I have barely anything written down, so don't, don't, like... Don't throw it over to you. You can. I got, like, one thing. This is all on recording, so we are going to throw a time. I got, like, one thing to talk about. No, this is good. We will...

So you just want to start it off then? Dang. Dang it. What's your one thing? You got one thing. I got one thing. I started off, maybe. Shoot for NBC.

Oh! NBC Sports. Dude, you know, me. I'm a stalker every once in a while. I checked locations and saw you right Arrowhead. Was that for... No, you were at Sprint Center. Yes.

Team Mobile Center. Yeah, yeah. That's what it was. I was there from like 6 to 5, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. All right. Good intro. Yep, that was the times I was there. Yeah.

In case that's interesting. That's interesting. 6 a.m. call or whatever you would call? Yeah, 6 a.m. call. It was pretty, it was pretty early. Did you meet me, buddy? What? I didn't meet...

A lot of people... A lot of people came through. It was like, like, Bill said, You know that name? I do know that name. Okay. Because you're a KU guy. Yeah.

Yeah. Filmed him. That was cool. Have you heard of, I'm trying to think. George W. Bush. Yeah.

Barack President Obama. You heard of him. I know you were a millennial. You probably heard of George Bush. She was his name, Brad Pitt. Okay. That name's not like that to me.

I don't know. I know. I'm just kidding. Yeah. Bill Self. It was like, I think every big 12 basketball, like college basketball coach,

but one came through and like, did interview and then a lot of players from those teams. So that's pretty cool. I've had a handful of people in my life tell me when they meet my dad, they go, your dad talks about like Bill Self. Mm-hmm. Huh. I could see it. They got a little, just enough of a Southern twang to him. Yeah. I think Bill Self's from Oklahoma. Bill's from Tolst, I think. I think he had a likable amount of twang. Like, it was a nice, reasonable twang. Like, like, don't go too far. Like, kind of like a McConaughey leveled twang. Yeah, where it's like, you still seem educated. Yes. But also, like, when you say something,

it's like, say more. Just say anything. I like how it's that. sounds. Yeah. I was, I think I was looking for Isaac's location because I hadn't heard from him all day. I was like, where's he at? And I saw that you were at McDonald's and I thought, I need to get back to McDonald's more. This podcast was built on going to McDonald's. Why don't I go there anymore? You know what, dude? Some of the McDonald's have taken away their drink machines. They put them behind the counter. Mm-hmm. That's not American, right? That's very like, yeah, they're trying to be what, Chick-fil-A or something? Yeah, Chick-fil-A does that?

And also McDonald's, dude, they, like, don't even, like, have anybody up front. Like, you have to do the screens. You have to do touch screens. Oh, yeah. McDonald's, I mean, even when they did have employees, they weren't there. No. They weren't present. They had an air pod in and just got done ripping dubies.

They were barely present even when they were present. You could smell it when they gave you the cup. It's like, yep, that's, yeah. That's Dr. Pepper. And gongja. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this tight means that it's going down with some Random thoughts in white meat, too. Then West Best Friends eating fast food on repeat.

So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because this is a ghost from this podcast. Everybody in the morning, we're taking ground. Ghost on this podcast. Let me make a text real quick. Make a text. Let me get in the lab real quick.

It's like English isn't your first language. Let me make a text. I send my brother text message. Dude, it is kind of funny. Let me make a message. So I am texting this guy who's a Mexican guy who doesn't speak good English. And so maybe like, because he just texted me. Well, you make a message back to me.

So I think sometimes like I did, like he was like, I don't think we're ready to mulch yet today. And I just responded, why no mulch? Because like, I think he like maybe I make a mulch better that. way, rather than be like, why do you think we shouldn't do mulch yet? Like, let's make it simple for him. Because I think sometimes he copies and paste it into the translate. Yeah. Anyway, uh, so let me make a text.

Let me make a text. Okay. Tim, I got a question for you. And then we- throwing it over to me again. Sorry. I know you didn't want to be involved in today's episode. I'm hoping to not speak.

When you're in a public restroom and you just got done using the toilet, one, two, it doesn't matter. It's time to flush. Do you put your hand on the like flusher if you're in like a public toilet? Yeah, I don't think I've ever had a second thought about it. I was, this crossed my mind yesterday. Huh.

Because I realized, I kick. Oh, I'm starting to kick more. I think once I was like six years old, probably like shared a stall of my dad, saw him kick. I've been kicking for 30 years. You're like, you can do that? Yeah. Oh, so it's just more hygienic.

Look at like gross. I'm talking like not even like a like a handle like you're at home. I'm talking like one of those like only those you kick? Like the metal like you ever kicked a home handle? I've never kicked a home handle. I can't hike it up that far. But you know, anything that's like what am I trying to say? Just like a little.

Yeah, the ones are just like a stick, a metal stick on the side. Right angle knob. Yeah. It's asking to get kicked. It's very sensitive. Or like you don't have to like. No. You don't have to John Claude Van Damme that thing.

You just boom. And it just seems so gross. Just like a metal thing. Just like. bacteria is clinging to it. I would never put my hand on that. I think it's fun, but I'm immediately washing my hands

after I would touch it. I don't know if Jake's a hand washer every time. Excuse me for pointing out you like this. If I, if I just peed. That's all so fair. If you just peed and you kicked, then why would you need?

Yeah, I'm out of there. But if you're kicking, that means you're in a toilet stall rather than the urinal. You've never kicked a urinal. That's insanity. You got to get round the house kick for that. Right.

Yeah, I don't think that happens, I guess. Very rarely do you encounter a non-proximity sensor urinal these days, though? I think they all auto-flush or some of them just constantly go. I'm like, that's got to be a waste of water. Yeah, and they always have like some something that makes it seem like it's not, like some label of like, yeah, more eco. I'm like, I don't buy it. Yeah, it just a running waterfall.

Yeah, lifetime, not automatic. Their stalls aren't automatic. I'll tell you that much right now. You know, I've, I've kicked them. I'm not like a consistent kicker, but I am a, I've, I've trended that way and I like it. Yeah. But I'm just saying, like, if you're kicking that for the reason of like germs, but then also the stall, you're locking that stall and you're unlocking the stall.

Good point. The lock is typically metal. Also, is it acceptable to you to not shut the door in the stall when you're going number one sometimes I don't sometimes I'm kind of half shut it and I mean if someone walks by they see what I'm doing they'll they'll maybe like go half half a step in and be like oh sorry about that no problem how often you go into a stall once again public toilet you just need to pee but the seat is down and it looks gross are you going to take your hands and lift it up if it looks gross already looks gross um it it depends on if it's a unisex bathroom or not because i'm the

worst case scenario is somebody comes in there after you and points to you and says you're the look what you did in there you say i i kick also does it look let's let's get real into the nastiness does it look gross uh current like recently gross or hey that's that's like dried up gross because dried up gross you're not getting blamed for that you know what I mean? I guess that's a good point. Yeah, it just seems like oftentimes you go in there and someone else has recently peed all over the seat. So I'm not touching this. But I see what I saying the blame game starts going around. Would you ever just when you get out, if that scenario happened, would you just say, hey, FYI, that wasn't me? FYI, I've got incredible lame. I nailed it.

FYI kicked when I was done. I nailed it. I did go to the bathroom in McLean's when I was just there, and I did lift up the toilet seat in the unisex bathroom and put it back down and wash my hands. Treat it like your own. McLean's is nice. They keep a real great bathroom. So you want to treat it well. Let that be a lesson to you, Starbucks, McDonald's. Dude, do you know.

Can I tell you the, there's plenty of correlation between cleanliness and quality of establishment most of the time. McDonald's, I don't expect as good as I do at McLean's or whatever. The place where it does not correlate at all, I think is a nice place and a terrible bathroom. Any guesses? nice place terrible bathroom we've pretty consistently bad bathrooms like every like there's it's a chain around the nation i would i don't know if it's bad but i would say chick flay has average bathrooms

oh i like chick flay's bathrooms i feel like are nice oh really quick trip to me is one where it's like one of the best gas stations bathrooms sometimes pretty gross that's fair i think it's a little bit inconsistent yeah yeah and also gas station gets a little more past so much bathroom usage i feel like people suck them through a lot of usage Batstation. Panera Bread has disgusting bathrooms almost all the time. And Panera bread,

like, I think it's seen as like kind of a higher end place where you can like meet for business and like get stuff done. They sell soup. They have Wi-Fi there and it's like expected for you to use it. It's not like what are you doing, going to Panera for a wife. Sometimes they have newspapers out. At the bathroom?

Not the bathroom, but like in the floor. Yeah, they got like a fireplace in there sometimes. Like if you have a fireplace, you have to have nice bathroom. Fireplace, soup, clean bathrooms. They all go together. Yeah, name another place that has soup and just, like, nasty bathrooms. Shonis. Maybe Shonis. I know what Shonies is up to. I mean, even the one, like, in Prairie Village, which is like, one of the nicest areas of Kansas City. The bathroom is like, has anybody clean this ever? Like, it's like, unbelievable. And maybe it's because Panera is more of a girl's place. And so it's like, hey, it's the guy's bathroom. The boys are getting neglected.

Yeah. You got a bread bowl. you'll be fine. Panera's a girl's place, huh? I grew up thinking that. Now I'm pro Panera. Yeah. What do you think? More girls.

