All right. Hey, hey, clap it up. Hey. Clap it up. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we just learned that Tyman's been manually syncing the video and audio as best you can by trying to find a P sound. So then we thought it would just be easier to clap. Yep. Just give them 13 claps in a row. Hey, let's go.

Sync one of those. Sink one of those. It's going to be a good Monday. I was in our friend Kyle, friend of the. the show Kyle Kazuda that pickleball guy I was on his YouTube channel for a video okay and everyone is saying extremely nice things about me as a guest over there and one specifically got my attention so I sent it to Rachel uh his comment says Jake has a 4.8 duper that's nothing compared to his 7.0 wife she is breathtakingly gorgeous all right so I sent that to rachel's like go check this

out yeah and she was like look at that username oh mr panthers 23 has to be the creepy laundry guy that got fired from you and I for being a creep. No, Mr. Panthers! I didn't even like... What have I done? I think to look at the username. Rachel, that girl, 7.0.

She can play D1 if you know what I mean. Oh, once she turns around, 8.5. Oh, baby. You could tell, you could tell she's been in that kitchen for more than just eating. I couldn't believe. I mean, maybe it's a quintar.

Either way, it's hilarious. Oh, yeah. That girl right there, she knows how to set of volleyball, if you know what I mean. Like he is like, Rachel is like, yeah, this guy, total creep. Like he's been blocked on multiple Instagram accounts. Like, 23 is probably the 23rd account he's had. Listen, they're all the same. They're all the same.

I just, I'm a big fan of Michael Jordan. He's the goat. I'm the go to checking out young women, all right? I'm looking for talent. I'm looking for talent. I'm not talking about her beauty. I'm talking about how breathtaking her game is, right? A lot of volleyball fans probably like to sit on the side, not me.

I like to sit at the end, at the goal post. Right there, right there, right there in the action. And when they switch sides? You'd be surprised. I switch sides with them. I get, yes, I need it. I need that vantage point. Mr. Panther 23, follow me.

That's amazing. On Instagram, where, where? This is a YouTube comment. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even. think to look at the username, and yeah, just happens to be, if you're not catching out, Rachel's college, they were named the Panthers.

Let's do this, Panthers. Everyone touched hands. Hit the showers. Let's do this, Panthers. Golly, dude. Jake's like, Rachel, you're not going to guess. He said breathtakingly gorgeous. And then there's a couple, like,

I don't even know. Weird emoji. He must be a gardener. Grows vegetables. Oh, yeah, why do you do eggplant and peach? Oh, he's just like, He loves to eat healthy. He's a healthy guy, yeah.

Mr. Panthers 23, so anyway, that's funny. Hey, sync up the show. Got to be a good one. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white meat too. Then West best friends eating fast food on repeat.

So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because it's a Ghostrofts podcast. No. Ghostrunner podcast. Everybody in morning, you're taking around. Ghosts podcast. we're feeling good that's too good man

which one of the um gulf shores sessions were we big on clapping was it session two i'm gonna be honest i don't know if i was in on the inside joke of the clapping no you were there oh you were in gulf shore i know yeah maybe i know what you're talking about you're just to get their attention it's like hey everyone real quick yeah i think it was more for session one it was just an easy like you start clapping it i was start clapping i was trying to to lose my voice. So it was just like, all right. All right. Yeah. And the great thing is everyone joined in. Yeah. I don't know if this would work in like classroom management. Maybe like high school teachers. Try this. You're having trouble getting them to calm down. Just start clapping.

Next thing you know, everyone's laughing and tickling and clapping along and you're having a good time and then they're quiet. Yeah. Instead of the whole, if you hear me clap once kind of thing. Wow. I forgot about that. My aunt, Cindy, still does that at family gatherings every once in a while. Oh, how big is the crew? Large, 40 plus, probably. But even then, it's like, come on. I don't always clap, Aunt Cindy. I'll be honest.

Sometimes I try to do it to, like, show the kids. Like, hey, this is how we respond to Cindy. Dude, I, Tyman, when you what, well, you didn't watch movies as a kid, so I don't know if this is going to apply to you or not. I watched a couple. Okay. Once in a while. When you watched, were your parents there?

When you watch Buttercream Gang. Yeah, yeah, when you watched a movie as a kid, I feel like right now I'm at the stage and Catherine kind of like rolls her eyes and looks at me funny, but I'm like reacting the way that I think the movie wants you to react out loud to like teach the kids how to react. I thought he was a good guy. Like, oh my gosh, he doesn't understand what's going on in this part. Dude, I feel like that's what rubbed off on Hattie to be like, Moses is such a trouble. Yeah, maybe, honestly.

That's probably what that is from. That's so funny. Oh, my gosh. Express how you are feeling about the character. They only have a few more seconds to get away. it's coming quick you know that's something i kind of got from my dad just like when you clearly know the main character is not going to die early but you're like boy i don't know how he's going to get out of this one oh boy i don't think this movie's going to last very long yeah this one's over how's he

get out of this yeah surely the coal mine it's fallen busted on him homer get out of there homer what's the verb the collapsed not busted no it busted down oh do you tear down that coal mine yeah bad news oh No, another mind busted. Yep. There's third mind bust this week. There's mind sweeper and there's mind buster. For the compact. Oh, I love playing solitaire mind buster.

Oh, man. I always tell Rachel that she, I wish the director of the movie could see her watching movie for the first time. She's reacting how they want them to. Yeah. It's like severance, just like, you're kidding. He's got a tough decision on his hands. I don't know which, yeah, he's looking at both doors.

Which one's you going to choose? Which girl? You know, all this stuff. Even just seeing her get into fantasy football a little bit. I mean, I've seen the hands, the arms go above the head. Yeah. It's like, Josh Allen, please just run for a first down. I need you to run for a first down here.

Dude, let's get into fantasy football. Stressful week for mind buster. Tell us about your experience, buddy. So you got out 18 teams, which means, I mean, around what, 8% chance that we get chopped. Chopped last week, chopped this week. Yeah. And one point away from getting double chop. Double-chop.

Never has it happened because we're the only people in both leagues. And my gosh, you were closer than you should have, you could have ever been to being double-choped. Yeah. I mean, I'm a little hesitant to say things like, I'm pretty good at fantasy football because it's a lot of luck. I mean, you don't really know what's going to happen. But the guillotine league in your history of, what, five years now, you've been in the top half. Yeah. Most of the time.

Yeah. I think I won one year. Yeah, it's like I expect to finish towards the top. not to double chop see i was i was dead last in one of the leagues by a mile and this does happen every year at the beginning if your quarterback gets hurt you're probably out it's it's a big deal and that was that was me my first round draft big joe burrow which that's what i get for drafting a dork yep that's right he's got to get injured in the first quarter i could have told you dorkey yeah like a cool guy maybe wait till the halfway through the third to go down yeah baker mayfield would

Make him make you grits it out. Jalen Hertz would do that. Joe Burrow, first quarter, dork. See you. Daniel Jones, that guy, you know, barely making it from, you know, the half huddle. Yet somehow, ball on this year. I know he is. Save it for all-time quarterback.

All-time quarterback. But, yeah, so I go down hard in one league, and then next thing you know, you're doing the math here, and you're like, I may not make it out of this other league. And my quarterback's healthy in that one. I have nothing to blame it on, other than just poor performance. yeah and so yeah i don't like that the NFL does this but they did two monday night games and didn't really stagger them it was like seven o'clock six 30 game nine p.m. game something like that so it's just me out on the couch by myself just stressing stressing for 30 minutes about

what's going to happen i went to bed and i was like this game's i'm close to over but i guarantee you jake staying awake for the whole thing and part of me didn't want to i was like i got a lot to do this week i it's it's important for me to get some sleep but i was like this is kind of why you play fantasy football though i it's not even real stress it's like it's kind of fun to just be like wow so much of like you know all i got to do is just survive and then what happens and it's it's it's my running back versus their kicker right i should have this like and i did not have it went like they have like percentages and like jason the guy that got out jason rumble shout out he had like a 10% chance or something like that the beginning of the game and then it kept like going up like 15% 20%

And I'm like, dude, I think Jake might be in trouble here. First play of the game, the Raiders threw an interception charters basically just get a field goal to start the game. So that's when the percentages are way up. Yeah, just the game flow was not looking good for a running back. And then, yeah, I don't know, totally rehatch it, but just these turnovers. And then, oh, my gosh, you're going to be in field goal range. Oh, but he got this first out. So there's going to kneel it.

Oh, thank God. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I logged on, yeah, the next day and saw the, I was just going crazy on the points. And I was like, oh, my gosh, Jake probably had so much fun watching that. I'm freaking out. There were like two other people in our fantasy league. They were also awake with me.

Yeah. So we were kind of messaging. But yeah, I was just letting them have all my stream of consciousness thoughts. So good. At one point, in all caps, they said,

Najee Harris, I'm buying your jersey. And he's not even on my team. He just allowed me for them not to kick a field goal. Right. Yeah, stress a little weak, but it's all good.

