Button is pressed.
Time and press the button.
So that means we're going to have a good Wednesday.
Yeah, baby.
That's it.
I agree.
This is magnetic on here, and it's kind of fun.
A little magazine.
Show the audience.
All right.
Had an extra screw in the old, you know,
had a screw loose.
Okay.
You guys can imagine it.
Now I can't even reach it,
Dave.
Thanks a lot.
Did not sell us on the magnet.
Yeah.
I don't even know if you know if I believe you.
I don't know if you know what magnet means.
I don't think it's stuck at all.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we can rest on a flat surface?
That's crazy.
Okay, Jake.
Okay, Jake.
How am I doing this?
How am I doing this?
Got a little hair on there.
Dang, that's really cool.
Dang, dude.
That's sick.
Why even record a podcast?
We can just do this, bro.
Watch this.
It's going to flip up.
Remember tech deck?
Um, yeah, I think people still, like, are into them. Like, they have competitions now. Of course they do.
Yeah, like, scrolled and then, you know, yeah, I've seen some, like, finger, fingerboarding or whatever it's called.
Ever heard of it, Timon? Oh, yeah. I used to have some. I was no good. Fan art? No.
I was no good. I probably, is it like, draw them, but.
You think there's people out there that are like, whoa. Yeah. This guy's, I think they're absolutely people that are, like, good at tech decks.
They can do, like, all the tricks that I feel like,
they can do all the tricks Tony Hawk
can do, but just with their fingers.
Subsequent question, is there anybody that's impressed
by those people?
Genuine. Have you watched
people do this and be like, dang, I wish I could do that?
I don't know if, I think what I've seen,
I feel like I've come across a few, like, golden videos
of people that are like just insane at them.
Like, wow, that's impressive.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd be impressed.
Okay.
Yeah, I think us watching a tech, deck video
is like most people watching a pickleball match.
Like, these are the pros?
Hit it hard.
What are you doing?
It's not that hard.
like standing there the whole time. Any one of us could do that. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel for the
tech, tech people. I just thought of tech deck a little bit with this thing. I was going to
like flip it up from its being down. Yeah, we'll get the tech tech people on there. I bet they'll
have some free time on their hands. Maybe. Get them on here. Between tournaments. Um, Timon,
what'd you have? Go ahead, time. Drinking this, uh, no, no, no, no. They're not supposed
drinking this
cranberry drink
it makes your roosters
has fall flavors
well that's what's in here
is it
yeah it's just like
a can of head laying around
good
just like an aluminum can
that I fill up
from time of time
with coffee
yeah you guys
want microplastics
so he just fills up
aluminum cans he finds
yeah
dude
you got something
about aluminum cans
yeah
there's like
microplastics inside of them
did you know this
even in the metal
yes
I mean aluminum
is probably not good for you
it's like
lined with plastic
I watch some video, what's that guy's name?
There's some super natural, super natural guy.
The other grass ties in.
Some guy that's like really into ghosts and that time of year, Halloween.
And he like boils down the, or somehow like extracts the plastic from the can and it just looks like silicone, like rubber.
It's everywhere, man.
You think you're, you think you're safe with your.
By putting coffee.
I didn't think I was safe.
Nice try. Nice try. Nice try.
Uh, uh-oh.
Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts
and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat.
So come along.
Let's have some fun and go ahead.
Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast.
Oh, my morning.
Everybody's morning. We're taking around.
Ghost on a podcast.
Speaking of, uh,
human health on correct opinions we have the sponsor that's like a kind of a blood work you know
biomarker or whatever thing and so i went and finally did it you know because they test like all these
biomarkers at once in labs whatever so i go in this was like this week this was a couple days post
cupping i don't know if that relates or not but anyway they said like you need to fast leading up to
it and in the morning of drink a liter of water coming into this okay seems like a lot and
they start taking blood out of my arm more blood more blood she takes 12 vials out of one arm
and then she goes for a 13th and there's like a needle in my arm and she's like poof we ran out
of blood what do you mean look out so she's like make a fist so it's like it's like my fault
I'm like squeezing harder I'm like sorry let me try this fresh out and I'm watching the
two, but she's not filling with blood.
She's got a needle in my arm,
which is not filling with blood.
I'm like, hand over my chest,
my heart's beating me out.
Yeah, hearing about this.
Where did it go?
You're like, make a fist.
You're like, don't, Jake, stay with me.
How do you know, Garrett Gibson?
Yeah.
That was somebody else.
Sorry.
Jake.
Jake, we have one more vial, Jake.
I'm fine.
Everything is fine.
So I'm just watching her not be able to
get anything out of my left arm.
Struggling.
And so she's like, all right,
we'll try the right arm.
So we go to the right arm.
More vials out of there.
I had blood in my right arm
because it's not my left arm.
So it was all good.
Wow.
I don't know how that works, though.
It's like I did what I was told.
I'd take a liter of water.
Yeah.
That's got to count for something.
It counts for a liter.
A liter of water and that's got to go into the blood.
It's one for one.
Yeah.
However many water, like it's like,
hey, water turn to blood.
How much blood can you donate today?
Well, I had two gallons of water.
Okay, it's two gallons.
Pump, pump, pump, pump, pump,
make a fist for me.
Yeah.
But yeah, that was odd.
I didn't, I guess I haven't looked up.
I haven't Googled it.
I was just like, I guess that's just something can happen.
You just run out of blood in one arm.
You just move on to the other.
So is that like, there's like different resort.
Like if the right arm's not good.
All right, let's go leg, leg, yeah, make a fist with your foot.
All right, we're going to go straight belly button on this one, okay?
Make a fist with your neck.
Yeah, I don't know where.
If this arm ran out, I don't know where they go next.
I don't know how close I was to being out of blood
But 14 vials
It felt like a lot
When she's like carrying it with two arms
Do you need help getting that to the fridge
Or wherever it goes?
Don't drop them, please.
It seems like a lot
What percentage of your energy did you feel after that?
I feel like that would take a hit of a toll
Yeah, I did
I think probably from not eating
And then losing blood
It felt like a little bit of like
I'm going to walk to my car
And I'm going to like
Not drive away immediately
In case I like faint or something
something, but yeah. You're not taking
too high of steps. You're kind of shuffing
on the ground as you go back. You're not taking your usual
like high knees style steps that you usually
do. Normally when I leave a Quest Labs,
oh, I'm excited. I'm marching through the
parking lot. Good to see you guys.
Yeah, it was kind of a reverse moon
walk. Sorry about having to go for the
right arm. Sorry, I ran
out. I know I got to make a stronger fist.
No, but I was just
so hungry. That was the main thing. I was like,
I never felt super lightheaded or dizzy, but
I was like, man, fasting sucks.
Would they make, how long for the fast?
It was, you know, it was like,
make sure you fast eight hours before,
which was not a huge deal
because I slept before,
but I think Rachel and I woke up early,
did a little quiet time, you know, whatever.
And then my appointment wasn't until 9.30.
So I normally eat by now.
And then losing the blood,
ready for some lunch.
I think people really hate on sleeping in,
but I think it's a great weight loss technique
because if you sleep until 11,
hard to eat.
You just intermittent fasted, baby.
Yeah.
Get up.
Take a, take a, take a,
long shower, you know, poop a little. You know, all of a sudden, it's noon. Yeah, you're not
eating during any of those things. Sleep, shower, poo. No, not. At least I'm not. Um, so. So, uh, I remember
back in the day, first time I ever gave blood was in high school. And man, they got us good with the,
if you give blood, you get free Chipotle. They had Chipotle burritos ready for you when you're done. And
I mean, to this day, but back then especially,
it was like free Chipotle felt like you won the lottery.
Yeah.
Especially if it's at school.
I can eat Chipotle while I'm at school.
It was naughty.
It was unbelievable.
My first time trying, though, it was right after I went to weights.
And so I was like all sweaty or, you know, like, and they're like, I don't think you're,
you're ready for this.
And so I got out of it, but I got Chipotle.
Because it was like, you were there to try.
