I haven't even thought of anything to start with yet.
That's fine.
That's okay.
I was just checking my email.
All right.
Let's play a game.
All right.
Oh, okay.
How much?
Boggle.
Yatsi.
Uno.
Uno.
No mercy.
Have you ever played Uno mercy?
No mercy.
Ooh.
No.
No mercy is the dumbest game I've ever played in my life.
Okay.
I want to play your game more than that game for sure.
I just want to vent about Uno No Mercy for five seconds because my kids think it's awesome.
Is it?
Uno no mercy or is it
Uno Mercy or is it ooh no mercy?
It depends on who you ask.
Okay.
It's kind of like a, you know, Southern versus like it was, we were fighting for
States rights kind of thing versus versus calling it fireflies.
Yeah, exactly.
It has a different word for it.
It is the dumbest game.
I mean, like you just like have to draw 30 sometimes.
And then it's like, switch your hand with somebody else's hand.
So it just never ends.
And like what's the like crazy banana
Anagrams, like the one where they can just mess up your thing.
What's it called?
I don't know.
Fire me up.
It's called dumb games that I don't want to ever play.
Honestly.
Yeah, as a dad, I'm like, every once in a while the kids want to play, Uno Mercy.
No Mercy.
And I'm like, ew, no.
I'm like, how about, I was trying to say something Spanish.
Oh.
Alto.
I mean, nice.
I don't know Spanish super
All right, all right, let's talk about your emails
I was just checking it
All right, this game is called
How much of this is my fault?
Great.
Out of 100.
Okay, great.
There's a guy who's been
kind of playing a manager role
Helping Friday Pickle
Get some social media brand deals
Just like, oh yeah, this guy sounds awesome.
Oh yeah, are you loving this game?
Oh, yeah, sweet.
This guy sounds a real bro.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he's been great.
He's helped us get some deals.
probably a couple weeks ago.
He says, hey, we're going to do that brand deal in January.
I just sent over the doc you sign whenever you want to take a look at it or whatever.
A couple days go by.
I go to click on the link.
This is to sign the deal with Surf Shark, some VPN or something.
You don't have to tell me, brother.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a huge Sharker.
I've seen many people sponsored by them.
Oh, yeah.
We're fantastic at this podcast.
Yeah, big time.
I click on the link.
It says this link has expired.
That's your fault.
Okay.
So far, so far your fault.
Everyone knows that they expire for 24 hours.
Everyone, everyone out there.
As surf shark is my witness.
All right, so this is already not looking good for me.
So then.
I don't know if everyone knows that, but I did know that.
I hit them back and I'm like, hey, sorry.
You know, the link has expired.
There's a button that says, click here to send a new link.
And it's not seen me any link.
Sorry to bother.
Can you send me another one again?
Sins it again.
Well, he sends it a couple days later, and it's like Thanksgiving,
in the night before Thanksgiving, I'm in Iowa.
Of course, I'm not getting to that in time.
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving.
Sure.
DocuSigns take a long time, right?
At least the ones I've signed.
When I look at it, it will be my first time looking at the contract.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So then I get back from Iowa, you know, probably five days or so from now,
and I say, dude, I'm so sorry.
But I need you to send the docu sign email one more time.
Yeah.
and I just went to click on the link
and it says this link is expired.
How long ago?
Can we just...
I'm not going to do anything crazy.
Just stop making it expire.
Just send me a PDF.
I'm clearly not...
You should print it off.
You should print off the contract
and just sign it.
I'm not to text of a fourth time, dude.
This is mainly my fault.
No, I think you're the victim here.
I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts
in white meat too then West best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along
let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast
everybody's morning who are taking ground
a ghost on a podcast
Why's it goes so quick
So quick
There's only so many hours in day
I mean, it feels like if I forget for a second, this thing's over.
So, gosh.
Maybe it's less than 24 hours.
I don't know.
It's my fault.
Oh, yeah.
I just want him to just send a PDF.
I just want him to come to my house and let me sign it in person.
I want him to take my right arm, put a pin in it, and do everything for me.
The crazy thing is, dude, like, there would be no proof that he didn't dock you sign it for you.
Yeah, dude.
How are we getting by with this as SS?
Like signing mortgages over DocuSign?
Maybe there's some rule that's like, hey, we'll let you do it, but you can only do it for 24 hours.
Like, it has to expire after that.
Or maybe it's less than 24 hours.
I don't know.
But like, because it sounds like you're not getting to it very quickly.
Well, this is a really big deal.
This is as big as a mortgage.
Good for you.
Foot Surf's paying us for one video.
Those VPN companies are huge.
Yeah.
That's maybe the problem.
They're VPN company.
They're going to make me work for it.
Yeah.
I don't see how bad I want it.
Cyber security.
VPN's never been a VPN guy.
That's not true.
In Spain, I was a VPN guy because that helped me access sports.
The most research I did leading into China was like how to navigate their like, you know, the great firewall of China.
Got there?
No worries whatsoever.
Oh, really?
Just used data like I was in Kansas City.
They know exactly what you saw, though.
I don't know what.
I don't know what.
But I'm fine.
I still can't believe you went to China.
I think Isaac and Matt are going to go back in January.
Okay.
