Either way, you can...
Either way we're rolling.
Either way we're rolling.
Rollin.
Joel, we're rolling,
a.k.a. it's time to start the podcast.
Is that who said that to you, Joel?
Joel Billington.
Oh, that dude's kind of a hater.
No, really?
Is he?
Joel, you hatred.
Oh, yeah. Every time last year the Chiefs who went a game,
he would, like, post on the Facebook group
complaining about the refs.
Well, sorry, Joel.
Chiefs have won two in a row,
aka we're back.
Yeah, he's getting on to you for using the term A.k.a.
Yeah, A.k.a. He's more of a pistol guy.
A.K. I don't know. Yeah, A.k.a. He thinks, yeah, I understand what he's saying.
Like, hey, you should only use it for also known as. I think A.k.a. Let's search it. Have you
searched it?
No. What do you want me to search?
Just search, search A.K.A. and see what the meaning is.
AKA meaning.
AKA can refer to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated.
So don't tell me it's only also known as.
Yeah, good point.
I mean, it seems like it's used to introduce a person or a thing's alternative name.
A nickname or alias.
It's commonly used for stage names, nicknames, such as David Bowie,
aka Ziggy Stardust.
Dang it.
Or James Brown, aka the godfather of soul.
Time and Imsh.
A.k.a.
A.k.a. DJX.
DJX.
Hey.
Time and impsh, aka homeschooler's heartthrob.
Oh, H-squared.
Time and Imch, aka Midge's Whidge.
The Midge Widge.
Time and Mimsh, aka what was Mr. Devonshire.
From Sense and Sensibility.
Mr. Willoughby.
yeah time and impsch a.k. A.k.a. A.k.a. A.k.a.a. Scorsese, baby. A.k.a.a. Timean Imch. A.k. Okay. Tiamm. W. W. W. I learned that this week. I just remembered that. I can't believe we're talking about your name and that just comes up. It's not my middle name. Oh. I just thought to be kind of silly. But it's, it's just William.
Time an M's a.k. A.k.a. Trix. Liar.
Lyer. Ever since the midge thing, I'm just like, I always lie all the time.
Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts
in white, me 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 from his podcast.
Yeah, I saw that somewhere online.
I was like, I don't think I knew it was Wilhelm.
But it's not.
So glad we figured that up.
AKA William.
Man, I understand.
Maybe I'm just too set in my ways with the AKA.
Am I wrong?
Should I stop doing AKA?
What should I say instead of AKA?
Because you use it as in...
As in like, translation, this.
So maybe it's more of a translation thing.
I was running.
for church, aka we were coming in hot.
Yeah, aka I was stressed.
Yeah.
Also known as.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's one of those things that I think we kind of let it slide, like pin number.
I'm not going to correct someone every time they say pin number.
I know.
And maybe I've just let it slide so much in my own head that I'm like, it's right.
But now that I'm really like really thinking about it, maybe it's not.
But I think it's like one of those things where it's like, hey, it's just the culture
accepts it.
And maybe the culture doesn't accept it.
Maybe I'm just an idiot.
it. Joel doesn't.
Well, does Joel represent the culture?
Is he the vocal minor?
Vocal minor.
Anyway.
Welcome, Ghosties.
Happy Monday. Happy Monday.
Happy Monday, a.k.a. beginning of the week.
AKA, it's going to be a great day.
What else have people told us we do a lot lately?
I think it's a, we say the word truly in every episode.
Yeah, adjacent.
Oh, yeah, Jason. Is that me or you?
If it's not, if it's not only me, it's definitely.
at least some me. I like me. Or I like adjacent. I like adjacent. I sit adjacent to you. So it could
be either one of us. Yeah. I think I saw someone say that we say potentially a lot. And I didn't know that
was like a unique thing to say. Once again, whatever those words are, adverb, whatever the LY words,
I like the LYs. Truly, genuinely, seriously, intentionally, adjacently, adjacently, a.k.a.ly.
I don't know if we need the word adverb.
The more I'm thinking about everything you're saying,
like intentionally, purposefully, potentially,
it's like, yeah, are these adverbs?
Are these just adjectives, right?
Are they just describing the next word?
I think adverb is like unneeded.
Just call them all adjectives?
Just call them all adjectives.
But, well, yeah, I'm not a grammar guy,
but does that, could an adverb live by itself?
Like, an adjective seems like it could be like,
hey, that shirt is blue.
but if you say that chart is seriously
or if you're like
hey is that shirt blue and you say
potentially
it could live on its own
okay
but yeah but it only lives on its own
if blue is precedent
yeah you going later
potentially potentially
yeah what's the
what's the adjective
are you going later
I don't know
later
let's let's talk to someone's
harder in us. Chat cheap E.T.
Claude? You guys
gone on the clock train yet? Never have.
All aboard. I'm going to chat
these days.
All right. That's a fun
question. And actually, pretty deep one
linguistically.
They're using adverbs in the...
How would DJX say that time in?
Hey, what's going on? That's a great
question. Let's dive in logistically
and stuff.
And stuff.
I wasn't...
Diving in logistically closing
it out. I wasn't paying enough attention. I didn't think you'd ask me to recite it word for
wood. Here you go. Here's why we need the word adverb and why we can't just use adjective for
everything. Okay. They modify different things. Adjectives describe nouns, a fast car, a happy dog.
Happy dog. And you can come a better example than that. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives or other
adverbs. That seems like circular reasoning. So far, I don't accept this. Okay. He runs quickly.
modifies a verb.
It's very hot.
Modifies an adjective.
I think I would like to live in a world
where in English we say,
oh, he used a double adjective.
Yeah, he double adged.
Yeah, that's way better to me than like,
well, does it modify an adjective?
It's a double-adged sword.
Double-hage sword.
Yeah. That's great.
That's a double-edged sword.
Like the oven is very hot.
I say one of the favorite things I like to use in
in grammar as far as like a phrase
is pastpartum simple.
Pass part of simple is a fun work.
Michael Scott.
But I'll say this right now.
Double-adged sword is if you're like, hey, you use double-edged sword in a sentence.
Can you imagine if people, like, you're reading your essay back in high school and, you know,
either good or bad, you see the teacher on the side of like little call and say,
nice double-adged sword.
Yeah, they draw a little sword.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you extremely kindly for that.
A.k.a.
You're a great teacher.
I appreciate it.
yeah she spoke extremely softly modifies another adverb if we call both of these adjectives
we'd lose clarity about what is being described not in my head not in my head she spoke
extremely softly two different ways to describe how she spoke what about the happy dog situation
though that is just adjective that's not adverb that's the happily dogly happily wouldn't work
see they were confused oh my
that that dog ran happily and slowly mm-hmm double-hatch sword double-edged sword
so that's how we were always planning on starting this episode out this is good though
we're becoming an educational podcast before our eyes last week was kind of imperial metric this
week is grammar with DJX 5280 feet in a mile yep got it let's go I'm never going to forget
it you don't think quiz me every week and I won't okay that's tough
of mind you know i've got a note in my phone or i've got a reminder of my phone that sometimes
will pop up i think there's a quiz coming for you in like january i already forgot what it was though
but there is something where i think you were like remind me next january to do this or quiz me
about this we should do that more often i know anything we need to remind ourselves of a year from now
in october rachel probably like a year or so ago told me how much our couch cost and i was
like that's unbelievable that you still remember how much the couch cost i know it's been a year
but I don't know, I would have forgot that.
She's like, ask me 10 years.
I'll still know how much the couch cost.
Wow.
And so I was like, in my note, 10 years from now.
Yeah.
Remind me to ask Rachel how much our first couch cost.
Well, and now I just said it out loud, so I reminded her.
And so now she's like going to, yeah, she's going to reset the timer basically.
Dude, Catherine, and maybe I'm wrong, but we had the discussion in Colorado.
We were talking about our fake Christmas tree.
And I had a number in mind of how much we spent for.
She's like, no, we didn't spend that much.
I was like, I know we did.
Yeah.
Remember that?
I saw it.
fought in front of you. Two great minds battling it out. And it was just like, yes, we did. No,
we didn't. That was our justifications back and forth. It was really good. It was hard to really
pick aside because you said, no, I remember. I remember. She's like, I was the one that did all
the research and bought it. Oh, wait, no, that was you, Brad. So, no. Anyway,
Hey, but love you, Joe Billington. Love you, man. Thanks for, thanks for hating on the pod, man.
We need, we need you, man.
no he was he was kind about it you know not trying to make me feel self-conscious i don't i've
i feel self-conscious about plenty of things joel all right you don't don't worry about add one more
thing to the list don't it worry about a little ad for a little aka well what's that wide body
paddle you got there brother oh hey oh this that thing is nice looking the new magma color way
which actually does a good in person it looks like a friday fever but it looks a little different in
shape. It's so wide. Yeah, widely, widely loved and widely made. Pardle like this. I bet the whole
paddle is the wide sweet spot. Good. It's like Sunday school, you think every answer is Jesus.
Yeah, pray. Pray. Go read my Bible. That is kind of funny. Yeah, just like no matter what the
question is it's that new school it Jesus reached into the basket and he gave everyone
Bibles God God's the cross he saw he spoke to the woman at the
Bethlehem God God God again um yeah the whole paddle feels like the sweet spot that's
but this sure this isn't just uh a new paint job and uh a
new, you know, shape.
No.
This is new construction, too.
We included a first of its kind.
Well, honeycomb.
Honeycomb.
Honeycomb.
These are all the right Bible.
Carbon fiber.
T2 carbon fiber.
Oh, yeah.
You're, yeah.
You pay attention.
That's good.
T2.
Foam.
Scott's going to love this.
Inner foam.
Moldof foam.
We actually did do something that would be hard to guess that we haven't.
seen any other company do.
Maybe they've done it and just kept it quiet,
but we put rubber and got it.
Yes.
Okay.
Rubber in the paddle.
Oh.
It's got a fun.
And that's legal.
Yeah.
Because like corking your bat,
that's what cork in your bat was.
Does it have some good pop now?
Yeah, basically you can kind of do whatever you want.
But to get approved, they run it through this machine and like, all right, well, can't just
be too poppy.
Cool.
Yeah.
And he got laying around, we can throw in a paddle.
You have, like, plywood.
or probably would we be would not as be as good as definitely any polypropylene honeycomb core we could
use i have a tree in the back we could see what kind of i think i got pine cones see if they got
some honeycomb back there i thought for a long time honeycomb was literally what was in it literally
honeycomb why i was like why i got to go to china are the bees better that's crazy yeah no wonder
yeah these things are so much better like pretty rare it just describes kind of the shape
which is kind of this hexagonal grid.
We're like, that looks like honeycomb.
I'll just call a honeycomb.
It's called Honeycomb, Core.
Hey, I call a honeycomb a honeycomb.
That's how I see it.
Those do look good, though.
And it does look huge.
Yeah.
You know what's funny?
Is there's not, like, technically there's not like a,
I want to try to say.
It just seems very like elementary or like rudimentary.
There's not like a legal limit to how much like total surface area
or total like square footage you can have on a paddle.
