I got a lot of things. Good. I don't know what to start with them. I need you to have a lot of things. I kind of stressed out this morning. I went to my back computer and went to type and send me to my podcast notes and nothing was there. And I realized I don't have any memory. Or like, this is bad for me, my brain moving forward.

If I'm like, well, if I don't have my notes, I can't podcast. That's like how I felt. Kind of that's how I feel too. Like, yeah, I was like, oh, crap, what I do? Luckily, you take pictures sometimes. So I looked back at my picture. I was like, of course I did this thing. Why do you to write that down in my nose?

Yeah, because I knew I had a ton. and down, I was like, if I don't have all that stuff in front of me, I'm not going to remember. How will I, half of it? Should we try to, let's, how long can we go without notes? And I was just like, oh, man, I forgot this detail. All right, let me go back. Remember the story I told earlier? How often do you, I'm, this is starting.

This is just organic. Feel good at it? Yeah, that's great. They can see me walk in front of the camera sometimes. How often do you wish, like, when you talk? tell a story, like, dang it, I forgot that detail. And that would be way funnier if I didn't reveal this thing before I said this. Oh, totally. It's part of, it's part of growing up. Yeah. I feel like I do a pretty good job telling stories. I would say I do it for a living. And still, I'm like, ah,

I look back and I could have done that one better, even the way I tell Rachel a story. Like, ah, there was a right way to do it. I don't know if I did that right. This is kind of comforting, though, that you think it is a skill that we will continue to acquire over time because a lot of comedians are older. My father-in-law, your dad, great storytellers. Yeah. Great, and I'm like, ah, they just got it. They have it. I don't have it. I don't have it like they do, you know. I think if you have, uh, you know, a learner's mind, I think you do get better at stuff. Okay. Yeah. I just didn't know if that was one of those like, he's just got that. He's got the natural panache. He's just Nash. Who's Pinnash? Uh, yeah, it's just, what a beautiful

ash. Pinesh? Pinesh? We talked about Pannash. You guys know Pannas. It sounds like a guy I would hire to do some like graphic design for me in Bangladesh. Yeah, what did you. Oh, I just, I went to Fiverr and just, yeah, I got a guy, Pinnash. Yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like. No, Pannash was the kid that, uh, won the spelling bee at my school. Wasn't good at basketball at recess, but, uh, yeah, could spell the heck out of words. I don't know.

Oh, here we're back, baby. What is Pinnash? Panache. I've never heard the word before. I swear we talked about on the podcast. Really? The podcast. Did I know back then?

Nope. Okay, good. Learner's mind. Panash. P-A-N. P-A-N-A-C-H-E. I think it's like a just a like a, how do you pronounce? It's like pizzazz.

Kind of like a finesse. Or finesse. Is it a mix of? Finash. Yeah. We already have pizzazz. I'm going to keep using pizzazz. Panash, dude, you don't want to use panash with me?

Also, that's not how you... Yes, it is how you spell it. Flamboyant, confidence, or style of style or manner. Scott Panash Peck. That guy's Panash. That guy's about as close to panash as you can get before you're... Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down

with some random thoughts in white. Me 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 it's a ghost from this podcast. Every morning, we're taking ground. Ghost for this podcast.

Yeah. Panash. Let's use it. All right. I'll try. I'll try to start. I'll try. Okay, fine. Panashty. Dude, that ATP was Panashty. Hey, Panashty Nelson. Panashty Nelson in the pink shoes. Panashty. Let's get Panash, Panashville. That's good. You can make some merch Panashville. Yeah, once this word gets more popular. I think you could have the definition

like under the shirt. Like, there's Panashville and it's like, Panash means this. It's a pun on Nashville. I love the shirts that have the definition on them. Yeah. So basically what's happening is a play on words. Right. Nashville. A place where we laugh, cry, and sometimes. Cheer for the press.

Yeah. Oh, Catherine texts me, listened to the podcast last week. She's like, Tyman saying, have you ever heard of Bill Self? Sweet Timon. You know, because that's just like one of my heroes. Have you ever heard of this guy? I think you probably know, but I'm just going to ask. Have you heard of Bill Self?

To be fair, it's a little more niche, timing of like people that are awesome. Yeah, I should have known at least you for sure would because you're like a KU guy. Yeah. That's true. I will say that's the only guy I've heard of of all the people you were in the room with last week. Okay. You see, are you or Scott, someone was telling me, oh, yeah, that one BYU guy at the time interviewed, he's, like, the number one, like, consensus going to be the number one draft pick in the NBA next year. Oh, wow.

Oh, the BYU. He's with BYU. Really? What's his name? Yeah, I didn't know. I don't know. The guy you tagged. I had never heard of him before.

I had neither, but Scott was like, he's a big deal, or at least going to be. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Never mind. If this is all coming from Scott, it may not be. It might just be one of those things. You guys got the best player. That's, that's one of those things where, like, if you're not in, like, the top, top tier.

you know all the facts about how you're kind of top tier, but you're not. That's what I know about Kansas. Like, I know all these facts about Kansas that are like, hey, this is pretty interesting, but it's like, but we know that we're not top, you know, top 20 states probably. You know what I mean? Wait. Explain it to me in a different, um, in a metaphor. Yeah. It's kind of like, um, like let's say, let's say you're a flower. I don't, I don't know why I started with flour. let's say you're a flower and you are you're a marigold okay solid flour everyone everyone's you've heard of marigold you're going to find it at most nurseries but man you're not a rose I see you're on a tulip you're not singing a song about me and so therefore you're like you know

what I got to figure some stuff out about myself to boost myself up a little bit I need you do the marigolds are the only flower with nine seeds instead of 11 everything else you know just like weird fun facts like that it's like oh why does it's just kind of unique but the The seeds help it grow the same way, but like, I don't know. That's kind of a fun fact, right? Right? First highway, highway, interstate highway system was in Kansas. Oh, cool.

Yeah, Scott's like, do you know out of the top 64 schools that made March Madness, we played at the highest elevation? You know, this is like weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we have the largest GA section in all of sports. So it gets rowdy because of that. Yeah, there is an inverse relationship almost. Not completely inverse, but I was going to say,

like, I feel like when the royals, like me and like, I feel like my uncle John, we always laughed. Like when the royals were really bad, they would find some insane stats. Like, Raluabanias is hitting 450 at nighttime games when the pitcher doesn't, his parents are divorced. Yeah. When the pitcher is from Venezuela specifically. Yeah. And he's left handed in its seventh inning or after. I mean, seriously, they had to dig deep.

Yeah, six homers. So bad. It was great. Like, yeah, he's reached base on 45 of his last 200. 96 occasions. It's like, I bet on that 297th, he didn't reach base. So, yeah, stuff like that. This is even just factual, but I remember we hung on to this dearly.

In like 2012 or so, the chiefs were, worst team in the NFL. They were two and 14, but we sent six people to the Pro Bowl. Yeah. It's like, that's kind of fun. Yeah. So what's going on, actually? Why are we so bad? But we were very proud of that.

But it's like, hey, we're good. We have the right pieces. Once we put it together, just watch out. Yeah. And I think two of those were like special teams. So, all right. We sent like basically four people to the Pro Bowl. Yeah.

Still. Still. And to be fair, you know, yeah. And one of those guys was, yeah, basically special teams. But he also did some other stuff. There was one year where the chiefs literally didn't throw a touchdown to a wide receiver. Yeah. Dwayne Bow years.

Yeah. And that was kind of a fun like stat. Hey, we still won a few games without really having receivers. We're changing the game. We're reinventing this thing. So anyway. I went to the Chiefs game this week. I want to hear about it.

So, yeah, you know, I talked to, you know, a couple months ago, we did that charity pick-of-all tournament for Travis Kelsey's backup, Noah Gray, which, yes, he's a backup tight-in, but, I mean, last year he signed like a $23 million contract, so he's doing all right. Oh, yeah. It's good to be a backup. Listen, he's the backup to...

One of the greatest of all time. One of... Take away. One of greatest... Wait, which word do I take away? one of the of all time one of the greatest of all no uh you just take away one of the greatest of the greatest of the greatest he's back up of the greatest he's back up with the greatest of all yeah i think i think that's

and we're pretty sure he's going to hook us up with tickets i mean he was so nice in person but this whole time we're having to go through like a middle man and anyway the game was on monday night hadn't heard anything i woke up sunday morning to a text from Noah Gray himself. He was like, hey, man, it's Noah. Here's your tickets. Here's your parking pass. Have a blast. I was like, my man. Thanks to Tom. Okay. Go get them. It's always great. hooked us up with the parking pass. Might be, I might have unlocked something for me. I think next time I go to a Chiefs game, let's get the cheap seats. Let's sit at the very top, top row, but I'm going to splurge on the parking pass. I think that's the way to do it.

Dude. Yeah. Those are awesome. Because even when the Chiefs hooked us up, I mean, we didn't really have that good of a parking is bad. I mean, we illegally parked by NBC. Yeah, we made it, we made ourselves have a good parking pass, but we did not. Yeah. Yeah. I remember Andrew shoot he's like, that's where you parked. Yeah. That's like players in NBC only. No problem. Remember we put the, we just rode on our like my air freshener. It said it's okay that I'm here. Don't worry about it. Yeah. So you got a great parking pass though. Yeah, they kind of just like keep waving you. We don't know where platinum lot E is and then it just keeps getting closer and closer. closer, but not only was it convenient because of how close we were, but we got club level

access. Like we got to go indoors, even though our seats weren't indoors or anything. Because of the parking path? Because of the parking path. That's what I'm saying, life hack. What? That's what I was blown away. I was like, this borderline doesn't make sense. Did we like go in the wrong door or something? Cool. Oh, because of how good of a parking pass you had, you had to go through this entrance. Yeah. Whoa. So you like went to a different like compartment of the stadium that there was no, there was no line. I'm very intrigued. That's what I'm saying. next time we do this, do the good parking pass and just get cheap seats. Did you ever look up how much a platinum parking pass was?

I did not. Because like normal parking is like, Tyman. Time, I'm going to do great at this. Okay, let's, no, let's let's give a number, Jake. Sorry. We're going to see, like, we're going to see if timing can get within how many dollars? Of like the general emission parking. He can get within $11.

Okay. I agree. I hope. Well, let's see. I mean, I don't know. Like, I don't know what to base is on, but I'm like, per car. I think per car, it's like enough to be pretty annoying, but not enough to be like, oh, I can't part.

That's a good. Maybe 25. Okay. You're wrong. You're wrong. He cannot get within 11. Yeah, you did not. I think it's 40, right?

I thought it was 60. No. I thought it was 60. Holy cow. Okay. Okay. If it's 60 for general, Platinum's got to be. I'm walking to the stadium, dude.