You wanted to, your heart was in the right place.
But yeah, it was for the friggin' chicken burritos.
The stomach was in the right place.
That's kind of funny.
Yeah.
I forgot.
I wrote this on too.
When I was in my little laboratory, it's very, you know, open air.
You can hear a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
The stall next to me.
I don't know what led up to this, but the guy said, my third ex-wife took everything,
so I had to move back to Casey.
Oh, wow.
I just thought I'd write that down and share that with everyone.
He's a friendly, open guy.
Third wife, I don't think I know anybody personally.
that has had that many wives.
I'm sure I could think of somebody in my life
that I've met, but I...
But not like...
I don't think so.
Yeah, I wonder what it's like, as far as just like,
one, just dating in general,
if you're in your 50s and up,
you know, I'm sure that's tough.
And two, if it's like,
hey, been divorced twice,
you got to be thinking, oh, boy,
that seems to be a pattern.
Yeah, it sounds like he's now three times.
Yeah, it's gonna be tough to get the fourth.
But people do it.
People do it, man.
Neighbors behind us, they got, she's got a new, new boy toy.
I have some things to talk about your neighbor.
I'm glad you brought that up.
Okay.
That's all I have to say about the, oh, okay.
No, that's all I really have to say about this guy.
And he's, and he smokes cigarettes.
And so everyone's wild, smell some cigs, which is not the best smell at 5.30 p.m.
on a nice October day.
Do you like that time?
Do cigarettes make you think of anything?
They bring you back anywhere?
Yes, a few different things.
Certain cigarettes make me think of Spain.
because everyone smokes in Europe.
Make a text of the cigarette.
I don't like everyone's just bore at.
And also casinos.
I think the cigarette smoke is like so,
you walk into a casino.
They have like carpet that just like has cigarettes.
You stomp on it, smoke will come up.
Yeah.
It's sponsored by Marlboro.
Like, yeah.
I, sorry, one of those smells that I can't,
I can't picture the smell right now.
Like, I can't think of how,
I can't smell how it smells,
but I recognize it.
immediately. Like, I don't know.
Oh, interesting. I think there's some smells like that where it's like,
once I smell a cigarette, I'm like, that's cigarette smoke, but I can't think of it.
I can't picture it with your nose.
But there was like an old lady that we would go visit, like our church would go sing Christmas
carols, her house was always very cigarette smelling.
Yeah.
That was great.
Joy to the world was my favorite.
You have a great low register.
Wow, eight kids, you have your heads full.
You guys don't like each other.
at all.

Anyway, what else do you mean?
What was I saying?
Cigarette smoke.
Oh, I think my first time ever smelling cigarettes was in Las Vegas.
And so to this day, 34 years old, if I smell secondhand smoke, I'm, like, transported to Vegas.
Yeah.
Back in the day, they used to have smoking and non-smoking in restaurants.
Oh, yeah.
I remember going to, yeah, Waffle House with my grandpa.
Yeah.
Get a little smoky in there.
Really? Waffle House, yeah?
Springfield.
Wild.
Applebee is always the one of my smoking or not?
Yeah.
And it was always like, there's a lot more seats over in smoking.
How bad could it be?
We're in the same room.
We're going to wait for 45 minutes.
Like, it wasn't like some walled off area.
It was just one portion of the Applebee's.
Yeah, it's true.
Hotels are still kind of doing that occasionally.
Really?
I think that's kind of out.
Oh, yeah, there's like a smoke.
This is a non-smoking room.
Yeah.
I think they all should be.
They should be.
These days.
Sometimes, you know, bloke's got a to poke.
Same with like, yeah, you go to sports, like, a game.
it's like there's like little areas like a little patio yeah there are right where was I recently
for the degenerates out there where was I where it's like when you walk in you see the smoking section
I remember thinking you can't hold it yeah I assume it's like urine where it's like you can't go
a couple hours right if you hold it it's actually you know better for you when you get older
yeah and then you got people vaping everywhere and it feels like that's just like no problem
that's okay you can vape but it's like that should be just as bad I think it is
It smokes fruity and fun.
It's very fun.
It just adds to the ambiance.
Yeah.
I'm not really familiar with vape smoke.
I know.
We're pretty fortunate people.
We don't know that many people who have had five wives and we don't smell that much smoke.
That's us.
That's us.
I don't know that much about it.
I feel like at casinos is where I've smelled it the most.
And every once in a while, it's like, I might lean into that next time.
That guy blows it out.
Was that mango?
Yeah.
Cinnamon.
Oh, French.
Vanilla bean.
Okay, so it has a little cinnamon, like, hint in there.
Okay, very nice.
There's been a couple times now where I've been, like,
losing to a guy in pickleball, he calls a timeout in vapes.
I'm like, God, you can't beat the vape guy.
Really?
I'm getting cupped.
I'm doing everything I can't take care of my body.
He's vaping.
Dang it.
Yeah, that is one of those, like, tough times where, like,
there's certain things where it's like, I can't lose that that guy.
Yeah.
Like, that guy, that guy has a cane.
Like, that guy, that guy.
whatever, like,
what else would do this guy?
Is that guy?
He had a monocle.
He's in jeans.
Yeah, he's in jeans.
Any kind of like non-traditional.
He's in a button-up shirt.
Yeah.
You can't lose to that guy.
He's wearing batting gloves.
You don't want to lose anyone to pickleball wearing gloves.
You see that every now and then.
Double?
Double would be the next level.
I guess not double.
But yeah, they're a paddle hand.
Yeah, they's got like a Franklin batting glove.
Really?
Yeah.
Like a golf glove?
I guess.
I don't know what.
I don't know what.
Yeah.
It's not enough resistance from the ball.
Like it doesn't feel like it's like, it's like, we're grabbing cushion.
Yeah.
We're hitting a plastic thing, you know.
It's not hard.
It's never a bad time, but sometimes are the best times.

Dude, speaking of losing pickleball tournaments,
and they'll talk about your neighbor.
Time when it was there,
we played in this tournament Friday,
I put chicken pickle,
and it's a best of three.
We win the first one.
We lose the second one.
I realize I haven't had any water yet.
Oh, it's because my water's inside.
All right, guys, real quick, sorry,
we were playing on the outdoor courts.
I'm going to run in and get my water
and come back out.
And I go inside of this guy
pulls me aside,
and he just showers me in the,
most beautiful, loving, like, words of affirmation ever. He's like,
Jake, I wanted to snag you today, man. It just, like, goes on and on and just says all
this, like, really nice stuff. Did you know this guy? We were, like, acquaintances. Yeah.
Yeah. Nice guy. And just said some nice stuff about stuff that's honestly not that crazy,
but just like stuff. He was just like, people see everything you do on camera. And he had heard
some personal stories of autographs, we'd give him away, or paddles we'd given kids or games we'd
played with fans, stuff like that. Yeah. He's really, really nice about it.
got back out to the courts, and I was kind of like,
what's this all about?
Winning, losing.
Do we really need to win this third game?
And?
Got demolished.
11 to 1.
Dude, that guy was a plant.
That guy was a plant.
Like, your teammates or your opponents were like,
hey, we'll give you 20 bucks to just let this guy's guard down.
I mean, he, like, hugged me when he saw me,
gave me a lot of comments, hugged me again.
It's like a really nice moment.
And they had to come back out and focus up, and I couldn't, I didn't have it.
Did you autograph the paddles for the people that you lost to 11 to 1?
It's like, let's pay it forward.
Keep doing this.
That's great.
But yeah, I told Timon and Isaac that afterwards.
I've got to be honest, that one's probably on me.
He really softened me up in there.
I had no competitive edge anymore.
How do people keep the competitive edge and be nice?
Like, I don't think there's a-
I can't be one or the other.
Me neither.
I can't be both.