I got one team to focus on. That's right. Plus your pickleball league. Plus my pickleball league. Yes. So where me and the disc golf player. And are you playing with Rachel's family? And Rachel's family. Now, that app is a different app at the very end of my phone. And so sometimes I forget about that because it's not on my

home screen. You want to play a game? Yes. Let's play a game. Let's try to guess each other's apps on our home screen. You just gave away one of yours. But I had a, I had an idea for a game about phone apps this week as well. Oh my gosh. I'd like to enter a competition. There'd be some people could be better at me. But the competition is how many apps can you delete on your phone right now that in no way change your life or routine? Oh, Jesse Platiner would win that. Because you have phone. Do you remember that, dude? I had his phone. And I was like, hey, everyone, guess how many apps Jesse has on us? That's right. And they were all on there. It wasn't like I'm a big folders or offloaded, you know, off long. There was a few folders, but I'm a big removed from

home screen guy. Like, so I only have 16 apps and then the rest of them I just search for. Does that makes sense? Yeah, that's great. I mean, I'm searching for most of them anyway. Yeah, exactly. I bet I think I counted Jesse had like 250 apps. Dang. Okay, so Jesse comes at first. It was unbelievable. I just, I don't like to delete things. And I get this from my mom because she's never thrown anything away in her life. But like, I like to keep all my text. I keep all my photos. And I keep all my apps. All right. So the game is tiny wings. Well, we'll like, basically, you know how like you can be like, I can eat this pizza in four bites. And somebody like I can eat that pizza in three bites. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what if it's like, I can guess.

Okay. Like, so I have 16 apps on my home screen. That's it. Uh, so you, well, I guess I have 20. That's not true. Yeah, I have, I have four down the low. Um, I can guess seven of Tyman's apps on his home screen. So what are we to find? So, all right. Let's go. Home screen is the first one, like just, yeah, first page. Okay. Like, can I so my first page is, well, whoa, well, careful. Okay. My second page is way more things I use. You widgey?

Okay. Whoa, really? My second page. Did Midge teach you how to whitch? She taught me how to whitch. Down on the ridge. You should see Midge Widge. Oh, dude.

I got to look at it. I have seen her just slightly, a smidge of midwidge. Haven't I? I'm trying to think. Oh, and she has that little pet bird, a little Pidge. That's how you know it's Midge. That's how you know. Midge's got the Pidge, you know it's Midge.

Midge with the Pidge. Yeah, I think so. Viewer phone? Well, if you text a Widge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like, I think my phone, when I open it most of the time, it's like on the second one, because that's what I use. I remember when I saw Midge, it was when I, we were watching Desmond Doss, Hacksaw Ridge. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. Yeah. I remember now. All right, so. And then afterwards, we went over a bridge. And then we threw something, I can't, I'm not going to say what it is, but we just threw it in the ditch. All right, go ahead. So here, so this would be like a contest between you and I for Time's phone and then we could do it for each other.

Sure. And you and I compete over my, my phone. That's wild that Timon's first page does not have his main apps. The Time and Onion continues to get peeled. So every single time you scroll over one, it's like a, it's like a habit. Or do you? I mean, this is over. We got to see Timon's.

It's home screen. Yeah. And it better just be one giant Bible verse. Yeah. You better have the Bible widget on there. Or else Mid didn't teach you anything about religion. Relidge. That's good.

That's good. Oh, my. Man, is she a part of your life at all? Have you seen her since the first play? We ever saw you do. The great question. I think at a grad party. Once.

Graduates. Gridge. She did. Yeah. She moved off to college and. Oh! Hasn't been the same. College.

She had a cold drinks? Yes. In her dorm? Uh-huh. Mini fridge. Where'd she go to college? Calvin, it's, uh, Calvin's place. Coolidge.

Nice. Yeah. Up north. Calvin, Calvin, Calvin spot. Yeah. It's not even in college. Um, all right. So we're trying to guess timon's random.

Do you want to guess my initial page? Or maybe we should. It might reveal the rest of our, our guesses if we, so that's what my point was like, we can either guess seven of timons or timing could be like, I guess eight of brads or, and I guess nine of jakes.

Oh. And we get until something like, I don't know. Yeah, who do I think? Dude, apps are crazy. I think you find out, we're going to find out a lot about someone right here. I think where are these apps. pretty, I don't know. I bet I can get eight of Brad's. Yeah, I mean, you have 16 or 20? I've

20. I bet I can get eight of Brad's 20. Yeah, I think you can't do. I think I go nine of yours, Jake. Okay. I think I feel pretty confident. And I should throw in my estimates from both of you guys, right? Yeah, maybe we should like, whoever you should help me. We should like collaborate. I'm fine with just like helping you work towards your goal. I can be your little. I try to get 10 of mine. Okay. Or nine, whatever he said. All right.

All right. And let's say one strike. I will say iPhone Pro Max, you got, you got 20, one, two, three, four, seven, seven, you got 28 options. Oh, time. Oh, not bad. All right. All right. All right.

Let's go, let's go ten for ten then. If we don't, we do push-ups on this table. I don't even think my feet could fit. What do you think of first? Just like basic utilities. I think so. I think we go photo. Okay.

Yeah. I want you to say the guesses. You do? Because you don't want to do the push-ups. We're going to put my, I'm going to screenshot my home screen right now. It's going to be on the screen. You guys can play along.

Send it to us real quick. All right. Well, let's go, no, let's go even more safe than that. Let's go messages. Yeah.

Messages. One down. Ding, ding, ding. All right. Next, I really like. I like camera, but you can. I like camera too. Camera was my first thought.

Yeah. Camera. Ding, ding, ding. Let's go. let's go Spotify I'm happy with Spotify yeah Spotify ding ding ding ding he's got 28 dude we got we're gonna be fine chilling phone yeah surely um do I mean do we go social already or like social media you don't want to go phone yeah you you dodging the phone I'm going phone I'm going phone oh phone phone ding ding ding ding ding time it's like yeah that's what we're talking about

oh dude so like my generation just calls the whole thing phone so like I was like I was like no I'm with you yeah we're trying to guess this phone I get the game dude yeah I think I think uh let's let's continue on the the utilities thing a little bit longer let's go notes surely I'm well unless he's not a notes guy see I like I can't compare it to mine because I think mine's weird yeah I can't wait to see time and I actually don't want to reveal that much about mine because spoil it you don't have notes well I'm just worried about notes I don't know for some reason because there's like other note taking at oh ever know

I'm going notes go for notes yeah he's got 28 on there so we're for five for five that's true he's got so many apps on there all right and then we gotta go chat gpti yeah that's got to chat

he's a chat for real not on the homepage oh why do we start with that my bad yeah there's so many others you got to go before chat gt okay Instagram

ding ding ding ding Facebook ding ding ding ding ding We think TikTok over chat GPT? I think TikTok, since the other, since Instagram and Facebook are on there. Yeah, okay. Yeah.

TikTok, ding, ding. He might be the kind of got like a whole row just, he has to have all four of them, you know, has to have social media on all four. All over the place. Twitter. Yep. Or, sorry, X.

Thank you. Twitter. X, yes. And, what was I thinking when I heard? Did we ever guess photos? Because I feel like the gallery. I think we did guess that.

Did we? We did not have. It's on there, yeah. I'm so sorry. Ding, ding, ding photos is on there. Google Maps. Yeah. Can Google Drive?

Throw any guests for Google Drive? If Maps is on there? No, that's actually way less. It feels a little bit more of a utility, but he uses it all the time. I don't love it. Okay. Yeah. The 28th is so many.

So what else is he doing on there? Holy Bible. What's on there? We're talking, you version. Tesla. Tesla app. Yes. Good job.

you version app no wow put it with my AI wow Amazon no really why you say no like that I don't know shopping homepage you're on Amazon all the time homepages for making money not spending money

TikTok Instagram oh YouTube studio YouTube yeah both ding ding ding and ding YouTube studio and YouTube all right home screens for making money settings of course settings I was

Worried about settings, dude. Some people I could say not. Old. Who knows what midge's whidge over here, you got? Midge, midge. Yeah, I don't know. I think beyond that, I'm a little bit.

I think he's got some kind of browser, but I don't know what browser. He sometimes, he used to be a Google app guy. Go Chrome. Chrome. Chrome. Chrome. You got Gmail on there.

There you go. I was going to say. Got to have G. Got to have the G. Calendar. Which one? Whoa. Do we know?

do we he's a he's like google calendar guy but oh i don't know jake's not a big calendar guy but i think he would have google calendar because i feel like jake's good at keeping a mental calendar i feel like i've noticed that yeah thank you if it's going to be front page but he's still going to have to access zoom you know google meets and stuff like that's true that's true but you can do that on the gmail app i'm okay with you guessing calendar thanks calendar is on there good job regular calendar not regular calendar do not use google calendar yes I think that's about all I, all I can think of just off the, off the dizzy. Yeah, you got all the obvious ones.

Time when it was right. Google Drive is on there. Okay. The app store. App store over Amazon. Yeah. Okay. Uh, we got to have a weather app.

Yeah, which one though? That was. Yeah, it's not worth guessing. Yeah. Or you're a weather bug guy. I go acue weather. No real reason. There's a lot of pop-up ads.

I don't enjoy it. Yeah. But it's on my home screen. What's the one that's like just obnoxiously inappropriate? it like this one feels like you're sweating you're off oh geez i didn't know about that i don't know if it's that ridiculous but it's like it like tries to have humor with like it's going to feel like you're freezing huh i don't know the red light district weather at yeah Amsterdam huh um uh we missed google docs i'm in there a lot nice so your docs and drive

docks and drive doxen um no sheets not using that one as much i was gonna say sheets is on the second page with the Bible and with AI. Makes sense. ESPN app. Really? I don't like the ESPN app at all. ESPN doesn't do a lot of things well. I use, I use Google for my sports updates. Okay. I'll think about it. Just look up Tampa Bay Buccaneers on there. You'll be just fine. And then the reason that started all of this, fantasy football. Of course. Sleeper. Sleeper. Not bad. All right, Tyler. Let's hear your whack. What the heck do you have going on? I you want the number of apps on there is this is your your home screen are you one of those guys that like which one is a certain amount of apps based on the background picture like

so you can see the background yeah do they like kind of frame I'm not that type of guy it sounds kind of fun though I do you want which do you want do you want the first screen or the second one I would call a little bit more personalized or more personal I'm curious about the no home screen okay I think it's like a very vague rundown of kind of the setup and let's try and guess what's on there. I'd just say it's a lot more basic. Because no matter what, though, every single time you open up your phone, it defaults to the first screen, correct? Like, if you lock your phone on second screen, does it come back on second? I don't know. Mine does. Really? Yeah. Just try it. I'm a one screen guy. Huh. Yeah, I will, yeah, first, the real homepage, a lot more basic, if that helps.

