Shall we begin? Yeah, what kind of flavor you got there? Oh, we're recording. Tropical. Tropical dreamer. Kind of a blue blast of flavors. Pineapple, mango, apple, and lime. Oh, wow.

Does it bum me out when, this is, we're starting here. This is good stuff. Like, you have that little indent in the can. That's so hard for me to, like, get over that. Really? Just, there's something about it that, like, kind of. Camera two. Camer, too, please.

I don't know. There's just something like, man. It's a little tough puncturing the initial hole. And after that, smooth sailing. And maybe that's what is. It's like, I don't know if it's flow in the right way. Like, it's all, it's all an experience. You do.

You really like drinks. I do. I do. Yeah. Yeah, I wish I didn't care so much about things like that. Kathy, you care about stuff like that? Oh, sorry, she's chewing off. Sorry, I'm chewing.

I'm trying to be off the microphone. Anyway, I know, no, no, no. Uh-oh, ooh, I, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts And 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 Ghostroft's podcast. Everybody in the morning, you're taking around. Ghostroofs podcast.

Uh, what's up? What's up? How are you? I'm great. Um, my friend Kyle's. town again. He's staying here. I played the pickleball tournament Saturday. That was fun. I saw my friends, Isaac and Scott

today. That was fun. Yeah. Okay. About it. What about you? No, that's it. I don't have anything. I learned how to weld recently. How tough is it? Put it in a spectrum. It's harder than this. It's easier than this. So here's what, okay. Good. I will. I'll come back to that. I was going to say, so here's what I learned. As I'm going to say, I learned how to weld this week.

And so now I can confidently say I do not know how to weld. It was so much harder than I thought it was. Okay. Okay. First of all, you have to use the helmet. Not because, do you know this? Not because it's like dangerous the sparks. It's the brightness.

It's like, they compare it to like UV rays. Catherine's is. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Catherine and I, we've talked welding before. I've tried to weld. Off camera.

You've tried to weld. Hey, I was a homeschooler. So you just. I had to make a tin lantern one time for a colonial craftsman project. And so you had to weld it. And I had to do it authentically how they would do it. And they would weld it. Gracious.

What a project. It was difficult. And I would just say I did not do it, right? And so I ended up using wire and like hole punching it and like wire. And the teacher. Okay. Your mom. No.

When I presented it. She was like, is this how they would authentically make these? I was like, I was 12. I was like, no, they would. There we go. Camber four. Yeah, sorry. They would, they would weld it.

But I couldn't fix. She was like, er. Incorrect. Jeez. Sounds like a fun guy. Al. Jessica Holsey.

Oh, wow. Called out. She was tough. Dang. It was tough. It was embarrassing. I felt so bad. It was like,

I really tried. Yeah, no, I mean, it was like I was like I was in a different dimension when I was doing this. Like you put this helmet on and you can't. So dark. It's so dark. We try to play pickle ball with a mother's mask.

Oh, really? Dark. Dude, yeah, it was like, unbelievably impossible. Like. Can't hear. And I'm like trying to move it back and forth like they say like whatever. My friend Luke,

Luke Thomas was helping do it with me. Anyway, I took it off and it just is like all these bubbles everywhere. I was like, well, he's like, dude, you actually did really well. It's like, no, I did it. Yeah, he used to weld in our garage back in the day. Oh, he's a take his work home with him. Yeah.

Anyway, I still want to hear your spectrum. Where would you put it in the parameters? Right. It is, it would, I would say it's easier for me than changing a tire. Okay. Personally. Yep. Because I don't know how to do that very long.

Have you ever changed a tire? called AAA and they changed it for me I watched them I said yeah that it's that one good uh no I've never changed a tire um hard yeah easier than that hard wait no it's got to be year bowl harder wait gosh what am I doing

welding is counterclerc welding is in the middle harder is changing a tire easier than welding would be let's say uh doing a a rabbit or a dado doing a dado doing a dado in a woodworking data stack all right i have a few things to say you bet one as you were trying to figure out what's easier what's harder you said counterclockwise because your brain work because it was one of those things where it's like why am i

having a hard time with this and you were saying the other day like you have to think twice a lot of people would think twice about the counterclockwise remember that yeah i've had more thoughts about that do you think you could probably actually say this as if it's true but see if this sounds true yeah Did you know that 90% of fifth graders don't know the difference in clockwise and counterclockwise? Really? Maybe. Did you make that up? Yes, because they never see a real clock anymore.

Oh, my kids do. See? Well, I made it up. So they might actually know the difference. No, but I bet you're right. Everything's going to be digital. Yeah. They might not know that moving forward.

They might be like, why do they call it clockwise and counterclockwise? It's just, what is clockwise? Yeah. Like being on time. Are you clockwise? Yeah. Yeah. How much longer is like the traditional, you know, big hand, little hand going to be around? And, you know, the clock is the first to go. And then you got terms like clockwise, counterclockwise, those go next. And then after that, now you got the riddles.

The riddles were like what's got two arms and a face. Right. And nobody. Clock. Clock. Or two hands. Two hands, right? Yeah. Two hands. Yeah. I saw it coming. So that it was going to be clock. You did? Yeah, I did. That's great. So. So that's where we are.

So this is Wednesday Ghostrunner's podcast. So Catherine has talked about how she has some notes. You want to talk to? Have you to. Do you want to roll them first? Oh, we just got done. We just rolled it. Yeah.

Oh, oh. We understand it. It was in the headphones. It was in headphones. You got them off. Do you want to roll them? He sounds like you're like, we're like about to get in a circle and, you know, have some dobies. You like to roll them up?

Shall we roll them first, boys? we're not going to smoke it straight out of the bowl are we just just check in okay thank you but y'all are on top of it for this episode so you don't need me um so what's going on this week katherine um well here's the thing um last time i was on here which was a long time ago Brad was like Catherine people liked your Catherine kicks so what are your kicks lately and I said I don't know and so I wrote down a couple. Okay. Okay.

Let's do our Catherine Kicks jingle real quick. Who's got kicks? Catherine's got kicks. Who's got kicks? Who's got kicks? Go ahead. Oh, great. Thank you for that.

You bet. Yeah. My first kick is at Chip Chipotle. And they have a new meat right now and it's called something. I don't remember what it's called something. Chippole.

like honey chicken or something? Yes, the honey chicken. Have you gotten it? It's a yes, yeah. I love it. More flavor, more spice. It is spicy. Oh, is it more spice? My forehead perspires a bit. I must be tougher than you. Oh, Texan. She's close to Houston. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I got, we got Chipotle on Sunday and I had some leftovers and I didn't get to eat them yesterday, so I ate them today and took my first bite and quickly remembered. Oh, yeah. I got that chipole honey chicken yeah and it is good that's a good kick yeah yeah it is good normally i'll get like just regular chicken and then queso and it's like i don't need to get the queso with the honey chicken because there's a lot of flavor in there okay and i'm already yeah i'm taking my shirt off on eating

it you know i'm driving there's a lot of ones yeah i can't do that i can't do the queso too okay speaking of queso have you also tried their chipotle ranch or oh yeah something It's just like a sauce at the end of the aisle? Well, I had to ask the cashier. I said, what do we do with this Chipotle Ranch? Because I didn't know. I was like, are you supposed to put this on your bowl? And he said, chips.

It was it with chips. People with Chipotle, it's like they get paid like by, if you can do 10 words or less, we'll pay you a, yes. Adobo Ranch. It's called Adobo Ranch. Yes, adobo ranch. Thank you. Sorry.

Chips. Very good. Very good. Okay. With chips. With chips. I did it with chips. It would be good on your bowl, probably. But as a dip, it's nice. Maybe if you got a cassidia, you could dip it. That sounds awesome. You know what you guys probably... Did you just read the description or something? Spicy adobo peppers, sour cream,

and a smoky blend of bold spices. It's so good. And they're like showing a little like video of it. It looks. I'm probably on a door dash it while you're in Gulf Shore. Whoa. D-Dash. Yeah. I've recently, and this is not a new business, but recently have been I can't want to say turned on. That's not the right word. What am I trying to say? I've recently been... You've been like exposed?

