I'm rolling. No rush. No pressure. Why is Timon always forces to record? He starts rolling. I know. Timon's always like, he gets here and we record right away. It's like, open the door, sit down. Roll. Let's start it. I, uh, hey-oh. I got a story. I don't know if I'm going to be able to. This is a funny story. Okay. All right. All right. Can I say that? So laugh, even if I don't tell it super well. Great. You're setting the expectation that this will be funny.

This is funny. I just hope I can do it justice as far as I telling it. We've all been there. It's just one of those times. I get it. You know, we talked about a couple weeks, whatever, during the beach, Bo and Catherine and the mouse thing. So, Catherine was nervous about this mouse being on this sink. And, like, truly hates mice, like, to the point where she's like, I'm not cooking

in our kitchen. I'm not, we're not having food here. Our friend Tate, super nice. Tate and Hillary sent Catherine a $50 door dash gift card while I was gone, like, knowing that, oh, you know, you have the week to your, week by yourself. and she was so pumped. She's like, okay, I'm using it on Chick-fil-A today. Like Chick-fil-A, because it's like nasty with this mouse.

I'm not getting in our kitchen right now. And so as she's like disposing of this mouse standing on, or Bose disposing of it, she's standing on this bar stool that we have with her gloves on. She gets a text and it says, Jesus is approaching now with your Chick-fil-A. Of course, it's, hey, Seuss, but it felt like it was just like, you know,

you are being blessed by your son dumping the mouse out. Chick-fil-A is here. Jesus is coming. God's got me. God's got my... I know. I was going to say, breast is the first thing I thought of because I was trying to think of a one syllable.

I was like, Tinder doesn't work. Nugget doesn't work. So breast is the first thing I thought of... God's got my breasts. Sorry, but syllables, God. Sorry, it's also true. Every part of your body. Every part of your body.

God's got it. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this type 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 this is a ghost from a podcast. Oh, my morning. You're taking around.

Ghost from a podcast. Oh, my. Immediately I thought about that. Hey, speaking of Forest Frank. You've been following the beef? Uh-huh. I have. Cool.

Time, what do you have up to this week? Okay. No, I'm just kidding. It feels like every Christian now has to be like, what's your stance? Okay, that's a perfect. And that's how I like that. So this is my stance. I don't care.

I like his music. I don't care enough to care. Like, I think it's kind of interesting to like be like, oh, interesting. Maybe they like, they probably planted this thing. Maybe I understand why he's a little bit bothered by it. Like, at the end of the day, though, it's like, there's enough stuff going on in the world. We're good. But everybody seems like they're not that upset about it.

So, like, we're good. I'm with you because this is such a big deal. We'll explain it here a little bit. This is such a big deal in, like, Christian culture that was like, what if we could talk about this in the podcast and I could have like a really funny take about it and we could like clip that? And I just realized I don't care enough. I got nothing.

That's how I feel about a lot of pop culture, Christian pop culture, or elsewhere, elsewhere, otherwise. Like, it's just like, I don't, whatever. People are like so strongly Taylor Swift pro or con. you like her a lot. A lot of people really dislike her. And I'm just like, I don't care. I'm more interested in John Chris getting engaged, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. What is your view of Terry Swift? Is it just like just like any other? I mean, she's no different than Duolipa or Madonna. Like this is just like a female pop artist. I don't have. I'm not trying to like corner you.

I'm just like, I don't have any real positive feelings towards Madonna at all. Well, I don't know. Like maybe that is how you feel. It's like, oh, just like, I'll say that. It's like Vincent Boone. Like, yeah, whatever. If the, if the spectrum is zero percent, I hate her, 100 percent, I love her, I'm probably not 50.

I'm probably a little lower than 50. Like, I think I kind of dislike her, but only because it's like, I just get bothered by all the attention. And like, one way or the other, I just get bothered by people getting like so high on the horse of one way or the other. And I'm just like, I'm kind of just bothered by people talking about her in general. So I don't know if that's really her fault, though, if that makes sense. Yeah.

Musically, I don't even think. I have enough knowledge of her to know. Like, I know her old stuff pretty well, and I like that a lot. I've heard her, like, hits and they're fine. But I don't think I care that much. Like, it's just like pretty, pretty like whatever. Like, if I hear it at a pickleball court or wherever I am, that Applebee's, you know, oh, there's a song. It's like, oh, fun song. Yeah. Oh, this is the song anti-hero. Okay, got it. That's why they call it that because there's a lyric in there this way, like, but I don't know. Like, there's a song in your wedding video. That's a fun song. I don't think I've ever heard that song before that video. Thank you. You don't hear it much.

It's fun song. Hits different. It's different. It's different this time. It's like, fun song. Do I had so many ghosties at the gateway. Be like, I love your wedding video. I watch it probably once a month.

Really? Well, I'm glad I uploaded it then. That's fun that you've been getting joy out of that. It is great video. Yeah. But yeah, Taylor Swift, don't really care. I was kind of excited to see that maybe they got engaged in Leewood. Kind of fun.

I think it was Lee Summit. Okay, but I heard that was wrong. I did. That's what a lot of people think. A lot of people think Lee Summit. Yeah, I heard, I heard Ed Kelsey was one that said Lee Summit, but he doesn't know what he's talking about is what I read. I guess, yeah, I shouldn't have trusted the father or the groom.

I don't know. Then again, I mean, this was all like, I think I just was scrolling social media. And they, like, showed what Travis Kelsey's, you know, home and Leewood looked like, and then they like decorated or something. But that could be AI. Hey, who knows? But I'm like, it's kind of cool to think like Taylor Swift got engaged in Kansas. Somewhere right.

Within 10 miles. Yeah. I love all the memes that are like, this is such a figure. Hairytale engagement. Look how beautiful it is, all the flowers. And then you go and see that the tagged male is called Killatrav. It's just so opposite. Or they're even like, imagine Taylor having to post her engagement and having to click

tag friend, type in K-I-L-L-A and tag him. That is fun. Well, I have to tag Killetrave. Me and Killetrave are officially engaged. I've also seen people making fun of a, like, because her caption was like, you're a high school. What is it? You know it. You're a high school English teacher. Oh yeah. Married your high school gym coach or whatever. People are making fun of Bill Belichick and his like girlfriend 50 years aren't in him. And it's like your high school gym teacher and English student just

got engaged. That's pretty funny. Is that from a song or something? Why did she say that? There's a yeah. I mean, it's got some some meaning to it. I think. I figured. Everything she does has meaning, dude. Yeah. Orange in the background of the mint. you see Union Station lit up for no for like all her colors and everything there's so much going on crazy do you think John Chris is genuinely a little bit like dang dude I found out John Chris was engaged from Jesse Platner Jesse Dale that boy is multifaceted bro he is he's like very like yeah just for a guy who would love to cook up a groundhog he doesn't miss a beat online good yeah how much like what's your experience with Jesse like because I know you knew him

before the podcast, right, Tywin? Yeah, I mean, I never, like, was crazy tight with him, but, like, I've known him for a long time. Okay. Was my experience with him? Like, I don't know. Yeah. I guess that. Yeah, that's what I was asking.

I definitely, like, it didn't surprise me at all. He was a big junker's guy. Yeah. Like, it's, yeah, he's like a country guy or whatever, but he's not, like, off the grid. Yeah. I know. It's amazing. Like, it's kind of, it's, he's just truly a jack of all trades kind of guy.

Yes. So I speak to what it's like. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I feel very connected with. Jesse right now. So I announced on the podcast last week, like, yeah, my phone died. So I'm just going to have to probably just figure out how to get home without a phone. And, or I was in my head, I was like, or maybe I could go for like two hours to T-Mobile in Gulf Shores and find a new phone.

Naturally, Jesse, Mr. Johnny on the spot has everything. Brought a shovel, brought a bucket, brought caution tape to the beach for his whole. And an extra T-Mobile phone. He's like, hey, man. Yeah, I got an extra phone in my car. I never go on vacation. I was like, what? He's like, yeah, I, uh, he's like, I, I, I just got a new phone and just have my old one still if you want to, if you want to use it. And I was like, yeah, sure. Yeah, it's amazing.

Uh, so got his phone and like, it's, it was my number, but everything else about it was his phone still. It's very odd, even from my end. Uh, and I tried, I, I, I, I, Jesse, just for the record, I was very successful and like, not snooping. I didn't snoop. No photos. No.