Okay, a lot more basic. So, so do you want to guess? I think he's got to be whinging. He has to be. I think time in likes a nice aesthetic. I haven't seen like his desktop on his laptop, but I bet it's clean. Yeah. I just don't know that much about the whitches. Like two came with my phone and I've just kept them up there. But every once in a while they change.

I haven't messed with them to even try to change them. What would Timmy be whitching about? Like a fun. No, you don't need a fun clock. Verse of the day. Calendar whidge. Weather whitch. Like a photo, like a.

Photos Widge would be fun. Photos Widge is fun. I have that on the iPad somehow. Yeah, the iPad, it comes with it on the iPad. Yeah, okay. Are you guessing? I don't know what we're guessing. You can guess OG home or.

We're guessing OG home. Great. Great. We're guessing Widge is on the home. So really on your home screen, well, you've got the dock. Let's try and guess time it's dock. Yeah, dude. What's on your dog?

Got to be Spotify messages. Spotify messages I feel good about. Ding ding. Uh, eh, thing. No Spotify. No Spotify? Really. How many?

You got four on the dock? Yeah. Can you have? I guess you can have less than that. I think you have less. What else are you docking? Is it email? Yeah, email.

You care that much about social media that's docked? My gosh. I'm not taking a guess why don't you? This generation, dude. Time has been bricked as of two days. Would a bricked guy dock? Would a bricked guy dock? Would a brick's guide dock?

Yes. Instagram. Maybe. Be real. This is pre-doct. All right. No be real. Chrome.

Got it. Oh, what's your deal, dude? What's your problem? In real peeved off. Yeah, I am starting to get mad. Starting with doc really limits yourself. But I suspect those are the, like you said, no matter where I go, I've always got, I've had this doc.

Fill in the blank for Spotify. Yeah. Oh, a coat. Oh, no, no, like Todd. Oh, okay. Sorry. Time and that. Apprella app.

I thought it was like an analogy. Like, you've got to bring your umbrella with you just in case it rains. No matter where I end up. Where am I? Where am I? Oh, thank goodness I have. The app store. Settings.

No, neither. Where am I? Google Maps. No, I've had this same doc for the entirety of the time I've ever had a phone. Whoa. Safari. Phone, phone, phone, phone. Oh, phone.

There we go. Phone. Okay, and there was one more. Two more. Two more. Two more. My God. Messages and phone.

But he said it's front of this area. Phone and messages and there's two more. Photos, photos, photos. Where am I? Where I am I? Photos doc. Think about the things he's had since he was 12. It rhymes.

Clock doc. Clock, doc. No clock. Docs, no. Docs, Google Docs. No, no. It's from the beginning. It may not rhyme.

I think it might be an app. Notes. No. No. No. No, Doc. Calder? Oh, camera dock.

Yes. Camera doc. He's a creator. A camera dock is wild, dude. You can get the camera so many easy ways besides just having it on the dock. Is that self-absorbed much? That's not wild. You don't think?

I think that's so normal. I think. Ghosties? Yeah, wait. Let's get personal. Show us your docks. I want to see your docks.

I want to know how many people are throwing camera in the dock. Is that really not normal? Interesting. Because I, like, yeah, you can get to it from your lock screen. But then once you're in,

that's the quickest way I can think of to like quick get to your camera. Man, you can literally just go two inches up and it's right there. So I remember I say, I start thinking this way. I'm like, all right, there's got to be a more efficient way to organize all this.

And then I think, I can get to everything I need so quickly. Like, even if I am at the very end, you just swipe up and you're... That's why I'm a big fan of the scroll down and just search it. Yep, that's what I do for so many. Oh, yeah, I search a lot of. So many. This has been good talk.

Good dog talk. Yeah. All right. Yeah, yeah. Clap it up. Clap it up. Big time. Big time announcement here.

We got a new sponsor on here. Come on, pop. Time it. Turn up that sound effect. Volume. Bap, bam, bam, bam, bam. That's right. I'm sure you've heard of them.

It's sweeping the nation right now. I think neighbor, I guess he talked about it in his Emmys model. Newsweek is thinking about doing an article. Correct. A sharper image might put it in their pamphlets. Hamachishlema as well. Who? Yokohama tires.

They're thinking about putting it right in the middle there. Gospel and glue.com. Ghosty owned, ghosty operated, might I even say. And ghosty advertised. And ghosty supported. That's right. Possibly you. Uh, gospel and glue. It is a, I, I, I hope that I can properly convey how awesome this company is. It's, it's a brand new company. Give it, give it to us in, in pillars. No, that could be no pillars. Okay, pillars. Pillar one. Uh, well, first of all, let me just say what it is. All right. Pre pillar, pre pillar. It's a, it's a craft, uh, kit that teaches your kids about the gospel and is made for, uh, ages three to seven. So pillar one, pillar one, hands on activities, right? It's widely known.

Everyone knows this. Timon, you know it, I know it. It's wide. Children often learn only 5 to 10% of what they hear, but they learn 75% when they do it. Think about it. Pillar 1. You don't read in a book about, you know, static electricity.

You put your hand on a ball and your hair flies up, and that's how you learn science, right? Michael Scott, proud of us. Yes, hands-on activities can help increase retention of deep and meaningful truth. So gospel and glue creates a solution. Gospel and glue creates a solution. gospel ingrushion for a rhythm of teaching the Bible to children in a memorable way as a weekly rhythm. So the way they do that is hands-on activities with pillar one.

Pillar two is with pre-planned devotional. So what they do is they have these carefully prepared fun crafts for ages three through seven. Haddy did it the other day. She's eight. It works, guys. It's not a hard cut off. Don't put gospel glue in a box, all right? It comes in a box, but don't put it in a box.

Ages three to seven with the Bible-based devotional. It's easy to understand, but still rich with biblical truth. Don't rebox it. Each month, discover a new section of the Bible and how it points back to the gospel. So, um, pillar three pillar three is that's fully prepped,

Jake. Oh, it's fully prepped. There's no, like a home delivery kit. Honestly, I, I get stressed out when I see all these,

you know, tiny pieces and we had to cut out all this stuff. And oh my gosh, that's going to take forever. And then there's tears and whatever. No, no hunting for the scissors. No hunting for the glue.

No last minute grocery store runs or failed Pinterest attempts last night. That's kind of nice. Pre-cut. Yes, pasted. Oh, it's,

it's, it's 100% everything's right there pre-cut pre-paced the easy to follow instructions to guarantee success so we did this just the other day we got a box in the mail i was like i want to make sure we try it out and we believe in this thing before we do it uh and so we did one about creation they were able to make um you know we talked about how god made light they were able to make these stained glass window uh type crafts that they could then hang up both so pumped to see it this morning uh about how you know light shines through there we talked about you know light and darkness in the world and you know all these different things it was honestly led to a really cool

conversation um and then also just bow talking about a sticky conversation a sticky conversation they will remember that's right because of the glue 100% off 100% true dude love what you're saying 40% true dude I meant 40 there's there's absolute 40% truth uh no uh so if you are interested in this once again eight for ages 3 to 7 gospel glue dot com biblical yeah principles devotionals Catherine's like, I want to ask for this for Christmas for my kids.

Not even closed, dog. Messages. Maps, calendar, YouTube. I don't even have the YouTube app. I don't even own it. I don't even own it. I don't even own it. Spotify, messages, Gmail, Chrome. Solid doc. Solid doc. It's got everything you need. If I had nothing else, I could get most places with that dock.

Camera! That's a pretty good dog. That's crazy. I like, I've had my doc for so long. I'm like, this is whatever, this is what you should have on your, this is what everyone has. This is what everyone does. Yeah. These are the necessities. Phone messages, camera, photos. Can you now explain to us what your home is. screen actually looks like. Sure. So you just walk you through my actual home screen. Yeah. How many apps can

we see? Non-docced apps. Yeah. 24. Okay. Not bad. 24 non-doced. So, oh, wait. I thought there was like nothing on this. No, we just assumed. I said it was very basic. Oh, okay. Sorry. Which you'll understand in a second. So settings, calendar, clock, notes. FaceTime, weather, find my maps. Contacts, reminders, files, calculator, podcast. Reminders? Then I have two, I have these two little... Files? You're all using files? This is, I'm never on this page. I just...

Makes sense. The first page you're never on. I got it's the basic stuff. All the Apple apps are just there. I have one little folder that's called utilities. It has tape measure, voice memos. I used the measure yesterday. I used it ever known. And compass. Which is weird. I don't know why that, like voice memos I actually use sometimes. Like, I don't know why that's inside of a different folder. Then I have one that's like money stuff.

as like PayPal and Venmo, Amazon, eBay, Google Photos, Google Maps, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Sheds, Google Slides, why is Google Slides on there? You never know. And then Impromptu, mobile powerpoint. All the Google stuff is at the bottom. Google Slides is on your homepage. It is. It is.

eBay is on your homepage. This has inspired me to, like, do a lot of, like, I want to clean it up because I also have way too many pages, like of just random apps. This is a good bricked activity, too. Yep. Yeah. Like, you want to be on your phone, but you can't do all the phone. fun stuff. I can reorganize it, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. You're getting getting in the brick, huh? Yeah. Good for you. Catherine's brick. Fun. This is like one of the first days

that I've like left without being bricked because I was like, I don't know on the podcast. Maybe I have to look up something, but it's like. Yep. Yeah. It'll be fine. I'll be fine. Got a computer that can do anything your phone can do pretty much. You're right. Yeah, I saw timing in public without planning it and he was bricked in public. Wow. That's good, man. That's Yeah, bricked up in a Chick-fil-A. Me, him and Zach in a booth. In a booth. Bricked up in a booth. One brick, three guys.

