uh uh oh ooh i do 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 have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost from this podcast. Most of the morning we're taking around. Ghost from the podcast. That was perfect. Almost blew it. You're telling me that took a long time with Rachel's family.

They're a bunch of ding-and-ongs. I almost blew it. What were you going to say? I didn't have anything. I was just nervous. You guys both immediately knew. I was like, oh, what type of species are they? thinking of. I got to figure out the species. Do you know anything more about species, like a specific

types of birds? Yeah. Do you? Yeah. I don't. Tell me more. There's the falcon. Oh, okay. I thought you meant like, Pelagrin falcons are this type of bird. Winged. The winged birds. There's wingbirds. Penguins. I try. Yeah, very good. Penguins. Ostrich, flightless bird. Yes. Chicken can fly with its head caught off. But only with I can do something with its head's got off. Yeah, it can fly better. Yeah, I think, yeah, let's wait.

I tried to, I was at Datterdays the other day with the kids, all four of them, and I tried to teach them about aerodynamics. Why? It's like teaching time and the pump return rule. We were all, we were sitting out at the Shawnee Chick-fil-A, doesn't have inside seating. So we were out there and their stuff would blow away every once while if you didn't have it weighed down. So I was like, let me teach you about aerodynamics. This napkin, since it's flat,

and light will just fly away. But if you crumple it up or you put water on, you know, all these different things. And Hattie was so excited to tell Hatt, your Catherine, when they got home. We learned about aerodynamics. Yep. So Lloyd Wright over here taught me everything I know.

That's Franklin Lloyd Wright, all right? So anyway. Wow. Speaking of Lloyd, Rachel and I watched a Seinfeld episode last night. Okay. One of the better ones I've ever seen. Don't even know what it was called,

but there was a character in there named Lloyd Braun. Okay. See any of those Seinfeld episodes? It's just like Kramer's weird friend. No. Anyway, I think we want to name a dog Lloyd Braun. Lloyd Brown.

Right on that. Yeah. Who's this? Oh, that's Lloyd Braun. Boy, Lloyd Brown. The dog? Yeah. Come here, Lloyd Brown.

Go on, Lloyd Brown. Dog's name is Lloyd Braun. Yeah, what's it to you? Does he go by LeBron? No. It's Lloyd Braun. Man, I, Seinfeld's one of those shows that I, I don't think I've ever understood a reference to,

except for, like, no suit for you, or... You think people aren't quoting it, like, culturally? Oh, I feel like people, every once in a while do and want me to know it and I never do like the deep cuts like I'll know like man hands man hands I know close talker stuff like that I don't even know if I know that one very well yeah I know yeah like I said no suit for you what's the one the shirt like when he has the women's shirt I don't be a pirate yeah yeah but like man I don't know a lot of them hello Newman like I know stuff like that yeah but yeah maybe sign

Because it doesn't have a plot, it's hard to really, for me to, like, really get into it. Which you could maybe use a good thing. Yeah. Oh, just flip it on. Just watch any episode. Yeah. Yeah. It's like watching, you know, ridiculousness.

Like, none of them are different than any other ones. There's so many to watch. So it's like, it's very hard to like, a Seinfeld episode is on TV right now. Oh, what season is this? Like, dude, who knows? The thing, bing, bing, that was only on season four. The base was different. Yeah.

I've always loved it, but it's still really love. And yeah, last night's episode was so funny. Rich and I laughed out loud so many times. That's great. Yeah, that's awesome. A dog named Lloyd Braun might be on the way. Lloyd Brown. Have either you guys seen How Not Your Mother?

Love How About Your Mother. Okay, Graydon, like, put me on to a couple episodes. Just like watching with him. Funny show. Yeah. I liked it a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I grew up big, big How Amet Your Mother guy.

That's great. It was so weird the end. But I liked how it was just like never boring. Just like. Very original. Yeah. Next thing, the next thing. It was awesome.

Yes. Yeah, it was fun. Yep. big time had the DVD sets on you know season you know one two three maybe we should make DVD sets of our podcast yes we should yes we should that'd be fun people are buying DVD he's left and right so it's true we got we got a DVD players they're probably almost to the point where it's like oh it's kind of cool and vintage to buy a DVD final kind of yeah you got it on DVD this this is how videos are supposed to be watched time and I got to see some like old

school video technology last night. We were in this like recording studio and photography studio. I mean, he had all sorts of stuff. A guy who's been in production for 30 years. So he's just got everything. I mean, just like an old Windows XP tower. Yeah. And then just like maybe an old TV, but also he's like, oh yeah, like we used to shoot movies on this. This cost 75 grand in 2002. Really? He's like now. And we have been able to use it for 15 years. Just a graveyard of stuff that like in its heyday was top of the line. But he can't get rid of it because it costs 75 grand. great at one point. Yeah, it's like, well, yeah, I'm not going to throw it away. Wow. It was kind of fun seeing that. Yeah, it was super cool. I thought it was just a photography and video

studio and he's like, hey, follow me. And then it is a, I mean, from what I've seen in YouTube videos and movies, it is exactly what a recording studio looks like. Yes. Like that room in the back. Like all those buttons. It's what you record a song in. And like windows into the actual studio, you know, like, it's just like, that's, this is what, this is what a music. This is where Timbaland stood. This is where Jay-Z stood. This is where Jay-Z bobbed his head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never been in, like, a, that much of a, like, it looks exactly like what I thought of recording studio in Hollywood would look like. I feel like that building is very just like what, it's not necessarily all like the modern stuff, but it's all very professional and well.

It was like, yeah, what a guy in his, like, however old he is, would just like, that would be his studio, very, everything you need, but nothing that's like modern. Like, I feel like that's why it looked like that, like the studios that you've seen. Yeah. Because it's like, I've been in one, I've been another recording studio is more just like chill and modern kind of. But it was like, yeah, this is like what you, the traditional recording studio. It was super cool.

There is like this like change happening. I feel like right now in a lot of industries where like technology is getting so good that you don't need what you used to need. You don't really need a recording studio to make a song anymore and you don't need a whole studio to make a video anymore. You don't even need a green screen to like, you know, get a new. background in your video anymore. Like, it kind of stinks for these people who have, like, built their house on,

like, these studios and these, you know, whatnot, but it's still really cool. When their big value is in all the gear they have, or, like, the cool technology. Yeah. It's too bad when it ages out. A TikTok filter can kind of do that. Or even the knowledge of it. Like, they had to learn so much about how to use the software, use this thing. It's like, well, watch this.