It's, they basically just say,
length plus width can't be above 24 which like is the same thing as surface area but something about
just like calculating it out very simply like they don't use the word surface area they don't use
square inches or square footage or like take the length and inches width and inches less than 24
length plus width meaning okay so just like the whole paddle not like 16 oh oh oh yeah so you can
have a tiny little handle if you wanted to yeah
Interesting.
How, yeah.
Yeah, so now I'm just thinking of ways to hack the system.
I know.
Like, do you just, that'd be a fun video to just, like, make a bunch of prototypes of just ridiculous ones that are technically legal.
That's a good video idea.
Thank you.
These paddles are technically legal.
Oh, and have a little stump, two fingers on it.
Because, like, you know, a lot of baseball players these days are holding the bat, like, gripping their bottom hand underneath the bat.
You know what I'm talking about?
Oh, where, like, you know, their pinky hangs off a little bit.
Right.
So make the paddle or make the handle a little bit smaller, make it wider.
Make one that's like ridiculously wide and short and just like you can just scrape everything called the scraper.
One's mainly just a handle.
There's not really a spot to hit.
I bet you could swing it so hard.
Yeah.
It'd be light.
There is a company that tried, they called it the spoon where they tried to like a pretty small paddle, a really long handle.
You know, the idea was like very, very little drag.
And, but you have such a small service area.
So I mean, it's tough.
They thought that you would actually be able to play.
real games with that. It wasn't like a training tool. I know because some people make a
training tool. No, they were like, I saw people in PPA tournament playing with it. No way. I didn't
see them playing in the pro division, but I saw them playing. I didn't see them winning very much.
I'm playing a lot. Because you do. I mean, yeah, you can whip that sucker around. It's like swinging
a butter knife. But yeah. Anyway, yeah, new paddle. Okay, new paddle. You call it just a fever
102. The 102. The fever got a little hotter. Oh, I really can't go to school now. It's up to
102. How much does Scott love that red?
he probably likes it a lot yeah that's good looking red honestly i like it right bump
we don't have the shoes to match tariffs are hidden not gonna have shoes in time probably
see that no yeah new tariffs coming in november 1st 125% tariffs versus what like what was it
before i don't actually know okay i i haven't been following that as much as you obviously i i
don't know i don't yep it's been pretty nice being away from most things these days like i'm
just like, I don't, Catherine was like, yeah, do you hear about this?
I was like, no, she's like, what?
She's like, well, this happened.
I was like, I don't even know the first thing you're talking about to make that thing happen.
Yeah, I'm pretty in the dark with, I think Rachel hears stuff at school.
And then she always comes back.
And he's like, so, yeah, I mean, the Gaza hostages ceasefire.
I'm like, ooh.
Yes, I know Gaza.
I know that's a thing.
Big thing.
Beyond that, didn't know.
Didn't know much.
So maybe we're, maybe we're just too blessed to be stressed, you know.
That's a good way of putting it.
six seven though i know that i wrote down in my notes this week don't say six seven it was going to be
a segment i was going to do a segment called call me old if you want okay permission to we all do
that same absolutely call me old if you want with this gen z gen alpha freaking time in six seven trend
is driving me insane okay one it's been around for like two years and now and now we're going
crazy with it?
Back to fiction, timing.
I don't know.
I think I heard about it like May.
So it's almost two years.
Not a good look.
Maybe one year.
You've seen it for a year?
Oh, yeah.
No, own it.
If you're old, you're going to own...
Die on your hill.
I feel like it's been around for a while,
and now it's, like, really popular,
and everybody's saying it,
and everyone's saying it.
ironically and everyone's saying and has tray made a video about it yet i don't know it'll that that's
that's when you know it's it's hitting but uh that's it's just me getting old i don't mind you know
everyone do your little jokes whatever but boy don't like you're done with it it's built on
nothing it's built on the sand correct can i can i can i say the best way to get rid of it is if
you and i start using it a lot like once once once
like so actually right before I came over here my mom always watches henry on
Thursday mornings when we record this because the rest of the kids are at co-op and my niece
came with her today she's 13 I think 12 13 middle school uh she didn't have school today to watch
henry and she said I asked her some question and she goes six seven or something like that
tell me more about this why what does it mean to you like because to me I've heard a million
different definitions. And she had a different one that I'd heard of before. She was just like,
it's basically like, oh, what'd she say? Like, you're trying to get attention or something. So you say
six, seven. Or like, my interpretation was six, seven means mediocre. Six, seven. So it doesn't
mean anything. That's what I'm saying. It's built on the sand. And then she goes 41. You heard that?
No, no. I don't like it. Apparently, that's another one. Like, but instead of going six, seven, up and down,
you just put your hands like this, go 41.
And she's like, it means nothing.
Yeah, it's the beginning of the end.
Correct.
Of a generation of our brains of AI taking over.
This started in December of 2024.
So not two years.
But one year, 10 months?
Yeah, start with a lamello ball.
TikTok.
Okay.
Saying that he was six feet, seven inches tall.
And that's all it took.
And then for the past 10 months, we've been going nuts.
I mean, think about it, though.
So it was kind of popular probably with, let's say,
college slash high school, and now it's gotten down to middle school to elementary.
That's probably how long most, like, you remember people were dabbing on the Jumbotron for
five years in a row because the kids hadn't heard of it yet.
But then all of a sudden, it's like, all right, dance cam.
And still this day, I guarantee you if you have a dance cam on, a kid will floss.
And flossing was popular when we were doing youth ministry.
True or false.
And see, true, I'm okay with dancing.
Okay.
It's built on something.
It's built on expression.
At least there's some kind of like, I'm okay with the dancing.
Dabbing was a little annoying because that's barely, I mean, you're barely moving enough to be considered dancing.
Yeah.
How'd you feel about bottle flipping?
That lasted so long.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, that's just a good time.
That's just, that's just American fun.
That's up there with flossing as far as expression goes.
That's good, just like poor people, you know, just backyard games.
I like stuff like that.
It's like, we don't really need anything.
Just a water bottle on a flat surface
Don't drink all your water
Yeah
Yeah leave a little bit
All right timing you can pipe in
Oh I don't know
I've made
I've made two water bottle flip trick shot videos before
They're on YouTube somewhere
Oh
Fan art
So I was I was into that
How many views I have

learn more at mx.ca slash y annex
honestly though dude if we start saying it's gonna work it's gonna work i guarantee you
like like like i remember back in the day when i worked at this church my pastor you know
whatever he was just he loved being entertaining love trying to be like cool but once he started
saying something it was like guaranteed it's not cool anymore squad goals was like a sermon series
he had. And I was like, I guarantee you, squad goals is now not cool because you're starting
to use it in a sermon series. Rachel's equivalent to that is like once it gets down to like the third
graders or so. She knows like it's been like high school, cool, middle school kind of cool. Now it's
too late. It's too late. Yeah. And the third graders are still into it. Yeah. They're like,
oh, ha, ha, big back. And she's like, all right, so we're out on this now. Yeah. Because it's got to the third
graders. So let's, and then maybe it like cycles all the way. It's a circle. So it goes down to third grade,
down to preschool and then preschoolers tell it to their parents our age and then we bring it around
and ruin it for everyone below us yep we're in the ruining phase yep so let's ruin that thing
let's we don't like it let's let's let's let's get any toilet ruin that six seven yeah yeah
right it's so bad time it makes you want to throw up it's terrible it's like yeah that's the
point yeah so it's like it's an anti joke it's not it isn't a joke
but it's, I don't know.
Everyone seems to be doing it to like poke fun of how dumb it is.
I'm like, well, if we all collectively agree, this is ridiculous, let's just go without it.
And that is why the segment is called, call me old if you want.
Yes.
I know how this sounds.
What, uh, is there anything else in the segment?
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
Uh, for now, for now.
Well, I have a kind of an adjacent thought, but not truly.
Here you go.
But my first thought is, what did we say back in the day that our parents,
were like, oh, my gosh.
Like, we used, we would take the first word or letter or two of a word and just put
isle after it, timing.
Oh, yeah.
And so instead of for sure, we'd say for shizzle.
And like, we were saying it to be fun, but also like.
I think that was like early texting days, too.
I feel like I, I typed that more than I said that.
For shizzle, yeah.
Yeah, we'd say that about all sorts of stuff.
I forgot about isle.
Yeah, that was one.
Yeah.
What sizzle, my whizzle?
You know, or whatever.
It's like, well, yeah, my dizzle, you know, my dude, my dizzle.
Like, you know somebody if they had a podcast, you know, 20 years ago, we're like,
why are these people saying, isle after everything?
Yeah, yeah.
They sound ridiculous.
This is the end of our generate.
Like, what other things like that that we did?
Yeah, I'm curious how, like, if six, seven will be a big enough thing that it's like,
I'll remember it in 20 years.
Is that like, I kind of hope not, but I kind of feel like I will.
I don't know, because there's so many trends these days
that you're not going to remember all of them,
just like we didn't remember all the things we were saying.
Yeah, it's true.
Because, like, there's so many things that I've heard recently
that I'm like, I've never, I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah.
You know?
But, yeah, like for shizzle or, I mean,
some of the toys that we loved, like,
let's just do a quick quiz with Timon.
For show.
Fos show.
Yeah.
If some time, or, yeah, somebody says,
hey, what's up?
This is on a text or instant messenger.
And you say NMJCU.
What does that mean?
JCU.
NMJCU.
What's up?
NMJCU.
Nothing much just.
I don't know.
Yeah, you're right there.
You've got the first three.
But I don't know what would happen.
But I don't know what would happen.
Just counting up.
Just counting up.
Just counting up.
One, two.
What's going on?
Nothing much, just counting up.
Oh, sorry, keep going.
Three.
I want to say four.
Stop before you go to for him.
Nothing much, just, just, just, just, you said, see you?
Not that much.
I was going to say like chilling out, but.
Oh, you're right there.
Nothing much, just chilling.
A, NMJC, period, you, question mark.
Uh, another much, just chill.

Yep.
Okay.
Remember the word crunk?
Yep.
Love crunk.
What about crump?
You ever heard of crump?
Is that a dance thing?
Yeah.
It's an aggressive fight dancing.
Awesome.
Yeah, if someone knows how to do it, it's pretty fun to watch.
Yeah.

oh yeah
I used to yeah

First thing I did this morning was grab my left ankle and start itching like a madman.
Ouch, out, out, out, out.
Etchy, itchy, ouch.
Stuff like that.
Mm-hmm.
So on and so forth.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what happened.
I'm really hoping it's not bedbugs.
Oh.
But truly, like, my left ankle is just like eaten alive.
Dude.
And I go, whoever is freaking spray in my house.
It's like they're spraying food for the pest.
Here you go.
Here go pests.
Yeah, like if I had signature pest control in Kansas City.
Yeah.
Your life would be saved.
Unfortunately, they're not in Kansas City, but they are in Utah in the Salt Lake Valley.
Fortunately, they're willing to travel somewhat in Utah.
To the valley.
But yeah, I'm truly, that is a real story that happened this morning.
First hand, I'm like, man, it sucks if there's bugs in your house.
I'm tired of it.
Yeah, it is.
