D D D D D D D D D D D Yeah Running back I'm running back to you Cause Yeah That's fun Dude

It is fun You do it now You do it now I can't remember the word. Got no place to go. That part's a little Justin Timberlake to me. Ooh. A little J.T.

Cool. Play it where I. Yeah, anyway. I got in the Facebook group, like a couple days ago, someone compared it to Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh. Which is insane. Uh-huh.

But in honor. But maybe just like from, you know, whoa, all these different emotions. Yeah. It's not because of like, I think it's just because it's so random and like a progression or whatever. Okay.

But I'll take it as, it's as good as Bohemianian. like the best of the same one of like the iconic songs of our generation yep our life um there was one time i tried to do bohemian rapist as a jingle it was while jake while we were recording at jake's parents house while jake was going to get ready for a wedding that he was running late too and so we were like we got to do this fast i was like so we'll just do it at two x speed or something like that it was the worst idea ever i don't think and of course your mom's like five feet away, probably listening, like, this is what my son is doing these days. I bet she had a blast.

That was a masticholi thing, too. Oh, yeah, good times. Pasta chili. I don't think I should eat pasta chili on the road. I don't know what that is. Pasta chili, no thank you almost on Pasta chili. It sounds like skyline from Cincinnati Pasta chili. Anyway, I have a funny story. It's pretty short, but pretty funny. Go ahead. My wife, Catherine, she is wonderful, but also would not consider her the most athletic gal not the most she likes to walk and she loves to walk like truly like that's like but she's never been a runner but every once in a while she'll just come back and be like yeah i ran a little bit down the road on my walk like okay she said last night uh i listened to a song with the kids on the way to price drop her as grocery store and i thought maybe it's a little bit too

rocking for them you know but they were really enjoying it and then uh came up again uh on my walk and I just, I just had to run. I had to run to it. And so, that's awesome. So I'm gonna, yeah. And she's like, I ran the whole song. I was like, that's amazing. And I think it was like right past your house.

Like, oh, I wish I could have seen that. I know, right? Especially because like she's, I mean, she's, she's not in like running, I mean, not in like terrible running gear, but like she's in like her like kind of puffy jacket from Patagonia. Like she's not in like these like running gloves, you know. I need to see Catherine run. I bet she would have long strides.

I've just never seen them. Yeah, I think in a different life, if she would have, like, been pushed to play sports, I think she would have been, she's like naturally, decently athletic, but like just never really done much stuff. But anyway, I'm going to try to give you a few prompts. I said that there was kind of a rocking out song. And she said, it's a back in the day song. Can you back in the day is in like our generation back. Family Force Five. No, but think that way.

Hawke Nelson. Skillet. No. You get your, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're. You're circling. What else is there? Reliying K. No.

Oh my gosh. I'm right there. You're right there. This is like one of the best songs of, in my opinion, one of the best songs of our childhood generation. Is this? In that genre of. It's not Reli-K. So it's like it's more rock rock than like.

I'm calling it rock. Cutless. Okay. Because I like just discovered two days ago, Speechless album by Stephen Curtis Chapman. Oh, yeah. The first four songs are like amazing. I doubt it's that.

Really? Not that rock. I love this song. Okay. cool like um i'm like who why no one tell me about this is this him in the turtleneck yeah yeah i had this uh oh yeah here it is that dive yeah i had this uh on cd dude dude this is my first concert was that album that's so funny you just discovered that yeah so shout out to janelbeniel she recommended that to me dude dude steven kirst chapman can play that guitar dude dude he's he's

he's a like an unbelievable like to this day he can just like because steven kers chapman dude like so much of CCM Christian contemporary music like shifted from like Stephen Curris Chapman days where it was like song like truce like not ballads but kind of like yeah not the traditional just whatever you know 541 court whatever because now it's just like GCD like more like worshipful like yeah sing this song corporately but back in the day it was like these like stories and yeah it it's it's like song songs right yeah it was so you know about mark shultz huh when you said stories. Yeah.

That guy could tell some stories. I'll bring you to tears. Charlie Brown guy. Yeah. Yeah. Wait. No, that's Charles Schult. No, I know, but now I'm thinking, I think my second grade teacher is named Mark Schultz.

I just not put that together. He did tell some great stories. Arthur was awesome. Baird State Bears was decent? What was his first name? I'm pretty sure Mark Schultz is the name of the musician. Maybe it's both. No, I think you're right.

I would say, so he didn't do Christmas shoes, but it's like, but he's got a whole album of Christmas shoes. Letters from war. Look out. Look out if you're listening to that on Veterans Day. That one's a tearjerker. There's a couple other, man, there's some good ones. If I ever wrote music, I would want to write stories like that. He's really good at it. All right, back to the guess. Casting Crowns.

Rockier. Sanctus Real. I love those guys. I would say more popular than those guys. Super Chick. Oh, I wish. If Catherine was running down the street to Super Chick. You know Super Chicks' drummers from a lateh of Kansas?

big old black dude just went nuts in a pink shirt just pop pop I thought it was all chicks I don't think so I think just one chick one super chick one super chick I think so and there no one was transitioning or anything it was like it was one girl a whole time mm-hmm it was legit no no they looked into it she's had a cool haircut okay um why can I not get this I could play literally one second of this song, and I think you would know it. All right. Try me then. I'll play two notes of it right now in my mouth.

Dona. Oh. Oh, switch foot. Yeah. Yeah. You know that song? It's meant to live? Don, no, not.

You get a good job playing the song. The dena, that's in the left ear and then the is in the right ear. Yep. So can you imagine, Catherine, just being like, I got to, I got to run. What song was it? choice. It was meant to live. Yeah. I mean, it is a great song when I was like 13. Oh, yeah. It does a get better than this. It's 25 years

old. That album's 25. Wow. So, I can just imagine Catherine running down. We were more than this world's everything inside screams for second light. Yeah.

Just going nuts, dude. So anyway, I just loved imagining her like, this is my I can't not. I have to. It's funny that that song was like, oh, I have to run to this one.

Right. Because it's pretty slow for 50 seconds probably. We were more. And you're like, okay. Okay, just get to the course. Yeah,

so good. Switch foot. I think it was like one of those times where it like came on without her prompting it too. So therefore it's like. DJX maybe? Maybe.

I've been DJX in a lot. He does the same thing a lot for me. He's always, let's start it out with this one from 2020. Drew Holcomb and the neighbors getting it off right. Yeah, he doesn't get creative as often as I want him to. It feels like it takes him two hours to get creative.

Yeah. It's like, let's listen to some of your favorites. Starting now with Ghostrunner's tight beats. I'm like, dang it. I got to listen to Timing on the dentist. Anyway. How many plays that's up to? Time and verse himself. My kids have half of them. Running home's got 4,300.

Ghostrunner's tight beats. Let's see. Mouse in the House has $5,000. Wow. Dang. If anybody... I haven't seen a dime. If anyone gets my Spotify for artists, like, video, let me know.

Okay. I recorded one, like, the first day I was in Mississippi. It was like, make a video for your fans. I was like, there's no way anyone's going to... But now I'm like, maybe some people will... You'd be surprised me. They're top. Who do you think it's going to be?

Who has said they've been listening a lot? I can't remember any... I can't remember names. Maybe Abby somebody. Okay. Maybe Abby. Maybe Abby somebody. Yeah.

Yeah. Could be. That's fun. Thank you. Ban-da-da-da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d. Jeff Moore claimed that Need to Breathe wouldn't be a band without Switchfoot first. You know, like, Switchfoot ran. They're like paved the genre.

You could run. Jeff would probably know. I listened to them, but in my head, I was like, okay. They're not the exact same. I haven't listened to them that much of either, but I don't think they're that similar. are they and maybe it's just like a oh they wouldn't be that popular if switchfoot didn't pave the way for this i don't know huh i don't think they're that similar either i think need to get a little more country yeah to them i would be intrigued to know how need to breathe

you know they used to open now i'm saying this out of that sounds insane but they used to open for taylor swift i think that really had to help the career so whatever got them onto that stage is probably what paved the way for them that helped yeah that'll do it anyway that was switchfoot yeah that's right. They did like a, yeah, they, like, kind of recently. Like, it wasn't like at the beginning of their career, I don't think. Maybe it was like recent, like six years ago now. Time's kind of flying, but at her 2011 speak now world tour. 2011, it's like six and a half years time. You should have known. You're trying to guess it. Yeah. A year. Tells those, so it's 2020, 2020 right now. The band was handpicked by Swift. Handpicked. Huh. And so.

