Uh uh oh Ooh I think this tight Beating means that it's going down With some random thoughts And white meat too Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along

Let's have some fun And go ahead Get on your feet Because it's a ghost Of this podcast Everybody's morning You're taking around Ghost on this podcast

We got down and played pickleball a few nights ago. This is the same night as Rachel was like, hey, thank goodness, I need to ask about the 5, 515 thing. We leave and Isaac texts me and Scott about five minutes after we're all left. He's like, did either of you guys, like, mess with my car? I'm like, no, what are you talking about? He's like, I don't know why I thought you would have, but I got back in my truck from playing.

And my seat was all the way down. All the way down. All the way down. And I just couldn't stop laughing. I was like, dude, dirty Mike and the boys had their way. I don't know how he didn't notice it. It's not a big parking lot. But something happened in your truck.

And it will happen again. Whoa. We really don't even have that many good theories. But just like in the two hours we were at the courts, Isaac's seat in his truck. I mean, it's just completely flat. And, like, obviously, he knows it wasn't like that before. It's not even like one of those things like, oh, my front door was unlocked.

Did I do that? It's like, this is so black and white. It wasn't like this. And now it's flat. So what is that? The only thing, I mean, it's just, it's just Isaac. So it's like, there could be some. He could have accidentally not realized he was pressing some button for like 10 seconds.

Isaac. 10 seconds, accidental button press as you're leaving. Yeah. Maybe he's talking to somebody. or maybe something gets locked, like, in between the door. Because it's like, because my kids are, now that's a good theory. Yeah, my kids every once in a while will come up and, like,

climb up and, like, move things around a little. Also, Isaac, it didn't have to be 10 seconds, because any time, whenever Isaac drove my truck, that dude has a, he likes it back far, like the seat. Really? He's, I mean, he's not, like, ghost riding the whip or anything, but he, it's farther back than you should have it, I think. Like, I think that there's a reason he has back problem.

like it's not like i bet he is five seconds a good motor five seconds from being all the way flat i didn't know that about him yeah but yeah it was funny trying to even like think through the theories of like that's so good one option is that you know maybe there's like driver profiles yeah driver driver driver two's profile is all the way down and that somehow got pressed because he does have that i think as he's leaving yeah so maybe we need to test that out driver two is just like wild bitch is so funny he's like nothing was stolen all they did was just someone you know made out in my front seat i still feel violated why is it all the way down or what else did you do in here i don't know what happened oh just all the way lowered all the way down all the way down it is weird

like anytime you just feel like that like i remember back in the day i got my cd stolen and i just felt like the most violated ever it was just like somebody who's in my car yeah i don't like that feeling I've had my car broken into. Yeah. They stole my laundry quarters. See? And this was not 40 years ago. Like four years ago.

Why? You had laundry quarters? You didn't have a laundry quarters? I can't quite think of why. But yes, I did. This is why I lived in KC. Mo. Okay. I don't know why I had laundry quarters.

At KC. Mo House was a lot of people in the house. So maybe it was just faster to go do laundry somewhere else. Maybe it was. It could have been all. Aldi quarters. Could have an Aldi quarters. Jake's not an Aldi guy. Yeah.

If I did it when I was shopping, go in and out, get the fruit leave. Either way, yeah, it's weird when you know someone's been in your car and they mess with stuff, you know,

going through the glove box of a 98 Camry being disappointed. Like, I could have told you if nothing in there. You should have known better, buddy. These napkins.

I remember one time Isaac was in high school. We went to Gates barbecue in my old truck, and this is so dumb, Isaac. laughed about this the other day we get in the truck back in the truck and I'm like I'm so cavalier with stuff like I leave my cars unlocked yeah whatever more than I should but I left the keys in the truck but the truck was still there but we get in and we can't we look everywhere we can't find these keys oh no to the point where I was just like I guess we just got to like call somebody to pick

us up and yeah I think I have another key at home or whatever but I guess somebody stole my key and they're going to come back and get it later and then like yeah I After, like, I don't know, a decent amount of commitment to the joke, Isaac finally was just laughing. He's just like, I just stole your keys. A decent amount of commitment. Like, it was probably like, I'm not trying to act like it was on his way. It was probably 15 minutes. Like, it was like, like, we had searched, you know, under floor mats and like scooted all the seats up and all the way back and all the different things.

Dude, I could. I could go for one minute doing that. I would, I could, I wouldn't be able to bear it. I would just be like, no, I took them. Wasn't even that funny. I'd be like, ah, I don't know. Because it's such like a mediocre prank of like, yeah, at the end of the day. But anyway, he thought it was so funny.

And so we laughed about that. Just like, remember when like I couldn't find that? I thought somebody just stole my keys, but not my truck. Like. Rachel's threshold for messing with me is about two seconds. Yeah. Like, hey, did you do to do like I asked you to? No, I didn't.

Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did it right. way no I didn't got you oh I couldn't take it oh I couldn't take it just knowing what your face was probably like I just couldn't take it who but no I did yeah I did I called them that's pretty good yeah it's good prank a second and a half prank Sinatra ultimate prank uh permission to do a new segment um called daily dumb daily dumb daily dumb this is when you do something on a very regular basis, and every single time it makes you feel dumb.

Okay. I got one after you. Perfect. Please. I'm sure I have them. I can't think of them right now. Go ahead. I'm going to try to listen to you all, also thinking.

Oftentimes, daily, you can say. I walk out my front door in my house. And wouldn't you know it, pretty much every time I walk out my front door, I get a text on my watch. So I go to check it. and when you know it every time it's the ring doorbell saying motion oh but i check it every time and every time i think i don't deserve technology if i can't learn that the ring doorbell is going to buzz me every time i walk up my front door i don't deserve any of this i don't deserve a home not the watch not the ring doorbell i don't know if i deserve short-term memory yeah because i'm not

using the long-term memory that's daily dumb daily dumb that's pretty dumb yeah but not but also not it's like you're just conditioned every time you boom boom well you don't you don't think twice before you boom you know what's funny is like occasionally i will like all right i just took out trash you come back in all right got to take some else out so it's fresh so the second time i know it yeah i know but there's still a part of me it's like oh but is it yes i just want to confirm that it is the ring doorbell and then i just like no don't look at it you don't look at it well and this is again well or you ever have your phone out and it's just like you get a text and you see it you know while it's on the lock screen and then it alerts you again in two minutes. And it's like, what if it's a different

one? What if it's been a minute and a half? And it's a different one. They add it on to it. Yeah, I lost track of time. Yeah. That's a daily dumb. This is not daily for me, but when you said it, I was like, it's going to be mine. I just usually like, sometimes it's like a, not a chore. It's a, what's a process to get out the door in the morning. I got to kiss five people before I leave. You know, I got to say goodbye. I got to give a pep talk to Bo. You're the man in the house. You'd be good to your sisters. If one of us is sick, we're all getting sick. Come here and kiss dad. Pretty much. Rosie, you first. Yeah, I'm like making my rounds. You know, it's like I'm like a politician, like, you know, waving to people as I'm leaving. Thank you for breakfast. Thank you for picking up your

room. Honestly, a decent amount of that. And I would say more than, more than 30% less than 50% of the time, I go out and I don't have something I need, mainly my phone. Usually it's my phone. It's like, I got to go back in. And then it's like, got to do this whole process again. You got to hurt, like you knock on the Hattie's window. Hattie, Hattie. Please. Yeah. Just don't tell me. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I, I like turn on my truck and it's like not connecting or you know, whatever. I'm like, oh, I guess I don't have my phone. Oh, Marquises. Yeah. So I thought your, your notification was going to be that your phone was left behind or something. But I do get a notification when it's time to like kiss and stuff. But no, that's not. That's fun too. It's a different