And I will say, we also use a local pest control company.
And if you do contact them, they're usually pretty responsive.
they're pretty quick to come out.
And so once again,
I think signature pest control
is very good at that as well.
So like using a local company,
at least they'll try to fix it
rather than like, okay, you know.
Not get around to it or respond or something.
Or be like, hey, our policy is like once a quarter,
that's all.
Sorry.
We're not even to respond to you.
You can't even find a phone number.
Signature pest pro.com has a great way to talk to them.
They're ghosties.
They're ghosties.
You trust them.
I think so.
Yeah.
Christian family owned operating.
for 20 years with 30 plus years of experience in the field.
That sounds good.
You're going to get 50% off your first service.
Yep.
It's going to feel like it's free.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get a service plan.
It'll make it worth it.
And then you won't have to wake up itching like crazy.
I did not like that.
No.
Because you don't have signature pest pro.com.
Synerch pest pro.
Dot com.
Signature pest controls.
The company, either way.
Use the promo code GRCCC.
Tell me you found them from Ghostrunners and support them.
Get the bugs out of your friends.
freaking house in bed, whatever it is.
Get the bugs out of your freaking house.
That's their, that's their, that's their, that's their, that's their, that's their, that's,
like, second line.
That's what they're saying.
So you can Trapezst control.
Get the bugs out of your free.
The bugs is a freaking house.
So you can't tripest pro.
com.
Well, I actually made a list of this.
This is what the game I was going to do last week.
Let me see if I can find some of them.
Other, like, millennial 2000's words, uh, bling, bling, bling.
Bling.
Never heard that one.
So, then it would get shorted down to just bling.
Yeah.
Now it's nothing.
Bling.
Yeah.
Is that just, like, calling somebody?
No.
Bling,
or like...
That's like a ring.
J.C. you?
Well, because isn't...
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Bling, bling.
I thought, okay,
bling feels like,
oh, it's like fancy.
Yeah.
Stuff.
Okay.
But also, isn't the Drake song
Hotline bling about like
the phone blinging?
Phone blinging away.
Bleeding blinging.
Bleeding bling.
I feel like that's what that is about.
Maybe it's a good context clue there,
but no.
Bling, bling, bling, bling,
like flashy, like jewelry. I see.
Yeah, you got bling. What about a Limewire virus?
I don't know. Yeah, where does it affect the body?
Or Limewire virus. Do you know what Limeware? No. You know a virus.
Virus, I think. My first thought was computer. I could thought was body. Good.
Lime wire back in the day was the way to, one of the very popular ways to illegally download music.
Oh, nice. And so you would get virus.
Correct. You got to have something called a fire.
You heard that?
Yeah.
I've heard that word.
Firewall was like, I mean, they must have made plenty of money just freaking people out.
Like, you need a firewall.
Oregon Trail.
Oh, yeah.
Computer game.
Also a card game, but I think computer first.
Computer.
I don't know about the card game.
It's like kind of pixelated looking.
Yeah.
Died of dysentery.
What does it mean to call collect?
No clue.
Call collect.
I'm going to say you're,
calling. It's like a phone book, but on like where you access it by calling it. You're like,
oh, I'm going to call collect and see who, whose number is what. Okay. That's my guess.
That's not it. But that's an interesting point too. Catherine made the point when we were driving back
from Vail. She's like, how did my mom know where to reserve a spot every year back in the day?
And I had to think about it. Yeah. How did you go on vacation? Yeah. In the 80s.
I know that sounds, that makes us sound like we're idiot. Young guy?
Call me young if you want.
Call me young if you want.
But how did you know, like,
seriously, how did you book a cruise?
How did you know that was a good hotel
in Grand Junction, Colorado?
When you're so used to doing research now,
like, all right, I need to go to Dallas for the week.
Well, let's look at hotels and let's look at,
is it close to where I'm going to be?
What did you do?
The lodge looks nice.
So, yeah.
You use call or you just,
you drive there and use book something?
So I think that might be the answer
is what time was basically thinking call collect was,
I think that's what you use an operator for.
Maybe?
I never used, I feel like we were past the operator stage because we had phone books and
like had all that kind of ability. Maybe the internet kind of killed the operator.
I remember watching the Andy Griffith show, Andy Griffith show and wishing I had like a Sarah
to be like, Sarah, get me this person. I always thought that was funny. That's a good point.
Like maybe they just had so many flyers for everything. Or maybe you just drove to Grand Junction,
Colorado. I don't know why I keep you using that example. And when you got there, you're like,
that's why they had the vacancy, no vacancy signs. They're like, well, that one doesn't have,
they have vacancy.
but even driving there
you got the map up
I would love
I would love to go back to the map
I think
I think that'd be kind of fun
Tommy you know what
Ask Jeeves is
Jeeves I think of
like a butler
Mm-hmm good
Is that a millennial thing
What if you asked him
Fetch me something
Kind of
Digitly
This was like kind of pre-Gogle
Oh really?
Yeah it was like a search engine
Oh really there was a
Yeah it was called
Asked Chiefs
Oh, never heard of that.
How do you rewind a movie?
How?
I'm guessing there's like a dial involved.
Okay.
Or, no, maybe me hold a back button.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yep.
You don't have to hold it.
You could just press it.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
How long would it, let's say a two-hour movie.
How long do you think it takes to rewind?
You're talking like VHS.
Two-hour VHs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Four minutes.
Less.
yeah honestly two maybe did you ever see it we never had one but I knew some friends who had one
and like blocks but assert have one they had a quick rewind machine dude you ever see those of course
the rich kid oh yeah yeah yeah same Dwyer had one like you have a you have your own like VHS
rewind or all it does is rewind so like normally you would put it the movie in your VCR rewind it
you know and you put it back on the shelf you know be kind rewind right but yeah there are these
devices it just it looked like a VHS case but you go in and just like
rewinds your movie for you.
Never had, never had one.
What about a pager?
What's a pager?
Dude, I barely know what a pager is.
Fair.
Me.
I picture like a just,
same with call collect.
Old looking machine,
but like a lot of tactile buttons,
it's like white,
you just go,
and you page it.
It's like once you click that button,
you paged somebody.
Like industry uses this,
offices and,
uh,
desk jobs.
Des job industries.
It's my guess.
I still don't quite understand
exactly how a pager worked like did it have a cell signal of some sort to like connect to a tower
so basically it was just like this like it was before you had a cell phone you'd have a pager
and you just get something on your pageer that would say please call this number and so you could
like notify that person i believe to then go get on a phone and call that number yeah it's like
you couldn't respond but you did get like a few pieces of information yeah 9-1-1 call me yeah
time oh wow okay you got to call them i guess
huh
this is kind of relevant to the
there's a chat that I'm on and Oliver's also on it
he said a picture of 67th Street
a sign for that and then I sent a screenshot
of my unread text being 67
then he sent it back a screenshot of his battery
being 67% it's just infiltrated
it's all it's everywhere
so that was to that was like in the last hour
you see it everywhere now
yeah that's probably true
yeah I think Rachel said like
their school is like banned
from like saying it because in math it would just come up all the time math it's just like
you can't get through anything so my niece said there's some like they call it the focus seat
in band class and it's like what happens if you get in trouble and you have to go to the focus seat
if you say six seven now so wow uh okay I think I just have two more what's a game boy color
I'm confused okay what I just like game boy but now you can it's a color screen yeah nice
pretty cool huh yeah
When would you hear the term, you've got mail?
Just on your old computer when you get an email, maybe?
From what company?
There was one company who would say that.
Oh, no clue.
The only one, Google, probably not Google.
Good, good try.
Okay, let's, what does AOL stand for?
I don't know that.
AOL's the answer.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I don't know what I'm not getting a guess.
America Online, which, oh, well.
Wait, what?
Yeah, just call it A-O.
Interesting.
J-C., you?
Just counting up.
All right, the last one I have,
well, it's two different.
Do you know what Furby is?
Yeah, didn't those come back or something?
Maybe.
I think just like a little stuffed animal.
Yeah, you kind of like also kept a lot,
or, you know, kept happy by feeding it and stuff.
Oh, really?
And Beanie Babies, you heard of Beanie Babies?
Yeah.
Okay.
We used to have a decent amount.
I don't know if we still do.
Do you know the process of recording over something?
Oh.
I don't think so.
Or, okay, wait, maybe you have like, you recorded, this is my guess.
You, like, there was something that was broadcast on TV or something like that.
You recorded.
Yeah.
But then you didn't have enough, you, like, ran out of space and you wanted to record something else.
You just, like, recorded it again on that same thing.
VHS
cassette.
I don't know.
And then is that it?
How often could you do that?
Or how many times?
Oh,
before it's like an expired tape.
Right.
Three.
Three.
I think it was unlimited.
I was going to say,
I don't know there's a limit.
Yeah.
Just keep going.
New movie every day.
Nice.
Sometimes we'd like do like a timer
of when we wanted it to be recorded.
Like we knew like,
hey, KU starts playing
the basketball game Wednesday night at seven.
I mean, we're not back from church till eight.
Let's start at seven.
We'll record it.
You'll see it like turn on to be recording and stuff.
Do you know what?
You've probably heard us talk about it before, but do you know what T9 texting was?
Oh, was this?
It was like just simplified or you could maybe like text without looking.
Like it's a simplified like button system or something.
Yeah, a little bit.
Like if you go like on the phone app where you go to like call someone, like how ABC is on two.
Yeah.
And D.E.F is on three.
yeah that's how you texted okay so you like kind of you know then the computer would try to
like piece together what you're trying to type yeah even though not every letter gets its own
button if you had to guess and I don't even know well I'll have to look this up for sure how many
minutes so you know what burn CD is you know how to what that means like just adding
tracks to a CD yeah like customizing your own CD what's what's the difference between burning and
ripping is that uh I think it's about the same okay ripping is a little more like technical sounding
I see.
I feel like ripping makes it sound like you take it off of something and put it on something.
I think I'm just old enough where I have burned something to a CD before when I was like seven years old.
Like I think I, yeah.
That's one of those joys I'm sad my kids won't experience.
It's so fun to be like, I made the CD.
I made this.
This is my 12 favorite.
I put dumb and dumber in the middle of it, the Bockebird song.
You know, how many minutes do you think per CD you can burn?
And this is where you know the answer?
No.
You don't.
Oh, like, you're, oh, your limit of, like, minutes worth of audio.
Is that what you're asking?
Yeah, yeah.
All the way up to, like, 35 minutes, an hour.
I think it was 90.
Let me, 80 minutes is what I'm seeing on Google real quick.
Good times.
Yeah.
I wonder how many of these things, like, I have subtly learned from you guys.
Yeah.
Like, I bet there's a decent amount of things.
We are your access to the outside.
because of like the years of the podcast maybe i don't know that's fair that's how i feel about a lot of
things in the 90s because of my sisters like i know music and movie references and toys and
fashion and stuff from before i was cool enough to know about those things yeah you know i mean yeah
do you know to crank that soldier boy you're familiar with that isn't that just isn't soldier boy
just like an artist he's just an artist okay but he has a dance lowly artist do you know what you say right
before cranked that soldier boy?
No.