Like they have more soups and salad. That's not as appealing to guys as a burger or pizza. They've got a lemonade with like 5,000 grams of caffeine in it. I do like that appeals to them. It's like the monster energy of lemonade. Yeah, they got sued over it. Which is more of a guy thing. Yeah, getting sued over like

But I don't know Yeah, it's a great place for guys and girls alike To come preview of the jingle later Good, yeah All right time, what else you got? I have one more thing I feel like I could For the next two episodes, this is it Yeah

Is that just I've just been editing that Friday documentary all the time and now it's done. Oh, how long? Four minutes or so? Yeah, like a little under four. Okay, give us some things as the non-editing watcher that we can appreciate more than we normally would

if we didn't hear these things from you. Does that make sense? Like, what took you so long on it that, like, we can really appreciate? I don't know. I mean, I feel like getting, like there's a script and then to make it like flow, there's all these different, like, music musical sections and like things like that so I guess getting those like flow together and

the timing to feel right and also like have a lot of the cuts sync to the music it's like then if you change one thing you got to like make sure everything else is still good so I guess that you could appreciate sometimes even just finding music if like takes forever yeah yeah yeah I think there's plenty of these songs in the in the thing that it's like they took a long time to find yeah yeah because it's like there's yeah it's like I have a vibe in mind for this next part now I need to find a song and just like go through all these different ones and like until I find one that basically fits it. Yeah, that's probably a huge blessing and a curse for you specifically of like you know music well enough to be like this is not the right thing for

this. Yeah. However, you know, there is a right thing and I can find it and I do know like intangibly what it is but I don't right you're not going to produce your own music. And coming up with like words to try to describe what you're what I have in my mind. Yes. Into my little like non-copyright like system. It's like mood. violin. You're like, I guess I didn't know what a theory meant. I thought I had it. Right. It's like suspense, but no, suspense makes it feel like just like a long droning thing like suspense, but like running, intense, light

moderate, light to moderate suspense with rheumatoid beat. For the non, like, uh, for the, for the non music, uh, looking up copyright edited things, uh, person in the audience. I think I relate to the same thing with gifts. Sometimes I'm like, I know the kind of like gift I want to find, but I don't know exactly how to find it. Like I can't just put excited. That's too vague. But if I put aroused, it's like, that's wrong. You know, but every once in while it's like, oh, let's go. You know, you want like something. So you got to figure out like. Yeah. And then you put

intense. Intense excitement. It's like that's not. Or sometimes they'll just say could not find anything. Yeah. I want a gift library that really understands human emotion where I can type in intrigued because they weren't expecting it and now more excited than ever? I want a gift that does all of that. That is, let us know, Ghosties,

if there's like a GIF library that you swear by. And don't be like, oh, the weather app is a good weather, you know, app. We've been there before.

Don't do that. Don't be like, dude, there's this gift keyboard on your phone. You can just search it. It's like, no, no, no,

we know that one. Is there like something like that we've never heard of that's like, actually this one's really good for stuff like that. AI. AI GIF.

AI GIF. Yeah. So, all right, what else time? Documentary looks really good, though. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah, we're going to try to figure out a way to get as many people as possible to see this. So it'll be in the YouTube video. We'll post it on Instagram, TikTok as well. But what's the, what's the optimal viewing experience? Headphones, computer. Yeah, on YouTube with the like horizontal. And then headphones? Yeah, headphones are good. Yeah, headphones good. Yeah. There's some, there's some base in there. I think at some. points. Oh yeah, when I put up the missing person's sign. Yeah. Also, do you see this, Brad, brought this in the studio today? Got both of them. Oh, everyone knows who that is.

Just two peas in a pod there. Two peas on the pod. That's fun. Thank you, Kath, for that. My mom was like, I think it was a pretty good drawing of you. And I was like, mom, what do you think? That's really nice. Um, but yeah, you've never watched a your crime documentary, but you just got down editing your first one. Yep. How does it feel? Pretty good. I feel like I beat the odds. Great job, dude. Thanks. Yeah, I'm so excited for people to see it. It's good work. Yeah, you're going to Vegas this weekend. Yeah, flying to Vegas today. Okay.

And so, yeah, Isaac and I are going to play a bunch of pickleball this weekend, big tournament. Isaac, singles on Friday. We never do singles. And then we're going to play 5-0 for the first time on Saturday. And then Sunday, we're already there. It's like, why don't I play mixed? So I found a woman online, which is tough to do. Yeah. I would lead with, I am married. It's all good. Yep.

It's like, all right, which one.

You'll learn some things about St. lucia i think so too that's cool okay what is she like what does she look like then dark yeah but how dark like like Hispanic dark or like uh asian dark or Asian dark I wouldn't say Asian dark I don't know what

I don't know Thai I don't know what that means like Asian dark is so much worse than just like oh she's Hispanic Asian is so many different countries yeah all right Russia that's Afghanistan I was thinking of like the Thailand I don't know I think tropical Thailand, tropical St. Lucian. Yeah. Middle East. I know, Tyman. What else you got, Tyman? I would say she's African-American. Okay.

And, yeah, it should be fun. I'm excited to learn about the culture. I know about, like, jerk chicken. I think that's Caribbean. Yeah, good. Coconuts. Yeah, then you got to do some Pirates of the Caribbean stuff. Yeah, Pala. Why was it Pirates of the Caribbean, but it's the Caribbean sea?

Did people say Pirates of the Caribbean? Yeah, I think I'll ask that over and over again and kind of not let it go. Also see if Kara Beaners are related? Yeah, see, which came first, chicken and the egg? Like she says, hey, do you mind if I serve and you say, belay on? Serve on. I don't know. Oh, we're trying.

That'll be fun. I went to Lifetime the other day, and Isaac and Scott were there. Oh, yeah, a couple nights ago. Dude, I only watched singles, Isaac versus Scott, for like the last five minutes. It was electric to watch. It is so much more fun to watch than doubles. Yeah. It was like, it was so fun.

And they were like so evenly matched. Really? Yeah. I mean, I think Scott, Isaac said Scott won all the games, but like barely. And it was awesome because Isaac's so long.

So he's able to like reach, it's a pickleball court. So it's not huge. And so Isaac can get everywhere. But Scott's so good at hitting it. So it's just like, this is fun. So I'm excited to hear how he does.

Yeah, it would be fun. That was like his first time I were training for it. Yeah. yeah we'll see but yeah we got some outfits picked out um that should be a fun treat for everyone who gets to see us in person yeah on on video and then yeah hopefully if we even do somewhat decent at 5-0 that i think that's our black friday youtube video you know you always want to have a banger on black friday yeah people of the website yeah so we'll see yeah Vegas is being it'll be fun just me and iac got us a nice three-star hotel near the venue

suncoast oh yeah you've ever knows about the suncoast franchise yeah it's a You use points? Like you have a loyalty card there? Yep. Yeah, but it works for Capital One Visa. Yeah, I was able to transfer points over. Yeah, so it'll be fun. I'm sure I'll have some stories from there.

I mean, you were just in Vegas, you know, so you're back. I know. Rachel was like, bring me back something. I was like, I'll get you another pin from the airport. Another logic puzzle book. Yeah, you have to get it from the airport, though, because that's where you lived for a day or whatever, but Jake. Yo.

Finish this quote. You don't go to the science museum. and get handed a pamphlet on electricity. You go to the Science Museum and you put your hand on a metal ball, your hair sticks up straight, and boom, now you know science. Yeah.

Is that the actual quote? And you know science. You know what's from? Yeah, Michael Scott talking about it? Like, Scott, in the office. Yeah, you don't go to science museum if you get handed a pamphlet on electricity. You touch the big ball.

I love that. And you know science. Kind of what gospel and glue is basically trying to do with... you know, the gospel, teaching your kids about the Lord. It's more than just a pamphlet. Right. It's more than just...

It's an electricity ball. You don't just look at a cross and know that Jesus has saved you. Yeah. You do these pre-planned devotionals that are fully prepped hands-on activities, and boom. You know gospel. Yeah. Right? Right?

That's what we're trying to say. Honestly, I mean, how much better do you learn when you have something to do rather than just like, hey, I'm going to tell you something. as an adult or a kid, especially as a kid. It's amazing younger age. How much more can be grasped and sunk in when you're actually doing something. So gospel and glue is our sponsor this week, and they are doing just that. They have an app, but they also have a subscription service where they will send you hands-on

activities, their pre-planned devotionals for ages three to seven. They're Bible-based activities. My kids love them. They are so much fun, and they just teach you truth from scripture. So, um, everything is so easy to, it's convenient. It's, uh, it's like pre-cut. Yes. Pre-glued. Yes. Which is golly. Thank you. Like, thank you, patient. Patience is the one who's run this patience and Nathan. They just, they're, their parents themselves with kids these age, this age. And they, it's tried and true. And they're ghosties. And they're ghosties. So it's

discipleship that sticks. Mm. Yeah. It's gospel and glue.com. Uh, gospel and goo.com. Uh, you can get 40% off your first six months of this subscription with code GRKC. So a really great gift for somebody in your life. Catherine is wanting this for our kids for Christmas. And yeah, I think if you're a grandparent out there, if you're a parent, I think this is a worthwhile investment into your kids' futures

and something that's going to stick. So once again, gospel and glue.com, GRKC for 40% off your first six months, gospel and glue, discipleship that sticks. But yeah, feeling good. I'm a little worried about Isaac, destroying his body on singles and then just is worthless on Saturday, but whatever.

I'm trying to do my part. I told you guys last week, I went and got cupped, which this happened seven days ago. So I'm going to try to remember this as best I can. But, I mean, there's not much of a story other than, like, it was miserable. Yeah. That's the subject line.

Yeah. So I go in and I learned very quickly that this girl, who I very very, randomly just kind of met, she knows, she went to SBU for physical therapy. Okay. Like, that's crazy. So he's no Garrett? So, well, about the time we figure this out, she's like, all right, let's get going. First thing she does, I think it's called grafting. Okay. It just sounds like it hurts. Skin graft is like when they take part of your skin off and put it somewhere else, isn't it? That's probably why. And maybe I'm getting the word slightly wrong, but it's something like that

where she takes, it looks like brass knuckles. It's like this metal tool. Yes. What is that called? Grass knuckles. I don't know. But she's like trying to like loosen up. They did that when I did PT for like, so I didn't get scar tissue in my knee. And it was as painful as you would think.

Yeah, she's like just go ahead and lay down and I'm going to take this cheese grater basically and just run it up and down your legs. So I was just the grafting part. And so that was like, no way. What did you think of ball over? Yeah, it's a cute little town. I'm just like miserable trying to get to know this girl.

Did you have favorite, favorite drink from the bead? Was Master Wong still there? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's... Lick a bear cat. She gets done with the grafting. She's like, all right, I think we're loosened up. Yeah, I feel pretty loose.

It's time for the cupping. And then, I don't know if it makes it better or worse, but, you know, you can't really see how it works. I've seen it somewhat happen on other people, Michael Phelps. Yeah. But it's like, yeah, these suction cups where your skin goes up in them. In the cap, the skin is so tight around the calf. Not anymore because you've been grafted.

Then I'm like, is it even possible to lift it up? You know, I don't know. I bet that's the point of the first thing. It's like loosing up the blood and like the skin and, I would guess. Probably. Yeah. The worst part is actually the very beginning of the cupping because she like, it feels like it's like almost I don't know it's like you put this cylinder on it and then it's like she's

clamping it down like the suction is and then on my leg okay so it's like it's skin tight it's so like into my skin but then she starts loosening up some more this is the worst part so then instead of staying put she moves the cup along my leg while it's sucked it while it's suction and that was a part no way no care oh you're my best friend he's still a good friend of mine You're still really tired with me. Yeah. Yeah. Payton's great, too.