part of the house how often intervals of it's based on my blood pressure just like hey it's too high or too low find the medium with with the kiss this is what do the equilibrium time what's your daily dome my daily dome is that i live in a cycle of every single morning i set an alarm for a good time of like that i'll have a good amount of time to get ready before i have to do whatever i have to do that yeah and every single time i i snooze it into it until I have just barely enough time to get out the door a few minutes late. And I do it every time. And every time it's stupid. But I'm always like, oh, I'm just so tired this morning. I'm tired every morning. Figure it out. I'm tired every morning. Yeah. That's so funny. Yeah. Because

when you're going to bed, you think, all right, if I wake up at 720, that'll give me plenty of time. And then when you do wake up at 720, you go, oh, I have plenty of time. Oh, I am so good at finding any excuse. Oh, I can save time doing this once I get ready. I'll just go back to sleep for 21 minutes. Every time. They had like word problems back in the day of math and like this and that. It's like the only word problem you need to know later on life is how long can you like flex time in the morning in order to still be on time?

It's like, yeah, you wake up at 7.20 and you're like, oh, I got plenty of time. It's like, well, but if I if I shower for three minutes instead of seven and then I, you know, eat breakfast on the go, it probably take me a minute to make breakfast. I got time. And then you're snoozing. Yeah. Yeah. I have bad news for you, too, Tyman. I'm afraid it's probably not going to go away.

Okay. Because when I started taking this, like, pill, Levo, Livlaff, Levo. It changed the way I became bad at time management. Because now I don't snooze. Now I get out of bed right away because I know the longer I take my pill, the longer breakfast is coming. Because I have to wait. You can't have food until 30. to 60 minutes after I take the pill. So it's like, let's get out of bed. But so now my waste of time

is just like as soon as the pill has been taken. Now let's go sit on my phone for a little bit. And then I waste 30 minutes of time. And all of a sudden it's like, oh shoot, now I need to eat breakfast and get ready. I didn't do either of those things. It's like liquid takes the form of the container a little bit. I will always be rushing out the door. There's nothing I can ever do. It does feel like it's a little bit of a personality thing. Because Catherine, the other day, I was like, you could, you know, we were coordinating all these different things. She's like, okay, I could set in a chiropractor appointment for four o'clock. I was like, you could do 3.45 and you would just maybe have a little bit of time in between that. And we were meeting my

parents for dinner at five. I want to push it. And she's like, yeah, but then what would I do for 15 minutes? I was like, relax. You could just relax. Like, you could do anything. You could go drop off library books, if you would, like all these different things. She's like, I'll do four. I'll do four. And then she's like, screaming out the door at 3.48. until I get there. And I'm just like, there's a difference there. Yeah. I need to find a way to trick myself because so maybe I've mentioned this on podcast before,

but I, the only time I've ever lied to Rachel and her family is with golf tea times. I don't tell them the accurate time that I've booked a tea time. I tell them 12, 16, 20 minutes before it actually is because I know they're going to be running late. Yeah. And they're probably finding out right now that I've been lying to them for four years. I don't know where our golf tea times are. I always tell them a wrong.

time. And that works, that system works really well because they're on time. Yep. And they say, oh, we're not going off at 418. I don't know what happened. I think it'll just hang back a couple minutes. But you can't trick yourself. I would love to tell myself, hey, pig ball actually starts at 645, not 7, that way I get there earlier. But I know, I know it's hard at 7.004. I used to try to trick myself with my watch being fast, but eventually you're like, I know it's just six minutes fast. It's too fast. Yeah. You got trick yourself with like a couple minutes max. you know and like a brain injury that helps that would that would do wonders yeah i haven't tried that one yet but that would help 51st days she was always on time she was always the first one

in that little pancake shop that's right yeah so any other daily dumps i don't know i'm trying i mean dumb a lot i think i just unlike you and very similar to rachel i don't think enough when i put stuff down Like, I just put things down in places and I can't find them. And then you end up searching a lot. Yeah, or just like, especially in the shop, like when I'm out there. Like, if it's a flat surface that's clear, I'll put it down there. And then it's like, I don't know where that went. I can't find this thing.

I don't, like, I have, I bet I have 20 tape measures. And very regularly, I'm like, I can't find a tape measure. Like, I mean, it's crazy. So just, just in general, I don't, that's not always a conscious thought of like, here I'm putting this down. It's just like, I have another thought to why I need to put this down. So therefore, I'm already thinking about that. I'll just put this on a flat surface that I see.

Yeah. You don't have any RAM dedicated to like, this is where I've put this. Remember this later? Right. And with my phone and stuff, it's a problem. Because sometimes I'm in the moment, baby. You know, I'm dinner, bedtime, whatever. And I'm like, I think my phone's still in the shop.

If I have to go find it in the dark, you know. Anyway, so that's daily dumb, I guess. You got any more? Daily dumb. No, just the one. Okay. Just ringed our bell. Big dumb, though.

that is a that is a big dump big dumper um um daniel miller asked for a uh a shred update so we can all we can all share that um i think i talked recently i am switching things up a little bit the most of the first part of this year i was like trying to like look as good as possible chasing that great before and after picture really just trying like look lean upper body and then I just want to take pickleball more seriously. And so I'm trying to do is I'm on this like pickleball training program and whatnot.

And it just started. And so I've got all these new workouts I'm doing. And they're really making me explore a lifetime, which I'm not loving. Like I really like where I normally at. Okay. Dumbels and machines. Okay. Easy.

Yeah. I've learned my way around this big high school. I have my favorites. You got kettlebells now? And now we're kettlebelling. We're doing farmers carry. Lifetime isn't really set. up to do a lot of walking around.

Yeah, where do you do that? There's no, like, agility area. Okay. The first day I did anything, I just remember this, I snuck into the kids area. There's a huge sign that says, do not use this space. And I just use that and set up some cones and did stuff. Good for you. Because there are people playing basketball. I don't know where I was supposed to do it. They want me to jump rope. And one, I've been too nervous to ask where the jump ropes are. Because every time I see someone with a jump rope, it's like a younger woman.

and, like, I just, I refuse to approach a woman at the gym. I don't, even if I lead with, like, a wedding ring. Excuse me. Running ring and a flashlight. Hey. Hey, not trying to be weird, but I saw you. I saw you over there. Where do you get that jump rope?

I seriously can't. And, like, even like, all right, just ask an employee. Well, they're always women, too, and they're always with another woman. It's like, now I'm going to ask two of them. Where do you get that jump rope? Okay. I'm smart enough if I can find the jump rope. it's on my own. But even then I think, where do I use it? It's not set up well to jump rope.