I don't know if I am or not.
Maybe Scott.
Yeah.
We'll see.
Scott?
Fine, I'll go.
Yeah.
You're looking for volunteers.
Timon's in.
I just got a text about you, Timon.
No way.
Kyle, who he shot with yesterday said, yeah, I'll send that to you, yeah, yada.
Also, timing is great, period.
Let me actually say this like it's a telegram.
Is this Kyle, that pickleball cow?
Yeah.
Okay.
Timon is great.
Stop.
Never makes you feel like we can't do something.
Stop.
And never shows annoyance that changes.
Stop.
Good guy.
Stop.
He's a period guy.
I guess.
We're talking about timing.
You think it was a Siri?
This was a telegram, actually.
There's a telegram.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm looking at my mail.
That's nice, though.
That's nice.
Yeah.
It is nice to have, like, that is a good quality of have time,
especially in your position to, like,
never be like annoyed with any request basically like unless it's like truly like that's a
terrible idea kind of thing like just being like yeah we can do that yeah let's meet like those
kind of people are wonderful assets to the team I think I I'm realizing I'm I'm too nice of a guy
to hire anyone like the idea of you filming with your hands yesterday and sitting sitting on
tripod I'm like man that's so much work for time I'm interesting
to have to make him, like, move his arm.
Like filming a pickleball point with an iPhone
instead of just a tripod doing it
just to get some slight movement.
I was like, that is for sure, like, the right thing to do.
But I don't know if I could ask time
and to do all that for like 20 minutes.
Really?
Just you're just, I don't know.
You're like worried he's worn out.
I have too much sympathy for videographer.
Zach was telling me the same thing.
He's like, dude, you're way too worried about me.
Like, I'll drink water.
The cool thing, well, the cool thing about hiring somebody
is you pay him at the end of it.
I know.
And so I have an issue.
They're providing value to you
and you provide value back to the...
Like, we just had Timon's drones
sitting up in the air for like 25 minutes yesterday
indoors. Well,
the monitor to see what the drone sees
is Tyman's phone. So Timon's just sitting there.
20 minutes. I'm like,
that sucks.
He's just sitting there.
Because he's doing it for nothing, right?
I mean, the poor guy's here in a volunteer position.
This is what I'm saying, dude. I can't do it.
I don't know. I'm not built to hire people.
No, I get it. I understand.
Because you're like, oh, the poor
guy's doing his job.
Yeah.
I guess.
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
I can't do it.
I forced him to do this.
That's what it is.
It's like, it feels like you're like, because you got to be like, here's this job.
And if you want to do it, do it.
And if you don't want to do it, that's fine.
Well, fine.
It's someone else, dude.
Yeah.
I got a whole list of people behind you.
So either take it or regret it for the rest of your life.
I had that thought yesterday.
I was like, it might be best for me.
I need a complete stranger.
I need someone I can just be like very direct to.
Well, but the thing is like you would never get to know that complete stranger, right?
Like you would,
you would never be friendly with the guy.
You never eventually become friends with the guy.
It doesn't.
I don't think I have that in me.
So that makes sense.
Like, yeah,
get the complete stranger and that'll solve all your problems.
And I'll never warm up to him.
And I will just stay distant.
You're just known for just being like,
eh,
I'm not going to act like you even exist, bud.
You're just,
you're just,
maybe it's better if the videographer is like always complaining and like a jerk.
And then it's like,
Well, serves them right, he has to hold the camera.
Yeah, you're too agreeable.
Do it for 45 minutes.
That's the problem.
Oh, now, yeah, that's 100% of it.
Yeah, get somebody that you think is bad at their job, basically.
Yeah.
And just, and just, and then, then you're just like, I don't, I don't, this guy doesn't deserve any money.
He's probably not even doing it right.
Right.
That's good.
All right, so I'll figure it out.
So time was moving an iPhone yesterday.
That was, that was tough for you.
Yeah, I was like, man.
Really weighed on your soul.
Yeah, I was like, I know, I think it's, I was like,
Tywin's funeral, poor little fingers.
Yeah, how are you feeling today?
Okay.
There's still a little recovery ahead of me, but I think, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, true, man.
Those iPhones these days.
Yeah, they're pro maxes?
Oh, man.
Yeah.
You didn't imagine it was a max.
That's tough, man.
iPhone 17, pro midge.
Pro midge.
Anyway, um.
That's a nice text.
That is a nice text.
Super nice.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop it.
Little women of Christmas, telegrams.
I was up last night.
I woke up to Rosie screaming.
Really, I woke up to Catherine, like, flying out of bed, basically.
Like, just jumping up and going, because Rosie was crying.
And then eventually Rosie came into our room and laid with us for a while.
And I didn't know what was going on.
There's been a few times recently where we tried to, like, not put her in a,
pull up at night like and so I thought maybe she like wet or bed or something like she but
wasn't the case apparently um because because katherine's like okay it's been an hour you need to go
back to your own bed whatever and rosy just didn't want to do it didn't want to do it and uh so
she went back in there I think and then came I don't know it's kind of the the timeline's fuzzy
but I learned that the reason she was so scared is because she was convinced that there was a raccoon
by her wall in her in her bed like she was like basically having
nightmare about this raccoon. And so she came back in our bed again and she laid by me this
time. No. Yeah. No, no. Wait, I'm the raccoon. Yeah. No, but like we put her back in bed
and she was scared and Catherine's like, we're laying in bed at like three o'clock in the morning.