You know, Payton? Oh, my gosh, dude. It was like during the Christian. Did she give you a... You don't get it. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, good guy. And Brad Tippett, yeah.

Oh, two good guys. Too good guys. They just turn them out over there and followed her. Oh, my gosh, dude. Did she give you a warning? Like, did she say, like, hey, this is going to be uncomfortable? She was so nice. I mean, she's like our age, but she was like being so motherly.

She's like, I know. I know it hurts because I think she could tell them like gritting my teeth. And she probably like sees me sweating. Like I'm laying down in a room temperature room, not, I technically not doing anything. It's like sweating from the uncomfortability. I got up and it was embarrassing. Yeah. It was like I know exactly where I was.

So much sweat. All I was laying down. So you were on your stomach. So what was the conversation? that led to this appointment? Like, did she have any preface of like, FYI, pretty uncomfortable, but I think it would really work.

Or did she just say, hey, cupping would be great. You should do it. We texted, and I told her, like, everything I'm going through. And I was like,

but the thing is, I have a tournament. This is last week. I have a tournament this Friday, which is the day before. She's like, okay, I would recommend doing dry needling. Then it's a bit more invasive.

But if we do some cupping, I think that'll loosen you up. and then we'll see how you respond to it. Okay. So it's like, great. So I didn't, I didn't Google, I had Google, dry, need, like, I didn't Google cupping. I just went in there being like, yeah, it's the Michael Phelps thing. Yeah, we talked about, like, just for a second last week.

And I was like, dude, are you scared? And you're like, I don't, I haven't looked at up. How would I know? I was like, yeah, anyway. It was pretty uncomfortable. Yeah. And then, so, yeah, you do, one gets rubbed around, and then she put one or two more others on there to kind of sit for a little bit.

Yeah, give me time, timetable. I mean, all the cups were only on there for maybe like on one leg for five or ten minutes. And at the end of that, she's like, all right, now I'm going to have to use some exercises. That was not fun either. She's like, do these like toe flexes while I'm cupped. And it feels like I'm just kind of like just explode everything in my leg because it feels so tight. You're like surely I'm there's blood vessels that are popping. It's just going to go crazy, right?

And like my Achilles, my calf, my brain. She's going to explode if I do this. so I'm doing this and that feels so weird just like all right now do some like some hamstring curls and I was like it just felt so it was a very unique sensation to have your calves like suction cup shut and then do physical therapy but I mean I trust her I trust the the science of it so so if you're on YouTube or Spotify video right now is similar size to this cup you think bigger smaller yeah maybe just slightly smaller than that okay smaller circumference but you think she was like on each area for 30 seconds at a time or?

I mean, yeah, I was like, put one cup on and then 30 seconds of rub it around. All right, now it's in its spot. Good. Let's put one more on. Suction it. Leave it for five, 10 minutes. And then let's do some exercises. All right, we're good.

And then now you go to the other leg and do it all over again. So both your legs, I thought that one of your legs was like the problem one. She was like, you need both. Oh, this was funny. As soon as we got in there, she's like, all right, so you can go ahead and like kind of have see this table and I mean truly like right the beginning she's like are your quads tight and I was like no I think quads are good she's like all right do this little exercise for me and then I do it and she's like oh yeah your quads are incredibly tight I was like okay good to know yeah and then

the rest of the session I was so nervous to answer any of her questions because in like you know five minutes later she's like and how's your ankle mobility I was like well I thought it was good but got the quads question pretty wrong, so I have no idea. Also, like, if you say it's tight, she'd be like, well, we can cup that too. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, loose, loose, loose, loose, loose. How's your lower back? It's fine. It's fine.

It's good. It's one of the best. Please let me leave. Yeah, I was self-conscious. I was like, I think my quads are great. She's like, this is actually where most of your problems are coming from. Your quads are crazy tight. I would have never known that.

Okay. Shout out humans over AI. Right. Yeah. So have you talked to Garrett? about this experience yet? Yeah, a little bit. Does he cup, does he do that too?

I think he cups. I think he was like, oh, yeah, that's probably a good idea. But he's also licensed to like dry needle and stuff. And yeah, he's like, oh, yeah, zinc is great. She's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, we chat a little bit about it. So is this, is dry needling next?

Or are you like, one and done, see you later, John Calapari? I like how I felt since then. So that makes me want to go back. Yeah, it worked. If I need it. Yeah, so I told her, I was like, let's see how, like, Vegas goes this weekend, and then maybe I'll see you. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah, the outfits we're wearing for this tournament are not going to be conducive to, like, a calf sleeve. So I'm going to have, I'm going to raw dog it, you know, for the sake of the outfit. And then we'll see how it does. Yeah. When Michael Phelps did it, maybe he did it, like, the day before or whatever, but it was always very obvious. Like, was it obvious on your calf that you had some, oh, yeah, you're talking about a honeycomb calf? Honeycomb calf.

No, it wasn't like what you're used to sing. Yeah. There was a guy, me and Scott were in the cold plunger today, and there was a guy who'd also, I mean, his whole back was cuffed and it was like, it looked like right to imagine leprosy looks like, but mine never looked like that. Okay. That was another question she asked me. She's like, now how easily do you bruise? I don't know. I don't want to answer any more questions about me compared to other people. I don't get hit very often, all right? Yeah, I don't know about my quads or my ankles. Don't know about the bruising. Yeah, that is one of those, like, subjective thing. Like, how, I bruise like a peach. I don't know. What do you want me say? I bruise like a hedge apple. How easily do you, how easily do you bruise? No idea. Yeah, no clue. But yeah, right away, she's like, okay, your quads are very tight then. All right. Sit on your heels then. How's that feel? I was like, I wouldn't want to do it for longer than 10 seconds, but I'm okay for now. She's like, all right, that's not good. She's like, I, here, see this? I could sit like this for the whole day. Well, yeah, you're a PT. Well, yeah, you cup yourself every day, probably. She's saying like squat down on your heels? Like, you're on your knees and then sit back on your heels. also sounds awful though yeah yeah so anyway it was really helpful but truly miserable like really trying to get to know someone like why we have so

mutual friends and I'm an agony trying to get through it oh what was like what was the first text to Rachel about this like what'd you say just I think I said cupping dot dot dot whoa yeah had she ever done it I know she did all I can't remember you know I think she similar to you she's like I hadn't done it but I I knew it was going to be miserable. Right. And so I think I mentioned last week, like I'd seen the amazing race do it or whatever,

but I think the way they did it was with heat. You don't think yours was heat. Didn't feel hot. It felt like it was almost like a, like a, I don't know about new, was there a tube connected to it? Like pneumatic? No, I think this was analog tubes, analog cups.

But like how, how, I wonder how it like sucked down. Like, was there some kind of like, I don't know, I couldn't, I never know what's going on back there. Right. Wild, dude. But it was fun. Kind of.

I was glad I did it. I think it was helpful. I think people need to keep recommending Jake to do random things like that, like random appointments, because it feels like for the most part, you're like, yeah, I'll do it. Yeah, I'll try it once. I'll try it once. Man, it was uncomfortable, though.

It was really not fun. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're going through something. Yeah, is that like a fantasy football punishment? Yeah, get your back cupped. Yeah, back cupped, and you have to film it for everybody. you or we or we buy the cups and just do it ourselves yeah it's like like it's not I'm not trying to act like I'm sure there's a better way to do it but I bet I could figure out how to suck a cup down to you and Garrett is like supervising sure you know so it's like all right I'm not going to let

him kill you guys but right but we're the ones cupping yeah we'll see because I think I wonder there was a part of me it was like the the calf skin is so tight maybe it's like miserable down there it's like getting a tattoo on your foot you know it's like it's all bone Yeah. And the back seems like a little more skin to move around. But the back is a lot of area. I mean, that's if you go a whole back.

Yeah, I can't tell if it'd be better or worse if there's more skin to, because then you're getting pulled up more maybe. It's like up. It's just like up. Float away. When Mr. Fredrickson got cupped.

No. That's fun. Anyway, that was me cupping. I love that. You texted Timmy and I, something similar, like,

cupping is wild. And I was like, I can't wait to hear about it. I text you that as I was like, limping out to my car in the parking lot. I'm like, oh, I don't know how this feels. Yeah, so it was like, it was not immediate relief. It was like, no, this is sore for a while. Yeah. It makes sense. Yeah, immediate. But then, yeah, it got better and better. Was there any aspect in the moment that was like kind of a feel good pain or was it all just like pure agony?

No, not at the time. No, not if it felt good at the time. Because I feel like at the tournament the next day you were telling Isaac about it, he was like, oh, it's kind of like a, because maybe he had done it or is it's a different thing I'm thinking of? I don't know. I thought he was talking about like, it's kind of like a feel good pain. It kind of hurts good. Oh, yeah. I think you're referring to like the next day. Like the next day it feels good.

I see. You had to go through some pain. That makes sense. Isaac's also a little bit psycho with that kind of stuff. Like I think he kind of does enjoy the pain. Like when he had like knee surgeries and stuff and like his bone was exposed. He was like, hey, you want to see my bone? Yeah.

No. No. No, thank you. Yeah. Well, I'll just send you the video I have of me touching my bone. Just I'll send you. I'll shove in your face when you. wake up, so you have to see it, and you won't recognize what it is for a second. Oh, man, that's

fun. This weekend, I went to Siblet, which is where my sister lives. It was fun time. The whole family, whole Ellis family out there. So there was however many of us, eight grandchildren and however many, six adults. So 14 of us, I think, eight plus six. Yeah, eight plus six, 14. Yeah. Good. Carry the two. And it was fun. We went down there out there for my, niece's 10th birthday. Nothing too crazy happened, but just a good time. It's just fun to be in small town America. You know, it's just like, like we walk, they have a new, new.

It's kind of joyful Java-esque new coffee shop, but it's probably been there now two years. But maybe even three, but new to me, because I've only been out to visit my sister maybe three times since then. And you walk from like, they're at the edge of town one way. We walked to the coffee shop. It took us. It's probably a mile away, you know, if that, like just a nice little stroll of the coffee. shop. We're the only ones in there, getting our coffee.

Come back. All 14 of you guys walk to the coffee shop, walked a mile? No, most of us. I bet there was 10 of us. I think a couple of the brother-in-law stayed back. Oh, come on. Yeah, did their, you know, did their thing. But it was fun, man. Nothing too crazy, but just good time with the kids. And probably one of my highlights, I mean, it was literally a two-second thing, but the second day, like the day we're leaving. We get done with breakfast. And some of the kids are awake. Some of them aren't. Catherine's still down You know, whatever, doing her thing. And Bo just goes, Dad, can I, can I go shoot some hoops?