Then again, I probably should have thought about, like, tickets themselves like, like the cheapest tickets are super expensive. Honestly, though, I bet you could get a ticket cheaper than 60 bucks, maybe. Okay, really? Okay. I mean, for some reason I thought, maybe. I guess, I'm sure it depends on the game. I thought tickets are like, oh, you have to pay

300 or more for like a ticket. I mean, it's a... I've never looked it. Do you find platinum? All right, well, okay. Platinum, in my opinion, I'm guessing you can't even buy those. I bet that's like exclusive access, backup tight-ins only. I did find a Reddit thread

in the title of the post is Chief's parking is really $60. So I guess that is that. And then the quick AI overview says Platinum lot E, which is right parked, can be over $471 per pass. Whoa. Per pass.

Well, I mean, that's per car. But you're getting cheap tickets, so. And I'm getting cheap tickets. You're splurging a little on the platinum. Crammed a lot of people in one car, split it four ways. I still think that could be the way to do it. The 15 passenger van goes to the platinum lot.

yeah yeah that's pretty funny wow okay so were your seats good i didn't love the seats okay um was it you and i he went to a game one time yeah there was a player's section where it sent next to juan thornhill's girlfriend oh oh yes well that was yeah that was right yeah that was like back when we got kicked out of our seats yeah that was that game yeah so we didn't actually sit next to her we talked to her briefly yeah we talked to her for a good 10 minutes lower bowl corner you didn't love them because it was kind of hard to see you Maybe some of the worst. Really?

I didn't like to view. Okay. I mean, obviously, getting in there for free, like the experience was awesome. It was really fun. But as far as, like, if you had to choose. Spectator's sport, I would rather be in the upper deck, 50 yard line for sure. Especially football, it's fun because you can see the play development. There was, I'd say, like, 96% of the game takes place pretty far away from you.

Yeah. You know, only a couple plays, or they're, like, kind of in front of you. And then, I mean, it is fun. Like, Chiefs are backed up on their five-yard line, so they're super close to you. And, like, Xavier Worthies out wide ride. So it's like, that is really close to me. So I'm just going to watch him. And I'm like, that is, he is really quick in person.

That's neat. Yeah. I, well, obviously, watched the game. And I wondered, like, does Noah, was, did Noah Gray know? Like, he had a great game. And, like, was like, did he invite everybody to this game? Because he's like, they're going to put a bunch of plays for me in this game. Because he hasn't had a crazy good year.

I mean, statistically this year, I don't think. Yeah. No touchdowns yet. But, like, he had a ton of, ton of catches, ton of, like, play this game. and I was like, I wonder if he invited 20 family members because he's like, this is where they're going to put me in there. I don't know. We were cheering for Noah pretty loud.

It didn't seem like anyone else around us, like was also like, hey, you're cheering from too? Could you tell who everyone else's, like, family was there? I could tell you who one was. So somehow, I need to follow up with Scott. Somehow Scott knows this guy, but Juju Smith-Schuster's cousin was like right next to us. Scott knows him. Scott knew him and knew the guys with him.

I don't know. Like, we got to our seats. And Scott's like, no way, no way, dude, good to see you. It's like these two white guys next to Juju Smith's Jusers' cousins. I don't know how they all know each other. Oh, interesting. This guy was pretty loud. I mean, to give you guys a little context of non-football people, like this guy named Juju,

he's like a middle of the road receiver. When the chiefs are really injured, like they have been the past years, he gets to play quite a bit. Now that they're healthy, he's like fifth on the depth chart. He's not going to see a lot of playing time. I think anyone can objectively look at this and say that makes sense. not his cousin. I mean, first play the game the Chiefs send out

four right receivers. Oh, come on, put Jujoo in! Put Jujo in! And then he just kind of does that for three hours. Anytime Juju is not in the game, he's like yelling, complaining about it. Like Andy Reid's going to listen to him.

We score four touchdowns, and it's like, should have been all Juju! What are we doing? Come on! He's most reliable receiver we got! Come on! Dude, come on. Meanwhile, yeah, like whoever,

Hollywood Brown's sister is right in front of him. Like, hey, what about my husband? Can my boyfriend play? Is that okay? Yeah, that was interesting. Oh, interesting. Dude, you saying that Scott knew his cousin, like, reminded me, I watched the game with Gunner. And Gunner follows every single Chiefs player on Instagram.

So is he pretty up to take with weird stuff. It's unbelievable. Yeah, so I was like, I wonder if Scott's just. She knows her Instagram names too. Yeah. You noticed that? One of the cornerbacks for the Chiefs have, has a really random. That's what I was trying to get.

Jalen Watson, I think, you know, sauce two. Paper Cup. Paper cups, that's right. Yeah, paper cups. And Gunter will like DM them and be like, hey, do you want to come play football on Saturday? I'm like, if you ever had anybody respond? He's like, no, but someday somebody's going to it. In season.

So, yeah, like he knows all about, like he knows every single player. Like, you know, holding on, you know, number 13 on a kickoff return. He's like, dang it, you know, blah, blah. I'm like, you knew that. So anyway. So Gunner might all. also know what Juju's cousin looks like. That's funny.

Yeah. Good times. Anyway, it was fun. Trying to think about you. Bro anything down from that. Tried to buy a Noah Gray jersey. Turns out they pretty much exclusively sell Mahomes and Kelsey in the stadium. Oh, really?

There wasn't like a thing. There were a couple smaller pro shops, and that was like pretty much, you know, Mahomes and Kelsey. And then we did find a way to a big one. Yeah. Oh, it's nothing. But yeah. And even then, they dabbled in a little Pacheco, a little creed.

Really? A couple receivers. Bucker? Didn't dip down. Oh, I saw one. one buck her jersey, didn't dip down to backup tight end territory. So I couldn't support him like I wanted to. I guess I assumed that like those places would have every single one.

Like it's like, well, they put that guy in here? Yeah. But that's too bad. Backup tight ends. Bummer. We'll get you on. I sent Noah a follow up text, told him thanks a ton. And he out exclamation marked me.

He sent seven unique sentences all with exclamation points. Oh, wow. I see. I think you meant like he responded with an explanation, like one of those. No, he like, glad you loved it. Thanks so much for coming. Yada, yeah, you know. And then ended it with, let me know if there's anything I can ever do for you.

That's awesome. I feel like if you're an NFL player. There's something he could do for you, first of all. Well, yeah. I feel like people are probably hitting him up all the time for stuff. I run a pickleball company and sometimes I want to just bash my head against the wall because how much people want for me all the time. Do you know where I could get a disc, like maybe a discount on your paddles?

I can't imagine if I play in the NFL, I would be very lenient with who I say, let me know if there's anything I can do for you. I know he's probably just be a nice. but still, I would hold on to that. I mean, very few direct accounts with him, but I've heard he's just an awesome guy. Like from you, from like Jess Eggleston. That's right. Like was a neighbor of his.

I don't know if he still lives there. But like, yeah, just like great, great guy. So glad goes to church with him. Somebody else also said something about going church. So yeah, that's awesome. So maybe get him on the pod? I'm maybe out of season. I don't think it's out of the question.

Yeah, a little April pod with Noah. Truly. That'd be awesome. two last things to tell you about the game one i'm going to send you guys a picture real quick time if you want to put it on screen um this isn't towards the end of the game fourth quarter i just looked to my left and i was like huh that's not totally cool i'm gonna kind of like the phil collins where he's watched a man watch a man drown oh i took a picture of a man taking a picture of a chief's cheerleader maybe that's maybe that's his daughter yeah that's what scott

said yeah definitely not definitely not his daughter you don't take pictures like that of your daughter. You don't zoom in like that for your daughter. Oh, no. I feel like you see like, I see posts like that every once in a while on social media. People like, yeah, doing that exact thing. Like, just like, all right, man, we're in public. We can see what you're doing. There are, I feel like he must have been lingering for a while. If you'd have time to get your phone, not to take a picture of him. Also true. Yeah, you're right. Because this was, yeah, he's a pretty good videographer because honestly, he's tracking are great. I mean, I never saw her leave the frame and yeah I saw it happen once and I was like Scott look at this I was like you know

let's get the phone out and yeah he was still snapping away at time to zoom in no problem I'm hopeful hey believe believe the best of this guy okay it's his niece yeah his niece who doesn't love to take pictures of their niece who doesn't love taking pictures of their niece and send him to well her parents could make it so it was like this what she looks like yeah yeah she's doing fine yeah yeah she looks she looks a little cold yeah I wait until the end of the fourth quarter to send you an update that but she's out here she's doing great i waited until it kind of cleared out behind me to take a picture of my niece man uh how was how was scott as a watching partner oh it was great we had a blast yeah yeah 10 out of 10 good uh yeah no notes i think we just we had a good time

we just couldn't believe it we walked around we did a full i'd say pretty much a two full laps around the stadium because we got there early we just kept walking around the club level and ran into some podcast listeners. Remember the Rablicas ran into their parents? Lizzie and Louis' parents. Yeah. Kept bumping into people. Only other story from that night is

this is one of those stories that people were going to probably think that I'm making this up or embellishing something. But unfortunately this happened. And let me just start with the end of the story is I got back in Scott's car and he's dying laughing and I'm like, dude, can we just go?

Can we just? Can we just? just get out of here. Okay. I didn't even find it funny at the time. So we're, Scott had to, Scott's never like inappropriately laughed. Hey,

it's not that funny, dude, stop laughing. He's never done that. So he, he probably deserved to laugh. I was just scarred. That's the end of the story.

Okay. You know, we're trying to find a halfway point to meet up for the game anyway. He's like, I got to drop Palmer off at dance. It's already in North Can City. Just meet me there like 5.30.

I'm like, great. So as I'm driving North Kansas City, this dance studio, I sent him a couple texts along the way. Like, sorry, did running late. Dang, I'm in more traffic.

And anyway, I'm not hearing back from Scott. That's important because when I finally do get to the dance studio, I still haven't seen anything from Scott. Like, I'll meet you out there or just come on in. So I'm, I just assume, oh, he's probably inside just like talking to a parent or whatever. So I'll just go inside and find him. And so I guess one, it's just like I'm just like this adult man walking to a dance studio. And I've no idea what to expect. And there's two women at like the front desk who I kind of, you know, smile and wave to.

But I want to act like I have a purpose here, and I'm not just, like, looking around. So I want to walk with purpose. That's why I walk in the first hallway confidently. And then I, like, not really seeing Scott opening a couple doors and not. He's got kind of checking my phone real quick. And then I go down a second hallway, going to a third hallway. I mean, I'm creeping everywhere. I can't find Scott.