Turned on, maybe. That's all I can think to say. No, no. Turned on like is a thing you can say. I've been turned on to Mo's Southwest Grill. Like you're being introduced to it. Really? Moes? Never had it.

Where is one around here? In the airport, right? I'm sorry. Not even that recently. Yeah, I don't know if I've had a year. Where did I have it? It doesn't matter. Had it elsewhere.

Maybe on the way to Iowa or something. People do like it. I think I had in Branson. most sauce good with chips oh really chips yeah yeah that stuff's good okay poncheros a lot of people making good burritos these days tell me more in kansas city no oh well there are poncheros is that one in iowa that he likes yeah oh iowa does good mexican huh yeah i mean it makes sense corn maize got kicks. Catherine's got kicks.

Who's got kicks? Oh, Calder's got kicks. All right. This one is random, but has been truly life-changing to me. So, a quick little

backstory to explain. We have drawers under our bed that we store a lot of our clothes in. Custom-made bed from Ellis Customs. Custom-made bed. Walnut.

And so they're, yeah, whatever. So in this drawer, I have little buckets, you know, of like pajamas and socks and whatever. And the other day I was going through this drawer, getting rid of some stuff. And I was, for whatever reason, I thought, I need more room in here.

I'm going to take my sock bucket out. We're going to find a new home for the socks. Okay. So I take the sock bucket out. We live in a smaller home. Our rooms are smaller, not much storage. So where am I going to put the sock bucket? Well, in our closet, my closet,

there's some built-in little shelves. I mean, like, how much is that, bread? A quarter inch. Okay. Six inch shelves, okay? Right there on the corner. And the shelves are next to the curtain rod. And I have my shoe hanger thing from college that I still use.

Yeah. Yeah, that hangs from the curtain rod. You put all your shoes in. So I thought, oh, well, here, I'll move my sock bucket to the six inch shelf. Life changing. Put the shoes and socks together. They're going to be hanging out all day anyway. It's incredible.

Every time I go to put my shoes on, I get so happy because, oh, socks are Sox are right here. I don't have to go under the bed to get my socks down. Don't have to go under the bed. No more going under the bed. That actually is really nice. It is. Maximizing the space.

It's, yes. It's like when they made McDonald's. Like there's a flow to this. You're doing it wrong. Yes. Take the sock in the shoe. Have you seen this first hand? I have seen it.

And what's crazy is like the way you're describing it's like, yeah, duh, you'd put. But I'm like, well, where are my socks? Not even close to my shoes. Really? I'm telling you. I'm close to the rest of my clothes, at least. If you have the option. And if you have the possibility with the way your room is set up, give it a try.

You're going to love it. And then my socks and my shoes are right next to my dirty clothes hamper. So then when I put my shoes away, take off my socks. Boom. Right there. Yeah, it's great. That is a good kick. Yeah.

That is a heck of a kick. It's so nice. How are you guys doing in the house as far as the space goes? It's a great question. You've got a lot of people in there. Summer is a blessing for that because the. The house, yeah, all of a sudden doubles in size because we like being outside a lot. And so we've been keeping the kids' clothes outside.

So. Yeah, that's, that's, she's joking. She's laughing. No, but I mean, yeah, we, we hang out a lot more outside. And so wintertime, it feels like we're. The walls are closing in. Correct. Yeah. But summer's great.

Yeah. Uh, we get used to. I mean, it's just whatever. Liquid takes the form of the container or whatever. So it's like, you get used to wherever you're living. But there's definitely times and you probably feel this 20 times more than I do, Catherine. but like it's just like I would like I just be by myself for a little bit right now like just find a wing like like every once in a while I think like you got to go to the furnace

in the base is there an area that's like we are not using enough of and I'm like I think we're using our house pretty well yeah yeah maybe it is like oh we should clear out some area in that storage room and we could you know put a desk in there yeah I got lunch with the guy yesterday and he's got four kids and they're in the process of moving and I was just telling him I was like, yeah, I mean, you guys, you got six people and like a pretty like, yeah, it's not like the tiniest house ever, but it's not, you know, you've, you've probably outgrown it and I was like, yeah, I think they have a good interest rate and I think that's what's keeping them there. It's 100% like we would have to move and get a new mortgage. Nah, we'll just stay. I know. And we

love our yard. I don't know, we love a lot. We do. Yeah. Yeah. Summer is a, like when it's cold outside, it does feel like, yeah, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're, we're way too tired. Just get out of here. But they even go outside in the snow, so that's nice. Yeah. That such thing is bad weather. Bad days. Very good.

Bad weather. Bad weather. Good, good, good. I'm not having a bad day right now. Who's got kicks? Gather's got kick. Who's got kicks? Oh, gosh.

Okay, this is my last one. Okay. And y'all probably already know about it. You've probably been using it for years. I don't update my phone very often. Okay. Whatever if we're not to get into that. But I update.

dated it a few months ago. What'd you find? I found the send later button. And I'm telling you, I love it. Really? Close second only to the socks, life changing. I mean, it is so, I love it. Because then at night, when I'm going to bed, I can finally go through all the text that I

haven't responded to during the day. But instead of letting them all know that I'm awake at midnight, you know, then I just send later, send later, send later, send later. So you're really using that. I use it more. Yeah. should. It really is great. And then the next day, when my text is sent to them at, you know, 9 a.m. or whatever. And then they respond promptly because they're better than I am at 9.30.

All of a sudden, I'm like, oh, look, all these people trying to talk to me. That's so nice. I've thought about it before. Like, I get nervous. I think about like, okay, it's late at night. Let me schedule this for 9 a.m. What if he's texted me something at 8 a.m.? And now this makes no sense. I didn't even respond to his question. Good point. Depends on who you're, who you're texting. Yeah. You got to know that. And send it earlier than, you know, sometimes. You make it seem like you're awake. Yeah, I was going to say, by being honest, sometimes I'm like, I'll send it at 6.45.

That's going to do like, 4.45. Like, hey, praying for you this morning, man. Hey, just doing my, my Devo, thinking about you. Thinking about you this morning. I've been at it for an hour. I'm wrapping up now. Thought about you and my workout this morning at 4.40. Yeah.

Yeah, we start doing that. Exactly. It is great. It is great. Yeah, there's no one policing. Because are you worried about, like, inconveniencing people late at night? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And so it's like send later. I did, it was like one of those times, very rarely just Catherine show me something technologically. And she did show me that. And I was like, that's pretty cool. Yeah. You've told me that with emails that you can do that. Yeah.

I'm mainly doing with text though. Yeah. Or even, I mean, I don't know if this would happen for all. I don't know, maybe. But I mean, even like reminder text or even like, you know, whatever. Then I'm like, oh, I should text in the day before that to remind them of this or to remind whatever. You know, you could, but I'm thinking of it now.

I'm probably not going to remember in two days to remind them. You go a couple days in advance. You can't. Wow. You have done that. Probably once, but you can. It's amazing. It's awesome.

Good kicks. Good kicks. Thank you. You got any kicks right now? What are my kicks? I don't know if I have any. 3-66. Which is where you lived.

Oh, yeah. I did not know that until recently. That's amazing. No, yeah. It was like the main strip of Strapper. They tell us we're on Route 66. There's no way of really knowing every small town could say they're part of Route 66. It's true.

I do feel like I see it in a lot of small towns. I'm like, this Route 66 is a bit, you know, zigzaggy. Yeah. That's funny. People just lie about it. Bruce 66. Yeah, we are. We're on it.