I mean neither. Okay.
In MJC.
You!
That's what you do.
Yeah. 6.7.
And 6.7.
So that's that. That's that.
That's call me old if you want and then call me young if you want.
Yeah, it was kind of a nice, like, hey, we might be, it's all perspective.
Call me young if you want. Call me old if you want.
I really don't. I still have caught up.
But how did you take a vacation in the 70s?
Like, we should go to the beach.
I know.
I think it was like, hey, let me tell you, here's the phone number of the place I went to.
Yeah, it's just all word of mouth.
Here's a flyer.
We went to a spot down in.
Oh, man.
If you had to rely on my dad to tell you where he went on vacation, no one would ever end up.
You know, like, are we went to a spot, what was it called?
Santa, no, something Spanish.
Green Acres.
Anna Marie.
Hmm.
San Dominguez.
I want to say Dominguez. Dominguez Island.
It was Dominguez for sure.
And it was on the...
Where's the sand?
Is it the sand east or west coast?
I think it was West Coast.
That is that big body water.
Huge body water.
Go down there.
It was a good old boy.
He runs a gas station down there.
We had a nice conversation.
His name was...
His name was John.
Drake. John, John.
John, I think.
Anyway, he can tell you how to get there.
Yeah.
He'll give you the map.
I might have the map.
No,
I threw the map way.
Yeah.
It is crazy because, like,
yeah,
Catherine growing up,
they went to the same beach house every year.
It's like,
how did they know that to find that?
Because it,
like,
she took me back there recently
when we went to Corpus Christi.
And it's this house,
like,
it's like this condo complex.
It's not very nice,
not like anything extravagant.
And I'm like,
how did you guys find this one?
Like,
what made you continue to go here?
But they loved it.
So it's all so fascinating.
Anyway,
So call me young if you want.
Here's something I kind of observed that I want to know,
relatable or nah, dude, slash call me old if you want.
Okay.
And I think it's,
I hope it's more relatable to Jake because I don't think Timon's going to quite relate.
Every single person I see these days or every single person I encounter or talk to,
vaguely, vaguely, vaguely, it's almost like a torture, torturous thing for me.
Vaguely reminds me of somebody else that I know.
You know what I mean?
It's like, it's like some mannerism or your eyes or your nose or,
Like the way you said that, man, that reminds me to somebody that I can't quite play.
Because I think I've met and encountered enough people in my life now to where it's starting
to be like, I think everyone has resemblance in some way to somebody else.
Yeah, that's decently relatable.
I feel like we've got a good personal network of like all our times at summer camp and
you know, all the people we know.
And I think it's been within the last, we'll call it five years or less.
Like it's like finally I'm firming.
Like even when I watch some football player on team.
TV, I'm like, man, that J.J. McCarthy, I can't quite, is it Forrest Frank? Or is it, you know?
Everyone either, it looks like you're acts like somebody you've already met.
Tymond, do you feel that? Definitely sometimes, but not like a constant, not what you're saying,
which I'm guessing makes sense because it's like, I don't know as many people as you do.
Yeah. As you get older, do you just purge? Like, do you only have a finite amount of people that
you can remember? And so, or is it just going to be harder and more torturous for me?
Yeah. Is our like, is our database just only going to grow or like as one comes in, one goes out? And it
kind of stays like this forever. Right. And like, you remind me of a guy, well, I don't know who he is
or where I would have met him. Yes. But you remind me as someone. Like just no. Like just everybody I
see now. It's like, dang, that guy, even a guy at the gym the other day, I was like, who, who does that
guy look like? And I couldn't figure it out. And it killed me for seven minutes before I finally was
able to get over it. You know, like, whenever you're like, oh, what is that thing that I was trying to
think of? Like, you had something to saying you forgot. I hate that feeling. That's how I feel every time I
see a new person now. So if you're a new person, just hide your face. Get out of his way.
Yeah. Please. My sister texts me late a couple nights ago. She said, this is killing me. I can't
figure out who this woman looks like. So she took a picture of someone who like took one of her like
fitness classes down Alabama. Like snuck a picture ever. And she said, this woman looks so familiar
to me. And I know she's in like a 90s or 2000s movie. You're like the only person who's going to
know how to help um i keep googling blonde muscular dyke i can't figure it out do you know which uh what i'm
talking about and then we went really back and forth about maybe it's that one girl from dodgeball
who doesn't look great and i said there was a girl at sb u who lived in beasley who kind of looked like
this and kately said wasn't me she lived in peaslee and then i thought it was uh i thought it was the girl from
Zoolander who like gives that one weird
massage and then I thought it was the
Marine biologist for 50 first dates
who's like I'm not as limber as I
once was never did get
to the bottom of it so was it
I mean I haven't seen the picture
do you remember Napoleon Dynamite
where he's like do you think anyone feels
bad for me because I go to home to Starla
at night? Remember that and they show
this picture of this super muscular like we look
at Starla from Napoleon
what's the quote exactly
Starla at night
oh that's definitely
wait
is that a man
at first I was like
oh yeah
it's just a man in a wig
Ty will add this
do you think anybody thinks
I'm a failure
because I go home
to Starla at night
do you think anybody thinks
I'm a failure
because I go home
to Starla at night
no that might be a woman
holy cow
she's jacked
wow
if you have to ask
is it yeah
good for her
yeah
Starla is Rex's wife
She's portrayed by Carmen Brady.
So, Carmen.
Carman.
Carman.
He thinks I'm a failure.
What does he say?
All right.
Let's talk about Mainstreetroasters.
Mainsteryroasters.com.
What do you want to talk about?
I want to talk about how good their coffee is.
I want to talk about how I've had two glasses of their cold brew today.
And man, is it fueling me right now?
I think everyone should do what Brad did is get yourself a nice little iced cold brew in a mason jar.
Yeah.
because it looked nice when I walked in here. Yeah, it looks nice.
There is something like, there's some kind of vibe about putting in a mason jar.
And like I put it in the mason jar.
Yeah.
Like I could have had a bigger glass of something else, but instead I was like, no, the mason jar just feels good.
I want to feel the like little, the little ribs of the cap when I put my lips on it.
What is that?
There's some kind of joy that comes from a mason jar, and I'll tell you even more joy when it's had, has mainstream roasters inside of it.
It is similar.
It's like the same kind of like edges or whatever you want to call it to like drinking out of a hose.
Maybe that's what it is.
Maybe it takes you back.
It takes you back.
So, yeah, just made a new batch of cold brew yesterday, so it's not nitrogenated yet.
So it's just flat cold brew, which means anybody can make that.
Hey, you can make it.
Every house has it.
It's been brewing for 24 hours now.
I'm going to have coffee for, I don't know, two months.
It's awesome.

But no, that's relatable.
And I got to keep my mouth shut because Rachel has told me before, like,
I'm always being like, oh, wow, that girl looks so much like this other girl I know.
And then I'll show Rachel and she's like, don't tell her that.
Yeah.
Not even close.
Really?
You said that?
It looks identical.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like don't.
And that's what it is.
It's like it's how I portray or how I translate what I'm seeing.
Like not necessarily accurately.
But it's like, man, that guy reminds me of Jake.
It's like, really?
How?
It's like, I don't know, but he does.
I don't know.
Talk to my brain.
It's one telling me that.
I don't know.
Oh, man.
Okay.
So here's a little little, what do you call it?
Conundrum.
mystery. Help me solve this mystery. This past week had a bonfire, or fire pit at my house and invited
a decent amount of guys. Had a decent amount of guys show up. It was really fun. And one of the guys I invited
was a guy that I knew from college. The name is Ben Roth. Okay. So Ben Roth also has recently
connected with Nathan, Nathaniel Glideville, our friend. Okay. So he, that, I'll just like,
gone. You're fine.
um so along with that along with him connecting with glide from church i saw him um when i was
visiting a homeschool co-op at had he's had he meets at a like they'd go to a church for this
homeschool co-op and i see this guy and i hadn't seen him in eight years whatever wasn't super
tight with him in college but like friends enough to where we like talked for 20 minutes good
good to hear from you you know he's dating this girl i think he's going to get engaged whatever
it was fun. It was like, I like that guy a lot. I'm going to, I'm going to, I'd like to get to know him
better. And so I see him in the, uh, group chat a while back for Glyde's baby shower that he was
having. Uh, and I was like, man, if Ben Rothson the same, uh, group chat as me, I'm a blessed man.
I said something like that. And glide, I see Glyde, you know, a couple weeks later. And Glyde's like,
hey dude, like, Ben says he like doesn't know who you are. And I was like, what? Oh. I was
like, no, no, no, like, I was like, he went to K State, right? And Glad's like, yeah, yeah, you
went to K State. He, like, doesn't remember who you were, though. And, like, I was trying
to tell him, like, you know, you do this and that. And he kind of seemed like he may be
pretended to know who you were after I said that, but, like, doesn't know who you are, man.
Glyde's trying to be so, you know, like, Ben's getting kind of freaked out. And I told
Glyde later, I was like, dude, I was like, dude, I was like, dude, he knows who I am.
I talked to him for like 20 minutes recently.
So anyway, don't end up going to this baby shower for Glyde with Ben there.
But I invite Ben to the fire pit.
I'm like, hey man, you know, we'd love to have you here.
It's me, Brad.
Yeah.
And he like has my number.
And he had actually texted me about this baby shower.
Like, hey, Brad, are you coming to this baby shower?
And so I was like, yeah, he figured it out.
We're friends.
So while this is all happening, he doesn't know who you are or like, what's the timeline?
I think maybe he like figures out who I am.
Okay.
Or whatever.
But I had his name.
name in my, in my phone, Ben Rock, in my phone.
That's from college.
From college.
Yeah, that's nice.
So I invite him to fire pit.
There's a bunch of dudes there.
I'm hanging out, talking to Glide and, you know,
glide's like, all right, man, I'm going to go, I'm going to go say, hey, to Ben.
And he, like, points over in this direction at this guy.
I'm like, that's not Ben.
Oh, no.
He's like, that's Ben.
Oh, no.
My bin that I know is built like Isaac McDoll, like tall, skinny, slender.
Okay.
This bin is built more like me.
like not even close to like oh bin's put on a few like it's like that's not been what are their names
their names are bent where are the last names both been so good question uh so i'm like i got to get
to the bottom of this how is this guy that's not that's not my this is a good mystery um so i go and
talk to him and this bin bin roth is very excited like brad like good to see you man i didn't
remember you at first and then i remembered like oh you're the guy from jean shorts comedy like yeah
I recognize this guy from your videos.
And I'm like, okay, but you don't know me.
Oh, yeah, but that's not where you're supposed to know me from.
We're not friends.
You think of we're friends?
That's your first sentence to him.
First thing's verse, we're not friends, so don't get it twisted.
Because Glyde, like, text me.
He's like, hey, man, Ben doesn't know who you are.
And I'm like, dude, I know Ben.
No, like Ben.
He's pretty popular.
He should know who I am.
I'm like, I really respect Ben as like a good.
He's a good Christian dude.
Like, and so Ben then gets all this stuff related to him of like, man,
man, this guy really thinks highly of me.