I'm like, well, you know what? I do have to go to the restroom anyway. I'd rather do it now than, like, who knows how long it's going to be until we get an errorhead. So then, after we're getting done creeping through the nooks and crannies of the girls dance studio. I pop in the restroom. And in a moment of panic, I went into the women's restroom in the dance studio. Oh, no. Seriously, I don't know. I don't know how I didn't see it. I don't know why. I guess they were just flustered, but I mean, immediately walk in. You don't see the urinals and you just freak out. I didn't see a girl or anything, but it's just like, oh boy. And these two women

at the front desk saw me go out of there and I go, hey, yeah, oh, I just went in the women's restroom. Like, I need to like address it. You're like making a citizen to rest for yourself. like, oh, just FYI. I am guilty. I'm guilty. FYI. I was like, is there a men's restroom? And then they were like, let me walk you to it. And I was like, yeah, you're going to get an escort, bud. Yeah, I was like, I think they don't normally do this. And I went to, anyway, it turns out Scott was in his car in the parking lot the whole time. And I got out of there. I was like, I did not represent myself well in there. Like, I don't like what I did. I don't like who I was in there. I'm so embarrassed. Like, I just creeped around and then went into the women's

pressure. And he's just dying laughing. I'm like, can we just, just drive away. I never want to come back here. Yeah, just like, I feel gross about myself. I can't believe I did all those things. Yeah, that's wrong with me. That's rough. Dude, you got to, yeah, you had your phone out the whole time, like zooming in on the girls dancing. My niece. I don't know. Yeah. How far into that bathroom did you get? It was small bathrooms. I mean, right away, it's just like sink two stalls. Oh, two stalls. Where am I? It's over. Yeah. get out. Yeah, see the girl's dress on the sign. How did I not see that? Oh, oh, I'm actually winning a women's dressroom. Accidentally, accidentally. Where's men's restroom? Where's

restroom? You completely like changed the way you. I was actually the bachelor, men and women's. And just trying to like hyper focus on like, how much do I should I over explain? I'm here for a buddy. Maybe you know a palmer, but I'm like, no, no, don't, don't be too weird. You've done too much. We went to just drive separately by. I got pop, pot on the parking lot. You're like, turned to Gabe Oliver and speech jammer. Like, blah, blah, blah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, the par parking. Yeah, I mean, I think, I don't know, that was like, I don't know what that was. Pop, palmer pack, pack, you know, Pat, Paul or Pac.

Oh, I didn't like it. I had to just, like, truly shake it off. And it's like, Scott, get me out of here. Let's have a good night. Let's just forget all that happened. Yeah, never, never going back there. Yeah, I didn't lie. I'm probably not allowed back there, so.

here she is here's what she looks like yeah you could see i would never cheat on her i mean check her out Like, yeah, you, yeah, you would talk about that next? Yeah, sure. So fun story right off the bat, you know, I think I said last week or two weeks ago, I did find a girl to play with. She's from St. Lucia. You know, she's a Caribbean girl. Right.

I made the mistake of telling Scott this. And then my second mistake was listening to a voice memo from Scott right before we started playing. I just see that Scott sent me a like a 14 second voice memo. I'm on the court. I'm like, oh, I wonder what this is. The short of the voice memo, the riskier. Right?

Absolutely right. It's five minutes. It's like, oh, this is probably a few different things. Yeah, they're talking something out with me. Yeah, yeah. And I guess once again, I'll tell you, I'll start at the end. I replied back to Scott and I said, well, I listened to that at the wrong time and at the wrong volume. Because she was just pretty close.

And yeah, I clicked on this voice memo. She's like, hey, Jakey baby. And that's, I just like shut it off and like throw it in my bag. Like, oh, gosh. I mean, the rest of it was pretty funny, though. I mean, it's just him just like being, I think my Caribbean, like, mother, I think wishing me good luck. Okay, exactly.

It was the perspective it was from. And do you think, does she have like a Jamaican style accent? A little bit. Yeah, there's a little like, yeah, Caribbean in there. It was fun. I had a good time with her. Great weekend. But yeah, that part was pretty funny.

Yeah, so you were in Vegas, right? Yes, in Vegas. Had a really good time. Really long days. I mean, me and Isaac went out there for pickleball. So it's like, we're waking up at 6 a.m. We're going to the venue. We're some of the last ones to leave it.

Go to dinner, go to bed. I mean, that's all we did. It's just like, go get sunburn at pickleball. What did you do for video? Did you hire somebody out there? No, it was just me and Isaac. And so I was like, why don't we just handle it? I did rent some gear from time.

I got a bow. own to pick what time and and you as a videographer yourself oh okay yeah you would hate the way time it's camera is set up oh it doesn't color not automatic cuddle grades um he actually he had it on a 5600 wide balance i just turned it to auto let's be honest yeah we need to get crazy yeah it's not it's it's warm versus soft right we get it you're getting it there's two ends this but yeah it's like 600 26 spectrum yeah right so i don't know what they're called exactly but the main i'll tell you there's a few different dials on a camera Yeah, so there's grandfather clocks.

There's the grandfather dial. All right. So the main grandfather dial, I would say the primary dial, it's like where your thumb naturally falls on a camera. Oh, yeah, I know that one. That is just like, and a nice thing about Sony cameras is they're very customizable. It's like, yes, this starts off as aperture, but you can have it be anything. I mean, every button, a lot of Sony cameras come with buttons that just say one, two, three, and four, and then let you program whatever you want. Okay.

And timing has a Sony or has a... Time and has a Sony. And you have a Sony. Okay. So, oh, so you know. It should be easy. Yeah. So I go to touch the grandfather clock dial.

This should be shutter speed, aperture, maybe ISO. But I mean, 100% of the time, I've only ever seen this be shutter speed or aperture. The main two things you're adjusting on the fly. Time has got the main dial as volume control. What? Don't love that.

Don't love that one second. That's so Gin Z, man. The thing I have always worry about volume. The easiest access to is, is how turned up the microphone is which doesn't matter because we have separate microphones so just out of curiosity

like how often do you need to change up and down the volume usually when you're when you're recording something maybe we should ask time maybe he's changing all the time not very often I didn't know that that was even set to that I like I'm only ever I think of the grandfather dial

as the big one like that's the spinning dial yeah okay that's what I think is great that and then that's great I have my shutter speed in the back or my little like my index finger can do it I don't know I but it is very weird like that other dial should not be volume though like that doesn't make any sense I mean never you're never like on the fly changing that so I I'll accept that we did learn about your home screen being no apps you actually use so maybe this makes sense that like the best button is like I don't really use that one very much yeah I actually did since we recorded that episode like I like just have two pages Good for you, man. And it's all just like the stuff I use. Get to one someday. I'll try.

Today, right now. Okay. So, Tom, I have bad news for you. You say that the back dial is shutter speed. I think. Oh. It is not. It is actually not programmed to anything.

Time in, time and time. I couldn't figure out how to change the shutter speed, which wasn't a problem. I'm in broad daylight. So I just kept it at one five hundredths for three days straight. We'll put a battery in your camera. You'll see it. The back dial. One five hundredths, timing.

It's not programmed to anything. It says there's like an X, through it or whatever. Really? You're like one of those 88 year old women who buy a MacBook pro with like

the biggest RAM and the best memory just to check their hot mail. I think I am. I think I just like I'm just like well this is how it is

this is the best camera so I'll just get it. There's no show. That's wild. We'll take a look at it after this but I couldn't figure it out how to switch it and I was like well

it doesn't really need to be switched I guess. Interesting. So bone sufficiently picked or? Bones been picked, yeah. Everything else was fine. Had to FaceTime him one and a half times. Yeah, Bartus tripod. A lot of batteries. A lot of charging boards. It was good, though. Yeah. And yeah, there were times I missed time. And a couple things I kind of missed, you know, I've lost track of this, but most part is okay. Isaac played singles on Friday. Yeah, how do you do? He did pretty good. I compared it to some of the math competitions I did in high school where I reframed it.

by saying, I came in first place in the white division. Oh, okay. It was a lot like that. It was like going up against a lot of pinashes. Yeah. Where, yeah, basically, I mean, he was the only white guy like that we saw in the bracket, which is kind of, I don't know what the takeaway is from that, but it's just like a fact. It's just like, oh, yeah, he was the minority, being a white guy playing singles.

Okay, and I don't even, I'm going to guess the other nationalities, Asian or more. Yeah, almost primarily Asian. Okay. And then I think he lost to a Guillermo. okay which i would say italian yeah probably probably italian maybe filipina could be yeah either way so's like dude been there before you know math competitions you go hey give me in my own class yeah we do a separate pretty cool pickleball provision just for singles yeah the white the white community is like hey pickle ball is still kind of our thing hey come on don't don't take come on come on you've got

you got ping pong and racket ball tyler hansborough's like not again no come on. Roy Hibbert dominated me. Yeah. So he did pretty good. Okay. He kept giving me like heart rate checks and they're all pretty high. I mean, he would be like the other person would call a time out.

He'd come over to the camera. He's like, all right. We're 195 right now. I was like, dude. And we were going back later today looking at his like fitness app. He's like, looks like it was at 210 for a little bit. I was like, you need to like probably put all this into chat GPT. But I'm going to let you know right now you're not going to like.

what you find. I don't think that's good, dude. You need to... Yeah, for how skinny and in shape he is. Yeah, I was like, this could be the parasite somehow affecting your cardiovascular system as well. Because, like, one, like, that's not crazy for me, but like, I'm a big boy moving big mass around. Yeah. Big Panash, you know? But, like, uh, I mean, he's one, he's, he's in the ones for sure, weight while. Like, he's just a small dude. Yeah. I mean, he's working hard, obviously, but... Yeah, it's singles. It is a lot of work and maybe I'd be right there too if I was playing singles but I was like dude that feels high wow I thought you were more in shape um could be but it was fun we had a good time there's yeah there's one other

guy I probably first noticed him probably six months ago as far as another guy making Instagram like pickleball funny videos and probably the one other guy doing it where I'm like I actually like this guy this guy actually seems funny not the big guy he's not just like overweight and that's the joke it's like no this guy seems funny right and we got to connect with him and pretty much hung out with him for like two days straight, went out to dinner with him. Okay. So great. Kind of like DJ Mikel vibes a little bit.

Okay. He was really, really great. What's his name? Made a new friend. Sean. Sean. Shout out Sean. So, it's new friends. Have you seen the guy that does

Dax Flame style videos of Pickaball? Yeah. That guy was funny to me. It's really funny to me. Jake says, no comment. Well, all of his stuff is just copying other people's. I'd only seen, I'm like, why don't you do your own video? Yeah.

You don't like when people copy your videos? Dude, I learned a lot about addicts pickle this weekend. Tell me more. Ooh. Uh. Vaguely tell me more. Yeah.