Taylor Swift was in Switchfoot. Wait, Switchfoot or... Oh, oh, oh. Really? I mean, if we want to believe Jeff and also believe the internet. They should put that on her website. Go ahead.

They should put that on the band's website. Handpicked by Swift. Handpicked by Swift. That's good. According to the band members, Swift's work... Frick, dude. All right, I'll go.

I'll go. Just take over. Really mediocre life update for me. I'm going to try hard to just say it. I'm officially like in love with I'm ready to say and I know this is like the most duh statement but I'm rated wait let's try to guess you're in love with something we're like duh but I think I really in love with it I think I love it more than most people but it is it is modern thermostats close but not at all um water filters I'd say it's

one of the most universally love things in America heated seats no that's a good guess it's so much more basic than that guys the calculator app close no i'm here to say it i know it's dull but i'm in love with contact lenses nope lasic that's right i've never seen you put contact sense that makes sense uh i'm in love with power strips uh yeah all right what is it uh pizza i think i like like i think i have like a decent amount of self-control if i have to But I think with the right pizza, I can't, I can't stop, dude. It's, I love it. And I think, I don't think I ever recognize how much I think pizza is so good.

Yeah. So, yeah. It's not, it's not earth-shattering news to anybody, but you guys were fumbling over your words, so I had to save it somehow. Yeah, yeah. No, thank you. So, yeah. I just really like pizza.

I'm saying that. I just, there's something about it. It's just like, holy cow. I could eat that whole thing every time. Favorite place that sells that? stuff. Minsky's, probably. Or Dewey's, if you've heard of Dewey's in Kins City. Did you leave a glass here that says Dewey's pizza?

I did. I suppose. It's my glass. It's my nitro glass. Yeah, Rachel, I were very confused. It's like, what is Dewey's pizza? I know what I thought it was yours said. I've never heard of it. Yeah, Dewey's pizza. I think it's a St. Louis brand though, so. I was just there. Layover. Layover.

Layover. Dewey's. That's where we told my parents we were pregnant with Hattie. Wow. We got that mug. Got that glass. so it's kind of fun. Dude decimals. Love pizza, dude.

That pizza that we had, did you have it? Sorry if you didn't have this in Colorado. When was I in Colorado? Vail. Oh, yeah, it was good. It was a long time ago. Detroit-style pizza.

Yeah, it was good. It was nuts. I was like, this is unbelievable. Dude, I, in the past, like, year, barbecue chicken or like that, that realm of pizza is maybe the best thing in the... Oh, pizza, barbecue, drinking pizza?

Yeah. Okay. Well, I think that's, like, what I'm thinking of. Are you thinking of, like, yeah, barbecue, not buffalo? Correct. Okay. It's like, in Ohio, we would get Park Street pizza, and we get the barbecue chicken. It's like, when it's, like, kind of a basic pizza, but the barbecue sauce?

Yeah. It's, like, kind of thin crust. Yeah. So good. They ever throw any cilantro on there? I don't know, maybe. I don't mind the cilantro. I don't like the onions on there.

Oh, yeah. one because of the taste somewhat but also like I can eat like all right I'm gonna pick out my bite I'm gonna get these little strips of chicken great well now I got half an onion and now I got you know now I've pulled off more than I wanted to yeah the onion is bigger than one bite

I like the onions I don't like that I was gonna say what you're describing sounds unbelievable I think it's a beautiful symphony of ingredients yeah Minsky's has Thai chicken pizza and it's one of my favorites so good spicy tie so good man anyway so pizza is probably what yeah you could take that

down more than anything. I think I think I can take down quite a few things, but I think I have the hardest time not taking down pizza if that makes sense. Like I like I can't just have two pieces. It's like if it's there, if there's more, I'm coming back. Yeah. Whereas like a burger. Yeah, I can have two burgers, but like I'm usually content with one.

Tacos. Oh, those were great. Thank you. Pizza though. Get out of my way. Watch out. I think my version of that would be. Pastries.

Okay. Man, I love pastries. Really? And for most of this year, I've done a good job not eating them. But they are like, if all bets are off, if I'm 25 again, that is what I would have more than anything in the world. Do you have a specific? Doesn't really matter. Okay.

Just any of it. Just butter roll, cherry Danish, chocolate croissant, blueberry muffin. I want anything, anything that's got cinnamon. Cinnamon rolls. Coffee cake. Coffee cake. Yeah. Coffee cake is unbelievable.

Unbelievable, dude. Yeah. It's so good. Coffee cake's one of the best things. in the world. I think so. Just so good. Yeah.

I think, yeah, that's going to be a tough part if Rachel and I go through with this, no treats next year. No pastries for a year, dude. Yeah. I would never do that to myself.

I don't think. Life is too good. Maybe once I'm past 29. Live it up. Threshold, yeah. Yeah. Have that intervention. Well, you can, brother.

With Midge. Yeah, talk to Midge. See what she would think of it. Yeah. Anyway, I love pizza. All right. You love pizza. timing you got anything like that that's just like i don't know one thing that's just like harder

for you than anything else to just be like i can't i can't not have i mean ice cream's right up there for me too yeah but ice cream it's like kind of hard to get seconds or thirds without everyone noticing like oh go back to the kid like it's a it's a process to scoop out that ice cream you know i mean yeah there's these is this like a just a failing thing or do you know what davy crockett bars are no idea no okay no guess let's i don't know they're just deep I think it's just a silly name for a type of bar, but it's like kind of like chocolate chip cookies

in bar form, but better somehow. Bar form? Yeah, like if it was puke. They're kind of orangish butterscotch and them. That sounds fun. Yeah, they're just like amazing. I guess it can't be that relatable, but it's like these specific bars, if there's ever like a pan

out or whatever, I can't stop going to back to it. Yeah, it sounds nice to. Do we think the internet's going to know about this? I don't have high hopes. I say it's going to know something about it, but it's not the same thing. It's my guess. I'm not looking up too.

Yeah, it's on the internet. It looks pretty much like a chocolate chip cookie, but a square instead of a circle. Honestly, though, like, like, they're great. Chocolate chip cookie pizza. Oh, yeah. Those things are nuts.

And for whatever, it's just a chocolate chip cookie, but when it's in that form, I don't know. There's something about it. Desert pizza's awesome. Does the shape of food make a difference? It's got to a little bit.

But the Reese's egg, the Reese's Christmas tree. Good point. The Reese's egg is nut. So is that Christmas tree. Yeah. Like, I feel like a chocolate chip cookie in a triangle, taste better. Have we tried making a pie in a different shape?

That would be interesting. Square pie. That's like a cobbler, ish. Yeah. Not quite, though. Yeah. I like them both. I'll take them both.

Have you guys had those things that are like little balls with, like cold. I don't know how to describe them. Here we go. It's like a marbles. Light colored outside, but it's like cold, like creamy,

almost ice cream inside. Oh. What? I've had, you're talking about like white chocolate on the outside maybe? No, no.

It's like, oh, what is the outside? The outside kind of just feels like it was dough, but. Oh, the outside's dough.

I don't know how to describe this. I don't know how to describe this, but it's like, not white, but like, I think I give up. They're really good, though. Have you had those Oreo balls, I think, is what, like, white chocolate outside, just, like, soft, whatever that is on the inside.

Oreo balls. Slap. I mean, different. That's one of those things where you wonder, like, do I need to be healthier or do I need to let this take me so I can go meet my maker? I think so. This seems like a win-win. Yeah. I get to die earlier and eat the Oreo balls.

Yeah. Great. There's certain things that's like, I know this is bad for me. and I feel bad, I shouldn't eat, be eating this. And there's other things like, I guarantee you that thing's worse for me. Who cares? Just go for it. Like those Oriole balls, I bet, are so high in calories compared to other things, that size.