Yeah, you gotta have a decent radius for a jump rope. Also, I've never seen the ground. I've never personally seen somebody use one. That's the thing is I see people using them on the ground. I'm like, I gotta keep an eye on this. Where do they just come from jump roping? Are they sneaking into Pilates to jump rope? I was going to say maybe like for classes they have them. I don't know where they get them. It feels like this program is more like a at home program. And I let them know that. It was like day two when I already was like, let's hop on a call. Let's talk through some stuff. Let me set some expectations here. I'm going all the way to Lifetime Fitness to do pushups. It feels like we're stepping down. But anyway, we had a good talk. But

man, I wish, actually, I'm glad that no one could see me yesterday. I'm glad I went at like 11 a.m. Because it wasn't very busy. But they had me doing, they're like, do banded pushups. This is new for me. So I'm looking at this video. And at one point, I'm like, turning my phone. Like, all right, do I need to look at it from whatever. So it's like you put this like resistance band. across your back. And so the resistance is actually pushing up. Like down is now easy in the push ups in the resistance. Like it's like across your back and through your hands. So it's like a lot of resistance to push up. Wait, isn't it always easy to go down? Yeah. Okay. That's correct. Okay. So he just more resistance than normal. You're right. Okay. I was like, I need to learn a different

that way of doing pushups. But to get in position to like, yeah, I've got this band that Where exactly is it, is it strapped on you? It's just like one circular band. And it's just like you put it around your shoulders. It's like across my shoulder blades basically and then like goes through your hand. Okay. Oh, that's funny. You know, to get that position, I'm like standing and then I'm like in handcuffs like going to the ground like knees first and then like I guess we're just going to fall first here.

I'm looking around. All right. Let's get into push up position. Catch myself. Dude. And then get up off my knees. That's a risky mood. You could have face planted.

it. Well, I, I, but still, dude. Yeah, you got to get on your knees first. That sounds like, right? And then so the second rap I was like, that didn't feel like the right way to do it. So now I'm like, what if I get on my stomach first and then like throw it over my back? How many people were here? I mean, luckily no one was like where they lay out the mats like and it is like, it's like the middle of the day, but it's not the lunch rush yet. So there weren't that many people. Thank goodness. Seriously. But still, I mean, it was just like, man, if Rachel, if anyone else was here, they would. get such a kick out of me just like throwing the band over my back and trying to catch it on this side and then even doing it it's like all right i'm finally in position my max is five and it's like wow i did all that and i can't even do more than five yeah so some of these i mean i think from those part that's all helpful and good but yeah just i'm just doing weird stuff now it's not just your traditional curl and this it's like a lot of we do a lot of unilateral stuff unilateral what does that mean it's like one side of the body at once like do this just just with your right arm.

Okay. Now do this just with your left leg. Okay. He's got reasons for it. Cool. I don't know. Yeah. But anyway, shred up hate's going good.

Yeah. It's always great to get compliments from your bros and Isaac's been telling me I look great lately and that's frankly all I need. Yeah. Isaac will tell you how it is. Yeah. He has not told me that. I'm just kidding.

What is your shred update? I don't have much. I haven't been to Lifetime slash, yeah, haven't done well recently, honestly. I was talking to Catherine about the other day. I was like, I think it's just, once again, it's just like I just don't feel like I have the time for this. And I'm like, and I know I do truly. Like it's not. It is easy.

Once you start pushing it off, it's easy to stay. And it's like I do technically have the time for it. But it's just like it's a little bit more of a process. And it's just whatever excuses. But it's like, I've just been working in the shop so much recently. And that is like lifting heavy things or like doing manual labor. And so it kind of feels like, Yeah, I'm helping, but whatever. It's just not. I need to get back into it. But, yes,

not really much of an update. Just besides that. But let's go year over year. Year over year, it's still, we're still making progress. Yes. Yeah. For sure. Absolutely. All right. All right. All right. So, seriously. Let's just get this out of the way now. Please. We got kind of a good news, bad news situation. Okay. Good news. Cozier's is still sponsoring us. Heck yes, dude. Good news. Good news. They're lowering their prices. Oh, wow. Okay, good news. Good news. The cozy earth viscos from bamboo sheets are still temperature regulating, guaranteed to give you a comfortable night's sleep. Yeah. Oh, okay. This is all good news so far. Good news. The bubble cuddle blanket is still in stock. You can lose yourself in luxury. Lose yourself in the luxury of the bubble cuddle blanket. You'll never know where it will go. one foot to foot maybe an arm or leg that's it

bad news the discount has lowered has lowered with the price is lowered though so it's the same price so facto still getting a great deal it was all good news and the code stays the same

I was doing burpees in lifetime. Just like in like the CrossFit area too. I don't know where else to do it. You're just going for crank and burps and just try to be confident. This is fine. This is absolutely like a at home kind of program. Or like a program that can be done

without a lot of weights. Yeah, they wanted to sign me up for six months and I think after this first one. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Then again, we'll see. If I start feeling healthier and less achy, maybe we'll keep doing it.

Timon? My shred update can be summed up in a simple, quick story. Lovely. I hope nothing goes horribly awry. Very recently, or like soon after I got back from Ohio in a voice lesson, my voice teacher, Dr. Smith. He goes, did you somehow get skinnier since you went to Ohio? So I was like, I don't know, could be. There's not much, not much more to lose, but, see, I know I have not been getting shreddy.

I'm too shreddy. yeah you've shredded too much yeah you've cut off too much yeah yeah yeah you did seem taller when i saw you last like when i saw you in gulf shores so maybe you're stretching out growing up could be that actually reminds me uh we went and saw nate uh perform while he's in town this best weekend and he had a bit this is probably the hardest rachel laughed all night um about how his dad who's you know a grandpa and he's starting to do grandpa things and i guess i like his daughter you know Nate's dad's, you know, granddaughter's softball game. He started just making observations.

They're a little too loud. And Rachel said, like, her grandpa used to the exact same thing and just super relatable, just like, the girl on second base kind of slow. Jeez, dad, why he's telling yourself? She's looking right at you. The girl walks by the on deck circle. That's big girl.

Stop! And that was a thing in our, it was my great grandpa. But I remember one time my dad walked through the room and he asked him if his, butt had gotten bigger, like asked his, like, grandson-in-law, your butt gotten bigger? Told my mom, she was stout, told my sister when she was probably six years old that she'd gotten big. I mean, there's just what old guys do. Did they just, well, was it, is that true? Or is it, like, generational, like, they're not used to seeing, like, well-fed women. Maybe. Or, like,

it wasn't a big deal. Or, like, I don't know, like, because, yeah, it does feel like, like, grandmas or that generation love to just be like, wow, you're getting so fat. And I'm like, that, that's hurtful. Like, I know, but like, you know, like, my host mom in Spain when I was there, like, took pride in us gaining weight, like, with her. She liked it. She's like, because it means that we were liking her food a lot. You're like, this isn't the 1600s in China. This doesn't mean I'm wealthy.

Right. And what's funny, it was like, I absolutely. I've never been skinnier than when I was in Spain. Not because I didn't eat. I ate a lot of her food. I loved it. But she's like, oh, no, you've gotten fatter since you've been here. You have.

And I was like, I know I haven't. Thanks. Whatever you want to tell yourself. But anyway, that's funny. It was fun. Seeing Nate, he hooked us up with tickets, kind of. We went to Will Call and they're like, there's not tickets on your name. Like, oh, gosh.

Try, Trey Kennedy. And they were like, well, who have you been talking to? And they have to say, well, I was talking to. guy named Trey and he was talking to a guy that I've never met and I don't know his name so I don't know what to tell you and it took like 30 minutes they did eventually get his tickets and they were pretty good tickets but yeah we stood outside for about 30 minutes waiting but um so owners were pretty good uh there's a guy named Greg Warren sorry I really liked he had a bit about um consumer consumers I don't know I think he's got a podcast called the consumers oh yeah he signed to

Nateland I recognize him from there I don't know the name of it but yeah I think I think he has Anyway, go ahead. I like this guy, too. Yeah, I never seen him perform before. He was funny, though. But he did this joke about how he's like, you know, high schools now are getting fishing as a sport. Which, have you seen this? A guy at our church told me about this exact same joke.