So I guess you could reframe this as a cool thing. The reason it's called addicts pickleball is because the two founders were former drug addicts. Got it. But I think now they're like, we're addicted to pickleball. That's what it's about. So it's like that has a, that's got merit to it. Sure. For them.

Yeah. Um, but maybe not totally over it. Ah. Florida. I heard. And this is all secondhand, but. It's crazy how people unprovoked people all just be in a conversation with pigball people and they're like, do you have these attic pickball guys?

What is with them? I'm like, you have a crazy story too? Like a lot of people like probably talked to forward for people this weekend who like unprovoked had a crazy attic pickleball story. Anyway, yeah, I guess one of the co-founders made a ton of money by creating crypto ATMs. Okay. And what that is is a way for, I think, drug dealers to operate. It's like an unregulated way to like get.

cash and like do dead drops that yeah it's on trace all the stuff okay so like no he's not drug dealing right he is like allowing them to operate it's like that guy that met you one time he's like what did he say i'm not what do you say i'm not getting sued or i've never been sued or something like that oh yeah it's like i love you're saying yes i remember that oh yeah i'm i'm not a drug dealer it's like i you don't you don't have to start a conversation like that and what i did is above the age of consent in Florida. Well, I've never had to say that before. Listen, third cousins technically not incest, all right? Yeah, these like little disclaimers, these little things are like, and by the time they found out it was cross county lines so they

couldn't prosecute. Yeah. Oh, good. I guess. Um, you know, I guess you could take this with a grand assault because this is all, you know, I heard her from the guy, I heard from a guy, but it's like, yeah, that same guy is like dating an only fan's girl and they've filed for bankrupt it's just like bad thing after bad thing after like yeah they wanted to do this with me and I didn't want to do it with them so they went and told the school that I worked for that I was harmful to kids and you know it's like oh gosh these guys are just these guys are a mess yeah these guys are a mess is a good way putting out addict pickleball.com check them out it sounds like they need our business more than ever right now uh man and for context I guess it was a long time they stole like a whole video

they like Friday pickleball yeah content very like very accurately something that we all put a lot of work at two. I mean, you shot and edited it. Yeah, they really did. It was one thing to be like, yeah, because we were like, hey, I'm glad you liked it, but can you, like, take it down? Like, we put all the work into this. It's not like a trend that other people are doing.

Like, this is our original work. And they were like, oh, yeah. And then they went and made a whole separate account and doubled down and got in our comments and said we're bleepin, bleepin people with even worse bleepin paddles. And I was like, whoa. Bleepin, bleepin people. I'm trying to think of what the second.

It's Irish. They bleep and bleep and. people. The second one is literally bleeping. Freaking bleeping. Yeah. Yeah, they were, they were, they were, uh, fun people. So yeah, and they're still making waves. Okay, so you play with Isaac and you played with St. Lucian. Yes. So let me send you another picture to put on screen. So Scott's got a buddy, he's got a neighbor who does screen printing. Who's done some stuff for us before. Just like, hey, I've got a plain shirt, can you throw a Friday logo on it? I feel like he's done a fine job in the past.

So this time, not only did I send him, Isaac and I's John McEnroe outfits, like, can you put Friday across the butt of the shorts? Can you put Friday, you know, the upper, like, left peck? Yeah. I got a few other shirts. Can you send? That's fun.

This guy will never screen print a shirt of ours again. Oh, no. We're like, dude, is he a drug dealer? Why can he not do it straight? Did you do it blindfolded? Yeah, I don't know what happened. Scott said he legit just threw away two articles of clothing. They were that bad.

He said straight up, it was like 45 degrees. He just threw him away. So I just texted you a picture. Look how low on the shorts the Friday is. Two of the letters are in the crack hole. You swallow the letters. Frey. It looks like Frey.

It looks like we love the fray. How to save a life. Put two of the letters in the fray, you know. Oh, got them in the fray. Oh, I'm talking from the fray. Dude. It's so low on the shorts. To be fair, I wouldn't know exactly where to put him.

Fair. It's, you know, I guess it could have been more specific rather than just like put Friday across the butt. But also, if you do screen printing. Yeah. Like, is this like out of his house or is this like a... I think it's out of his house a little bit. Yeah.

But I mean, yeah, like we got one back that's like below the nipple. It's like where, why would you ever put something there and like a little... Actually, This might work out. I've forgotten with this. I might be wearing one. I don't know if this one's that crooked or not. How's this one look?

Hold on. Oh, it's hard to tell from here. Oh. I'm like to fine. I don't know. I don't think I would have ever... First of all, I don't even know if it's crooked, but I never would have noticed it.

Okay, it's wearable. I think so. All right. For sure. All right, this one's wearable then. I mean, you're also like pulling it up. Yeah, not the best way to show it. But anyway, so the shorts were kind of a bummer.

It was like, so now we're hiking them up so much so that people can see it. Now our boxers are hanging out of our shorts. That was not a deal, but it was fine. Yeah, we unveiled the outfits on court, on camera, proceeded to get smoked 113, 113. We're like, oh boy, maybe we shouldn't have come all the way out here. Maybe we shouldn't have played 50. Probably shouldn't have dressed up in costumes. Are we going to go 0 and 2?

Because they put you in a double elimination bracket, so it could be a very quick day. So you did go, or... No, we ended up going 3 and 2, thankfully. But we were a little nervous after that first game. Oh, I see. The first game you lost... That was the first match.

Two games. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, the first match, you lost two games in a row. Yeah, I was like, what have we done? We're idiots. This is going to be a long day. But then you perform eventually.

Yeah, but then we won the next three and finished middle of the pack, so it was fine, but... Okay. Great day. Those tournaments are always just a... it's another reminder of like why don't we do more of these this is so great i mean the conversations you have are insane they just don't happen online it was just like it became an ongoing joke like we'd be maybe in between something we're watching center court watching the pros

play like let me go fill up my water bottle real quick and i was again all right see in 30 minutes yeah right you know it's just like it's like we were at a place with 10,000 ghostwinners listeners or something we're just like everyone here knows who we are and they want to stop and talk and it's awesome yeah but it was funny as swapping stories it's like me and iza got six separated for an hour. Oh, there you are, dude. What have you been up to? And it's like, the people you talk to, you know, so-and-so who just played Ben Johns? I talked to him. He wants to potentially sponsor it or, you know, sign with us. Oh, that's great. I also talk to these guys. They say you run a private equity firm. They just bought 90% of good, good golf.

Like, whoa, that's crazy. And he's like talking to this guy. Oh, whatever. Who'd you talk to? I talked to this guy for 15 minutes and found at the end of it, he was an American gladiator. His name's Nitro. We're like, oh, okay, cool. Who else you talk to? Oh, this is. This guy who makes these sunglasses, he wants to potentially do a, you know, deal with that. You know, it's just like every 15 minutes, you have a conversation that you would never have naturally or organically. Yeah, people are, people are ready to talk and ready to talk about so many different things. All sorts of stuff. And you have no idea what the next one's going to be.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can be a fan, could be a business, you know, whatever. Because the rest of the Friday guys are like, this sounds so fun. Like, what else is happening? I was like, every time I go to the bathroom, I come back with a brand deal, a YouTube video and a signed player. It's just like it's a mixture of everything.

and it's fun dude I felt like Michael Scott where I'm like the men's rooms were disgusting I was like I'm going to the women I don't care if I get the rest warrant as well

I don't care if your niece is in there all week and long the urinal couldn't flush so it just became like this nasty trough where it's just like everyone's gross

mountain dew dehydrated urine is just building up it was disgusting so you got to go in there honestly I would wait to just use the stall just to go pee because I've never like faced such a disgusting urinal situation. So was this in an indoor urinal or like is a makeshift bathroom? No, I mean,

it's a it's a really nice, really huge tennis facility. And so they've got a couple bathrooms spread out, but it doesn't matter which one you go to. Oh, they were all bad. Yeah, it was kind of a trough style urinal. So it's got a little bowl to it. It's ready to hold some. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And it does. Yeah, it's got a basin to it. It's not just like a flat urinal. It's gross. Gross, dude. Gross. Yeah.

You got out there quick. On the bathroom topic, we did get some good feedback from last week's episode about... Oh, kicking. I was surprised how many girls said they kick. Why not? Because, well, because of it... With guys, you're already facing that way. Oh, I've already primed to kick.

Yeah. Girls are doing a 180 kick. Yeah, girls have to, like, really intentionally kick. They kick it like a horse. Whereas hand just boom. Kick it like it. Like they kick backwards. They stand up and just kick behind them.

If that's the case, I want to know because that sounds awesome. You used to do it hands free. Like, where am I at? I think I got it. Boom. Yeah, I was very surprised. A lot of girls were like, yeah, I'm a kicker. I'm like, really.

And I guess it's just for sanitation purposes or something. Yeah. I was very surprised. Guys, I get it all day. We're already looking at it. Yeah. it's like, it's like basically like a target for us. Okay, here's what I, I'll be honest.

Here's the things that I would like like like in a business and here's the things that I need in a business. Things I like in a business is if it's like got some credibility, got some history to. I got some, you know, let's say, let's say 20 years ownership, 30 years experience, like these people know they're doing. Other things I like about it is if it's, you know, I don't know, like going to be, going to be local rather than like a national change. Okay, yeah, yeah.

Here's things I need in a company. A, it works. I need to work. I need to be functional. I need it to, you know, not be so expensive that I can't afford it. I need to see the value of it. And I need it to sponsor the podcast so I can talk about it. You know, for like, because I'm not just going to talk about any business for free.

I'll throw on a fourth one. Yeah. No spiders. Totally. I can't have any spiders. We've always said, like, listen. Spiders are for outside of the business. Yeah.

Right? We've got, you know, we've got some, a coffee sponsor. We've got a food sponsor. You know it's too similar to there? No spiders. Zero spiders. You're in there. Nope.

And the same goes for signature pest control. That's right. You will, they will be a business you can trust. They have been doing it 20 years. They are a local company. And they'll get rid of all your spiders. Yes. We.

You name it, they'll get rid of it. We love our pest control. I mean, it's one of those things where I have been working on a project that I'll talk about later on the episode. didn't have pest control there, and it showed. Pests were uncontrolled. Pest were uncontrolled. Stinkbugs everywhere, dude.

I don't like those. And you know what's even worse than those? Those, like, jumping spider cricket things. Yep. Those things are borderline, the most terrifying thing you've ever seen in your life. Yeah, we need more movies, villains made out of these. Yes, I think, what's his name? Dr. Octopus was loosely based off of him.

Probably so. So whatever villain you have in your basement and your walls and your nooks and your crannies, get them out of there. Signature PestPro.com can take care of all of it if you're anywhere in the, you know, Salt Lake area. Yes. In Utah. So check them out. You get 50% off your first service.