Like sometimes like you watch NFL games and at the end of it, they just dapp
each other up and it's like such a good time and even the guy that's losing is like laughing
with his college teammate on the other team and I'm like I would be so mad either that or I wouldn't
be good enough to be there because I wouldn't be intense enough like yeah I don't have the mental
toughness to how do you compartmentalize that yeah but okay so you're you need to find your edge back
it's like man what's the point of all this autographs pictures with kids what is this
does this matter we won the first game that's our point yeah that's what's important yeah I've lost
111, pretty quick.
Was it a 5-0?
Yeah, it was.
Okay.
Bummer.
But it was okay.
It was fun.
Time was there.
Yeah.
Scott was there.
Isaac was there.
Neighbors.
So this Tuesday night,
Rachel and I went to something.
A listener of ours,
Sharon, Inslee,
tragically lost her son in a car accident a while back.
They are putting on,
they put on this like fundraiser,
this bingo night for scholarship.
They were trying to raise money
for their son in their son's name.
Anyway, she asked to borrow
some Friday paddles to give away, so
had her come over to the house and
anyway, gave her some paddles and I was like, all right, we're
going to come, we're going to be there. And throughout the night
about every like 15 minutes, I feel like
another like middle-aged woman would come up and like,
I'm a ghosty as well.
And so all these women kept coming up. I met so many women.
Sandy, Angie, and Lisa,
the ones I can remember. Oh, one aspect of this,
Rachel and I get her own little table.
So I'm like, sweet, nice high school girl comes up and is like, can I sit with you guys?
Like, yeah, of course.
Turns out she's a senior in high school, homeschooled.
And it was just like, I didn't even know Will, but I just like I heard about this and just wanted to come support.
Wow.
Nice as ever.
And I was like, how do I like work into this?
I know a lot of 18 year old at homeschool guys.
Yeah.
Are you more of like a perm hair or like a straight hair?
Out though?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Branow.
Yeah.
Are you more of a Friedrich fan or a, what was, what was Oliver's?
Oh, Ralph.
Rolf.
Rolf.
You more a Friedrich guy or a Rolf guy?
I didn't go down that path.
But I thought it.
I thought it.
Kind of, kind of a little, kind of a little pepper.
Kind of a little pepper.
Can I just pepper some stuff in here?
Just a quick.
Permission to pepper granted.
We're going to divide this into three 10 second ads timing, okay?
This is going to be the first one.
All right.
All right.
Healing Waters International.
We're starting to fund.
for him. So peppered healing waters.org. Yeah, had a nice night with a homeschool girl, Addy.
That's awesome. But no, yeah, so it was really great night. Who doesn't love bingo? I love the dabbers.
Yeah, I definitely do. Yeah, it's fun. At the end of the night, our girl comes up, a woman comes up to me,
and she's like, hey, so I also, I don't really listen to the podcast, but I listen to one
part of it. And so Sharon, the woman I know, she's like, oh yeah, this is the girl when you were
talking about the vetty's you should tell them right that i'm nervous about whatever this okay so yeah this
so my first impression was like i don't understand what she's saying the vetti i'm thinking because
this this is a unique experience but if you ever had this happen where like someone comes up to you
and they think you said something but it's like a story i told like this will occasionally happen
where like people are like i can't tell your voices apart i was like how i know yeah people will come up to me and
they'll they'll tell me something that trace
said or a video that Tray made or something that you said. And so I was like, I feel like we're
going down that territory where she's like, you were talking about this and she had a story
about us. I'm like, oh, okay, okay. And I was like, wait, sorry, what again? And then I started
this time she says, Betty, like, I still can't think of a story I would have said recently
about Betty. Turns out it was Fetty. I was like, oh, it's like these childhood friends of
mine. This story I talked to all the pie. Oh, you know them. Yes, Jason's my brother.
Okay. So we're connecting all this. Crazy. And then she's like, who's this? This is my wife,
free from Iowa. Oh my gosh, I went to Wartberg College. That's in Waverly, where we got married.
Rachel's like, my dad and my aunt both went to Warburg. She's like, what's your aunt's name?
She's like, Lisa Coop, she's like, look at my phone. She had texted Rachel's aunt that day.
She had been put in a group text with her that day. It was like the girls on her hall from, you know,
sophomore year, Wartberg College. We're like, we should get together. It's on the same day as Bingo
night. She gets thrown in a group chat where it's like, yeah, Lisa, you know.
They call it Coopie, but, you know, Schmitz is now in this group chat, so then we're sending
them selfies.
So they were doing, we're like, wow, that's crazy.
My childhood neighbors.
Rachel's aunt.
And on top of that, she goes, oh, wait.
I'm sorry, this is a different girl who came up to us than this other girl was like,
by the way, your cohort, his neighbor is my sister-in-law.
I was like, oh, boy.
Angie.
This is Andy.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Angie's a character.
Angie's so fun.
Firecracker.
Go ahead.
well, I got nervous.
I was like, well, this past week,
we spent about 10 minutes
talking about one of his neighbors.
I was like, dog.
She's like, yeah.
I was like, yeah.
Scary dog.
Rachel's like, Bruno.
It's like, it's not named Bruno.
Marco.
Close.
It's all nice.
She's like, I don't know.
Labradoodle?
I was like, who, nope.
We're good.
Yeah.
No, big scary.
Big scary dog.
Not a Labradoodle.
So it turns out it's your other neighbor.
Yes. And does Angie tell you?
Price is avoided.
Angie lives like, I could see Angie's house from here.
Yeah, it's like the one that, I mean, how many times have Rachel and I walked or ran by that house?
Yeah.
Real close.
I think she's, I'm almost positive.
She's the one who's the neighbors won the lottery and they like gave her that, like sold her that house.
Remember I told this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sharon was kind of trying to tell me this too.
Yeah, okay. Yeah. I have the details, hazy probably.
But I was scared for you.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I know Brad's neighbors. We're related.
I'm like, oh, boy.
Oh, yeah.
No.
But it's the other one.
It's the lawn mower.
It's long mowing people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The kid who mows his lawn is so too deep.
Like cuts off.
I mean, he lets it grow till it's, you know, up to his knees, knee high by the 4th
July and then tries to cut all off at once.
With a push mower.
It goes two feet out of time before it just clogs.
Yeah.
Angie would appreciate all this, though.
I think she would have, that's great, dude.
She is hilarious.
Yeah, she has so much energy.
Yes.
It was great.
But yeah, it was just a really fun night, great family.
But yeah, I was nervous briefly.
Some fun, can we kink and dinks?
Yeah.
Nervous about the neighbor thing.
And to be fair, like my next door neighbor, who you would be more nervous.
Like, I still think she would, like, she would say nice.
I hope she would say nice things about me overall.
Good.
Hopefully.
If not, I think it's a little bit irrational.
I think we have, like, a good relationship still.
It's just, we've had a few, a few times where it's like,
you don't like, you don't like that I do that.
that but surely she thinks we're good neighbors we mow our lawn we keep it you mow your lawn clean enough yeah
we respect the time most of the time so compared to other neighbors out there there's like neighbors
across the street from us that have like a weird like four plaques or something yeah that's not good
it's it's like it's like it's like bad it like needs to get like torn down yeah i don't know what's going on
in there i don't want to know me neither dude there was one time that somebody accidentally sent us
We got mail that was going to that address
And I was like nervous to like
Go up to it.
Oh, go give it to him.
I mean, obviously it's not like the ghetto
But it's it's bad for our area.
Yeah.
And our area is not that nice.
Yeah.
So anyway, that's pretty funny.
Did you get any bingoes?
No, Rachel did.
Richard had a miraculous bingo, you know,
they had probably called six numbers
And she had five of the six.
Whoa.
So she was like nervous to even say it.
You know, because it's like,
I happen so fast people were going to get mad.
So she's like,
uh,
bingo.
If you're like,
oh,
and they're like mad
because they lost their shot.
So,
um,
yeah,
what's,
what's more fun?
Like the groans then or the groans where it's like,
this bingo game's been going on for a long time.
And still no one has it.
And those groans are because everyone has four in a row.
Yes.
Oh.
Oh,
what a way.
Oh,
32.
I needed 33.
And then finally somebody gets it.
Or,
or when like seven people get it at once.
Yeah.