I said, yes. Yes. Please. Like, Bo can barely make a shot right now. Like, I think he's only made, like, two shots on the right height that he's supposed to make it with the right ball, but he still just wants to go shoot. And it's awesome. Fun.

What kind of, how high is the goal? His goal is eight feet. Gotcha. Haddies is nine feet. Wow. And Bo's ball is, I think, 27 and a half. and had he's 28 and a half so that feels those are big balls and high hoops big balls high hoops for what five and eight six and eight mm-hmm yeah I think had he's the first year of the nine-foot goal

so if she would have played last year she would have played on the eight-foot goal but um she's doing she's doing pretty good dude she's trying to play with a full that's a full-size women's ball like her ball will never get bigger than that yeah I hope I'm right about that I think it is 20 28 and half yeah it's like the women's ball like the yeah junior ball so um anyway and yeah we did like a i guess that was after we recorded last week we did like a upward evaluation night like that's how they do it i tell you this like basically to like make sure that you don't just stack one team with all the best players yeah they kind of socialism style yeah so it's spread love so yeah i was in charge of the eight-foot goal with

like some of the younger kids and it was kind of crazy to watch like even between like a five-year-old and a seven-year-old, how much better a seven-year-old can get in like sports, like over two years. Some of these kids were just like, yeah, like literally like granny shotting it up there. And I'm like, no, no, no, shoot at this. You know, whatever. But yeah, nothing too crazy. I mean, Sublette, once again, just just good time out there with my siblings. I'm trying to think of anything like worth talking about.

I don't know. It's funny, like my nephews are really into Fortnite right now, like super into it. Really? Four nights still doing okay. Once again, it's one of those things where it's like, is it doing okay or are they just elementary school kids? Or, yeah, they are all about six, seven. I heard six, seven multiple times. My mom's trying to do it. No, like, mom, chill.

But also, maybe don't chill because then it's like grandma's doing this. Yeah. Like, we were playing hearts. And it was every once in a while, it's like kind of funny. Like, that actually happened. Six and then a seven or whatever. But they're all about it. Time.

And I want you to set a timer for 22 seconds. Second seconds. Do not let me talk any longer than that about this. This is a teaser of an ad. Okay. All right. It's going right now. Give. Healingwaters.org slash Ghosties 2025 is the link for Healing Waters fundraiser that we're doing. We're doing it from now until the end of the year. It's going to be big. We're going to talk way more about it. There's going to be prizes. It's going to be amazing. It's something that we're all going to be contributing to working hard towards. It's going to be like a cupping bet, but even better. Grand Prize is going to be nuts. Whoa. That was the end. I love that. I'm so out of the loop when it comes to video games. Like, I think my nephew was playing on Xbox,

but then my other nephew was playing on his Switch, same Fortnite game. And they were doing some, they were doing quads, which I'm assuming as like four person teams or something. And I was like, I didn't know. I was like,

that's a switch, right? You know, I didn't know you could do this. Cross platform. Is that a thing? Maybe. Sounds like it. Yeah,

I guess so. I didn't that's the thing like I don't know this stuff anymore and like I don't know if I ever will get back into it like I used to be it just it's overwhelming also I learned my nephew and I like looked up this because I didn't believe him it didn't make sense to me he was like it costs more to download a video game right now than it does to buy the physical copy of it like it costs more for you to download Madden than to buy Madden at Best Buy. Huh I wonder why exactly why in the world would that be people let us know. But all I'd say. That is nice having a digital version of a video game, though.

You never have to like, oh, I didn't pack it or oh, it's at home. Oh, it's in the wrong disc. Remember that what always happened? Oh, yeah. Oh, Tokyo trips in my Madden disc. I thought I brought Madden. I was like, yeah. But also, I understand the allure of the digital version, but I wouldn't charge more for it. I would think, well, that saves us money on the distribution of it. I don't know. I was very surprised. Your nephew's a liar. I thought so, too. I was like, you don't know what you're talking about. So I looked it up. And I, I think he's telling the truth, which is crazy. But, um, anyway, time, do you ever play any video games? On the DSI, which one was that? I don't know about the DSI. Like there's the DS. Yeah. It was just like a,

it was just that basically, but like I think it had a camera. Okay. Yeah. It was always Mario Cart, Super Mario Bros. I was about it. Nice. Yeah. But I loved it. Yeah. It was good. Always wished I could get like Smash Bros. was on the DSI, but it was too, like, old and small. Too violent. I think on the 3DS, you could, but I never got the 3DS. That'd be a fun game to, like, try to put in chronological order for millennials. Millennials that don't play video games.

Like, I don't know, obviously, PS3, PS4, but, like, I don't know the Nintendo chronological order. Yeah. Like, obviously, it was like, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameCube. No, N64, GameCube. And then I don't know where it happened from there. What did they do from the game? Oh, the Wii, probably.

Oh, the Wii, yes. As far as consoles go. And we fit. Yeah. And then. And then is the DS next maybe, it sounds like? Probably.

See, I don't know about once you start going handheld, I feel like that's a different ball game. I never played, wasn't there the, talking consoles? Wii, is that like the portable Wii? Maybe that led the way for the DS,

maybe. Oh, Wii University. Yeah. Wii you? We you. Pled Wii U. And they wanted to turn into. Do they still...

DS Switch? No, sorry, DS comma, then the Switch? Maybe. I have no idea. I just had the DS. Founded it at a garage still. The DS was like a handheld thing, right? It was small, like...

Like Game Boy. Fold it up. Fold it up, it was about like iPhone size. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And Switch is like either handheld, handheld. Handheld. Or being screen.

I remember the PSP? I think that's what it was called. That was kind of the switch way before the switch Just didn't take off It was like better than a Gameboy But Yeah, you studied the analog sticks That had not reached the Game Boy

We only had the D-pad Yeah, you're right Do you ever have a Game Boy Time in or like heard of that? Game Boy, I've played a Game Boy Okay A family from our church had some Game Boys So I've played on them back in the day

Yeah, my three main like My two main video game experiences are yeah The DSI which we owned And then the occasional GameCube at someone's house that we knew there was like and even then when I played the GameCube it was like old

like they had that from when their like adult kids were younger yeah GameCube was intriguing because of the controller yes I feel like it had weird colors

and a weird shape far from ergonomic big controllers like pretty clunky oh no you should have seen the N64 N64 was really poorly made okay

it felt like Nintendo was like, we have a contract where we are going to make a new controller, new system, but there needs to be one aspect of this controller that is completely useless. It's like we did that with the N64. We put this third little area over here with the D-pad that you never do in the use. Yeah, we only have two hands. Why is there three places to hang on to?

Then the GameCube had that little yellow knob. Yeah. It's like, what are we doing here? If it was a toilet, I'd kick it. That's what it looks like. Anyway. That's gaming. Speaking of technology, I had to give chat, GPT, a little talking to this weekend.

Yeah. I went to Lifetime. Rachel went out of town this weekend. It's her dad's birthday. I stayed back in town. Anyway, so I went to Lifetime Friday night, which is always great. You're the only one there. And I was working out as I'm headed one direction.

I look up on the TV and I see Tom Hanks and Gary Seneas. Do you pronounce his last name? Yep. There's a movie playing. sitting on a porch talking. I was like, I wonder what, what movie that is.

And there was just one sentence I saw on the screen. So I was, I just quickly pulled out J.IGBT. I was like, hey, what,

what movie that's not Forrest Gump features Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise? And it said, it said something like, oh, the only other movies

that feature those two would be Apollo 13 or the Green Mile. And so I was like, which movie features them sitting on a porch and Gary mentions a dog that was a real mongrel.

That was the only line I saw. And the Chajui is like, oh, that scene, you were describing Forrest Gump. I was like, I know Forrest Gump really well. That guy had legs in that scene. It's like, I, as my favorite movie, I'm really familiar with it. You say that?

So then I said, are you sure that's Forrest Gump? Good question. But yes, I'm sure that line about a mongrel dog is Forrest Gump. So to recap, Porchstein, Forrest Gump. Tom makes a great sneeze, Forrest Gump. Mono Dogline, Forrest Gump.

So then I just Google it. Yeah. And of course, it's from the Green Mile. Okay. So then I'd say, chat with you, I say, how do you explain this? That's what I said. And they're like, you're absolutely right to point that out. That Porchene is from the Green Mile.

So then I was like, just let him happen. How does this happen? Right. What are you, are you rushing to get an answer? don't rush to get the, just to get answer quick, in the future, from now on, always prioritize accuracy or else you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start using Google. Claude. I'm going to start using Cloud. There's a lot of ways I can get the precise information. And if you prove to me, you choose speed over accuracy, you're done for. Yeah. So, hey, in the future, just don't be afraid

to say you don't know it. And it's still generating a response to you right now. It's still responding back to all that. No, but I did. I truly pretty much said all those things. I gave it like a nice father-son talking to. Like, hey, rather you just be honest with me than lie. Yeah. You know, like, I don't need you to say something quick or just say, oh, because Forrest Gump's popular. I figure you're talking about Forrest Gump. No, hey, find the right answer. Yeah. And let me know. Yeah. That's so good. Do some digging. It is, it is disappointing when they are so comp, they, when it, whatever, AI is so confident that they have the answer and you know it's wrong. It's not, though. It's not. And so if you don't know, just say, I'm not positive on this.

It might be Forrest Gump. And then you say, okay, it's not. Forest Gump, what else could it be or something? Yeah. And say, hey, I'm not sure. Do you mind if I check the web? Please. Of course. That's what I'm going to do anyway. It's like, you know, back when we do ministry, like if a kid asks a question, you don't know it, you don't say, well, let me make up an answer. You say, I don't know, let me get back to you. Tell them that. I will. Say, hey, act like you're a youth minister here. My most recent response in that chat to them was thank you. After they they apologize they said that's completely fair i appreciate you calling me out directly you're right to expect accurate answers yeah yeah yeah here's what i'll do going forward this this this this

this thank you i forget what somebody gets it what brought it up uh we were talking about some football thing uh and i i asked chat gpt like hey who are the who are the teams the least amount of starting quarterbacks oh yeah ted gd doesn't know sports at all it was killing me dude it was like it's definitely this this team has only had six starting quarterbacks With the exception of, you know, their stint where they had these five-starring quarterbacks for a few weeks. It's like, well, no, that's the whole question. That's what I'm asking.