Sure enough. It goes right through southwest Missouri. Okay, so even if it's not super accurate, I think you're allowed to like say this runs through your town. Yeah. And also, why is it such a famous highway just because of the song? Wasn't it the only highway? that's fun if it were i don't know or the first highway see if chat gbt can give you shut up Wikipedia it no no ask like give me a five bullet point uh debate style of why

root 66 something like that like why root 66 is so good why it's so good yeah what makes it so great what makes it the best ever and our lack of knowledge about root 66 could lees into our schmores. There you go. Could. Could. Catherine's already confused. I'm going to be so bad. What do you say? Five bullet point list. It's so hard for me not to tell you all the things I'm looking at really about Rucey C6 now. Because it's it's taking you the normal amount of time to find it. It's hard. Sure. Here's a quick list. Sorry. Sure. Yeah, sure. Main Street of go ahead and read it read into the mic not that interesting you sounds like you found more interesting no no no go ahead go ahead uh it's a historic road trip destination it's dubbed the main street of america

it's a scenic got scenic landscapes the route spans across diverse landscapes from the deserts of ari to the forests of missouri where jake grew up the forest yes um cultural significance uh it was a lifeline for families migrating west during the great depression yada it's got unique attractions on it it's got iconic stops the Grand Canyon, Cadillac Ranch the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, Oklahoma

so did it start though is it the first highway or anything like that I'm not seeing anything but first highway maybe it was the longest highway longest road largest army yeah small towns quirky roadside

attractions and rich Americana it's one of the oldest and longest highways okay it's an icon symbol of American freedom, mobility, and the pursuit of the American dream. I think it was just like the one road you take if you want to move west. Like you have to get there via Route 66. Yeah, connecting the industrial Midwest to the California coast.

I wonder how they pick the number 66. Yeah. How did they get out of the dust bowl? All those things. How do they get up above the edges? Yeah! that's what we do that's what we do that's what we do when we talk about good ranchers that's what we do that's what we do we're talking about ranchers yeah dog that's howdy's still doing that

yes anytime i do it's caught on rosy rosy did it yeah dog family yeah dog rosy and rosy kind of like rosy has the funniest faces right now yeah yeah dog so good i had a good time uh with rosy sharing her favorite books with me they're all about food i don't know if that was a coincidence but all her favorite books deal with food right now tops and bottoms seven picky eaters oh seven silly eaters seven silly eaters that's a good it's great it's good yeah yeah she does it's speaking of eating i only eat good meat thank you good meters dot com good meers i was ready to so if you're not sure how uh you know how much it rained last night uh uh You know, how much electricity you're using.

Talking around. Just a couple of guys. Come on, we're just talking around. I mean, seriously. Talking around is pretty funny. I mean, come on. I don't see what the big deal is. I'm just talking around.

I'm just talking around. I still cringe. When I think back to that, I had a phone call with Janelle Banyl one time, and I said, I'm sorry, I'm kind of rammed I'm talking out loud right now. Oh, I think about it once a month.

Why did I say that? That's bad. I'm talking out loud right now. I'm talking out loud. Let's talk out loud right now. Yeah, I'll talk out loud and talking around you. Yeah, tell me more. Is, well,

let's talk around about eating meat all right let's talk around the cow that's a cow that's happy because he's treated well by his american ranch hand that's right and he is going to be slaughtered humanely yes and americanly Americanly, with a Winchester probably. Could be. Is that a gun? I think it's an American gun, right? Or is it a sled? Doesn't it kind of sound like a sled?

Catherine, you can select the order in which we make our picks. Things you don't understand. We're going to go, Jacob, Bradley, Catherine. All right.

Is that good? Mm-hmm. You like that. Okay. Sorry, over here. I'm going to go with why, how a rainbow works. Okay. Oh.

Okay. I know you can probably Googling it. It's going to say refraction. What does that mean? Yeah. Sun goes in, moisture, seven colors come out. Yeah. I know it's God's promise.

And I'm willing to believe in that. But as far as like what the scientific community can explain to me. And why is it arched? Great question. That's probably refraction too. Right. Refraction speaks less louder than words. Refraction make me confused with words.

Affirmative refraction. yeah i'd have different color yeah uh yeah so i guess i'll just start there okay love them great like looking for him you know like sun comes out oh there's some rain over here let's see if there's rainbow but how does that happen and sometimes you get it in your sink you get in your hose water yeah you know every now and then your sprinklers going you're like i get pumped when that happens cool cd how did we get there yeah and what does pink floyd have to do with it how are they involved Prism. All right.

My first one is going to be just outer space. Stop. Is that your pick? Go ahead. Is that what you're going to say? Yeah. I mean, just, I don't, I can't even kind of wrap my head around light years and how far things are away and there's different planets.

There's different things that are bigger than Earth. Bigger than sun. And how do we get there? So much bigger. How do we get there? Like, do we go out? go up or do we go you know what I mean? Like it feels like a rocket

just goes straight up or something like when do you start turning? When you take a left? And how do you know how far you are? Is there GPS out there? What's your exit? Dude that's a good question. I don't, how's the navigation work in space? That? Like what do you type in like take me

I'd like to go here? Yes. What's that? And there's rings around some of them? Why is that? Asteroid belt? Who's lookout? Yeah. dude it's it's it's so unfathomable okay here's my little part of the solar system that I was going to say and this leads into that is you how are they all no no no no how are they all there like how are they all just like hanging out like why aren't they all falling somewhere I don't know where they're going to fall why aren't we falling why aren't we falling gravity's keeping us

this distance away from the sun gravitational pool pool pool pool hey you guys it's pretty hot outside you guys want to go to the gravitational pool they got a splash pad at the gravity yeah outer space is good pick that's a good point though like why aren't we just like bouncing down orbits you know i know it's like gravity and like some you know whatever but i don't have yeah like like it's just orbiting like in place or is it like are we orbiting like far around like like do we ever like orbit in the same physical location that jupiter once was I don't know anything about that stuff Yeah because it is interesting

I don't think the sun moves Like the sun is stagnant and we rotate around it So why is it still? Also aren't there a ton of suns? And how is the sun not falling down? That's what I'm saying How is it suspended? Suspended good

Yeah And how did we get started On like the The spin Why are we third? Yeah isn't that a law of someone? It's actually I got something coming on my list.

Don't take it. Don't take it. All right. I feel like I have a pretty good pick there. That was pretty good. Yeah. This is all based on what leads to the most conversation. Okay. Well, okay.

Here's mine. And this is, oops, sorry, that's Brad. It goes along with this a little bit. I don't remember which came first, chicken or the egg. But Bo, when he got his surgery recently, the kind surgeon took some pictures of Bo's insides and showed them to me. like while they were in there, you know, doing... Like just straight up, like, he's cut open.

Here's a picture of it. Yeah. Like, they were like, here's his liver. No, I mean, inside of it. Or like an ultrasound or something. No, no, no, no, no. Like you can like see, like it... Like an iPhone photo, like a...

Like it looks like his skin, but the inside of it. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Wow. I thought you meant like just like a picture of him on the like operation. Oh, gosh. Just open.

No, it's like, no, I like that. No. So it just got me thinking of similar to the solar. system one so that's why it's not great anymore but um how are all of our organs stationary where they're supposed to be like why isn't how come our heart hasn't fallen down to our feet you know you're right if you go on the the wrong roller coaster yeah if they get a little exactly organized exactly how are they how are they that is crazy that's a good point in their spot and like you can get jostled around and your heart's just

right there yeah you can get in a car wreck football it's not like you're like oh and you never Here, oh, my heart fell down to my knees. Yeah, you got to like, can you help me get my heart back? Yeah. Can you step on my, yeah. I've heard from like doctors, anyone who like looks at people, they're like, oh, it's, you would not believe how crammed our organs are. Really?

So maybe there's not a lot of space, but you'd think something would fall down. Yeah. Come loose every now and then. Yeah. I've heard we're very crammed. Really? I've never heard that. Somebody told me that once.

I mean, they're probably right. It is a lot to get in there. Every now and then I'll hug Rachel. And I'm shocked at how far I can keep going. Every now and then I'll pretend she's like a Native American. I call her little rib. Ah, little rib. Because it is crazy.

And then I'm like, I'm like looking at her. You know, it's like this. And I'm like, how do you have two lungs and two kids? Like how are your organs inside of here? Yeah. Okay. Like our ribs versus your ribs. How big?