I didn't go through photos. I saw one note that just had made for people, which is the book that I talked to about. So I was like, okay, he was listening to me. He put made for people in it. All right. But that was it. No messages. I made sure not to look at any of his old message.

I don't know. I was tempted, no doubt. But not going to do it. But I did get some notifications still because he was still signed on to Facebook, mainly Facebook. And he was trying to sell a Volkswagen Jedda. For how much? Crazy chief. I think it was 400 bucks.

Yeah, I think so. And I think it was like, I don't know if it was working very well. Whatever. I'm not sure the whole story. But man, when you try to sell a car for 400 bucks, hot commodity. People like it.

People will comment on it. And it's not always the highest class of people that are wanting to buy a car for $400. And so some of the text that I was just like getting notifications, like messenger on this phone that I was borrowed from him were hilarious. It was honestly like some of the names of these people even. were just hilarious. I can't remember him now, but there was one that the guy ended with the Z or something like two chains, but it wasn't two chains. Oh, but something like that.

Fredericks, a couple axes. Yeah, it was just like, and you saw like all these people were offering different trades. There was one that I wish I would have clicked on. Oh, this is, so I eventually got a new phone from Alvaro. Those are my wins of the week is Jesse and Alvro just hooking it up. No way. Alvaro's like, I have an old phone that you can use. I was like, dude, he's like, yeah, I'll sit to you. He's just collecting dust in my house. Dude, so this new laptop, Jason Morse. No. I'm kidding. No way, dude. Apple store.

But anyway, there was one guy that sent 18 photos and then like three videos like real back to back. So I saw the notifications for him. And he's like, I'll give you all of this for the Jeddah. And I wish I would have clicked on that just to see. What's in here? Yeah, the guy's name was like Barron. Barron something. I was like, what's Barron sending? So Jesse, if you're out there and you want to go back and look at some of those messages, I don't know who he ended up selling to. But there was a guy that on there that said, his name was Homer. And he's like, can you drive this one to Peoria? And I think Jesse said no. And the guy just gave a thumbs up and then goes, actually, you don't want. And he goes, you don't want any cash for

this. I don't have, I'm missing a leg. Oh, so no, you don't want money then. Yeah. I'm missing a leg. There's two independent clauses pretty separate from each other. Oh, I guess you don't want money. and I guess I don't want two legs. Yeah, it's pretty hard to drive for me. So, Homer, Homer with one leg trying to... Homer, the amputee.

Homer the pirate. Homer the pirate. So, anyway, it was fun having Jesse's phone. I didn't even change the background, so it was like him and his wife on the background.

Every time my kid's on, who's that? It's funny being in a group text with you because it's always like, do you want to update your contact to Jesse Plattner? And it's got his photo in it, like I see his picture every time you text.

Because that was the thing. So I was like trying to like log out I got so close to logging out, got his Apple ID and everything. But in order to, like, truly log out of his Apple ID and log into mine, I had to have his face ID. Oh. And so he, like, sent me a picture. He's like, just use my picture. I'm like, Jesse, if it were that easy, I think people would be hacking into each other's phone a lot.

I think that's like most of the technology in your front face of camera is like a 3D model of your face. Like, it's not just like, oh, I mean, same smile. Right. Yeah. So he sent me like this picture of him like being like, like, use this. To be fair, I didn't try it to me on Saturday because you already left. He was like, look what I sent Brad. See if it works.

I was also like, how am I even going to get that? It's on the same phone that I need face ID from. Yeah, I have to get mirrors and some iPads. Yeah, I should have just mirrored it. Yeah, just literally. But anyway, it was fun. It was fun like kind of living vicariously through Jesse for a few days. It's kind of funny.

It's like, it's still my phone. I could talk to whoever I need to, but I get notifications from this other guy occasionally. It was also kind of a rush. So I had none of my contacts in there. You were one of the only people, because you're in both phones. All right. Triplett with one T. Yeah.

Jake Triplett. Timon probably was in there if I wanted to text Simon. Yeah. But every time somebody would text me, it'd be like a game. Like, who's this? What if I can figure it out? It seems like maybe, yeah, that's, okay, that's an area code from Wisconsin. So it might be Thomas Schuller.

Maybe it's, yeah, maybe it's Justin from back in the day. Yeah. Whatever. So I'd have to, like, go back and forth. And then my computer texts were different. They were on my icons still. Yeah. And so, like, I would text somebody on there and then, like, they were gone on your phone.

Oh, shoot. Like, I need to go get on my Wi-Fi to, like, check and see if somebody's texting me back about this. It was great. We had a text conversation on your computer. Yeah, more business. About next year's Ghosturns Getaway. And we had a conversation on our phone just about my birthday and how you had the date wrong. Business and pleasure to.

Yeah, sorry about that. That's not on you. That's Jesse. He had my birthday wrong in his phone. He did. And my last name wrong. Yes. So maybe.

The plat man. The plat man. Doesn't know birthdays is probably. Yeah. We're going to deport them. Send him back to Pakistan. But yeah, Jesse is how I found out John Chris was engaged. You're kind of off the grid at Ghostrunners Getaway a little bit.

I'm not on my phone much. No. I don't see anything. I get in bed and I think, oh, this would be nice to have a little bit of a loan to out. 100%. Let's be nice. We can catch up and midget and sleep. Gone.

So I had no idea. But I get it though. Like when I opened Instagram, when that was a thing, like it was a top of my algorithm. John Chris is engaged. And then I opened, after I, like, heard about Taylor Swift, it wasn't on my feed. So I was like, I guess, what does that say about me? I don't know. Is that a good thing, bad thing?

So did it happen the same day? No. Really? No, it was like, I thought it was like a few days before. It was at the getaway. Oh, that's nice. Maybe. I have no idea.

Okay. care too much. Yeah. But yeah, I just, there's some things I'll comment on an Instagram, but this is not one of those. Okay. I'm not willing to release a statement on this quite yet. Here's this. I think, so if, if slash I do believe, but if we, if we believe that Forrest Frank was like miraculously healed essentially, I don't think that is something we should make fun of. However, I do understand like he's put it out there for people in the world like social media wise. Uh, like, so therefore he's open to scrutiny when that happens.

Whoa, Tyman? Tymer's out of nowhere just sends me a picture of him with a mustache. Let's talk about it. I got a haircut yesterday. And I was like, I feel like my siblings were like, you look like Forrest Frank. And I was like, if I face up a mustache, I wonder if it's close.

I'll put it on screen. That looks not bad. If you can get it dark like that. Yeah. There's not a, not a good chance. But how often are you shaving these days, Timmy? Got it for a couple, every few days. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, I'm on that same schedule. I don't know I could grow a mustache until I tried. Yeah, maybe I'll try. You got to try time. This winter. Bear down. This winter.

I can see it, timing. You could be like a force for ink. You got to get in the gym a few more days. For sure. But I mean, you do look pretty muscular in this picture even. Oh, thanks. Yeah, face abs and muscles in there. That's right.

That's good. Well, recently, I've had a lot of just like fun interactions with adult male strangers. I'm just going to rattle them off. Feel free to pause me at any point, ask questions, but I'll just go quick. Went to the Apple story yesterday. My old laptop was not getting the job to it.

So I go in there, I train in a couple devices. And this guy really takes the liking to me. He asks me what I do for a living. I say I create content. He's also a bit of a content creator. He's got an animal channel. And he also just discovered pickleball. So I just have a phone called Nathan Coley.

And I was like, hey, it's going to be a while. this guy makes YouTube videos and plays paperball. We had a great time. He liked me so much that, like, under, he, like, covered his shirt. He was like, I'm not supposed to say this, but we price match. I was like, got it, got it. I was, like, also trying to, like, be cool. Mm-hmm.

Like, blanking Morse code, understood. Tell me what to do next. Where is the best? Do you do new egg or only, like, best buy and target? Do I need to leave the store's Wi-Fi to do it? Whoa, did you? So, tell me. So he was like, yeah, like, he's like, just find it online.

We can match up to 10%. I was like, okay. So I just, although he did also ask, do you have a phone on you, which is offensive? Yeah, I've got a phone on me. I just traded in two MacBook computers. Anybody that's at the Apple store probably has a phone on it. Or that's why they're there. Yeah.

Oh, a store full of phones. Yeah. Exactly what I need. But he was like, Nebraska. Furniture Mart or Best Buy. So it was great. He saved me $200. That's amazing.

Yeah. And it was probably just because we connected. And so then I'm like asking him under my breath. I was like, are you allowed to accept gifts? I've got a paddle on my car. And he was like, I actually. I drive the Nissan Ultima. Just leave it on the trunk.