I'll just click something in this AI thing that I'm doing a free trial of, and it's working just fine. Right. Okay. Yeah. Spent 75 grand on mine. Yeah, it was the, we're doing a big, like, sale and email promo and everything is week, because this is like the two-year anniversary of when Matt, from Friday, sent us the DM

and everything. So I had an idea to like, let's dress up, let's get birthday party, let's get a cake, let's get a big two, and had time to take some pictures of us. And we took a bunch of other pictures and stuff last night in the studio. Because we've been using, like, the same thumbnail photos for about a year now. And Timon's like, I'm so sick of editing the same photos. Can we please, like, please let me take more. pictures of you. Yeah. So we did that last night, which is fun. It was great. Uh, I'll give you the, I'll give you the ingredients. Tell me what the meal is. Sure. Scott Peck is there. Okay. There is a massive JBL speaker there. All right. We don't really need audio because we're just taking

pictures. And last thing, Scott's got his phone and internet access. Sure. What does he do with all this? Oh, he was like, we got to have something to set the vibe right. And what does he set the vibe with? Mike Teezy. Pit bull. Pit bull. We were kind of, he was like, Joe, you're not like, should I put the pit bull on and then you start to realize that's eight straight songs of pickball pit bull yeah he did it yep yeah it was just straight straight pee yeah he went yeah he pushed pee yeah and did not push anything else afterwards yeah we just pretty much exclusively listened to pit bull for two two hours last night with this guy this old guy he was in and out okay and great guy pit bull advice oh pit bull um super nice dude i guess i still never met pit bull but yeah his music um there was one song that i'd kind of forgotten

about. International love. I think Chris Brown's in it. Otherwise, I kind of knew what I was in for and felt moderate about it. Okay. It didn't, it didn't, like, bother you, but it didn't, like, really make you have a better time. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. That's a good way of something it up. It was like, it was like, I don't know. Yeah, that was a good way to describe it. Scale of one to ten, what was the volume like? Six to six and a half. I would have said four and a half. Okay, not that long years. Well, I mean, compared to what that JBL has got to be able to bump out. It was probably a two. Who's bringing the JBL?

Just in there. Okay. And Scott's like, I got to connect to this. I have to pit bull. To be fair, the owner, like, did say, like, oh, feel free to play, he, like, brought it up multiple times, like, play some music. Seriously. He's probably like, I spent a lot on this JBL. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty big JBL. Yeah. More than a half. That's not.

I feel like if it's pit bull, you got to go a little bit higher. Like, if you're going to listen to pit bull, you don't listen to pit bull, like, in the background as you're, like, driving with your friend having a solid conversation. It was a reasonable pit bull level. Yeah, I don't think we could have gotten any louder and still got work done or like still been able to talk about it.

Which is maybe my point is like I don't know if pit bulls is the kind of music you can get work done to unless it's like getting pumped up for some work. You know? Let's go. Come on. All right now side to side back back back to back. Back to back. Far ball.

Whatever. If anyone in kid city needs a podcast recorded, it'll do it for you over there at Real Media. media. Overland Park. Okay. Yeah. They're legit.

Very, very legit. How'd you find him? It's, uh, Isaac's roommate, Briley's dad. Okay. Nice. Bob. Brad. Brad.

Brad Burrow. Yeah. Double Bs. Big Bs. Briley's little brother's name is puppy. Yeah, it is. That's fun. Yeah.

As I truly, that's not as given Christian name, but I think that's what I think called. Hey, old puppy. I'm, I'm currently. going back and forth in my head right now, whether I want to say something or not. But there is a man in... Mr. Panther 23. In Rachel's family,

his name is Peter, who goes by PeeP. What do you want to say beyond that? Is that all you want to say? That's all I want to say. How's Peter doing these days? Peter's doing great. He's in our fantasy league.

Okay. PPR? Man, that we're talking about. PP and our fantasy league. Yeah, it just threw me off when I met him. There's a couple of people in family. Just called him peepee.

I'm pretty intrigued to see if Henry, like Rosie exclusively calls Henry Baby, like has never used the word Henry. Like his name to her is baby. And I'm like, are you ever going to grow up to be baby driver? I honestly, like part of me is like,

that's not, I don't want him to be baby the whole time. I like it. I know, dude. Baby. That's your real name? Baby.

so good so it's got a good ranger's email I was like oh no do we get it wrong again no it's good we're good we're fine brings the table she said good job good job back to the table back to the table

well that's fun yeah I went to the little studio last night had a good time almost boys anything else nowhere that happened not really I'm just pit bull just pit bull and just pick bowl really

just taking a bunch of pictures pickle one thing you don't think about when you see a picture of somebody like with one of those like party things like you blow and you see a picture you don't think about the fact that like during the picture they have to be blowing the whole time.

It's pretty funny like a pretty funny sound when it's like a bunch of... Hold on, hold on, keep that there. Move to the left, move to the left a little bit. There we go. Actually, Rachel moved that light up. There we go. Yes, guys. And one of the candles went out.

One of the candles went out. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Yeah, that was perfect. That's exactly. Yeah. It's pretty funny when you got like several guys all doing those things, taking pictures.

Brad walked in in the middle of it. What are you guys doing? Nothing to see. Don't worry about it. I would to pick up a cake from Price Chopper, local grocery store here. As one does. Like a good sized,

standard sized sheet cake. Sure. What's it run you? I would call it less than standard size. No, sorry, I'm going to ask about the big, like the bigger one. Yeah, because I end up getting a smaller one. Right.

Are we talking custom or just like one that's right there? No words. Just cake. Ready to purchase or did you order in advance? Ready to purchase. And you said this is normal thickness. Yeah, normal thickness. Macbook size.

Feeds how many? Feet up. Ish. I'm trying to get some. What? It's normal size to you. That's so subject. Feeds two Isaac McDonald's.

Yeah. Feeds. I mean, how hungry is one size? I'm having 20 people over a birthday party. Is this the cake I get? Yeah, that's great. Yeah, every person probably get one size. Sorry, that's such a hard question to answer.

Feed, it's like, it's not the main meal, so I don't know if it feeds. Snacks, snacks, how many? Like, who's going to get full from that? From Price Chopper, dude, I know the case can get crazy. I'll go. Try to get it right. Don't butter my biscuit.

Don't be like $7. What? It's higher than that? Thanks, dude. Try to nail it. A good size cake. No customization. Refrigerated yet, not an ice cream cake.

$55. Good guess. $48.99. Okay. I couldn't believe the price of a cake. Dude, Rachel got that cake for Catherine, that Whole Foods cake.

Oh, who knows how much that was? Catherine's like, we have to eat all that. It was crazy. Is it really expensive? I think it was like 50 bucks or something for that time. And that's a tiny cake. Beautiful.

That feeds six. It was a good cake, but it was really good cake. Chantilly blueberry something. Yeah, you want to treat yourself. You got a, you got to raise at work or something.

Yeah. And maybe I'm off on that. But like, always want a, uh, uh, ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. That's like my, my big thing for birthdays every time. And they're expensive. They're like 35, 40 bucks, I think. Yeah, a berry chantilly cake. Oh, man. It's good. It's so good. What was it say? Uh, I just looked at images. Oh, okay. Yeah, it looks exactly like the cake I ate. Okay, but 4899. Yeah, 49. And that's price shop. Holy crap. Yeah, you're not getting like, like some, I mean, a lot of these places have like custom

bakeries and like high-end everything. There's just more than I thought. So I opted for the small cake. Make your own cake, you know? I should have. Yeah, next time. But anyway, took some birthday pictures. It was fun.