Would you like me to analyze this deeper to find a more accurate answer? It's like, why not just do that the first time? And then I would say, yes, and it'd still get it wrong. Like, anyway, it still has a ways to go in some ways. Yes, it does. Sports and force golf. Sports and sports. Sports gum.

It is fun. I'm starting to use it more and more. I hate that I have taken so long to adopt. I just, I've reached for it so much more than Google these days with like, because sometimes it's like, I want one answer to this question. I don't want to figure out everything with it.

And other times it's like, I can't find the answer on Google. Let me see if chat GPT will figure it out and still can't quite do it. I don't know. Like I'm trying to find a specific product at Home Depot that's available today. And I can't figure it. It's like kind of clunky trying to figure out online. Like it's available.

And you click on, it's like, yeah, it's available to deliver to you in three days. It's like, no, no, that's not available. How can I find it today in the Kansas City area? But then Chad GPT is always like, this might be accurate. I would call them and double check. It's like, I don't want to do that. You call them. Anyway, it is funny these days.

I find myself having to clarify if I did a lot of work on something, I'm like eager to admit that I didn't use AI for it. In our Friday Pickle Group text, we got, so there's something in like paddle testing called PeebCore, Pickleball, uh, coefficient of restitution. It's like how poppy, how powerful the paddle is. Okay. And so we got some results back. And it's all this data, all these numbers. And as I start to look at it, I'm like, I wonder how the math even works out here. How do you define the coefficient of restitution? Let me look into this. And so then I just like, Google it. I'm looking at these formulas.

So then I go into my own calculator app. And I'm doing it, you know, doing it all old school, which is, you know, six months ago, how people used to have to do things. And then I present the team, like all these like findings and in parentheses not to brag didn't this isn't gpt i did this so it could be wrong yeah yeah that's like unfortunately that's a reaction that you could have to that i'd be like okay so we should probably double check this if jake just did it by yeah yeah but it's like yeah you have to clarify that now like i spent a lot of time on something actually yeah it wasn't a i all right time and set the timer for 96 seconds i don't I don't want to talk any longer in that.

And it's going. Okay. Good Ranchers.com is our sponsor for this ad right here. Okay. How much time do we have left? 1.29. Shoot. I thought we filled it.

Okay. I don't know what else to say about them. Okay. They send meat directly at your door. How much? Oh, you still got 80 seconds left. Okay. Okay.

It's like meat. Meat is a lot of different things. It's chicken. It's beef. It can be, it doesn't have to be these things. Oh, I had some last night. I could talk about that. Well, do we have time?

Do we have time? Well, only 70. Okay. I'd hurry. I can try to squeeze it in. We had Good Ranchers last night. Go, dude. Sorry.

Seriously, you always take so long to get started. And then by the end of it, it's like, we don't even have time to, like, promote it that we get the discount with GRPC. Timmer is picking. Timmer we know. I'm trying to tell him to go. Go! Rachel made this amazing roast last night, and we just used Good Ranchers, uh, chicken thighs. And it was great.

And there are potatoes and their carrots. They don't sell the potatoes in the cameras. Say the antibiotics thing. Sorry, it's all natural. It's organic. Additives, no additives. No. And no antibiotics.

No. Add hormones. Say that. Oh, I know hormones. Good. But some flavor. Time test. Brad, if you wouldn't interrupt him, then he could get through it faster.

That's a good point. Okay. Let's talk about our flaws after we're done with the ad. I thought about that. I thought about that. I was trying to promote good ranchers. I was fast as I can. Go ahead, Tyler.

There's 17 seconds left, so I'd say you guys better get it. Okay. Well, I guess just. Did we say the thing about the farmers and the farmers and American ranchers and American everything? Timit, I'm kind of frustrated with how you're going to call me out. Wait until after we're going, because the timer's about to go off any second now. Free protein for life.

Wasted the entire. The promo code's GRKC, crap. Just end it. People know by now. Like, if I send a text now, that's like, kind of a long text, do I need to intentionally, like, do some, like, informal things in there to, like, show, like, hey, it's me? Because I, I'm pretty adamant of, like, I'm not going to use AI for menial things. small little like whatever texts even though they're like longer

you know whatever things not gonna do that and so do I like not up like uppercase for some start of a sentence or something yeah or even like a typo it's like at least they know it's not AI right I find myself doing that a very simple text like thank you looking forward to it and like I go to put in the

hyphen or whatever I'm like no they're gonna think it's AI I guess it'll go period or comma or something it's annoying yeah but I'm a I'm a one hype I feel like their hyphens are long old long like two or three times as long as my i'm a hyphen guy you just do one though i like to the double do you yeah always have didn't know that about you well i stop now can't can't dude do some sometimes this feels a little bit like cutting edge of me i do the is that backslash i'll be like thanks backslash so glad to hear from you or something like

that's kind of like a nice you put like a diagonal slash yeah in between independent clauses. It's kind of an artistic style. Like, kind of like a new thing. It's usually an accident. Usually I'm like trying to go for the dash. It's kind of like, that looks kind of cool. Huh.

I'll use a diagonal slash, but it's more than if it's like either one of these could work. Of course. Yeah, definitely. Never tried it with thanks. Yeah, you have to just space slash and then the rest. Kind of feels cool. Thanks.

I might try that. Thanks, slash. Looking forward to seeing you. Yeah, I don't think I've seen a slash indicate a pause. or like, yeah, a comma. I might try it sometime. Maybe a double slash. That's kind of cool looking too.

I think I did that back in the day in college for like certain things, double slashing it. For like a signature on my email or something. That's fun. Brad Ellis slash slash. I have a trivia question for you guys. Yeah. This is that same Friday night at Lifetime Fitness. This is a fill in the blank question.

You can have unlimited guesses. That night. Friday Lifetime Fitness I'm in the locker room I sat on a man's blank fell in the blank

phone phone incorrect underwear incorrect dog no I had dream about dog dog

grapes. What? And that's not an innuendo. Truly. Whoa, we're making wine tonight, I guess. Trying to grape me? Yeah. Grape to man.

Yeah, I just like, an old man behind me was at his locker, so our backs are to each other, and I just got out of like cold plunge, hot tub, whatever, and so I'm in the process of kind of like untowling, I was still I mean, I had something on me, tile, shorts, whatever. But in that time where I had just gotten up from sitting, do something, and then go back

down to sit again, he had, like, unloaded whatever was in his locker. So then, like, his bag is here, his shoes here. And he just had a huge Ziplog of grapes. And I sat on his grapes. I was like, oh. Like, how far down? Like, did you smash some, you think? I didn't sit on, like, the center of the grapes.

Like, I don't think I smashed a lot of them. Like, I got, yeah, kind of the edge of it. And it was, like, immediately, like, go. that feels weird. So I don't know if I, like, maybe smashed a couple, but it wasn't, it wasn't a catastrophe on the grapes. But yeah, first time sitting on grapes, much less a stranger's grapes. Yeah, dude. That's, that's nerve-wracking. They look good. They were green grapes. Maybe cotton candy grapes. I don't know. But yeah, real old guy brought like, I don't know what there would have been, 70 grapes to a lifetime. Respected. Honestly, that sounds

nice, just a nice, nice grape and workout. That's funny, dude. I feel like the, later night weekend crowd at lifetime at least for me Sunday night you've ever been a Sunday night dude it's like yeah maybe once it's like Euro night over there it's like it's like you're in the minority if you speak English on Sunday night at lifetime it's wild and it's not like oh these people are clearly speaking Spanish or something it's like I don't know where you're from I'd like to make a text yeah it's like a lot of Eastern European kind of thing it's like I don't know where I am right now a lot of guys with hairy chests and don't speak English yeah so Check about...

Asian, maybe, Simon. Yeah. Could be. Yeah. You're Asian. That's pretty funny, though. Sitting on grapes. Yeah, it just sounded a few grapes.

It was fine. As far as fruit goes that you're going to sit on, grapes got to be one of the top three worst ones. Yeah, I throw a banana at the top. Yeah. Or best if you... In a bag. Maybe I'd rather sit on a grape than a big old watermelon.

you know yeah bad grapes they weren't bad they're going to give in yeah some of those other ones sit on a bag of apples that would just bruise you a bruise easy i don't know i bruise easy that's pretty funny um i have permission to do um old segments but in rapid fire sure okay um okay first and foremost relatable or nah dude uh 5 30 p m in october does that do anything for you if you think about 530 p.m in october is that do anything for you if you think about 530 p.m. October. Like, let me set the scene and see if this is relatable to you guys or not. Okay. Just last night, Bo and Rosie were just playing on the trampoline, 530 p.m. Kind of goldenish hour, golden trees, brisk, but not too cold yet. Just a nice night.

And I feel like there's something about like that time of night slash that time of year, especially for me, growing up when we would go to church, like on Wednesday nights, it was always like, I don't know, there was something like golden and like sweet about that time. Relatable or not? I'd say relatable. I like it. I think that's, I don't know about. I can just, I can, I can picture how that felt that like little snippet. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. It's like, it's like post. Yeah. It's like early evening. So it's like after school a lot of times, maybe your homework was already done or, you know, it's not quite dinner time. So it's not like you have to worry about, you know, going to bed yet. It's just like this nice. But you're kind of trying to play before it gets dark. Trying to play before it gets dark. Yeah.

Once again, it's, it's comfortably cold outside. I don't know. There's something about that I was like, I like this time. And it's kind of a rare time of the season. Because, yeah, especially October, it hasn't hit daylight savings yet. Yeah. Right? When we hit daylight savings, all of a sudden, 5.30 is like.

Zero dark 30. Right. Anyway. I don't know if I can relate to anything. saying, but it sounds like a pleasant scene. Yeah. It sounds great. Yeah.

But I don't have any built-in feelings towards 5.30 p.m. on October night. Two weeks ago, that would have been nice. Because it was like still warm. Now it's freaking winter. Every morning, it's cold. Winter's here. I did sympathize. I sympathized with like the warm weather people in my life the other day.

It was like 50 degrees in the morning. And I thought it was the Arctic tundra. This is awful. Because I was like, oh, because I got so used to the warm weather. We had such an unseasonably warm season of like beginning of fall. That was like, this is amazing. I remember texting Catherine like a week ago. It is 86 degrees outside at 8 p.m.