How big do you think an appendix is? It's probably way smaller than I think. Yeah. I think every organ. against the size of a Bible, you know? Yeah. Truly, yeah. They're each this size.

That's a big Bible you got there. Because they took Bo's appendix out through his belly button. And I was like, dang, you must have to like squish that thing. It's like an oxymus. Squished that thing. Yeah, it was been like a, I don't know. But I looked it up last night and it is one inch long. No way.

Well, no wonder you don't need it. I know. One inch. That's really. Really small. I know. I was like that, how can you even qualify that as an organ? I would have thought at least fist.

Like a dwarf organ. Like minimum fist size. Yeah. And I think it should almost, it has to be a fist to be an organ. Yes. I agree. Get out of here. It's like Pluto.

Pluto doesn't count anymore. You're a dwarf planet. The dwarf organ. Dwarf organ. Yeah. I feel like the spleen's small. The gallbladder is probably small. Yeah.

See, spleen sounds to me like it's like the size of your stomach. No. In my head. I think it's little. I believe you, it just sounds like if you get your spleen taken out, it's like you have no stomach anymore. That's what I think of. My sister got a bad case of mono back of the day. And every now and then what her heart would get, heart rate would get up high. She'd do a workout or something. She would have to lay down flat on the ground. And she's like, oh, my spleen's getting big.

And she's not a doctor. So who knows if that's true or not? I don't know what was going on. She made me feel it. Like feel it. You know my spleen? Okay. Something hard in there. That, yeah, she could probably use a doctor. Every now and then I say stuff There'll be a ghosty Who's like, oh, this happened to me Yeah, 100% out there I don't know if that's true or not

Oh man All right, Kathy, you get another one You get another pick Shoot, I get another one You can do it Okay Can I? Okay

First, I put a checkmark On the one I just did So I don't repeat it Good, good She's gonna So for the record She's gonna use an emoji Checkmark

Yeah, there it is Oh, that seems great Thank you Not a checklist that they make Oh, that makes it easy Yeah Oh, sorry, that's on you, Brad. I'm doing a bad job.

Okay, my second one is, I don't understand the cloud. And not clouds, the cloud. Big cloud. Like, is it even there? I feel like I haven't heard talk of the cloud recently. Oh, yeah, it's still there. It's still there. It's still doing this thing.

Oh, it's better than ever. But I don't get it. I don't understand. There's physical something somewhere that stores all this stuff. And I'm with, yeah, I don't understand it. It's like, yeah, these servers. Like, even the word server is kind of hard for me to wrap my head around. And who's doing these servers?

Yeah, who's got them? I think Amazon. Don't get down that round at all. I mean, I'm just saying. And like they're supposed to be around forever. Like we're supposed to be storing our, you know, family photos on the cloud and just hoping that in 60 years, that cloud is still going to be there? I'm going to ask you something.

When you were born, were there clouds in the sky? Are there clouds in the sky now? It's a different kind of cloud. It's a different kind of cloud. It's going to be there forever. That's why they called that. Yeah, that's a good question, though. Like, or is it just going to be like, yeah, we went out of business.

Yeah. Sorry. It's just hard for me to wrap my head around like physical things, like a computer or a Bitcoin mining computer, you know, or servers making something that's invisible. I can't wrap my head around that. Like, oh, yeah, these servers power the whole internet. And it's like, how do they? Yeah.

Is there some server out there that has my Google Doc, like physical file? Physically it's in here. We can go find it. Like if I ripped out the, Like, if I unplugged that server, it's only your Google Drive. We can't find, we can't find that edit you made to that song, that worship song back in 2008. It's like, oh. Or do they separate the lock from the key and like one-tenth of your Google Drive is in New Mexico.

Yeah, or maybe it's like four different letters are gone from that Google Doc. I don't know. Good pick. I don't understand a lick. Yeah, when you said it, I was like, I think I get that. Now that I'm thinking about it more. I think there's like a big thing like you got a cool, you can't get your server's too hot. These like real life machines.

Oh, cooling. Yeah. Like liquid cooling them. stuff, and then that makes me nervous. Yeah. Seems like that's a bad idea to have liquid next to all these electronics. I'll trust them, but I don't know. All right.

I don't know. I also chose that one. So Maddie Dieterley, is that who does it? Yep. Has an easy emoji. Oh, Madison McCalla. Madison McCalla. They're both M's.

Yeah. Cloud is a good one. Okay, I'll give her an easy emoji as well. I don't understand smell. Smell. Just the sense of smell. I've ever thought about it. Think about this with me.

You and I can, you and I can, smell something like I can smell this pickleball paddle nice pickable paddle oh this must be it's not like that's a nice smell and pickleball paddle smell like spin it smells like a great dwell time I can smell this

you know from three inches away there's some wolf out there that can smell the same thing from three miles away my wife yes oh yeah she gets in the driveway she's like what's in the fridge like like dogs can

smell or you know or like like these like these dogs that are trying to like sniff out the creek yeah they're going to cure cancer i always wanted to tell you about that's that we're talking about yeah yeah yeah crazy like dogs are going to cure cancer or dogs that can sniff bombs or whatever from feet away mild whatever like all this crazy stuff i don't understand how that works i sometimes i get confused about how like bad smell like goes away like a burp or a fart or something it's like yeah it'll go away eventually but where yeah where does it go it just vaporizes server anyway smell i know it's kind of vague but i just don't understand how like fish they can smell like sharks can smell blood fish are freaking underwater dude fish can't shark's can

sharks are fish i yeah fish can smell for sure they can well what they can do something with blood what is it? I thought it was they could smell your blood. You're probably right. Isn't that what you've always heard? Like, you can smell the blood? Yeah, I guess I don't know if it was like, oh yeah, don't get, don't lean the water. How do you smell you? But if you're under water, don't do that.

Yes, okay, sharks could smell blood. Okay. Anyway, they possess a powerful sense of smell. So there you go. Fascinating. Okay, good job, sharks. Things I don't understand.

how a record player works so good and you can i'm not going to choose everything but you kind of go down the path here tvd cd you know how does like how does how does yeah but a record player seems like the record player for sure though was the word rudimentary like it's like way more like this seems so simple how is it knowing how to play like a cd it's like well look at this high tech technology yeah it's shiny yeah record player it's like this metal needle on this vinyl circle music and different music for every single one of them yeah record scratch even that what makes the scratch sound just in general even i just don't know how to use a record player yeah can't say i've ever worked with one katherine i bet you 100% have yeah yeah

welded one yeah how do you know where to put it put what how to start the song where do you start it at the edge do you always have to start it at the for like song number one or a song number two like two rings in i don't know how to do that like skip skip yeah i don't know how to do that they don't have like little markers i mean they might i don't know or he's got to start at the beginning every but you yeah i always started at the beginning like the outer ring and then it goes it because you know like as it gets to the center then it's no no i actually you never seen that or like even in movies or something yeah i don't know how you do like different tracks though which would be a great question probably for our parents of how they because i know my mom has several records

that she got when she was younger, you know. Vinals. Vinals, if you will. I know they have different kinds. I don't remember the numbers. It's like 48 and 32. Like rims. Yeah, because I think 48 is the one that has like the little hole.

And then 32 is that right? It's like bigger. Huh. I don't know what that means. I don't know what it does. Yeah. Like I don't know why they're there. But yeah.

Great question. I've never thought about that because CDs and DVDs, their holes are always the same. True. Same with cassettes. All those good things. Those are all the same. So I don't know why records are different.

Film. All right. I get another one, right? I don't get why inertia is such a big deal. Tell me more. Like it was like this huge vocab word. You learn it every year. An ocean is a property of matter.

You know, yeah, an object wants to stay in motion. It's, yeah, duh. And then it's like, oh, yeah. If something weighs more than this thing, it's going to take more force to move it. Yeah, duh. Oh, yeah. Everything about inertia is just like how we interpret the world. It's so obvious.

Like, was there a point in time where people didn't understand that? Why would that not ever make sense? So this one, this rock is huge. That's a pebble. Which one do you think we should move? Yeah. I don't know. They're both to say.