We're both trying to fall back to sleep, Catherine and I. And Catherine just goes, I mean,
there's no chance there's actually a raccoon in there, right?
And I mean, like, she's like half asleep saying this, turning the other direction.
We have our sound machine on.
I can barely understand.
I'm like, I mean, did you check?
Like, because Catherine said, yeah, I checked.
There's no, like, she told Rosie this.
I checked.
There's no raccoon.
And all she was, all she said to me was, I was like, what did you say?
I can't hear you.
I was trying so hard to be patient.
I'm like, you're turned the other way.
You just turned towards me.
And like, she just didn't want to do it.
She's just like, uh-huh.
I was like, okay, do you want me to go check for this raccoon or not?
And she just, like, said, like, you know, seven seconds of an answer looking the other way.
I just say, I just go, yes or no.
I need to just say yes or no.
I can't hear what you're saying.
And she just goes, it's your call.
Once again, just being defiant of like, just say yes or no.
She's like, I'm not going to say yes or no.
There's no way I'm saying yes or no.
And so I was like, well, I'm already.
awake. I might as well go check. So I literally went in there. What's it looked like to check for
raccoon and wall? I just went and took my phone flashlight. No, it wasn't in the wall. It was
next to the wall. Oh, it was in the interior of the room. Yeah, she was convinced that there was
like a raccoon next to her bed. And so I was like, what if? Like, what if? And we're just like,
that'd be a great story. Yeah. So I go in there and there's no. You wake up in the morning,
Rosie's got her arm around raccoon. They bonded throughout the night. I'm like looking at
She's like, there's a raccoon by my wall.
And I'm like, there's no raccoon.
I don't see any raccoon.
I was like, you can look for yourself.
She didn't want to look.
And so I was like, so this is when I, I made this up.
It's a.k.a. I lied. I go, I talked to the raccoon.
I told it to go home.
So it's back at it's home now. It's gone.
She goes, you talk to the raccoon?
I was like, yeah.
I talked to it. And I told them, hey, we think you're cool, but we don't really want you here.
and so and he gave me a high five as he left rosy now you're pushing it rosy loved it
now you're pushing it she goes high five that's awesome okay so she goes to bed and then she comes back
in another like 30 minutes later and she's like the raccoons that's still there raccoons there i don't know
which one you talk to but the one i know is still here i'm like i don't know what to tell you but just
get in my bed it get next to me and i'll protect you so i'm like using her as like my second pillow
basically like cuddle with her i don't think i slept since from three o'clock i might have slept for 30 minutes
She's at the perfect height where the heel of her foot just kind of connects straight with the lower waist of her dad.
Yeah, kind of her grandfather clock.
Yeah, every time she moves a little bit, like kind of, it, it scares me.
And I'm just like, you know, it's anyway.
And she wasn't very still.
A few times she just like just like touched my face, like on purpose.
It was just like she was not asleep.
Just touching my face, like, yeah, kind of grabbing at me.
And I just find I go, you need to stop or else I'm going to go sleep on the.
the couch. And she's like, you can't go, you know, it's like, all right, just be cool. Because
the whole time I'm worried about Catherine, kind of like you're worried about timing with his
camera. I'm like, Catherine's going to be frustrated. She's not falling asleep. None of us
get sleep. And so. I freaking communicate with a raccoon earlier. I can do this. Why is it so hard?
I was like, just be cool. So luckily when I left to come here, Rosie was still asleep in our
bed. So hopefully she's sleeping in a little bit. But what age can you get away with like,
What age do your kids have to be to, like, convince them that you communicate it with animals?
I think, I think she's right on the cusp.
She's close.
Yeah, she's going to start asking too many questions.
You might have to deny everything.
I didn't talk to a raccoon, Rosie.
Luckily, none of my kids have had, like, scary dreams too much or anything like that.
But, yeah, Rosie's for this raccoon thing.
Crack me up, Kevin.
Like, I could hear, like, breathe out.
She's like, I mean, there's no way there's a raccoon, right?
Like classic mom just like worried for her daughter actually like there might be raccoated here.
It was like 15 degrees last night.
Like maybe there's a chance this raccoon's like cold.
I'm freezing.
I'm coming inside.
How would they get it?
How would they infiltrate our house?
It's not a mouse.
Like mice can get in tiny little areas.
They got fingers though, dude.
They could open doors.
True.
We're known for keeping doors unlocked every once in a while.
It is funny.
Why did it's, it's us monkeys and raccoons were the ones with fingers?
You'd think there would be more of like a.
There'd be a stepping stone between the monkey and the raccoon a little bit.
It seems like a big step.
Yeah, I don't know.
Huh.
But anyway, so Rosie and I, yeah, had a nice four-hour night of sleep.
Yeah?
Yeah, it was great.
Sounds awesome.
It was great, man.
Two days ago, we filmed some stuff, and Tyman was there.
Tripod, though.
Worked too hard.
I was pressing a button and staying there.
This is actually before we started recording.
