should know better. You know, he doesn't understand a lick. Yeah, not a lick. Not a lick. True. That's funny. New York City Metro is 20 million. That's so many people in there.

That's a lot of people. Not bad guys. I think Philadelphia might be my number four personally. Really? San Francisco, maybe. I think I'm going to go D.C. D.C. is good, too. Yeah.

Because D.C.'s got the landmarks and the president. Yeah. The White House. Any president's name Mark? Marcus. Mark and Luther King. Cuban. Cuban.

He's going to be. Mark Cuban. Yeah. Nope. No president's name, Mark. Seems like there should be. It's a common name. Plenty of Johns.

What if it said? I know there's a Barack. There's a, what a, any president's name Barack? There's one Barack. I can't think of a second one. See the first Barack present? I can't remember.

That's pretty good. Barak. Yeah, who would have ever thought we'd have a present name Barak? I think, I think, Catherine, you should talk about signature pest control because you hate flies. You hate pests.

Rachel's that way too You hate them Yeah And you know what Here's what I'll say She treats them poorly Should I do one Here's what I'll say

To Rachel Is they are out of control Right now She's not crazy They are out of control I don't know what it is We were at the pool earlier today

And eating lunch As one does At the pool Often I mean Six flies Just swarming us Yeah

I mean they were It was insane Yes the flies Are out of control This year What pool was that Just curious Do you remember

like do you know the people run the pool like do they use signature pest pro or are they using somebody else um it was at the pool in utah was it really it was a utah pool but i bet they weren't using signature pest pro but they could use signature pest pro yes it's a salt lake it was actually a lake i was at the salt lake oh yeah i just call it a pool i didn't want to confuse people but because it's a salt lake is where we were you nailed this you that was perfect i'd read that was perfect no signature pest control it's signature pest pro.com they do service all of the salt lake valley SLV and yeah if you haven't had pest control you don't know where you're missing out of because it is so bothersome to have flies in your house to have fill in the blank to have wasps

i truly think or i truly like wish they would service like signature pest control would service kansas city yeah i i'm about to send mine an email and say for someone who's paying for a quarterly service I'm seeing a lot of spiders. Right? It doesn't look like I live in a house that's paying for pest control. But you know what? Signature Pest Pro would kill it. That's what I'm saying.

They would kill it. They would kill them. Yes. They would kill me with kindness. And they would do it humanely probably so you wouldn't even have to know about it. I don't even care. Yeah. Burn them.

Any means possible. Signature PestPro.com. They're a Christian family owned and operated. They've been around for 20 years. They have over 30 years of experience total. they treat Salt Lake Valley surrounding areas and if you mention the ghost runners to them Signature PestPro.com

you can either get 50% off your initial service for service plans which is awesome or 25% off a one-time treatment so that is nice actually truly just give them a chance once they'll give you 25% off and then after that they will you'll be hooked

just like the the bees are hooked yeah hook line and see ya see ya Yeah, say goodbye to the spiders in your house. Truly, like, wish them well because they're about to be so dead. Correct.

So hit up our man, Christopher, cintra pest pro.com. They're wonderful. They're ghosties. They're huge supporters of us, so we want to support them in return. So if you aren't in Utah, but you know somebody in Utah, you follow somebody in Utah. Catherine, you follow some. So many. Some homesteaders out there.

Do you remember that? God knew. 2007. Just stuff. No. Yeah. When would have been? He got elected in 08.

Yeah. Yeah. Just stuff swirling about. Just he's, he wasn't born here. There's six letters in his name. His middle name is Saddam. Oh, really? I think, I think it's true.

Her Hussein. Still. Maybe worse. His mom's maiden name was bin Laden. Yeah. They were throwing everything at him. Really? They were like, yeah, he's Muslim.

And then people were still going to vote for him. Like, well, we didn't tell you everything. There's six letters in each of his names. Oh, wow. Like, well, we still like him. Well, we can't find his birth certificate. That was weird, though. See, I was too young.

I don't even really remember. I know. And I don't really remember either. Like, did they find it? Because don't they say he's from Hawaii? Yeah. So he's, so surely they found it. And then after he's president, they're like, well, we didn't tell everything.

He married a guy. Oh, yeah. That conspiracy theory gets me. Also, have you heard the one? This is so weird. Have you heard the one about, sorry, it's on you, Jake. There we go. About Joe Biden's earlobes.