That's great. That's great. I had a thought that I forgot to talk about last week about the South Dakota trip with Isaac. We're driving back to the canteena. We're kind of low on gas. I think we're going to get... The canteen.

Yeah, we're probably 40 miles away. We have 50 miles to empty. and Isaac goes, oh, dude, once you get to empty, you have, and how many miles do you think he said? I've heard, like, 10 to 15. Okay. And he's like, oh, you know. I think I've heard up to 30 or something like that. Isaac goes, oh, you have at least 50 miles after.

And I was like, what? That's so much to risk. He's like so confident. That's so many miles. You have so much more. I think you have two or three gallons more. And to his credit. I think he said he watched a YouTube video about this.

But I'm like, dude, I would never, like, imagine how dumb you would feel if it hits zero. And then you're like, no problem. I got 40 more miles. Perfect. You'd be like, it warned me for 40 miles. It said empty the whole pot. And I saw so many places I could have done this. But he was like, no, you're totally fine.

And to his credit, we filled up the gas tank. And I have like a big old 36 gallon tank. And I think we filled it up with like 32 gallons. So it's like, see, there's still four. I'm like, but how, what if there's like something on the bottom that doesn't let you fill it up? I don't know how it works. You know, when you fill up your gas tank and you like, you can push in some more gas afterwards. You're not filling up all the way to 30.

Yeah, you get a little. So I was like, whatever. But I thought that was kind of a hilarious. Like, everybody knows this. Dude, you got 50. And finally he's like, okay, maybe 30. I'm still like, if that's the case, I can't imagine anybody running out of gas. How do you run out of 30 more?

You have to not pay attention. attention, or you have to have Isaac in the car. It's like, dude, don't stop. It's embarrassing if you stop. It's, it's unbelievable. It's only been 35 miles since it hit zero. Yeah. Don't stop, dude.

Have you guys, I mean, I've let it go to zero a few times. Right. But like, I'm pulling into the gas station as it hits zero. Most of the time, I just not worth chancing it. Yeah, I don't know, zero. Like, are we counting zero is just like when the light comes on? No. Or like when you see it at zero.

It's like if your car has, yeah, miles remaining. yeah the newer cars have yeah like a gauge oh yeah wait mine has miles remaining i i see like past i don't know i think i've like thought of zero as yeah i'm just gonna like act like that is the limit like i don't think i've ever like gone past that because if if you run out of gas with zero miles left the car's gonna be like i told you dude that's i have one gauge for this i've been telling you this at 50 miles at 25 miles and now at 15 and that zero like wait yeah i I've been picturing this as like, oh, you know, you have like the little like gauge like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you see it get to E like maybe oh, you have like how many more miles then. But I'm like when it gives you an estimated mileage, I'm like, I trust that. Now you're, now you're at zero like, yeah, I'm not going to push the limits of that. And you said 30 initially, but you're, you're taking that back. I guess, yeah. Like I think for some reason when I see the, when I see the exact number that's like changing my mentality. Like, yes. That is zero.

As it should. I don't expect the car to give me a ton of. miles once it hits zero miles remaining correct that's nice of it to give me like one or two it's like when hostess is like it'll be 30 minutes when it's actually only 20 i like that yes that's a great psychological hack but the car i don't need that a ton it's it's nice you do it but i don't need 30 extra miles let's transition to that thought real quick did you feel like back in the day i don't know springfield might have been different than aletha zios man it was popping every where you went like apple bees was always like 45 minutes hour wait now it's like if you wait

more than five minutes somewhere it's like unbelievable go somewhere else do you feel that way like like did you feel like back in the day when you go to a restaurant they'd be like i mean it's like a two hour wait here like two hours we got to go somewhere else i'm trying to reach back in my memory bank here i do feel like it wasn't uncommon like even it's like sunday afternoon after church yes it was like there's still a wait yeah like out the door like okay like we'll drop mom off and she'll like walk in there and see how much how long the way is and if it's short enough then we'll park yeah she says 30 minutes but she really wants Ryan's. Nowadays, you go to Red Robin and you're waiting more than 10 minutes.

It's like, what's going on at Red Robin? Higher more. Right? Do you feel that? Yeah, I wonder what the cause of that is. People eating out less or just more restaurants in general. Yeah, maybe more like fast casual, like the Chipotle's and the Paneras and that of the world that are taking some of that business.

I don't know. You ever had to wait very long time at a restaurant? Yeah, I don't think you ever had like a crazy weight that I can think of. I don't know if I've been, like, observing it for long enough to, like, know to compare, like, when I was younger. I don't know. Like, these days, if you go to a Chili's, there's no chance you're waiting an hour at Chili's. Never, no. But back in the day, maybe there's just not as many options back in Olathe compared to what they are now.

But, like, it was unbelievable. You had to wait so long. So, anyway. That's a hostess talk. That's been hostess talk. Do we have any more hostess? Twinkies. Is that hostess?

ding don't think I have any more hostess talk okay good I have a I'm an announcement to make to the ghosties I'm now accepting new haircuts oh dude go to my guy what why why aren't you know everyone I go to Clint sorry sorry sorry this is what I mean I like new styles oh I'm not like disappointed in my current haircut thing I'm just saying like I don't know I've been wearing my hair the same way for a while but it's like your signature it's my signature yeah what are you what are you trying to go I don't know Brad I I think this is fun. I think it's fun to do it.

Really, the guy that changed his hair like seven times in the last four months thinks it's fun. Just, what if I'm missing something better out there? Yeah, but what if you mess it up bad? What if I do? I'm not really a position where I need to take a lot of chances with my hair, but I just, I don't know. Dude, go to a Barber Academy.

No, no, no, no. Terrible, terrible advice. Seriously? Seriously. Barber Academy, the people that are just learning how to do it? Wait, tell me why this is terrible advice. They're the most careful and most, like walking you through every single step I've ever seen

have any, and I've never seen them to do a bad haircut. Okay. To be fair, it sounds like you've been. I don't even know what a barber academy is. I guess I'm thinking cosmetology school. And I'm thinking of like a girl who's learning how to highlight girl's hair, but also it's like, yeah, I can cut a guy's hair. And it's like, you don't cut guys hair. Okay. Maybe barber.

Main, what is it? Headlines, Barber Academy and Olathe. That was the first one that popped up. Probably a good discount too. Yeah, as far as I know, it's all dudes in there. And they're all like just learn how to cut guys' hair. Okay. So they are, and training. Yeah, but.

Yeah. It's an interesting recommendation. I, I, based on my experience and knowledge, I recommend it. But hey, if you don't want to, it's okay, it's $10, too. It's so cheap. Yeah, that's crazy cheap. For a good haircut. The two cheap, Jake, Jake's like, uh, $10.