I'll get it when I am out. I'm off. I'm off in 30. Got it. He was like, unfortunately, no. He's like, if you were to give me something, you have to give it to the whole staff here. I have 18 paddles in my trunk.

That will not be a problem. But speaking of doing, I think it's the end of that story, a dead drop. What's dead drop? Well, it's a drug term for leaving a paddle by a Nissan Ultima, basically. Oh, is it? I didn't know. Actually, you know what's funny? Did you know dead drop? Oh.

Okay. I have gotten so lazy with my own Instagram story. I don't know if I need accountability or maybe it just doesn't matter. Maybe that's what I'm realizing. But occasionally I'll like film videos from my Instagram story. and then I just kind of never get around to uploading it. Okay. But that's why you have a podcast.

So I played pickleball the morning of my birthday, which I guess doesn't really have much to do with it, but just set the stage. Thank you. And I wanted to leave a guy some paddles behind, but I was leaving early. So I was like, here's what I'll do. I parked in the parking lot across the street.

I was like, I'll hide them for you. And I'll make a little video. I don't know. It would just be a little fun. So I am making a video. for this guy. I'm like, all right, am I going to give you too much

like a most geogessor? But here is the one bush I'm throwing them into. Okay, whatever. Ha, ha, ha. Get back to my car. I'm like, I feel like I had my Apple watch on earlier.

Uh-oh. Where is that? And so then I'm going back, I'm digging around in the bush for my own Apple watch and I can't find it. I'm like, I just had it on. Like, where could it be?

And I'm looking at find my devices and it says it's like on me right now. So I'm checking my car, I can find out of my car, I can find out of my bag. looking weird places. Yeah, yeah. Check the trunk.

You start an irrational with it. Yes, under the car. I pull out, move new parking spot. Then I'm back to the bush again. Well, then I start reviewing the footage because I have footage of me tossing the paddles into the bush. So I'm like zoom, enhance, enhance. I'm like, there doesn't appear to be an Apple Watch leaving my hand, but where is it?

And, you know, of course, there's an option to play sound. That's never once worked. Oh, really? It's like play a sound out of your air pods or out of here. It's too loud. Or too quiet, I mean. Too loud. Yeah.

it sounds like it's all around me oh yeah and so i just leave i'm like i don't know i got to go podcast so i podcast with tray i go do all these other little birthday things about 9 30 and 9 i'm like oh yeah apple wash check find my devices it still says it's in the parking lot i'm like right let's go get it so me and rachel in the night of my birthday are just like digging around a parking lot bush from my apple watch you are geocaching at this point and so eventually uh we found it but yeah i was like multiple people recognized me in the parking lot, because I'm at a pickleball parking lot. Yeah.

Hey, you Friday guy? Down there with my flashlight. Yes, I am. Oh, hey, what's going on? Yeah. And they're like, what are you doing? And it's like, nothing illegal. Don't worry about it.

Keep walking. It's my birthday. Just my birthday. I grew up at a weird home. We have weird traditions. Yeah. So it was just in the bush. It just fell out.

Yeah, I even told Rachel, I was like, look at this footage. How did it get out of my hand? It's very interesting. You don't see me throw the outside. Apple Watch in there, but oh, it was in there. And you got a strap around, like, it's like, it's clicked in, but it's also, there's a strap there. I don't know. This is, first question when I get to heaven. Yeah. How did that Apple Watch get in that bush?

God, come on. Was it you? Yeah. Did you intervene? You prank it on me? Yeah. Other men I have talked to. I had a guy come over to do some dryer vent cleaning. You ever had that? Dryer vent. Yeah, it's like the thing that goes outside your house, like where it pushes all the air. occasionally on TikTok I'll see like this job like this guy making videos because he'll like blow out all the stuff

it's crazy how much comes out oddly satisfying Rachel while I was in Gulf Shores is like hey our clothes smell like fart oh that's a new dryer should be fine so I also have a dryer vent guy come out let us be a lesson to everyone he said

it wasn't a lint built up in the like hose or whatever it was water he was like because your clothes are wet when they go in so moisture is supposed to go out and he's like at some point for whatever reason it got blocked so now all the water is just sitting in your like pipe and so we undid it and dumped into a bucket it was one of the worst smells of my life yeah unbelievable he was gagging he was gagging the guy that does this for a living and it's funny is i was like wow sorry this is so bad but i appreciate being able to diagnose it

so quick and he goes you know i've been in this business for and then i'm going to pause right there. Well, if you're going to tell someone how long you've been in the business, how long do you need to be in the business? Oh, multiple years. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, over four years. Four years sounds, uh, three years. You don't think three years you'd say it. I've been, I've been doing this for three years now. And it just doesn't sound like a flex. Or I don't know if he's trying to flex. It's like, well, you know, it's this is kind of what you get when you're in the business for six months. Gosh, man. I've been doing this like 16 days. I've never started anything like that. Um, yeah.

I think five years was my initial thought. Okay. Well, good job. Oh. Yeah. This guy was to say, this guy was probably like 60 years old or something. Okay. And so I was expecting an answer in like the 30s maybe.

And I was like, sorry, at least you know how I diagnosed it. And he goes, you know, I've been doing this for nine years, eight months, and four days. I think I know how to diagnose it. I was like, hey, great, man. I was like, I kind of expected a longer answer. So this isn't your first career. I mean, 30 years obviously is like amazing. But like nine years, what were we doing nine years ago?

We haven't been doing, we haven't podcast nine years. That's true. You know, it's a good amount of time. Yeah, you're seasoned at nine years. Yeah. For sure. And then one last thing about this guy. So my brother-in-law, Braden, he is missing a pinky.

No, I'm just kidding. From a farming accident when he was little. Right. This guy, it was the opposite of Braden. His pinky and ring finger were super long. And then his other fingers were super short. Quite the handshake really gripped me. He could really wrap around.

Yeah, right. That's all he could do, though. Yeah, it was just the wrap-around. So he had, like, two nubs or, like, were they gone? Yeah, nubs, nubs here, really long pinky and a ring finger. He's like, yeah, that happened to me nine years, eight months, and five days ago. No longer working the wood chipper industry. No longer do mulch.

Yeah. Man, that's kind of wild. Yeah. Did you notice it right away, or was it like? No, it was our last thing. I was like, oh, could have been. looking at it the whole time. Yeah.

Dang. But honestly, sometimes if you notice, that's all you look at. Yeah, it's probably best. Like, I didn't notice Braden for like the first, like, four times I hung out with him. And after that, I was just like, so like, tell me about how KU basketball, like, was that fun? Dude, you knew, like, LaGerald Vic, like, personally? You're sitting down. He's standing up.

You're just, like, eye level, just, like, look in his hand. Yeah, dude. So you got to, like, play basketball with them. That's so funny. No, not really, but kind of. I mean, it is like, it's like, how's he holding this cup? Oh, pretty normal. Okay, cool.

We've got to find it elsewhere. Yep. Zach's trying to get a discount. Yeah. Jack's not helping anything. Nickel and diamond me. I realized that since last. June when I started Bondi, my phone, Rachel's phone, and then two other devices, the

Bondi devices have been on like a Verizon business plan. Oh, right. But so I just been paying way too much. I'm like no problem. Switch it. They say you have to go in store to do this. No problem. I kind of like being in a Verizon. Reminds me of like 2009. Yeah. Like going in to have my screen protector done for me. Sure. And so I go in there and having a time they're asking me to wait. And so I haven't waited for a while. Oh, I sent a selfie to the group. I was going to get a conversation going in the group me. How do you guys feel about over your head? headphones. Yeah. And then I sent one selfie and my phone glitched. And so I was like, well, that's it. There's just no context just to the selfie I said. Truly, people were intrigued

though. Yeah, I just sent a zoomed in selfie. No. Somebody, yeah, tell, Jake knew what he was doing here? And then I just didn't say anything for six and a half hours. But then a guy comes up to me and goes, hey, what can help you with? Oh, I'm trying to switch for this Verizon plan. He goes, you're friends with Navarre? And I was like, ah, I don't think I know in Navar. He was like, what church do you go to? I was like, abundant life? He goes, yeah. He's, he's, he's, yeah. He He, Abundant Life has posted you guys in a picture together. I was like, whoa, it's crazy. This is like your third sentence.

I haven't seen that photo. I don't know who Navar is. Yeah. He shows me him on his phone. Never seen the guy. But fun convoy. But there, were you in a picture with him, though? No.