Who cares? Yeah. I'll have 20. Yep. Gladly. You know, what's annoying right now for me. What? Is first real problems, since my phone is turned off right now, I can't get any texts to my

computer that are like one-time codes. really because those are all green you know yeah and like you can connect your phone to where it like pings your computer but when it's turned off so like there's a few times where it's like hey verify your identity to log in it's like can't do that sorry thanks i wouldn't have thought that sucks thanks man uh you know what else sucks is a lot of the meat in today's world honestly this is all part of yeah it is now yeah it was a long con to get to good rancher yeah yeah yeah yeah dude yeah yeah I'm gonna talk about a first world problem why don't I give you a first world solution okay and that's called doing it all in-house oh whose house uncle Sam's house oh yeah I'm talking about

American farmers American ranchers American vendors all the way through that's good ranchers dot com it's American meat delivered it's welcome to the table it's meat so good you won't taste the cabbage. That's right, dude. That's what we're saying. Honestly, that's not their official tagline, but it should be. We're working on it. Meat so good, you can't taste the cabbage. Meat so good, you want more vegetables. Yeah. Meat. Mmm, meat so good. Hmm. Or just six M's. Mmm, meat. I don't know. I don't know. I'll hate it. Take your pick. Figure it out. Hey, they proudly source everything,

grow everything, do everything in America. It's proudly born, proudly raised in America. There's no antibiotics, no added hormones. It's pasture-raised American meat. It's the best stuff.

Yeah, it's what you want to eat. Yes. It's guilt-free. Can I say I like everything from good ranchers? Yeah. I don't like everything in life. You want me to tell you some things I don't like?

That would help, I think, balance it out a little bit. Be stings. Honestly, waking up in the morning sometimes. Okay. Oh, yeah, wasps. Spiders. Spiders stings. Waking up in the morning with a spider on my face.

Yeah, okay, I think that... I'll be honest. Yeah. So I'm not just like one of those guys that's just happy, go, lucky, smell the flowers all the time. Okay? I don't like everything. You're not a guy who smells flowers all the time. I've always said, I haven't smelled a flower all day.

And little balls on the inside. No, white on the inside. No, white, it's like... Creamy on the inside. White, cold cream on the inside. Oh, you're talking about, um, uh, yes, those like puffy things. Yes, yes. Um, they like, oh, yeah.

Explode in your mouth. It's so good. Cream puffs. Yes, yes. What? Thank you. I like those. Cream puffs.

I don't know. Like a conund. No, cream puff. A cream puff. It's like this little like doughy thing with with cream in the middle of it. What about this word? Okay, it starts with profit and then letter E and then roll. Profite rolle.

I don't know that. Okay, it looks amazing. When I googled cream puffs, okay. Profit roole comes up. I don't know if it's, oh, it's French. I'm not a fan of the filled pastries like that too much. Like I don't like jelly filled donuts. Okay, when I look up cream puff, this doesn't because I am on your,

I kind of like those. I'm on your side with like the, in general, a lot of filled stuff. But when I look up cream puffs, it doesn't look quite like what I, oh really? I'm thinking of. Okay. It's almost like ice cream inside when I'm picturing what I'm, you know, because you're cold. Yeah. Cold cream puff.

Yeah. You know what I don't like. Ice cream in the inside remind me. Sometimes you go to like a shaved ice place. It's like, hey, we can make it, you know, animal style. You don't like that? Ice cream mixed with like sugary syrup is very strange to me. Catherine's the same way.

and I think she's crazy, but I guess maybe I'm the crazy. You love the dairy with, like, the snow cone syrup. Dairy! Incorporate dairy any way we can. Dairy's the best thing in the world. Yeah, throw a little dairy in Timmons' little marbles or whatever he was describing.

Yeah, like, Yetty's in a, or what are Swiss in Branson. You want it, Cade style, whatever his name is. Yeah, they throw, like, some ice cream, some soft serve on the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like them separate. Okay. But yeah, together, I mean, yeah, you got to.

have some sort of weird synesthesia to enjoy that. It's all green to me. Sonic does like a cream slush. Ever had that? Wouldn't like it. I think you might. It's like, because it's borderline like a,

like a milkshake, but just a little bit like you could choose whatever flavor you want in the slush. Yeah, but the flavors of milkshake are what, like cherry or grape? Yeah. And,

I think I get like a strawberry lime one or something. It's not that. crazy but anyway wow what else we want to talk about with food guys i saw a clip recently of like you know some one of those cooking shows don't know the difference in any of them but you know this guy is so nervous that he's shaking while he's cooking okay and i thought i bet people think the same way about me being nervous for a pickleball game sure but i can't imagine being nervous to cook what's there what could what just do it there's no variables what what do you mean I see. There's all kinds of variables.

Well, baking maybe, but cooking? I think there's, well, there's obviously variables. I'm picturing, but you're saying like, it's a high stakes competition. But you're saying like the variables are pretty fixed, which I made, does that make them not variable? Yeah, I guess. Just like it doesn't seem like people get nervous for a sport because they can't predict what the other person might do. You're reacting to them. But isn't that, uh, I don't know. I don't watch cooking shows either. But isn't it often like, here are your 20 ingredients, make something out of them.

And it's making it better than these three other people or something. Is that what it is? I've only seen chopped. I was going to say, I've only seen like once, like at a hotel. Like it was like, I don't know, let's watch this. Yeah, that's what it is. Then that's kind of fun. I'm glad they do it that way.

I was just thinking like, all right, make a burger. Tomato bisque. It's like, I'll just do what I've done a thousand times. Why am I nervous? There's no variables here. I just follow the recipe in my head. That's what I was imagining. That's, I get that.

What are you nervous about? You put the, you chop the, The carrots, you put them in the pan and you heat up the stove. You just got the shakes. Yeah. He's got shakes. Worry about it. That's why he's a chef and not a pickleball player.

So people will probably come from me. Yeah, I think I've only seen, only seen like the higher stakes, like competition shows. But I guess there are probably ones that are more like instructional or something. Like you don't see Martha Stewart like or whoever, like Rachel Ray be like, oh, chicken parms ready now. Yeah. But yeah, I guess if it's more like you have five minutes and we, We just surprised you with all this food,

make something amazing. Yeah, that's kind of fun. Dude, there's actually some, like, nostalgia with cooking shows because it was like, we'd go on vacation to Branson or something like that, and we don't have a TV at home and it was like all cooking shows that we'd watch. That's what you're like, this is nuts. Yeah, well, it was like, this TV.

It was like chopped guys grocery games was one. Like Guy's grocery games? Yeah. Okay. Cake Wars. Obviously. Obviously. There's one more I can't think of.

I don't know. It was fun, though. Or any of them, like borderline inappropriate? Beat Bobby Flay. Okay. And to make a better dish than Bobby Flay. Okay. I don't know if they were inappropriate.

I don't think so. I feel like sometimes those game shows every once in while. They just get stressed and they cuss or something. Yeah. Whoa, what was that bleak for? It might have been. I don't know. I was too young to understand.

I want to just take the kids probably not until January or February, but just like I want to have like an extended datter day sometime like Friday night into Saturday and just get a hotel in town and like go to the pool. Oh, and I just kind of the same idea of like, what are they going to watch on, like, what are they going to watch on TV that they've never, you know, got to experience before? Like, honestly, like the few times we've watched Bluey, which is like the most popular show ever, I feel like is at hotel rooms. It's a hotel show.

Yeah. I think everyone kind of has that. Like, for me, to catch a predator is something I've only seen in a hotel room. That's great. Like, I don't even know what channel it's ever on. You only ever find it without a TV guide by scrolling just one by one. and you go, oh, this is better in the other stuff.

Yeah, it's like ESPN was all the way up at 34. This is 21. I'm just going to stop here. Let's just see if it's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. I never saw that in hotels. Pretty good show.

Remember back in the day, hotel rooms had the video game system, but you had to pay for it. Oh, yeah. I kind of remember that. Or I remember, like, even bringing my PS2 in the TV never had the hookup you needed.