Jake used to go to Great Clips forever and now he's like, ah, I can't. It's so much better than great clips. Even just for the environment alone, it's so much better. It's just so much more. Just think about how good the environment's going to be. I'm okay paid $10 for a haircut. It's not that. It's just like,

If I'm going to try something new, I don't think I want it to be $10. Yeah. Because it might be new for that guy, too. Sir. I'm just, you know, I'm just open. Just like, I have a lot of hair. Everyone's always complimenting it. Yeah.

Well, let's see what the good Lord gave me. I just made this up myself. Who knows what else is out there? Would you ever want to do? We've landed on the moon. What would we grow it out? That's one of the options. Yeah.

I'm accepting all options. I am Chad Powers. You can look like him. I'm accepting all options Okay, what else do we think I'll grow a mullet I'll shave the sides Well, I don't know

What the other options are I feel like I feel like you gotta be you gotta toe the line I struggle with this sometimes too Of like time and terror looks cool If you did that hair It's a cool guy She's young you're too You're getting to the point where it's like

You might look too old for some of these haircuts Yeah you know we're starting to get some some Some age in my face I play pickleball for a living mainly So it's like I don't need to look crazy cool. Yeah, I think if it was grown out in any way, it'd be like just kind of all over.

It'd be like a general grown out a little bit. Maybe it's like a, I don't know the name of any hairstyle. But like. Mop bucket. Mop. Yeah, you'd go for the mop. I could go to like a dog groomer. Yeah.

Give me the main. Give me the. I'm just open to it. Let's start a thread on the Facebook group. Throw some pictures in there. Favorite guy styles. Maybe I'll try it out. Rachel's not going to prove of any of this by the way

She's very that's the thing Like she's like why take don't do anything Don't ever cut it just it's good Did I tell her something about her hair Yeah and oh we fight Oh we fight Hair's hair's really that that You know dividing line before you guys

Uh huh yeah I'm trying to think of I mean I've seen you with other hair None of it looks as good as this one So thanks guys I don't think I have seen you with other hair I've seen just this hair but sweaty That's like the only variety I've seen. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Yep. Flat wet. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think

Okay, can I tell you guys what I saw on Lifetime Fitness yesterday? Yes, please. Overall, it was a pretty, pretty normal day

at Lifetime until I got done cold plunging. So now I'm like in the locker room, just kind of drying off changing clothes um i would say first thing that happened was just like looking at way more nudity than normal not a huge deal this was not a story otherwise but just you know i don't know it's part of it like i they've got that spot where you can like throw your shorts in to dry him off or whatever and i can hear a guy using it he's been using it a couple times in a row now i'm thinking oh he's probably about done so i go to get behind him in line and he has like no towel nothing just like completely naked power move just there just hanging out waiting for it to drive like wow And he's, like, pretty old.

So it, like, this is a bit of a shock. Like, all right, no, no worries all to kind of hang by the wall. Yeah. And this guy's just, like, speed running this, like, closed dryer thing. I mean, just, like, take it up. He probably did eight or nine times. It does it so well the first time. Yeah, I was like, I mean, it's never going to be perfectly dry.

Just throwing the sack and go home. Yeah. And so then I was like, wow, okay, I'm going to go back to my locker, get dressed a little bit. All right, I'm going to go again. Now that guy is still there, but now there's two. There's not a naked man waiting. in line behind the naked man using it yeah so like good for them they're very we are yeah i've now seen and you're fully clothed and now i'm fully clothed and so yeah just like wow

i don't normally see this much nudity on a wednesday this is great um no big deal then i go back to my locker and uh again i'm like this is not going to work anytime soon and the guy who was trying to dry his shorts off then goes and he's got he's got the locker next to me so he's like doing some things and then he moves behind me and I hear a noise and I look over and I kid you not hand on the Bible he is now below he's taken the publicly available blow dryer right at the garage oh yeah just going crazy on himself oh yeah under carriage everything I'm like what in the world is anyone else this this guy is just going to town on himself with the blow dryer yeah the jokes that were coming to mine. I was like, I can't say any of these on the podcast. I don't know what to do

with these, but holy cow. Yeah. And I just, is that okay? First question, are you allowed to do that? I'll say this right now. Yeah, it's okay. You've done it? I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. There's a joke you're supposed to do. I'm not saying. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what? You would use the public. blow dryer. I don't know. Who said that? I don't know.

You said that? They have a thousand towels that you can use. A thousand towels. Use it as many as you want. There's no limit on the amount of towels you can use. I think it crosses the line once you use the blow dryer. Towel doesn't sound as fun.

It's not as fun. Crosses what line? I'm not here to say the towel is more fun. I'm here to say don't use the blow dryer on your crotch. It's hot, too. It's so hot. When you dry your hair, do you put it on? Like, do you touch your head with it?

It's not doing any touching. I bet this guy's old. I don't know if I could fully trust that it didn't touch anything. Okay, well, that's fair. If you, if you, if you think that he's touching. I just don't, I just don't think, I think don't. I think don't. Listen, I, I've seen it happen.

I'll say that. I've seen it happen. I think it's slippery slope. Okay. Dude, a few to meet times. Yeah, you slip on your slope. yeah yeah you start they don't let you near the shopbacks at home depot this guy's got a real problem that's that's suction that's not as much blowing as it is

you know it's got you can do both that's true yeah I have a shop back you know what's funny is the guys who I the 1 800 junk guys that I had like run through my garage they took half my shop back so I just don't have anymore oh you don't have like they threw away the base I have the hose no base they threw away the base yeah that's the thing you need that's the one of the main things that's like the so like to sell it to this guy lifetime i got a hose i got industrial a hose for you would love it buddy yeah oh yeah i've seen people do that for sure i didn't like it and also just there's a little bit of just lack of awareness he's got the locker next to me he's bending over while i'm sitting down yeah like i understand like

hey we're in a locker room like away things things are going to be there but like yeah it's still like just because we're in a locker room doesn't mean there's not you don't get to bend over while I'm sitting you understand exactly what you're doing yeah yeah old men it does feel like there's there's a threshold that gets crossed and it's just like I don't care anymore here I am and that does bring up a conversation with this like there's a lot of aspects of being an old man that I look forward to okay being racist being weird to women on all those things yeah like that part will be fun um telling women their shoes are untied when they're wearing sandals great that's fun yeah um No, I'm joking about that.

No, that one's a joke. That one's a joke. But I'm like, oh, no. Now, this is a new side of being an old man I haven't seen before. Oh, you're not ever going to be that old man. And I hope not. No. But that's what I'm like, oh, yeah.

Oh, my vision's going to get worse. My hearing's going to get worse. I'm going to use a blow dryer on myself Wednesday at 1 p.m. I don't want to become that old man. You will never. I got a slight glimpse of it. And it looked like he was trying to launch a hot air balloon. launch a hot air balloon and did it did it get launched it did not is too much hot air balloon though

it's the air dynamics yeah keyword hot yeah you don't do that when it's 90 degrees outside it's humid yeah use the towel dude there's so many towels it's one of the things i love about hotels and airbnbs and lifetime fitness is i can use as many towels as i want i use a towel for each foot yes it's true i can't wait to go there sometime with you and observe somebody else doing that Follow story, I know he was entertaining, but then I went to like the cafe And I've been bringing my laptop and getting work done And through the AirPods, through the noise cancellation,

I'm hearing this guy behind me, just a business boy. Oh man, he's fired up on business. He's got a call and he's getting after it. I heard a sentence and I wrote it down. He said, yeah, when I joined Lifetime, I thought I would feel wealthy here. But yeah, I kind of fit in. It's like, who are you talking to?