I'm going to split a paddle somehow.
Cut it up to honeycomb course
Anyway
That's pretty fun
Yeah it was fun night
So have a chicken pickle
It's good time
That's cool
Time what do you got
As far as I know
Literally nothing
All right man
You can speak on this
I wrote this down
Sorry that episode 479
Is not on Spotify
What a mystery
What's going on Jake
We've had so much
copyrighted songs
In our episodes for years
No problems
Timing
as far as I know this was even supposed to be a non-copyrighted song
the one that finally broke the camel's back the song
that snapped the camel's ears saddle
saddle off um yeah I don't know so hopefully it's not like a new trend
it was one of the like being removed AI songs you did to like
copyrightry jazz song it was the moment we were trying to like yeah it was like a
disco theme like oh yeah it was like a disco theme like oh yeah
That's what it was.
Yeah.
And it wasn't even, yeah, it's like, why not?
Like, I get it if it's like a classic song, everyone knows, but this was like, no.
I don't know.
I disputed it, but it has not been back up yet, so I don't know.
The whole episode had to be taken down.
Like, you couldn't even be like, well, it's just not, yeah, let's not do, let's not make
money off this one or something.
Like, let's not monetize it.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, YouTube's in a lot better spot than Spotify.
A lot more workarounds, but if that happens to the future, YouTube will always be available.
Unless you're in China.
really unless you try to make a website um don't have much more on my notes here but i did have
this it's adjacent to a win in the week but it's it's separate for me home depot this is the season
of home depot where it's like don't take your kids to home depot because it's like terrifyingly
scary Halloween stuff and for whatever reason this year like october 9th they started putting out
Christmas stuff. They took away Halloween.
Oh. And I'm very hopeful
that it's like maybe Christmas
is getting so insanely commercialized
and maybe Halloween's trending down
that's like everyone that went
a Halloween stuff has got it. And now
it's like Christmas.
Yeah, it's like normally I would
not like the early October Christmas decor,
but if it's taking over big skeleton.
Dude, not even skeleton. Like I'm talking like
seven foot tall grim reapers that move and like
talk and stuff like. Yeah. Like
rabid beavers and stuff we don't need that there's got they got sway too many one rabid beaver fair but i don't
yeah animatronic not a whole colony of the foam the life like foam is too much like literally i if i take
my kids at home depot in october it's like i got to go all the way around the perimeter of the store to
get away from them so that's a that was big i'm i'm very excited i hope that just in general i've
talked about my disdain for halloween decor i think it's silly so except for i saw an inflatable blueie
Halloween lawn thing.
It was cute.
Yeah.
I approved that one.
So that's it.
There's something about,
and you go ahead.
Nothing.
I saw my friend Peter
on a walk with his daughters
to Lowe's the other day
to go look at the inflatable
Christmas decoration.
So once again,
it's bringing dads close to their daughters.
Yes, it is.
They wouldn't do that if it was the Halloween stuff,
I bet.
They were not.
Oh, baby.
Let's just,
can we just do that,
for all our promos?
Can we just say, like,
hey, we talked about cozy Earth
and how cozy it is.
But when you want to collab on top of that,
when you want to add coziness
to your cozy earth,
you then go next level with it
with a nice steaming cup of Joe.
A nice warm cup of coffee.
You're talking about mainstream roasters.
I'm talking about mainstream roasters.
That's exactly right.
It is, I mean, it adds to the coes.
100% of it does.
You came in here today,
and I said, that smells amazing.
Get it for the vibes.
Get it for the smells.
Yeah, I think I am,
I think I've turned a corner as far as coffee goes.
I think I'm strictly black coffee.
Like I think, good for you.
The feeling I have was sugary, creamy coffee, like does not give me enough satisfaction for how many calories I'm consuming while having.
Yeah, yeah.
Because black coffee is really good if you get the right kind of beans.
That's a great tradeoff.
Yes, it is.
Good flavor, good taste.
And you feel, yeah, you just feel good when you have good beans, it's black coffee.
So Main Street Roasters has those beans.
Good beans.
Good beans, Main Street.
I've been up since 6 o'clock this morning.
Not crazy.
I'm not trying to brag, but it's been an early morning for me.
It needs a coffee.
Main Street right away.
No problem.
We're good.
We're off and off and running.
Off running.
And doing it only spent a 90% of what you should.
Which is a steal.
10% off.
MagerRuster.com promo code is GRKC.
Thank you.
Should we do our schmores?
Yeah.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
Yeah, schmores this week
Is a schmores of
Shmores topics you want us to do
Shmores of Shmores ideas
Smores or smores
Yeah, it's a smores inside of schmores.
It's a smorges smores
Yeah, and whoever wins this week
We will then do those smores topics
For the next four weeks.
Yep. Okay, it's only fair.
So choose with your heart.
We'll go time and Jake Brad for this one.
because I had time in one last time.
Okay.
We should do,
it every time,
we should do,
schmores of baby names
that aren't baby names.
Okay.
So I'm thinking like,
that's funny.
Panasonic.
Yeah,
but it's like,
oh, that sounds cool.
That should be a baby name.
Yeah,
alopecia.
Yes.
Vizio sounds pretty dope.
I always used to think,
this one's like,
I always used to think Lucifer,
if it wasn't the Gull's name.
It would be a cool name.
Yeah, I think some of, Tray do that. Lucy. You. Good job, Jake. Oh, nice.
Really original there, Tyman. I didn't know that. I think I said that when I was like seven.
I got it from you. Home videos. Yeah.
Maybe names that aren't. That's a good one. My first one's not that exciting. Okay.
But logos. We've written that one. Oh, that's good. Just the best of logos.
Because there's a lot out there. I mean, one one. Nike.
that's a good logo got to be uh bottom bottom we just Starbucks we just do all
this more oh really yeah Starbucks you hate it it's uh yeah I don't think it's a good
logo I think if they weren't Starbucks you would you could not start a company with that
logo now mm that's fair that's a that's a fair is that is that what constitutes a good logo though
I don't know up to the voters I think I like it I've also have you seen like the conspiracies
like that's like some hidden meaning devil Halloween
is it yeah probably all right my first one I think this would be fun
McDonald's yeah McDonald's would be good for baby names yeah
McMuffin yeah McMuffin so um my first one would be cute I've done I actually
don't hate frappy that's I had to say it's I meant it that's sweet that is sweet
yeah food item like fast food items that would be good baby daves we went on a uh chalupa
it'd be like for a loop it'd be like for a chubby like like little mexican boy
a little cholo bring back cholo cholo are our Hispanic people using the word cholo still
i have no idea that was a fun lean like a cholo ever heard that song in time ever put it on your list
no let it let it let it go just
Josiah Queen, Nathan, what's his name?
Gladwell.
Cooley.
Jacob Collier, Collier.
Coley.
That's what I was thinking of.
Nathan Coleyer.
Nathan Coleyer.
James Collier, Josiah Queen, a little lean like a cholo.
Great.
Yeah, you'll love it.
We were trying to decide the name for our next big Friday paddle last night in the group chat.
So you're mainly just throwing around F words.
And at one point, the Friday FRAPE did make the list.
Brown.
Not going to go with that.
But hey, but you got to throw things out there to see.
Start it out there.
Just to help stimulate the next big idea.
I was like, this paddle is going to have a lot of foam in it.
I think it should coincide with that.
Fun idea, Scott, but not going to.
That's a Scott.
That's a Scott move.
All right.
My first one is going to be, I think it's going to be fun because obviously
Tyman is not there yet.
Highlights of being married.
The smores of things about being married.
I think that'd be pretty fun.
I think it'd be funny for Tyman to try to justify his answers a little bit.
Yeah.
And then my next one is,
things you wish you could experience again for the first time.
Getting married.
Yes.
Honeymoon.
Like, yeah, just.
But also, maybe you got to think about your answers,
because what if you don't experience them the same way,
and then you don't love,
like, I'm thinking, like, walking into Kauffman Stadium for the first time
and seeing that baseball field.