Three booths, yeah. Cool. That's fun. Yeah, we didn't plan it. That was fun. It was just me and Zach there about an hour and a half. But then I didn't know Zach was going to get there so early. And then you were there?

I was going to get this early. I feel like that looks like Jake's Tesla maybe. I don't know. Wait, so you were meeting Zach or you just happened to see Zach? And then timing came later. I went in. I was getting worked done at Chick-fil-A. Zat comes in, timing comes in.

I haven't gotten worked on a Chick-fil-A recently. It's a good spot. It's like it's kind of my default right now. Because I'm like, I don't know of a better one, really. It's like, great, great Wi-Fi? Yeah. Food options. Have they ever, dude, next time we're there together. Let's, they have like a specific Wi-Fi

that's like the corporate Wi-Fi for Chick-fil-A. It's so fast. And you're on? Yeah. And apparently it's like the same Wi-Fi for every single Chick-fil-A. But it's like hidden. I forget what they call it. You know, of course, Drew Severs knows it. He's like, oh, yeah, you're getting on this one? You know, hi-fi, whatever, something like that.

You're in. I'm in. It's awesome. So next time. Good to know. Yeah. That's fun. There's some name for it, but maybe I can find it.

But anyway, it kind of feels like a fun little like, who cares? It's the internet's fine already. But like, it is a little bit better, you know. Because sometimes I'll have to like, depending on where I am, I'll just go to a hotspot. Yeah. Because I'm like, it's too slow. I can't handle it. Yeah.

So it reminds me. I think I had a dream. It doesn't matter. I have an announcement. Rachel and I are a country family now. For whatever reason, I have just been listening to pretty much exclusively 90s country for the last five days. Nineties. Got me into this. Defined 90s. I don't know. I don't know country well enough. And I probably don't either. But just like the classics that I grew up on slash no about not new. My front porch looking in. Who's that? Meet in the middle. you know these fishing in the dark wait wait you start going your way that one kind of yeah i'll start going my way what is it bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum in the middle in that old texas georgia jordan i don't know how it is i know i like your lyrics you start walking

your way i'll start shopping your store i'll start walking your aisles you start walking your aisles you start walking mine we'll meet in the middle with that old clearance line yeah I think it's something about the sound that a lot of these songs have but I think it's mainly nostalgia it's like I grew up listening to it a little bit and all the like K West Western parties I mean I DJed dances with this music

every week for six summers and then didn't listen to it for 10 years and now I'm back okay Fish in the Dark makes me think of like 60s is that I feel like that's a really old song Is it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know either.

Fish in the dark is a... For some reason, I think of that. Bangor, dude. It is a great song. That one's so good. And that's... Most of them are like bands. I don't even know.

That one's like the nitty gritty... Dirt bang or something weird. Indie gritty dirt band. I think they're kind of big. Nitty gritty dirt man. Time and look all this up. When are these songs made? I'll be sick.

You and me. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, that one's good. Ninety-seven. Never mind. 87. Close to 90s. Yeah.

Yeah, close. you probably call yourself a 90s kid. You grew up in the 90s. Yeah. A couple that I want to highlight. One, do you guys know the song Daddy sang bass? Mama sang Dana. I've heard of it.

Yeah, okay. I know that line. Mama saying Danny. I feel like that was one. I think that's kind of like a Southern gospel song a little bit. And so I really grew up listening to it. My dad would force it on us. And I played it for Rachel and she loves it.

Of course. Someone needs to write it as a jingle. Brady sang bass. Time and sang tenor. Is that not? perfect. We have to do a jingle to that. At this point, now I'm out. I need to suggest it. That's what the chorus is. You guys all do the rest. That's funny. Braddy sang bass, time and sang tenor. I don't know that song very well. I'll tell you there was a season, a season, a time in my

life when I borrowed Jesse Plattner's phone, where I did not have a single ounce of service driving through the middle of nowhere, Alabama. All I had was his safe songs on his phone. And we went through a ride. And one of the songs that came up was that song. Was it? really and i just i listen to all of them because i just imagine jesse sitting next to me in the passenger seat like this is a good one this is a good song here this one this one this one beckett doesn't care for but i like this one yeah that's a great song other song i really want to highlight great song i feel like i don't know why i appreciate it so much this week i've listened to it every day yesterday was in the gym and i listened to the club mix of this song and i was like okay

this is not actually hitting the same but uh boot scoot and boogie oh yeah good song i like this song The epitome, I think it's Berks and Dunn. Okay. They don't make them like they used to. It's just a fun song, and you're just talking about nothing. Get down, turn around, love it on the boat, scooting boogie. It's just a song about dancing. It's a fun dance.

I don't remember how to do it. I need more songs about dancing that are just mumbo-jumbo. Get down, turn around, go to town, look at a clown. It's just rhyming stuff. you know absolutely turn that frown upside down go on a merry-go-round

boot scootin-buggy go to midge take a bridge you have a whiz with boots scooting boogie yeah it's just fun so I get to the car now and I just I go nuts

on old country and it sounds like I would agree with your preferences on country because like a lot of my friends that like 90s country or maybe it's not even not

I don't know I don't know the genre that well just the songs that I know. But, like, those are fun songs. Like, so many, my, like, Rustin, shout out Rustin, dude. Rustin's a huge listener of the podcast. Rustin loves, like, some George straight, Alan Jackson. And I'll listen to them every once in a while, like, trying to, like, understand what's so legendary about these people. It's so slow. Just singing like this. And I'm like, I don't, I don't get down on this at all. Like, but like, yeah. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, that's great. So what about, I mean, try to think of other country songs that are just like classics. I mean, the chicken fried is a modern classic. That's a little newer, but still fun.

Yeah. And it says beer, so, I don't know. Dude, nitty-gritty dirt band has still 4.5 million month of listeners. Like, pretty good for being, like, their big time was 87. That's pretty much. I like, I'm in a hurry and don't know why. I don't know that one. I'm in a hurry and don't know.

don't know why. No, I don't know. Dust on the bottle. Most of these artists, too, I'm like, who are you? Really? You know, dust on the bottle? I don't think so. Okay.

I didn't listen to country boy. I was going to say, I didn't listen to country growing up. I used to be like anti-country and I've become like appreciative. Once I went to K State and met people that were like country people. It was like, oh, so this actually like makes sense in your life. You know, like we're just a bunch of city kids. love and country music. A song for

Time and's mother, My Maria. That's a good one. Okay. That one sounds slow. Is it slow? It's slower. Brooks and Dunn.

Wait, is that the one that's like, Ma Marie. Oh yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, yeah. Should have been a cowboy. Classic, dude.

Yeah, that was a little newer. Looking at... Is it? I thought so. I don't... Should it be a cowboy? Or what about mom? Oh, I was thinking of Mama's...

mama wait don't let your children grow up to be cowboys that's a good one too just a just a city boy talking country here any man of mine shenaya no i don't know it's fun well anyway there's just a lot of good stuff in there that I've been loving about Travis Trit Randy Travis that's their names I've heard of them yeah I get all those guys confused same Keith Irby. Yeah, I'm just a country boy for this week at least. Okay. Really liking it.

That's fun. It's funny. I feel like I really like country in the warm months. And so the fact that you're like getting into it as it's getting more fall out. It's still warm out there, but I don't know. I really like listening to it on the beach. I like listening to it. Yeah.

The windows down driving in the truck in the summer. Truck's nice. The only other thing I've listened to that it was not country this week was shout out to, I forget your name, but whoever you are uploading the, the Ghostrunners tight beats on Spotify. I don't know. Do you guys know who does it? Philip Fitzgerald.

Does that son, right? Phil Fitzgerald. Philly Fitz. Yeah. Just what I say, I appreciate you. I listened to the whole discography on the way to, Scott the other day was like,

do you want to play pickleball up in Liberty? I was like, oh, yeah, sure, no problem. This is like Northeast Liberty at 545. So it was like a 50 minute drive. So yeah, I listened to a lot of Ghostrunner's tight beats. So if you guys don't know, a lot of like our best jingles around there. Oh, it's entertaining.

it's nice i listen to all you guys every once in a while it's like oh this one's bad i shouldn't that's rough like the ghostrunners like a g6 one i'm like oh my basically anyone that timing hasn't been in yet it's like oh we tried yeah anytime that i get involved my gosh geez why'd you upload this one why'd you put my parts in there mute me oh seriously though so good um anyway that's my family announcement Thanks. Let's see. I'm a country boy now. I have a family. I've got an entrepreneur in the family. Whoa. Henry?

Oh, shoot. I'm going to answer this on the pod. It'll be fine. Hi, this is Brad. Hi, Brad. This is Sherry with one hour heating and air conditioning. How are you? I'm good. How are you?

You have a great day. All right. Oh, can I tell you something real quick?