This is amazing. Like, what in the world? I was driving down the highway with my windows down. And then I get outside the other day in the morning. It's 50 degrees. And I thought it was the worst thing. Like, I was like, oh, I am so cold right now. And I would have give people such a hard time for acting like 50 degrees is cold.

now I get it so summer lasted so long this year that I think I I thought I lived in Guadalajara or something because I just every day shorts a t-shirt shorts a t-shirt and then yeah Monday of this week go outside shorts a t-shirt like what the heck what have I done what yeah why does it feel this way what's that stuff on my windshield this is awful did you kind of subconsciously think it wasn't going to ever end I think I might have kind of this is awesome. I was like, it's, it's like the end of October. I think we're pretty much just living like this now. Yeah, I think we're about to wrap back around to spring again soon. Yeah. This is great. Anyway, really what I do? Okay, next one. Valder, get off my horse. We had this

meeting with these guys from our church to talk about being a deacon. They came to my house, three guys. It was great. They asked me all these like theological questions I was not honestly ready for. I thought it was just going to be like, where did you go to college? Good to know you. Yeah. Let's talk. Anyway, but it was great time. um we're trying to figure up i mean are they like stumping like hard questions or you're like it was almost i'll get back to you on that it was not it was not easy necessarily but some of them were easy and i was like how much i mean i could answer this in two to two two like sentences or i could tell you a lot like it's just elaborate maybe like one of them was like what is the

trinity it's like oh i feel good about that how much do you want me to say though like how how deep into you need a metaphor it's like water eyes Right. No, it wasn't anything like crazy. I'm trying to think of any that were, I don't know, whatever, just like, just like things like just to make sure that we aligned theologically on things before they put me into this leadership position, I guess, in the church or whatever. But, but we were like getting ready for them to come over. Valor get up my heart. Catherine, we're like trying to figure out like, where should we sit? Where should they sit? There's three of these guys. And Catherine's like, I was thinking they could sit here, you know, on these chairs. And we're. could either sit on the couch or we can just sit on the hearth and i heart this kind of an extreme word for what we have we but we just have this little ledge in front of our fireplace it's probably 12 inches off the ground it's probably less than maybe 12 inches wide balder get off my hoary horse it's ridiculous for her to think that i was going to sit on that little tiny ledge being asked questions for an hour and a half you're not going to get that job if you're sitting with your knees above your waist

kind of crisscrossed apple saw like this guy the bowser that's our deke that's not our deke no that's not our deke i was like katherine you don't know me at all if you think i'm going to sit down i've never sat down on that thing in my life you're not going to do it for a borderline job interview i wouldn't fit half of my backside on that thing like yeah anyway i think that's incredibly valid yeah that is an odd request like i was almost like are you is this like are you trying to like break the ice here like make a joke like surely you don't think i think any guy would say no, I'm not going to sit on that hearth. I think sitting on the hearth is okay, but you just don't, you're not supposed to plan on

it. Like, it can be a spontaneous thing where it's like, oh, there's a big group. I'll just find a spot to sit down. But you don't, before people come over, well, maybe we can sit on the hearth. Right. No, you can't. Yeah, we have, we have, unquestionably, we had five, maybe even six seats. You have a three person couch and three chairs.

That's six people. And there's five people total in the room. why would we why it would be on the hearth anyway valid okay rachel suggested something that put me in a similar position i feel like this week she got back from iowa or maybe had some like new amazon stuff ordered she kind of a passing way she's like oh remind me later i want to show you like a new skin routine you should do i think you really like it in my head i'm thinking what about me makes you think that i would yeah be excited about this what's the track record yeah where where are you getting this i don't do any kind of skin routine i don't put anything

on my face. But there's something about this routine. It's like, oh yeah, this one, there's a pickleball match in the middle of it. Yes. I think you're really going to like it. This one involves the office in Seinfeld. This one, yeah, if you make some sarcastic quips is the only way to like really let it like sink into your like hands before you put on your face. Next thing you know, now I am intrigued. I'm like, what about this skin routine makes you think I would like it so much? Yeah, every once in a while like, and I'm sure Catherine would be like, you do it more than I do. But like, Catherine, like, short circuits. And it's like, you don't know what happened. That's not me.

What makes you think that that would be in my tendencies at all? So anyway, all right, currently trending. Watching the Office season eight super fan episodes. Okay. I've been kind of, I've just kind of like stamp my, what's the word? Planted your flag. Planted my flag in the ground as far as like I am not a fan of the super fan episodes most of the time with the office. I didn't know that about you.

I think I like them. I really like the office. obviously, and I really like the original way it's done. So every once in a want, it's like, oh, don't put that. That's weird to add that. It's just like fluff. But season eight, not a big fan of season eight in general. Like, it's like the Robert California area. By the worst season. Yeah. And so therefore, I don't have the same like love and affection for the original episode. So it's like, okay. And I'm kind of appreciating Robert California more with the super fan episodes. Yeah, I typically avoid that season, but maybe I should try.

Try the super fan. Yeah, I don't know. It just kind of was like one of those like suggested to watch the Superfan. I clicked it and it was on season 8 episode one. I was like, that's not what I'm going to choose to watch. And I kept watching it. I don't know if you heard of I got a flight to Vegas tonight. Maybe I'll put it on. Try it.

I haven't watched anything in forever. Actually, that's not true. Scott and I, we virtually, or like a part, we pressed to play on the same documentary in our home. So it was like when Rachel was out of town, it was like, all right, three, two, one. And so we pressed place, we had live text a documentary. That's fun.

And then it ended up being like one of the biggest letdowns. It was like not a good documentary at all. We were like, well, we watched it when it was over. We, like, didn't text anymore. And it was like, well, we did that. All right. See you, dude. Which one was it?

So, like, two weeks ago, Netflix came out with the trailer for this documentary. And they did such a good job with the trailer. It was called The Perfect Neighbor or something. Oh, shoot. Should I not watch this? Because I saw the trailer and I was like, I have to watch this. The trailer was like, this will be, this is better than making a murderer. This is the next O.J. Simpson, you know, like, this is unbelievable.

The trailer is really good. I would watch the trailer. couple more times. Yeah, okay. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the documentary. Okay. No. So it's probably 96% of it is police body cam footage.

Oh. So that right there is like, oh, that's not really a documentary. It feels like you're watching a live stream because there's like no cuts. It's just, now I will say the flip side of that is it feels very raw at times. The first 30 minutes, you're like, somebody do something. My goodness. How many times are we just going to call the cops over trespassing? This is getting so old.

but then as stuff does start to happen this was kind of a crazy moment you're just like kids are being told that their mother passed away in real time like you see it from a you know police body cams here's like well that's it's one thing for like a movie to showcase what death looks like or even the documentary to like go back in time

and say what you're thinking but it's like you see what it was like in the moment so that part's pretty intense yeah but as a whole it was like I mean it's got really disappointed yeah I do remember the trailer being like it was really like intriguing

but also like vague enough that I can see it being like okay maybe they were keeping it vague so you don't realize it's not that crazy or not that I don't know captivating when it's like you see it in its full form whoever edited the trailer did a great job yeah I do love watching previews sometimes is like that's awesome and then you hear like oh that movie stunk but like the preview is so good

yeah watch the trailer for the perfect neighbor it's good but no that woman is basically just like mentally ill i mean there's not really any twist to it just like yeah she's pretty much mentally ill the whole time yeah yeah and then yeah she like interesting shot someone so it's like yeah i mean that probably happens if a mentally ill person has a gun i can see that happening yeah are you guys i was thinking like i think i'm to the point and maybe i've always been this way we're like i don't need to be on the cutting edge of this documentary oh yeah uh on the documentary like train of like when it comes out I want to watch it like I think I'm okay waiting until

enough people are like I really like this to where I watch it are you like that or are you more like it's kind of fun to be like first to the scene with this kind of stuff what you're saying makes more sense I should wait to get like the social proof like everyone's talking about it okay now watch it even if it's like I trust Jake's opinion it doesn't have to be you know universal but it's like dude I promise you would like this like I know you and you would like this This skin routine is going to be great. There is something that I probably need to get rid of, but it's like, I'm scrolling Netflix.

Oh, this one looks good. Oh, 2019? How could it be? You would have known about it. I haven't heard about it. It's been out six years. Yeah. But I think that's probably not how I should feel.

Because trailers do, like I remember a movie. I can't remember what it's called now. But some like crazy looking movie with Matt Damon back in the day, not the accountant, the informant, maybe. Could be. You heard of that? Yeah. You've seen it?

No. I remember the trailer looked awesome. And then since then, I don't think I've really heard anybody say it was great. Talk about it. And so therefore, I don't think it's that good. Yeah. And maybe somebody out there is like, no, that movie's actually awesome. Okay.

Let me know. But like, it's like, the trailer's always, that's their job is to make them look unbelievable. The, uh, one of the number one podcast in the world, Diary of a CEO, is what it's called? They have a full-time employee for their podcast who is just the trailer editor or whatever. I don't forget what it's called exactly, but that important to them.

Yeah, I think they do like three episodes a week, and they're very YouTube heavy. And so, like, yeah, the trailer for like an interview is like a huge part of what they do. It makes sense because, like, you see, even if it's like you're scrolling on social media and you see a 30-second clip of a podcast, episode, you're like, I want to watch that episode now.

And then when they mentioned it, I was like, honestly, those trailers are so good. That makes sense. Really? They do such a good job. They do a good job of like, it's, because some people, they only like bait you into stuff. It's like, the number one thing I recommend to everyone buying a home in 20205 is, and then they cut it out. Like, they don't get the caption. It's like, oh.

They do your job of like giving you, like, I don't know, almost like Hansel and grettling you. They give you a couple bites and then like, oh, we didn't tell you the answer to this one. All right, here's a couple bites. Oh, we didn't tell you the answer. It works great. so we should we should do that trade us for our comedy podcast

for a while we were like let's do out of context like let's just post a few things before the episode comes out yeah and get them like what are they talking about there did that a bit in 2020 I think yeah back in the day I would I would be more on the cutting edge

of things like that if I had more time like I do love the idea of being able to like fully originally have an opinion on something then I can see what people say about it like yeah the occasional like very rarely I'll like be have time to catch a movie right when it comes out and like then I can I like form your own opinion yeah because I definitely can become biased pretty

quickly once I know like impression so it's like I like to have a little like I think when Wicked came out I was like I happened to be free like opening weekend and I was like I'll just go see this and be like and so I can have my own opinion because I don't know what people think of it and so that was fun to like it's good point like it before everyone else did I I I feel that because it's like, yeah, you do change your opinion a little bit. But with Netflix, it's literally, I mean, thousands of things you could watch on there. So it's like, it's almost too much to choose. That makes perfect sense.