It wouldn't let you for a reason. Yeah, that was too bad. Like, going to my sister gymnastics me. I'm here. It's like, oh, yeah, you can bring a PS2. It's going to be a miserable. weekend for you and that didn't work yeah why why'd they do that to us it's like you had to bring your own tv too who is i is i talking to you guys recently i was telling someone recently about what it's like

to go to a little sister's gymnastics meet because it's it's one thing to like go to like i almost said rachel kately came to a lot of my baseball games but my friends had younger sisters and people to play with not only was there a lack of brothers but i'll tell you it's a form of Cruel and unusual punishment. My sister was very good at gymnastics, but not necessarily good to the point where they get to choose their own music for the floor routine. So every girl in the entire competition has to do the same floor routine to the same music. Oh. So for however long we were there, I don't know, six hours or so, you see the same like two minute song, essentially on loop over and over and over. Do you remember what songs, any of them? No, I'm sure it would send me into

the panic attack if I heard it again. That actually would be fun. Caitlin's going to be here this weekend. I should try and find that song. But yeah, I remember, I mean, I'm trying to get Toby Mac in my ears as loud as I can. Get it out, get it out. Get the, like, wrap around headphones. Yeah, the ones where the top of your ear would stick out of the stuff.

Remember that? Like, it cover here and here, and like the top of your ears were, like, exposed. Remember those headphones? Like, did they wrap around or were they? Yeah, they went around back. I love those, yeah. Those were pretty comfortable. They weren't, they're not bad.

That's crazy. Do you know the John Mullaney bit where he talks about what's new pussycat? Oh, yeah. Something out the jukebox, right? Yeah, like they just put what's new pussycat on, you know, seven times in a row. It just drives people crazy. And then they throw in one, you know, other song. Oh, it's over.

Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of what reminds me of when you're like, yeah, this is the same two minutes of a song. Oh, yeah. It's kind of like, it's a small world after all at Disney. Like, that's the whole idea of that. It's just like, by the time you're done with that, it's like, this is unbelievable. I passed out one time

at my sister gymnastics meet Yeah, it wasn't from the music Got too, got bored I, for one, I think the culprit was I was dehydrated But I was standing on a chair To see Zakiya style I was trying to watch my sister

Do the balance beam And locked my knees I was a victim of what they always Tell you not to do Wow. Really? I think that was it I don't know So you like fell to the floor

Yeah, I mean from a chair too I fell in some older ladies I guess And I just remember coming to and my dad had like a Reese's that he was trying to feed me. I think because his dad was diabetic. He's like, I guess this is the first sign. His blood sugar is clearly low. Let's get him a Reese's. You're shoving it in there. If it's not an egg or it's Christmas tree, I don't want it. Ah, the sides are pokey. Wow. No, thank you. But yeah, I think it was just dehydrated. You think you, is that, it happens that fast with the locking of the knees? Like, I guess I assumed

it was always like, don't lock your knees when you're standing up there for a long time. Maybe you were staying up for a long time. I don't know. I feel like it's like five minutes. Yeah, probably if the circumstances align and you lock your knees. And that song's like really going to trigger. Yeah, right. It's a hot. Just take me. I don't want to hear it anymore. Yeah, my body shut down. You come to you're like, dang it. That's how I felt actually when I passed out and I broke my wrist because I passed out

and then I came to and I was like, broke my wrist. Oh, my wrist is so bad. It's like, why did I do that? I thought maybe I'd be in a coma for a while. Yeah, I pass out twice right after it happened. Really? Yeah. It was crazy. I guess I didn't talk about that. Yeah, I like, I like passed out and then came to and was frustrated that I broke my wrist and passed out again, came to frustrated again. I was just like, why did I do that? Why did I do that? So I don't know if I've ever truly passed out? Like did you like, you don't remember a bit? It's one of the most like a lapse in time. One of the most insane experiences. Yeah. I don't recommend this at all, but like when I was younger, not that much younger. I would, uh, with friends like pass out on purpose.

Oh, you're one. I don't think it's smart. I feel like they talk about that on the news. Like, Tide pods are bad. Don't pass out on purpose. Yeah, probably not a good call. Right? But it is like a crazy experience.

Like, it's so weird. It's like you come alive for the first time and things like just flood back to you. Wow. It's weird. At least for me, I don't know. Yeah, definitely don't do that if you're listening at home. Yeah.

Justice, Caleb's son, don't do it. Don't try it. Alice. Alice, you know not to do that. Others, don't do it. Bo. Bo, man. And when I say it's like a crazy experience, it's like all bad.

Yeah, yeah. So not worth it. Crazy. Yeah. It's like eating cabbage without ragu beef. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, I've definitely like been like, whole, I'm getting lightheaded.

Yeah. But I don't think I've ever like gone unconscious. Have you had like when you stand up too fast and like gets like black and cloud? For sure. Yeah. That's like, I feel like, where you're almost there. Right. Yeah.

I've definitely, like, gotten close, but I don't think I've ever gone to the other side. Isaac and I played in another pickle turn. This one was just local this weekend. The ones that every month, the ones for money up here, the ones that we come in third place every time. And we, uh, yeah, if you come in third, you get like, it's like an embarrassing amount of money. It's like, we'll give you like $11.

37 bucks. Yeah. It's like, just take. Um, like a super specific number, not even like, like, like, he's like, lucky to his wallet this week it's 27 bucks there you go guys thanks for coming out but the first match of the day i mean we're like three points in so i'm not even sweaty yet i haven't exerted anything yet and i run to the net and the balls come back to me and i start seeing three pickle balls and then like my world like the horizon is going back and forth and i was like you whoa really

yeah and so i just briefly i told i was like well i got pretty dizzy at that point And then I just went and took a drink of water and just like chilled for a little bit Took another drink of water Played the rest of the day Won the tournament, made a thousand bucks Whoa! Did you really? Yeah So that's Isaac and I was joking. I was like

Why did we ever, we're done losing? Yeah. It was a good run. It was fun to lose But now we're world champs and now we did that We don't lose anymore. We're winners. I don't know why everyone else keeps losing Dude, just stopped doing it. It was very strange That's pretty exciting though. It was like the beginning of the day I got dizzy and then as I sweated and exerted myself

I just went away, so I'm fine now. I have been noticing in myself. I think I have some inner ear stuff is what it is for me. Yeah, the bread. The bread. The bread smell. No. I forgot about that.

That was wild. That's a great Google search. Yeah, that's right. I think it's like, no, it's like, especially when I have like a little bit of a cold, like I had a couple weeks ago. But like even now, it's like, I don't know, Every once in a while when I turn too quickly or something. Yeah, you're drunk.

You hear about like this, like, the older you get, the more it's like hard to ride roller coasters and stuff. Like, I feel like I'm starting to feel old every once in a while. Where it's just like, whoa, that was, that was a little off. So I wonder if it's like you just like turned your head too many times really quickly. Yeah, maybe, yeah, just the initial like, I'm playing a sport. I'm turning my head. My body's like, didn't know we were doing that yet.

Okay. Yeah. Huh. Like I want, I want to, I would love like the same way you did the Dexas scan. I want some kind of like nasal ear scan thing. It's like to figure out like, is there just stuff in my ears I just need to flush out and then I'll be fine?

Or is just part of being old? Honestly, I would love to. Yeah. Next time I'm, you know, just putter in Oklahoma City. Puttering. Yeah, that stuff could be fun, but it's also, uh, it's like picking your nose in public. So be careful.

Open it up. You don't know where to put that booger. Yeah. So. I had one time when I, was pretty young I was like with my mom taking my brother myelin to get surgery on his fingers because he had broken his fingers and I remember afterward like I was in the room when the surgery was happening like kind of watching it happen afterward I was like man that was like

a strange experience and it was so dark in there and she was like the lights were on the whole like it was bright the whole time she was like and I think that I was just like kind of feeling like lightheaded and like kind of because like watching the surgery I was like impacted Oh, really? It was like... Like, my memory of it was like it was dark and weird in there. What in the world, dude? You're like an ND filter on your brain. Yeah. I got it.

You hear about people that like pass out with blood and stuff. Yeah. You pass out of fingers. Yep. Only finger blood. Have you ever felt that? Like, you pass out? No, I've never been, at least not since then, like sensitive to that stuff. Could be remembering the story wrong, but I think that's what happened.

How old were you? Uh, I don't know. I was probably like 10. or something. Huh. Yeah. It was dark in there. I know.

She's like, no, why would they turn off the lights? They have, yeah, like night vision glasses. All right,

don't let the boy see. That is wild to think like, I bet they do surgeries when it's pretty dimly lit. There's a couple lamps in the corner.

Just hope they hope they're touching the right parts of your finger. It's so funny that to your mom. She's probably like, what in the world? What do you mean?