Yeah. The back door is just unlocked so he can just go in. Okay. I will let him know that. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Goodbye. True or false? That was AI. I know. It was a good test. I mean, she talks. Remember I played the voicemember from that ping pong YouTuber and it was like,

it was so nice to meet you, Jake. I think some people will just talk like Siri. But they called me yesterday. A different person. They called me yesterday, and it felt also very, like, AI. But, I mean, she answered your question, so I don't think it's AI. You don't think? No. You ever talk to chat GPT like that?

Oh, I see it. Like, I don't know. No, I don't think that's AI. Timon. I could go either way. I, that last, the way she answered the last one for some reason, kind of sold me on it. I was like, that, I don't know. I think the way she said, you're welcome seemed pretty robotic.

But I think she was pretty quick to answer. Oh, okay. Oh. Yeah, maybe so. Oh, okay, Brad. I will let them know. No, I meant. No, can a,

K now. K now. My announcement of my family is, yeah, we got an entrepreneur in the family. Come home the other day, Bose, like, whisper into Catherine. Like, can we do it? Can we do it?

Yeah, after dinner. He has a sign that says, Beau's general store. And it's, he just put a bunch of random things that he quote unquote made out of like uh what are those things called tinker toy kind of things uh in my dresser like just like basically took out all my clothes and put all this stuff in there labeled it all with different things so we got what was it was like puzzles you know all these

different things was adult tools like what is adult tools he's like knives blades things like that sharp stuff uh and then he had a cash register and we just like all went to his store and wow it was so funny he's like ah you don't have enough money for that here here have a hundred dollars this is great that was just a fun little memory with him yeah he had puzzles Hattie and Rosie getting in on it too

everyone buying yeah Henry even brought some money to the table so it was a great time I'm trying to think of what else he had now I love that type of stuff yeah I remember doing that type of stuff all the time as a kid just like

Bose general store make a fake school and man sometimes I wish that they would just play with like a ball more because that's so much easier to clean up like they're still stuff in my dressers from all this, but I'm like, I know it's good. I know it's fun for them to be creative. Like all the signs are still on my dresser drawers, you know, but I'm like, all right, that's fine. It's good for him. Time, can you remember any games you played like with your siblings, like school or whatever? Like, were you playing house and stuff? Like, what do you guys do?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think, I'm trying to remember. We would definitely play school, like, who knows what we got right or wrong because we didn't really know. But, like, like, Like, is the hand of the teacher and you guys are all the students or how do you guys? Yeah, basically it was like it'd be that or I remember making stores a lot like kind of set up like right, right labels for stuff and you have like the amount of money you have to pay. Yeah. And just all kinds of like farms and and farms and pick up sticks. Pick up sticks. Mom Maria.

Yeah. I know I've said this on the podcast before, but Rachel grew up playing with her brother Tim. They would play no mom and dad. Oh yeah. Just like the opposite of house. And it's like no mom. and dad, like, as an orphan, not as in, like, mom and dad are gone. We can do whatever

we want, kind of thing. Yeah, I think it's like, life is tough. Yeah. Oh, we definitely would play, like, eat nothing. Yeah, like, kind of, we'd play, like, Little House in the Prairie type stuff. Or, like, yeah, this is all during the summer, just you're stranded and kind of helpless

and trying to, like, make food out of stuff. We'd play, yeah, we'd play, yeah, we'd play, like, cowboys and, yeah. Cowboys and... Cowboys and... Cowboys and... The rivals. Go Stratfords. Beau's General Store. Bo's General Store.

Yeah. Have you been to the, what is it, the Franklin General Store or whatever? I haven't. No. Rachel's been loves it. Yeah, I hear, I need to go because I worry that's going to shut down.

Don't you? I mean, anything, yeah. Yeah, of course. It's too bad. And that specific spot has been like multiple things. Yeah. It's like, we need to go buy some jelly from him, probably.

Yeah, but also, is that going to move the needle? Hey, and this is why we're talking about on the podcast. If you're in downtown Shawnee, check out the Franklin General Store. Yeah. They're probably great people and they probably need your business. And they, yeah, they sell like good stuff from what I hear. I read an article about them one time.

Well, hey. So it's not just us. I'm doing my part. Yeah. No, I haven't been there though. Need to. Have had thoughts to. We could walk there.

Oh, it's raining. Oh, darn. We could drive there. No, we can't get in our car. We can drop at the rain. um who's coming to your house because i've had a couple people come to my house this week that i want to talk about uh hvac people just a little you know six month check up okay i had a little check up i got a text it was like hey you're due for your annual plumbing check okay what i do to deserve this i was like

come on boys remember that time where did that your toilet just spewed water i think about that every now and then that was crazy wild anyway yeah was that when you were gone i don't think i know about this. I was at home by myself alone one day and just the toilet's making crazy sounds like literally spewing. I mean, it's getting in the bathtub. It's like all over the wall, all over the walls. And then I go check the master bathroom at the same thing. It was just like bubbling. I mean, like a small volcano or geyser. Okay, there's a toilet in our house that like used to have problems like that. Like, I don't know if it got all over the walls, but it was like, it would just like gurgle and like splash a little bit. Yeah, it was like a gurgle and splash. Construction, right, whenever

the construction was going down here. Yeah, I Google. that, or no, I think I called. And, or yeah, I probably did both. And they were like, yeah, it's just like, we were, we were in the pipes in your neighborhood this morning. So, yeah, there's going to be some gurgling. You're fine. Yeah. So I'm glad I wasn't sitting on it. Interesting. Anyway, so they came and, you know, check my pipes and, you know, they tell me all this stuff. I'm not a plumber, but I can check your pipe. I'll take a look. And one thing I love doing is,

when they come back, they say, all right, we're going to write up some options for you, and we'll be back. And they say, all right, basic is this, bronze, silver, gold. And we'd even be willing to do platinum for you today. Whoa. They went five options on you? Yeah, there was nice to them to offer me platinum. They were really bent in over backwards to do me a favor, offering me a $7,500 plumbing kind of, like, fix for the things I have wrong in this 100-year-old house. Wow.

That you have no issues with. That I'm okay with. Yeah, if anything, we got a lot more problems than the plumbing in this. house 7500 what yeah so that was like the may it was like all right and we plan on we could fix everything for 7500 what i love doing and i've just started doing this is pretending like my wife controls everything in the house okay and i oh i make her seem like the bad guy yeah 100% i say oh man i would love to just just the peace of mind knowing everything's fixed i would love to do that but boy i'm after on this past my wife and she handles all the finances she will not like this

she is a bulldog i'll tell you right now Now, honestly, she won't go probably a penny over 100. Maybe not even 100. I'll talk to her, but could we get the platinum for a hundred? If we do cash, could we do $100? I'll give you $120 right now to do platinum. Yeah. And so, yeah, I just love making it seem like she, I mean, she makes the money.

She spends, I mean, she just, she runs everything. You can see, I'm home. I'm home right now. I'm not doing nothing. Yeah. And they're always like, oh, of course, of course. Yeah. So, you know, we totally get that, totally get that. So I'll let you know, but I mean, she's,

She's probably not going to like this. And then it gets me out of their hair. It gets them out of my hair. No one's in anyone's hair. No hair has been messed with. Nope. I don't touch their hair. They don't touch mine.

They didn't snake my drain. That's right. There's a lot of hair in there. You're going to want to get it out. We'll get in your hair. That's a gold package. That's funny. Yeah,

I like doing that. Interesting that you got a plumber just like on retainer that coming out. Yeah, I found out that's because I've been paying $15 a month for like when I thought I had a bondi truck. And I was like, well, that'd be not. like maintenance and like generator stuff. Sure. To have them like on call.

Haven't called them in two years or I guess a year. So I had to take advantage. So it's like, all right, let's do the plumbing inspection. Cancel. See you. Yeah. Who we? I think I'm just going to say hooey for the beginning of every ad read this episode.

Sorry. Whoie? Whoie. Man, I'm coughing out some beans right there. I love that phrase. Yeah, man. What's wrong? I'm just coughing out some beans.

Coffing out some beans, which of course means I've been stressed. Yeah, dude, you've been, how's life been? I don't know, man. You know, honestly, we've been coughing out some beans at our, I get it, dude. I get it. It's, yeah, I'm an accountant. It's, you know, that time of year.

I was like, oh, I got something in my notes. And I want to know if you've seen this on the ring camera yesterday.

If not, I think you could reference it or something, maybe. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I missed the whole thing. But I was taking out my trash yesterday. So I'm at the bottom of my driveway, which means I can have a pretty good vantage point of your house from there. And there was a guy that was clearly a door-to-door salesman.

Do you know about this? I don't know about this. This is probably we'll call it 8.39 o'clock yesterday morning. Okay. I don't know if you're home or not. I was not home. Okay. I didn't think so.

I'm intrigued by it. I don't know about this. Okay. You should, can you look at like... Yeah, yeah. I got a history. So there was a guy that came to your door. You could tell.

like just by his dress kind of like this guy is a moving door door like i think he even had like a tablet or something in his hand and uh he he probably waited for like you know oh yeah a minute or two and dude you should watch it i pretty sure it's like this guy is like told like taught like in salesman school for his job or whatever like even if they don't answer the door just give a pitch anyway to the i'm serious dude it looked like he was like because like i didn't see your door open at all. I was like, surely Jake didn't open like the first door and like keep the storm door closed to talk to this person. No, I can hear you just fine. Go ahead, man. Or like, is this guy just like talking and you're like ignoring him sitting on the couch? No way is Jake doing that.