Versus like a movie, there's 10 movie options to go to or something like that. Yeah, I would 100% like, I would way sooner going blind to a movie in a theater than like a Netflix thing because there's so many more. Right. And especially wicked like a big box office thing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Do you guys have a list of things that you were like, you were early on and you like liked it before everyone else did or didn't like it before anyone else didn't? What's funny is, yes, I mean, kind of. I was really into music back in the day. Like, into like knowing music before. I was definitely like a hipster with music before it was a word like in high school and stuff.

Like you wanted to find like unknown artist. Yeah. Like I remember. Who were your diamonds in the rough? Uh, Feist. You know, Feist? You know, Feist? Yeah. You know, one, two, three, four, tell me that, you know, do not, do you know. Oh, okay. Yeah, she was on an iPhone commercial and whatever. Feist, Death Cab for Cutie. I remember some, and all the times it's like somebody told me about these people. Like, but I remember somebody when I was in third grade told me about Death Cab for Cutty.

And I was like, okay. It was like one of my sister's friends. All right. Who else? Those are like the two I can think of that. We're like, oh, Image and Heep. You heard of her? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to think of me. But yeah, those are like ones off the top of my head. Just girl, girl musicians, apparently. Girl. And Death Cam. I read The Hunger Games before I'd ever heard anyone talk about. I'd probably talk about this on the podcast before. I didn't even know it was from the perspective of a girl.

I read two chapters and I was like, wait, braided my hair. I think this is a chick. Is this Lego? Yeah, I had no idea whose perspective this was from. But that one was like, dang, that was a good book. That was awesome. I like that. And then, yeah, it turns out.

A lot of other people did too. Yeah. I can't think of anything. I'm sure. I know there's stuff, but I'm not talking to this episode. That's right. That's true. Surfaces, I don't know if I was like brand, like Isaac told me about that, but I was so into them before, you know, force.

I mean, definitely relative to now, you were big, very early. Episode two or whatever. Down in the basement. Yeah, I can remember saying. it and down the basement. Yeah. But yeah, I'm trying to think of any other ones. My cousin one time went to a concert in a Columbia Missouri high school when he was at Missou and heard this guy playing acoustic guitar by himself named John Mayer. And I'm like, that is sick. Wow. That's crazy. I got a high school, he was like, I was just leaning up against like a mat on the, you know,

those mats they have at the gym. Just sitting there like listening to John Mayer play acoustic guitar. Like how sick is that? Like that's so cool. That's amazing. I feel like before I ever saw any memes about it I was big on like pres of Egypt is amazing and the music is awesome yeah and now it's like started to become a little bit of a cultural thing cultural that's fun yeah that's true yeah I'm sure I can think of others but those are that's fun to think about okay last one last mini segment MLU mediocre life update new trend in my life is trying to only consume calories at home oh you're bricked I'm bricked from from consuming calories option. So like if I go to a coffee shop or consume calories at home or if I meet somebody for something. Like I don't want to consume calories alone, not at home. Does that make sense? So like if I'm, if you're like, hey, you want to go get lunch, I can't be like, yeah, let me just watch you eat and I'm going to go home in two hours and eat. Yeah. But I just have a bad habit sometimes being like, oh, I'll drive through here real quick and grab something. Yeah. In between XYZ.

So it's like, no, black coffee, diet soda sometimes. But besides that. that eating at home. I like it. Or with my friends. So if you ever want to get Andy's anytime. But yeah, just tried to recognize that trend. And it's like, it saves me money because it's always the better option to eat at home, both financially and health-wise.

That's good. I think Rachel and I are still going to do 2026, like no dessert. But I was already even thinking for like the next one, 2027 or anyone else can do this for 2026, maybe similar to this. you can't waste food. So I think it's all up you save money because you're like, well, I'm not going to order the 16 ounce latte

if I know I can't finish it. Or I'm not going to order all this food if I know I'm not going to take it home and then eat the leftovers. I actually probably don't need the side of this or whatever. That's fun. That's a fun because like, don't waste food for the whole year.

And then all of a sudden it's like, we have so much spinach that's about to go bad. We have food all this. That's what always goes bad in our house. It's like the little plastic boxes of spring mix and baby spinach. It just gets shoved in the back of our fridge. Yeah, it would be tough. But that's fun.

So I think at first Rachel was like, oh, my gosh, I'm going to eating a ton. Like, no, I think we're going to end up eating less and spending less. Right. Because we don't want to get caught. You go to the grocery store and you're like, do we really need this? Like we'll go back and get it if we need it. Yeah. Like the day of or something.

So, yeah, probably more trips to the grocery store. But I think you would save money. I think you'd have to. Sure. You would definitely eat all your leftovers, which would save you money on your next meal. Right. That's fun. So, someone else can use it if you want next year.

Okay. Those are all my segments, I think. Segments. Segments. My next segment is called, that one commenter begged me to knock on the surfboard. So I'm going to do that now. Please.

Do you guys see that comment? Uh-huh. I didn't. They're like, just drive me crazy. What is that surfboard material made of? Can you just, like, knock on it? So, Brad, you're, you're kind of a surface expert. We should start having like a, like a segment called Ghosties ask us to do things.

And then we just do them. Ghosties bag. We call, yeah, puppet master. Yeah, material is a very hard plastic. Yeah. Looks like, we're talking. Yeah, go ahead. This is what the knock sounds like.

Yeah. Decent. Not a deep thud. It's not, it's not probably foam. It's not like a boogie board. Yeah. This is kind of heavy. It's not going to float great.

You wouldn't want to use this to surf on. Go ahead and turn it over for us. What have we got on the back? Here's the side. Oh, wood. A little plywood action. It's ply. It's ply.

Huh. Yep. A little plywood veneer. That's fun. So you guys are going to hang that up in the truck or next to it when you guys so the thing is we're in the process of selling this you are within the ghosty community it's happening looks like seemingly yeah seemingly okay um which is really fun and exciting yeah keeping it in-house yeah one ghosty to another okay um yeah a surfboard's got the state of kansas on it so that one

can't really travel okay comment if you see the state of kansas on there or not did you notice beforehand Isaac or Isaac? Isaac? I don't think so. Hey, Peter Coring, did you notice it over there? It's just a rectangle. I don't think people would notice. Well, yeah, it just looks like a fun little shape with a little bite taken out of the top.

Right. I think Kansas is not recognizable enough to most people that they'd just be like, what's going on with that? I agree. All right. Not a problem. Where's it going? Michigan.

Okay. Maddie Dieterly starting it out. Fun. But honestly, that looks a lot like Michigan. They always say, like, where are you out on the rectangle? Where are you out on the mitten? Yeah, that's funny.

Cool. That's exciting. I didn't know that. And we'll see. Seemingly. Yeah, right. You've never made an announcement about Bond Island. It didn't come true.

Yeah, I think it's going to work out. I broke the news to Bailey. I was like, hey, it's over. And she's like, what's your name? who's this oh kansas yeah i barely recognize that state outline yeah i remember you yeah that was great is she still killing it i think so you know yeah if she's not you probably you probably wouldn't say what are the three worst things going on your business right that's fun but yeah i think it's going well so good fun time fun time fun time make a text time time time time i don't want you said the timer for

Yeah, that's fun. Do you go by yourself or do you... No, so I have some friends in Fort Scott that a lot of times we'll travel with and then also siblings and stuff. It's always a little bit of a group, so... Cool, man. That's exciting.

Yep. That'll be fun. Take that. I did have something to talk about. I did have something huge. All right, what else? What else? Were we used to the week?

Yeah, timing. We'll let you have to hook this time, pal. A lot of comments, people not loving the adjective and adverb segment. Get over it. Sorry, we did what we did. Yeah, extremely boldly get over it. Nice. I don't know.

I didn't understand for a second, so I didn't respond. Funny. But here's a couple. Malcolm said, I've listened this podcast since 2021. And I know y'all say some dumb stuff. and none of it has upset me until the double adjective thing. I was verifiable tizzing out when Jake said that she spoke extremely softly,

had two adjectives describing the same word. Because she didn't speak extremely and also softly, she spoke extremely softly. I'm commenting extremely, but boy, I'm not commenting softly. I got 22 reactions on Spotify. Yeah, I mean, that's about as good as it gets. Yeah, that resonated. Jaden Weber also said the adverbs segment

was some of the most effective rage bait I've seen this week. Deep down, I know they're just being silly boys, but oh, it made my blood boil. This is like a personality type that I don't really have in my life. Like the kind of like grammar or whatever, like people who really like get passionate about this.

I'm not opposed to having a friend like this. I just wasn't really aware of this archetype. And now I know that people get pretty fired up about it. Yeah, I don't think Catherine is that person, but I think she's silently that person more than you realize. Does that make sense? Yeah. So careful.

Let me have it. Don't say where you at. She hates that one. I just want to see where you're at with this right now. Our pastor says it every week. You can respond in your seat, come up to the front, pray where you're at. Kevin's like, don't say that. I'd rather just not know the rules so that I don't feel upset when people will break them.

100%. Yeah, she's like. Ignorance. Yeah, she like exposed that. And now I hear it. I'm like, I don't like that. You know what's always kind of made me mad? You know the freaking country song?

God only knows. Like, God only knows what you've been through. Never? Yeah, you? Okay. I know. Yeah. It's just like, that doesn't make any sense. It's saying that that's like the only thing God knows.

Oh, I see. Like, only God knows makes sense. But God only knows. Yeah, you're right. The only's in the wrong spot. God only knows what you've been through and what they say about you. That's it. He doesn't know about creation.

He doesn't know about. Yeah. in times. Doesn't have anything in the middle. Don't ask me any theology. Yeah, God only knows what you've been through. I understand what you're going. What you're saying there, time?

And I'm trying to... Only God knows. But maybe it is refute. Maybe it is perfectly fine. Malcolm, let us know. And Jaden Weber as well. Hmm. That's a good point.

Good song, though. Besides that. We didn't have any new reviews this week. So I am curious about this. this comment, Mike Harris. Tell, and tell me what this means. I like Mike Harris's comments. Brad, oh, dude, Mike Harris is constant.

Ryan Guy, every time he says anything. Yeah, they're always funny. Like, I'm like, Ryan, guy, if I ever have a TV show that I'm producing, you're going to be a writer for it. Yeah, yeah. You got what it takes. You got the moxie kid. Mike Harris said, Brad's got the big third down right here attitude, and I'm here for it.

And then he said, no worries about politics or news, just faith, family, and football. Big third down right here. I do say that. Wait, what is this about? That's where I'm like, is it in context? Like, did we say something about this? Or is it just like completely like, hey, there's just like this kind of guy? Or is this a trend that I don't know about?