So we have a Friday has like kind of a big announcement coming like January, 26.
And so we want to do like a video that gets a lot of views where we can put that announcement in it.
So classic like, can me and Isaac beat these two girls that are a little better in us?
That seems like the best way to go about getting a lot of it.
So these two girls show up and we're just like warming up before we get going.
I go for a shot and I'm like, dang it, that's so annoying.
I just pull a muscle on my back.
And like we're shooting nonstop the next two days.
I become towards Washington on Friday.
That's so annoying.
So I still play for the next two or three hours.
Text, uh, my, my, my cup girl.
Yeah.
Zinka.
Okay.
Zinka virus.
Yeah.
Big zinc.
Big zinc.
Zinc oxide.
Okay.
I don't know which nickname I'm going to go with.
Uh, the kitchen zinc.
Wow.
Let me know.
Let me know in the comments.
Sound off in the comments.
Sound off.
The kitchen zinc's pretty good.
Yeah.
I don't think it can get better
Kitchen Zinc?
Pretty in zinc
Or yeah, just in zinc
In Zink
Yeah
Boy band
In Zinc might be more fun
In Zinc this time of year
Yeah
So I text her like
Hey I know it's super last minute
I go to Dallas on Thursday
Tomorrow's Wednesday
Can you get me in?
Like yes let's do it
I got to start being more prepared
When I first of all want to go to physical therapy
because you get so many questions about your body.
And it's like, I don't know, it hurts.
And like, what about here?
Is it here exactly?
Is it here?
Oh, I don't know.
Well, I think especially lower back, it's like hard, or little back.
Sometimes I'm like, oh, it's like my upper right back.
And then they touch up there.
It's like, no, that's not it.
Well, I didn't really make it worse, I guess.
I guess it's like right.
Yeah, by my waist.
Like that's actually not my upper bag at all, but it just feels bad everywhere.
Yeah, I think I was just self-conch because last time I answered all the questions wrong.
You're quads tight?
No, they're super loose.
Some of the worst I've ever seen.
yes ma'am okay all right so why are you asking every time she asked a question i was second guessing it
like how's your like how's your flexibility like rotating how's your twist of like i want to say
fine but you tell me okay let me just get to the story um as she's working me out she's like all right
this isn't too bad i do yeah i have something you're not going to like i think i need to cup you
I said, you know what?
I've done it once before.
That's why it came here, right?
To get better, let's do it, all right?
And you got cupped on your calf last time.
Yeah, I was like, this time it's your back.
Let's do it.
And so, she was like, and also, I don't want one side to be weirder than the other,
so we're going to have to cup like both sides of your back.
Oh, yeah.
I was like, let's do it.
Michael Phelps.
And so, yeah, we start doing it, walk in the freaking park.
Really?
I think calves is like a form of cruel, unusual punishment getting cup there.
I know, I told her, I said, with 10 cups on my back, I was like, I could fall asleep right now still.
Really?
It's no problem.
It's like a little massage.
Okay.
And even like, have me do these movements with the cups on, no problem.
Yeah.
I'm here to say.
Okay.
If you've had your back cupped and you're like, oh, yeah, Jake, I know you're talking about it.
It is painful.
You don't have a clue.
You don't even understand.
You have a clue talking to when your calves get cups.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
That was night and day.
It does feel like the calf.
area is really tender.
There's just no skin.
Yes.
It's just.
What are you even sucking up?
It's just like, bone.
Well, it feels like I got some pretty good calves, you know, pretty strong calves.
It feels like there's not as much like, yeah, looseness.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It feels like I could grab a little bit of your back right now.
You can grab back.
I can't grab cat.
I can't grab cap.
Playing a little game of grab calf down there.
You boys.
Hey, you boys.
Stop it over there.
Now, she did ask me.
She said, are you, do bruise easily?

Perfect.
I don't know about neighbors, but to people.
Like in the biblical sense.
Mm-hmm.
Got it.
Brothers and sisters.
Yep.
Yeah.
Mastereostr.com.
promo code GRKC or use the link in our description description to support healing waters
who mason rose is also supporting okay we did it did you see the uh email we got from hulu
yesterday a couple days ago yeah dude i completely forgot about it in a good way i was like oh yeah
they owe us money yep we did all that for him yep and so i go look at the contract and it says
net 60 and i go look when it's live and it was like october six i'm like
oh, we should get paid pretty soon then.
And then her email was like, confusing.
So this girl from Hulu was like, hey, Jake checking in.
Can you confirm that the video is not boosted or something like that?
And tell people what boosted means in case they don't.
I wasn't even totally sure.
I was like.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you can like pay to like, like there's sometimes if you go, like even if you go to our.
Is it TikTok?
We did like slim chickens.
Oh, no.
I think it was Instagram.
We did like a slim chickens video.
one time and slim chickens like paid to like boost the ad yeah and so we got like a million
views on that video but it's no way because it wasn't because it was like this amazing videos
because slim chickens paid for it yeah maybe it's TikTok but um so you can pay like like if you
ever go like every once a while you'll look at like big like look at trays every once in a while
and he'll find well how in the world did that Verizon one get 35 million views yeah the brand is like
running ads on it yeah so the email said out of curiosity can you confirm
if you boosted your content from your end.