And so I watched this guy basically be like like like, like having like pretty like big hand motions and stuff. Like I was like I think he's just like taught like, hey, get your reps in any way you can. Get your reps. I want to see if you can find this and like. I'm watching the ring doorbell footage right now. Right now he's he must be a roof. A.I. calling you again? Peggy Jones. Oh, that's AI. Answer it. 417 number. See if she knows the triplets.

Hi, this is Brad. Hey, I'm doing well. How are you? Okay. I'll need to call you back. Actually, I'm sorry. I'm in the middle of something right now. But I can, I'll give you call back. Your 417 number, are you from Springfield? Oh, very good. Okay, my best friend is from Stratford. Yeah, so.

Yeah. Okay, I'm sorry, I have to call you back, but I'll talk to you soon. All right, bye. Pass due invoice. That's a real call, boys. And it looks kind of sketchy when I'm like, oh, just call you back later. totally call you back

take this can down the road so unfortunately we've got a little bit the ring doorbell is not perfect we've got about 10 seconds when he first pressed the door bell and he takes like a casual stance back I'm guessing he's a roofing guy because he's looking up

he's doing this he's scanning yep he's looking up he's got his little sheets of paper in his hand hand on his hip and he's really serving he's giving me a full left right left right and then the next movement

is like a minute and a half later when he leaves. I think he puts something on our door and leave. So what's missing, kind of like the Epstein footage, what's missing is maybe the pitch that you saw. Yeah. And that's why I'm like, ring,

just record all of it. There's a guy in front of my door. Yeah. Record it all. That's funny that they like stop for a second. Yeah, it's not great. But yeah,

like it looked like, unless he was like on the phone FaceTiming somebody, it was like he was talking to nobody. I can't believe it doesn't save that footage. Yeah, I've got the beginning in the end and that's it. Yeah,

he was there. for a minute and 40 seconds. And it looked like he kind of like even like like totally. Yeah. Okay. So I'll come back. Okay. Because your wife is in charge.

Okay. Yeah. Maybe he knew like the ring doorbell was like getting footage of this thing. Yeah. He's like, well, I'll just talk to the ring and they can just save it later. Because I know I can talk to them. I've never done that. But I could.

I freaking could if I wanted to. So what I thought you're going to say is someone else came by my driveway yesterday that I had hired. Okay. I heard of this for years. thought who in their right mind would pay for this oh let's try to guess okay who in their right mind would pay for this who in their right mind would pay for this oh you did i know it i got it 100 i have no idea he got he got his uh trash cans cleaned out you're good nailed it bro you're good yeah yeah how did it go uh it's awesome really it's fun just looking in there into not having to hold my

breath yeah not seeing any mags how much three five dollars okay That's not, I mean, that's like, do that every six months. Yeah. Ours. Spacing out per month. Ours is needing it, I think. We've, we've tried multiple times, like washing it out, and it's just still nasty. Yeah, because what happened was, uh, well, three words, white chicken chili.

That's what happened. What do you mean? What just so I think I was like emptying out the, like, crock pot. Hey, three words, white chicken chili, boys. I can tell you the whole story or I could just say white chicken chili. Hey, boys, white chicken chili. What is that? I was, like, emptying out the bag from the crock pot.

You know, we try to keep it bag, so you don't have to clean your crock pot as much. Well, there was a rip in the bag. Like, I noticed it as I'm tossing it in there. Either way. You just took, you just went straight bag to, bag to bin. Twist it, you know. Uh-huh. Either way.

I mean, I just exploded soup into the trash can, so invited every fly and maggot in the zip code to come into my trash can. And so. It's so, it's so warm for white chicken chili. It's so hot. It's like, it's still like 90 degrees of Kansas right now. It's not white chicken chili time. It's been very humid. And so, yeah, truly, that just invited the next time that like 25 hours later, I went to throw away trash and probably like 40 flies flew out.

Whoa. A lot. Too many. So I told Rachel's like, this is a situation. Don't go near the trash can. I'll do it all. But that was like on a Thursday. So it's like, they don't clean your trash can until it's trashy.

So I was like, all right, Rachel, we got six days for you to hold your breath as you walk to the house. If we can make it through this six days, we can do anything. And so it was gross. I mean, yeah, just a ton of mags, flies that are about to be mags. Yeah. A couple dead flies. It didn't make it to mag stage. Wait, do flies become mags or mags become flies?

I thought the flies became mags. I think it's, I don't know. I don't know. Let's just be curious. Anyone have internet access? Let's just be curious. Let's just take our stances and just stand for him. But yeah, it feels great.

And he came by. And I enjoyed watching. him on the ring door about it's like he's cleaning him yeah and also i sent a screenshot to rachel i said this poor guy having to like 35 bucks every how long it take him that's the thing it was all automated it was on the back of his truck so i didn't feel bad yeah yeah he's fine just like well he has just like a trash cleaning machine yeah whoa yeah if you get like pressure washes it hopefully he bleaches it that's cool 35 bucks 35 bucks one time he didn't try to upsell you like hey oh they texted me afterwards we can do this quarterly yeah 15 bucks a month

anytime you want have us on call but i just never thought i'd do that i was like it's full of trash well i don't need to clean i remember we talked about this like yeah a few weeks ago like you said the same that you're like yeah we don't need to do this who cares if it got maggots in it just like you were looking at that thing it was like here you could either do this or you could just forget about it you're like i'm just gonna forget about it yeah it's like making you're bad but then the white chicken chili yeah the stink oh the stink anyway dude that's great that's nice uh that's fun yeah we've had some we had a guy yesterday. We finally hired somebody to do some landscaping work on our house. And it's it's one of

those things like we're getting old at this point. Like we're worried about this kind of thing or not we even worried, but we're like excited when he like, look at that. Look how much better our house looks with them just taking away like trimming this tree. It's like, this is the most boring way to spend money ever. But like we're excited about it. So my boy, filiberto. Filiberto. Yeah. Filiberto. A new name for me. Filiberta. He speaks pretty good English and I kept trying to speak to him

in Spanish. I don't know if he loved it. I thought it was fun though. I thought we were having a good report. I don't think he minded, but he kept speaking me in English. He kept kind of rejecting your Spanish advances. Oh, this is your kid.

I was like, yeah, we have quattro. Quatro, Ijos, you know, whatever. Oh, four kids, that's great. Yeah. Okay, muchachos. Mucho gusto, filiberto. Okay, much josh. I hope you're hungry.

There's a banana bread stand on the right. Anybody who's done this knows that's perfect. Man, he's a great muchacho. He's a great macho. Filiberto. Filiberto. He was awesome. So fun.

So getting long work done, getting things taken care of, you know? Landscaping. Falls the right time to do that, yeah? No idea. It's the time where Catherine finally said, hey, you know how we were talking about this for a long time? Can you try to find somebody to do this? And I found somebody named Filiberto.

I told Rachel, I said, I think it's time that we do some, like, I use the word landscaping, which is probably not the right word. Because she got really excited. She's like, oh, fun, whatever. And I was like, sorry, that's not what I mean. You know how our basement floods, it looks like Noah's Ark every time there's a drizzle. I think there's a way to avoid that by, like, what's it called, like grading and like the boring side of landscaping. You know who I bet could help you with that?

moving dirty. The plat man. That's not what I was going to say, but yes. Filiberto. I'll get you, I'll get you in contact with old Phil. Tell him I said, uh, Ola, Ola.

And Yokiro. Give him, give him my, give him my number. I'll say, okay, I'll, I will, damn, dam, d'allet sui, okay, sounds good. Quetreunosite, Springfield. Peggy Jones has the same era. Peggy Jones.

Oh, Peggy Jones, gonna be like, that guy just so pointed me. Anyway, but yeah, I'm not going to do the boring landscaping of like, hey, can you move the dirt so it doesn't flood as much? Yeah. That's what I'll tell him. And then hopefully he knows what to do with that information.

No, that's good. I, we need to do that our house too. So I don't know if Filiberto can get it, but if not, he knows, he knows a guy. He knows a guy. He knows a guy. Yeah, that's not very fun landscaping. Maybe after that, though, you put a little, some shrubbery in. Who knows what we'll do?

Yeah. Fun. Fun. Fun. Time. What's new with you? you, brother. I feel like you haven't gotten to talk much just. Oh, it's all good. Except for your home screen. This past weekend, uh, I guess not like a funny story. It's just fun. I went to this

like church kind of, I guess like retreat slash conference slash camp. It's like, oh yeah, 600 like college age kids from my church denomination, like all just going to like worship and there's like keynotes and like talks about stuff and like it was really cool. Where was it? Uh, Indiana. Okay. Hanging rock Christian camp. Okay. It was like the venue. But yeah, it was super cool.

It was so fun because it was like in my church, it's like I know, I know a lot of people my age, like from different locations. Kind of. I don't see them that much. And so it's like, wow, this is like everyone I know in one spot. It was pretty cool. So yeah. That's really fun. 600 people all college age.

Yeah. Yeah, it was sweet. It was sweet. And it was like, it's like typically our church, like no instruments in church, you know, at the camp, you can get a little, you can get a little fun. It's drum stinger. Yeah. Yeah. So that was great.

What kind of instrument should be talking? Just like guitar, piano. Yeah. Some, like, some drums, but they're, like, toned down a little bit to, like, fit the crowd, you know? Oh, maybe some, yeah. There's like, like, like, he was sitting on a cahone, but he had, like, a thing that would, like, kick it when he, like, stepped on it. And then also, like, a snare and, like, some stuff. That was fun.