I don't know what this guy's talking about. But we found out that he also, we go to the same church. So that was fun. I don't know what he's talking about. And then. So you said, never, never heard of him? Never. nah really ringing a bell

yours is better tried to top it a good no dude no no no it's good dude and then Tom you try nah nah nah never nah nah

never gonna get any better than that not so then they say we actually can't do this in store you have to call someone dude I have the proof if anyone's looking for it

but I ended up talking to Verizon Wireless on the phone last Tuesday for three hours and 40 minutes total three hours and 40 minutes and not just one person i was getting passed around like as a cap of freshman dude i mean it was what are you trying to do just switch from business to personal that's it that's it switch for business to personal and i'd like to cancel like these two like this bondi phone and this bondi ipad they were not using right and holy cow dude it was unbelievably frustrating that's insane because one because they just really bad at their job

I guess so. I mean, maybe there's a, like, I guess some aspect of this is complicated for them, but I mean, you get on the phone with one person and, well, Scott asked me like two hours into it, because I like missed phone calls, like, sorry, I'm still on the phone with them. And what's your two hours in, it's like, I don't want to stop now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I put all this work into it. Scott was like, what is it that they're trying to do for you? And I said, I think I'm trying to teach them English. I think that's what's more happening here. I'm trying to show them I see how this language works. So that was a bit of a barrier. Dang.

And so they would say, you know, like, all right, what is it you looking to do? Cancel this line, cancel this line, personal. Okay, so you'd like to cancel the phone ending in 8-577. No, no, no, no. That's my phone. Do not cancel that. Yeah. That has been my cell phone the whole time.

Okay. Tell me again what you'd like to do. From the top. Here we go. Dude. And so, yeah, I just like, this person, this person, this person. That's all we're going to say. Three hours, 40 minutes is wild.

Yeah, I mean, I drove to my pickleball league. I, like, warmed up while on the phone with them. And then I just put the pressure on. I was like, it has to happen the next five minutes. Just so you know, it has to happen the next five minutes. Okay, I should be sending an email soon. Just a few minutes. Okay, how long, how many more buttons will it take to send the email?

Just the few more minutes. Are you sending an email? Like, it feels like this is pretty instantaneous normally. Interesting. all right, have you seen it yet? No, it's not refreshing. All right, I'm about to send it. Well, why did you have me refreshing? You haven't seen it yet. Yeah. Nothing about it made sense. And there was one time, this was kind of fun and not fun at all. This guy, who actually spoke pretty English, just gas-lighting me, just like, all right, so you've got three. So what

I'm hearing is you've got three lines that you need to cancel. No, no, no, there's four lines. I need two of them canceled. Okay, it sounds like we've got a bit of a music communication, because sometimes you're saying three and sometimes you're saying four. No, no, no. I've said four the whole time. Okay, so it sounds like we're not really on the same page. So four lines need to be canceled. He was telling me that we are not on the same page.

Okay, so it feels like you're a little bit confused? No, I'm not. I know exactly what I want to do, buddy. It's fine. I had, okay, so it sounds like Verizon, I had conversations with both T-Mobile and AT&T yesterday. Really? You pitting them against each other?

No, no. But after yesterday, I, I think I'm very firmly like, T-Mobile is great, customer service-wise, at least. Wow. It sounds like Verizon was rough. I want to dump them. Then again, like my request was not as complicated as yours by any means, but I called T-Mobile first because I was transferring Jesse's phone, aka my number on Jesse's phone,

to Alvaro's phone, aka my new phone. And but Alvarez had AT&T before. Okay. And so it wasn't letting me do it because SIM, whatever. So I need to call the carrier. So I called T-Mobile, talked to T-Mobile, talked to T-M-M-M-O-T-M-M-W-T-Won. Trey was very easy to talk to, very understandable. Inglace.

Very good English. Very good, you know, send me an email. It appeared right away instantaneously. Horizons don't. Man, I mean, this guy was great, but then like a few, like I'd say after like 10 minutes, he's like, oh, yeah, you need to call AT&T because it's not unlocked on their end yet. Try to call AT&T. They're like, we're actually going to have to continue this conversation via chat, AI chat.

But then eventually it was like a real person on there. It seems to go from real person to have to go back to AI. It was bothersome. But the chat was also bothersome because it took longer than I felt like it should. I was like, all I want to do is unlock this phone. Just like find the unlock button and just like press unlock. No, not literally. Like unlock the SIM on it.

That's what I'm saying. Like it feels like that's all they need to do. Correct. Like go on your system and just. It seems like a very simple. Unlock. And they thought I was trying to unlock Alvaro's current phone. But I was like, no, it's the old phone.

here's the, whatever, the technical IMEI number, whatever for it. And man, there were multiple times I was like, no, you are confused. Yeah. No, you don't understand. No, you are mistaken. Yeah, I felt rude, but I kept having to do that. But the most frustrating thing, and I don't know if this happened to you, probably not three hours, 40 minutes into it.

But she'd be like, okay, let me look into that. And then she would go, while I'm looking into that, dot, dot, dot. And then she would try to upsell me something every time. Oh, I don't like that. I mean, seven different times. She was like, have you heard? about, you know, you can get it for $599 for an iPhone 16. And I'm like, no, thank you. I'm not interested. I'd like to unlock this AT&T phone. Right. And this should be like,

while I'm looking at how to unlock that, have you thought any more about the deal that I proposed to you? Oh, no thanks. Finally, I'd just respond to nice go, please no more offers. That's all I said. Please no more offers. I was trying so hard to be patient with the, but anyway, eventually it got unlocked, but it took longer than that show. I bet it was 45 minutes to an hour. I mean, And that felt like forever. Yeah. Just to unlock a phone. Yes.

Alvro later was like, hey, I think I could have done this on my app. I'm sorry about that. I was like, it's not your fault. You'd be able to do it a favor for me, but,

that's pretty funny. Anyway, so as far as my customer service experiences go, it sounds like T-Mobile 1, 18T2, Verizon 3. Yeah, I mean, three plus hours for like,

that's wild. Maybe it's slightly complicated, but I never wavered in what I wanted. You know, it's like, hey, I'm going to need to transfer it here. Okay,

no problem. All right. So, oh, you know what's the biggest red flag is 45 minutes into it? And they go, all right. And now, what is your first name? Like, ooh, what? Feels like you should know that at this point. Also, feels like you've been looking at my account for an hour. Let's fire me up a little bit about like going into the store and saying you can't do this in the store. Yeah. That's the whole point of the store. Yeah. You can do everything there. And he even said he's like, we're corporately owned and we still can't do this in the store. I said, call them up. What? Yeah. Yes, you can. You can make the phone call for me. I don't know. Like, I know. I wanted to like go back and put the phone and

You do it. You made me do this. Say all the right words to these people to make it fast. What's he saying, word dogs? Speak gibberish to him. That's what I wanted to do. It was brutal. I was on hold a lot.

So it wasn't like I had to talk for three hours, 40 minutes. It was kind of a fun mind game. Like I was on a call, like on my computer and on the phone with them. So like constantly going back, like mute this, mute this. All right, so I got to go. All right, yes. No, my name is still Jacob. Thank you.

All right. Mute. Unmute. What kind of, we got the. on hold music like the I know that song I don't think we had that I don't remember what it was

brutal though I do like that one that one's not bad they should start doing like just nostalgic like golden I 007 like music or like Super Mario Brothers covers or Cody Davis future business idea for you take what you know on the piano with Mario

carp guy? Yeah. Okay. Sell it to Verizon. I will say, one of my favorite things about Jesse Platter's phone is that he's a ringtone guy. Oh, that customized? Uh-huh.

And so, instead of, every time Catherine would call me, instead of it just being like a do, do, do, but, do, but, do you'd be like the immigrant song from Led Zeppelin. You know, a song's like, ah! Ah! And I was like, I think I'm going to bring ringtones back. I think ringtones were fun. I've never committed hard enough to figure out how to do that. I mean, neither, because it used to be so easy.

It seems like you have to go so, so roundabout. Like, yeah, it doesn't seem very simple. I bet it's simpler than we think, but you have to probably do it on your computer and then send it to you. Yeah, yeah, back in the day, it was like $5 for a ringtone. Huh. Good times. Like, I could specifically remember where I was at in the locker room when I got like Bluetooth, crank that soldier boy. Oh, you had a Bluetooth of it.