Tell them, Ghostrunner sent you. Cediturepestpro.com. What else? I think we got a lot of feedback on a bunch of random stuff last week. Let me look for some comments. A lot of people, a couple weeks ago, you know, bird watchers out there were very confident we had hawks. Oh, were they? a falcon yeah dang i was so proud of myself but i definitely could have been wrong but it seemed like

the same photo i agree and maybe maybe they're wrong you know but they were very red hawk you know whatever um oh yeah that's right uh we knocked on the surfboard and then people kind of gave other requests can you guys please explain some of the trinkets on the shelves i always wondered how you obtained a water burger table number oh yeah um where is that do i have it if you have it it's not even here Yeah, maybe at one point we did. That was like an inside job joke, but yeah, like, like Waterburger, obviously. We have them now in Kansas City, but back in the day, it was like this mystical place, you know, oh, we're going to Waterburger. And so anytime I would visit Catherine, Texas, I think I would try to go to Waterburger with her, and I would just steal our little table market.

They never would take them. And I'm like, that's kind of a fun souvenir to be like, remember, like this time? So it kind of represented us in our dating, marriage, you know, relationship, whatever. My dad had a friend who would collect the dividers when you're checking out at a grocery store on the conveyor belt. And we had like seven of them. And always I still think about to this day. I'm like, how did he like pull that off?

How did he like get that into his cart without them noticing? That's a hard thing to take for the table number. Also like, yeah. And to be fair, I know it's stealing, whatever. Like so I'm not, but I'm like, that divider, they probably only have one of them. those that would be pretty inconvenient for all come on all right we'll just put i guess we'll just like have a little bit more of a space we'll do um almond joy no one's buying those so that we'll just do the almond joy as a separator because we know that's not a part of anyone's car oh dude haddy

last night i picked her up for milana and she goes dad i just tried these things they're called york candies oh they're like peppermint on the inside and chocolate on the outside they're so good she loved them yeah i was like oh hattie those are amazing you're about to have a good Halloween. I was like, yes. And then Catherine was like, we can make those at home. I was like, that's classic homeschool answer. Like, you know what? You know, you think they're good now. What if we do it with organic coconut? Uh-huh. We got our own little peppermint oil. We do a peppermint essential oil in there, you know, all natural dark chocolate. So, more comments. It was close. It's not grafting. It was grassden. Grassden technique for the,

the metal thing on the calves. Oh, dude. The painful skin massage. Yeah, I'll say this. Got a phone call yesterday from Jordan Algae, our boy. We know a little thing about that. Yeah, how much can we say about that? I guess probably not as much now that you've said his name. Correct. But maybe I'll say something in another episode, and you can connect the dots.

Okay, okay. But I got a call from him. We alluded to something he had an experience with a couple episodes ago. Got a call from him. Not Noah Gray's girlfriend. Sorry, go on. One of the best girlfriends. one of the best fiancés.

Yep. One of the 13 best. Anyway, he called me. He's like, hey, Megan was listening to the podcast the other day, and she just, you know, I haven't listened to today's episode yet, but she was listening to today's episode. And I was like, oh, dude, he's going to, like, be mad at me for, like, alluding to this thing. And I was like, oh, no. And he goes, and she just wants to let you know that she does cupping for her,

you know, physical therapy thing. If you ever want to do it, or she has dry needling, like if you ever, if Jake ever wants to go do it again. If I'm trying to cheat on Zinka. Uh-huh. And I was like, dude, I thought you were about to like, rip me a new one for alluding to, you know, your experience earlier. But no, it's just about my skin.

That's just about your skin. So, FYI. So maybe another episode. Revive PT, I believe is what they're called. Revive? Revive? Devive? Down in the Laito?

I think that's what it's called. It's brand new. but yeah she wants she's like if you ever need a cupper maybe I will he he talked really highly of the dry needling stuff too he has like I had uh what's it called rotator cuff issues in my shoulder and she dry needleed it for like seven days straight or something and all of a sudden like he's like it's crazy like you get like the next day you feel like you got done with like a workout with that muscle or something but it's like it works so kind of fun I know it would be kind of fun to like just go on the location and whatever you recorded episode or

while we got dry-needled. No. Got caught. Kind of fun. Yeah. All of us. Oh, wait. Did any of our things happen

from the Chiefs game? I don't think so. Dude, but we were on like the one-yard line and I was like, if they throw a pass to Patrick Mahomes right now. So, A.

did not fall over, but I saw somebody comment like, I feel so bad, Rudy for Andy Reed to hopefully fall. Oh, I forgot. That was part of it. That was funny. Yeah.

I went to the KU game on Tuesday night. Wow, basketball's already here. Dude, did you heard of this guy, Bill Self? Bill Self, I think he's like some up and coming. I don't know, he's like involved. I think he's involved in KU. Uh-huh. He's all right.

He's, yeah, he's doing okay. And, uh, no, KU had their first, it's called an exhibition game, which is just like, doesn't count for the record. They usually play somebody that they're going to beat the snod out of. We played Fort Hay State, you know, small little, no, no, where school, not nowhere school, tiny school in Kansas, um, dominated them, whatever, uh, but four days was in SBU's conference.

Are they really? Yeah. So you know, you know, they're not the same like level as, you know, the big dogs, but they're not, um, anyway, my dad has tickets. He's like, hey, this is first game of the year. You want to go?

And I've been talking about taking Bo to a game sometime. And so I was like, what if I can get two more tickets for Bo and Haddy and we all go together, uh, Olivia, ghosty Olivia hooked it up. she got two tickets for us and so we went um and it was awesome it was it was so fun i didn't tell them about it until like pretty closely beforehand bow was like decked out he has like this puffy vest like jhawk's puffy vest with this hat on had he was looking like like kind of like like fashionably cute with like her denim shirt and like red bow you know kind of thing and um you know i had taken head you to one game before like a couple years ago and

it was awesome um it's kind of like her you know first time it's like this This is so fun to do this. And, you know, the first time I took Hattie, I was like, I'm going to get her something from the gift shop to, like, commemorate. Like, so we got her a stuffed animal, Jayhawk. And Hattie walks in this time, she's like, you know, since I already have a Jayhawk, I'll probably just get a jersey this time from the gift shop. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's a one time. That's a one type thing. You can bring your money next time and get your own thing. But we're not going to do that every time. I'll probably just cut down the nets after they ran and take that home. Bill Self, he seems like a nice guy. I wonder if he would come and hang out with us for dinner before the game. I'll take a bedtime story from Bill Self.

I already have a Jayhawk. Right. All these, you know, I was like, no, that's not how it works. But, you know, we get to our seats and they have like the big, you know, introduction video and everything. And it's so loud. Such, like, they do it, in my opinion, better than any venue I've ever seen in sports. And, like, and Hattie and Bo were like, I really liked it, but the drums were like hurting my chest.

But it was fun. I mean, Patty especially, like, was kind of into the game. Bo could understand enough to be excited at times. They both really loved putting up their hands

for the free throws, you know, and they even loved even more. We weren't even that close to like behind the basket, but we were enough to where I could convince them like, hey, if you move your arms around like the students are doing, you know,

and they miss. It's like, you helped. You're part of the game. And so they were really into that. Oh, this was cute. um so we've been to a few games like like royals games and stuff so they know the jumbo tron

to an extent but like you know they're panning around doing the jumbo tron thing where they're showing different people in the stands and i was like if you guys get crazy enough they'll they might put you on there does did like sitting up and dance the dance camp you know and they didn't really get into that but then a little bit later i think they kind of like the second or third time they were doing the jumbo tron they kind of clinged on to of like oh okay so you just had to be like kind of like cute and fun and so every single time that KU would score a basket, they would hug each other and like embrace it a hug for like 15 seconds and just look at the jumbo trot and smile and like hope that it would come on.

And then there was one time like a timeout, they were just hugging each other for like two minutes straight and look at the jumbo trotron. That's so funny. And then like they thought the jumbo tron time was over. So they like get away and I was like, no, no, it's still going. It's still going. Oh, so it was great. We didn't say for the whole game, but I mean, it was a blast.

that's such a great memory yeah it was fun to do with my dad obviously hug at each other who's taking me to so many games and went to went to a little bar and grill beforehand they'd never seen a TV this like that was like projector screen TVs you know yeah like the whole wall was a TV they'd never seen a sports bar like this and so um anyway fun time that's a great night yeah it was really fun it was really fun yeah great time with them so the um putting your hands up reminded me there was a guy who we played in like seventh grade basketball who like we were shooting i think they the other team was shooting free throws and a guy kind of like in the paint like you know one of the guys down there

he looks across the the lane from him to like you know his teammate he's got his fingers up he's like dude spear fingers and we held on to that we never forgot it his name was uh his name was avery and i mean for the rest he ended up becoming a really good player played division one basketball but it didn't matter we always knew him spirit fingers like we were in seventh grade when he was like obsessed with spirit fingers so he was on he was on the other team or he was on he was on he was on he went to branson oh that's great dude spirit fingers so you think tape knows him yeah yeah probably i mean it's probably younger but a couple years younger or something but yeah that's great dude spirit finger come on his own team he's like the guy in sports

it's like coach is right guys hey listen to coach our effort stinks yeah come on guys stop cutting corners. That's so good. This isn't going to be like this forever. We probably think we've got it made. Yeah. Someday you're going to miss these times, guys. So maybe you're going to take that jersey off for the last time.

Mm-hmm. Coach is right. Coach is right, guys. Touch the ground on your suicides. Touch the ground every time. Slap the floor with me. Spear fingers. Come on.

Spear fingers is great. A little work now. Seems a lot of work later. Come on. Yeah. Think about it. Trust me, dude. Box out.

even when you know it's going in. Just, it's the little things, dude, above approach. I didn't mean to go in the women's locker room, dude. Sorry. Yeah. Stop getting corners. Oh, man. Yeah, it was a great time.

KU game, rock chalk. That's fun. Haddy commented your picture's really small, but this might be the Hattie that we know, who came to stuff. Similar to time and not liking God only knows is worded. I always feel weird singing

nothing is better than you in the song Graves to Gardens because it sounds like having nothing is better than God. Oh yeah, there's nothing. I'm putting nothing above you. Nothing is better. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wow. It works both ways, obviously.

Oh, that's true of those like glass shattering moments. Well, never going to sing that in the song. Yeah, that's great. It's true. There is nothing. There's a lack of things better than you. Or... Right. Yeah, that one, like...

Nothingness. Truly could mean either thing. Because they say there's nothing better than you, but then eventually they reemphasize it by saying, nothing is better than you. That's true. They start out with, oh, there's nothing. Yeah. Which, yeah, that makes sense.