But also, what if it's like,
I've seen a lot of pretty things these days.
You know, that I'm older.
I'm not that into baseball anymore.
Why did I choose a rainy day?
Dang it.
Anyway.
Nice.
That's my idea.
My next Schmores ideas for Schmores is going to be days of the year.
Okay.
I see about doing days of the week, but I thought that might be tough.
So days of the year.
Yeah.
This could be, I'm thinking like Christmas or it could be just like first day of summer.
Oh, I think, yeah.
You know, vague works too.
Because like, yeah, first Sunday of football season.
Yeah.
Or just even like May 24th.
Just straight up.
Just like that's typically a pretty nice day.
Yeah.
Okay.
good days of the year yeah um we should do schmores of off-brand things oh like the best of the off-brands
yeah like or maybe it's like i always grew up with the off-brand version of this but it's kind of
it's kind of good yeah shasta cola yeah are you thinking of anything no okay no it's fine no
yeah colas vote for me guys i sense i think a lot of those i think a lot of pop out there is just
fine. Just fine. Like I never had a complaint about Shasta. I would say like over the counter
drugs. Oh yeah. Off brand Mucinex. Anytime it's like compared to Mucinex DM. I was like
gladly and I'll pay half the price. They're basically telling you that's what it is. Like we just
slapped a different label on it. And they literally are using the name brand in their label. Yeah. It's
great. Yeah. And then I'll say smores of, uh, debatable how to say this word. I say Cran.
of crayon color names.
Oh, fun.
Or crayon color names.
Oh, yeah.
I have to look at a fun list.
Or crown color names.
Yeah, me too.
Like cerulean, that's all I can remember.
Robbins egg blue.
Is that one?
There's some good ones, though.
Yeah.
Brick red.
Okay.
My next one is landmarks.
Okay.
I think of for the most part, like famous ones.
Yeah, it could also just be like the Dollar General in New Hartford, and that's when I know to
turn right.
If you have anything like that.
That's when you knew Rachel was the one.
Yeah.
Every time I see that mile mark of 212.
Good it.
Okay, love, love that.
Let's go, well, we're going to go vague on this one.
I think smells was really fun.
So what if we did sounds?
Sounds.
That's my third pick.
I like it.
Yeah, that, that could be fun.
The crack of the bat.
My first thought.
Squeak of the shoes.
Not to squeak.
Crack of the basket, though.
Live, wooden bag.
Swish.
Sweet, sweet, sweet sound of a swish.
my dad would say.
Yeah, those are all good.
Just the roar of a crowd.
Really, maybe it's sports sounds.
That's the best sounds.
I mean, the pop of a crowd,
like, if you're telling jokes,
put that one in there.
Dude, what about,
yeah, we are just doing our,
the THX when that came on
when you would,
at the movie theaters?
Oh, I do want you talking about.
You know what I'm talking about?
Was that in the theaters?
Maybe I wish I could have experienced that.
It was only on DVDs for me.
It was so great.
But I never heard that in the theater.
That's fun.
Electrifying.
Or like when you turn, this one,
when you turn on your Mac,
do.
It's like a nice, like, harmonized.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, it's a great sound.
All right.
Seven hours of commercial free football.
That kind of sounds.
Yeah, just Scott Hanson's voice.
This is where you make or break a draft right here, guys.
I'm trying to figure it out.
I'm going to go for my last one.
I think this is going to be fun because I think Jake would have some really funny answers and so what time.
Most awkward place to have the giggles.
Most awkward place to have the giggles.
That's good.
Like funeral, of course.
Cupping.
Cupping, church.
But, like, then you can get some funny ones out there.
Yeah.
I like it.
My fourth one is spores of artificial fruity flavors.
Oh, okay.
Good.
Like, it doesn't matter if it's gum.
if it's soda, if it's film a blank, like I lean towards grape.
Yeah.
I love fruit punch.
Yeah.
You know, when there's like 10 options.
Yeah.
Do you have, let's compare, I like it as a fruit, but I don't like it as a flavor.
I like it as a flavor.
I don't like it as a fruit.
You have anything like that?
I think cherry as a fruit, it's fine, but cherry, like, drink.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think cherry is always probably the best.
Candy, like, best candy flavor, I feel like. Yeah, orange, love a good orange, but not orange candy.
I would agree. Yeah. Same with, I like grape fruit a lot. The fruit, grape. Yeah. I don't like
grape candy. Grape jolly ranchers, I'll, those are always in there still. Yeah. I would say,
um, apple. Love the fruit. Don't care for like, like, honestly, you don't see apple flavored things
that often. It's always sour green apple. Yeah. It's always like green. I like those, though. They're fine. They're not my first choice.
What about coconut?
I like coconut flavor.
I don't think I would want to eat a coconut by itself.
That's good point.
I don't hate it, but coconut.
Yeah, wow.
Good answer, Jake.
Okay, my last one, Chipotle ingredients.
Ooh.
Just like the things you can select from.
I think.
Okay, okay, okay.
You got Chimmy Churry on the menu now.
Huh, not to be missed.
Look out.
Man, they had some adobe ranch.
You ever try that?
Oh, I think I would like it, though.
It's gone, so don't like it.
But it was unbelievably good.
I didn't go to Chipotle much this summer.
I don't know what got into me.
Sounds like I missed a dobo ranch, though.
It's too bad.
It was awesome.
It was just a little bit of a kick.
Very good.
Sounds good.
Good answers.
Good, good s'mores, guys.
Any, um, any, um,
honorable mentions.
I had boring ones.
Musical artists.
I don't know.
Okay.
I mean,
I'd enjoy it,
but I feel like it wouldn't be that entertaining.
shoe styles
like types of shoes
like heels
sneakers
um
slides slides
okay
loafers
we're talking
we need to
yeah that's fun
cleats
and then underrated candy
underrated candy
yeah
that that one could get contentious
because it's like
hey
Reese is not rages
no
but it's not rages
whoever has nutrageous
you know
Reese's
I had
websites, could be a fun one.
Yeah, it's fun.
It's pretty open-ended.
Catch phrases for yourself.
Daddy's home, you know.
Rooms in a house.
Yeah.
Could get kind of fun eventually.
Talking guest bathroom, because that's where you, you know, can sit for a while.
Yeah.
You know, like, and you don't have to bother your wife.
Accomplishments, just in general.
Yeah.
Just a nice open-ended.
That's crazy.
that person hiked Mount Everest 85 times in a year.
I like that one.
Kind of fun one.
Yeah, bold that one.
Okay.
Italicized too or just?
Just bold.
All right.
Thanks.
Things a bad partner would do.
Pretty open-ended.
Could be wife, could be road trip partner, you know, take off your shoes during a road trip.
Group project partner.
States.
Jokes.
Just straight up jokes.
Could be kind of fun.
Knock, knock.
Yeah.
I like that.
And then worst gifts to buy a man.
Could be kind of a funny one.
Things you can fit in your pocket.
Kind of fun.
Those are all I got.
Nice.
Those are all good.
Yeah, thank you.
You got any more, Jigie?
Sad list.
No, I had just my four.
Good thing no one took them.
Yeah.
I really like logos.
Done four.
Well, thanks, guys.
I'm a bold.
Even if you guys don't pick Jake,
so don't pick Jake.
We're in bold.
Those are good.
Shmore is always fun.
Oh, just a little bit more.
Just a little bit more.
Oh, it must be that pepper time of the episode.
We're going to be fundraising for healing waters coming up.
It's going to be legendary.
Get your hearts and minds and wallet ready.
It's a worthy ministry, a worthy cause, support, and guess what?
See if I got anything else I want to get off my chest.
I went garage sailing this weekend.
Had done that in a long time.
Okay.
Rachel's out of town.
You went solo garage sailing?
I thought it would be fun to go just get some, like, crap.
But something that Rachel would like.
And, like, when she comes home, it's like, hey, I got you this for a garage sale.
Whoa.
Never mind.
I'm going to guess.
I have a guess of what you might have got.
You saw something out there?
I saw one thing.