It's dark in there. He's passed out on purpose quite a few times. so I think he's just lost a few brain cells. Yeah, Tyman's over there. Huffin paint, got his hand around his neck. Man, it's dark as there. Oh, dude.

Anyway. Huh. Really. Interesting. This weekend got a lot of stuff going down. Parents are coming to town. Maybe Aunt Angie, maybe grandma, my sister and Brainer coming down for a baby shower. CEO Matt from Friday coming to Kent City for the first time.

Oh, yeah? I forgot last week after the podcast, Brad, now you're out. I don't know what we were working on, but, oh, we had a phone call. Yeah, good Rangers. Yeah. And as soon as that phone call is over, then Matt called me and kind of wanted to talk to Brad about some stuff. And so Brad talked to Matt, and anyway, you kept, like, acting like Matt

talking above his sunglasses. It was not a FaceTime call or anything, but just for me. Do you talk about Tyman? Yeah. That video, like, of them explaining their story. And every time you'd, like, look over and, like, make eye contact with Jake, he, like, wanted to make sure he could, like, see eyes out of his sunglasses. Like, hey, I'm looking at you.

And it was just so funny to me, like, just a funny quirky thing. We've given them such a hard time since then. Yeah, I mean, even just today, since we've been here texting, like, well, yesterday, I was like, Matt, what should we wear to these meetings on Friday? Yeah. Besides the sunglasses, of course. You know, it's, like, become a part. And then, you know, we're all going to be here this weekend.

And so we're like, Matt, you should get in some, like, let's film some ads together with you yeah take off the sunglasses yeah um so funny dude so he'll be around it's gonna be a crazy weekend wow yeah some other people were supposed to come into town put a pin in that bookmark we'll come back to that later um but one kind of funny thing and i know i've already mentioned teased this a little bit so basically we asked our manufacturer like we're really trying to crank out our next new paddle very quickly and so we designed 18 different types of paddles And 18 of them are currently on their way. It's actually kind of fun to update the track.

And it's like it was in China 36 hours ago. Then it was in Korea like yesterday. And then it was in Alaska. And then it just now got to Indianapolis. It's like, man, planes fast. Plan go fast. Real fast. So the stakes are, this is like all weekend long, we're going to be testing these.

We're going to have like a paddle testing party where we invite our friends to get like really just more of data and more people's opinions on stuff. Um, but if we don't love one of these 18 paddles, then we send Isaac to China. Yeah. Those are the stakes. So, I mean, just funny, just imagine Isaac being like, this one's great, right guys? I like this one. This one's real good. I thought I heard Kyle earlier saying that he likes this one.

He totally loves it. Yeah. Right? And Jonah, some other guys were saying I like to, oh, please. Please. Please don't let my parasite go home. Yeah. I think it's a good thing, though.

I think the parasite, if he goes. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we'll want to like release himself. Yeah, it's back. It was on a vacation. A little furlough. Yeah. Took a, took holiday.

Uh-huh. So those are the stakes, which would be pretty funny. All right. All right. I'm having a hard time figuring out new ways to say how great Mains Roasters is.

Well, why don't I do it with something that's on this table that can stick to my forehead? Okay. Two words. Mains. Oh, you want to do the words on that floor. Sorry, I don't know.

What did I put on here? Same performance. Crap. I was supposed to say hot coffee. Put another one on there. Okay. Hot coffee. Hot.

Complements. Coffee. What is it? Complements. Well, hey, we can still work with that. You know what? Compliments coffee. Coffee cake, coffee.

Yep. That's why they call it that. Yep. It's not because it tastes like coffee. It's because it compliments it. They do have flavored coffee. That might taste like coffee cake, though. Complements.

Do the... Yeah, let me do it. Do the free gift. Trust me, I have an idea. Two words. Hot. Free gifts. I can't read when it's on my forehead.

Dude, it's one of those things. It's tough to read with some sort of work. You look up there, you're like, please. Gosh, I dare to say I have no clue what it says. It says free gifts. Okay. Talk to me. If you go to Maintreutroasters.com slash s slash healing waters,

it does say free gift. You can give a free gift of 10% of your order towards healing waters and towards our fundraiser. Pay it forward. Right. We're raising money for Haiti and Healing Waters. Main Street Roosters has been so kind to say, hey, we'll give you some of that money right there, 10%. Yep. That's one-tenth of every dollar.

That's a dime. That's a free gift. Yep. Free gifts right there. Next. If you don't want to support them, you need to get a new grip. Dang it. Actually, it says, ew, grip.

You need to get a new grip. Because we probably asked you before to get a grip. Yeah. Well, that didn't work. Get a new grip. I think it's time to stock up. There's times in life where you need to drink more coffee. There's time where you need to drink less.

The wintertime where it's dark outside in the morning, it's easier to be tired. Ew. Grip. Yeah. Get a grip. Yep. So, Mastroasters.com slash S slash healing waters.

Please and thank you. Best coffee around. If we haven't talked about the product enough. It's the best. It's incredible coffee. I know I've teased it. And it feels okay to say now. even though I haven't clear it with them.

But Bondi is being sold to Ghosties. Emily and Isaac Brace are going to be the ones taking over, not necessarily the Kansas City jurisdiction, but taking my truck and all the supplies and everything with it, yada, yada, doing Bondi in Michigan. Okay. So, but they're not coming this weekend. No, originally they're supposed to.

And I start thinking about it's like, look, I'm a big deal now. I fly to Florida for in-person meetings. I have a pickle suit. Yeah, I'm a pickle suit guy. Yeah. I might be diabetic. I don't know. I got this reason.

And I was like, there's a million things going on and I was still trying to make it work. And pretty much everyone has told me don't try to make that work on top of it. Don't squeeze that in. Yeah. So I kind of shooed them away.

So they're not coming this weekend anymore. But they have signed the papers, not with me, but like with Bondi and Bailey. Like they are officially like licensees of Bondi. Awesome. So exciting. So that's fun.

So in Michigan. I don't remember exactly where they are. Holland, Michigan. Holland, Michigan. Yep. coming to a theater near you coming to a theater yep it's going to be indoors uh-huh stadium seating truck um that's awesome dude yeah they just wanted my truck for like some of the copper and some of the belts in there they're gonna totally deconstruct it free on i think is big for them uh so that's

awesome dude that's crazy yeah should be quite the weekend and yeah it's very hopefully it's a win-win for everyone i get my driveway back and recoup like 70% of the money i'm giving them a good deal on it I was like just you guys get a good deal and I yeah like I think I put like 55,000 into it and I was selling it to them for 40 great so whatever that math is yeah 70% something something close to it some close nearby yeah that's awesome man I'm excited so yeah hopefully it's just good for everybody hope it's hopefully it's a blessing to them like it's been a blessing to you you know that's I just want the same thing for them as I had myself no honestly it's a blessing that Friday was so successful that I couldn't, you know, shout out to Eric, the landlord

who I thought was the worst at the time for pulling the rug out from under me multiple times might have done me a favor. Truly. You don't think God maybe has a hand in our lives, do you? It was just Eric. Shout to Eric. Shout to Eric. Yeah. Yeah. Solely Eric. Yeah. That's awesome, though. Wow. Big, big weekend, but not with the braces. I will not be getting braces. I don't even know what I'm doing this weekend. I might be going to Branson tomorrow. Oh, that's right. I don't know. You want tested paddles if you don't?

Sure. I can't think of anyone who would be better. You need, like, all different levels. Kind of, though. Yeah. Do you like it? That's what's on the survey. It's going to be really, you need to have like a pallet cleanser or something.

Like, you know how like when you taste. I need to go play tennis. Come back. You need to have like, you need to like test a paddle and then go back to your original over and over again or something. Because like if you test 18 paddles. It's a little tough. Yeah, like back to back to back. Like, dude, I don't know.

I don't know. the difference in these things, you know, so, yeah, I don't know, maybe going to play golf in Branson, but I think it might be rainy the next couple days. And so kind of a... That's kind of a stinker. Well, we'll see. But if not, a little, I feel like I've been traveling more than I'm used to recently. So I'm like, I don't know if I really need to go do this. Got a lot of other stuff going on, but... And there's the threat of like the day you get your phone back, maybe leaving it in Branson again. Golly. You're right. That's what would make me nervous. Like, I can't go out of town. I might leave my phone.

there. I think I'm so much more responsible, ironically, when I don't have my kids around, like with that stuff. Oh, as you were saying, yeah, it's like you have more brain capacity to be responsible for other things. Yeah, it's like more obvious that I am missing something versus like there's a million other variables. I'm so responsible when my kids are around. It's crazy. Truly, though. Oh, you know it with a crinkle? I turn my mic off so you wouldn't hear the crinkle. Oh, wow. Jeez. This guy goes. on one movie set. It's nice.