Why would you say something like that? What are you trying to say about me? What are you trying to say about Brad? So he's just judging, yeah, based off what? What does he feel like? I think he's like, normally most rooms I go in, I'm the richest guy in their room. But lifetime, I kind of fit in because everyone's so rich here. I think is how I interpreted it.

Right, but like, is he like asking people? He looks at W-9s. What's your net worth, dude? W-2s. So where do you live? Okay, that's what zip code is that? Is it Mission Hills? And are you like, would you say like a normal-sized house there?

Did you inherit the house or you buy 20% down? right is that your only property that you own or no okay dependents okay it just is so you're in that tax bracket i am too yeah okay fair enough i guess they fit in here like yeah are you are they judge like dude everyone here is in lulu lemon it's like okay yeah once heard that sentence i went to transparency mode and then he didn't really give me any other nuggets other than just like trying to close this sales deal but yeah i was like i thought when i joined you i would feel

pretty wealthy but i'm not that much turns out people are just normal people man i don't like you What a sentence does it? I would love to witness, like, almost like have, like, eye contact with somebody else at a coffee shop who also has AirPods in, who also, like, changes to transparency mode. Because, like, there's a guy equidistant from us, and we both heard him say something crazy. And we've all done it, dude. We've all done the transparency mode. And we like, no- And we like, whoa, let's hear what's going on here.

It'd be like, yeah, we're at a coffee shop and time is to something crazy. And we both. We're just like, yeah. What's going on over here? gotta hear this yeah every once in a while have you ever felt desire and urge to like butt into people's conversations almost never me neither until recently i've started to be like should i say something's right if i get involved with this what kind of conversation i'm trying to remember specific there was like an argument at one point in a parking lot at costco it was cusco

costco's a war domestic yeah these are things that are like should i interject yeah a little and and like and I'm like okay but and I don't know the context of any of this so it's like how much and it wasn't like some terrible thing but it was also just like are they they're okay verbal we're good yeah like I was like should I at least look back there and then this this guy the other day what you're going to take this verbal to physical um this guy the day oh at McDonald's like yelling to his he looked like an old guy I don't know if he was talking to another old friend or a younger guy, I'm not sure, but it was kind of like, it felt like maybe jokingly cussing at him, but also like maybe he was actually mad about something.

It's so hard to know. And then he did it kind of again. And so I, the second time, I did like make eye contact with them and just be like, hey, at least I can, FYI, I can hear you and I don't like what you're doing. Yeah. That's all I did with it. But I don't know, I feel a little bit more something. Maybe it's the dad in me.

Like, I don't know. There was one time I was like it, I think he made sure it was for South or something. and I like heard like a first date happening and I felt I was like I'm never in a million years going to do this but there's a part of me that once is like hey I've heard enough not gonna work out let me just like be the mediator for you I bet one of you does since this but you're you got stuck here for another hour let me just go ahead and say just you guys go ahead and head out yeah I'll take your place dude you seem nice you like sports let's talk chiefs timing you mentioned how about your mother have you seen the episode about the lemon law

yet I don't know that I think I don't watch for season I don't think so we were in like maybe the first of season two or something like that for it's with within those time periods, but, yeah, Barney has a theory of like, like, if you buy a car, you have X amount of days to return it because it's a lemon. And so he's like, in other words, like, if within the first five minutes of a date, you can tell, like, this isn't going anywhere. You got this grace period. Lemon law. Like, thank you. Good to meet you. See you. Yeah. That's nice. I get your money back. Yeah. I can't remember what coffee shop it is, but where I've met with Johnny, you for a couple times, like work on stuff. Hey, timing. I always,

I feel like I always both times have overheard what I think is a date And both times I'm like, ugh No, no chemistry. Yeah. I wonder how I would have sounded on my first date with Catherine. Like I wonder if it was like, oh, this guy's killing it right now. Or if it's like, oh, they are, they're not doing it as well. Like, you know, like maybe it's just first date energy in general is always like that.

So she made me like first date when you're 22 compared to like first date if you're 30 or something like that. It's probably a little different. You don't have as much to talk about when you're younger, I feel like. I told you they, like I heard somebody on a, what sounded like at first date calling this girl bro. Oh, yeah.

Being like, I don't think that's the right thing to do, man. Like, oh, bro, yes, so good. Is that normal? But maybe this girl loved it. Hey? We don't know. We don't know.

We, there's no way of knowing. We don't. No. Your schmarsh. Shmarsh. Let's do it. Explain how. this s'mores, what's the smores, Jake?

Oh, yeah. We haven't done anything like this before, have we? Maybe we just talked about it for a wrong. I wonder your smores where you guys are not in on it. You still vote, though. We've done this where Brad is not in on it. That's what we did. I thought we did like a weird iteration. Yes. Yeah, that was fun. That was fun.

scooter brand From back of the day Razor Yeah they're still in stores I just listened To the test of time It was so funny dude Isaac drove like the very last

Little stretch From South Dakota home Let's do a few different Podcast episodes And one of them I think was how I built this With the Razor scooter Oh really

But it was all He like went from that He went back and for between that and a Theo Vaughn episode with Mark Zuckerberg. Oh, that was not that good of an episode. Really? And the whole time, it's like, I would just wake up every, I was nervous for Isaac to fall asleep. Because all it takes is like one little non-turned. So like every 10 minutes, I just wake up and be like, you good?

Hey, you know, buddy. Yeah, I'm good. Okay. And good for you. And I would wake up, I mean, I don't even know if it was good for me. It was just paranoid, honestly. Yeah. But every time I wake up, Theo Vaugh, it would be.

say it's something else, just so red. Like, what am I listening to right now? It's like affecting my dreams. Then all of a sudden it was, yeah, how I built this about Razor. And I think he also went into maybe the ripstick or something like that. Either ripstick or hoverboards or something like that. They also, like, dominated something.

Once again, didn't really listen to all of that. Yeah, you're sleeping. Yeah. Yeah, Funchmore's. Let us know your thoughts. Sorry if I gave it away. And how they go inside with my haircut. all right i'm going to say this add in seven words or less that's it so think about how much we're

Magerosters.com. Looking for more. Hey, let's have a little roundtable session. Or just give me some feedback on this. Rachel and I had a conversation the other day. We were like, all right, we did the run of mile every day. This year was not buying any clothes in addition to trying to get shredded. What's our challenge going to be?