Nice. Yeah, like everyone has to do that. had razors and yeah like I never had to pay for one who's like let the other guys that Connor and Trevor pay for him right they got rich take your leftovers yeah yeah that was fun man yeah give me some yeah get a little whiff oh tight tight tight tight tight uh I had a ghosty email us I don't remember your name you know what I'm gonna find it it's fun to shout people out already already already already what do you say I said all righty all right already already already R-I-D.

Emily, shout-ed Emily. Last name looks like Fahrenheit. Ferenholes. I have a game for you to play in the podcast. You have to use Google AI specifically, not chat GPT. So Google, so Gemini, I think is what she's referring to, will not admit that it doesn't know a common phrase. So if you ask it, what does this phrase mean?

No matter what the phrase is, it will come up with a random meaning. Okay. She said it's kind of like when you guys made up catch phrases or whatever. Yeah, phony phrases. Yeah. She should try it out. So, Emily, thank you for this. So, yeah, let's think of a phrase.

Or I guess I'll ask it. I have a few on here. The phrase, phony phrases? Yeah. All right. What does the phrase? LeBron James doesn't play in steel-toed boots mean. You already typed that in?

Are you only two? No, type it in. LeBron James. This is one of your phony phrases. I have a list of about 10 of them. LeBron James doesn't play in steel-toed boots. Mean. All right.

Just a sec. The phrase LeBron James doesn't play in steel-toed boots is a witty and pointed remark that addresses the criticism sometimes leveled at athletes. Okay. For their perceived toughness. Here's the breakdown of the meaning. LeBron James, the subject of the phrase. This is quite the, like, sentence tree.

One of the most durable, successful players in history. Steal-toed boots, the type of footwear designed for industrial construction work. The meaning? The phrase is a sarcastic comeback to those who, criticize an athlete for showing signs of pain for a perceived lack of greediness. It's saying, of course he's not just going to shrug off

every single bump and bruise. He's a human being playing in a highly physical sport in a shoe that offers little to no protection. Not a construction worker wearing heavy duty boots. That's exactly right. Yeah. Wow. What does the phrase? All right, we'll do

another one. You got one? Oh yeah, I got plenty. A lot of people still don't know how to pronounce Chipotle. pronounced Chipotle, I mean. All right. It's thinking. The phrase, a lot of people still don't know to pronounce Chipotle, is a humorous observation that plays on a few different cultural and linguistic points. Let's see.

In short, the phrase is a lighthearted way of saying that even with how popular and ubiquitous the restaurant is, the words foreign origin and unusual spelling continue to make its pronunciation a stumbling block let's let's get weird what does the phrase mean let's all come up with this together the angry duck okay good I was gonna have us all say one word out

okay yeah the angry duck never oh okay we're doing that way okay the angry duck never has to bite at night I like that phrase yeah the angry duck never has to bite at night

all right so oh this is talking about a bully's success do you guys know this bully success a person who is constantly aggressive and intimidating during the day in public in business etc

has already achieved their goals or scared off all their rivals by the time night falls and things quiet down they have no reason to be aggressive because they've already won their reputation precedes them yeah that's pretty good it's a beautiful story about a bully's success the angry duck you know it's doing a pretty good job I gotta say

AI is I don't know if I could have come up with one for that yeah yeah I remember one of yours a long time ago is you don't hear noises in the daytime or something about like shadows in the daytime or yeah yeah don't hear noise I don't know. Yeah. You don't hear.

I can't remember exactly what it did mean, but I can't wait to see what it. I think it was just like a creaky house is so much scarier at night. Yes. That's what I was thinking. It was just like, if I hear something drop in the kitchen right now, it's like, ah, whatever. Right. But at 10.30. What was that?

It didn't get it right. At least the meaning, the phrase suggests that when you're busy or distracted, you don't notice the things that are really bothering you. The problems are there, sure. But they are drowned out by the everyday hustle, and you guessed it bustle. Pustle. What about... Does bustle ever go on its own?

Nope. It's like scantily clad. They're always together. Do you ever bustling? Sorry, I just have texted you back. I've been bussling all day. We should try to bustle more. Yeah.

What does bustle by itself mean? Tell you, Zach, I'll give you $600 rent, but you better bustle. Yeah, I'd bustle for it. Yeah, you should. You should make him mow the lawn for it. That's part of his bustle. It's part of the bustle fees. Definition of bustle.

I must not have spelled it right. It's just like hustle. Move in an energetic or noisy manner. Oh, noisy. Hustle and the bustle. So hustle's the work, but bustle might be the noise that comes along with it. Yeah. The racket.

So you would say that farming is more, is not hustle and bustle. It's just hustle. Well, unless you're using a lot of combo. Yeah, I don't know. If you're just like feeding the cows, that's more hustle. Yeah. But if you're out of the combine, that could be, it's just as much hustle as bustle. Is it more just bustle?

Let's be honest. It's sitting there. It's drive themselves. Yeah, that's mainly bustle. Farmers, they got easy these days. Right, Coops? I mean, that's what people have said for centuries. Yeah.

Oh, farmers? Farmers, those guys are lazy. You mean the people with easy jobs? Oh, I don't know if that's who you're talking about. Oh, yeah. Eh, we're just kidding. Steve Coop wished me a happy birthday yesterday, which is not my birthday. And I said, you know, I appreciate that.

Everyone wished me a happy birthday on Wednesday. No one did it on Thursday. Exactly. Thank you. There's something there, Steve. We get it. We're trying to. Did he know it was the day after?

He did not. Great. So now he knows. I was like, it's either 26 to the 28th. I know it's one of those days. And it's not either of those days. So, wait. Yes.

27. Good. Okay. I was like, wait, maybe I'm wrong again. Timon. Yes. Do you have any idea when Timon's is? Yeah.

Yeah. It's March. No. April. It's somewhere around there. You think it's spring? I'm pretty sure. I have, nothing is coming to mind.

It's not October. I remember someone. Is it? Like, Grand debut, someone had to, like, guess it or something like that. They got it. So just think back to that. Oh. It's that simple.

What would the plat man say? The plat man, he always knows. Spring is good with me. We were ready to lock in spring? Spring. Yes. Okay. May?

Yeah. May 17th. Close. May 16. Mid-May. Closer. May 20th. May, I'm sorry, May 12.

May 15th. Yeah. May 15th. That's easy. 5-15-5-1-5-1-5. 5-1-5 right before. What, that's 5-15? May 15th.

All right. May 15th. That's a nice summer day. I like it. The book, Horton Here's a Who, all takes place on that day. Oh, yeah? Or at least, it just starts out like on the 15th of May in the jungle of Newell. It's kind of a funny.

That's a fun fact. Let's have a little Horton here's the Who theme party for old timing on May 15. Yeah, I like that. There's 20th? Yeah, dude. Timmy, did you come to my wedding? No? I didn't think so.

Sorry about that. Were we friends? Did we know each other when I got married? Yeah. Dang. Barely though. No problem. How long we were working?

I was new. I started in like February. Okay, I'd only known you a few months. Yeah. I guess that's fair. It feels wrong now, though. Dang. I watched the video like every.

month you didn't all good something else it was kind of funny the night of my birthday yes I'm just kind of keep bringing it up but we did a double date

with the Bex because we like playing Padell with them yeah Molly played a lot of tennis and Calvin was like all right let's talk about million dollar secret and we're like

what are you talking about he's like dang it dude every time I bring this up no one's heard of it I was like, I like how much you... No idea. Yeah. Okay.

So what's funny is he said he's not on social media. So all he has is Netflix. Oh, he's not on social media. Yeah, so he's like, as far as I'm concerned, it's always on the home screen. He's like, I assumed the whole country was talking about this. He thought this was severance. Yeah. And he's like, oh for 10 talking about people.

But he's so confident every time he brings up. And then in our group text, he's like, hey, we're going to this Colorado trip. We're thinking one night, we do a million-dollar secret. Molly and hosts a million-dollar secret night. And Brad just goes. what are you talking about? And it was the next day after I just told him, dude, no one knows what you're talking about. I honestly, I gave him the benefit of that.

I was like, I'm living under a rock right now, you know. It was nice to you to say that. Sorry, I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, no one's heard of this. Well, because I've seen like people talk about the summer I turned pretty. I don't know anything about that. I've seen people talk about this dragon K-pop, whatever fiasco.

Dude, I was trying to figure out an acronym the other day. I bet it was the summer I turned pretty. It is T-S-I. You get it. the TSI. No way of knowing what the acronym is. People, I mean, yeah, that's in my algorithm a lot

these days. Is it? Like, what is that? Algorithm, maybe like Instagram stories and stuff. It's a TV show of some sort. I'm not sure. Not sure where it is, not sure. I think it's on prime.