It's hard to tell which one would be easier. Yeah. So that's what I understand. I'm actually okay with inertia. I don't understand why we actually actually. like this is this insane thing that's funny just obviously the one more mass

now mass is a little confusing I think that's kind of a made up word just just say wait right right yeah I know it's not the same thing come on it's the same thing to me brother yeah sounds good to me yeah got a lot of mass

it does get kind of confusing when it can't be created or destroyed so it's like yeah anyway that's good Why is inertia a big deal? All right. My next one is binary.

Zeros and ones just do everything. Binary code. You know what I mean? Like how, what? Why? How does it? How is a zero and a one and one and a zero all of a sudden translate to my computer screen when I press the letter B to spell out binary?

You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm having like a flashback. I'm pretty sure. I took one computer programming class back of the day I want to say there was a language called like Boolean or something like that Oh Boolean I heard this actually That's like a search method

Funn But I think Boo and we were just booing around It was all just zeros and ones And true and false and all this And it's just take me back to inertia Because that was easy Boolean, yeah Boolean

Yeah I don't know Like how do zeros and ones That seems like that's not enough You need some twos in there You know maybe throw me some roman numerals maybe some tally marks like all of a sudden these zeros and ones I got a video iPod and I was watching a YouTube vertigo music video in the palm of my hand like what how'd this happen I don't know yeah I mean don't they say I mean the whole internet

everything's built on zeros and ones right yeah I honestly don't believe that that's how that's how unbelievable like there's no way I'm going to Google some of this you've thought about this guy you don't even understand what I'm saying right now I don't But does barcodes go into that? Do barcodes? They've got more numbers than zeros and ones. Okay. I forget I said that.

Yes, the internet is fundamentally built on binary code. There's an article I don't want to click on it, but says, how do zeros and ones turn into the internet? I'm going to click on that later. It's one of those things that I think I'll watch and still not understand. Yeah, it'd be a waste of time. Yeah. Good pick.

Thank you. All right. Binary code. You got two more and round it out. two more jeez all right um i did not see this coming i did not okay my next one for some of the things i don't understand is i don't understand people who genuinely like very cold weather i don't understand it i i don't believe them to be honest with you i just don't understand it that they like genuinely love it now i understand you got to get through it and you know

No, snow is pretty. I can get that. Yeah. But I'm like, to genuinely prefer a Minnesota winter over a Kansas city summer. Yeah. Over an Oklahoma summer, over a Texas summer is, I don't know, it's mind blowing to me. I'm with you. Right before we started recording, I saw a ghostie was posted about this because he was like, I'm, I'm so on board with heat.

He's like, I was out in the like Arizona lately and I walked. I went on walks and it was 115 out and it's still like I would take that every day yes and again I'm like I get that you would prefer cold over warm

you know well I don't really like being super hot so I would rather I like winter more but to genuinely be like I love cold I love when it's freezing cold outside I love when it's freezing

I love bundling up I don't believe them no sure I don't I don't understand that would it be more acceptable if they loved it for a season rather than like I just I want this every day of the year

kind of thing? Eh. I mean, no. Okay. Because I love summer and I love warm weather, but I don't want it

every day of the year. I mean, I can appreciate cooler temperatures. I think I could take it every day of the year. What? Summer.

Summer, like warm weather. You? Yes. Really? I mean, you're always like, I love fall.

Winter's great. I do love season. I do, but like if I had to choose one. Yes, and that's a thing. That's a thing. I get it if you have to choose one, if you have to make a decision. Like,

you know, would you like cold or hot. get it but that's what i'm saying is like you don't have to make that big of a decision but just somebody that's like oh no i just i'm gonna go live in an igloo in alaska because i love the cold i found the post he posted this at 244 a.m so he should have you send it later should he used it um let's say uh when you're hot you can go into ac take a shower drink water cool off much easier um i went many years with no AC in my vehicles i couldn't have done that that with no heat. Yes. Yeah. When you're cold and numb, you can't function. Appendages go numb.

Your jaw is numb. You can't talk. You shiver so bad. Your back hurts. You can lose limbs from frostbite, et cetera. You can't put enough layers on to warm up. Plus, you have to walk so delicately on ice and slick surfaces. Yeah. It hurts so much worse if you fall. If you fall and it's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, yeah. And some, I think, sweet person on Facebook also posted this great list of like all the reasons why cold weather is great I just didn't think they were that greater reasons I like cold weather but not forever yeah the Hinnigar is like the cold I know

I shouldn't said that the other day and I thought oh no I know like they want to go vacation and like Seattle yeah yeah if you live in Seattle that's great put to vacation there can you know I've got rain at home I've got a shower we can see right at home all right Gad you have one more Oh, gosh. Okay. Let's see. What did I just say?

Oh, yeah. Okay. Last man, kind of boring when I think, but something I really don't understand. I don't understand genetics. Oh. I don't understand. I thought of this with my own children because if you have met my daughter, Rosie, she does not look like me. And I mean, like, not even like, oh, I can see you.

it in her nose like you got the same nose like no it's like nothing she does not look like me in the slightest and i don't get that i don't understand that like you you are my daughter i'm pretty confident in that yeah and i don't understand why my genetics did not come through at all at all and they talk about the dominant and the recessive and all that stuff yeah punnet squares yeah i feel like you got you got plenty of pun it you would think you would think you had a hundred pun it yeah yeah you have like the dark eyes the dark hair isn't that all stuff that you think is going to get passed down easier yeah i thought rosy's all light feminist he's strong will alpha female right that gets passed down yeah rose got your attitude not your look true

i love genetics i could see this being like one of my weird old man things like when i retire i don't know if i ever make a like bird house but i might get really into like genetics are you about like genetics like ancestry.com genetics or like what do you mean yeah yeah like genealogy family tree stuff that a little bit but also just like just research and being to become obsess over it i've always been like pretty intrigued by it and just like how did we get here and how or just like twins i've talked about twins playing on this podcast but like we know from your hometown these two twins that were to can i cook with it's like how do you have identical twins who like end up

It's just fascinating Yeah Yeah My older brother and sister are twins Obviously not identical And I mean Not even close to being identical Like even in personalities

Like we joke about it a lot Of just like Their differences are crazy Yeah But they're twins Or even just like little things I think I've mentioned this on the podcast too Maybe we should stop

Because I'm just running out of material But My dad is the only person I know Who sometimes likes to drive With his foot up by the steering wheel, sometimes out the window, except for one other person, which is his sister. And it's like, how did that trait get passed down?

Like, what is it about? Like, that is somewhere in the DNA code. That's in the double helix. Like, feels good to hike your left leg up while you drive. I do that. Oh, yeah. Maybe we have talking about this. I haven't done it super recently,

maybe because I have children now. I feel like I should drive safer. But I feel like in high school, I did that all the time. Really? You had your leg out the window? Yeah. I mean, not always out the window. It would go out the window sometimes.

But it's going to be fascinating if two of your kids start doing that. You're like, how does that get passed down? Of all the things. I want them to be good readers, not this. That will be fun to see like how their mannerisms are similar to ours. Yeah. But see, mannerisms don't you think are, don't you think those are learned? Yeah.

That's true. They're not necessarily genetic. I'm sure they can be parts of them. But isn't that kind of mannerism? I don't know what Jake was saying. I know. Something about it's like it makes your body feels good when that happens. I don't know.

I just can't explain it. I want to do it this. You tried it? I guess I haven't. There's nothing about me that thinks that will be better than sitting the way I am now. It sounds like you should try it. It sounds like maybe it's passed down. It's very comfortable and it's a very comfortable summertime way to drive.