Oh, yeah. That one is so bizarre to me. But I think like. Who is staring at his earlobes? Yeah, who notice this? yeah yeah i think that's like a like a common like type of like plastic surgery though oh because at first i'm like that is two different people yeah yeah i mean it's a complete different earlobes but i think it's like you get like your skin pulled back in it

oh that's what they want you think that's what they got me they got you they got me good yeah i hadn't even heard that hook line and sphincter that makes that's where they put the skin that's what it is it's a hook and a line in the sphincter hook line and sphincter's got to be a good punchliner it's got to be a name for something that feels good yeah that is good cold auspy clinic that can be a good cover band yeah we've been hook line sphincter thank you guys yeah that'd be good gross really you don't have to come to the show you wouldn't don't think I would we'd only do covers from Alanis Morset Mary J. Blige Vanessa Garleton wow but we

won't do a thousand miles everyone everyone asked for it stupid I have a funny story that I haven't told you yet Catherine I hope it translates well. It was a funny story in the time. I have a little woodworking job basically just cutting out a ton of circles for my friend. And I'm not, sorry, I'm basically like outsourcing it to somebody else. Why are you laughing at this? Because I think it's such a funny thing.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm doing this job and I'm cutting out circles. I need 450 like circles cut for this doors like that I'm, whatever. And so long story. short, I know a guy in town who has, or not even a guy, this place in town that has like this massive, it's called a C&C machine, you know, can cut all these different cool things. And so I was like, I'm just going to hire them out to do most of this and I'll finish it up for them. Do my circles. Yeah. So this place is called Hammer Space. And it's kind of like the

Woodworkers Guild, but like as it's, it's like the Woodworkers Guild on paper where it's got a place where you can like go work and they have tools and all this stuff. But like demographic wise, it's like the exact opposite of the Woodworkers Guild. Like Woodworkers Guild's like old retired white dudes and they don't like Baroque. We're all white in Kansas City. So these guys are also white at Hammer Space. But it's like more like the artists in town. Like more like I forget there's some sign that's very like like I don't know, just freedom, whatever, this is that.

Like don't don't don't let them take your craft. Yeah, something like that. Your paintbrush is your mouth. Stuff like that. that i think it was something like yeah it was your paintbrushes your mouth it was just yeah don't forget that it was coming out of and the sidewalk is your uh what was it canvas canvas yeah so you just puke on the sidewalk and go wherever you go you're good um so anyway so they so you can hire out these people that work there to do something for you and so i pull into the back there's like a back

way that you can drop off wood and stuff so i pull in the back through these fences and there's probably 12 to 15 wild chickens like chickens that they were just raising on this like back area of this thing a parking lot kind of weird kind of random just one extra little thing to just throw in there's just chickens waddling around there's definitely a rooster because they're squawking squawking is that the word yeah so i parkin and i park and i whatever this is not that interesting of a story but like I go I walk in this guy's like hey can I help you I'm like I'm looking for Craig he's like oh Craig's here let me walk you down there walk down there Craig is like conducting a meeting with like six other like weirdo friends of his basically artisans

and I'm like hey man we talked on the phone and it seemed like the biggest inconvenience in the world that I was there and I was like you guys I'm sorry for interrupting like he's like no it's fine let's just go get your stuff you know like and like I probably like I was like we can you guys can keep going. He's like, you do a thing. He's like, we're pretty much done guys,

I guess. So yeah, I think it's good. And I'm like, okay. So then we like walk. I'm like, dude,

I'm sorry for interrupting. And he like didn't respond. Not a huge deal. Just one more like, this is just an uncomfortable area for me. I'm just walking through. So I load, drop off all this wood for him to cut all these 400 circles.

And while I'm doing that, uh, this guy that had initially greeted me and got me down to see Craig. I looked up and he is like climbing into the, the dumpster in the corner of this parking lot. What? Yeah. Like with these like chickens all around and just climbing in this dumpster, this guy's just

an odd looking dude. Looks like he plays bass for hookline and sphincter, honestly. And he pulls out a smoke detector that's beeping in the dumpster and just takes it and just as hard as he can, like just takes it and just chucks it onto the ground. And doesn't stop beeping. And so then he gets out and he just like goes to. town on this thing with his foot just you know whatever

just over and over again just beep beep and I'm just like where am I right now what am I doing watching this like no one else like I was like surely hook or liner here to see this and then finally like just destroyed this thing but it kind of reminded me of that

scene in Friends that's what I was thinking to a Phoebe yeah late at night or whatever she tries to kill the smoke detector but just this weird like I'm like Where am I right now? With these chickens just all around? Because it's like it's not a country area. It's like over, it's kind of in the, it's in a rougher part of town, but it's not

that far from like the plaza. Like it's like. I think I've been there. Have you? I think I picked up something one time or dropped off something. Oh yeah, maybe so. Where is it though? Exactly.

Like east of the plaza. Yeah. Yeah. Northeast. Yeah. So I can picture it. So this thing is just driving him nuts probably. And he's like, I guess I'll go dumpster diving to.