I do know that. I haven't seen it. I think my sister watched some of it maybe. Wow. I mean, I'm having a hard enough time getting through that Chiefs documentary. I'm not going to watch this summer. I turn pretty.

I don't know. Most, I can't think of a person that I know that watches it that's not a girl. So I don't know. Steven Swick. Okay, great. I'll tell you that right now. There's one. But I have I have been told to watch it though. So it's like, I don't know.

So I guess if you're out there, please someone out there, post on the Facebook group and tell Calvin you've also seen this. He's going through it right now. He's afraid he's the only guy watching it. I do feel like if it's on Netflix, it's way more likely to be popular than the other streaming platforms. The floor is so high on Netflix.

Like, I just think like if that Chiefs documentary around Netflix, a lot more people be talking about. Maybe the people are talking about, I don't, I haven't seen. We don't know. But he described me, it's basically like mafia, I think. Like one person, instead of being the mafia, they are, they were given a million dollars and have to, like, survive it without being, like, outed that they give a million dollars. So. And if you catch them, do you then maybe you get the million? Yeah, you get part of it or something. But we're talking about doing

that because we got that fun friends weekend coming up, like doing like $1,000 secret or something kind of fun. Okay. Something. Cool. Let's do it. I said every, couple puts in $100 plus two people from Craigslist to make it like an even 10. Okay. They're also part of it. That makes sense. Yeah. Catherine would get into that.

Catherine would get really into that. I'd just be like, I don't know. It's Jake. Just pick Jake. I don't know. I was just voted out. Just vote a mountain scene. Yeah.

Never heard of it, though. I'm glad that I was not alone, though. I thought I was like, the odd man out. Yeah. Are you fine? Hey, you're fine. A few more funny phrases, if you want to know of them real quick. crushed or cubed both make it cold

right crushed or cubed it doesn't matter hey there's more than one way skin and cat kind of thing as bright as a lamp that's been on all night as bright as a lamp that's been on all night

I don't know exactly what that one means what do you think it means exactly I don't know I don't know if it's like if that's super bright or if it's like a little bit dim at this point it doesn't matter it's been all no way I don't think it's losing its brightness.

Google, Jim and I asked about Crush your Cube, both make it cold. It said, for example, two people arguing about the best way to write a report. That's a common thing. Yes. One person insists on using a specific outline. I want to use a specific outline. While the other person prefers to just start writing and organize later. I just want to start writing now and organize it all later.

A third person might interject and say, Crush your Cubed, both make it cold. What? You're right. Thank you. This has been good. As long as the report gets finished on time and is well written, what does it matter how you get there? Exactly.

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. That's exactly right. He's as tall as a drink of cold water. Which is similar to a tall drink of water. Uh-huh. But different.

It's colder. He's as tall as a drink cold water. It's cold. The cold ones are taller. It's like a walrus going to the orthodontist. Because they don't have very many. We're only mainly working on just these two. Yeah, basically, you know, you don't hang up an empty picture frame.

You know, got to have some memories before you, before you display it up on the, up on the decor. Don't celebrate what you haven't done yet. Yeah. I don't know. Scary has a granny on ice skates. Yeah, you're scared for them. Are you?

Are you scared to get knocked down by grand or both? I think I'm scared for them. Yeah. Oh, she's got to fall. Well, Graham, Graham. Careful. Fitted sheets don't need to be folded. People always worry about how to fold a fitted sheet.

What's the point? No one sees that thing. That thing is underneath the made bed. Yeah, it can get wrinkly. It can get wrinkly and no one would know. Literally even you, you're in the dark when you're seeing the fitted sheet. Wow. You can't shave time off without getting on the highway.

And I put, alternatively, the ATA on Google Maps is always correct in town. That's right. Yeah, I went there. That's right. It's true and could never be discerven. What was the Google Maps one? The ETA is always right. The ETA on Google Maps is always correct in town.

Yeah. For most part, that's pretty true. Yeah, that's good. True, yeah. You don't use a coozy with warm drinks. it wouldn't work don't ask brother you just don't

that makes as much sense as a blue stop sign and last but not least fake plants still look good yes they do yes they do yes they do those are my funny phrases

those are good what's the moral of that one like like get plastic surgery Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, yeah, within, yeah, fake implants still look good. Fake implants still look good. I think it's more just like, you know, some things you don't need to, you know, get the best. Waste time on. Yeah, waste time on, put time and investment into because you know what? Sometimes fake plants still look good. Wow.

It's like, hey, don't worry too much about this thing. You don't need a granite countertop. Yeah. Plastic is fine. Plastic's fine. Plastic's fine. Microplastics are. nothing. Just use a wooden cutting board. That's what we're talking. Or whatever the trend is now. Wooden cut. What are, what are crunchy girls doing with cutting boards now? Oh yeah, wood. It is wood. Oh yeah. It's always it's always been wood, maybe. Yeah, because plastic gets in the food. Stain of steel also get in the food maybe. Does it? I don't know. I think there's two out of three are bad.

the livered, peace. What do you guys have going on this weekend? Not much. This weekend, it's kind of a Laylo weekend. Yeah, Laylo Labor Day. Yeah, we're going to do some quilting, so we're going to call it Laylo and Stitch. Good.

Yeah, not doing much. I'm preparing for this South Dakota thing. That's the main thing that is on my mind right now. I feel like we're doing something at some point, but I don't know what it is. Yeah. No Labor Day plans. Just lay low. No Labor Day plans. Honestly, I forgot that it was Labor Day. Early. I was like, I'll pick up that lumber on Monday and they're like,

holiday on Monday. I was like, no, there's not. BFD. I'll see you there. Yeah, what about you? Laylow weekend. Yeah. Laylo and Stitch. Just hanging out. Yeah, if you want to lay low together, let me know. Okay. We, Rachel, Rachel's on a big kick right now. She really wants a motor home. A motorhome? Yeah, just like an RV. Like one that you can drive. yeah probably without a truck like you would just yeah like self self driving love it yeah uh so then we

were like what if we just rented one for the weekend oh yeah and they get you because like there's some app called like RV share yeah it's like $100 a night it's like why don't we do this instead of renting a car and then once you get to the checkout screen it is not a hundred dollars what is what do they get you on uh just like random fees it's like $200 like non-negotiable ownership fee or something like that. And then it's like another $200 and like insurance like you have to pay for. And then another like fee to the company you have to pay. So then $100 a night is actually $500 night. It was $1,000 for a weekend. So would it be, but is it like that money is up front. And then after that it's like every night. The upfront, the deposit, sometimes it's like $3,500.

Okay. Just like just like good standing. Yeah. That's like separate from like what it cost for two nights. So it was fun for like 20 minutes until I got to the checkout screen. Like, oh, we're not doing this. So you think seven days would be $3,500? Yeah, I guess. I mean, maybe it gets a little less over time, but yeah, expensive. And we didn't even have a reason to do this. I was like, we can't drop $1,000. And we don't even have anywhere to go.

We're just staying here. Most of our friends are right out of town. Where are we going to camp? Catherine's really into the idea of RV, like, vacation, too. And I like, I'm always like, that sounds so stressful to drive around in this massive RV. But they have ones that are like mid-sized ones. You can pull behind your truck. Well, no.

not necessarily oh you're talking about class c probably i've been looking into kind of like the size of your bondi truck yeah class a is like tour bus like yes i don't we probably shouldn't drive that i don't want to do that technically we can though i know but do you would you be no that's what i'm saying would that be fun to be like hey let's drive that to yellowstone it's like i would be nervous the entire time yeah i have to think through every turn and every parking oh you accidentally careen a little too far you're careening right into the grass right into the per the gates yeah but The Class C is, yeah, just like a large truck, a large van. Kind of like a U-Haul.

Yeah. I can do that all day. Yeah, that sounds fun. Class C boys. And, yeah, it drives like a truck probably more than like a massive semi. The Class A buses, we're going to get this, you sit all the way at the front. You sit behind in front of the wheels, and people on Reddit were saying, like, that's weird alone just to get used to that. The wheels being underneath you.

I bet. Classy, normal. Normal chassis. Yeah, you're right. You are literally at the very front of the car when you're driving those things. saw some truck drivers saying, hey, once you go class A, though, you never go back. The visibility is insane. I bet.