So I was like, all right, I think I know what this means.
Like, did we run ads on our own?
Do we pay for more video?
You know, it's just like, I think I understand it, but I'm just like confused.
Like, what led to this?
What made you think like, did you pay for it?
So then I go check, I was like, does this have a million views?
And I just don't know about it.
No, it has 21,000 views.
But.
So many comments.
The engagement.
Yeah.
And I'm like, that must be it.
So I almost had a message typed out.
No, we didn't boost it.
We just told our podcast audience.
Like, you know what?
No.
I don't even tell her anything.
I think, dude, I think my interpretation, and maybe I'm too optimistic, is...
They want some Mo.
They want some Mo.
Correct.
They're like, okay, we paid, you know, a very small percentage to these people compared
to other people, but look at all the engagement that we got on this thing.
They got 100 comments, and people, people converted.
They said, like, they're going to go watch the show.
There's only 45 people that watched the show in the nation.
It's all Genevorts comedy fans.
So shout out to the ghosties.
Honestly.
That's probably why we're going to.
we got this email. Yeah. Can you confirm if you boosted your content from your end?
Because I went, I did, I went back to that video too. I'm looking at this. I never read
these comments. Dude, the video, the comments are amazing. Because you showed out. There was even
one I like went and looked at like most recent comment. It was like, how am I so late on this?
I have to go watch it right now. It's all just like, this is the, this is the best decision
Hulu could ever. Yes. Right. It's so funny. Like it was Chad Powers get jean shorts for this ad.
It was like just crazy enough that obviously as Ghosties, G-Torrs people, we know that, like, they were like sarcastic, but not so crazy that it was like, okay, clearly these people aren't actually going to go do it.
Yeah, ghosties did a phenomenal job. Oh my gosh. So I hope that they're like, hey, we need to work with these people again. Yeah. So. So, yeah, I said, we did not pay for views or boost the video in any way, if that's what you mean. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. When can we expect payment? And she said, payment is net 60.
I was like, yeah, I know that.
Yep.
When can I expect it?
Do a 60-day calculator.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
If they ask us again, would we say, I think we'd say yes, but it'd just be like, all right.
Yeah, for the right price, like buckle down.
This is got to suck again.
Like, even just this email thread is like 54 emails.
Half of them were in the middle of the Gulf Shores trip.
Yeah.
I mean, it's champagne problems.
At the end of the day, it was so easy besides these emails back and forth.
Dude, and this is the one where you and I both responded at the same time with the same amount.
That's right.
That was awesome.
Yeah.
That was July 24th.
It takes so long for these things to happen.
It's crazy.
Dude, can't announce that.
I know somebody who got a big contract for something, and it's not going to be released to the public until, like, 2027.
That's awesome.
Travis Kelsey.
Are you talking about my role in Dune 3?
Dune 3, yeah, time and shallamee, time and the, no.
Someone who got a big contract in 2027, sports, music.
Big contract to, not big contract to the world.
They would see that number and be like, oh, that's awesome.
But like, for them, they're doing well.
This is your brother-in-law, Anthony.
It's a big contract for him because he eats at soup kitchens.
Right.
Yeah, there's crossover between this person and us.
And so I don't want to release their news before they release the news.
Fun.
Someone we know in the influencer space got a book deal and they get an advance.
And that's a $75,000 advance for their book coming in 2027.
That's my guess.
All right.
I went to a KU game with my dad Tuesday night.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I don't know.
I think it's because of Thanksgiving slash recording
with you guys on Saturday, but my whole week's been weird.
Including KU on Tuesday, they'll either play on Saturdays or Mondays most of the time.
Getting back into town from Iowa on a Friday and then recording the podcast on a Saturday.
Yeah.
Honky donkey.
We got done, we got done recording on Saturday afternoon or whatever that way.
I just say wonky and I didn't say either of those words.
Honky donkey donkey donkey.
He didn't say wonky donkey donkey.
Sometimes I don't listen to you.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hawk, don't.
What's honky donkey?
Honky donkey's fun.
I like it, though.
I'm thinking my Mondays and Saturday is so honky donkey donkey.
Honky donkeys.
Dude, did you just honky my donkey?
Merch idea.
Honky donkey doggy.
I meant to say it's so wonky.
And after I got honky wrong, I was like, well, I'll save it.
I'll say it again.
Donkey, whoops.
That bonka don't.
Honky don't.
Yeah, after we recorded Saturday, I asked you guys as well as I was even like,
What are you guys up to this weekend?
And I think you were like, I mean, it's Saturday night.
Yeah.
Right now.
Yeah.
Dude, I genuinely, this is the first time I think this ever happened to me.
Last night I was going to bed and I was like, I don't think I have anything going on tomorrow.
As in like, I didn't remember that we were recording the podcast.
We record every Thursday, basically.
It's like a normal Thursday.
I was just like, this is nice.
I don't know.
I got a raccoon.
Yeah, yeah.
And instead, it was like, oh my gosh.
Like I would have, I would have forgot.
I would have pulled a time.
You would have to come knock on my door and be like, hey, are we doing this thing?
Glad you remembered.
Anyway, went to the KU game on Tuesday with my dad.