I think people are going to, and I'm not saying we need to force it right now, but maybe people are going to miss time and not singing anything anymore if we don't end it with the jingle. Five, six. My mouth is eating.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought of it once they were six. You don't understand, I can't eat it like us. We need to find new ways. Yeah, to prop up the young boy. And we can maybe bring the guitar into it because we're not going to get copyrighted.

for that. Shouldn't, unless you play it too good. That'd be cool. That's my goal. It's kind of an honor, yeah. Just, yeah, no way, right? I could just, like, write and produce an original song every week and put it out on Spotify. Is that pretty easy?

Yeah. Okay. I mean, this last one took it. Forrest does it. Forrest does it all the time. So. Did you see he made a little YouTube video of how he makes a song in, like, was it 10 hours or something?

I watched it, yeah. It was like five hours. Jeez. Oh, so it can't be done. He made the song in five hours, or the video was him, like, live, doing it for five hours. The video is like 20 minutes long. Okay.

Cut down. Yeah. Over like five hours or something like that. Does he use like, what's it called? Fine. Kit. Yeah.

Yeah. Doesn't he use like samples a lot? Yeah, I think so. I think so. Where it's like not made from scratch. Like in this song that he made. This one didn't necessarily have samples,

but it was just like the most simple possible. Okay. I've ever heard. I feel like. Oh. So it was like. I've ever. I guess, well,

you can make that one in five hours. Yeah. I don't know, but I love him. Okay, can I say that? Before I say that my next thing? I love him too. Like, let's say the song Up

has that awesome, like, catchy horns thing. I think we've talked about this before. Have we? I think, but like, go on. That's probably a sample, though, right? Yeah, it's on Splice. Okay. I think like, Zane Callister found it one time.

I think I would, like, I think I would, I was going to say enjoy him more. I don't know. Respect him more. I don't even know what that's true. I would feel a different way if it was like he got 15 horns into the studio and like yeah did a version like that's what John Bellion would I was yeah like kind of old school like it's like old school new school kind of thing yeah and honestly you can't really tell

that much of a difference maybe I don't know yeah because the sample probably was that probably sure they probably had like a thing where they had a band and they made a bunch of little loops. But yeah. It's like getting a little subscription. A live orchestra is almost something you do now for the content of it and not for the music production. Yeah, because hardly anyone would actually do that, I feel like.

Yeah. Because you can make it sound pretty good. Right. Cody Frye, though, like stuff like that. Oh, yeah. It's always really cool. But it's also content. Yeah. I might be performing with Forrest in February, guys, so let's not. We love him. I didn't know. I love him more than you do, Tim. I'm going to say it.

I'm confident saying that. I love him. I think he's awesome. You loved him since episode two. It's right. Down in the basement. We have that in writing. Yeah, exactly.

I can prove to for us. Like, dude, I liked you when you were like pretty popular, but not that popular. Yeah. Like no one knew you. They just knew surfaces. It's true. I remember, like, right after that episode, surfaces had Sunday Best was on hard knocks. And so I was like, oh, great.

They're already so popular. Great. Great. Everyone watches hard knocks. You talked about doing a Black Friday deal for your house? Sure. Door buster. Oh my gosh.

Just take off the door. Yeah? Yeah. And that's why it's discounted. That's fun. You got to bring your own door. Dude, yeah, that's, I think I told you about this. Like, so many people, the issue is not the price for them.

Like, when they, when they, people, they're like, we're not going to exit surveys. Yeah, we're not going to move forward with this. Price was good. It just wasn't the right house for us. And it's like, but then I'm. like so tempted of like, well, let's just lower the price. But I don't know. If everyone says the price is okay. Yeah, the, the unfortunate thing is the more expensive the house, the pickier the buyer is going to be. Right. So yeah, it's not the price is scares and why they're already

in their budget. Right. It's just like, well, it's kind of wanted double vanity. We have that. We have we have that. We have that. Honestly, as I said it, I didn't even know that was a thing. Really? Just kind of threw two words. That's what, that's like a two sinks, right? Yeah. Oh. See, in my head, even when I said double vanity, I was thinking they were like separated. Oh, sure. You know, there's like a,

there's a tub in between or something. That'd be fun. I don't know. You'd be a great house house designer. I think I would. Tubble vanity. Tubble vanity. That's fun.

That's really fun. Double tub. Double tub. Dub tub. Whoa. Dub tub. Would you write? He's and hers.

That's not getting into the. tub discussion. That's, that's an intimate, intimate act. But just think about, think about doing a Black Friday deal. It's coming up in two days. Doorbuster. Okay. I do love this time of year. So like, because I'm doing the Airbnb, I'm like, oh, you're going to spend some money. Oh, yeah. On things that I should not like have yet, but it's like, well, we're like, I need to get a refrigerator sometime. That's a good point. Yeah, you, you might spend a lot of money. A few more TVs wouldn't hurt. That's true. Have you thought about a 10th TV? Have you ever, have you seen a TV on the ceiling, like he stared down at you?

Like you're at the dentist? TV on top of TV. His and hers. Should I do the thing where they do like, like, you can get four TVs? Yep, yep. All right. All right. Mega TV.

I saw Walmart had a 198 inch TV for $996. My friends just got a 98 incher. They did? Yeah, get a couple of those. That's, I don't think I have a wall that big. Floor. Do I do. No, don't.

You've heard of a glass bottom boat TV bottom floor Yeah so like I'm like writing down all the things I should buy Now all the things I should buy from you know Overseas that take a long time to get here But are so cheap shopping list Yeah all the things I'm gonna make I'm gonna make a bunch of stuff for it That's fun too make some beds make some tables

That's fun dude pretty cool It's really fun it's really fun What it should I do on Black Friday I wish I spent money on. I don't know, man. You have it all. You have it all, bro. I'll think of something.

But yeah, there is that weird impulse. It's like, I should do something on Black Friday. Everything's 25% off in the world. Is there something, and maybe we've already talked about this, sorry, if we have, but like something that you can't get enough of, like, different variation. My answer to that is coffee makers. Like, I would love to have every variation. Like, there was one.

Newer ones at the ranch. Yeah, this GE Cafe coffee maker. It was awesome. It was like, this is sweet. I think actually you guys have a cafe espresso maker. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I got it for Rachel. Yeah. This was like a coffee version kind of, it was like, I have a great coffee maker at home. I don't need this. I don't have any room for this. That's fun though.

It's fun to just have a new iterations of stuff. I would love, yeah, an espresso machine that's nicer, a coffee, a ninja coffee one that does like the personal, you know, cup,

I'm like, it's so silly, but I just love them. Like, is there anything like that? Yeah, that's a good, that's a fun, like, you know, yeah, question. Like, what are the things? It doesn't matter. Right. There for a while it was golf balls, especially when I was, not only was like golfing all the time, but I was sponsored.

So, like, every month, just like four boxes of golf balls. Yeah. Would show up. And that felt awesome. And still, I mean, I might have a lifetime supply if I don't end up golfing that much more the rest of my life. So that's kind of fun. If you stay good and you don't golf that much.

Yeah, if I played easy courses. So it's kind of funny thing about that. It's like, I may not need to buy any more golf balls the rest of my life. What else would, yeah, would I say? I can never get enough of. Hats is another one for me. You do love hats. You love kind of collecting hats.

Yeah. And I just go through seasons of like, this is my hat right now. Yeah. I want to wear this hat. This hat's just working. Then it goes away for a while and come back. But I could have, I could have a hundred hats. Yeah.

What would my things be? I don't know why I'm having trouble thinking of it. Yeah. I might, I'm having trouble. Clothes, just like in general? Yeah, I guess. It's kind of fun. I feel like I'm not to like, you know,

if you put me on the Scott Peck scale, I'd be like, oh, I'm way below how much he would enjoy new, like athleisure every day. Right. But that would be fun. Yeah. Just like every color, every variation. That would be nice.