That's what they're saying. Panorama views. Oh, man. Just even, like, parking that anywhere would be so stressful. No, thanks. Well, maybe Rachel and Catherine should get one. I'm sure they would do just fine with it. I would love to see them, yeah.

Hooking up the, you know, the gray water and, you know, the electric and everything like that. That's what Boe will do. That's Boe's job. Yeah, Greywater and Mouse. Timmy, what are you doing this weekend? Some families coming in town. because Alice is getting baptized. Oh, that would be fun.

I'm excited for that. Cool, yeah. That's about it, though. That's awesome. Yeah, you're just back to normal life. Yeah. Back to living. Yeah.

Just apartment life. Yep. Yeah, it's good. It's good. I'm excited to shoot for Friday stuff this week. Yeah. Yeah. Be back on that grind.

What do you guys think about this? It's the voice, but for pickleball. It's like three of us are like in roly chairs with their back facing the court, and all we're doing is like listening to people play. And then if you, like, hear the right thing that you like, I don't know, they sound kind of frail. They sound old or whatever. It's like, I like it.

Spin around. I like that. Maybe we'll shoot that. Topical. Voice is super popular now. Is it? It's at its biggest. Is it?

Is it actually? No, I have no idea. I've been watching a million dollar secrets. I knew, I know about the voice down. I didn't know what that million dollar thing. That's true. So I was making a joke because the voice has been around for a long time. But it's still popular.

Let's not make the million dollar parody. Let's do the voice. Million dollar secret. Pickleball edition. so that's an option um just quick notes i've seen recently that kill me this is this is like the the speller in me i suppose um i've seen two different really ironic misspellings on businesses recently the first one maybe this one's a like somebody's name but it's it was stellar construction but they spelled stellar wrong s t-e-l-l-e-r instead of a-r that's too bad right yeah

Like, no, we're stellar construction. That one sounds like it could be a last name. Hopefully. Yeah, it's your business. But even if that's your last name, dude, don't spell it that way. It looks like you spelled your business wrong. Correct. Yeah.

And then I also drove past this grooming place for dogs called top notch grooming, but they put a K in front of notch. Top can notch. How does that make sense? I can't think of like the pun that it might be trying to be. I was like, I was like, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe notch, maybe has another meaning. Not top notch.

Nope. Top notch. What in the room? It's like, no, we're top notch. All right. You are not. You are not. No,

you cannot. Yeah. Anyway, it just bothers me. Like, like when they, when they, I mean,

that's just wild. For things like that where it's like, to be excellent, you've gone through some things to get like your logo and your business name. How does that happen?

I know. What's the, and if your last name, if stellar is a last name, if your last name is a common word that's spelled wrong, don't be, don't make that your business name.

Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Sorry. Makes you look dumb. Yeah. I was,

uh, table setters yesterday um Zach who's a ghosty actually it started coming to table setters which cool. Zachary Z-A-C-H-E-R-Y instead of, oh, that's wrong. Do you tell him? I think he knows. And we were all like, oh, that's how, you know, we were trying to like be nice. Like that's, that makes sense. E-R-Y. You never say Zach Ari, you know, whatever. And she's like, he's like, yeah. Just recently my mom kind of admitted like, we just spelled it wrong. We didn't know how to spell it. Wow. Wow. That's kind of crazy. That's.

sad that is sad day you gotta spell your kid's name right you have to or just lean into it be like that was how we just wanted to be different i mean there's a million spellings for a lot of different names out there i've seen a jacob with a k totally it's like that's how we wanted to spell it how we do it yeah instead of just like i don't know typo on the first name that's pretty funny that's cool i saw a funny message in our in the group me session one mattie dear they was like It makes me sad that I'll never be in table setters or something like that. She's like, I wish I was a dad business owner so I could be in table setters. She just loves it.

Sorry, Maddie. She's all in. You can still listen to the podcast. It's good. There's been a few reviews on the podcast app and one of them's like, I think I'm going to quit my job to start a business because of this podcast. Let's go. Cool. I hope it's good.

I hope it goes well for you. But it's awesome. It's inspiring. I had some good conversations with Gosses on the Goodway about like, hey, thinking about doing this, what do you think? You know, like you're out quitting this to do this. Yeah. It's fun.

We're always telling people. Quit your job. I think I yelled that one time, way back in the day. Quit your job. Get a shuttle bus. Sell things out of it. Yeah. It's going to be awesome.

So, anyway, top notch. Top notch. I'm going to go to Spotify comments because that's where I like my comments these days. Yeah, boy. Give me a sec. You do that. I'll do YouTube then. How about?

I'm pulling that up kind of fun looks like we just this just went live right now let me show off on my big 50 in the screen new paddle just dropped and you can imagine Scott is pretty excited

That's so good. A lot of good comments on the session one episode from last Monday. A lot of good ones about just people like, I have to make it to this next year. I will make it to this eventually. You got to. But Braden Parsons says, like this comment if you think Mariah deserves better than Isaac. That was for Braden. Yeah.

Dude, I saw that comment And I was like, that's kind of mean? Oh, that's great. That girl, the Mariah girl, texted me two nights ago. So it popped up on the car. And I was like, Rachel, this is the girl who, Raiden and Isaac were both going after the same time.

And she's like, what's it going to be? I was like, could be a birthday text. Could be. She listened to the episode. Let's see. And then she texted me and said, how do you know Logan Cleaver? I was like, there was a third.

guy in the mix. Logan's pretty, she likes tall guys. She likes the tall guys. She digs the tall guys. So everybody's getting the piece. Cleave. She wants a little bit of,

she wants to leave and cleave. Break me off a piece of that. Logan, Cleave. Football cream. That's, Braden. You're great, man.

Wow. It's fun to hang out with him. He was a great addition. Yes, he was. Because he was not afraid to say weird stuff that made him the butt of the joke the rest of the week.

It's nice to have a guy like that. I'm trying to remember any time we've made any jokes about him. Some of those stuff he said, I don't even want to say on the podcast. Oh, there's certain things that are like, these stay in Gulf Shores. Like the Tia quote, stays in Gulf Shores. Better stay in Gulf Shores.

Most of the stuff, Brayton said. 10% versus 100% stays in Gets. Staying Shows for us. Yeah. This part of the body. Stays in Gold Shores. Yeah. Great time.

Went to the week. Unless, Tyman, anything on your heart? Someone said they switched to YouTube for Timon. Come on. so thanks thank you what's going with the bottom of your cat's like the forearm area this uh when i got the cast on it's been still very recent like i put it on a plastic thing to not get on my clothes when it while it was drying like they gave me a plastic thingy and a bunch of it stuck to it i'm picking at it i've been wow it looks like your cast has a bit of ligo i kind of i don't know what that means

but i believe you you got people sign it i don't know i had that thought like once i chose black i was like well it kind of could have been fun for people to sign it they probably still could with not a black marker? I don't know. Do you do a fundraiser? We side it and then, you know, give it to the highest bidder. Betel Ligo. Oh, are you a T-H-guy when you say clothes?

Time and hit the T-H pretty hard. Wait, when I say what? C-L-O-T-H-E-S. Clothes? Did I say clothes? Clothes? I think I just go, I say it like clothes. I think I do, too.

When did I just, oh, not get on my clothes. Yeah, I definitely say clothes. You hit that, TH. You hammer that T. You say it close? Yeah. Huh. I say it the same as C-L-O-S-A. Right. Yeah, you probably do. You do. I mean, yeah, it's not wrong. I just, I just thought that people never say it that way. Here's a question. How much is the L in folks supposed to be like, how much do we address it? How much do we acknowledge that he's there? I'm zero. I'm F-O-K-E-S. Yeah, I ignore the L. Folks. Yeah, I seem to toss it in there and people kind of make comments.

Folks. I think I like it. I don't know. That's kind of Southern of you, though. Maybe it is. Nice folks. This is a nice folks. Yeah, I'll throw it in there and people, normally say it back to you, go, hmm, folks. I go, yeah. I will say, though, F-O-L-K-Y, folk-y, I do get a little L in there. Ooh, do I hear a banjo in there?

It's kind of fulky. It's not foky. Foky. No, it's not foky. You can pick and choose. It's low-key, fokey. I could see myself be more likely to put the L in when I'm talking about folk, folk music. Folk music.

But folks. Rather than like, folks is weird. It's weird. You're right. I agree with all that. Interesting. Some nice folks. Do the folk,

folky pokey. You do the fokie pokey. Nice folks. Win of the week. My win of the week is just Jesse and Alvro coming through for new phones. Technology, man.