Let's just do this every year now. Like something that's hard for us. And what we're thinking, this is jumping it up a notch. We're going to try to, we're thinking no, like, no treats, no sweet treats all of 2026. I think you can do it. It's got to be tough. I don't think it's going to be tough. It's going to be so good.

yeah for sure you're gonna like have one someday and be like holy cow that's so sweet probably that kind of how we feel about soda now a little bit like are you saying like even like because for a while it was like no sugar but you were still having like it's like no added sugar right yeah I think this is like I don't I don't have to clarify it but it's like anything that feels like a sweet treat yeah like this is like you need to have your meals and you can only I think it was like we were differentiating like yes you can have an assayable but no Nutella like don't put any, I think that's crossing a line. Honey, I don't know. Honey's probably fine. That doesn't feel like I'm, oh, then you'll be fine. Have a ton of honey. I mean, how much,

that has tons of sugar in it. I mean, good sugar. Yeah, but like, yeah, a ton of fruit. I could do that every day. Honestly. Yeah. I, I, I gave up sweets one, like, for a, like, for a month one time in college. Like, I went, I did like a different thing every month. And, yeah, after, once you like tell yourself like it's over it's just not happening it's just not happening the more ice cream yeah it's fine yeah it's when you're like oh i'll only have it on saturdays and then it's like well okay but it's friday night and everyone else's going out for ice cream might as well just like i just won't have it Saturday but i'll have a Friday instead and then all of a sudden you like make the exceptions but if it's just like nope no i just don't do that yeah you just have fruit and you fruit will be like

like we talked about that the other day of like who doesn't like fruit like it's very interesting for I'm going to say, oh, I hate strawberries. Gross. Strawberries? Yeah, grapes. Oh. I mean, that would be for sure. I'm not trying to say it's not hard. Maybe I'll do it with you guys, though.

That'd be kind of fun. That'd be fun. Why not? Because, like, it's not the same thing, but like, yeah, one year I gave up pop back in the day. And like, once, because my sister challenged me and then I did it. And I was like, I'm good. I don't want it. Yeah.

And then, of course, got back on it pretty hard. But yeah, like, it's fine. Yeah. So go for it, dude. I think it'll be tougher than just not buying clothes, but it'll be, I think we'll be happy we didn't. So it's gonna be tricky.

Yeah. That's what we're thinking. 2026, feel free to join us. We got time to figure it out. I think that's great. Because fruit, like I said, is good. It has, like you can make some stuff that tastes real good.

Like a smoothie, like that's... Honestly, yeah, might be a big home smoothie year for us. Yeah. Get a ninja creamy. Go off. But is that then like... Are we circumventing the rules a little bit?

Yeah. It's like, yeah, my feet are on the ground, but we're still, you know, circumventing the rules. SBU dorms. Yeah, the door is open. I don't know. I don't know what you guys did. That's fun, though. What do you think, Tom?

You going to do anything in 2026? Probably not. Probably won't do a lick of nothing. Probably just a lot of sitting around. I don't know. I haven't thought about like, you know, I should, I should come up with a challenge because I was in the gym for like two months consistently back in the day and it just fizzled. It fizzled so hard and so quick.

I forgot about that. What do you think made it fizzle? Me going to Palm Springs for a trip. I think that's always me too. It's always like just getting out of the routine and then all of a sudden it's, it's, that needs to be the thing that people learn or teach, if nothing else, just be a motivational speaker that teaches you how to get back. Get back on the horse.

Get back on the horse. I said this a couple months ago. I was like, I think starting going from zero to one is easier than like getting back on. Once I went to Asia and then getting back, it was so much harder. It is because it's like, yeah,

how much do you forgive yourself? How much do you like be like, all right. Yeah, I'm back from China, but I'm still tired tomorrow. It's only a three day week. So I got a lot of stuff.

And then, yeah, you just all of a sudden you justify it. You like, yeah. Okay, maybe next week. And then it's like,

oh, this came up. And I wasn't, Bo had his appendix out. that really threw us for a loop like well okay we'll get back into it there you know and then all of a sudden it's like ah we're pretty far gone it's really hard it feels way harder to start now yeah when you start you have all this motivation prevalent enough thing that like I yeah I just I know that's exactly when it stopped it was like I think I got back and that Monday I did go and that was the end of

it all well even like uh like I was doing pretty good at like walking weighted vest walking before Gulf Shores. Then after Gulf Shores, I just feel like I have struggled to get back into that. And a part of it's like, okay, South Dakota, big build, like that was huge on my radar. But also that's just justification of like, well, that's why I can't do it.

It's like, well, you could have. I also watched a documentary of the Cowboys six parts or whatever that was. Like, I think I could have walked if I wanted to. So anyway, that's fun. Um, little, uh, little random thing from my week this past Wednesday, I believe.

I went to my niece's, uh, cheerleading game that she was cheerleading for a middle school football game. And along with cheerleading, she was singing national, the national anthem, Okapella, whoa. Her and one other girl, uh, the girl did the harmony. And I, I mean, I was like, this, this could very well go poorly. The national anthem was a hard song. Oh, yeah.

By yourself. She did great. They did a great job singing it. The other girl felt like, you know, when you harmonized timing and like, well, first all, the harmony's harder. Yeah. Like when somebody else is harmonizing with you, it almost can mess you up on the melody. Yeah, for sure.

So there was a few notes where I was like, oh, maybe you heard her too much, whatever. But I looked over at all the boys that were on the team while the National League that was going on. And none of them were like looking at each other. Like, they, that's a good indication of, like. like this is good like they actually did a good job this is not like anything that's like oh man they're not laughing no she did awesome so i was proud of her and then we watched this high or middle school football game and we left a half time and they score the home team their team was up 38 to zero whoa this dob i i started kind of in my head room for the other team because i felt so bad for

bonner springs it's like dang they're just getting at first play of the game kick off spring hill kicks it off to bonner springs they kick it off to like the same second line of, you know, return people and the guy fumbles the ball and, you know, Spring Hill picks it up and scores a touchdown like three plays later. I was like, okay, one of those games. Are middle schoolers in Kansas City? Are they going shotgun yet? They're going shotgun. No snap count either. At least Spring Hill. Yeah, just going for it. Good for them. Um, yeah, pretty cool jerseys nowadays. They had like, uh, ACDC playing before the game. like they have

the numbers like painted on the field like 50 40 like I don't think we had that in middle school I think we had them on like the sides like the little like pylon looking things that said 30 yards we only had one field so it's like

oh you played the high school yeah I just played the high school one yeah so it was pretty good probably for all that stuff like they had an announcer that would like announce all the tackles and stuff I was like we didn't have that until high school so I mean some friends got asked to announce the

like a middle school football game back in the day. Okay. And I think it was my friend. I don't think it was me who said this, but it was like fourth and 33. And so, you know, all right. And it's, uh, Stockton Tigers have got fourth in a miracle here.

And we got in trouble for saying fourth in a miracle. I still remember that. Dang. These people laughing. I don't know. It's 43. This guy today, or yes,

the other day, he was like, uh, at the end of one quarter, it is, you know, the stallions, 28, the Broncos, zero. You said it like that kind of, and people kind of laughed. But I'm like, these days, like sensitivity with parents, they're going to get, like, people are going to get mad about that.