Oh, interesting. So it was, like, he used the cahone as the bass drum. Yeah. It was pretty cool. It was, like, a fun. he had like a symbol too and like depending on like we did praise by brandon lake at one point it was like okay let's bring out the kind of like the toms or whatever it was cool I miss lead worship that's fun it was fun that's really cool but yeah that was sweet just very virtually

uplifting and it was awesome what's your great weekend's your personality like in a setting like that like how much are you like meeting new people versus like stay in with your your people that you know already yeah you branching are you the man yeah are you Are you loud? Are you quiet? Are you, whatever? Yeah, I think it did a decent job. I was, like, pretty happy with myself as far as, like, the balance of how, because it is, it would be super easy just to stay with the people I knew. I met a lot of new people, which is great. I met a couple, a couple ghosties who I didn't know. Really? At the church. There was one girl, I think her name was Kinsey. Hello. She had, she listened, like, before she knew, I was like part of the same church or whatever.

Yeah. And maybe someone else, Jenna from Oregon or something like that. That was a lot of fun. Like, just, it was like, Jen and Kinsey, which one he could go with?

Jen is engaged, brother. Jen is engaged. Sounds like it's Kinsey. Yeah, we'll see. Jen is engaged. That's classic.

But yeah. She's 17, dude. She's already engaged. Dude. Yeah. That was pretty fun, though. Wait.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. So it was like, I think I did a decent job branching out. Yeah. But also,

yeah, like hung out with the, with the boys that I knew. Yeah, a decent mile already. So, yeah, that was pretty cool. That's great, man. It was fun.

It's fun. Enjoy it while you can't. Not that you can't enjoy it while you're older. She's like, I can't go to that. It would be weird if we went. We tried. They already had a Cajon player. Oh, man.

Yeah, that was great. That was great. Do you guys see old Nate Bargazzi hosted the Emmys? And have you seen the backlash? I saw that he was the host. I have not seen anything else. What was there with you? Didn't see Backlash.

Oh, I saw that he was like every $100,000 he did that thing, like every second you go over, is that the backlash? Yeah. Oh, really? It really, what, did that really happen? Like, it was really true? No, it was all kind of like a schick. And then I think afterwards they donated like triple that. And so what's the backlash?

Is the internet being the internet? Internet being the Internet, people not knowing that because I think that donation was probably made more in private or maybe it wasn't announced. I don't know. And then I think third people made the argument like, this is their one. chance to accept an Emmy and you're trying to cut their time short where they can't thank people was like the argument I see that's interesting because it's like the rule is already there it's just not as enforced enforced so it's like I guess yeah when you enforce it's people get mad but they weren't really enforcing it sounds like right I don't know I didn't watch it I really I was just they

were poking fun at the idea that everyone always knows anyway of like yeah once it's getting too long they play music and you kind of wrap it up I saw one quote for someone who was like If you were in the room, it actually played pretty well. I think people were into it, but maybe just, like, the optics. Because I think people are, like, doing, like, an Emmy acceptance speech, and there's, like, a number behind them. Oh, really? Yeah, and, like, that number is going down.

Yeah. And so I could see how, like, that doesn't look great, you know. I understand it, but also, like, who cares? I mean, it's not that big a deal, but I hate to see I'm getting any backlash. Yeah. Because it was completely his idea, probably. Who knows? I will say one thing I was intrigued by, which I was hoping.

So this is the weekend when we were, recording this that Nate's here in Kansas City. And so I was like, we'd love to go to a show, would love to hopefully podcast with him on correct opinions. And we signed his network and get to talk to him about hosting Emmys, the week that it all happened. This would be great. It's not going to happen. But really? Yeah, I was so curious to ask like, so he did like an opening skit, a sketch. And it was pretty much exactly like Washington's dream, the S&L skit, but in Emmy's like TV version of it. Okay. And I'm so curious, It's like Rachel showed it to me.

Like, you've seen this? And I almost couldn't even focus on it because I was just like, how are they allowed to like steal S&L's bit, essentially? It was like the same thing of like, there will be television and we'll have something called the Learning Channel. Will there be learning, sir? No, almost none.

Oh, so it wasn't even like a monologue. It was like a- It was like the exact same sketch as Washington's dream sketch. Yeah. But it's like that was NBC and this is CBS and like, yes, Nate's in both of them, but like different people like I mean an S&L person wrote the first one I was just like I don't know how this works on the back end I feel like someone's got to be mad about this part though fair but like isn't that S&L parodies things all the time not that it's like really a parody but it's like that's kind of what S&L does not with this I guess so specifically but like I just feel like it was like man that was a really good really popular really original sketch at least from what I knew and like to so quickly just like copy it's like this is the one yeah thing that we can do with this. Yeah, but maybe because it's like, well, it's the same guy.

Yeah. It's all good. But that's what I want to ask about. I'm so curious, like, how that works. Did you have to get permission from someone? Right. Maybe an SNL. I don't know.

Because it's all. Yeah, you can't really like copyright any of that stuff, right? No, yeah. Nothing legally would ever happen, but it's just like, you definitely make some enemies, rub people the wrong way. Yeah, because like what is, is like, SNL does jeopardy all the time. Not all the time, but like they've done it. Is that NBC?

You know, or is that like some other, like they, they, Yes, it all via com or they spoof like ESPN or all these different things, which I know that's different because it's like they're making fun of those things. So it makes sense that I don't know, but it was just the, I think the, the fact, yeah, the format. It was like you took someone's format. It's literally, yeah. I think in the realm of content creation, it's like I would not like that.

What if somebody like another picklewall brand like did something like that of yours? Like, yeah, you would, you would, you would care about. that dude when Caleb Sullivan was here you know he's from Tampa which is where addict pickleball is from and he was telling me I don't know remember the exact story but it gets brought up he's like yeah there's this one company like nearby us and I was like is it addict he's like yeah I think it is yeah you know them and I was like dude that's the brand yeah I do yeah and then like five minutes later he's like oh dude that's like oh is that the company that copied you I'm just clicking with me oh dude

that's them it's crazy it's like yeah that's them it is kind of crazy um anyway no but i haven't watched yeah the emmy thing i anytime anybody hosts like that it's very rare that they're going to stay their same personality like i'm like did he really i i just assume that like i'm just going to be a little bit let down by the way he probably hosted the emies because i bet he has jokes written for him that aren't even that good or whatever so i'm not going to subject myself to this you know whatever but yeah i don't know how it works but but it's crazy that he's hosting it because he's getting That's too bad that you're not going to be able.

I thought that was like one of the things like, hey, when you join our network, you know. We did too. That's a bummer. It just didn't, like they just said, didn't work out or. Yeah. I know, Reggie, we were going to try to podcast Saturday. And they said that Nate has an all day commitment, which has got to be around to golf. Yeah.

That's like golfing with Mahomes and Kelsey, which is fine. So I don't know. Honestly, Tray handles all the communication. And I just, you know, I get the scraps of info and just tell me where to be and I don't know what's going on. But would you choose golf with Mahomes and Kelsey? I would. Yeah, me too. Me too.

To be fair, Nate, all right? Yeah. But we're available in the other time if he wants to come. I'm free whenever. Yeah. If you're listening to this two days after you're here and you want to come back home or we'll be in Nashville anytime you want us to be there. We can come. We can come there tomorrow.

So we're, yeah, we're good. We're fun. People won't even know the difference between me and Aaron Weber. Nope. Jake and Dusty Slay. Yes. So. Timing and.

Timing and breakfast. Brian. Brian Bates. Yep. That's me. Old breakfast. So that's fun. Yeah.

But anyway, fun of these getting those opportunities. Yeah. So you think you're going to go? Yes. I think we're going to try to go Saturday night. He's doing two nights? Two arenas. It's crazy.

Good for him. Yeah. Rachel went and saw Matt Rice. this week. Oh, yeah? Yeah. She didn't even know who he was. Like a friend was like, I've got an extra ticket to see Matt Rive. He's like, you are 7.0. Yeah. And she was like, do you know Matt Rife? I was like, you don't. And anyway, she went, said he was really funny. She really liked it. Crazy that she didn't know him because like he was blowing up my algorithm for a long time. You'd think he would be blowing up to like 28 year old girl algorithm too. Yeah.

Guess not. It worked to be done, Matt. But he's still doing it just fine. Yeah. He like was so big and now I don't see him ever. Oh yeah, he's crushing. I mean, he did an arena. Yeah. And he's still selling it out. Yeah. Good for him. Good for Matt. You're, oh, you're not for a while. You're a national show. Yeah, not until December. Okay. You missing it? Like, you see and Trey going out and... Not really. I'm pretty happy. Pretty content. It's fine. It'll be fun when I get to do it and kind of feel the roar of the crowd a little bit. Right. If they laugh. Not a given. But no, I'm pretty good. I'm very happy. happy with my decision and it's fine. And I'm like excited to like see what Trey is performing. There's like a little bit of mystery behind that. It's like, oh, I wonder what

jokes he's saying. I want to hear what Lucas is saying. Like I want to hear the songs. Like it's more of just like, oh, I wonder what's going well. What are they changing? Is just the two of them or they have an opener before Luke? Just two. I think it's like Lucas 30, Tray an hour. Gotcha. That's it. Just kind of what I used to do. Yeah. But yeah. I wrote something down on my podcast notes yesterday or stand-up notes yesterday. It was a conversation Scott and I were having is this relatable or not like talking about like Amazon is like amazing it's crazy how quickly you can like get something that shows up to your door what I don't love is when it's a non-Amazon like branded truck oh these days it's like you're coming into Ford Taurus

that's yeah that's I think the example Scott gave was like a Ford Focus and we're like yeah they don't even really park in your driveway like they get one tire on your driveway and they start like speed walking to your door. I don't like that feeling. They just scan it real quick or they take a picture. Because I forget. I mean, it happens once every two weeks and you forget like, oh yeah, they may not be in an Amazon car. And I don't like that feeling. It's just come at my door. Yeah, because it's always at like sunset. It's not like normal hours. It's like 8 p.m. or something. Well, these days you can even do like a 4 a.m. 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. drop off. Every once while I'll open up the door and there's a new espresso.