Okay, gotcha. But I'll go ahead. So did he go to the show? Yes. Is that why? Okay. So I told my dad about this. And he's like, oh, yeah, he's been doing that joke for years.

I've like seen it online. So I guess like, if you're doing an arena with Nate, you do the greatest hits probably. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. But I hadn't heard it. It was hilarious. He basically was like, yeah. if high school is having fishing teams,

that means that we're having fishing parents. And then he talked about how parents would be complaining about like, my boy deserves more time out on the boat. You're keeping him on the shore. He deserves to be on the boat.

And then he's like, if we have fishing teams, that means we have high school fishing coaches. That's what my friend was saying. And then he's like, the coach is like, you all embarrass yourself on the pond today. You should be ashamed of what you did out there. And then he just keeps to take it a step further.

He's like, that means that there is an assistant fishing coach. and then that was so funny and cracked us up and then he talks about cheerleaders and yeah it's pretty good bit so assistant fishing coach like he gave him kind of a funny like nasally voice yeah uh i heard that you were on the jumbo trum did you hear about this surely i get a text like every weekend it's pretty fun oh because we're on the pre-roll like if you get there early we're always on there so pretty much every weekend someone will text me or jimmy dude i just saw your face at a Nate bargazzi show is it like a clip of you guys i think it's just a quick

yeah, a little promo, maybe a couple graphics and like a, yeah, a quick video of us on Craig Dependez. Yeah, Kyle, my friend, he took a picture of, like, and he's like, yeah, dude, like, Jake was on the jungle. I was like, no way. That was the one thing that's talked about waiting outside for 30 minutes. It's like, I didn't get to see myself on the Jumbotron, but also it's like, I got pictures for different angles, Tracy Cooper,

Mr. James texted me. Nice, yeah. So, yeah, it was fun. It was good to see a name. He's great. Yeah, best yet, or? I would say not best yet. Not bad, but just like, it's been a very recent thing that comedians feel this pressure to come out with a new hour every year comedians don't normally do this

usually you take years before you develop a new hour of material and now I don't know if it's the streaming era or just the commercial commercialization of comedy where you just feel like I need to come up with a new hour but obviously quality is going to go down like an hour is a lot to do every single year

and that's basically what he's doing so would you rather be less material more often, like 45 minutes every year, 30 minutes every year, or would you rather be an hour, but every two years? Good question. I'm okay having Nate come through Kansas every year. Yeah. And it wasn't like, if there any, like, dead spots. It wasn't like anything bombed, obviously. I mean, he's got this down. He's a pro, but I just think in previous, I've enjoyed previous sets better. Yeah. But it was so really funny. Well, it would be cool to be like, like a blue color comedy kind of back in the day. You ever heard of blue color comedy tour at

I don't think so. You heard Larry the Cable Guy? Yes. Made her from cars probably. It's about timing doesn't. But they had like a four, like a band essentially, a comedian band. Yeah, that was fun. And so therefore, I bet they didn't have to have as long of a set.

I don't know how long each of them were. Obviously, I think Jeff Foxworthy was like the main headliner, I guess. But it didn't, at least as a seventh grade kid when I was watching it, it didn't seem like it was like Jeff Foxworthy's thing with three other guys. even though it probably was that. I forgot about the blue collar comedy tour. You know? I should hit up like Trey and John and be like, hey.

Yeah. What if we did a Christian version of this? What color color would that be? Depends on what nomination, dude. Depends on the denom. Yeah. Be easier if we were Catholic. Kind of have our collar picked out for us.

But, yeah, I bet they did like 30 minutes. Yeah. Two-hour show. Each of them. Yeah. Did you like them all? I liked them all. I didn't love.

of Ron White at the time. I think I like him more now. That's probably how I felt, too. I don't know if I was totally allowed to watch all of it. I think maybe it was like, hey, Jeff Foxworthy's on. Come in, watch. All right, now go back to bed. Jeff's off stage now. I don't think I really consumed all of it. Yeah, because he was like, I think he's a Christian or like, it's a clean comic, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, fun times. Yeah, he's great. You might be a red, Nick. That was probably my main introduction to like stand-up comedy.

Yeah. yeah that and there was this guy named john pennett you ever heard of him no dude i've seen some john have you great and loves john pennant that's so random because i don't think like besides scott peck i don't think i've ever talked to anybody else that knows he was like this huge like 400 pound dude who just basically made jokes about being big like the whole time there was a the opener for Nate is this huge guy he also opened for him last year and did like kind of the same jokes i kind of remember him from last year. It's too bad. Like truly did the same exact opening joke. Did it

two years with the same crowd. Didn't like that. And then his whole like six minutes set was about how big he was. I was like, this is already kind of like an overdone schick. You can't have it be your whole thing. Isn't it? I didn't like it. Yeah. I would not like to live that life of just like, let me just say the same joke I've said a million times.

And this is my identity. I have no observational comedy. I have no storytelling. I'm just a big guy telling him big guy jokes. Yep. Right. The whole time. Yeah. Yeah, it's too bad. John Panette, the only bit I remember is about skiing. You seen that bit? I don't remember.

I don't remember very many of his bits. I remember him going to Disney World. Okay. And maybe one about like laxatives or something. I don't know. But he's funny. He's got a funny voice. And so like, I just remember I had a CD back in that.

Like we were just listening. Scott and I would just listen while we'd play video games or something. My first comedy CD. You guys know a guy named Bob Smiley. Oh. Pretty sure that was his name. He also had a funny voice. That sounds familiar.

I don't, I can't. I also remember, what was the guy that did all the, oh, Roy D. Mercer. You ever remember him? Oh, the prank calls. Those are funny. Those are, how big a boy are you? How big a boy are you?

Bob Smiley's still performing. Good for Mr. Smiley. Lebanon, Missouri. February 6. Tickets. He's just a Missouri guy. Southwest Missouri. He's the only place he performs.

Looks like Marshfield, Pleasant Hope, Fair Grove. No. He looks funny He looks like Goofy Goob Over 27 years of experience I'm not going to tell you how much Let's just say it's over 27

How did it Did it make you feel any way about stand up Like when you watched Nate Maybe a little bit I felt some things I'm just like this is fun Or like when I'm watching someone else do crowdwork I'm kind of whispering to Rachel What he needs to do right now

Like he needs to tie it back He's a tight dog to the Philadelphia thing. Oh, yeah. But the most part, it's like, everyone does a good enough job to where you don't find yourself being like, it's time I make my way back. Really? You know, if they were terrible, I think that would make me feel like

this is where current comedy's at. That's how I felt about all the openers last time. Really? It was like, these guys are not good. I would say the opening comedians this time did a significantly better job than the last set. These guys were all pretty good. That's good.

Except for Big Boy. Yeah. Because it was the same jokes. And they weren't good last time. And they were okay. I don't remember anything about them last time. Yeah. So, but yeah, Greg Warren was good.

Most of they have. But yeah, the openers were much better this time. Good. They're great. That's fun. Yeah, but it is fun. I mean, it's such a cool way of communicating and entertaining people, but there's a reason how many people do it.

It's hard and I'm okay with where I'm at. Yes, that's good. Speaking of where I'm at, literally just got an email a couple minutes ago. Just signed a new player to Friday. I've been talking to her parents and another. like, you know, talking to her parents. A high school girl.