But then all of a sudden. Nothing is better than you. Nothing would be better. I'd rather have nothing. Honestly, nothing. Nothing is better than you. it depends how you go about it i'm going to think about that every time that's great i love that that's funny yeah i'm tempted i'm i'm worried about asking for this but i'm like i wonder what are other

examples yeah and i think that one would come up more often because you're not like if you go to for king and country concert you might hear that one but like this is your graves in the gardens and like a classic worship setting i feel like yeah nothing is better than you that's one of the songs it's like i'm i mislead in worship because I would love to leave worship. That's, I think that's, that one has like the boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's good.

Yeah. I've had zero calories today. How? No food. But you know what? I have consumed liquid. It's called Main Street Roasters. And do you think I'm functioning right now?

Or do you think I'm kind of struggling with my, no, I'm sharp as attack. You seem all over it. I'm all over it. You seem like Joe Biden 90 years ago. I'm Control A and the, whole room maybe say what say that again control a command a all i select it all you select all this room i'm all over it they call me big blanket because i'm all over it they call me they call me movie credits because it's all over it yeah so i'm all over it i'm all over it i'm

I'm all over it because of Main Street Roasters. I'm trying to do a, I'm trying to do an ad for coffee. Okay. I thought, yeah, I thought the blanket company was back. No, but a big blanket would go good with coffee? Yeah, 100%. I'm trying to, I'm trying to, no, but what I'm trying to say, I'm trying to say, hey, not only, not only is coffee good tasting, but it also helps you be all over it. The coffee makes you all over it.

Yes. Not metaphorically. Literally, unless you spill it, it's not all over. It's not going to be all over anything. No. Great. but you're all over your sharp as attack sharpest attack I want to they they say

personal story include sharp as tech yeah please do a testimonial and say sharp as attack five times I think we just hit it right there it's hard to get it in the fifth time but yeah coffee season falls here get you a little you know some if you need a little espresso for your lattes run out some black coffee it's got to smell great whatever you get they got tons of all flavors made sure it's dot com 10% off GRC's promo code

Speaking of music Oh yeah I End it with a jingle Yep Good episode guys Awesome No I came in

Feeling kind of like I just feel like I'm running on Fumes Quick trip Quick trip Red Bull stuff I sit up till like Four-ish last night

Trying to like I just told myself I Okay hold on Multiple things to say From the top So I'm leaving soon to go to Mississippi

for two weeks to film a help film a movie. So he's doing it. I'll be gone. Amish or no? No Amish this time. Sci-fi. It's called... Kind of the opposite of Amish. Pretty much, yeah. Kind of turning your back on the Amish. High tech. I think it's... Current title is like Altarity or something. I don't know what that means, but

I don't know. It should be fun. It's like some of the same people that film the Amish one. Anyway, I told myself, so I've been working on this song and I'm like writing for just like hundreds of hours. way too long. Wow. I, okay. Which like, you're gonna hear that and be like, oh, it's got it. It's gonna be really good. Like, it's just because I don't know what I'm doing. Okay. But, uh, I was like, I just

should finish this before I leave because I won't be able to work on it there, like, or record vocals and stuff. So I was just like last night, just sitting in my car mixing it and trying to finish it. And then like, even this morning, I'm noticing things, but I'm trying to just be like, I'm just going to put it out just so I have a song out. So I like, when you're listening to this, this Friday. Okay. It should be out. Ooh. Yeah. an original song. What's it called? Running home.

Oh. Huh? Running home? I said Panash. I'll talk to Spotify and see if I can change it now. Running home. Okay.

Yeah. I didn't know what to call it. I was just like, what lyric kind of occurs? The lyrics are all nonsense, basically. Like, they don't mean anything.

Don't look into them too much. Yeah. Because I was like, that was a big block for me trying to make music. I was like, I don't know how to write lyrics that actually mean anything to me

without them sounding just like super cheesy. So I was like, I can write lyrics that just don't mean anything just to fill the melody. So I love that you said that. I love that you said that and like rather than like trying to be deeper than like you truly are. Like sometimes I'm like, can you just be honest, Ben Rector and just say, I don't know, this is just a good lyric.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm not maybe truly is always like feeling certain things. Yeah. But sometimes I think it's just, hey, it sounds nice. Yeah. It sounds good. It's going to connect with somebody. Uh-huh.

And that's great. Like even if it's not like based off of this super deep, you know, revelation I had. Yeah. It's truly just like, and even like throughout the, throughout the song in every different section, like a different thing came first. Like, oh, I just like thought of this melody and then I put some words to it, then I fit out the chords. Or like, I had a chords idea and then I just like was like, okay, I got to come up with some kind of words. I don't know. Like, it's very random.

But I think it's not professionally produced. Right. But I think it'll be fun. Yeah. Okay. So a few different questions. Yes. Let's start with A.

why are you doing, why were you editing it in your car? Yes, okay. So I guess the reasons I can think of, they're probably like the, I think they're the nicest speakers I have access to. Like, people listen to music in their car. So I'm like, I'm going to try to make it sound like a song on Spotify as well as I can.

Okay, cool. And it was in the middle of the night, so I didn't want to be loud. Like, I feel like. Because you didn't want to do it on your headphones. Headphones are just not quite as accurate, I feel like. Okay. They're almost like too good sound.

They're too good. Yeah, you hear everything. Okay. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Is that like a normal thing for, like, I think, like editing videos. I think producers will, like music producers, they'll like, you know, do it on their, like, really fancy monitors. But then I think they will, like, do a car check or like that's cool. I think I've heard that that they'll listen to it in their car. So I just did it all in my car. That's cool. Okay. Yeah. So that's why. I thought it was just going to be like, I don't know, I was just, I just had to do this.

And I was at the McDonald's parking lot and I just couldn't. Yeah. I, in the like, distro kid or wherever you upload the music. You can choose your record label name, so I just said, uh, driveway records. Yeah. So that's fun. Yeah. That's fun. Someday it's going to be like, yeah, dude, he, he's called that because that's where we used to do it all.

You can go back to this driveway where you can see it all. Sportage records. Okay. Uh, and then I guess next question or like, yeah, this is more just me, assuming or like being worried myself if I were in your shoes. If you're editing like something, I feel like the more you edit sometimes the more it's like, does this sound so edited like so produced so like yeah because obviously there's like hey you got work hard to fine tune everything yeah but then all of a sudden it's like like sometimes

i mess very very amateurly with a picture you know the saturate like you you don't editing photos can be that way too you get lost and you like go back to being like oh my gosh it's like highlights and saturation and brightness and warmth and like yeah vignette oh my gosh I can't even see the original picturing more. It's like, yeah. And I feel like some, every once in a while when I've very, very, I've probably only tried for like an hour at most at a time for a song. But it's like, oh, whoops, that sounds. Yeah.

I think I'm going to like, I want to make more time for stuff like this in the future. Like I think I'll find a style. But right now, like I've showed a couple friends and they've said it like, all over describe it as kind of just maximalist. It's like there's a lot going on. And it's like, that's fine. It's just kind of. I don't know how to describe it because I don't know music well enough, but that makes sense. Yeah, it's just like, it's like verse, chorus.

I'm just trying to make it as non-boring as possible, kind of. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of fun. It's kind of like a... Because I've been putting some, like, close friend story updates. Oh, cool. Oh, yeah, I've heard it. Some of it's like... Yeah, yeah.

From what I remember, it's kind of like verse, chorus, mini verse, pre-chorus, bridge, chorus, another bridge. It kind of just goes and goes. It never, like, it doesn't have like a traditional song structure. Yeah, but I kind of like it, so. Yeah. Would you consider it like a ballad?

I don't know. I picture a ballad as like actually telling a story though. Fair. So it's like this is just kind of made up stuff. That's fun, dude. But yeah, I'm excited. Like, I think it's like since people know that it's just self-produced to the best of my ability, they're not going to be like, oh, it doesn't sound like professionally done.

Yeah, of course. So it's like, I just want to, for too long, I've been like, I can't put anything out until it's perfect. And I'm like, I'll just, I'll just make a song. Dude, that'll, that'll fucking preach, man. I think, whatever, I was, I had lunch with Nick Hagman yesterday. Great time. Just love Nick, man. And had never had, oh, yeah, with them one-on-one.

It was like, this is funny. But we were just talking about the, yeah, whatever, the business side of things and like, how so many people just don't ever truly do it because they're worried about it not being good enough or they're worried about failing. There's probably a psychological name for it, but like, like perfection keeping you from ever starting. I don't know how you would tie a bow around that. Right.

Well, and I, I was like, there's something. really admirable, and it's like cheap, cheap admirable, fake admirable about like having a vision and having a big idea and having a good idea and having a plan for something that you're going to do. And so it's like, if Timon's like, hey, I've been writing this song and I think I'm want to, I want to make some music. I took journal entries from when I was 12 years old and I did this. And if you listen to it with certain speakers, the colors look like, it's like,

dude, that would be awesome. Yeah. It's like really cool, dude. That's awesome. And so like you're kind of, you kind of get like this dopamine hip. from people, like, being, like, really excited about that. And so then it's like, well, if I do this thing and they don't like it or it's a failure or whatever, then it's not good.