It sounds very summertime. It's so uncomfortable and so dangerous. Yeah. I don't think Braddard filled for us. I got a cramp last week showing off my sock trying to do that exact same thing. You know, when I first started this whole like shred journey, I still remember this comment. Someone was like, Jake, I better not hear you. skipping leg day or you're going to have chicken legs like I think we're good on chicken legs like

just where we're at. That's not what I'm worried about. They can't get out the window. Right. You're just fine. Do you guys sit very differently? It's something that Rachel I've noticed very much. Like I sit like a normal human and, you know, my feet are on the ground. But when we'll like stop to look at it, like Rachel is never like really sitting like this. Like it's either completely horizontal because we're watching something or she's eating. She'll eat horizontal. It's strange. Doesn't she like, but she's always like in the car Like always curled up or always like

Just never normal In a normal like dining chair Sometimes criss cross applesauce. Yeah Just her Anything but normal Yeah And so we don't know what that is

But she can't sit like this It just like in the car She's always like side saddling or you know Yeah criss cross applesauce I don't if you guys do that Oh yeah totally I think it's a girl thing Yeah My leg is up right now

Yeah, that's true I feel like And your other legs on a football But I feel like you've said that to me in the past. He'll be like, how do you get your leg to go like that? I don't know. I remember like my grandma when she was like 85 years old was like able to go crisscross applesauze in her chair.

So I think it's just like they just do it forever. Yeah. And I think it has to do with being cold. That's what I think a lot. Kind of curl up to warm yourself up. Yeah. Like I don't have socks on right now. So I want to put my feet under me to keep them warm.

That's fun. Interesting. Good stuff. All right. last one we got a few here i'm gonna go i guess i'm going another another uh electronics one bitcoin don't get it what the heck that's one of those things like i don't even kind of get it it's it's somehow valuable but it's super intangible and you can generate it from computers you mine for it yeah it kind of makes me like i think of the thing that they do in severance where they like try to like find

the patterns dropping it into the buckets that's kind of what's kind of what I think of when I think of what mining for Bitcoin I might start thinking about it that way I don't get it at all and it seems like it seems like the biggest scam in the history of the world I was okay with Bitcoin on its own I feel like I was like good with that like it has whatever value we assigned to it like any stock so to speak but then once they start throwing out blockchain and these mining computers oh yeah it takes about eight hours for my computer to get one Bitcoin that's where I start you're losing me losing me and then when they say it's, well, it's unregulated.

Losing me. A hundred percent. Losing me. Yeah. That's what's so good about it because the blockchain's pub. Losing me. Yeah. Tom Brady, you went out of business for it.

Losing me. Sorry, wipe my hands with that. I'll stick with my, you know, S&P. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't know. Just the Dow.

I get the Dow. Dow's great. Yeah. Nasdaq, sure. Yeah. Blockchain, no thank you. So. I had a conversation with the chat,

at GPT yesterday about like investing. I've never done it, but I'm like, well, I don't have retirement, so I guess I probably should put away some. And I mean, it's going great. It's acting like I'm a financial expert. And I'm like, I seriously asked it to explain to me like I was 10 years old. Yeah. And even then, I was like still too many acronyms. Sometimes they overestimate 10 year olds. It's like five, please. I'll do five. I should have gone five. Yeah. Yeah, you're going to want to do a global ETF fund. Yeah, that's probably low risk, a lot of fun. Mm-hmm. High yield. yield yeah yeah index index yeah blockchain what the heck is that going what's going on there all right my last pick things i don't understand is how my mortgage keeps going up

don't try looking into it i don't know what's going on down in olatha but boy am i losing money on that house oh really i mean hey the value is appreciating over time and that is nice yeah but i mean what's going on and i don't even know who to talk to about it you're talking about it is Luke? I don't even know if he does mortgages anymore. I'm pretty sure he's full time at a church. It feels like I'm wasting his stuff. I'm asking a lot of them to look at my mortgage. It's going up. Oh, it goes up. And so I tried to, you know, my, my mortgage website, it even has like FAQs that are like personalized to me. So like one of the FAQs is like, why is my mortgage going up? Perfect. Yeah. And so I click on it. It's like, oh, it's simple.

Well, the price is higher. More than last month That's how No I mean it starts spouting off this stuff Of like well typically we like this much An escrow and recently there hasn't been that much an escrow So we've got to make up that ground somewhere I'm like well isn't it on auto

What do you mean there's not enough Who is escrow? Whose job was it to get an escrow? I'll do it Yeah I just don't know where it's at or how I I'm good for it. Don't over.

Yeah, trust me. Am I paying fees or I don't even understand what. Yeah, like since I'm paying more, is that I mean I'm paying it off quicker or better? Yeah, is this okay actually in the long run or like. Or is it just going all the interests? Because then I got to go, okay, new tab. Why don't I have enough money in escrow?

And it's like, well, it could be a few things. Maybe your property taxes went up. Maybe this happened. Maybe this happened. It's like so. But that still feels like a lot. It's going up too much. I don't like it.

So I seriously. I might just sell the house Really? Isaac if you're listening to this Start a looking I'm like this is ridiculous I'm losing like 1200 a month on this house Wow really

And I didn't know that until yesterday So I'm like just let's just get rid of it Stupid house Or just rent it more traditionally I was asking I was looking Isaac if you're listening to this Find some buddies We're charging you three grand a month now

How many people live there right now? Three five bedroom house Oh So you got space So over halfway there. That's a large family that could live there. Yes. And spend $3,000, whatever it is.

Yeah. $3,000, $4,000, like a rent on that house. The rent's estimate was like $2,800. Great. Zestimates are dumb. Okay. Double it. Double it.

Double it. Double it. Double it. See if someone says, yeah. If they don't change it. Or sell it and buy some Bitcoin on the server. Also true. In the cloud.

Cloud based. Oh, yeah. Coin. I bet it is proper. property taxes maybe I don't know yeah who knows somebody's gonna know Luke all right for this next ad read it's gonna be for Main Street Roasters we're gonna play a game we're just gonna go around the circle counterclockwise and we're just gonna say words that rhyme with beans ready beans dreams all right from the top okay all right

but how a cruise ship floats yep boy I mentioned a last night together boy yeah things are heavy huh yeah yeah you guys seen them have you ever

have you ever seen that movie Poseidon no kind of sounds like you pronounce it Piscian Poseidon but it's a cruise ship Poseidon

it's a cruise ship that gets tipped upside down by a tidal wave tidal wave, tidal wave? A tidal wave? Tidal wave, sorry. It gets pushed upside down and so then in order to get out these people have to go to the top of the ship which is actually the bottom of the ship. Oh I see like a full uh, it's belly up. Belly up. I think I saw

previous for Poseidon and I thought it was like about probably some sea monster or something. Same 100%. You see that you see the you see the worst movies it's a good movie and you love them I do I enjoy it a lot anybody ever seen timeline you love timeline I do like timeline it's got it's so it's so okay it's so okay it's pretty good

it's fun yeah but you like you like it as a 35 year old well I haven't watched it in 10 years I've watched it like three months no timeline what else you say oh cruise ship cruise ship float I said microwaves it's crazy how fast get things hot and then you just can put your hand in there and just fine i never thought about that like it's so not hot once you open that thing up i never thought about that crazy you know there's a fridge yeah cold in there all the time i got it just keeps it cold somehow but the microwave

is just like it's hot it's not crazy i would dare say a fridge is kind of interesting or a freezer because you can't create cold you can only create a lack of heat so it's impressive that these devices are creating a lack of something. Yeah. Wow. I'm having a hard time. I'm having a hard time. You can create a lack of something.

You can't take it away. Yeah. So yeah, you take away heat. It seems like that'll take a while. How do you keep it? I can keep the lack. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I don't know.

I said microwaves. I said women. Women are confusing. Just physically and just emotionally. Thanks. Little ribs. Tiny ribs. Tiny ribs.

GPS, crazy. I don't know. Like, it just always knows. It knows within a hundred feet when you're supposed to turn. It's like, you're right here. And like, if GPS doesn't know that, like, construction went up today,

sometimes you're kind of shocked. Like, wow, I'm surprised it knows this road isn't closed. Yeah, or even like it knows the traffic. Whatever, I don't know. And then lasers. I don't understand how you can, like, that's crazy.

Just any lasers. Like, some of those lasers can shoot for a long time. Piggyback, LASIC. LASIC. laser Lasic Yeah Lasers are kind of crazy Yeah

Visible ones Evisible ones I heard about this law That New Mexico Doesn't let you lock the doors If miners are inside of a building Don't understand that What?