Wow, it's going to be impressive if you get this.
What is it?
I'm pretty observing guy.
A candle.
No.
Good guess, though.
Yeah, we have been lighting this old school candle.
Yeah.
You know, I don't know, Ernest Hemingway or something, writing by candle.
Yeah, use your quill.
I got her this
like authentic
like depression glass
jar
Yeah what's the depression glass
Just the type of crud that girls like
Is that an era
Like a depression era
It seems a little too
True to be good
Or it's just like a sad looking glass
Like just frowns all over it
Let me double check right now
Because I want to make sure I get this right
Yeah it's like glass it was made
In the period of the Great Depression
Yeah
Cool
The guy who sold to me said, hey, we looked into this.
We got it like, you know, whatever.
We checked on it.
This was made in the, you know, 1930s.
So is this like, oh, great.
Talk, let's go back.
Talk to me about your decision to go garage selling by yourself, A, and B, did you drive around?
Did you research it or did you just walk down the street and find some places in our inner neighborhood?
I think I was on my way back from something Saturday during the day to my house.
Okay.
And saw like, well, there's a lot of garage sales.
going on today. Get home, settle in,
whenever you eat a little lunch. And I'm trying to make some
pickleball plans, which is one of those Saturdays where
no one's texted me back. And I'm like, well,
got a little time in my hands.
Why don't I venture off and go hit up
some of these garage sales? Okay.
That's kind of what led to it. Just a lazy Saturday. And it was
like 77 degrees. It was perfect
outside. Yeah. I did in sandals.
I felt kind of
just jank and redneck doing it.
Yeah. Do you have cash?
Yeah. Bring the cash along.
Uh-huh. Yeah, I felt good. So
hit up a few of them most of them
good luck trying to get rid of that stuff
lots of clothes and stuff that was always
that was always the worst it's like oh it's just clothes
I mean just clearly getting rid of just like stuff that
I mean that's what a garage sale is but I mean some of it was just like
broken like plates
okay you know or like clothes with holes in it or like a floaty
you know okay so Valder get off my high horse
I don't know if this is me having more money
than obviously I did as a kid
or if this is me living in the 21st century,
but I don't understand why you'd ever do a garage sale these days.
Because best case scenario, what are you making?
And why wouldn't you just try to sell that on Facebook Marketplace
if it's got enough value?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, kind of the same thought.
As you're looking around and seeing the prices,
like, all right, the highest item here is $5.5.
Yeah.
If I bought this whole store, it would be about $175.
dollars and maybe this is also the entrepreneurial aspect of me it's like and not in the sense of like
oh you could make money doing other thing but like time is money and therefore like to spend a
Saturday this took a long time to like set out all this stuff on your table and like decipher what
you want to sell and I'm like I think yeah you're making 50 bucks this morning but I'm like I think
you could probably try to sell something on Facebook marketplace for more money than somebody's willing
to pay at your garage sale for it I love garage sales. Let me just say that.
I think they're so fun.
It's like an American thing.
Yeah.
It's so awesome,
the American.
And so I'm sad,
it's like one of those things
where it's like,
I miss the newspaper,
but also why would you ever
buy a newspaper these days?
Yeah,
it felt weird.
It's like,
I haven't been to a garage town
who knows how many years
and my first time I went to
it was like in their garage.
It was like just like that.
I just parked on their street
and walked into their garage.
It feels a little wrong,
but it's like,
no, this is great.
But yeah,
I'm with you.
I thought all the same things
is like,
this doesn't seem like
fiscally like the best use
of like time and effort.
It's like if you're going to do a garage sale,
you need some big ticket items.
If you have some big ticket items,
someone Facebook Marketplace.
Right.
Get them out in front of thousands of eyes
rather than the one that's hopefully driving by.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It truly Facebook Marketplace just made it an online garage sale 24-7.
So I don't know.
It almost saddens me to say it out loud though
because I don't want garage sales to die.
Yeah.
There's certain things that are just like so American.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Do other countries do you think they're doing?
doing garage sales?
Who else would?
What would they call them?
I don't want to hear Canada either.
They're just America,
but just the higher north.
Like, I'm talking like,
does Finland do garage sales?
They might.
And make a sale.
You want two for 50.
Anyway.
Garage sailing, like,
when I knew,
when I was like probably eight years old,
when I knew that the next morning
we were waking up pretty early
and going garage sailing,
it was like one of the top,
three most exciting nights yet of the entire year it was incredible it's being your
s'mores of days of the year yeah oh totally like we wouldn't go very often it's like
I think there's garage selling season it's like probably spring more spring and fall right
I think and so it's like maybe once in a spring and once in a fall there's like a big garage
selling day and it's like that's the best day of the year dude there were some signs around
here that really got me they were like multi-family yeah neighborhood yeah I was like
And then maybe I got to him too late, or maybe they sold everything.
I couldn't find them.
I think maybe my mom would go on Craigslist or something, like to find the garage sales before.
And like we kind of have a plan where we'd go.
And I would just get just the most useless, like, just make the house more messy.
But I was so excited.
Secondhand toy that doesn't work.
Yeah.
You guys are firing me up for some garage sales right now.
Dude, I want to go again.
And it does like hurt me as like a realistic dad to be like, what you just said.
Like there's just more garbage that's in our house.
Yeah.
But I know my kids would love it.
Oh, yeah.
You find like a, it's kind of broken, but it's like a hot wheels track that like,
you can like launch the car.
It's like it works a little bit.
And it's so fun.
Dude, shout out.
We can put this at the top of the stairs.
Yeah.
My parents let me buy some stupid things growing up.
Thank you, mom and dad for, or there was one time these like futon, like foldable futon chairs
were free.
Like, we could use these down our basement.
We got a foldable.
They're like, okay, shove them in our back of our Camry.
Let's do this thing.
That's great.
These days I would be like, no, we're not putting that in.
All right, so we've done the cozy earth ad.
We've teased three different segments, right?
We did the pepper of the healing waters.
Yeah, we did mainstream roasters.
Now we're doing mainstream roasters.
And now we're going to figure out how to add and incorporate good ranges into all four of those.
Is that what you said we should do?
Coziness is great.
But I need some protein.
Yes.
I need to fill myself up.
Right.
And I want to support Americans while I do it.
Right.
And actually, I'm hungry for even a little bit more.
Okay.
So I'm going to subscribe to a box at good ranchers.com.
I'm going to get a free protein add-on for life.
I'm also going to get a little money off.
I'm also going to get expended shipping.
That's right.
Using the promo code, GRKC.
Yes.
Can I tell you a true story?
This is a testimonial.
I was in.
Who's just from the perspective of?
A satisfied customer.
Got it.
A realized customer.
This is a coming from perspective of,
Oh, girl who lives in small town, Kansas, who knows good beef, who lives with a farmer.
I can imagine it.
Okay.
My sister, this weekend was like, hey, when I was in Kansas City visiting mom and dad, I tried good rancher's chicken.
And I was always thinking, like, Jake and Brad, honestly, she was like, I think you guys were just like playing.
I thought you guys were just selling the chicken.
She's like, it is better.
It truly is noticeably better than other chicken.
What Rachel made last night was unbelievable.
I think the chicken is to blame.
Yes, I think, it's like if you try it,
I remember we had somebody in Gulf Shores say the same thing.
Like, you guys are just good at selling it.
It's like, yes, we are.
Yeah, we're amazing in the world.
We're like, please sponsor us forever.
But also understand that we are sponsoring things out of the passion of how good it is.
So it's good for you, good for your family.
It's noticeably better.
Yeah.
Your blood.
All the things.
I throw kidneys in there.
So once again, we have a promo code.
GRKC. It'll get you, it'll get you some discounts on some boxes. I don't care if you're going
of chicken beef, poor, fish. It'll get you where you need to go. It'll get you there. So, once again,
it's good rancher.com. It's welcome to the table. It's Main Street. It's Main Street delivered.