Like, okay, cool. Yeah. Right there. Yeah, just the feeling, I think, of just like this unmarked, most time sketchy looking car screeching in and this guy getting out and, like, me and Rachel are eating dinner and he's just like storming our porch. No, no, no, it's cool. It's cool. I mean, I was on. Yeah. I hope. Jeez.

That is, yeah, relatable. Yes. I don't think I've noticed that before. I could write some jokes. But I don't know. Not seeing the street that much. Yeah, that's true. Ho-wee!

That's good ranchers, baby. That's how I feel about good ranchers. I got an email today that said your order has been confirmed that time of year. Yep. That time of the month. Was it that time a month for you? Yeah. My chicken's coming in.

These two have to add up to 11. And this one up here cannot be a four. And so it just love this. Yeah. Logic puzzle kind of stuff. Yep. Logic puzzle type things. I like issuing Rachel challenges like all right, I got easy in this, medium this, hard in this. If you can even come close to me, I'll give you $5,000 to spend in anthropology. You just go nuts. That's how confident I am that you will not beat this score.

I'll take out the white chicken chili for a year. Huh. Yeah, I don't even, I'm having a hard time even comprehending what I'm looking at here. So I'll have to figure that out. But that's fun. I haven't heard of Pips. I'm a big, like, I like all the word ones a lot. Yeah. What's the one? Strands. I like strands. Are you got connections? Like Rachel's. yeah i think we've done connections on the podcast before and i'm i'm pretty good at it yeah the sports connections every once in a while you just need a win just do the sports connections didn't even know they had that i got let's do it right now i bet we can do it in two minutes or less are you ready i'm ready time in ready of course there's an ad you can count on getting the best score in the good

sorry flies or maggots or maggots to turn into flies oh you look that up all we do sports all right we got 16 i'm just going to read them real quick uniform consistent golf club yankee Spade, Ray This is going to be hard If you're not seeing it I know Yeah, do it Okay

But there's one that There's stuff that says Josh Ray Victor Dick Those are all kind of

potential first names Victor I'm thinking Victor Cruz potentially Diamond Reliable Yankee

Fogg Ph OG Fogg A.k. Fogg Allen potentially Where's that come from?

Why is it PHOG? What is that uh this guy's nickname forest forest forest allen fog allen huh i don't know nickname fog this one's actually not as easy as i thought it would be steady reliable unfailing and consistent are all synonyms adjectives so we're going to submit that and yep dependable is the answer for that there's spade club dine this one's harder than i thought i'm so sorry it's not that hard. I think we're still going to get it, but

this is great podcast content. So the 12... Well, while you're figuring that out, flies produce eggs that turn into maggots, that hatch into maggots, which then develop into adult flies, and those flies can lay eggs. We're both right. It's never ending cycle. Fly maggot, fly maggot. I guess you need... But the flies don't turn into maggots ever.

Oh, yeah, sorry. What did I get right? Flies produce eggs that hatch into maggots. So like they... It feels, but you need flies in order to make maggots. Correct. Okay, they don't turn into the flyways comes first. It's not like a... But the maggot also comes before the fly. If that makes sense.

Yes. It is a constant cycle. Yeah. But the eggs turn into maggots. Got it. So, oh, wow. Life was being created in my garbage can. I had no idea.

Okay. Blank Allen. So Josh Allen. Fogg Allen. Fogg Allen. Ray Allen. And then we need one more. We either got Dick Allen, Victor Allen.

Either one of those. Let's try. Let's try Dick. D. Dick Allen sounds. Like a guy. Yep, that's right. All right.

Then last eight. Club, heart, golf, Victor, uniform, diamond, Yankee, spade. Yankee. Heart, diamond, spade are all in club. Heart diamond. Suits of playing cards. Oh my gosh, dude. See?

See? It's easy. Victor, Yankee, golf, uniform. Victor. I don't know. That could be, though. What is it? Victor, Yankee, golf, uniform.

I don't know Victor is like... I don't know what the category is. I'll give you a hint. It is... Oh, my gosh. Sports... I hate when they do this. Sports terms or words in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

Oh, G as in golf. Y as in Yankee. Is that what you mean? Yeah, I think so. Bravo. Charlie, Alpha. Wiscoe, Tango, Foxtrot. Ray.

I don't know if how many of those I could get off top of my head, to be honest. Anyway, hey, Pips in the plunge. Let me know how it goes, guys. So, yeah, you've been going three minutes, or how long? Yeah, it's really, yeah. The only one that's really tough is the very first one. I agree. Because I go cold hot, cold hot, cold.

But if you're recovering, you should start in with cold. Yeah. And so just the first cold sucks. so bad every time but you just suck it up right you suck it up and then you go numb in like two minutes and then you're fine yeah and then once you've hot plunged going back in the cold is no problem

no problem yeah it's way easier so it's just the initial plunge it's a little tricky that's fun dude I haven't been to lifetime in too long last time I was there it wasn't open the cold plunge yeah I'll save it for a Wednesday episode but man I saw some stuff yesterday lifetime did you see this I put it in one of the group mates

no I missed it Session 2 group me was giving me a hard time. They're like, you know, we're trying to award someone jokes through the day, but I don't know if Jake's involved enough to even be a part of it, you know. He's not, someone says something about like, I don't know if he's getting involved with the jokes. And I was like, you want jokes? Here's what I saw Lifetime Fitness 15 minutes ago, and I just rattled off a bunch of jokes. Okay.

And I'll save that for Wednesday. It's hard for me to keep up with that group meet, man. It's very hard. Every once in a while it's like, oh, I think I'm going to read the group me real quick. And it's 84 messages. And I'm like, ah, never mind. Tyler's sold. though, man.

He posted a Trump video, him impersonated Trump the other day. That was unbelievable. And it was like two minutes long. It's incredible how long he went and how good it stayed. Can we put into the episode? Yeah, can we put like, it doesn't have to be the whole thing,

but some of it in there because it's worth it. Yeah, absolutely. Probably. And I mean, it's all over the place too. And it doesn't, like, what does he talk about? Which, to be fair, that's kind of what Trump is. Yeah, it's like, I'm painting this. house, thinking about buying a motorcycle, and then just off the rails.

All right. Reviews of the week? Reviews of the week. This is not a, I just read this literally on Facebook right now. Ten hours ago, Bell Mast, this is a movie review of the week. She said, an adult who watched Lion King for the first time, I knew the story, but never sat down and watched it. Nearly everything about Timoan and Pumba, their accents, types of humor, et cetera, It reminded me so much of Brad when he's being goofy. Like, he must have quoted this movie on the pod

with how much I recognized of the comedy. And then she said, yes, or he or she, Bell. Yes, I cried. So, great movie. Great movie. I'll take that I have some similar humor to Lion King. So thanks, Bell. Thanks, Bell.

My review of the week is from J.D. Kolo. The title says, there's some God in this pod. And in parentheses, it says, read the way Jake. And then I can't see the rest. So I don't know how I was just to read it. I know. way, Jake, fill in the blame. But JD-Colo says, this podcast is amazing.

Thank you for cranking out clean, relatable content that makes me laugh every day. I'm from Omaha, so it's fun to hear all about Midwest shenanigans. I went back to January to catch up on your year and got inspired by the Shred journey. I started Shred Timber. That's fun. That's a good idea. Lifting in Shred Timber.

That's fun. Yeah, that should be more of a regular thing. Like start, like instead of waiting. until January. Like, it's shred timber. Like, this is when you start your journey. I read, I like shred timber. I started shred timber this month,

working out every day and starting my own shred journey. God bless you guys for putting God in the pod. That's sweet. God in this pod. There's some God in this pod. All right. We got to find,

we got to find an instrumental for this thing. I found one. You did? Okay. So Danny Parkhurst rose to jingle to, oh, sorry, Jake. That's the question. Would you guys like to end this episode with a jingle?

Yes. Yes. Sure. It's Danny Parker's a jingle. She is a dog groomer. So I think the whole top-notch thing really just inspired her to write a song about listening to the podcast while dog grooming. So she wrote us a jingle to Forrest Frank and the Figs, Lemonade. However, there's no bridge yet for this song.

Oh, no. So we're going to try to figure this out real quick live. you can watch our creative juices flow real quick. I'm not going to use AI because it's not on my home screen. AI is on my home screen, but not Jakes. Makes you think. Makes you think, right? You think you know somebody.

Home screens from making money. So I do have a little bit of this so far, okay? Because the song is like, sweet like sugar cane on a sunny day. So he said, sweet like a great day on September day. And my goldens love it When I shampoo their big mains And then I said This is the part that I haven't taught

Told you guys yet Get them out the crate Then you would you would say crate The crate the crate Of, sorry Get them out the crate The crate of wood Made by Ike McDone

If it's all consensual Ain't doing nothing wrong Fars No wrong Because it's a consensual dog kennel All I go it Get it? Yes

Okay. And that's where, and that's when they're, they comforts in the sorrow. It's a bum, then she's talking about, listen. So it's almost, it's about dog grooming specifically? Dog grooming whilst listening to the pod, I believe.

I see. What lyrics do we need to rewrite currently? It's, He comforts in the sorrow. He's given in the loss. He stole the shame I care. read and we'll read on the cross that's what we can do right now can't wait until tomorrow because buster's gonna be in heat oh dog grooming till tomorrow