And anyway, she just said, they're in. That's kind of fun. Welcome, Camie Gonzalez to the Friday team. Oh. You've been a video before. Where's she from? Northwest Arkansas. Okay.

Benville. I said, hey, I had a roommate back the day from Bentonville. Yeah, you know, the Grinshaw family? Mm-hmm. They didn't. But we talked to Walmart and Ozarks and Branson and whatnot. Northwest Arkansas. Yeah, it was great.

That's fun. That's great. And she's close enough for she can, like, come to KC for tournaments. You guys can go there or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be fun. Congrats. Kaylee.

Cammy. Cammy. Cammy. Cammy. Cammy. Cammy, Sal. Cammy Ramirez. Camry Gonzalez.

Good. Ramirez didn't sound right. Caitlin Ramirez. What else? Catherine just texted me a picture of this Facebook marketplace thing. You've seen those like, we'll call them domes. They're like climbing domes. I'll show you.

I got a playground maybe. Oh, it's kids climbing dome with swing. Oh, sure. You got one of these times? Yeah, it looks like one of those orbs.

They never had one in the office. They're fun. If you have the orb, you can speak. She said, will you please buy this for us? Yeah, I will,

but like, I just feel like, yeah, we have to buy a crane also to get in our yard. Also true. Like, how am I going to,

I just struggle with having too many things in our yard. We got, we got random stuff everywhere. There's a line you, you, do cross where I was like, whoa, that's white trash. Whoa, that's white trash.

Whoa, they must be run a daycare. Whoa, they don't care how they look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I know that we do. And I know that Catherine does, but also she's just more like, it'd be fun. And that'd be good for the kids. And they love that. That's funny because like a basketball hoop, like we can bring that in the garage when we're

done playing with it. The inflatable pool. We could deflate that when we're done with it. Yeah. The climbing gym. We got the climbing dome. We got a trampoline. Yeah.

We've got a playhouse. We've got a sandbox. We've got an adequate deck. It's just, it's just, yeah, it's just a lot. Which is fine. Dude, every time I have to, like, take all the kids' bikes out of my shop to do work, I bet there's 12 vehicles in there. A couple little motorized ones.

There's little scooter things. There's, yeah, little, like, yeah, ones that make noise, balance bikes, big bikes. different big buy and I'm like, future bikes. Tricicle, I'm like, okay. And then you put them out

in the driveway and then that looks bad of course. So anyway, our driveway is not looking hot right now but, you know, get the dome,

just tuck it in the kind of the west side of your lawn. tuck it up against the fence. No one will see in there. So I am looking at this and I'm like, how could I transport that without completely disassembling it?

Yeah, just carry it. Pick up in Raymore, Missouri. That is so not close. Yeah. how much are they new yeah

get someone deliver it um you want to get the guitar out see what happens sure uh what's the best way to make

hey let's brainstorm real quick I was gonna say like I give you like a word or a phrase all right and you gotta when you play the chords and then you and time we both share the song or something but is that is that too hard to

I have no idea let's see how it goes I think it should be an easy a song that goes really slow that everyone knows the words too oh you want me to play a song yeah so first yeah what's a what's a nice easy song that you know how to play Sweet Home Alabama

Fast words in that one though We'll go slow Sweet Home Alabama Nice Nice or let's see what other song i don't know think of a song that's a slow song no no this is good the song is sweetam albama but your version that you guys are seeing together is called uh sweet home

ablamma it's a song about onomatopias so it's just a song about noises and sounds and umf and moo and pow and bam do you know sweet home Alabama well is there i was going to say is there a lot more to it besides that first part because if not i don't really know it okay i'll I'll, I'll do it. And then we, sweet home, boom, boom, coblamo. Yeah, that's good. Sweet home, boom, cablamo. Cablamma.

It still needs to rhyme. Okay. Obviously, I'm not willing to budge on that. Sweet home, boom, cablama. Thank you. How hard was that. Pau and, ouching. What are some other?

Let me just look up. Let me just look up Autumontopias. My bad. I was hoping to be. No, no, no, no, no. Just make noise. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Just make noise.

Sweet home, boom, ablamma. Bam, bans, compliments, kimpadoo. Yeah, it's fun. Sweet home, boom, coblama. Get it, time. Boot scoot, tink, bong, bang. Bang, bang. I wanted them to

I wanted them to still I wanted them to still sound like Automata Pia words We're talking boom pow Cachow Murru Murru and Boomka pow

Boomka pow Boom boom Boom boom pow We'll call it boom boom pal Yeah do you know if like boom boom pal. Do you know how I'd play any blackout piece? Yeah, I'll find one. Where is the love?

Chords. This was called Where is the Dove? You've been looking for all these other types of birds. You're seeing all these birds. I see ravens. I see crows. But I really want to know where is the dove. Do you know this song? No.

I was like, no. You have no. You go for it. I don't like that. Where is the dove? Where is the dove? Where is the dove? Where is the dove? The dove, the dove.

People killing. people dying children hurt and see them flying yeah when you practice what you see wing see and then you go to the sea yeah two seas different seas father father help us send some guidance from above it's people got me got me questioning where is the dove where is the dove where is the dove where is the dove where is the The dove, where is the dove, the dove? What's wrong with this birds, mama? People claimant like, they got no problems.

Complamos. You're doing good. This is tough. We can do other things with a guitar. I just didn't know what to, well, no, I think that was great. Black I P's. Yeah, it was lovely. New game, new game.

It's a little hard to, like, improvise. So maybe if Timon knew the song, Yeah, I was just to say, let's get time more involved. Let's do, like, it's almost like a, we're going to swap genre. So, like, time, and I want you to sing a musical theater song that you know really well, but you have to sing it in a country twang. Oh. So Brad's going to, I guess, maybe find the chords.

And you're going to, you're going to do it in a very country way. Okay. Okay. What if this is possible? I like how the non-musical guys are, all right, all right, here's probably what's, yeah, yeah. Here's what we're going to do, guys. Oh, my. I am hungry.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. You know why? Because I need to eat. I haven't eaten the food that I'm supposed to be eating yet. And what kind of food is that? A high protein diet. And what kind of food is that?

Meat, usually, for me. And where kind of food does that? Good ranchers. com. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. The ranchers.com. Good ranchers. Ding, ding.

Yes, dude. Good ranchers. dot com. Yeah, and I was thinking about, like, welcome to the table. The water's fine. Yeah, I'm hungry, but I have this problem where it's like, if I ever have seed oils or added, you know, hormones or antibiotics in my meat, I don't really, uh, get full the same way. I get tummy aches.

I just kind of struggle in general. But if I go to good rangers.com and have my meat or my food there, I feel way better. It's healthier for me. And we're supporting American farmers in the process. It's going to be a good teaching moment for your family. Yeah. You know, supply chain. Mm-hmm.

Or you go to the science route. You go the antibiotics route. You go to the added hormone. Yeah. It's a great moment to educate those around you on why you're getting higher quality meat. Yeah. Why you're supporting Americans. Why that's a good thing.

Yes. Or you do the anatomy lesson where you say, this is a cow. Here's where this cut of steak comes from. Yeah. That's good, too. So all good lessons. Yeah. All good stuff.