So I'm just going to, I'm just going to keep it in the idea stage. I'm just going to keep it in this like, you know, non, I can't fail if I don't ever do it, truly, you know. And so therefore, and we just, yeah, we just hear people all the time be like, oh, I'm going to have this, I have this great idea for a business. Like, I'd love to do this. And to be fair, like, I am the same way. Like I, and so, so often I'm like, well, I just need to research it like crazy and be, be more

prepared, be more like, I need to get the right software. I need to get the right equipment. It's like, listen, you can, but also you can be like, hey, people start and they fine tuned along the way and no one expects you to have it perfect right away. Like, Billy Eilish, didn't she make that whole, like, album that she blew up on in her room? Childhood bedroom. Yeah. So it's like, just go. And that pumps me up, man. It's just like, good for you. Yeah, I'm excited. If there's this guy, Joshua Heath Scott, who like makes videos on creativity, who like lives in Kansas City and I'm friends with him. But like he, says really like his YouTube channel is really good for stuff like this like he just really

this like inspired me to finish this and like because he's like yeah just make even if yeah even if like you don't even like it very much like release it and show it to people and then some people might like it or you guilt feedback and you can make your next thing better like yeah yeah I'm excited just like see what people think of it also of course you're making it for other people to enjoy but it's also you know it's like I I always struggle with that I struggle with Gene Shorts of like am I proud of it. I'm so pumped about this video. Oh, but then I look at this number and it's not as good as I wanted to be. So therefore, I'm not as excited about anymore or vice versa. This video was not

funny or like, not anything special. Well, it got too, it went viral. Look how good we are. It's like, I didn't even love it. We weren't like laughing a ton when we shot that. I'm kind of embarrassed that my wife's friend from college saw this video like, you know, like it's like dang like that one, you know, so it's like there's something about like, yeah. Yeah. See, people like it, but if they don't, I don't know. I'm also very guilty of the, of the not, like, I've made a plenty of like started on songs and just hated it and not like, I think partially why I'm actually putting it out is like, I think I've had practice, you know, over the years to like, uh, get to a point, but it's still very much

like, I don't know what I'm doing, but I'll just try. And I, I, yeah, I'm not saying you got to do every single idea you ever have. I just think, I think Jake's a great example of like, I got an idea. I'm going. I'm going to figure it out. And if it doesn't work out, great. Well, I'll stop. But like, you got to try. Like, no one else has done pickleball content. Let's just see what happens. I'm going. Yeah. If no one watches, then we'll just stop. Yeah. Okay. And of course, like, you got to calculate risk sometime because it's like, well, if it would it cost you 300 grand to start a pickleball company, it's like, yeah, maybe I should figure this out a little bit more. Yeah, Rachel, get another master's. Yeah, but it's like,

I got a Sony. It has all the right settings. Doesn't do it all. and up and down. Yeah. Just go film some stuff. Yeah, like, there's a reason I made this song in the middle of the night all the time. Like, it's like, I'm not gonna like, I'm not yet, I don't expect to make any money off this

or have like a return. So I'm just like, I'm not like taking the time that I could be working real work. But like, yeah, it'll be fun. I think you're a good spot. I mean, I've never made music or nothing about it. But what I always tell people who want to start YouTube channels is like, oh, the best part is when you're just starting out

because people don't expect anything. you know you can make your first eight videos should be eight very different styles of videos and make them for you make sure you're having fun and if even one of them takes off a little bit hopefully you enjoyed it the first time round and you don't mind doing more of that so yeah that's when you should have the most freedom once you're limited by your freedom you see a lot of people lose your creativity once they get a platform because then they're scared to take any chances yeah they just go with the formula they go with what works this is what works so I'm just gonna yeah the beginning is where it's very fun dress up like a woman every time Yeah, I looked it up. It's called perfectionistic. Perfectionistic. Pappamapak. Pah pahalal lollululululhu. Perfectionistic paralysis.

The belief that your creative work must fully match the ideal version in your head before it's safe to share. Perfectionistic paralysis. It's so well defined. Yeah. And I'm, we are more panachshed, panachianistic paralysis. I'm afraid to be too. flamboyant.

I'm trying to flail around and fail being flamboyant. I don't want to be a flailing failure. A flailing failure. A flailing failure. That's great, man. Yeah. So like once it's out, give me suggestions for the next genre to try.

Because like that's very much like, I want to try anything. See what happens. I'm excited to hear it. Will you send to me or will you play a preview? Oh, yeah, preview real quick. Preview real quick. Oh, I was going to say at the end of the episode,

but this is fun too. I can, come on. I put my headphones on. We'll see. Yeah. I'll just kind of randomly skip through it. Hold on. Please, Dad.

Please. I already have the Jayhawk. Give me this. Give me the jersey. That's $85. Give me the jersey I'll cry out of in a year. I got here. I got a lot of time with dreams and oh, I don't really know where that means because I know.

The place that dreams go. Now I've come home, I don't see you anywhere. That's it. Dude, funky. Sounds good. Funky, a little, yeah, I like that. A little jazzy pop. Any drums are just like, I downloaded like a million sound effects of random drum hits

and then I just like pasted them all together. Did you really? And like you just figure out tempo or can you download them at a certain tempo? There's some things like a random drum fill you can get like at 100 BPM that'll like go in there. But everything else is. just like sticking them in where it sounds good. I was like, how'd you do the drums? That was my immediate thought. I was like, because I know you didn't play. There's a lot of different drums in it. So what are you using? Garage band actually. I was like thinking about

going into like transferring it into logic and like doing some more fine tuning. But I like, it actually seems kind of fun to be like I made it all in garage band like the free driveway records. Yeah. Yeah. If you have a MacBook and you're an eight year old woman and you're not using garage band, why are you even having a MacBook? Exactly. That's what you get it for. Can I pee back? Yes. Yes. Fill up that urinal.

No. I also have a fun announcement on Friday. Coming. Coming soon. Kind of the same vein of all this stuff, like, scared and whatever. You know, just go for it. I think this is a big,

should we get a sound effect ready for this or something? Ooh. Timon. Hit the sound of. Hit the crickets, timing. What do you want? I can't even. Holy cow, my eyes are like bad.

More bad than usual. He's blinking a lot. I can always see what they're called. Don't you have contacts? I do. I need to get a new prescription, I think. Wow. Or you just got to sleep more.

You know what? Go ahead with the announcement. Time it might be high. You visit a crypto ATM. I really like addict pickleball. The announcement is, Pam, pan, pan, pam. I have been working on renovating a house for some time now since March.

And it's going on the market. It's on the market if you're listening to this right now. Hopefully it's under contract. That'd be amazing. Turns out it takes you out the market. Turns out it's going to be on the market for another 85 days because I didn't do a good job. No, talk about fear. But, yeah, I renovated a house and I put it on the market this Friday, October 31st,

which is two days ago since you're listening to this. Wow. Spooky. Yeah, dude. For Isaac's birthday. I did. I wanted to sell a house on Isaac's birthday. So big time, in the nice area of town, it's called Lee Wood.

in Ken City, if you're interested, check it out. It was a big project. It's been a fun project. I've learned a lot through it. And I don't know. I don't know what to say about it necessarily. It's just consumed a lot of my time and efforts. But I'm already excited, hopefully, if this one sells to be like, let's keep.

Run it back. Yeah, let's do this again. I can. It's one of those things where it's like, I think we're going to hopefully make profit on this one. But if we keep going, it's like, I know how to do this quicker and better and whatever. So it's only going to get way easier. Yeah.

Some of those times were bright out to step out for a phone call. That was Jose calling. Yeah, or like whatever the other day I was like, yeah, well, I said, let me make a text or whatever real quick because I text these Mexican dudes all the time about different things. And they always use, you could tell it's like they're translating it from Spanish into English. And so it's just hilarious, like the way it's translated. So sometimes I text them back the way they text me.

Thank you for making a text to me. Very panache. Very panache. but yeah we I mean we bought this house it's a it's a it's a it's a fine house it was a little ranch house and 2,000 square foot added 500 square feet to it but like basically like a feet to it uh yeah so yeah you just mix water in this stuff yeah I don't know it's like d'clock Roma's been doing it for a while no um you you take like the unfinished basement and like like yeah or you can add got to it but like obviously yeah so we took there were two rooms in the

basement that were storage. We added them, made them bedrooms. So, um, but yeah, I mean, we basically renovated every single thing about it. And so learned a lot. That's such an impressive endeavor. I feel like that's cool. Well, it's one of those things, just like anything where like there was a long time, maybe not a long time, maybe since October, November of last year where I was like, that's a fun idea. Maybe I should look into this. And then it was like, let me, let me numb this itch. Let me like make myself feel like I'm getting closer to doing this by watching videos of other people doing it. And it's like, yeah, it's not the same.

It's not, it's not the same to whatever, like have this fake. It's not the same to jump out of an airplane on a video game versus jumping out of the airplane in real life. You know, like, yeah, you might get a cheap thrill from this video game, but it's like, it's not the same. So it's like, yeah, eventually I was just like, I'm just going to jump in and do this thing. And we've had some issues along the way.

We actually like, when you get, when you do all this stuff, sometimes the way you reconfigure stuff, you need permits. And I did not get all the permits I needed. And the city came by and was like, hey, you got to get permits. And it was like, okay, how do I do that? Yeah, was it Peter like, oh, dude, you're going to need permits for this. You're like, dude, come on, we'll be fine. It's not, it's not that crazy. It's Lee Hood. Right. And then, uh, some nosy neighbors looked me up and said, they don't have all their permits. That sucks. That's so annoying. Oh, it was terrible. I mean, and so I, we were stalled for like three months for that. And so anyway, paid a ton more money for that, you know, whatever. But it's still, it's working out. And, um, I'm proud of it. I think it looks

good. And I think it's, it's kind of crazy. I remember bringing my parents there shortly after we had started construction. I mean, it was just like there was net. I crud everywhere, dust everywhere. The walls were littered. Like the ceilings were like, torn out and. Oh, yeah, they're stuck it around. I just like, I think my dad was just like, I think he said something like, I'll be honest, Brad. I was, I was a little bit overwhelmed. I left your house the other day, you know. Because, like, you know, that was the first time. I had seen steps into the process where he just was like, whoa, well, this is, this is never going to. You knew what you're getting into.

The house is going to look terrible for a month. You know, you knew, but at the same time, it was like, I hope it looks good. And then I was on, like, just the other day, we had stagers come in and put furniture in there. And all of a sudden, it was like, holy cow. Like, this is awesome. Yeah, invite the parents back now. Like a week ago, even, it was like, yeah, it looks pretty good. Now it's like, oh, this looks like a nice house.

So what's the worst stage in the process? of renovating a house? I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know. Honestly, it was all pretty fun. The stage where the city comes and shuts you down kind of sucks.

For three months. Yeah. I wasn't happy about that when Jose calls me, we have a big problem. I'm like, we need to make a solution. The city come by and say, we know more work. I'm like, oh, no, dude.

um what's the worst stage i don't know man i really have enjoyed all of it i was kind of telling you earlier like it's fun like there's there's there's i think i have multiple you know sides of my brain that i i really enjoy like the budget analytical like hey we got to keep on budget we have to you know somewhat somewhat like track all this stuff i have an excel spreadsheet with every single thing yeah yeah like manage all the finances and make sure I'm doing all the things the right way, but also there's the creativity side of it of like, what is going to sell this house? Like, what's going to make this house go from like, hey, this is really structurally sound. Of course, that's good. But like, people don't really,

I mean, they care about that. They don't want it to fall down on them. But like, they don't walk into a house and have an emotion based on how perfect this wall is. They're like, I, I see that one really beautiful fireplace. And I'm like, that's what I, you know, whatever. So how do you, And so then how do you find the balance of like, okay, make it look nice, but don't make it costs. Of course, you can find every single price range of all these different things. So anyway, so that's been a really fun thing of like using the creative, artistic desire in me, but also making sure it's like, we got to make money on this too. So yeah.