Brad's disappointed in me.
I don't know.
And I see this guy, I'm like, do I don't know who you are, bro.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I have your phone number.
I was like, so you went to K.
State?
He's like, when did you graduate?
It's like, I graduated and, oh, he graduated high school in 2019.
So I was like, oh, so we're not.
I don't know you at all.
No, like I graduated college in 2013, bro.
So why don't I have your phone number?
That's the mystery.
And so eventually I was like, dude, there's another guy named Ben Roth, who's a distant friend
of mine, obviously not super tight.
it all makes sense why
you know you know glide from church
because I thought Ben was working at this other church
but maybe I was wrong about that
I look up this other church
look up the staff directory
I was talking to a guy
my fire pit name Ben Roth
R-A-U-T-H
Ben-R-A-R-A-F, Ben-R-A-F,
Ben-R-A-F
and this whole time
I thought they were the same person
that shows how tight I was with Ben-Rough
been Rothersberger. However, the
mystery still remains, why is Ben Roth's phone number
in my phone? Who is this guy? You were texting the estranged bin
this whole time, this big bin. Big Ben. You were texting
Big Ben, thinking you were texting skinny bin. Bling, bling, hey, I'm texting you in
MJCU. Yeah. However,
I always had, like, when Glide sent this long, you know, invite out
for his baby shower, I looked at the people he
invited, you know, or people in this group chat. And Ben Roth's name was in there. Why do I have
Ben Roth's phone number? That doesn't really make sense. That's what's, that, that's the thing,
like, and so I asked him all these different questions of like, did you do ministry here? Did you,
how do you know? And we could not figure out. So what's your text history? Nothing.
Okay. Individual nothing. But also I wonder if I, I think I would have text history
otherwise. So do you also have Skinny Ben's phone number and you invited him to the fire?
No, because I thought, no, I don't have, because I was texting Ben Roth.
So Skinny Binns, I mean, nowhere a part of this story.
He was never in this story.
He was in the story when I saw him at that CC, like, co-op.
Oh, and I was, and talk to him.
And I was like, that's so tight that he's friends with Glyde now.
How fun is this?
I'll invite him over.
Oh, Glyde.
This guy's so good, man.
Become best friends with Ben, man.
He's a great guy.
And Glyd's like, yeah, totally.
Yeah, for sure, man.
He doesn't know who you are.
Huh.
So how in the world?
Ben's phone number, who you're friends with. You have non-friend Ben's phone number.
Obviously, I'm super tight. And you text non-friend Ben. Yeah. Because this non-friend bin, skinny bin,
college bin that was there when I was in college. Friend Ben. He was really tight with some of my
roommates my senior year. So that's how I'm, I'm more like a friend through those guys than I am like,
like I never hung out with this guy one-on-one before. Your friends via your friends. One of them drove
Mercedes-Benz. Yeah. And, uh,
yeah could only count like intense chickens chickens yet hens and was always say
up to shenanigans shenanigans yeah um but he anyway so like yeah i always like you know
how you have those people in your life that you're like i like i like that guy but like we've never
really become good friends okay you know what i mean like me and time in kelsey hanson i was i always liked
her growing up we were never tight why not i don't know
No. It was just one of those things.
She had the Benz.
Yeah, I had a different hands in my life, texting the wrong one.
Honestly.
And then I married a Captain Hansen and close enough.
So anyway, I don't know.
I don't know the mystery to the extent of like at the end of the night was like, dude,
we're going to be friends now.
We're tight.
Me and Ben.
That is.
That'll rock your world.
Such similar last names.
Both K. State.
Both Ben.
Both Ben.
I still want to know.
Like, how do I have your phone number?
Like, who connected us?
Because, like, maybe he'd be old enough to be in the minister,
like in the K-Life world with us, 2019?
2019 high school will be close to some of those guys that I did Bible studies.
Hey, let me get on Facebook.
See, if I know Ben, what's the last name of the one I should look?
I try to, R-A-U-T-H.
I don't even know if he's on Facebook.
Great.
I know.
One of those.
I saw it, Benjamin.
Anyway.
Good guy.
He does counseling in Kansas City
if you ever need a Christian counselor
works for abundant life.
Okay, now I'm officially freaked out.
Man, that's a good little mystery on your hands.
It was.
It was like, this is fun.
I want to know how I have this connection to you,
but I don't.
And I didn't figure it out.
That was fun, though.
Tom and I worked on a little mystery
that I've talked about the podcast,
the hair guy.
Oh, yeah.
Do you have those flyers?
Are they reachable?
Show him. Yeah, we finally filmed the documentary last week.
Yeah, how did it go?
Made some flyers just like for the documentary to hang up.
This is what he looks like.
It looks insane.
You can see why me and Molly were like, yeah.
It's not real hair, I don't think.
But anyway, really long day last Thursday for time.
And I was like a 13-hour day.
But it felt really good about everything we shot.
Really efficient.
There's actually one thing we weren't able to shoot.
We woke up what?
Saturday morning, 8 a.m., knocked it out.
Yeah. Wow.
And yeah, Timon has sent some
kind of rough drafts over.
It looked really, really good.
Of the mystery one.
Yeah.
Yeah. How's the editing been?
It's been good. It's been fun.
I don't know.
I think it's like, I like,
it's fun knowing the direction it's supposed to go
because there's some editing that's like,
I'm just going to make what I can of this,
but it's like, we have a script.
And it's like I can just go to that.
That's nice.
But yeah, I like it.
I'm happy with it so far.
It's funny.
I told Time, it reminds me of, like, starting a podcast with you when you never
listened to a podcast.
I'm like, Timon, I really trust you to edit and create, produce, film, a true crime
documentary.
He's never watched one.
You know, just, I kind of figure, you know, how aren't going to be.
I wonder if that, obviously, in some ways, that's a hindrance.
But in other ways, it's like, you can make it more original and creative yourself.
Yeah, you're not copying anything.
No, you're not like, hey, we're doing it like this thing, you know.
But then again, there's.
like certain things that they do sometimes because every documentary of course has its own
flavor and everything anyway but like some of like the fun like I don't know
sound effects or music or whatever yeah or flashes or red circles or what do you do with
the old B roll footage or yeah right we uh yeah we had a lot of fun shooting we got a lot of people
involved I'm really proud of what we did so far uh how long do you think it's going to be
I don't know four minutes maybe probably yeah yeah uh we got Zach involved of course he's
Zach plays the role of the narrator
in like a normal English voice
but then he also plays the role of our
facial recognition
expert. Okay. And he's Scottish for that.
Okay.
When he said English, you mean like American English?
Yeah, normal. Just like deep Zach.
And he's also a 911 call operator.
Oh yeah, he is. Yeah, he does play three roles.
Yeah. For the documentary.
That's fun. Yeah. Yeah, he was cracking us up.
Yeah, he was just trying to lease different voices.
because he only has one line.
It was just like,
we brought in a facial recognition expert
to look at, you know, these two people.
And he's like, these are the same person?
And then you hear time and behind the camera go,
like, how sure are you?
He looks at the camera.
He's like, I'd stake my pickle balls on it.
And that's it.
It needed to be really dramatic.
That's awesome.
Ended up with Scottish.
I like that, though.
It does feel like you have more credibility
when you're a different accent.
It's like, we brought this guy over
from, like, Europe to come, like,
take a look at this.
It's pretty legit.
like do people in are people in Scotland like fooled by the accent as well like oh this guy's
legit he's speaking this guy's a scholar or is it like no that guy doesn't know he's talking or like
oh they brought in someone from Texas yes this guy's legit honestly see because to me it's like
there's no way there's no way they're going to think that a yeah southerner I agree I feel like
there's no way you could then again like I feel like we're fool all the time by British people
doing American accents like then again they're like it's like in movies for
professional actors.
I don't know.
I don't think doing an accent for five seconds is hard.
I think doing an accent for like a whole part, though, is impossible.
Yeah, for over the course of like three weeks of filming, try to keep a consistent accent.
That would mess with me so much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It would be very tough.
I'd probably try to method, method that thing.
Because I think if you try to go in and out of it, you would just all of a sudden do
half and half and just struggle.
That would be a fun task.
It's like, all right, it's 20 shoot days.
I just got to be British for 20 days.
And if I do, the movie will be a lot better.
I do, but I bet it'd be really hard to go back.
I've had some friends one time.
Austin Butler?
Yes, Austin Butler.
I'm Austin Butler.
That's right.
Yes.
Like, I had some friends in college one time.
There was a friend who was like, I'm going to prank these guys and make them think that I'm British.
Okay.
And then I think he kind of, he had a hard time coming back.
How long did he prank been in his friends and bins?
Probably like a weekend, honestly.
But it was like a weekend straight of like,
yeah we like we like one weekend he was stuck dude i i know try it see what happens all right all right
yeah and i knew some friends who like like have you noticed you probably don't know maybe time
and you would notice more because you're more tonal than jake but like we notice how british people
ask questions like we would say like are you going to the movies or we'd say are you going the movies
and they would say are you going to the movies yeah they go down at the end yeah yeah yeah
Uh, yeah. Have you had lunch yet? Like, all of a sudden, I had some friends who would hang out, like, with other British people and that's how they would ask questions.
Really? Like, oh, have you seen it yet? It's like, don't ask me that. Don't ask me that. Don't talk like that. Huh. Have you seen it yet? Yeah. That would be the American version.
no American would be like have you seen it yet
yeah I'd be like a constant slight upward
and then the British could be like
have you seen it yet that that could be one
or like yeah English accent but the way that they would
like yeah tone it down like
are you guys hungry for some food
it's hard to go down
no that's American
are you guys hungry for some food
yeah that was British
yeah yeah food
fancy some crumpets
a bit of like a
had dipped down before the end.
And it was just, it was like, are you American or are you not?
Well, Zach did good with his line.
He did.
Actually, kind of.
Because we were like, all right, Scottish, that might be good.
Why don't you try like a different voice?
And we never got to that second one.
We couldn't find it.
So we were like, all right.
Yeah, kind of one and done.
What we have is probably good.
That's fine, actually.
Trust me, I'm better Scottish.
It's not going to get better than Scottish.
That's great.
I remember one time he was like, he did a line.
It's like, when all hope was lost for Jake.
And you're like, do it a different way.
And he's like,
when all hope was lost, it's like, I meant.
Yeah, no, keep your voice the same.
Yeah, yeah, sorry.
Just like, I don't know.
I'm not a good director.
Do it different.
Figure it.
Give us another option.
Don't be high pitched.
So yeah, can't wait for that.
That'll be out this Friday.
Yeah, documentary.
Okay.
It's kind of fun.
In the sumo, you did the sumos?
Did the sumos.
Yeah, you're out at the fire pit.
We were sumo wrestling around.
It was great.
Yeah, it was like, beat us in sumo suits, went $100.
Scott and TJ played unbelievable in the sumo suits.
It was insane to watch.
Yeah.
I think it was, like, I don't see them play all the time like you do, but it's like,
I think it was the best I've seen them play, and they were in these dumb suits.
It was insane.
Yeah, it was great.
We got a lot of clips out of just that.
And so then they played two games.