Shelter kid. That's nice this guy. He's like Yeah, look, we can read it. Assume the best. There might be a little dust on the Bible. And I could say, see why that would be a song, actually. It's like, I need to go back to church. It's a little dust on the Bible. There's a Josiah Queen song

about that. Yeah, I was like, yeah. Dust on Bible! Yeah. That song made me feel bad because I got the brand new iPhone. I was like, oh boy. Oh, geez. Well, just don't have both. Oh, you wonder why you feel this way. I got to have dust on the bottle. I think we're going to go real slow

Hands are cuss Skies turn gray When our hearts are warm at the end of the day Crisp air rolling The days grow short Children laughing at the barnyard door Stories circle around the fires glow A summer's past and the seas will sow

It's harvest season The fields are singing Every seed we sowed is finally bringing Bread for the table, joy for the night The work was heavy But the yield feels right Harvest season, a time of great, The land remembers every hand and face

Bread for the table Joy for the night The work was heavy But the yield feels just right Woo! That's pretty good That was great That's all the verses it gave me, so

That was awesome Good job Probably should have just done that from the beginning That was a little over Anthony Feeling up there I was going for I know that was fun I would do more AI guitar.

I think people listening have a good time. I think the kids in the back of the main van, I think you're liking this episode.

Mom, can we do the harvest season episode again? Can we do the guitar episode? Well, let's do a goofy one. Let's do a goofy one for the kids. All right, this one's about the cat. We're going. The cat's pajamas. Coming right up

Coming right up Got to find the capo For a cat's pajama song Well I stepped out on the town Last night Saw a tabby cat Under neon light She was strutting down the alley

With a sassy sway Fucking silly Jemmy's in a jazzy way She don't need diamonds Don't need pearls You got whiskers sharpening up To rule the world Every dark stops sparking

Every mouse just stares When the cat's pajamas Shut their fancy flares Wow, that's the first of her so fast Okay She's the cat's pajamas The bees needs to Cooler than a saxophone

In a smoky blue When she purrs The world claps The whole world claps Yeah the cat's pajamas Got the snaziest snaps Ooh She's slick, she's smooth

Ooh, she's got that midnight groove Ooh, if you're lucky you might catch a glance Of the coolest cat in her pajama pants She's the cat's pajamas Everybody sing it The cream of the crop Yeah Once she starts jamming

The whole block won't stop So raise your glass Give three loud claps For the cat's pajamas With the snaziest snaps kind of sound like life is a highway I realized that way through there's a world outside

if you don't can door It's a little highway It's funny It sounds country just because it's like guitar It sounds like And that's great which is awesome All right one more Brad what's the genre going to be?

I don't know know, let's just keep going country. I mean, we could try to do, like, some heavy metal, like, but it's just more fun, do country, I think. Yeah. You can make it sound. It fits more. Yeah.

What would you like to hear a song about? I'd like to hear a song about the Bachelor Party for Homeschoolers. Homeschooled Bachelor Party. Great. This song This song I wrote for a buddy that just got through a tough bachelor party Everything went horribly awry This is for my 16-year-olds out there

Congratulations, Graydon and Elizabeth That was right where I should be For Graydon and Elizabeth And Elizabeth. It really nailed some aspects of that I just said a homeschool bachelor party. That's amazing. It is like my homeschool brothers singing in harmony.

AI thinks that, yeah, they think that you're Christian? Yeah, you're homeschool. Is that, you can laugh at me for this question. But does like your chat GPT know you personally?

Oh, I was just about to say, I think that this is, I'm sure it's taken some from like, I guess I brought up singing and harmony and like, yeah, yeah, I'm sure. I figured it.

did but surely stay logged in yeah which that's how it gets you it's like even if like we use barred or google gemini even if i were to start to hear that these things are better they've kind of got me now it's like well chat gpte knows so much about me i don't want to start over i don't want to give context to every single question i ask now that's tough because now like you just say something they know what you're talking about yeah or even if i just say like um hey help me figure out um maybe what i can afford on a future house and it'll say then like without prompted it'll be like you probably afford this this based on your income now but hey a Friday picklewell over sells it like it takes stuff from other conversations then you could probably afford this it's like

oh thanks for thinking of that nice guy do you ever do the talk are we talking for this already I like to sorry I like talking to it I don't like it talking back though okay I want to read okay read fast listen slow yeah true yeah I do talk to it sometimes though it's kind of fun yeah but even even if it's not talking back to me i'll do voice to text mine sounds just like you know who nate taylor is i was going to ask you yes to do an impersonation of me talking to chat ubd yeah so it's like yes oh yeah hello hello okay it's well um i'm headed to phoenix this weekend and uh i'm wondering just like give me a full

breakdown of clothes I should be wearing, morning, afternoon, evening. Blup. Yeah, so it sounds like you got a fun weekend plan for you in Phoenix. The weather looks like it's going to be 76, but it's dry. So typically what you want to wear for something like this is probably three pairs of shorts, six pairs of pants, and a long sleeve shirt just to keep yourself, occupied. That is so good. And then you got to ask, like, would you like me to

if you want any other suggestions for exact color schemes or Phoenix themed restaurants? American Southwest themed outfits. That was actually great. That's pretty opening like, hey, that sounds pretty fun, man. They love acknowledging. Not a bad weekend, Jake.

What did I, I asked it something recently. It was like, it was something like, hey, how can I treat this pain in my stomach or something? Ouch, sorry to hear about your stomach. Ooh, tough, Brad. They're doing a good job of making it personal, for sure. Yeah, yeah. They're encouraging, which is probably good.

I want them to lean on the side of encouraging. But they're always like, yeah. Hey, is this a good workout to do if I'm feeling calf tightness? Smart of you to already be considering this. Yeah, they love gas and you up. It's like you always acknowledge. There's probably some sales technique of like acknowledge, you know, almost like they do like when you're on the phone.

like, yes, I can absolutely help you. I'm so sorry that you're experiencing these issues with your Wi-Fi. Yes, so it sounds like your Wi-Fi is slower than what you anticipated it being. Correct. Yes. I can help with that exact problem.

Yeah, they're good. Good at writing songs, too. You guys. That was fun. You hit the road. That was fun. Yeah, the road, guys. These days, I mean, yeah, listen to time.

If you can have somebody find the lyrics for you, you're good, timing. Sorry, sorry. Hey, whoa. Sorry, man. Sorry, man, sandals. Sorry, dude. We're touching feet here.

You know what really grinds my beans is when we touch feet. You and I don't touch feet that much. Trey and I? You guys touch feet a lot? Oh, we touch feet. I built that. I think about you occasionally. Do you?

Yeah. I wish I would have built it different. What would you have changed? Coffee mug holders? Are we still doing that? Oh, my gosh, yes. Oh, my gosh, yes. Yeah, yes.

No, we are. doing, we're doing the, we're doing the main tree roasters ad. I, I just priced him. I initially was like, here's what I think you should build. This is the type of wood I would use. I think it'd be awesome. And he's like, I don't want it to be that expensive. And I said, all right, fine. I'll build it out of this kind of wood. Is that all right? It's not as good. Not the same. It doesn't look as good. And I look at it every time. And I'm like, it could have been maple, man. We could have made this thing awesome. Maple. Whoa. That's like in syrup. You know what I love to add? I've heard that before.

I think it's in syrup. Dude, I watched a video the other day watching two gallons of maple sap turn into like four ounces of maple syrup. Really? It's amazing to watch. It was just water. Like a lot of it's water. Oh, okay.

Yeah. How interesting. I got some sap on me this morning. It was not that much water, I bet. But Maitre Roaster is, man, heck of a coffee company. Sap stands for with Mature Roaster. Sip. sip.