And so, yeah, it's just been really fun. And see, I don't know if it's really, there's been a huge negative part of the process. Yeah, I guess I didn't love landscaping stuff. but I'm learning. I'm learning about stuff. Okay. It just doesn't, it wasn't super exciting, but then once they, like,

installed some of the landscaping and like, or whatever, you know, put down bulge, all of a sudden it was like, holy cow, this looks a million times better. So if you ever need, like,

yeah, if you ever need to your house to just look nicer, just buy some new bulge and maybe a few new bushes or something. Hmm. But anyway, yeah, I'm excited about it.

Hopefully it sells well. My friend Tate's been kind of my right-hand man helping me out along along the way because he's done some in the past. So you've probably heard me talk about hanging out with Tate a few times because I'm like always talking to him about stuff. That is pretty cool. Anyway, so yeah, I'm excited. It's like a nervous, like energy, anxiousness. Yeah, tomorrow when we're recording this. Yeah. You flip the switch. Yeah. Yeah. And okay, so I posted on,

I will post on Facebook, uh, the Zillow link because I would love for the ghosties to go and like save and like favorite it so that it looks like. Oh, I want this. Well, there's a lot of demand for this one. So I'll post it on there. But if it's not sold yet, look up. And even if it is sold. You can look at pictures. It's 9-2-2-2-B-L-2-B-L-L-D-E-R, Belinder Road. So, check it out. Drive up that traffic, drive up the, you know, interest in it. If you want to buy it, that'd be cool, too. And that'd be really cool. And then buy it. Yeah. So you got the next one picked out or are you going to kind of like wait and like make sure this one sells first? I mean, yes, yes to both. I have the next one picked out. Okay. And compared to this one, it's like, I'm going to do that

in four days. Like, it's like, so, it seems so easy. Whereas before it was like, I don't know any step of this process. I don't understand. I don't know how any of this stuff works. And so I always said, like, if I make $30 on this thing, I'll consider it a win. And of course, along the way, I'm like, I want to make more. I want to get my money back.

But it's been a decent amount of time over there. But, yeah, hopefully, hopefully this next one will be super easy. But anyway. That's fun. Yeah. Just a nice little career switch. yeah yeah career add-on kind of thing like it's like I don't I still want to do woodworking I still obviously love podcasting but it's like I had I had some cushion and I was like I want to do something else

and I love the idea of making it something I can integrate my family into like I try to get my kids involved with woodworking stuff some we can't really get the kids involved in this business at all and so it's like but they've been able to come with me to the house and see how things are done to help me, you know, in small ways. And I feel like as they grow older, it's like, if eventually we own some of these houses and rent them out and we have 15 of them and Bo, you want to manage that side of things and how do you want to do the finances, you know, like make it a family thing.

So we'll see. But the Ellis Empire. Yeah. That's right. So anyway, thanks in advance for the ghosty support. I just know they'll say nice things. So thanks. That was a fun, big announcement.

It would have been the same without time and sound effect. So I'm glad we had that. A p p pampi-p-p-p-p-p-air! Yeah! Fun times. That was fun. Yeah. It's fun, even just for me,

for you get to tell people now. Yeah, I know. People were so, like, whatever about Henry, not telling, is I'm like, or are you going to be like, Brad just doesn't tell us every single thing about us. Don't be mad at me. I think there's part of me as just like,

I don't, even now, like, before it's sold, I'm like, I don't know. I'm kind of nervous to tell. you know yeah because it could uh fail so to speak or you know correct just like selling it for way less than you want to do yeah or like yeah i don't know so we'll see so yeah go run it up 92 22 22 bellender come on that's that's that's my big big announcement my big thing do you have like a sample file or like a little preview yeah put uh put all the pictures don't even put our faces on the rest of the episode just put pictures of right through actually maybe it's a montage with

Yeah. They need to do this. Yeah. That's really cool, man. Hey, thanks. You guys got a review of the week. Do you want to tell, me a little bit about, I can look at, I can look at one time and I don't have, I don't have a

single jingle. That's okay. Get ready. I've got some, I feel like at some point someone was going to write a one, write one to Waffle House. And I'm still like that, I love that song. Hey, we're on reviews of the week right now, guys. Let's not, let's not put the jingle ahead of the horse here. Okay. Let's be honest, I don't know Waffle House. So, I don't, I don't understand that reference. Uh, Jonas Brothers song. Oh, yeah. Kemp's a lot loves it. So if anyone wants to, No, I don't, no pressure. No, no new reviews. Let's go back to an old one, huh?

Huh? It's just all the energy has shifted to Spotify comments. I feel like. Yeah, they really are. There's like 50 Spotify comments. Really? I haven't.

Um, so this one's a little interesting. Jesse Platner. Got a lot of reactions, though. I really want to see Brad, Jake, and Tyman all crawl under the podcast table. Please, I'm begging you. Crawl under that table.

That's it. I don't want to but it's good to know where the demand lies okay just that's good to know that you want that well he wants it at some point I could produce one from under that

like I could just switch cameras and be just like it cross-legged under there the whole time wouldn't have to switch cameras actually because we'd all be in one we could make a tent you could make a tent do it like with a flashlights on

okay great I love sitting on the floor so that'd be great I don't have a review I mean I'll read Oh, that's too long for one. That's what we probably read before.

How do I look at, you can't look at very old reviews anymore, can you? Huh. The cream of the crops on Spotify these days. Wow. So many comments. YouTube commenters are offended. Sorry.

I didn't mean that. I meant the quantity of the crop. Truly. That's what the cream is. It's kind of what I mean. The quantity of the crop is on Spotify now. The quant of the crop. Yep.

Quant of the crop. No, I think... Here's your review. You want to read this one? I got one for you. Okay. From Emily there, stop. All right, Emily, uh, Priestley, number three.

Gosh, your font. I know that people probably say that every single time they... Too small? It's just... Yes, it's, I don't know if it's too small. It is unbelievably small. Time I couldn't see it. That's right how I keep him from reading my text.

Let's see if I can read it from here. I'm a sophomore in college and I stumbled into this podcast a few months ago when I was hitting a pretty intense moment in my academic career. Last week, I went through a pretty painful breakup, and I am so thankful for this podcast to both get me through that ugly time, but also to show me how two godly men talk about and respect their wives. I can see beautiful things happening for the kingdom of God in this podcast. Keep up the good work. That's awesome, Emily. Have we done a jingle to beautiful things? I don't think so. Gunger? Yeah, by Gunger.

I don't know why that tickle me so much. My own joke. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. like hunger. So one kind of drawn on the jingle, we had another Spotify episode just deleted. So we're kind of at a fork in the road. Enjoy the jingles while you can. Yeah, what do we do about this? We either start bringing in Brad the

guitar and just doing them all unplugged or do you think we got it removed because of the jingle song? I never saw an email this time, but I assume it's got it because of that. I mean, I saw that our dispute was unresolved the first time. See? Nice

nice try peeling it too bad okay I don't know if that is though because don't we we do jingles obviously on the even episodes the Monday episodes and we got 4801 you're right but the odd episodes are the ones getting removed

what the first one was that the first one was we know what it was that copyright thing yeah but what was in the we're just recent Wednesday there's bad boys I will say Brandon Faulkner texted me and he was like hey

your way around all this copyright free stuff is just just use, he's like, use Suno, use this AI music generator, and that way you don't have to worry, like it's, the song just became, you know, but I don't like it. People can't write us a song to something that already exist. And it's just not, I don't know, it's not the same, it's all fake. How do we, so, so you want to just go Acapel for everything from, like, so do Pink Pony Club again, but just do it Acapella and I'm sure it'll sound awesome. Didn't we get a jingle sent to us? Maybe. all right let me try to find it

I don't know you look it up dude I'm looking I'm looking yeah like from now on it's just beatboxing and someone's singing we just we just switch off yeah here we go you'll take it out of you man do you know dear theodosha

from Hamilton I do all right let me forward this to you Brad sorry I didn't ask you do you know dear theodosha by Hamilton I am dear theodosha like that yep it's a

I think. I'll still send it your way. This is from Matthew Grabber. We like... I never read Graber. I was like... This is from Little Kid Grabber. I mean...

This is from Little Grabber. He's a rapper. He's a rapper. So, I don't know. The actual song is, Dear Theodosha, this is titled Dear Midge, Jr. Is that even... I don't even get it.

This is Dear... future kid. Actually, that makes sense. Because that's what he's singing about in his song in Hamilton. Okay. Okay. It's a initial streakhead for a grabber.

I hope that I can remember the song as well as I think I do. We'll see what happens. All right, here we go. Dear Mitch Jr., what to say to you. You have my voice You have your mother's ring When you came into my mind You cried

And it broke my heart I'm dedicating every song to you Schizophrenia Was never my style When you smile You knock me out I fall apart And I thought I was so

smart who will come of age with imagination I'll think and fight for you I'll make it right for you if I have a strong imagination I'll pass it on to you

I'll give the world to you and you'll pay us all the way Sunday Sunday yeah your powers all the way Someday, someday. Oh, Mitch, when you sing, I am undone. My son.

Look at my son. Boy is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now. Oh, Mitch, you outshine. morning son my son when you sing i fall apart and i thought i was so smart your mother isn't around i swear that i'll be around for you i'll do whatever it takes i'll make a new I'll make my brain safe sound for you

come in the age imagination I'll think it lie for you I'll pick it right for you if I have a strong imagination I'll pass it on to you I'll give the world to you when you'll blow us all the way

someday someday Yeah, you'll blow us all away. Sunday, Sunday. Yeah, you'll blow us all away. That was Dear Major Jr. By Tyman Grabber. Wow.

Thank you, Matt. Thanks, Matt. That was a fun song. I don't think I've ever heard it. It's a good song. I like that Midge Jr. was a boy. Yeah. Yeah.

Shouldn't have assumed anything else. Don't you dare. I don't know why I was. Yeah, I caught off guard by that. Yeah, that was one of those like, I was kind of funny, but it was more just like, that was nice to listen to it.

That was nice. Yeah, that was a pretty song. I like that one. I think Hamilton's worth listening to, even if you don't care. You know what I mean? It's just good. You're not like,

I love hip hop in history. It's a good song. songs. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good story. That's cool, ma'am. Just my hot take. Not many people... F.I. I think Hamilton's good. I think, yeah, people, like, Hamilton is like pretty good. It should be acclaimed, I think. I think check out Titanic. I think Triresa's peanut butter cup. I do watch a little Hamilton. And I... Bironi on your pizzas, not bad. Don't come at me for saying that.

Yankees have a good chance next year. Awesome. All right. One more episode with Timon. Until he leaves from Mississippi to shoot his fancy little sci-fi robot movie. Oh, Wednesday.

Let's talk about some robots. Whoa. Wednesday, let's talk robots. Love you guys. Have a good week. I love you guys. Thank you. You got the place to go.

Can you take me there? Take me back to the place where I'm going. Thank you.