Like, all right, let's let Isaac and I hop in there.
I did not really anticipate what it would be like to enter the sumo suit.
That was awful.
Yeah.
I mean, like a fear factor type challenge.
Like, I can't believe of doing this for free.
It's so gross.
A post-used sumo suit.
Yeah, two indoor humid pickleball games.
AKA wet.
That's kind of confusing.
Let me break it down.
Also known as wet.
Wet.
Yeah.
And yeah, it's a full-on suit.
So, I mean, every inch of that suit is covered in wet, also known as sweat.
And so then you also put it on.
So, I mean, your legs feel like, your arms feel like.
Your neck feels it, you know, just really, really gross.
It's not even your sweat.
Not my sweat.
That's so much worse.
Yeah.
It's gotten DJ's sweat.
I love getting sweaty.
I do not like touching somebody else that's sweaty.
I'll sweat all day in my own sweat.
Yes.
But if you were to pour your sweat on me...
You're playing basketball and you're sweaty, no problem.
But then you have to guard somebody else that's sweaty.
It's like, get off of me.
Change shirts, dude.
Yeah, please.
I don't like this.
Can I get AIDS from this?
This seems like a lot of transfer of fluid.
Maybe.
But then, yeah, me and Isaac got out there and we're like, whoa.
Pretty hard to play.
like an inflatable suit.
How are you guys doing this?
I can't swing.
I can't do anything.
I can't move.
But anyway,
I think it was good
for the video that we lost.
That way it's not like,
beat us win $100.
And then we just never give anyone the money.
Like,
oh, all right,
we beat everyone.
Thanks for coming out.
So it was probably good that we lost.
It was hard to go left to right
or forward and backwards.
It was anything.
I think it was like just right arm movement.
Like your belly's huge.
Your arm is huge.
You have like no mobility.
Like every backhand,
you have to push your stomach in.
It's like,
all right, suck in, hit it.
All right, suck in.
you're like just patting yourself you're literally like shoving your stomach out of the way
yeah it's fun Thursday's a really long day but great day Jake I'm not a tattoo guy I'm not gonna get a
tattoo but if I're a piercing guy I'm a piercing guy everyone knows that only on places you can't see though
I don't like I want to be able to make sure I still have a job interview with all the piercings I have
you guys don't know Brad's got eight brats got eight piercings eight and a half if you count
what were you say about tattoos though if I had a tattoo if I were a tattoo guy I'm
Like I said, only piercings.
You're big on piercings, though.
Big piercings guy.
I would have a good rancher's tattoo.
Really?
And I'll tell you exactly where I'd put it.
Nostle to nostril.
Nost.
East to west.
Just straight on the nose.
Over the bridge.
Like a nasal strip.
Yeah.
I would put it right there.
Yeah.
It would because not because that makes more sense to put it there,
but just because I want people to notice it more than they notice anything else on my face.
Like, what's that?
I love good ranchers.
that much for where I want it to be on my nostril.
Welcome to the table. Welcome to my nose. Welcome to my face.
I support good ranchers. That's what they'll know.
Yep. They, as always, they do, uh, quite the promo. So you guys are going to get some money off
your, your meat subscription box. Uh, you're going to get, uh, free expended shipping.
And then you also get a free protein for life when you subscribe to any good rancher's box.
What is a good rancher's box? What is a good rancher's box? What is a good rancher's box?
What's that? Thank you guys for asking. It's a box of meat.
Mm-hmm.
it could be steak, it could be burgers, it could be pork, it could be chicken, could even be some
wild caught seafood. But it's just, it's just high quality, organic meat delivered right to your
door. Right. So get it. It's so good. You need to check them out this week. One of the things I want to
highlight the seed oil-free chicken nuggets. That's a good. They come in a bag. You put it in the
freezer, air fire, whatever. They're ready super quick. We were playing at the park this past weekend.
We're having such a good time. Catherine's like, I don't want these vibes to end.
You stay at the park with the kids.
I'm going to go home, make these nuggets real quick.
Come back with them.
Had a little picnic at the park with some nuggets.
Oh, that's great.
It was great.
She put them in a little aluminum foil wrapping, brought them to the park,
ate up every single one of those chicken nuggets.
So how many chicken nuggets do you like need to like make for your family at a park?
A whole bag.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Because they'll eat them all.
Yeah.
It's like one of those like liquid takes a form of this container.
Like however much good ranchers we give them, they will eat all.
They will eat all of it.
Yeah.
So go to good ranchers.
dot com. It's good ranchers. American meat delivered. Welcome to the table. And yeah,
missed out on the fire. Did you see? Like, somebody was like, I parked across the street because
there were so many people on your street. Wow. I bet there were like 40, like 35, 40 dudes there.
And so there's probably 35 or 40 cars there. Wait, I didn't piece that together. That was
your fire. That how those cars parked. Yeah. In front of my house. Yeah, it was tons.
And we did get, uh, the neighbor got mad at me. Yeah. Yeah. Let's hear about this. Listen, well,
Listen, AK, use your ears.
Yeah, pipe up.
I get it.
I think, just for the record, when I say this story, I'm not trying to be like,
Can you believe this?
Yeah, what the heck?
You're saying I get it.
But I will say, like, in my opinion, I get it, but also, I don't think it was that ridiculous.
I don't think you needed to say it.
That's all I'll say.
Sounds like you don't totally get it.
No, I get it.
I just don't, I don't get it to the point where she needed to say something.
because we weren't being that loud.
To be fair, we had like 40 dudes.
It was probably, even though we were like quietly talking,
hanging out, 40 guys anywhere loud.
But I bet most of those guys left will call it 10, 45, 11 o'clock.
Still pretty late, not trying to act like that's not late.
Catherine, who was closer than my neighbor to the action slash my kids,
aka my offspring, all slept through it just fine.
Like it wasn't like, it wasn't so loud that we were like causing
a commotion.
There was like five of us left at midnight.
Here in a pretty awesome story, might I add.
Let's just say,
our friend signed an NDA.
Let's just say he went to a house
that was the most envied house to go to
in all of Kansas City.
Huh.
That's all I'll say.

87.
Oh, sorry,
I got it wrong.
6-7.
This would be 6-7.
Uh,
why to say 8-7.
had an interaction with 8-7.
Wait.
No, 12.
12?
No?
That's 12.
Oh, I thought that was like a thing.
Is that not a thing?
Who knows?
Tom Brady.
Anyway,
so he was telling us all about this.
12.05.
I looked at my watch because that's when we got confronted by our neighbor.
And she goes,
are you going to let me get some sleep now?
Or do I need to call somebody?
Huh.
And I mean, once again, we were talking about as loud as you and I are on my deck with our twinkle lights on.
So we had some light pollution out there.
Light pollution.
Had a Bluetooth speaker going very lightly.
Bluetooth speaker.
You don't need the Bluetooth speaker at midnight.
It was so quiet, though.
Like it was like, oh, snap, the Bluetooth speaker's on.
I'll turn that off once everyone else was quiet.
Once again, angle in my direction.
Okay.
Anyway, but I was just like, sorry.
And she's like, yeah, you're like two hours past the noise curfew.
And I was like, all right, sorry about that.
We shut it down right away.
But what I, what I like feel more uncomfortable with is the idea of like, she's been stewing on this.
She doesn't just say this because she's like mad in one moment and I'm just going to say it right away.
At least I would never.
I would think about it for about two hours and then finally go say something.
Yeah, she geared up for like 30 minutes.
Yeah.
So you're just like, oh gosh, sorry.
and then just sent everyone home.
Like it was just like, the party's over.
I mean, they all went home.
They were always like, that was, yeah.
I mean, three of the guys there were pastors at my church.
Like, it was like, they were like uncomfortable.
No one wanted to be mean.
Like, truly we were being so chill and so quiet, whatever.
But anyway, I felt terrible, but I was also like,
do you have a sound machine or like a, like,
I don't think we were being loud enough.
You couldn't sleep.
Maybe we were.
But according to Catherine,
who was on the other side of the wall, we were not.
Here's all saying, I don't have a sound machine.
I don't know how many people do,
but I think a good counterpoint is the fact
that your wife and kids slept just fine.
They have sound machines, though.
Oh, yeah.
But.
Maybe it was a lot.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Anyway.
So is this going to,
is this going to inhibit further hangs on your back patio?
I don't think so.
I don't, she's been kind of odd towards us lately.
Like, I think I told you this.
We had our friends, the Enru's over,
for dinner one night and we had the twinkle lights on and she came up while we're all hanging out
with our kids and she like yelled across the fence like hey is there any way that you can block
those lights from hitting my backyard oh she's upset and i was like what she's like yeah those
lights are just super like super blinding in my backyard and i'm like they're they're they're like the
softest white i've seen those lights they're not blinding to anybody yeah they're string lights they're
backyard string lights and we live in the city like it's like we have you have a street light
in your front yard.
And so I was just like kindly like, ah, I'll, if I think of anything, I'll let you know.
Yeah, I'll look into it.
A quick question.
Do you ever yell at God when there's a full moon?
FYI, can we just get a waiting gibbis, please?
Any chance?
Maybe a crescent.
Sometime the next three weeks.
The whole thing.
Oh, gosh.
Full circle.
And maybe it's one of those things where like, if her backyard is completely dark and mine's bright,
Yeah, of course, it's going to feel brighter.
When I've been out there, she likes to walk the dog later night.
If anything, it'd give her a little visibility.
I think she said that it was blinding.
She couldn't see because there were lights on.
It's not how my eyes work.
I don't think that's, yeah, I think biblically, it says when you have a light, you can see, you know.
A lantern to my feet.
Shine your light and let the whole world see.
We're singing for the glory of the risen king.
Savior, he can move the twinkle live.
My God is mighty to rave
He is mighty to rave at midnight
Talking about somebody named Taylor
Who knows?
Yeah
That he went to her house
And he talked to her for 20 minutes
But who knows who that person is or him
That song is about a lunar eclipse
Yep
Why I ought to
So
Anyway, every one thing it was like
We have these
fire pit nights once every month even like but I'm not even doing it at my house I'm doing it
my house once every three months therefore it's not a ton of regular role I'm not worried
I'm not worried about it if it were like hey we we turn our twinkle lights on 10 times a year
I'm not too worried about it dang that's too bad though yeah got an honore neighbor
it's it and it doesn't it didn't bother me I was honestly I was like uh okay I don't want to upset you
whatever but also
it was like, I, I guess it bothered me in the sense of, like, I felt bad, but I wasn't mad
about it. I was like, I understand. It's midnight. All right. Like, that's fine. I was trying
to get these guys to leave anyway, and they kept talking. Thank you. Thank you.
Anyway, finally. Fun times. Fun times.
Tommy, you got your updates on your week? What did you do this weekend? Um, kind of
forgot to, when I don't write it down, I just kind of forget anything I did. Doesn't happen.