Appetite. Oh. Sip. Sip and peruse their website. Yep. There's nothing better than sipping and perusing. Sip it in the morning. That's one of my favorite things to do in the morning is sipping and perusing.

You're just, yeah, whether you're scrolling, whether you're checking emails, let's see what I got today. Okay. You turn on the TV and it says sap available. Next thing you know, your subpoena and enjoyo. I didn't even try. I didn't even try. I didn't even try.

Enjoy. But sap always, why did sap mean Spanish back in the day? Spanish. It didn't say Española. It said sap. Yeah, it stands for something. Spanish and then programming. Yeah, probably.

Either way. Get your sap on. You don't really grinds my beans. Mainstreetroasters.com. GRKC for 10% off. This ad doesn't always make sense. But here's what the deal. Here's what the deal is.

Here's what the deal is. It's 10% for coffee. and, yeah, just go there. It's fall. You're going to remember this ad because of how crazy it is. Yeah, now is the time to do it, guys. Don't make his beg.

Yeah, sip and peruse. That's app. Yeah, I want to... What's the music update on your end? We bring anything to Spotify soon? I feel like surely kind of soon. I'll have something... Surely kind of.

Something original out. It's like fully original. Oh, yeah. God's got my wrist. Not fully original? Well, not to say that isn't. It's more impromptu thing. You know, I was more, I would say God gave me that.

You're saying, from now on, I'm not taking anything from God. I'm going to do it all myself. Glory to timing. That's so funny. I look forward to it. I, it's only been one day so far, but I've gone down the rabbit hole of 3D printer algorithm. Tell me. Talk to me.

Dude. I don't buy one. I don't know yet. I don't know how hard it is yet to like do. but the things that I've watched, this one specific account, I need to figure out what it's called. I think you can get a template for anything.

That's, sorry. This is actually perfect. What I was about to bring up, you answered my question I didn't even ask. Okay. Which was give me something to buy. Yes, dude. And I'll learn how to do it with you.

Is this because of what I said you're talking about? Yeah. So before early on into Friday pickleball, our like affiliate system wouldn't let you deposit straight to a bank. Okay. It was only $25 visa gift cards at a time. Okay.

And so we kept thinking, well at some point they'll figure this out and they did but it was only from now on it goes to a bank okay so we had like six thousand dollars in little visa gift cards and so we're like let's just bite the bullet we all got together one night like they just crank these out together we weren't able to convert them to cash or PayPal or anything we were able to convert them to Amazon okay so now we've all got thousands of dollars just sitting in the Amazon account so it's got nice I had to bite the bullet I'm sorry guys that has to be tough what do they go for They were making fun of me because, like, an hour and a half into it.

I'm like, whoa, this is like free money. They're like, yeah. I was like, because I was the main one. Like, it was all coming to my email. So I'm just like working away. I was like, it just seemed like homework up to this point. It just out dawned on me that we're like earning money while we're doing this. This is nice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Meanwhile, Isaac's like, I've had AirPods in my cart the whole time we've been here, just waiting for you to transfer the money over. Yeah, so they bought, he bought AirPods. I think Scott's getting some, some hokas, maybe some other. you know, outfit, shoe stuff, probably came or what else he said he was going to get. Isaac's thinking maybe an aura ring, maybe an Apple Watch. He was looking at an iPad.

Whoa, news to me. Like, I don't know. I don't know. I was just like, Rachel, let's just slowly spin this over the next three years. That's the mature, smart thing to do. But when it feels like it's free money, it's like, well, why? We didn't have this before. Isaac's talking a big game about the new AirPods because they do the live translation.

and he's just like, get me back to Vietnam, baby. Oh, I can't wait. We were going to test off when they come in and we're going to have Scott speak Portuguese to him and see how well that conversation goes. Okay, so I just looked up 3D printers. I wasn't on Amazon, just looked up on Google. And it looks like it runs the gamut, if you will.

I don't know if anything else runs besides gamut. But it runs the gamut from like $250 on up to $1,000, is what I'm seeing for prices here. It's in the budge. But I mean, these 3D printers, dude, like we're doing some, like this guy seemed like he, was kind of a genius on it, but like he was making these really cool gadgets that I was like, I love little, little gadgets, little hacks, like a little thing underneath your desk that you can

pull out for your cup holder or like, you know, a charging station or like something you could have like a phone like charging station underneath your desk or all these flower pots like decorations, all these different things, like modular systems with all this stuff. And I was just like, I am impressed by this. And I think that this is hard what this guy's doing. but also I think I could learn how to do this and it would be a fun. I don't think I'm trying to make a business out of it, but I'll be like,

little knickknacks around the house, things that make your life a little more fun. It'd just be fun to get creative with it and like, yeah, mess with it. Yeah. You know, and I've learned how to do that with woodworking, obviously, but it'd be fun to do it with something else.

I'd like to make something where most nights we're on the couch, we're watching a little show or something, and Rachel, it's become this funny thing, but she will like very, um, diplomatically just like, offer her arm to me, just like in a slow movement.

and it means like please rub my hand slash arm and somewhat happy to do it but most time I'm like kind of cozy under the blanket and we've got to go out into the cold yeah I would make something that can somehow do this maybe I could scratch it with my mouth maybe it's like a my hand scratch or like a scratcher that you control with your mouth

does she ever thought about going under the blanket would that be crazy for her like she really likes she really likes this yes Over the top. But this is fun. I never thought about a 3D printer. Talk to me more about it. I'm going to try to find the account.

3D. If you have kids, it's really fun too. You can kind of just like make toys. Like, what do you want? Do you want like a little castle with a tiger on it? Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

And that's probably true. And that'd be fun to do too. Like, okay, I like this guy even more now. I mean, granted, he's got some hugely popular YouTube videos, but he's only got 150,000 subscribers. so he's not like, you know, everyone knows this guy. Of course, his name is Lofted Goods. Look this guy up real quick

and look at some of the cool things he's done. Lofted goods. I don't know. I was just like, I was viving with him. This portfolio of 3D models. Oh, fun. Put your keys here. Put your house plant here. Just have a solution to everything, basically, with a 3D printer.

A solution to everything. Oh, look, he fixed the Gaza Strip conflict here. Wow. No, Jake. We're not getting political here. Look at that. He's got a sanding paper holders. You've always wanted to...

Well, thank goodness. Yeah. Fix that. It'd just be fun to like... Just be able to be like, I can literally make this. I can make that. Yeah, like Sam from holes. I can make that.

I can print that. Some vases, some jars. It's a lot of cylinder-based things. Yeah. So, like, 3 printing is good of a cylinder. Some of them are like collapsible and stuff. Like, I don't know. That's cool.

I'm into it, man. I bet, I bet somewhere he's like selling some templates for this stuff. Probably. If you had a picture, you could get it for a lot, a lot cheaper than like if you bought the actual thing. Yes. And I also want to learn how to do it myself to an extent. Yeah. Because I know how to do C&C stuff, which is not the same thing, but it's kind of that

similar. Give it a template. Yeah. Let it work. You know we use a CNC for all of our Friday Fever's? A CNC machine, like, cuts out part of, like, the honeycomb. Oh, okay. It's kind of fun.

Got to see it work in China. Zoom, zoom, zoom. That's cool. Loud. Is it? Yeah. Is honey? What do you, is it truly honeycomb?