Seems dangerous In a house Like if you're doing like some like church event or something Oh really Like you can't So much for lock kids Come on in Yeah

Okay Weird Last Oner mission how like in grade school like 90s pre-internet we all like made cootie catchers or drew like the Superman S how did we know to do these things how did we all play mash yeah like weird and we learned these things who started that and how long ago did they start them how long did it take to spread like was somebody was one guy in you know San Jose California in 1964

making it ass like that they're like slowly take it on Route 66 and go east trust me you'll get there there's some things that are like okay that's probably cultural that was like hanging posters up on your room we probably saw lazy maguire yeah so oh i'll do that kudy catcher maybe we probably saw that on tv but the s but the superman s no one did yeah mash there's probably a other better examples yeah how did we all kind of do these things especially you know about the s oh yeah see how do we all do all those things yeah also i have no idea i don't understand how to make one of those cootie catchers those were tough you could give me you could give me seven days i could try it if you didn't give me any help and give me seven days i would not figure

oh i hope we make those at the back to school party because i would rock it yeah yeah that's kind of about rubic scoves oh yeah i feel like i'm an intelligent guy but i think of my life to pin it on it i couldn't do it yeah i just seems like i don't know if my brain's built to do this cootie catcher no yeah origami no whatever that intelligence is any more kath um yeah um yeah My honorable mentions were barcodes or QR codes. Yeah. Kind of amazing to me. Kind of along the same line as yours.

I think the speed that you could scan a QR code is pretty impressive. That looks like junk to me. Yeah. And you just knew to refill my level of thyroxin? And they all look so similar. So similar. Yeah. I printed off this sheet of all these barcodes for all the different weeks of science or whatever.

Anyway. And so there was like 24 of these QR codes on this sheet. And I was like, those all look the same. How are those different? But somehow they are. And somehow your phone knows and it takes you to do a different link every time. It's impressive. I feel like I made a custom QR code for some Ghostrunners event we did.

And it's just like, do you want it to look like this or this? It all goes to the same website. I'm like, this is fascinating. You should be charging me for this. I can't mean. It's free. Yeah. They're like, well, let's make you this unique little thing.

Yeah. I agree. I agree. I also had where the, water, how the water gets to your faucet. That's good. I know pipes, obviously. There are pipes there. But I'm like,

you could turn it off and then it's just what, chill in there. But like if you turn off a garden hose still like little drips that can come out from like the pressure. But something about like your kitchen faucet or your shower, your sink, like you turn off and it's off. You know? What's it doing?

I think anything to do with movement of water is fascinating. Yeah. Like how initially get it purify it filter it and then it's able to be like delivered a house like our unfinished basement has a drain and that recently dawned on me was like wait we're already like 10 feet in the ground where does this drain go yeah what's underneath the drain great point down there dude yeah is it far it's got to be right i don't know where it goes i don't know either that's good city planning is kind of fascinating oh it gives me headache because it's so complicated it's so complicated

yeah i would not want to do it also sometimes the water towers don't seem that big and that's like that that holds all the water for all of us for a couple neighborhoods yeah it looks like a big above-ground pool sometimes water tower in general is like is this the best way to store water must be how do they get it up there strafford had three of them which felt like we were overcompensating really three for strafford yeah yeah they were one stoplight three water towers that is interesting yeah all right good good schmores guys that was Yeah, consider me confused. Truly.

You guys feeling like a quick game? Round us off. We're just a little game. Okay, so the other day, I was getting my oil changed at the dealership, and there was this game on TV, and I was like, that's kind of fun. And so I made my own version of it. So the game is called, and I think I'm going to make a bunch of these and try to do them in Gold Shores, like maybe for the podcast with the goal, for the Ghost DeSers.

Okay, great. because this is fun but Catherine and Jake are going to be competing and the game is called split second and it's better I'm really sorry

that we don't have a third person if Rachel were here it'd be great because it's meant for three people but the way it works it's also maybe better if you could see it but I'm not

I'm not going to apologize anymore for how this game is going to go but the way it works is I'm going to ask you a question so let's just say for example let's just do an easy one

real quick so I'd say pick a crop and tell me what U.S. state produces the most of it and I'm going to give you three crops okay so I'm going to say potatoes avocados and corn and whoever dings in first gets to answer whichever one they want oh just one of them just one of them wait wait wait I know you'll get there so just one of what okay one of those three answers so I'm going to say pick a crop and tell me what U.S. state produces most of it oh oh potatoes corn the first person that dinged in the you get rewarded by getting to choose the one you're most confident yeah gotcha okay and so jake

would say ding potatoes idaho correct and then i'd send it over to you katherine i would say corn iowa correct and then i guess to go back to jake i don't know at this point this is where it'd be nice to have ding rachel and she'd be like avocados montana she wouldn't get any points for that you two would get the points correct answer is california california wow good thing it wasn't Catherine's turn. So maybe the game is as simple as every time you ding in, you can't ding in a row, but anybody can take that third one. Wait, but what if I ding in for the second?

I'll say correct and then you ding again. So two times in a row. You double ding. Oh yeah, you just can't double ding at first. Does that make sense? I think so. And the questions are all over the place, guys. Oh, I can't wait.

All right. Okay. All right. Once again, you've got to listen to the options because there's no way to, to see them obviously um all right yes or no on this one have these singers ever performed at a super bowl half time show mary j blige garth brooks tony bennett ding katherine so you'd say what am i supposed to say you'd say the answer may j blige yes correct in 2022 jake ding garth brooks no correct anybody tony

Bennett? Not confident enough to lose a point. You know what's at stake here. Ding. Tony Bennett, no. Oh, Tony Bennett did it in 1995. Oh, sorry, Jim. All right. You were brave enough to Dean. I was brave. Good. You know what? One point for bravery. Oh, what? It's one of those games. It's points and bravery. Those are two ways to turn. You get two points for answer correctly. One point for bravery. Wow. Okay. Okay. Good to know. Now you tell us. So two to three. All right. Next question. How many stars are found on the flags in these countries? Australia, Israel, United States. Ding.

Jake. Israel won. Correct. Ding. Catherine. United States 50. Correct. Australia.

Bravery points. All right, ding. Okay. Five. We are going for six. Oh, good bravery, though. Point for bravery. Close.

Point for bravery. bravery one point minus for doing a prime number when they have prime ministers i feel like this is rigged um all right let's do this one um tell me each of these facts about benjamin franklin the eyeglasses he's credited with inventing the ivy league school he helped found and what he tied a key to in a storm ding katherine eyeglasses were bifocals correct ding ding He tied to a kite. Correct. Trying to remember that.

Ivy League school. Harvard. He helped found a heart. What is Harvard? Nice. We were looking for Penn, Pennsylvania. Holy God, that makes sense. Equal amount of points.

Bravery bonus. But no points for it. No points. Jake is making out like a king. No points. We don't say making out. We don't say turn down. We don't say making out.

All right. This question could really suck, guys. Is this a real brand of vacuum or something I made up? Oh, gosh. Queen of Clean, Dirt Devil, Rug Thug, Ding. Dirt Devil is real. Yes. You have to go.

Oh, I have to? Yeah. Ding. Condescending ding. Queen of clean, rug thug? Rug thug. Correct. Ding, Queen of Clean is real.

At the last second I was like, Like, oh, I should have made it rhyme. Queen of Clean. Yeah, that's the real thing. Oh, that was good. Queen of clean, not real. That's the fake thing. Dang.

Bravery point, though. All right. This one I think Jake's going to do great with. Catherine, I love you. Yeah. What zodiac sign includes each of these consecutive letters? What? Minnie.

M-I-N-I. Tar, T-A-R, cap. Ding. Jake. TAR is Taurus Incorrect Yeah, incorrect Because it's T-A-U-R

I thought that's how he said it DING Capricorn Yes And I'm done Am I and I? Aren't I done? Isn't it J-Stern?