American meat delivered. Oh, dude, this is funny. You'll appreciate this. So I think I mentioned
we did those evals for Upward. It was like tryout kind of things. And since I was a
helping out with it. I was like a volunteer. Haddy got to go first, like, and not have to
stand in line. But all the other kids, I get there at a certain time and, like, stand in line.
And there's, I don't know, 200, 300 kids going through this thing per night. Like, it's a ton
of kids. And so while they're in line, Sam, our friend, who's the children's pastor,
want to do like a giveaway, like a raffle for something. Okay. It was one of those classic, like,
try to guess how many, I think it was like tiny little erasers are in this bucket. And whoever
gets the closest to guessing it wins a prize. And I think the prize, I didn't see the picture of it,
but how do you could see the picture, is this massive basketball beanbag chair, like one of
those like big old, like, you know what I'm talking about? I had a baseball one. Yeah. And
Hattie gets back, comes back into the gym. She's like, yeah, I just filled out the raffle,
even though I didn't have to wait in line. I filled it out. I said 1,150 erasers. And Sam looks
at me. He goes, did you really?
and he's like, yes.
And he's like, that's insanely close.
And so later on that night, I asked the woman doing it.
And she said, it's 1,000, she said, so Hattie said, 1,150, the correct answer is 1,182.
Whoa.
The rain woman.
And so, and I look at the, like, this bucket of erasers, I would have, as an adult, guessed
580.
Like, I would have guessed so much less.
Huh.
It's kind of crazy.
She has a gift.
But I'm like, if we get this beanbag chair, we literally can't fit it in our house.
Like, I think it's that.
It's like one of those like, imagine the biggest beanbag.
According to Haddy in the picture, she saw.
She's like, it's like, it's huge.
It's like, would it fit in our basement?
She's like, maybe.
Okay.
It's an outdoor beanbag chair, then.
The beanbag chair represents a future.
Maybe.
Of Haddy guessing these things right.
Well, apparently they're learning about estimate.
it's estimating in homeschool.
So Catherine, of course,
uses it as a learning opportunity.
Yeah.
It is kind of interesting
like how good
Hattie is at math
compared to other subjects.
I think she's smart,
but like it seems like
she naturally figures out math
a little bit better.
That's fun.
Yeah.
I somewhat had my own
rain man moment
this weekend as well,
but I stopped short a little bit.
Well, two kind of funny things
happened at Chipotle,
Jimmy Cherry.
One,
I get to the counter
and the guy ready
to make my brito
where yeah
I tell him I want a brito
he's like okay
and then he goes
for here to go
and I was like
that's interesting
it's like
it doesn't matter
what are you going to do
differently
yeah you get my head
in the foil either way
but I was like
hmm
to go
he's like great
and then puts brown rice
on my brito
and I was like
huh
so I heard that
pretty wrong
oh
I think that's what
happened
white
I don't know how
wider brown rice I heard
for here to go. I'm like, gosh, I'm a
danger to be in public. I need
a, I need Rachel with me. But then he took
you saying to go as okay, brown rice.
It's on him too.
I think he glitched. I'm blaming
him. I'm blaming him. Because they do
usually ask, if you get a bowl, they always say for
here to go. Gotcha.
So I think you said burrito.
And so he didn't have to ask for here to go.
So he glitched. And he's like,
uh, uh, and just
threw it on that. Just threw rice down. Yeah.
So maybe that is what happened.
I was blaming myself.
But yeah, I don't know.
Those are the facts.
He said for you to go.
I said to go.
He put brown rice in my brain.
I was like, all right.
And I'll do some chicken.
To go in, or rice in Spanish, it's aros.
Oros.
Maybe he said, what kind of aros?
You're like, to go.
Yeah.
Okay.
He's like, all right.
Kind of dodged the answer.
I'll just give him brown rice.
I was punished him with some brown rice then if he's not going to answer.
But then the other part, I wanted to use the restroom.
And so I go over there.
and there's like this whole keypad there to get in.
And, but I see that there's four numbers that are like smudged out.
It reminded me of National Treasure where they do the things and it's like, all right.
He's trying to figure it out.
He's like, Valley Forge.
It's Valley Forge.
Press the E&L twice.
I was like doing that where it's like, oh, 1, 8, 4, and 9 are all smudged.
Great.
It's got to be one of these.
So I just did different combinations and then eventually it got it.
1849.
I was like, I'm in.
that would be kind of electric.
Yeah.
It's like I don't need you.
Yeah.
That's not as crazy as the 1150 guess, but I still felt kind of cool.
I figured this out of my own.
Well, that's just you being smart.
Like that's you being observant and being like, seeing smudges.
Yeah, seeing smudges.
Yeah, seen smudges.
Yeah.
So, like, part of me is like, of course I wanted to win this beanbag chair.
Yeah.
But also.
You have to encourage this behavior.
Yeah.
I feel like if we would have won, they would have told us by now.
So maybe somebody guessed 1,200, which would have been.
like a little bit closer than 15 or 11.
Dang. I don't know. Maybe not
though. Anyway, we got
to have her do this again, though.
I'll have her guess more. It's just a fluke. She's
not even close the next time. I'm going to take her to Vegas with me.
Please. Patty, do you think red or black?
Black?
Patty, we're going to make a lot of money
this weekend. She's a natural.
She gets it.
Yeah.
Catherine would love that. Just, yeah, take our
eight-year-old to Vegas.
Knock on it.
Just figured.
Just in case they missed the Monday episode.
Just in case, they'll understand.
Vegas, baby.
Do you think you'll get out to the strip at all?
No, I doubt it.
Yeah.
I don't think so.
I don't know.
I am kind of near to work, man.
There's a business trip, Ike.
All right?
When Southwest asked, I didn't enter any of the other things because it's optional.
Why do they want to know?
They want enough so bad.
Is it just market research?
You know, it's funny, you don't have to answer that question.
You don't have to select business, personal, both.
But there is a fourth option that says prefer not to say.
Oh, there is.
Well, if I prefer not to say anything.
I'm not going to click it.
Oh, interesting.
I think I noticed that recently.
I see smudges and stuff now.
It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of the fact that I just
just niche that I'm energize o'clock.
Hmm, it's the ensemble.
The form of standard and mini-regrouped,
Hello, Ben.

Procurry
you see form
standard and mini,
regrouped for
a better
quality price,
on link
on C4.
Or a magazine.
All of a sudden,
you're just
noticing everything.
All right,
winter the week,
what do you always got?
my win of the week, I went to Chick-fil-A with my family the other night for dinner,
which was so fun.
We don't go out, all six of us very often, like out.
And so it was just fun time.
But then after that, the plan was, that was the night that the Deacon interview, whatever, was coming over.
So, Hart's night.
Catherine was going to go home, do some final, you know, cleaning.
I took the kids to a park.
It was a neighborhood park we'd never been to before.
It was a little bit of a risk.
And boy, was it a success.
They loved it.
They wanted to come back so bad.
you took a risk on a park and it was a good one it was it was huge for the program that's fun you get yeah
in this life four kids suburban life you're like taking a risk going to new park we've never been to
this park it has zip it had one of those like sliding zip lines on the monkey bars and all that stuff
it was great good juggle jim it was awesome so i win real quick one thing we haven't mentioned
when it comes to this upcoming healing waters promo they we're going to do is the grand prize one person
is going to be chosen. It's unbelievable.
My win of the week, the reason I stayed back,
it didn't go back with Rachel and her,
you know, dad's birthday, everything is
our friend Gunner,
his mom passed away in the funerals this weekend
and wanted to go to that.
And I think I've said this before, but I think funerals are almost like
good for the soul. Like everyone should go to a funeral once a year.
Just to once celebrate someone,
but it too just like put things in perspective.
I think they're good.
Anyway, Gunner got up and spoke.
He did a good job.
His brother Drake performed, like sang.
He did a good job.
There were a lot of cool elements
and it was a really good funeral.
But one part I really enjoyed is
I seriously get in there.
I see some of our good buddies,
you know, Nick and Josh and Harrison.
We couldn't be like the amount of cars
in this parking lot.
Like this is crazy.