No, that's just kind of like visually. It looks like honeycomb, but it's a polypropylene. Okay. Which sounds like something they would steal on Breaking Bad. We got to stop this. Polypropylene. It's the bottleneck. Yo, I don't have any polyphe hookups.

the white. I have one Heisenberg. Dad, we can't have any polymorphylane. It's ruining our family, dad. Ain't seen. That was a polypropylene

seen from back in the day. Had had. Oh, man. Funny stuff, guys. Funny stuff. Anything else on your hearts and minds? I have a win of the week that is on my hearts and mine.

Can I do my win in the week? Yep. Is out of my heart. My mom turned 70 yesterday. Wow. 70 years old. Happy birthday. I don't know if it's one of those like she doesn't want to be known this.

She's 70, whatever, but like, I don't know. That's a milestone. And she's lived a great life. And my parents just went on like a two-week cruise, river cruise out, like. River cruise. Yeah, they went to like Europe. They went to like hunger. on up to Czech Republic and Munich and all these different places.

yeah we know Sam Hanager so yeah we went with them and it was a good time we remembered that a year ago or last time Nate was in town without planning it we sat just like two rows behind Sam and Ashen Oh. It was like, this is fun that we were back again, like when we kind of like saw each other in public.

That's kind of crazy. That's how Gunner and Emily and I and Catherine went to dinner beforehand, but we didn't have tickets together, but our tickets were also like four rows apart. It's like, how does this, that's crazy. It's also crazy just being in there and looking like, wow, this is so many people.

Yeah. Perform comedy for it. Is it T-Mobile? I've still never been in there. I want to go to something. Oh, in there sometimes. Yeah, if you, If you, uh, Jackson Dart fan, you could, you know, be more of a sports guy.

I am. And a big Jackson Dart guy. Guy. Bye. My comment of the week is from Trist M. 3232. My favorite segment is when Brad thinks he's getting scammed, but ends up being real calls every time. That is good. You're just, you're praying it's a scam.

So it's fun. Hey, this is Brad? That's so fun. Oh. I should have known better that time. It had, like, their name on there. These days, they're getting good, though, dude. They're getting, like, you got the same area code.

You got, sometimes it's wireless caller instead of scam likely. Yeah. They, they trick you. I don't like how much access they have to our phone number. It's one thing to knock on our door and solicit. But it's just like, yeah. Some people have my phone number now. Just like some random roofing company yesterday called me.

Dude, the roofing people are going hard in our neighborhood on my phone. Yeah, via phone. yeah i got text just while we were recording this uh my my comment of the week is simple from spotify robin she said i love this podcast it's the best yeah yeah yeah raise the roof yeah yeah thank you robin sometimes it's the simple ones like that just mean the most you know so comment of the week robin yeah nothing wrong we're just a simple i love this podcast it's the best it's the best in podcast number one Steady hot, steady lesson.

Derek Hothstettler on Spotify said, true fact. Ghostrunners type beats will be my number one artist on this year's Spotify wrapped. Specifically love boom, boom, Anna and the Sportage, and any kids love Mouse in the House. That's fun. That's so great. Number one is, that's high. That's a lot of jazz. He's an Apple music guy, except for, you know, Ghost Rer's type.

Yeah. He's listening like three times. No, that's awesome. That's amazing. It's a good one. Which one? I can't even remember what that is. Anna, oh, Anna.

Oh, Anna. Yeah, all the AI ones. Mm-hmm. It's impressive. We just don't appreciate originality anymore. We just need AI. Thank you. That's my commentary on that. Thanks for saying it. Commentary of the week.

Do you have any disdain towards, like, an email that you can tell is written by AI? Yeah, I do. Call people out for it. Call people out? I did this week. You respond? You're like, hey. Yeah.

That was AI. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I just, I'm like, I understand. understand. It's one of those things where it's like there's been so many useful tools and I've never been bothered by people using the useful tools before. But this one's too useful and so therefore I'm bothered by it. Yeah. I've seen a lot on just like Facebook

captions. Like you can't caption your own photo anymore. Oh. And now I've seen all these you just tell. Between the hyphins, the way it's worded or the emojis that you just know when it's AI. It's like you can do your own caption. Yes. I know you can. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, like, for whatever reason, it's just like, come on. Yeah, just, we're going to lose all of our creativity if you can't even just do the small things. Yeah. So anyway, I just, I got an email the other day. I was like, dang, this is, this was helped by AI for sure. Like, either that or it was copy and pasted from some, you know, this is what you should send for your email. And I'm just like, uh, okay. Yeah, there's a local pickleball girl always posting stuff. And yeah,

just so AI, just like, if we lose this, if we lose our own personal accounts, to AI, we're done for. Yeah, so. Timing, think about that. Yeah, think about it. Next time he's AI. You're right. Okay.

Sorry about those songs earlier, guys. Those songs were great, dude. That was fun. Which one? I don't know. I liked them all. I really liked the homeschool one. Yeah, I think my favorite might have been the first one.

The first one, whichever. I feel like I was kind of Zach Bryan style. Also, I think if we did the greatest showman, a full version, we could, like, sell some streams. Yeah, plug that bad boy in, really get a good recording. Yeah, yeah.

We could bring back the guitar and plug it into that quarter inch jack back there. I bet. Oh, dude. This could be, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. One last thing I thought of, just quick fantasy football,

guillotine update. Almost got double-chalked again. I got chopped last week, and then this week I was in last place the entire week and kind of got lucky and casting Miles on birthday week. See ya. See ya.

See ya. Yeah, you did get lucky. Yeah, I'm a stinker. Michael Pinnock's is the stinker. Yeah, he really is bad. I, you're close, but you're fine. I was going to say, I'm close, but I'm fine, and I'm trying to just stay strong with not,

I didn't make for anybody yet. Yeah, I'm like, if I can make it past, let's say, whatever this week is, like with all my money, I think I'll start, start spending. Yep. So, I'm with you. I'm going to see how many. To step it up.

He's playing real bad. Yeah, we got the same thing going on. It's like, this guy should, like, it should re-correct itself, right? He can't play bad every game. As long as he, like, he's like halfway corrects. Like, Patrick Mahomes, too. I've had Mahomes, and he's like, he's not lightening up like I think he... Luckily, he's been rushing the first two games.

True. But, yeah, I'm going to see how many weeks in a row can come in second to last. That's kind of a fun challenge. Survive in advance. Survive in advance, baby. We're 100 points. Page is still in it. Kick her page.

Yep. And she's not even, like, getting close, is she? she's doing great yeah like she's like not ever even in danger of losing you know what's crazy is freaking Canadian Curtis who like I think two weeks in a row has been projected to come in dead last because his team so bad had by far the most points scored which shows how little we all know about face football but yeah those projections mess with me every time though so far off but I believe them or I second guess every decision I'm like like Travis Hunter right now is says projected four points and so I binged him

Should I? Because all it takes is one touchdown and we're good. It tells me Stefan Diggs is going to score 18. I'm like, really? He's scored less than 10, three straight games. You think 18 this week? Yeah, for sure. Okay.

Yeah, two is getting 45. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, baseball talk. We're still in it. We're not done. That was pretty funny. Cassidy's team name was, we're not done.

And it's like, we're halfway through Monday night football. We're close to being done. We're almost done. Yeah. And then once you got a love you. We're done. That was funny. Funny stuff.

All right. Thanks for listening, guys. Tell your friends about our sponsors and our podcast. We'd appreciate that. Please. Love you guys. See you Monday. Ghosts on this podcast.

Everybody in morning morning and taking around. Ghost on this podcast.