They were playing big, big game, Yukon, number five in the country.
KU having a little bit of hard year.
So it was a big game.
KU lost.
Kind of bummer.
But while we were there, I mean, it was like a big game.
So like it was just shoulder to shoulder.
So tight in there.
Just so packed.
It was so much fun.
But there were these guys next to us who I think we're students.
like they were they had to have been um but like throughout the game i didn't really talk to him
but every once while they would say something kind of funny i'd kind of look at them and laugh like you
know whatever like hey i have the same to the memories you guys yeah yeah yeah like oh yeah i know what
lit means that's cool dude they they were using words i'm like you guys really use those words in
real life honky donkey they're like oh dude that would be so lit dude i'm like you sound
ridiculous uh anyway but k u was down by six okay follow me here timing okay you scores two points now
down by four.
That's like 33% less losing.
Correct.
There's like six minutes.
I mean, it's like a big time.
KU's down by four now.
We steal the ball.
Fast break.
Guy pulls up for a three-pointer.
Drain's it.
KU guy.
So we're down by one.
Drain means make.
Yeah, rain,
rain,
goes down in the tub.
Makes a shot.
Place is going,
but bananas.
Bananas means loud.
Okay.
And they're going loud?
You're going.
And tell me,
I'm just trying to make sure I understand.
The whole crowd's going.
honky donkey honky donkey honky donkey the donkeys are going honky the albino donkey so here's how i instinctively went honk donk
on this guy i they made this three like we were all standing up at this point like getting into it you know
cheering like yeah it's like one of those times we're like okay we score we're down by four like let's let's go like
you know let's all stand up and get crazy loud la and then we steal the ball it's like yes we stole it we're
gonna maybe score two points and these two to three it's like yes let's go so we're already all
standing up instinctively this guy next to me i just like kind of lower my shoulder into him like got
excited like is that too far in public like i mean no like you lowered your shoulder and got excited what does that
mean okay like you hit him kind of like okay like in like a kind of like a kind of way but just in like
a let's go so like one shoulder goes down complete stranger complete stranger complete stranger like
this is him all right everyone get your drinks this is him oh steal let's go let's go
shoots the three it's in yeah let's go let's go okay so you like lateral movement like
kind of shoulder arm to arm like I don't know this guy dude I would do that I do that to my dad
everyone's while like yeah I need to go dad I need to go haddy daddy I don't know he's a little
shorter than me this guy so it kind of felt like a little bit of like alpha he was wearing
one of those, I think they call them
sweaters, hockey sweaters, like a hockey
jersey. Interesting. And so
like, maybe I just thought like, he's all right. He likes it
rough. Yeah. Why not? Let's go!
The way he
looked at me, dude, was like, first
of all, like, I can't believe this stranger just did
that to me, but also like, yeah,
yeah! That's when we
high five each other.
My dad sees his high five,
and so my dad gets in on it. I'd like,
boom! Boom!
We're going nuts together, dude.
Dude, that scene reminds me of the, remember the titan scene at night practice when they finally
turned the corner as a team and Gary out of nowhere just like shoves Julius.
Left side.
Yeah, left side.
And Julius is like, all right.
Yeah, let's do this.
Is he the mouth he's in?
Yeah, that was what you did.
Yeah, it was.
It was like out of nowhere.
I didn't think about it.
It was just subconscious.
Like, I would do it to a friend.
I think it is the hockey jersey.
I think there was something about.
I think there was something about.
And like, I mean, the guy was a little bit.
it yeah rough around like whatever just he didn't seem like he was going to like freak out at that
like I would never do that to a stranger like that's my dad's age or someone who's like vaccinated
yeah exactly this guy had some lettuce on him yeah and just like a world by the horns boom and he just
looked at me like who who is this guy and then like yeah two seconds later he's like all right
let's go there is something about like that's pretty funny strangers at sporting events like
male bonding yeah bonding together like all of a sudden
you're just turning around trying to find it any high five you can you know what i mean
let's go because everyone's excited about the same stuff like anyway it was a bummer that we lost
but that was a fun that's pretty fun for sure so anyway that's a good time that's cool are you um
what are you know for the chief team this week i'm going to glides okay good yeah fun it'll be fun
i'm i i heard great stories about the christmas party last year i'm not missing this speaking of
glide uh i'll go i'll go win of the week now please um he is he's been super generous and
hooking us up with the cyber truck on our trip later today so he texted me like two days ago
it was like hey just had a work meeting glad works at tessa um they're gonna need all cars back
by saturday at one p.m for this holiday demo drive we're doing could you guys do that i think
at one p.m kind of doing the math driving from dallas it's an electric car having to stop twice
probably.
Like, we would have to leave at about 4 a.m.
Like, all right, I'll break the news to time
and I think that that's the case.
And then...
Okay, go ahead.
Win of the week, Glide comes back.
It says, you know what?
3 p.m.'s fine.
So all of a sudden, leaving at 6 a.m. sounds way better.
Yeah.
Excited about that.
So you're leaving Saturday at 6 a.m.
We're leaving.
Oh, yeah.
That's not great.
I was up at 6 a.m. this morning.
And 5 a.m.
Yeah, you'll be fine.
Yeah.