No You may ding Oh Tor Am I-N-R Or is Rachel Tor Sagittorius

Yeah you're saying Tor T-R T-R T-R Sagittarius Yeah you got it and then am i and i oh oh oh ding jimini very good all right the score is six to six

what i've lost every round i don't believe this a lot of bravery though all right this is the last one we're going to do on this one and then we're going to do some more and gold shorts a thing all right these are palindromes which we know are words spelled the same backwards and forwards race car no way yeah it's a classic what is the palindrome for each what is the palindrome for each A woman in a habit A homeowner's document Police use it to nab speeders Okay, okay, Catherine

None Woman in habit, none Very good Ding, radar for police Very good Ding, dang it Dede Dede

Dang it Catherine wins Thank you All right, barely Was working against a rigged system there Everybody's game That was kind of fun right Yeah

That was fun The last one is great The palindromes? Yeah, I like palindromes. Thank you. I got plenty of these, and I got 15 hours to think of more. Golly. Catherine, are you excited for football season?

Pumped. Yeah. I can't wait to watch Jake off to his thing. Yeah. We need to do our ghosty guillotine league. Yes, we do. I think I got 15 hours. You're filling up that time.

Everything is 15 hours. Honestly, it feels like I have five days in the car, so it's like, Yeah. I'll do anything. I'll look at a calendar now. For those interested, I don't know. We'll probably loosely do the draft sometime to first, second, or third. I'd like to do it right before the season.

Great. Somewhere in there. You don't want you guys know. In Gulf Shores? Sorry, I said that. No. Good. I'd hate that.

I don't think so. Great. We'll do win in the week. Come in the week. Yeah, good point, good point. Spotify comment of the week, Catherine. Think about it, Kath. Y'all have to show me that when we get done.

You have to show me how you did that. Shocked by that. I'll never know. My win of the week. So Kyle and I are, Kyle Kizuda, that pickleball guy, he's in town again. We're filming some stuff. And one of the things we're doing is he's got to kind of be my coach and he's going to like break down like a match that I played in.

And he was like actually looking at it yesterday. He's like, dude, I've never really like paid a ton of attention to like how you play pickleball or whatever. He was like, you have better decision making than a lot of like pro players I know. Oh, I'm so gassed up. That's all you need to hear. I'm like, whatever it takes. Yeah.

I'll get a cold plunge. I'll get a physical. Yeah, whatever I need to do, take care of this temple, this body. Yeah, because the brain's sharp. Yeah, mentally. You got to get the harm, right? Right. He said a really, a lot of really nice things and, like, really, like,

encourage me and Isaac to, like, keep trying to get better. Because I'm the one who's like, I'm pretty much at my ceiling. Right. I mean, look at them. 33. Didn't play tennis. He's like, no, dude, you've got so much more to go. I think you should set this as a goal.

I think you could win out this and this. I mean, look at him. He obviously, he was a very good athlete before, but so were you. But he's kind of. Yeah, he's not a tennis guy. I never saw him on Next Trick Shot Superstar. No, he doesn't know Chad. And if he does, he probably calls him Chad Ocho Cinco, not just Chad.

Exactly. You know? I call Mr. Chad. That's right. Anyway, very recent win, but that fired me up. I'll say it. I bet. Now I'm encouraged to get better pickleball.

You, Amigo? Yes. Okay. Another, like, this is on. probably even more not that yours was silly but like well mine's pretty shallow mine's pretty shallow too to an extent like well kind of I uh I was a church on Sunday and the the pastor you know we go to a huge church and granted I was sitting like right in the front I was in the second row but the pastor I don't even remember the context I should go back and listen to it but

like was talking about how there's all these great men in our church and he starts like he's like and he starts like saying all these old men's names and he's like you know this guy Jerry and Bert yeah Jerry whatever and and Bert Junkin and Brad Ellis and I was like what I'm top four yeah I was like I was like third or fourth dimension it was kind of amazing it was it was kind of it was like because I was watching at home you know because I wasn't there and I was like oh my gosh I know him and it was like it was certainly off the cuff it wasn't like he was like I have Brad Ellis written down in my note or anything like that so I know but at the same time it was like equal parts like imposter syndrome like this guy that i i'm not good enough to be

shouted out don't say my name but also like motivated of like i i better live up to this like you know he expects me now yeah yeah it's like holy cow so he gave pastor bob or a military bob anyway that was kind of crazy yeah that's actually right and like he never very rarely does even like give anecdotes or anything like that so it was like i was not expecting that so anyway Yeah, kind of shallow, but also like kind of fun to be encouraged is the theme. It's fun to be encouraged. Amen. Yeah, I've been thinking.

Here's one just from this morning, a win of today. So this year for school, I mean, hopefully it's going to be more than just school. But I've been trying, this week is our trial week of school or our transition week, whatever I've been calling it. I don't even know. Meaning like I've been trying to like wake the kids up at a certain. time we're having breakfast at a certain time we're sitting down the living room like just starting to like get back into that rhythm weaning them on yes so we haven't started official school but we've started I don't have a good name for it yet morning time Bible time devotions whatever you want to call it

and so I've decided I'm like I'm going to gather all the kids in the living room and we're going to read a chapter of the Bible and I'm going to read it out of my Bible but they can all get their own Bibles and they're going to follow along you know whatever and then after that we're going to sing a hymn and then we're going to pray and then be done and then we'll all go on and do whatever and And then once school starts, we'll like transition to the dining room where we actually do our school. So anyway, just like starting to get into more of like a morning habit routine. And today we had gotten through the reading part and Henry was being fussy. I don't even remember what was happening with him.

But I was starting to get bothered because he had just been interrupting a lot. Anyway, so I had picked him up and I had to take him out of the room. I don't remember what four. I don't know what I was doing. And so then I'm finishing up and probably. changing his diaper. So I finished changing his diaper. And as I'm walking back into the living room, I hear Hattie and kind of Bo, but like mainly Hattie, because we had finished our reading. So the next thing is we sing a hymn. And we do the same hymn for like a couple weeks

in a row. And she had started, like she had opened our little binder of hymns. And she had found the one we were doing. And she had started singing it on her own, like leading bow in it in the hymn. Oh yeah. And yeah, it was so like, for one thing I was proud of her because I feel like she's not that way often. Like, I feel like she doesn't take initiative like that very often. She'll just like, well, I was waiting from her and she'll do it kind of thing. So I was really proud of her for taking initiative and leading and starting it. But then just her sweet little voice singing a little hymn and like leading her brother and singing to him.

That's nice. It was really sweet. And it was like, oh, okay, we're doing it. Yeah. We've done it. What, him is it? All the way my savior leads me. Oh, yeah.

Very good. Yeah, Beth Fana Crosby. anyway it was good that's my win jeez one of the week that's amazing I love that better than ours yeah all right comment of the week

recently serve on a jury. Because there for a while I thought we were on to something. I've thought about that since then. Yeah. I still get worried about the poison ivy thing. Where was I the other day? I was just like, I don't know if this is poison ivy. Who was it? I have no idea.

Three different people commented. Like everyone's in on this. Like, yeah, interesting. I also have it a poison ivy, but I served on a jury. Amanda said, I've had poison ivy but never had jury duty.

I'm committed to not losing my voice. I'm committed, dude. Did I lose it the first year? Yeah.

You lose it every time anywhere. You're a heated story losing voice style. I'm going to try to talk outside more. So I think that's the issue is... It gets so loud in the house. It's loud in the house. And so you're just... And so you're basically yelling for an extended period of time when you're having

conversation. No singing on the way down. Okay. Are you guys a singing the car by yourself kind of person? No, but you are. I'm really not You and Timon are I've been parking next to time

I should listen to that. God's got my bag. I mean, I've heard that part. It sounds a lot like that. But I haven't heard the rest of it. Let me know if you need more of it. Yeah, I find that one very catchy. And I don't.

With the lemonade. Oh, man. I think lemonade is probably just the story with it. Yes. Yeah. That makes it kind of lovable. What about the backs? It's all fabricated, dude.