Like, yeah, big third down right here. Yeah, third and six or is it third and seven? It's that trend. Oh, yeah. No, I do think we talked about big third down. People who like watch games and like trying to get everyone into it. Yeah. It's big third down here.

We do like saying that. Yeah. Because sometimes it is. you're up by seven. There's nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. Big third down right here. If we stop him, we get the ball. We can wait until five minutes of clock.

If we get a field goal, even we're good. Big third down right here. Guys, this is big third down. It's all watch it. The other day when the chiefs were playing the Jaguars and we were going to do that Hail Mary, I did tell Catherine, I was like, Catherine, we're about to do a Hail Mary.

Come in here and watch this with me. Just in case. Just in case something crazy happens. Just check it out. I want somebody to experience it with me. Yeah. And the homes threw it far, but not far enough. No, we did not.

Anyway, Mike Harris, can you explain that a little bit better to me? What was the second part of that comment? No worries about politics or news, just faith, family, and football. Great. I can do that. Love it. Big third down right here. Big third down right here, guys.

What else do we like to say? Jake likes to take a step back and always just be like, guys, this is so fun. Who's got it better than us? We are so lucky to be able to watch. the chiefs every single son. Like Jake loves like me like let's just gather. Remember guys remember when the chiefs were bad? The optimism we feel it's not going to be like this forever. Yeah. Not everyone feels this way guys. Not everyone can say that they have this.

Yeah, I'm trying to really cherish the good old days while I'm in them. Wow. This is fun. Wow. That was that was a fun drive. Brad's thing is trying to defend someone as they're brutally making a game altering mistake. That was wild. That was wild. Listen. Hey, faith, family, and football. I'm not doing politics or news, so we're not talking. No. That was wild.

Two weeks in a row. Did I have two weeks in a row? One was via text, and then the other was one of you're laughing about it. So, yeah, you just tell the whole story. I'm trying to remember what game that was when he kicked it out of bounds. Was that the Eagles? Maybe the Jaguars. I think it was Jaguars.

Yeah. So Harrison Butker, who's been a really good kicker for the Chiefs for a long time. He was at one point the most accurate kicker in NFL. history. Right. Some people said he deserved the Super Bowl MVP award. Yeah. That was one guy in the street we were interviewing, but still, people are saying.

Sometimes his kicks are a little bit, like, you're not sure if they win in or not, so you wait a little bit to react to them, but then pan over to Jake, and he goes, oh, people do that. Yes. He's really good. He's really good. This season, he's had some bad stints. He's been missing, like, almost every single game, at least one thing.

Yeah. One kick at some point. And so all of a sudden, like, you. you know, they, like, the Chiefs were playing well. They're like, let's see if Butker can make this extra point. I don't know if he can make it. He's been shaky this season. And it kind of triggered me.

That's right, Tony. He's missed two extra points and one field goal. Brad's listed all this. Like, hey, come on. I'm like, it's time to remember that Harrison Butker is Harrison Butker. And we need to stop doubting him so much. We need to stop acting like he's always going to miss and expect him to make it. This is all one text that Brought is sending.

This is a long text. It's not AI. I've shown my, you know, typos, my mistakes. my other cases, and then all of a sudden, as I, like, press, get ready to press in on this, Harrison Butker kicks the ball on a kickoff, which the field is 50 yards long, pretty easy to kick it in bounds, somehow just kicks it right out of bounds. I mean, basically gives him the ball in the end zone. It's just like, here, go ahead and win the game.

Right as Brad sends that. Like, I'm sick and tired of people doubting Butker. Yeah. Does no one remember how good he is? Fing! Out of bounds. Brad goes, whoops. I'm a big fan of like, hey, if they have enough history of doing good things,

I'm not going to fall off the bandwagon quickly with them. You know what I mean? And then the very next week, we're watching the game together. It's Butker's first kick of the games. We're all kind of remember, like, wait, last week was so funny. And Brad's like, hey, I still stand by what I said. Everyone's like, wants to release him from the team or, you know, he's washed, he's got the yips. He's fine.

Bing! He just shanks one. Like his worst miss The season Yeah Like immediately missed Something wrong with him Yeah

All of a sudden It was like Uh Okay I don't know how to How to justify this Two jinxes in a row So

But he's been great ever since He said to get out of a system Yeah People know how he played this week So let's hope he still did well No they don't know Actually right now They don't

It's Monday night And me and Scott Are maybe gonna be there Yeah This is the Noah Gray Tickets game It's supposed to be Monday night game So let's do a quick prediction

Of the Chiefs game and see if anybody can follow along. We don't get that very often. That's right. Last I looked, Vegas had the line at 12 and a half over under a 46. We're supposed to win like 30 to 17 is what Vegas says. Let's do some cupping bets. And we have to agree on this is a ridiculous thing, but if it happens, the other person gets cuffed.

Gets cuffed. Okay. And we can, we can like massage these bets into ridiculousness if you don't think. Like my first thought was Breschard Smith, who is our. our third string running back is starting to get more playing time. But if Breschard Smith gets two receiving touchdowns, you have to get cupped. Is that ridiculous enough? If Patrick Mahomes has a receiving touchdown, you have to get cuffed.

I don't think that's ever happened. I don't think we've ever. I don't think so either. We did throw him the ball one time a few years ago. Kelsey threw him a bad throw, and he had to like batted away. He was like contested and Kelsey still threw it. Okay. And time, let's do a cup for time.

Yep. You agree, Tyler? All right. Just make it pretty ridiculous. If the chiefs, if that works for you. That would be so funny if time against a cup, dude. He's like, I don't even understand why that was a crazy bet. Borderline, like, torturing a minor.

You could trick me into something that's like super likely actually. And I wouldn't know. So Mahomes doesn't, hasn't been running the ball much. He's a, he's a passer. He's a quarterback. Right. He would never. So if Mahomes leads the team in rushing this week or just like for the season at the end of this week.

No. Yeah, there's no way that's happening. Um, if the chiefs score more points for. from their defense than from their special teams or their offense. You have to get cupped. That's a ridiculous thing, I promise. Yeah, so don't you count kick returns, palm returns. You're saying just like, just pick sixes or fumble recoveries.

Correct. Scores more than our offense. And that's only six because the special teams will technically score the seventh point. Yeah, that's for sure not happening. Great. I'll get cup. And then we're going to do a ghosty cup. Ghostie cup.

Every ghostie has to get cup. Either has to, we're going to put something on, we're going to put merch on our thing that says either, I got cupped. This is my ghosty cup, or yeah, I got cupped. This is my cupping shirt. So you have to either buy the cup or get cup. Get cupped. Okay. If, let's say, if, let's say Andy Reed falls down.

You and I are rooting for Andy Reed to fall down. Come on. Everyone else is like, stay on your feet, Andy. Stay on your feet, Andy. You know, like a play goes out of bounds and Andy reads too close Just gets... Yeah, okay.

If Andy Reed, for any reason gets pushed to the ground, shoved to the ground, feints. Yeah. If we, if the broadcast catches Andy on the ground, y'all get coped.

Oh, every time like a play goes out wide, we're going to be rooting for him. Like, take down Andy. Come on. Take out his knees. Or, can we do, let's do multiple. This is kind of fun because this doesn't happen very often.

or if a ref I don't know if we should root for this but if a ref has to get removed due to injury yeah like they're down a ref that's pretty rare have like a yeah what's that called in hockey replacement refs

oh uh power play power play yeah time zone is what I'm going to say time zone um yeah not even like if the refs gets attended to the refs he's out get out of the game yeah that's a good thing to If the ref gets a stretcher and he puts the thumbs up. I'm okay.

What else? If the commanders... Change their name again. Change their name before Monday. Yep. That's good. They were the ones... They used to be the Redskins.

Oh. Kind of recently. And then for one year they changed to the football team. And then they changed again to the commanders. That's like borderline satire. The Washington football team. yeah yeah it was odd like what's your logo what's your mascot yeah just a w i didn't as much as it's like ridiculous it also kind of sounded cool it sounded like it was 100 years old yes like the new

york football giants kind of cool sounding um or if if i only think of injuries somebody loses a tooth if mahomes throws two touchdowns to people who catch the ball with one hand that's that's pretty rare yeah that's that's a fun one could happen yeah cut or if my home's up throw seven touchdowns seven touchdowns he's never done it never done it so those are the cup bets cut bets let's know what your cup bets are do do some cup bets with your family what are ours brashard has to catch two touchdowns in my homes has to catch one yeah i who's more nervous. Both have a 1% chance of happening.

Yeah, but still. Rashad might be a little more likely to happen. He is kind of a receiving running back. Yeah. And what was Timons? Oh, the defense. Timons. Time's fine.

Time's fine. As I was thinking about watching Tyman get tortured, I was thinking, I would not enjoy that. You, I might, I might like. Like, I might be like, this is funny. Like, Jake knows what to expect. He's done it before. It's fine.

Sinka. I'm just a lad. Yeah. Time is just a beautiful lass. Beautiful lad. All right, boys. When to end this episode with the jingle? Sure.

Timon? Sure. This is from Caleb Sullivan. And just, I didn't, never mind. I was going to say, what was I? You don't know I've learned about Caleb Sullivan? Like, while you're thinking about this, uh, he really wants to, uh, he really, wants to make sure his opinion is seen. He comments on Spotify and then also texted both

ghosty GroupMe, like Gulf Shore GroupMe is the same thing about an episode. I really want to make sure that people hear that that joke was really appreciated by me. That's funny. Yeah, which I'm totally all right with Caleb, but I just, I like giving Caleb a hard time because Caleb's fun. What joke do they appreciate? That's funny. The ironic thing is I don't remember it off top of my head. Caleb, you got to let us know harder. I do think, I think, I think, he did it, he did it for both episodes last week. Um, one of them for the most recent episode was something about Hebrew style. Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't remember what that was. Some sort of circumcision joke, but I don't remember what the setup was. Um, and then, yeah, the one before, I think it was

something with time and X, maybe, time and X. Time and X. I think it was something with Time and X. So really just you guys. He doesn't appreciate it. That's why I can't remember it. Yeah. If I was about myself, I would know it. Thank you, Caleb. I was going to say, I think And thank you, chapel. I'm going to try only one actual verse and chorus in the original key because of my voice. So we'll see what happens. Just do the other verse really, really low and like super boring. Perfect.

Yeah. All right, here we go. I know you wanted me to stay. But I can't ignore this dream of life. laughter on an Iowa stage. You heard there's a joyful coffee place where a guy could tell