Cozy Earth we talked about last episode. Just fresh bed sheets every day. Just disposable bed sheets. You got to make them. so one 60 second probably would do that someone else yeah that's right you anything like that time it would be it would be content it would be someone just editing everything for me like every day I had something to post and I didn't have to like manage it or edit it or delegate it it's just like it was just there just that's what I could not get enough of okay uh nothing yeah I got a lot of things

I'm thinking guitars I could have it'd be so fun yeah guitars would be fun also like grilling apparatuses like I'm talking like pizza like I have right now I have a pizza out of yeah get throw an egg in there I would love it yeah big green egg or a trager big green trager um maybe just those blackstone would be fun I have like a blackstone insert but like I would love like a whole outdoor kitchen you know kind of thing like it'd be fun to really go wild on that I think um different types of osseables I've kind of been doing that okay but I love I don't like going to the same place twice. Like, let's see how they do it.

See how they do it. Right. See what their granola's up to. Yeah. Do that a little bit now. That's nice. There's got to be more. I know there's things I love.

I wish I can't think of an answer for you though. Like I know you pretty well and I can't think of like. This is what Rachel's big gripe is. She says I'm so hard to shop for it because everything I like I just get sponsored. It's like even pick a ball shoes. Now we have those. We have been nice. Paddles, golf clubs.

We're all set. I did try to tell Catherine, like she asked the same thing because birthday and Christmas was right in the row here. It's tough for her. I was like, here's things that you can always get, like, anything that is more fun,

like that adds to the accessories of grilling or, like, all these different hobbies I have, grilling, woodworking, uh, my truck.

I love, you know, little accessories. Like technology accessories. Yep. You have a fun way to charge your keyboard. Maybe. A nice mat.

A nice mat. A wireless mat. Um, yeah, anything that, like, will add to my comfort. I love comfort stuff.

Like a cup holder. for your car that like, you know... Like, so it's softer when I touch it. Or like, I was like, or just clothes. I never need more clothes.

Like I think I have plenty of clothes, but it's like, it's a nice gift to have more clothes. So I told her some of those things. Try to think of anything. This isn't realistic, but I think I would enjoy driving a new car every day.

New car every day. Like in some sort of weird world where there's a new, car gets dropped in my driveway. That'd be kind of fun. That's how a businessman do some, like, on. Lacing? Well, just like they go on vacation, or they go on business and they rent a car.

Oh, I got you. You know? Yeah. They probably have a fleet. They probably have preferences, Sorrento versus, you know, Ultima. Oh, no, the Hertz sonatas are not as good as the nationwide sonatas. Yeah, eventually you get on like the high, high in plan where you get leather into your seats. Anyway, sorry, Rachel, that.

Jake's hard to buy for. That is a fun question, though. I just can't take it many things. Yeah, and it's cool to have like better versions of things. I always tell her that too, like anything I love, if you can just get like a really nice version of it, that's not that expensive, like a really nice journal or a really nice pin. Oh, that reminds me.

One of Rachel's new favorite things. Actually, I think we're going to get this for like every member of our family for Christmas. So I'll tell you off the podcast or after Christmas, but you love a nicer version of something. Okay. Oh, it's awesome. some I'm going to I'm going to show it to you behind the laptop

Windows okay could you see what was the first thing you did that was like me showing you that was like setting the scene a little bit here's where we're at oh no I've seen those on your

yeah yes I have some of those not the exact same ones but they're awesome pretty nice huh I'm not going to give it away but yeah I'd push it

sorry if that's too much Caitlin's going to get that maybe it's all all good I don't want no scrubs speaking of my family they were on a cruise this past week got to call my dad last week

you know of course they're on a cruise hey what's going on apparently so this was like my parents you're a coach and his wife my aunt Angie and then my grandma whose phone number you have

have my bow yes they got her to go and um that's sweet my dad said it was an unbelievable cruise if you if you liked four inches of water i guess it rained pretty much every day they couldn't do the excursions their room was flooded one night i mean it sounded like my honeymoon room was flooded yeah they had to change rooms one night at like 10 p.m i mean it just like monsooned the whole cruise i guess but they like convinced your grandma to come come on i mean yeah they drove down to Galveston with her and oh no but she had a great time he said they still laughed a ton i honestly really look forward to like being with all them and hearing them tell the story because that'll be you know the best stories are when things are like miserable like that you're just like um

yeah man i said it was great he was like grandma loved it he's like she she couldn't believe it just seeing houston just like seeing the city of houston she's like this is an amazing trip look how big this city is this is crazy one tall building right after another yeah and look at all all these breaklights. A lot of Espanio. Wow. Geez, they like tacos. But yeah, I think she loved it.

I mean, she just hasn't traveled much at all in the last 50 years. The billboards have Spanish on it. She can't believe. Yeah, she probably is like mainly in Stratford. Yeah. So, but they start fun. They still like, there were a couple ports where they wouldn't even let them get off the boat because it was so flooded.

It was like, yeah, we're here in Roatan Honduras, but just kind of look at it. Just kind of look at it. imagine the ATV and the snorick thing and there was one like excursion or port that they did let them get off on um so they said they just like bust them to this like little like you know gazebo area and they just sat down um while it rained and just like had lunch under the awning for a few hours and then just got bust back beautiful yeah how blessed are we that's amazing I love that for yeah for them though yeah that is a memory Yeah, they'll have good stories. Kind of like that memory of you guys staying at that hotel near Memphis, that planes flew out of all the time. At the time, it's like, where are we here?

This is awful. And that, yeah, it's a lifelong story. So, all right, once again, hey, we are raising money for Healing Waters International. They have a URL, give.healingwaters.org slash ghosties 2025. We are, we have a big goal. We're trying to raise $25,000 that's going to be matched to equal $50,000. $50,000 to 25,000 from us, 25,000 from this very generous donation donor. And it's a big goal. We are not close yet. We are about 10% of the way there. Yep. So we need to continue to donate.

So if you don't know, Healing Waters is a wonderful ministry that provides sustainable water solutions to countries all over the world. specifically we are raising money for Haiti this year. So we're doing 50K and 50 days. We have about 35 days left.

And don't be one of those people that waits to the last minute. Okay? No, you're going to scare us if you do that. You're going to scare us. We are trying to sweeten the pot a little bit. Yep. Putting a little sugar on top.

You can just click the link in our description below and go give. It's going to get matched. Double your impact, double your money.

So cool. Thanks in advance. Yes. absolutely it's true you don't you don't talk enough about the like you don't talk about the great like everything what's true that just were perfect yeah it was great like the ranch weekend was great I don't have that much to say about it but like oh yeah if we oh that was actually funny on the way down every once a while like with kids like it's like this is the kids are doing great it's completely perfect and then it's just like a flip a switch is flipped and like all of a sudden

bow and had he start fighting in the back seat because you know whatever had he was playing with something that's really bo's but bo wasn't using it yeah there was i want it whatever and so we're like addressing that like and then had he's like getting mad and like starting to cry and bo's getting frustrated and then i know where rosy's goes mom i had to poop and rosy dude i mean i just laughed i laughed out loud like when she's like mom i had to poop uh because when she there's a scene in the office uh where michael it's this it's the episode where Michael gets like left and abandoned at that gas station

because he has to go to the bathroom you know yeah that's sad but there's like he's talking to gym he's like how about I just fine if I if I can't find a bathroom I'll just I'll just pee all over your precious car

wouldn't you wouldn't you just love that if I just you know I don't know if I'm gonna make it you know all the way 10 minutes from now or whatever I was like that's what Rosie does she'll just be like poop is coming out it's coming out it's coming out and it never is

yeah I'm like okay we can can't stop right now. We never like we have like this little like portable toilet chair. All right. And so like we stopped in the middle of nowhere, Kansas. Yeah. And she sat on it and we're just like, and nothing, nothing happened. Like, like, okay. Yeah, truly. Some of my worst memories as a child involve those little like road trip emergency potty chairs. Yeah. Passing out on the seat. Just, I mean, terrible having to like poop in that. Yeah. Like while we're, driving down the road. I was going to say,

did you just straight up keep it in the car? Wow, that's wild. We tried that for Rosie one time. I think that's happened before. I think, yeah. Like,

just again, terrible memories. Just keeping it. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's coming out. It's like, oh my God.