Everyone here supporting Kelly.
And then Harrison and I both like,
bonded and realized, like, have you noticed how many cars backed in?
Which is like a Gunner thing.
We always give Gunnar hard time.
He's backed into every parking spot he's ever been to.
Harrison Mitchell, he's like in the amount of cars that backed in.
I was like, dude, I parked in both cars I parked next to.
They backed in.
Like, I should back in.
Are we all like doing this?
Is this a Duckworth thing or like, this is a Lee Summit thing?
Like, I don't know what the takeaway is.
It was like, this is great at a Duckworth funeral.
Everyone's backing into their spot.
It was awesome.
That's really funny.
Like, what if Gunner, because Gunner does literally, like, my driveway is so long, like, twice as long as a normal driveway, at least in the back.
And he always backs into it, no matter what, even if there's five cars back there who are, like, weaving out of them to back in?
What if his whole family did that?
And then, yeah, like, all these people in honor of Kelly were just like, we're backing into today, we're back in.
Yeah, I was like, yeah, you're right.
Everyone did back into the parking lot.
Dude, that's awesome.
Yes, that was kind of a fun thing.
That's so sweet.
I wish we could have, we were in Sublette and we're so sad to miss it.
But it is like, it's like, yeah, it just puts everything in the perspective of like,
okay, yeah, I'm living, I'm living this life and I'm worried about making, you know,
ends meet on this project or on this whatever.
But like, it's like, man.
And obviously, it's so much more fulfilling.
It's not even so much more.
It is, it is only fulfilling to go to a funeral if you know that these people love Jesus and
it's like, it's like the different kind of perspective of it's like, oh, man.
I wish I, like, why didn't we do more for this person, you know, if it's the opposite.
But like, when you're just celebrating, you're like, they're in a better place.
Like, yeah, of course, it's still sad on earth, but it's like, this is, this is a celebration at the end of the day.
So people were giving me a hard time.
I, I wore a suit, but I wore like a light blue blazer.
Okay.
Everyone's like, ooh, baby blue blazer.
And I was like, sorry, it's a celebration.
There you go.
I don't like to wear black to fun of me.
Everyone's making fun of me.
And that is kind of uncharacteristic for you because, like, for, like, Gunner never wears anything bright and, like, colorful.
Like, Gunner's always just, like, white, black, tan, brown.
Mm-hmm.
Like, I've never seen Gunner.
Like, I bet Gunner was, like, really upset that you wore a blue blazer.
Uh-huh.
In the slideshow, he's wearing bad birdie polos that I gave up.
And, like, shield your eyes a little bit when they come on the screen.
No, I actually heard a story that the sport coat that Gunner was wearing that day, he thrifted earlier that week.
that week perfect yeah like or recently that's awesome somebody told me he he's he's the king
yeah that dude's been to some garage sales yeah it's probably doing one right now I'm glad I'm glad
to hear it was good yeah I mean of course it was but yeah I'm glad to hear that um I win did a little
music live stream with some friends this week oh really uh when I was Tuesday night um dang on
Instagram dot com yeah got to get back on it's okay we want to do more okay uh
On Facebook, maybe?
Maybe.
Or maybe just like email, email like chain?
Email blast.
Yeah, just send me an email.
We should try to figure out like.
No, I'm, don't cater it towards the seven people that don't.
I'm going to send it to you, Brad.
Okay.
No, that was, this was fun.
It was like, we had a couple songs that it was me and my friends, Emma, Elliott, and Oliver.
And we, one of the live stream concerts, like, this doesn't look like mid.
but yeah it was just great it was like we had a couple songs we're like we kind of know this
we'll just jam these and then like take requests and it went fine it's just like you know find
the people that are requesting songs that we know just like do our best yeah highlights big gravity
by john mayer that was that was fun how do you sorry i was kind of i was i'll be honest i was trying
to find a comment of the week um did you talk about how do you do the music aspect of it so
because gravity's you got to learn how to play that guitar
I mean, there was no gravity.
I mean, Eli was on, like, acoustic guitar, like, kind of just doing chords, but it was just, like, the main meat of it was a piano.
I just, like, kind of did it on piano.
I don't know, like...
You figure that out?
It's...
The chords are super simple.
It is.
And then it's just, like, I kind of figured out the first, like, the intro melody a little bit.
And then mainly just, like, sang along to it.
And then Oliver was on Cajon.
Me and Emma were singing.
So, yeah, that's fun.
That's fun.
Gravity.
What else?
That was great.
We did.
trying to think of the ones
that like really kind of came together
we did reckless love
which was like
just a random request
and that like kind of sounded great
it was like a good moment
what else
um
started with waiting on the world
to change by John Mayer
lots of John Mayer
and Lizzie McAlpine
was a big other artist
we did a lot of
I don't have much
uh knowledge of her
she's really good
okay you should listen to her
okay I'm trying to think of good
I should say I'll send you some
okay but yeah it was fun
it was a win
fun
thank you
One Instagram.
Yeah.
It's over.
It's one.
All right.
Come to the week.
Mine is going to be from Rhonda Cruz, 39, 31.
Talk about waiting for the show to come back on with the amount of seconds.
We didn't have that back in the day.
We ran to clear the table or do dishes.
And our mom would tell us when the show was back on sometimes.
She would forget and we would have a lot done.
And we would ask, is it back on yet?
And she would say, oh, yeah, it is.
That's so relatable.
That's great.
It is a good old day.
It is so relatable.
and it's so fun.
Like, yeah, so good.
Like, sometimes I would, like,
turn the volume up a ton
so I could go in the other room
and do something and come back.
It's back on.
It's back on.
Because every once in a while,
it was a quick commercial break.
Yeah.
I was like, that was only three.
And then a little, like,
promo for the news.
And it was our time.
So good, good memories.
Mm-hmm.
I liked all the comments
helping, like,
helping us understand how they did go on vacation,
in the 80s and 90s and 70s and whatnot.
Yeah, that was great.
It sounds like there's a lot of travel agents
and word of mouth.
Yep.
But my comment on the week comes from Sean Thomas White.
Sean White.
He said, I've never heard of anyone
hearing about Ghostrunners' way,
so I forget to write a review.
Me and my best friend were diehard Gas Boys' podcast fans.
It was such a special podcast for us.
I'm sad to have seen it go.
They had mentioned Ghostrunners.
I knew they came out to visit you guys.
Your podcast popped up from my Spotify algorithm.
I gave it a go.
First episode I remember really enjoying was Fiasco
in the intersection.
and I've been hooked ever since.
I've been listening backwards,
and now I'm all the way down
to the time-in-free episodes,
which honestly is really sad.
But I did also find the episodes
when you mention Gavin, Christian, and Parker,
which is super cool.
Either way, love the podcast,
love finding out about inside jokes
and slowly learning more and more
about the lives of two random guys in KC,
that I literally have no connection to
but care about so much now.
Hope you guys keep at it for years to come,
unlike the gas boys who sadly don't do the podcast anymore.
God bless.
Thank you, Sean White.
Do you know about the gas boys, Tim?
I don't it sounds familiar because I've listened back you would love the gas boys but it was just
like another podcast kind of like they were like they were high school yeah because Gavin Gavin was
maybe college when he came but yeah kids that came from Oregon oh yeah yeah yeah I remember
we called the Oregon boys but they and then I think we did call them the gas boys for some reason
they spent a lot of gas coming here from Oregon or maybe it's because they don't pump their own gas in
Oregon yeah that's probably what it was actually yeah and so then they made a podcast
I mean, it was two brothers
and one of their best friends
and they're just fun, fun dudes.
So, when they moved to Texas.
Parker is the one who looks a lot like Forrest Frank.
Yes, don't get a big head, Parker,
but he's a good-looking kid.
Yeah.
Love the Gas Boys.
Me too.
Great.
Hope you're still listening, G.B.s.
But that is, I did see that comment.
That's so fun.
Yeah.
Like, of all the places,
I have not heard of Gas Boys connection yet.
So, anyway.
good stuff
always fun