You're going to get some emails. My sister also pointed out the middle school's principal, and I said to myself, we are getting old if that's the principal. Like, that guy looks younger than I do. like that guy yeah that guy looks like he's 27 years old yeah you could probably become a middle school principal

as soon as you get your like degree in it like as soon as you get your like masters yeah go for it go for it so it was kind of wild I was like that's the principal of this school that you're sending your child to he's got to know anything yeah he doesn't even yeah

I was gonna say something but there's more oh yeah Anyway, but it was, it was fun. I took the three older kids, and they enjoyed it. We got some popcorn, and Beau was just shoveling the popcorn in his mouth. Oh, yeah. Chill out, brother. Rachel and I had a little date night going, we went to just watch high school volleyball,

and we were looking forward to shoveled popcorn in our mouths. No concession stand at the place that you called the crap hole. That's right, the east. Brad's on my location. She goes, what are you doing that crap hole? I was like, oh, we're just taking in the local volleyball scene. No concessions. not that I could find

and we know that no one is walking in with concessions maybe that was a Friday night they are all the concession people are at the football game yeah volleyball just don't get the good concessions what happened to this country yeah yeah

I don't know they had some decent concessions nothing crazy some candy bars pop water yeah we still sell in the classics Pina M snickers sour punch straws anything new I didn't really pay attention too much of the candy because I knew, like, we're going right before dinner if I get a bunch of candy. We can only go as far as popcorn.

My wife's not going to love that. So I was the responsible dad there. And the popcorn bags they gave us, though, they were $1, to be fair. But they were, like, many little paper bags worth of popcorn. Did just fine. But, you know, wasn't crazy. What a full bag. Yeah.

But, yeah, it looked like, yeah, just kind of the classics there. They had big old, like, refrigerators. worth of soda and stuff, but nothing crazy. Bottled soda? Bottled soda. Yeah, that's good concession stand. It's classic. Tim, when you've been to a high school football game? I don't think so.

Nah, you're fine. Not missing. How would, what do you think America versus everywhere? Like, is everyone else have athletics with concession stands like we do? Like, sometimes I just think, like... Yeah, is a concession stand American?

Yeah. And if so, heck yeah. because concession stands are awesome. There's just certain things I'm like, they don't do this in other countries like this. Like I was getting a refill at McDonald's the other day. I was like, you couldn't do this in Spain. It's probably a lot of things just about high school football

that are very American. Even as like that annoying cowbell, like the cowbell is not in Germany. Yeah, that's fair. Probably not. Ringing it before a kickoff. Yeah. Probably not.

Just football in general. Cheerleaders. You're cheerleaders in Europe for anything? That's a good point. I can't imagine German cheerleaders. I can't imagine them either. If so, they'd have them for soccer, football. And I don't think I've never seen soccer cheerleaders.

Nope, Byron Munich. You think they got cheerleaders? Let's hear for the Munich. Munich Unix. Those are the cheerleaders. Munich misses. I don't know. Anyway, America's awesome.

If you're listening to this, you're not in America. Come on over. the water's fine it's great so hey if i were to tell you that there's a christian you know family owned operated uh business it's been around for uh you know over 20 years you would think well chick filet hobby lobby sure all those things and those are good businesses or would you say those are like kind of struggling like i wouldn't trust them titans of industry titans of industry okay titans let's go that way okay clash of the titans okay right heard of it yeah No, I'm going with this.

I do not yet. Flash of the Titans. Uh-oh. Here comes a Titan. It's called pests. It's called, it's called bumble. It's called bad termites. Okay.

It's called spiders. Okay. It's called flies. Okay, that's a Titan coming this way. Here comes a Titan. Here comes a other way. Here comes a clash, and it's called signature pest control. What do they do?

They eliminate. the other titans they clash into clash into them with spray yeah clash into me and kill it right something that i enjoy uh from pest control companies is it's not just like all right unless you have a spider problem don't give them a call what they have done at least here in uh where i live is they they put these things out for like rodent control like mouse control and i will say that has done a job. I have not seen a mouse in the house since they put all those things there. So I think that getting, if you're, if you haven't taken advantage of pest control, specific signature pest control, uh, that's all like city area. Do it before the winter because those mice

are, I mean, goodbye all your bread. And you know it's black widow season in Utah. We've talked about how we do respect spiders, but we don't want them around that much. No. It's like, keep, your distance from those black widow spiders. So respect your distance. Wasp, yellow jackets, black widows, whatever it may be, signature pest control. Fumegas has your back. They, yeah, they treat all the Salt Lake Valley surrounding areas. If you mention the ghost runners, you can get 50% off that initial service or 25% off just a one-time treatment.

So we personally am like, hey, service plans are the way to go. Just kind of keeps you regular. I think that's what they say. Like, hey, we just want to stay regular, right? Just, just. We're seeing you be as irregular. Irregular with your pests. So, yeah, we want, we want people to be.

customers for life for them. They are ghosty owned, ghosty operated business. They're just solid people. So tell Chris at signature pest pro.com that the ghosties sent you there.

Reddit. Reddit. I'm just like, so tonight, it's Lydia's birthday today, my younger sister. Wow. We're going to... Can I be honest,

I didn't know you had a sister named Lydia. Okay. I'm trying to like... Oh, wait, Lydia, the one in the one of the videos. Lydia Lee. Yes, Lydia Lane. Lydia Lane, okay. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out about, like, I might as well say their names. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's her birthday today. So if we're going to Starlight Theater is doing a show of Life of Pie. I'm like, I can't wait to see how they do all that stuff. Like, I'm pretty sure the tiger is like a trumpet, maybe. Like, I'm excited. Oh, cool.

I'm just like curious, like, what are you? Yeah, how are they going to do that? I don't know. Yeah. Because from what I read Life of Pie, I think freshman or sophomore year of high school. Yeah, I've read it too. But I mean, he's basically on that raft with like the whole time. Yeah, and I think it's a musical too.

I'm like, oh, cool. I can't wait to see. I mean, it's like, because yeah, I mean, even the movie, half the movie is on this, on this boat in the middle of nowhere. Like, anyway, I'll report back. Cool. I will report back. I'll report back. I'll report back.

But yeah, I was just curious. I was like, what, how is that going to look? We'll see. You ever been to Starlight? Yeah. It's great. It's cool. Last time I was there, I was seeing come from away,

and it, like, started pouring rain in the last, like, 30 minutes. So everyone, like, runs to the shelters, and I'm like, we're going to take the front seats. Yeah. So we just watched it soaking wet. It was great. And they kept going. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. The show didn't stop. Show must go on. It's awesome. Is Starlight that went over in Independence? No. Independence? Right by the zoo.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know where I saw. One of those outdoor amphitheaters where I got shushed. at an outdoor concert. I bet it was Starlight. Okay. I just kind of forgot the location, maybe.

Yeah. It is like, yeah, kind of like Missouri. Yeah, it's, yeah. It's out that way. It's out that way. It's out that way. It's out that way. Out yonder.