Same.
that's why I was so early
to recording
yeah so like
they're letting you like just
are you renting it
are you paying for this or are you just going on a test drive
just a long test drive
yeah 200 mile radius
I don't know how far Dallas is but
I'll say within 200 mile radius
there's no way of figuring that out yeah
yeah what if
never mind
if there's a fee
then it comes out to about what it would have been
to rent a car there you go that's good
ipso facto
what if they have like a GPS on it that
no they don't have GPS on it that
no they don't have GPS
I was going to say, what if it's like,
oh, you're out, you're without, you know, like the,
like a golf cart.
It's like, hey, you're too close.
Yeah.
You have to go in reverse the whole way back until you're back in the radius.
Yeah.
That won't happen.
Tesos are dumb.
If anything does happen, that's why we're bringing time.
We're filming it all.
That's right.
That'll be fun.
Yep.
Yeah, I was curious about how that.
Okay, so it's like a test drive.
Yeah.
Tests.
It's kind of what Glyde did when we helped him move in.
I think he was test.
driving the car and he's like yeah people do it for date nights all the time like people are already
abusing the system i'm just abusing it more yeah now i'm thinking katherine you want to go on a
little date yeah a little beast a cyber beast yeah which one would i choose can you test drive
the the really fast sports ones surely you can do i don't know what they have but why not yeah
those ones are plaid unreal yeah would you guys is this is it too much would you ever own
the car that's got like the falcon doors is that too flashy
where's your line where cyber truck would be i i couldn't i don't think i don't think i could
i don't think i do cyber truck i think i could do the cool doors though yeah i would agree with both
those statements okay if the cyber truck doesn't change yeah that i'm never getting one yeah if they
make a new cyber truck that's like if it's somewhat adjacent to the rest of me yeah you know
yeah like if they somehow make it look a little more like the rest of the teslas but just in a truck
form then yes that's fun um or minivan form have i ever told you how bow one time uh like there was
there's somebody at our church that had a cyber truck or, like, work for Tesla or something.
Like, they're really one of the first times I ever saw a cyber truck in the while.
It was, like, parked at church.
This was, like, kind of a big deal.
And then a few weeks later, we see it again.
And apparently, Catherine was like, oh, we parked right next to the cyber truck.
And Bo just goes, I hate cybertribes.
And Kathleen's like, what is that based off of?
And now Bo, like, we give him a hard time.
Oh, no, don't look at the cyber truck.
It's over there.
And he's always like, I never said that.
but apparently he just like really took a stake for i hate cybert
just for one day he i guess so just one time i hate cyrus trucks so um that's funny yeah no i
i don't think i would probably ever get the wing whatever those what are what i think it's
falcon wing yeah model x the big one the only reason i wouldn't get it is because i'm sure it's too
expensive for how like I wouldn't be like embarrassed by them necessarily as much as I would just
be like I don't need that like yeah it is I feel like it's better for Tesla owners that like
they're way more common now it's like probably I'm probably when they were first being made it was
like I have a Tesla like you know but I don't think it's that way unfortunate thing is are they in the
back only or are they in both those fun doors yeah just like the two rear doors yeah so like
that's kind of a rough situation because like as a dad
you're dropping off your kids and you have to like they have to get out then your kids look
like the richest kids in school but so much room to load in and out that's what they say oh
there's nothing in your way there's no door like somewhat in your way yeah that's a good point
yeah okay this sounds like i'm getting one i'm not kidding one no joe you can get one if you
want to get one jake would you call me no joe joe joe um little women joe honky donkey honky donkey
Those doors are a bit honky donkey for me.
Rachel says she sees a lot in the pickup line.
See?
I think it's the new minivan.
That's not true.
It could be.
It could be like a, yeah.
Upper-class minivan.
The Tahoe of the world.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
All right, Simon, for this one, we're going to do a song.
All right.

quick question
if I'm gonna become a founding father tomorrow
do I need to shave my mustache
no
it's mustache season for you
but I found it
I'm towards Washington
do you want to shave it
not really
I don't know when I would actually
I don't know okay
don't do it
we don't know for sure
yeah we don't know for sure
it's like dinosaurs
we don't actually know what they look like
I was going to say go for it
but Brad was like don't
50-50.
All right, let's ask the audience.
This will come out four days too late.
No way, dude.
I like the staff.
Because I was even like,
Isaac should shave.
Everyone commit to the bit.
Everyone becomes a founding father.
If Isaac's got to have a full beard.
If Isaac's got a full beard,
you're totally fine.
They'd have a full beard.
It'd be pretty funny if we also got Isaac to
full send.
Like, no, we were trying to make this
as historically accurate.
Convince Isaac.
This isn't for humor.
This is like,
it's like a field trip for everyone.
everybody yeah it's like i hope everyone learns a little something as they play us like we didn't
have fun in the car we were we were learning more you're like doing research you're watching like
kin burns documentary yeah poor richards almanac yep okay yeah reading up on that okay so the mustache can
stay i think so fine but commit to everything else including the shoes some old just
buckled muckled pilgrim style when did facial hair become a thing because abraham
Adam?
True.
Good question.
Abe Link.
Like when it was like, no, it's all right now.
Or was Abe just a common man?
A farm boy.