I guess. solved my problem and maybe he was one that put it in there and he kept hearing it beve or something but like it was just amazing like this guy is yeah in the dumpster like it looked pretty fun honestly when he threw that down like it looked like I mean I would love to have a go at that um but anyway and the chickens were just yeah they were reacting to this guy you know kicking this smoke detector it was just kind of a wild scene it's just one of those times I was like I wish somebody else were here it'll be nice there's a lot going on today yeah nice of someone else like I don't I don't want to pay Isaac like half of my weight

But man, it'd be fun to work with Isaac more often because man, it would be fun to show him. Remember when this happened? So you get circles cut? It's going to take a few days. Okay. So hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. So anyway, that's it. That's a fun story.

This guy just going to town on a smoke detector. How random. Yeah, truly. Huh. Should we do our reviews of the week? Yeah, I don't have one because. Hey, guys, leave us a five-store review on Apple Podcasts. People don't like us anymore.

I think everyone's migrating to Spotify. It is fun, yeah. Which is fine. Can you comment on Spotify? Oh. Holy cow. And people are. Yeah.

Which is fun. People are? Like quite a bit. Yeah. How do you do that? That's like the epitome of Catherine Ellis right there. Like it's like, how would you go about? Like she hasn't tried yet.

She hasn't checked. How can you do that? That takes a lot of effort for somebody to be like, sorry, Jake. I had it just on you there for a second. Sorry, that was a great yon. I mean, yeah, for somebody to, like, watch it on Spotify and then figure out, I'm going to comment. Let me see how to do that. Yeah, that is a lot of effort.

I still can't find it. I'm on your episode. Okay. That probably means download. That probably means add to queue. I believe in you. Add to cue. I've never queued up a podcast.

Yeah. We're like, I want so little wasted space in my life. For the second this podcast is over, we got to get to this one. It's going to try to auto play correct opinions. And I need to be ghostrunners. episode transcript no that's not it you really can't find this truly amazing should click play maybe it'll pop up yeah maybe oh sorry sorry little inception how's the video look though i mean not that great oh no not as good is mine i'm just kidding um while you find

that i will do a review via spotify comment from garen peterson he said y'all are awesome i usually listen to podcast on 1.8x speed but for you guys i slow way down and am in no rush for a good time As someone who takes Levo Thyroxin and tore my Achilles playing football at my bachelor party, I feel like we would have a good time together. Appreciate you guys. Bachelor party, that sucks. Yeah, your own. It's no fun no matter what, but like.

Especially your own. That's rough. My review is coming from Elizabeth Virgil via YouTube comment. Okay. She said, I inadvertently did the reverse talent show at Grandebu. When I discovered I have no talent for making sound effects with my mouth. My gosh, I don't know how people do that. Oh, yeah. I remember you did fine.

Yeah, it provided a laugh, which is the point of the game. Correct. So, yeah, that was fun remembering that. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Liz. I still haven't figured it out. You're kidding.

I'm not, no, not at all, truly. Like, I don't, what does this button do? Maybe chat GPT would be able to tell you. You know, chat GPT, I think it's just Wikipedia. Okay. That's what I, when I just did the population thing. See, that's the thing is it's not just Wikipedia. Oh.

It is Wikipedia, but it's also Google. It's also your calendar. It's also a licensed therapist and a licensed medical professional and a travel agent. Yes. Truly, how do you leave a comment on Spotify? Somebody tell me. I mean, you just kind of, I think I got on Spotify and in two clicks. I was there.

How? You are no more than two clicks away. You know what? Honestly, I bet mine's not updated. Yeah. Is that wrong? That's it. I mean, maybe.

You're able to see the video of us on Spotify? Yeah. Subtitles, no. What if you're looking at the video, is it not just on the bottom of the screen? It says comments. Scroll down a little bit. It did. It says chapters.

And then a little bit more? It says about the episode. A little bit more? About the podcast. Maybe not. Maybe it's not updated enough. And then read along. Now, read along is a new tab that I'm not familiar with.

I like to read along. Did Caleb talk last week about how Apple Music has karaoke mode? Yeah. All right. Sorry about that. I thought that was really cool. Speaking of karaoke mode. Yeah. You went in, so it was over the jingle? Yeah. I don't have a new one. So should I just do an old one?

Did someone write one to the cartoon song? Or did they just say they were going to? Or did we already do that one? I think they, I definitely don't think we did that one. I think somebody did that. Maybe on Facebook or something. I feel like I saw it. Yeah, I don't know where it is though. I know. Also, could be. tough to find an instrumental. Maybe it would be better without the instrumental. We could just sing it a lot, you know.

We'll just have like, oh no, there's a karaoke version. Really? Wow, 343 views. Oh, Heather Carpenter. Yeah. And it only got uploaded a year ago. So someone's been sitting on this for 16 years. And they're like, you know what?