Yeah. Just one little thing. I went to you, I had to return a bunch of Amazon things. I returned about Coles. Y'all ever done that? Yeah. Do y'all have much like affinity

or like feelings towards Coles? Did you go? No, I mean, never really shop there. No. I mean, Coles Cash is a great punchline, but other than that. Growing up, I was, that was like back to school. It was at Coles. Really?

Back to school shop. Did you guys back to school shopping a thing? Probably not for your timing. Not really particularly. I've been in Coles plenty times, though, like with my mom. I just want to know how they make it smell exactly like Coles every time. What are they pumping in there? I love it.

I think it smells great. I think it's something, there's something very unique. Like, you could blindfold me and be like, where are we right now? I'd be like, we're at Coles. And I like it. Must be cool. This is a coals. I can't imagine the smell.

But I'm sure I would recognize it. Yeah. It's like what blend of things makes that smell? Because it's not like a air freshener in the air that's doing this. It's their racks, their clothes, they're something. Right, because you're not smelling, oh, typical clothing department store. You're like, Coles. I think so.

Coals is the only one you know. I was going to say, that was our department store in Olathe. Like we didn't have, you know, Dillards or anything like that. That was more of the mall. Those kind of smell the same, but Coles, Coles did something different. I don't know. And I haven't been to Coles in a very many times recently. And yeah, I returned a bunch of stuff.

And I was like, there's something different about this Coles. And yeah, just brought me back to going shopping with my mom, trying on a bunch of stuff in the dressing room for back to school. The dressing room. I did not like trying stuff on. Me neither, dude. Especially as a big boy, like when stuff didn't fit or like looked weird or like I had to get it really long.

So it was wide enough for me. It was like, I look so stupid in this thing. I was like, we can always hem it. I can hem it up. Those pants are long, I know, but we can make them shorter. No, man. So. I love when a smell takes you back, though.

100%. It's so cool. 100%. How that works. Anyway, that's all I have to say about Coles. Didn't know if you guys had any feelings towards him. That has been Coles talk. That's been Cole's talk.

20 years, Coles Cash. That was a funny, like a funny side I saw on there yesterday. It was like celebrating 20 years of Coles cash. Oh, I was like, this is a funny, like the anniversary of their own currency. Uh-huh. Anyway, if you return stuff to Amazon at Coles, you get 20% off, though, a future purchase. So if you're planning on going to Coles, buy something at Amazon first, return it. That's a nice little deal that got set up.

I think it's a genius thing for them of like, hey, people aren't coming here as much. Let's just force them to come here for Amazon. I thought about it. I was like, 20% off. Should I go find a ridiculous deal on something? Yeah. But no. Anyway, shout out, Coles.

All right, when's the week? When's the week? I built a picnic table on Saturday with Bo. And it was like 90% me, 10%, let's say 5% Bo. But every once in a while, like, near the end of a step, I'd like screw in a screw halfway. And then like, Bo, I need your help on this, you know? Or Bo get, you know, hand me the screws or whatever. And I think he felt like he did enough to feel ownership over it.

And it's pretty fun to like, he like shows people. He's like, I made this. My dad and I made this, like, the screws I put in are the tightest screws, I think. That's what he said. He said that at one point. He said, I think my screws are tighter than yours, dad. I think my screws are the tightest screws. I was like, yeah, probably, buddy, you did a great job.

Yeah, you picked out the best ones. So good. Yeah, we, like, filled all the screw holes with, you know, this putty kind of like stuff before we painted it. And he's like, you can't even see the screws anymore. Puddy took a win. Anyway, so that was fun. And then another win was we got dinner with some friends, like three other couples at this. couple from our church's house this past week. And it was like, it was like 14 kids. It was kind of

great. It was like Will Severn's and his family and then a couple of their families. And it was awesome. It was just like, it was like celebrating the last like good weekend, summer weekend of the year. And just easy. And so nothing too crazy about it, but just a good win. It's just fun to hang out. The kids got to do slipping slides and, you know, water activities and stuff. So, good wins. Nice. Yeah. That's cool. I think my one of the week is here just a couple nights ago, like we've kind of mentioned, it's been super hot here and humid and really nice and warm, but it's like, fall is coming any second now. This is not going to be around forever. Rachel is taking a nap on the couch. It was probably like 530 or 6 o'clock

or something. And I just got this urge. I was like, it's hot outside. We have to go outside. All of a sudden. And so I just like woke Rachel up. I was like, hey, it's time wake up. We could go outside. We could go outside. She's like, what are you talking about? I was like, we got dinner on a patio tonight. Oh, right. Come on. Get dressed. And so, Then we just went, I mean, we didn't go anywhere crazy nights, but just went to like this Mexican restaurant. Fun. And just had to just impromptu date night on the patio.

Nice little sunset. It'll be a great night. That's fun. That's great. Got to go outside. Lenoxa Cactus Grill. Oh, yeah. Espanaca.

I bet you can see a good sunset down there, too. It's great. Nice. She's got outside. Very cool. I went on a walk the other night before dinner with Bo and Henry. I was like, we're going to a boys walk. I don't know.

I was just like, Bo and Rosie were just, Bo and Rosie were just arguing. So I was like, I'm taking. It's probably time for Boy, how do I walk? Yeah, how do I do this? And while we're out, I don't know if you guys were around, but like, it just like had this random, nasty, stormy something. Were you around for this?

I don't know. When was this? A couple nights ago maybe, Wednesday, maybe. And is Tuesday? Oh, yes. Like, I don't know where. Rachel called me. She was stranded.

Garage door went open. The front door was locked. She's like, I have groceries and it's pouring down rain. Yeah, like, it was like, but it was pouring down rain at our house, but we were like a half mile away. it was fine. Huh. But like,

then all of a sudden it like had like these big old things of hail coming down. Whoa. But like we never got hit, but like, and so it started rain on us a little bit.

It was like super windy. But luckily because it was themed boys walk, it was like, no, we're fine, we're boys. We're just, this part of boys walk.

Come on. It'd be good. But in my head, I was like, if this hail gets in worse. Hale's going to hurt. Yeah. Hale's going to hurt the boys.

Hale's going to dent. Henry's head. I love boys walk. So the last. Thank goodness. Yeah, You're right. You weren't home because at the end of the walk, it did start running decently hard. And it was like, I turned onto your street and, like, ran the last, like, quarter mile with the stroller.

On the hot boys. Double stroller with Bow and Henry in there, just running home. So, anyway, crazy time. There's your way to vest. Sprinting home with two strollers. Fair. Yeah. In the rain.

No problem. Looking like Goggins. I had a fun, um, when was just like a shoot with, Scott and Sam Peck and Danielle business partner they're like starting a new company and we did a bunch of content for it

and it was just like good vibes everyone was chill everyone like I don't know it just felt like oh this is how like a shoot supposed to go

oh yeah how was the shoot this morning and he's like here's what I'll say we are very good at what we do I was like oh no oh no what do you mean he was like oh there's just some like I think at one point there was a 30 minute deliberation over like a 60 second piece