Yep. Um, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Saturday night, uh, we had like a worship night thing.
my family kind of like my family and another family from our church kind of like puts on
we're trying to do it like every quarter at your house for our church we it started at our house
like beginning of the year or however long ago the first one was and then now it's like we've
kind of upgraded to like we rent out a venue for the night and stuff so it was fun oh wow uh yeah
I was like very stressed about it all day Saturday because I like hadn't practiced stuff and because
like I was playing piano for some and like singing for everything and all that stuff but it all
worked out great. And it was like, it felt like a success. Really? You played,
played piano for it and everything. Yeah. Not very, not very well. Really? No, I don't,
I just like, it was fine. And people said it was fine. I was like, ah, I don't know.
Not very well. I just should have practiced. As in like you messed up a lot or just,
I feel like I messed up a few times, which is enough to make me mad about it. Okay. But,
I mean, no, it was fine. Do you feel pretty confident in every chord on the piano for more or less?
Okay. No. I think, yeah, it's like comfortable in a lot of chords, but once you get into keys with a lot of black notes, uh, me too. Yeah. Yeah. Give me key of G all day. Yeah. Give me key to C. Yeah. F even. I feel like F. Yeah. Yeah. But not, but like you start going B minors. Oh, it's. Yikes. Yikes. I can never remember if it's B minor, B major that has the one other thing different. If that makes sense. Yes. Yep. And they are very different. Yep. Yeah. I remember I taught myself how to play, uh,
When a Heart Breaks by Ben Rector on piano.
And I want to say that first chord is B minor.
I learned it.
One little white one with your thumb and then two blackies.
Yeah.
I think it's B minor.
That's fun.
Yeah.
Will you play that for us sometime?
Anytime.
Yeah.
That's no problem.
Great song, dude.
It is a great song.
It isn't easy.
Yeah, it is a good song.
John Ben.
Catherine was listening to some old Ben this morning.
Getting ready for.
Yeah, I should listen to that more.
C.C.
It's nice.
That's great.
Yeah, so right out a venue.
Downtown?
Yeah, no.
So it started at our house.
We were like, this thing, I feel like kind of getting big enough that it's like, I mean, we have a few locations of our church.
Like, people come down from like other Kansas locations and stuff.
Well, town's coming there.
That's tight.
And so, yeah, we first, we haven't ever, like, done the same venue twice in a row.
Okay.
I don't think.
There was one.
They did, we did one when I was in Ohio.
I don't know where they did that one.
but yeah so it was like our house then this venue in spring hill it was just like a kind of like
gym type thing but there was also like a room that worked for it and then the most recent one was
also in spring hill like this guy that does our house's pest control I think is like a pastor
at a church that is like the buildings like in their backyard so there was like a super sweet
building with like all equipped for stuff so I want to keep doing it there that was great
and we set up volleyball and stuff.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's cool.
Love it, dude.
Yeah.
Any songs that you're like, that was my favorite one or like.
Oh, I don't know.
I love, do you know the song, Worthy is the Lamb that starts to like, thank you for the cross lord?
I don't know if I do.
Listen to it.
I don't know which version is good.
It's just so great with like a whole room of people.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, I love that song.
Cool.
Trying to think of what else.
That's one that comes to mine.
Were you the only instrument?
No.
so most of them
I played piano
I only had to do like a few songs
so it was nice
otherwise it was either
Anna on guitar and me on piano
or Anna on guitar
me on Cajon
or Anna on Piano on Cajon
Oh you're a traveling
Oh yeah we were you were switching around
all the time
Yeah it's fun
It was fun
Love it dude
It's great
So fun
I uh one last little update
I'll do here
After this I'm doing something
I think you know what it is
Time and I'm going to ask you
Back to quizzing you
I'm going to be doing some cupping later.
Do you have any guesses what that is?
I got my ticket for the long way.
Do it's some cupping.
I really...
Someone will be doing some cupping on me.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Oh.
Oh, well, so okay, so it's cupping on you,
which would mean...
It's a strange type of massage.
Maybe.
I don't know that much about it.
I know that Michael Phelps used to show up to the Olympics post-cupping.
Oh.
And I think that's what most Americans...
Are you going to come back next week with like weird dots on your back?
Weird dots all over me.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, you've been cupped?
No.
Tell me more.
Me neither.
Well, I'm just tired of my calves in the issue that give me.
And so I just met this physical therapist at the sand volleyball courts on Monday,
like you do.
I was like, you remind me.
Yeah, right.
AKA for shizzle.
And yeah, I was kind of explaining my issues and whatnot.
She was like, let's start with something.
Oh, you got a tournament tomorrow?
Let you do some cupping today.
And then we'll do some dry needling on Monday.
Both new experiences for me.
Are you scared at all?
Rachel was like, you're going to do dry needling.
She goes, you are not going to like, she goes, you know what?
I'm not even going to just do it.
Just do it.
And I was like, all right, I'm not even going to Google it.
I don't even know.
I mean, it sounds awful, obviously, but it's like, it's a physical therapy.
I mean, what, it's not surgery.
How bad could it be?
I would love to come with you for both of these, because I think they're going to be painful.
Really?
I don't know.
I heard that cupping is, like, painful.
If not, it just leaves those marks, so therefore it just seems like it's got to be.
But maybe.
Yeah, what is with the marks?
It just sucks.
It's like a suction thing, right?
It kind of, I mean, I assume they just take a shot back to your skin until it gets purple.
Here's one cup.
Yeah, how long do they last?
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
I actually kind of Googled dry.
Well, I just like, I did Google what dry knitting was,
but I Googled if it would help me out.
And it was like, yes, that this sounds great.
Cpping, I have not even tried, started my search online.
I was like, yeah, I trust you, whatever, just make it happen.
That's awesome.
You're going to have a story from that.
So I don't, yeah, I don't know what cupping's going to be, but it comes highly recommended.
Did she say how long it would take?
No.
I'm just curious, like, genuinely I wouldn't know if it's like, oh, it's 10 minutes
or if it's like, no, it's like an hour.
a half. Like, I would believe either. Yeah, per cup or per square footage. Like, I bet they put
multiple cups on it once, though, you know? Yeah, like if it was my, yeah, it's a good point.
Like, they're doing four at a time. It looks like the underbelly of a big. Like, if it was my
back, if like that would be a long cup session. Oh, this is only on your calf. Just the calves.
Can't be too long of a cup session. Only on the calves. It also feels like there's not a lot of
extra skin to. That's what I was, that was like, how are they going to suck that calf up?
okay here's what i stories to come here's what i think is cupping and i could be so off but i think
cupping the way it sounds like we're in middle school being like what is second base
honestly here's what you have older here's what my friend's older brother told me um no uh i think
the way it works it's not like a machine it's like a heat thing and so that's how it sucks it up
you know kind of like there's like decides experiments with like the egg or something where it's
sucks down the egg into the smaller
I actually don't know where it sucks down
the egg. What scene of American pie
was that? I'm
trying to think about like I don't know if I
used to do sides experience back there was like
a, we'll say a two liter or something. Like you
could put the egg in there and then like if it gets
hot enough or something it causes
it to like, cause
the egg to like a hard-boiled egg to like
suck in there. You're not talking about like
a habachi grill like onion
volcano. I'm talking exactly like
what am I looking at? What
What am I looking up?
Figured out.
Capping egg.
Cpping egg heat.
Look up.
Look up.
Look up.
Heat science experiment egg through a bottle.
Versus cuping physical therapy.
Versus coyote wilderness.
No.
I think the way it works, though, is they get the, the, the cup's hot.
Cups hot.
And then they put it on there, and then it extracts up the skin.
Because it's so hot.
I think.
This is a crazy guess if you, like, out.
actually have no clue. Well, here's, here's what I'm basing my knowledge off of how everyone learns
things like this, the amazing race. I think they went to Thailand or something. They did something
like this on their backs. I really enjoyed, we didn't talk about this, but when we went to Vail and
we were just like biking around, you kept narrating like it was the amazing race. Okay. Yeah,
whatever. What did I say? Your mission today? You've got a roadblock. Yeah. One of you must complete
this challenge.
Amazing Grace is a great show.
It's top five show for me, I think.
Overall.
Really well done.
I mean, 20 seasons of nonstop goodness.
Yeah.
So good.
Every episode differently.
European little Danish towns, wearing funny shoes.
I always want to know how the camera guy does it.
How's he everywhere?
Like, do they have to be like, hey, let's go slow here?
We'll add on your time at the end for the camera guy.
Yeah.
Or like, hey, we need a taxi right now of the air.
airport. Okay, I got room for two. Well, well, this cameraman. He's going to have to go in your
front seat. He'll be buckled, but he'll be backwards the whole time. Anyway, time when you find
anything? Yeah, I mean, it's just like the heat, you, you heat up, like, the inside of the
bottle and then, like, the egg, like, sucks through the top. It's a hard boiled egg. Yes. Yes.
And it's like, it goes through a two liter? I think, is it a two liter or is it? I'm not
seeing something that looks quite that small, but something smaller than an egg size. But it raises an egg. Like,
It has enough.
No, no, no, no, no.
You put it on the top.
Yeah.
Let's say, let's say like the candle or something is in the, on the, in the base of this bottle.
Yeah.
And the heat from the bottom of the candle sucks down the egg, like sucks it through
this smaller area.
Like it's enough suction with the heat that it like, wow.
The egg that's bigger than the opening goes through.
Not only have I never seen this somehow, but I also didn't know this is how like thermodynamics
worked.
Hot enough.
Slippery enough would be the theory.
Yeah. Get hot enough slide through.
I mean, and they say that, like, they often describe skin as hard-boiled, like,
oh, he's got a nice hard-boiled egg, you know, flesh to him.
Well, that's what they do.
They do, like, like, test dummies.
They'll just throw, like, 180 pounds of, like, hard-boiled eggs.
Like, oh, it's the same.
Just explodes.
It just explodes everywhere.
That would be awesome.
It's, like, a perfect replica of skin.
Like a super serious, like, Nissan commercial.
Like, yeah.
We tested this.
This is battle tested.
Eggs through the windshield.
So good.
The windshield will crack on impact.
It won't shatter.
Now, in this instance, we had 250 hard-boiled eggs going through it.
So, yes, it did shatter here, but that won't happen with you guys.
Uh, p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p is for a returning. So, so I think a returning sponsor that feels new.
Correct.
So I think we did it right.
We did.
It's on like, it's stuck there.
We were just thinking about this company when we flew to Colorado recently.
Yesterday I uploaded an old video to Instagram.
In this video that I uploaded it was right next to all of our Healing Waters golf invitational.
Oh, really?
Footage that I took my phone.
So I thought of it yesterday as well.
So they're on my mind.
Now they're on your guys's minds.
I'm going to make it your guys's problem.
Yeah.
Everyone's thinking about Healing Waters.
Healing waters coming back, coming back with a vengeance.
And by vengeance, I mean a good kind of vengeance.
Yeah, last year, we challenged everyone to try and donate $10,000.
You guys ended up raising $14,000 to bring safe water to rural Mexico.
Now, getting bigger and better.
Getting bigger and better.
So we're going to have more details as the time goes on, but we are going to do a big
fundraiser for them on the upcoming weeks.
It's going to be awesome.
They're a worthy company ministry to support doing awesome things.
So stay tuned.
We're going to have some, yeah, great.
Yeah, great times ahead with healing water.