It's awesome. Yeah. My kids kept being like, so this is your new phone? Why do you have another new phone? Like they're just so confused. I'm like, Rosie, just be cool. Go get open on the trampoline.

Honestly. I'm open. I'm open. Thank you, Albro and Jesse. And the whole ghosty community for coming. It was so fun to have everybody come. I think my win still is just having played pickleball again. Wow.

I don't know. I just can't have to think of it. It was so fun. I'm so glad I can. Was it most fun with me? Yeah. Cool. You guys were fun together.

That's fun. Look like you guys are having a lot fun. Like that court, you know, you're always looking like, man, they're laughing over there. We lost that game, but we won that game. It was well, like, it was a good match. It was a good match. It was a good competition.

It was a good competition. Yeah. Tommy, if you still got the itch after we do this and shoot the video, there's a, that pickleball club is opening in a lathe right by where you live. Whoa. They're doing the soft opening today. They've invited Friday pickleball to be there.

What's it called? I like the sound of the piece. Ace. Yeah, I think it starts at noon. We're going to be a little late, but we can go play if you want to after this, potentially. Cool. My win of the week, speaking of pickleball, one of our sponsored junior pros,

Jada, she got asked to be on like the, to represent the United States for this, like, world cup of pickleball thing. but they're not like paying for it so it was going to be pretty costly and so her dad texted us hey jada got invited to do this we're trying to raise money and so then we put together like a one hour sale where like our fevers are discounted and like a percentage of the sales we make in that hour all going to jada and so we were able to raise like $1,500 for jada like this week and just it's just fun you know we're all kind of doing stuff together where's the World Cup i don't know i want to say straff or

Everyone's coming to Stratford, I think. It's somewhere in South West Missouri. Yeah, Southwest Missouri. No, actually don't remember. Stratford or Fair. Rio de Janeiro. Ah, I get those confused. I did get some nice Southwest Missouri driving time in on the way home.

You know, I did not appreciate the Ozarks when I live there. Really? Ozarks are pretty. But if that's all you know. Yeah, it's like that. It's true. Went down through Mansfield. They ate them in baseball.

They had a nice field. I don't want to admit this because, you know, I hate on Missouri so easily, but I crossed over from Arkansas into Missouri and shortly after stopped it to Dairy Queen. I'm not, I'm not exaggerating. Every single person there was incredibly pleasant, like was so nice, so kind, so like patrons and workers. It was like, this is a Dairy Queen. And we're like that happy to be here at like 430 in the afternoon. I was like, I couldn't believe it. So it's fun when you find a little pocket like that, like a small town dairy queen or just like you just hit this gas station that it's like everyone's in a phenomenal mood in here it was awesome we're all in the waiting room of discount tire but we're having a good time together

yeah i don't know what city that was in somebody could find it was not far away from the border but it was in missouri for sure huh beautiful area wow maybe maybe maybe great place one that's just random story that came to mind i one i'm a dingus because i went through the Starbucks drive-thru on my birthday. It didn't even think to get a coffee. I was, like, going to get Rachel a coffee and drop it off for her. Oh, bud. Oh, forgot the birthday.

No. You know, they have something called a trit. I don't know if it's a trainty or a, they have like a 30 ounce. I thought someone was messing with me. No, no, they're not. Hey, ice macchiato and this, please. Yes, please. Yes, dude.

Only on my birthday is the one time I've ever gotten that. You can get that? It's massive. It just looks like a. Vinti, but just a little bit taller and a little bit wider. It's awesome. This feels like what Panera got sued for. And they're just like, yeah, your birthday, anything goes.

In Starbucks, though, it's just mostly milk and sugar and a little bit of coffee either way. That's true. Wow, Trinthe. I don't know if it's Trinty or, look it up, Trenthe. Trenthe? Enseniamos those trintes. And I don't know, Trinty.

Anyway, you're at Starbucks. Yeah, it didn't dawn on me till later there. I was like, wait, it was my birthday. Dang it. Trenta. Trinta. Trenta. Trenta.

But the guy who handed me my coffee, so I was just going to surprise Rachel with it at school. He just goes, here's your coffee in. Jake Triplett. I was like, whoa, full name. Yeah. And it was really fun. I don't know what he knows me from.

He didn't really elaborate. He's like, I thought that was you. I go, it is me. What's your name? Corbin. Well, nice to meet you, Corbin. Yeah. It's a pleasant time.

Yeah. You don't get the last names of Brof him. Jake Triplett. A lot of times you get, yeah, Friday guy. Do you do stuff with Terry Kennedy? I do. Terry Kennedy. Yes.

So that's great. That was fun. That was a good birthday. It was my birthday this past week. I don't know what I mentioned. Happy birthday. Thank you, thank you, buds.

Thank you, buds. I was at church the other day and just hanging out. I don't know if I should. Did I do the right thing or the wrong thing? I was hearing out. Permission to be misogianistic granted. Please. I was hanging out with Henry while the other three kids were out of Juana.

and been hanging out for like an hour plus at the church. And then it was like it was like time to go pick them up like 7.58 pick them up at eight. So it's like, all right, Henry, let's go. And as I'm like leaving, I hear these two guys surely intentionally go. Yeah, so what do you like about the Ghostrunners podcast? And I'm like within earshot. Now, this is interesting. And I'm like, are you trying like, I acknowledge it.

I was like, yeah, good podcast. like just like but they didn't seem like they really would definitely talk to me because they could have had the opportunity the last hour is that what you're saying well I don't know if they were I didn't pay attention to how long they were standing out there I don't think they were staying out there it was like you said that and they weren't just like oh my gosh like yeah dude yeah we were just yeah whatever I I don't know but I was like did I handle that well should I have like been more intentional with them of like let me go let me go up to them I don't know but I had my one year old with me and so I'm like I don't know if they're expecting me to I don't know but it was like

it felt like they were like yeah this guy right here does the ghost road podcast oh okay let's say something about the ghost road says something but I don't know so if you're listening to this that was you let me know but we'll talk next time I see it at church it's fun fun job we have where we get to navigate all these little scenarios yeah this guy claims he knows me from church and it's he memorized his every Instagram picture he's ever seen Navarro you mean Alvaro yeah gave my buddy a cell phone Nice guy. I gave my buddy a cell phone.

Yeah, I gave my butto a little cell phone. That's funny, though. Yeah. All right. Great. So, Timon's back. I'm back.

I'm back. I'm back. I'm so freaking back. I'm glad to be freaking back. Are you going to play fantasy football at Simon? I don't know. I didn't, it wasn't like anything crazy last year.

It wasn't crazy. Up to you? I could be convinced. I don't think you have to. Well, demand is high. Demand is high. So I'm not going to beg you. That makes sense.

No, someone else wants it way more. me. You guys get in there. Get Patreon. Do it. Thank goodness. Actually, you lasted kind of a while last year. I feel like. I can't remember. Maybe that means I don't have to come back because I can't remember how well I did. I told Ortencia, you know, we were in town in Branson and I called her one time, like talking about logistics for Gold Shores. I was there. It's like, yeah, I'm in town with some of the camp guys for, if you heard of fancy football, she's like, no, I don't know what that is. I tried to explain it to her. She definitely didn't understand. And then later, she's like, yeah, you were Justin Branson for your, what do you call it?

The dream, the dream of the football? It's like, fancy football. And then later, I think she was talking again, she's like, oh, yeah, and you have that fancy, fancy football thing? I was like, close. Fancy football is funny. Maybe we should get Ortencea to play. I have a fancy football draft.

Yeah. And I would choose that one. It's a fancy football. Yeah, we'll get Orton's in there. I gave her some things to keep, or not to keep, but to hang on to because she said that you're coming to Branson soon. Is that accurate? I probably said that, but I don't have any plans. I didn't think you had any plans. I was like, oh, okay. What is it? Just like the, the poster, you know, and maybe a couple other little things like that. There was like kind of hard to fly with.

And she's like, well, saying how I'm doing. Brad say he's coming through. I was like, great. I mean, I did say like, I'm going to see you soon. Like, yeah. That's just one of those things you want to say to people because you're like, I don't want it to be like, I'll probably won't see you again for a while. It's like, and if nothing else. I'll be back soon. Yeah, this makes her have to come next year. Sorry, you have the thing we hang up. You have the thing. There's no way of us getting it otherwise. You got to come. It's true. Man, I can't wait for next year. So close. Me neither. Mark your cows. Mark your eye cows. And we will see you guys on Monday. Love you guys. Booker and podcast.