Yeah. Very rarely was it poop. But yeah. Oh, yeah. That's tough in a confined area. Like, there's nothing comfortable about it in anyway.

I think Rosie is the opposite. I think she loves that pot. Like there was a few times where we're like, all right, we're stopping this gas. she's like, I want to use a pie chair. It's like, no, no, we can go to the actual bathroom.

I don't have to go anymore. It's like, you just want to sit on that thing. You just like the little. Yeah, poor, oh, my gosh. She's crazy, man. She's so fun and so crazy. Just, it's coming out. It's coming out.

Poop's coming out. I'd go, I'd go potty bodey bode bade. That's really, really bad. Doni, don'ty, d'i, bye. It's like, okay, Rosie. That's great. Did you see this on the Facebook page, Brad? I was listening to the morning on your age episode.

Brad was talking about a barbecue play. in Spring Hill and Secret Service was there. Yes, a picture of Obama. Yeah, I'm not sure if this is what Brad was referring to, but Barack Obama was at a barbecue airport in Oswatomie, Kansas. Yes. Yeah, so maybe it was just south of, yeah,

We Be Smoking, I think is what was called. I did see that. We be smoking. Just making sure you saw it. That was fun. That's fun. Thank you, Logan. Whoa, dude.

Just, first of all, just schmores of sound. you are running away with the early pole. I am? 81%. Oh, I never do that good. I guess the laugh of Dave Ellis was a little too niche for mine. I was like, I thought I had some good ones. Shout out to Coley for jumping in there while Timon's gone.

Yeah. I'm looking to the Facebook page now. Shout out Laura for Finding Jensen's news story. Unbelievable. just the best. Shout out Maddie McCullough. Madison McCullough for always throwing up to polls.

Holy cow, it's been two hours. I'm up to 83% now. Are you really? Jeez. We should look at the most, like the biggest landslide victories of smores. Man. I'm trying to find the other one.

My one of the week is going to be that music video, the Dashi music video that I was with Alexis Jordan. ay, aye, yeah, yeah. Is that that one? Jumped out the whip, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can just remember you in that doing something with like a cowboy at. Thanks. Is that right? Honestly, I would cringe too much if I went back on the watch, but you're probably right. Jump down the whip.

Lindsay Haney said anyone else got time and song stuck in their head and can't tell listening to it. Okay, Lindsay. Midge's Burner. Vivie Brown. It's a Broncos fan. me enjoy it while you do while you have it vivie um so random to hear the nigrihasa zoo mentioned

i think they renovated it recently my five-year-old has been begging to go oh we gotta that's so funny what what are the chances yeah who are you oh and cam risner risner yeah did you see that video of them uh watching the oh my gosh yes in the dorm room it was so perfect he actually did it so God, I got his name right. He wasn't even the one I met in person. So sick. Yeah, I love that you did that, Cam. Shout out.

Oh, and then there's some, sorry, now we're just scrolling through Facebook, but there's somebody made a reel of all these tiny little golden retrievers to Timons. Oh, yeah. Harvest Season song. Oh, yeah, that was great. It makes me want one real, real bad. Yeah, you tagged Catherine in it, didn't you? Yeah, I haven't talked to her about in person yet.

This is great. Someone found the article of Rachel being best dressed. Oh, really? Yeah. Best dressed on Pickleball Boulevard at the Pickleball World Championships. All right, Rachel. They found it. I figured someone's found it because I got, someone texted me like 30 minutes ago.

Wow, Rachel won best dressed. Crazy. Also, thank you for everyone. Everyone's been so concerned because someone passed away from the alpha gal allergy that I have. So a lot of people are reaching out, making sure I'm okay, make you sure I don't eat the hot dog anymore. Wow. I appreciate it.

That's wild. Thanks for thinking of me. Yeah, it is too bad. That, that. Just shout out as always for the Facebook group. It's always a, it's a blessing to be able to just like literally anytime I get on Facebook, there's something fun to read on there. So keep engaging on there.

I don't know if you knew this, but you look like Robert Irwin. Anybody ever told you that? There's something. I should do stand-up about that. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Topical. Yeah.

Yeah. Don't you dare. I love that. Thank you. You got a good memory. I do have a good memory. With everything but cell phones. I'm like an elephant that way.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a different kind of memory. It's like. It is for sure. That's forgetfulness. I don't have either. But not memory.

You don't have either? No. Probably because you've exposed yourself now. I know everything about you is going to be explaining because you're like, I used to force my exfixiation at myself. Yep. That could be it. That'll do something to you, buddy.

I don't know if I was good at remembering before I lost all his brain cells, but I doubt it helped. I doubt it helped. Yeah. Yeah. I found the post from Alexis Jordan. This is my one of the week. This is just like flashback. Alexa said, we were watching some music videos with kids.

My husband wanted to show my kids this one. It just so happened. One that I just so happened to be a part of. and as we're watching it, I thought I noticed something else who other than Jake Tripp, but this music video is nine years old. Backstores that this was not the original concept for the video. I actually flew down to Atlanta on my own dime, open casting to shoot it.

It was a backyard wedding, and I even caught the bouquet. However, something happened to the footage, so I had to reroute and had people submit themselves singing in the car. I just don't have friends, so I'm not the only one in the video in this car by myself. Anyway, that totally makes sense now. Like, looking back, like, oh, yeah, they wanted to. us to be in the music video. Yes, something must have happened probably. Yeah. And it's honestly it's a pretty smart pivot for them to be like, let's include our fans. But man, I'd completely

forgotten about that. And anyway, yeah, I think it was, I was in Kansas City. My sister in Kansas I'm pretty sure from memory, me and my sister actually filmed, like, us dancing in the car was like this dumb, like first 30 seconds of the video we submitted. And then my sister did like an entire dance to the song that she choreographed. And I don't think any of that made it. It was just like me scurring around with like a thing of rollerblades and a cowboy hat in the car. I was like, oh, I didn't even really want to be in this. Because there's a car, car themed. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I jumped out the whip. But we had it where she got out and started dancing. I miss those videos where she throws her hair all around. You would always reenact it.

And some people were like, I don't know who this girl is, but they better tell Rachel. Like, that is my sister. So it's fine. This girl looks just like Rachel. It's like, shut up. No, she doesn't. But anyway, yeah, just submitted a video just like a bunch of people and they somehow chose us. That's crazy. Time you got to win in the week?

I was distracted. I was looking up this music video. What are the week? I guess this was not this week, but like the response to the song that I made. Yeah. Just super cool that people, at least, yeah, people liked it,

which is super fun. For sure, do. Thanks. I'll try to do. want to do more if I have the time but yeah yeah that's a big win cool fun yeah um my win the week was my birthday this past week was really fun yeah um specifically had he wrote me at all my kids made me cards which was so fun bo like literally just copied i mean copied a text that katherine put on there that he wanted to write and like wrote his own hand right he was so cute but haddies was

like had he literally made me cry like i don't remember exactly what she said now but like Like, I mean, some of it was, like, silly. Like, I like it when you eat my eggs for me because she doesn't like her eggs. So sometimes I like, I'll like sneak a bite so she doesn't have to eat as much of them or something. But like, but then she said something like, you are you and that's enough or something like that. I was like, what in the world? You tell you to write like this. Like, first of all, bad theology, but second of all, like, oh my gosh, that's such a sweet sentiment.

Like, holy cow. Take this opportunity to correct her. So I'm not actually enough at all. I'm sinful. I'm flawed. I was born into sin. We went over this. Yeah.

like it starts with Adam and uh but it was just like oh my god like it was like so sweet and so and she said something like something about like me being the leader of our family or i don't know it was like what in the world like wow it was like homeschool's working i guess man it was like and i was trying not to like make it awkward as i was reading out loud with her there so i don't think she knew i cried catherine said she i didn't know you cried i was like oh yeah that's that's awesome tearing up so i told howdy i was like i'm gonna i'm gonna keep that card for the rest of my life Like, that was one of those sweet moments. And, of course, it was fun to get, I got a new putter for my birthday.

I got, you know, whatever, some other things. But I was like, that was the best. So it's a good win. Shout out to everyone, including you guys, for sending me nice texts on my birthday. Yeah. And yeah, just always feel and loved. Really appreciate my life. So win.