So pan, pan, pan, a pan, a papam, pap, pah.
So you're going to do cupping, and then are you going to do dry needling as well?
This afternoon is cupping.
Okay.
Tomorrow, Isaac and I's first, like, legit, 5-0 pickaball tournament.
I told time, I was like, hey, could you come out and film?
You need to be there about 45 minutes.
No, it's going to go pretty quick.
Believe in yourself, baby.
I believe in you.
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
No, I mean, like, I've got a doctor's appointment at noon, and I plan on making it there just fine, you know, like.
Because it's an early morning.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, oh, yeah, that'll be no problem.
Yeah.
Because you know a lot of the guys you're playing against.
Yeah, everybody's really good.
But so, yeah, cupping today, tournament tomorrow, dry needle Monday.
Okay.
Or Tuesday.
Okay.
I can't remember.
Also, dry needle reminds me of that one, like, dumb thing back in the day.
Remember a green needle or a brainstorm.
Brainstorm.
That's what it was.
Oh, like the, you hear about.
What you see is what you hear.
Yeah.
Dry needle.
Brainstorm.
Let me look at brainstorm real fast.
Say dry needle.
Dry needle.
Crazy.
Wow, that's weird.
Crazy.
It worked on me, too.
It's amazing.
Stern out of a blank screen here.
Are you guys, are you guys change your background people on your computers?
Every 12 hours.
I love it.
Not manually, of course.
That's insane.
Okay.
Wow.
It snuck up on me.
I was on mountain time.
Every 12 hours, huh?
Huh.
landscape continuous mine's like probably every year i'll think of it manual manual yeah is it
your own or is it like yeah it's my own yeah i'll find a picture i like jake no preset yeah the
landscape yeah just like landscape's amazing yeah i have i just have whatever's on here just on here
yeah mine right now is like a photo of me and oliver and zach all shot on real film it's kind of
fun like it's like a picture of a roll of film that I like uh what I'm looking at
whatever I don't know yeah I don't know what about your phones my phones I always like especially
we get a new phone or there's new iOS update it feels like a you know what it's time yeah
let's really revitalize the wallpaper the home screen and so then you go look at like what all
the new options are and they look so cool and so sleek and so colorful and then you put one on and
then you go to your home screen you go oh I can't see half my ass anymore once you have yeah yeah
And so what I end up doing is just kind of going like the coolest looking black I can really get my hands on because that's the only like accurate way you can like see all your apps.
Yeah.
Just do the blur or the gradient.
Don't, don't talk down to him like that.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Come on, dude.
Well, idiot.
I'll look into the blur.
I'm sorry.
I still, this is my inherited phone from Alvaro.
Still haven't changed it from just good old fashioned back.
Oh.
Avro's got kind of like a gay pride phone that he gave you. That's cool.
Gaboro.
Peruvian.
Whitewash.
Whitewash.
No.
And at one time, I will change it and then I won't change it again for a long time.
You know what I mean?
Whereas back in the day, back when I was timing's age, loved.
Took pride and all that stuff.
Like, it's like, oh, I'm going to change this.
I'm going to have a screensaver, just in case.
I've never been, truly never have I had like a photo.
of a human on my lock screen.
Never done than like, me and my wife or me
and the boys, me at the beach or anything.
Yeah.
So, I don't have this picture I took,
but it's always nature.
It's always nature.
Yeah, you had, like, the Hawaii one up there for a while.
Good memory.
It's nice.
Yeah.
It's very nice.
You know, about five years ago,
I told myself,
I'm going to hang up some of these pictures I've taken.
Maybe year six, I will.
You've got to print them to hang them up.
That's what's taken so long.
There's a divo in there.
Got to print them to hang them up.
All right.
Printing these.
I think I have probably 35 different backgrounds I could go to, like that I have in my phone.
Oh, I see the little presets.
That I've made in the past.
But right, it's been the same one for a long time.
It's like a really cool sunrise in the parking lot of the hotel in Ohio.
Sounds sick.
Oh, my parking lot sunrise.
You can see the corner of the Motel 6 in there to show some depth.
Just do the blur thing.
Yeah, what does that mean?
Just do the blur gradient.
It's the same photo, but you can just like, for when you're on your home,
home screen it can be blurred or just like a gradient of like the average colors of that
got that photo yeah jake do that jake just do the blur i would just do the blur and i think i'm somewhat
aware of that but even then like if the colors are like if there's a little red or if there's a little
white it's like well now i can't really see that white icon or that like red icon you're fine i think
you'll be all right if you just move it a little bit up and down gosh what is this app it's been the same
spot for nine years oh it's still youtube oh man i couldn't tell because the background is blurred
Yeah, how much would it mess with you
if someone just moved one of your apps?
I'd click the wrong one a lot.
Yeah.
I would.
Me too.
Me too.
Me too.
Anyway.
All right.
What?
We do the week?
We had a good one.
Who's got one?
I got one.
I'm going to pull it up.
Mine's coming from the Ramsey show.
Just kidding.
I just like this one.
H. Sieg.
I think her last name's C.
I'm going to guess or Siegel.
This one's just so like, I love this because I think so many people would say something
like this.
The title of the review is I still don't know why I like it so much.
Five-star review.
This is literally my favorite podcast of all time.
As a 32-year-old, stay-at-home mom who listens to many podcasts, I still can't put my
finger on why Ghostrunners is my all-time favorite.
I don't play pickleball.
I'm not into woodworking.
I don't like fantasy football.
I don't live in the Midwest.
I'm not into theater or gay or videography or comedy.
um i'm definitely not a dad in fact i really have nothing in common with you guys she didn't say
the gay part i was just making fun time because he hasn't bagged mid yet um but for some reason
this podcast has captured my heart your light heart of banter stories and jingles literally make
my day every time i listen thanks for making an incredible pod i love good review it's like it's like
it's like we're not the same but we're also the same yeah but we're just normal people so therefore
maybe the one thing we have in common is that uh we speak english have the same sense of humor
that's all it takes.
A.k.a. You love us.
AKA.
My review comes from Nat Nell Jones.
Nat Nell Jones.
I got the Nat Nettinnell Jones.
Howdy, Dutie, gentlemen?
I've been listening to the pod for about two years now.
Absolutely love it.
My little sister and I used to listen to Sodes Together.
Now that I've gone off to college,
we started listening separately,
which is quite the sad transition to make.
Now we text and call about what y'all are up to.
I attend Biola.
Is that you say that?
Yeah.
Vias, Dominic.
Shout out Dom and Lizette.
Was that?
Wow, cool.
I did Viola in Louisiana.
She does.
No.
L.A.
Oh, my gosh.
Louisiana.
Common mistake.
Yeah.
You're thinking of Biloxi, Louisiana.
But I'm originally from K.C.K.
Hey.
And of course, I'm a Chiefs fan.
Of course.
Here, I felt alienated, dare I say, persecuted for my life of the Chiefs.
No one understands, and I received negativity.
from almost everyone I interact with about football.
Watching the Chiefs game in my dorm,
common space ends up being me defending the character
of Kelsey and my homes and telling people
they have no grounds to say that Andy Reid is a bad person.
That one, yeah, that's fair.
The pot has allowed me to feel a taste of home
of being over a thousand miles away.
I have felt the camaraderie that the Chief's family gave me
through the pot and I feel so seen and heard.
Additionally, Jake and Brad, if you're looking for a...
Oh, I haven't got to this point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What does it say?
That's fun when your eyes start to gander a little bit
before your tongue gets there.
Additionally, Jake and Brad,
Timon, can you take off your headphones for this next part?
Yep.
Yeah, so you can't hear us.
Soundproof room.
Sorry.
Thanks.
What?
Sorry, adults are talking.
I said you look like Forrest Frank.
Okay.
Additionally, Jake and Brad,
if you're looking for a young ghosty lady
for your boy, Tyman,
might I throw myself into the ring?
Throw myself into the ring.
Oh, yeah.
She's throwing it.
What's that mean?
throw myself for a ring
might I throw myself for a ring
correct I get it now she mistyped
what's timing laughing about he can't hear us
I'm a freshman and have been told that I'm
fun to be around
pretty good sales pitch
dang she sounds hot
I'm I'm sold
yeah I may not be midge
but I could learn to whidge
yes they all say that
yeah you guys are the best keep up the good work
all right Tommy you put your headphones back on
what were you giggling
I wonder what in the world that
is about. Learned a witch. That's great.
Natnail Jones. Natnail Jones.
All right. Thank you for the reviews,
as always. Thank you for the reviews.
Thank you for liking this episode. Thank you for liking
the clean comedy cup idea last episode.
Yes. And would you boys like to end this episode with the jingle?
Yes. I had an idea to throw it back.
Jake, will you connect to the Bluetooth if you're not?
Throw it back, back. Time and you could also connect if you want, but I think it'd be better
if Jake, go for it. If we're throwing it back. If we're throwing it back,
we're going to do a jingle.
We're going to sing, but we're not going to do a jingle.
We're going to do theme song parodies
to different karaoke songs that Jake's going to pull up.
So back in the day, we used to always start the words of the theme song,
but to a different song.
And so Jake's going to find a song,
and we're just going to have a battle back and forth to see
who can figure out how to make this song into a theme song.
Bit of an issue so far.
I guess I haven't connected to the roadcaster since I got this new computer.
and we are, we are searching,
searching for nearby devices.
Can't find it.
Might just be easier for you to connect time.
No, we're in, we're in, we're in, we're in,
stop, everybody shut up.
Everyone, everyone, be cool, be cool, be cool.
Do you need a code?
I'm mad.
We're in.
Great.
All right.
The code thing, that adds a, that's a bother for me.
Yeah.
The pairing code?
Yeah, like for airplay or stuff like that.
I don't, it's like, come on.
For your car, it's just like,
is this the same code you're saying?
Yes.
Of course it is.
Yeah, duh.
I don't live in a place that has 100 codes going on at once.
And then for like your Apple ID, like two-factor authentication, it's like, hey, we sent a code to your phone, type it in on your phone.
It's like, well, how could I ever get it wrong then?
Yes.
I don't understand why, if you're trying to prevent identity,
nice try.
Don't send the code to the same place where the code needs to be typed in.
Yeah, nice try.
You could try it.
Yeah.
What am I looking up?
Just karaoke.
Any karaoke songs.
Any.
any
and we'll have to figure out
kind of blind karaoke a little bit
yeah don't tell us what song it is
oh so it's deaf karaoke
oh no you can't see it
guy's eyes closed
every eyes closed every headbound
and we'll just do a little
old school old school
theme song parodies you understand time
yep all right
all right
so here we go
who's going first
I don't know
whoever whoever feels
we're 11 seconds
hit of the song. No noise yet. Tequila. Okay. Interesting. This is like. This is great. This is great.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Dang. I wonder what the heck's going on. Okay. We're 22 seconds. Copyright. Copyright
this. So you're not going to be able to see this on YouTube. It, you can hear it.
It's about to get loud. I can hear. Is it definitely a song that has music right now?
I don't want to skip ahead in case we miss it. Is it like a quiet? Oh.
Okay.
You got it?
Uh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I, ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down