All right.
Didn't cut down no cherry trees.
When did facial hair become a thing?
Because George Washington and the founding fathers never had any, but Abe Lincoln, question mark?
Good.
So I talked to chat.
Great question.
there's actually a super clear historical pattern patterns in italics to this
okay must be the name of a book
facial here wasn't basically wasn't cool in america in the early years
until dot dot dot the mid-1800s who popularized it
when suddenly it became the cool thing italicized clean-shaven what meant
refinement self-control civilized dude self-control just reminded me
we played pickle balls to be the other day
and someone was like
being very complimentary of me and Isaac like I think you guys are
going to do very well together you just you play so well together
you guys are such like you're in control of your emotions
you never get too high or too low you're in control
I was like thank you
and I thought she was going to say after like did you
have you guys known each other for a long time
have you grown up together she said
do you guys cold plunge a lot
and I said
some she goes
that's it that's it
you can you can control that you can you can suck it up and do that yeah i just kind of let her
have her victory there she really thought those things were related i think it's more just a
personality thing but yeah but yeah recently i've cold plunged so yeah that is my manner on the
court um i mean yeah back before you started you would freak out all yeah i was not you were a rage
monster yeah um it does seem like abraham lincoln might have been the guy who kind of popularized it
a little bit. Huh. Okay.
A little girl, Grace
Bedell famously wrote
Abe a letter in 1860 saying
all the ladies like whiskers
and they would tease their husbands to vote
for you. Lincoln grew the beard. It's stuck
then the entire country copied him.
Okay. Wow. You kind of hit the nail
in the head. So it says. So let's see. Who's the 17th president
timing? I don't know.
Millard Fillmore.
Let's see. It was.
Did we have a 17th?
17th president? I thought we skipped. Abe, he was so good.
Like, Abe, you did it, man.
Yeah, no one can take off a few years.
Run this thing ourselves.
He's like, I don't even want to hear your first offer.
We'll just call you the 18th U.S. President.
Andrew Johnson. No, no facial hair on that boy.
According to this one picture.
How did he get votes?
Maybe it was just, oh, Ulysses as Grant, though.
That dude, that dude, that dude, put some hair on his face.
Oh, yeah, big time.
oh yeah so maybe uh looks like russell crow looks hawky donkey to me
that's kind of fun though all right made 1800s facial hair came back the whiskers yeah
you gotta you gotta sell out every other way but you gotta keep the stash got it it shows it
shows you got a fun side to you everything else about you just looks so serious that'll be
nice to have some some lightheartedness to the situation yeah finally yeah so man that'll be nice
That'll be fun.
There's one Iowa story that I forgot to tell.
I can't believe it.
But Steve Coop was sitting in a, well, a very important meeting.
It was the Butler County Soil and Water Commissioners meeting.
Oh, yeah.
You know how these go.
Oh, and it's always this time of year.
This time of year, emotions run high.
There's a lot of stress, a lot of things to vote on.
Actually, I have no idea what happens.
But, yeah, Butler County Soil and Water Commission's meeting.
Apparently, one thing that another, they're asking some questions.
they're curious about
how do some of these lobbyists
like use the money
that like you know they're giving like how does this all work
he goes I'll look it up
he unlocks his phone
boom YouTube ad
says are you looking for our testosterone therapy
to reduce man boobs
he's like
oh oh oh what
it just goes off for the whole meeting
to hear and so I think that's what
know him by now.
Oh,
as far as the Butler County
soil and water commissioners.
No way.
Yeah, he's the man boobs guy.
Yeah.
He's looking for testosterone
to reduce man boobs.
Are you sagging
in all the wrong places?
Yeah, he's like,
I've never Googled that or,
they just know my age and gender.
That's why I got that ad.
I don't Google that.
I did a biometric scan the other day
and they just, I don't know,
getting weird stuff.
I gave my dad out of the wrong people, I guess.
Wow.
But I was like, that's a,
that's a good story.
That's too bad.
What did they,
these people laughed and like,
yeah how serious is this meeting like i'm sure steve is like so well known with these guys right probably
yeah so he said that like two of the women in there died laughing thought it was so funny he said the
rest of the meeting if they ever got eye contact they were just like die laughing again yeah just like
the worst youtube ad to go off at the worst time oh do you need testosterone for your man poops
let's get back to business guys come on oh come on what are we doing here lobbyist
And where's the lobby?
I've never been in it.
Yeah.
I couldn't fit in it.
That's too bad.
Has he gotten any sense?
You know, has he?
Yeah.
Like, how do I select?
Do not show me more ads.
He's like, I can barely even finish the prescription of that stuff.
That's wild.
When's the week?
Time you got one?
Yeah.
After the podcast last week, Friendsgiving.
Oh, yeah.
And it's fun.
It's like, it felt.
Sometimes it feels, we've done this two years in a row now,
feels kind of like a friend reunion for some people from like theater people
that we don't see much.
Yeah.
Like a college and stuff.
Where did you do it?
Oliver's house.
Okay.
Great.
Just great hosting venue.
Pretty big table or?
Yeah.
Pretty solid.
Like well, well made table, yeah.
Real wood.
Holded up pretty well.
Real wood.
I can't remember what, how they got that.
It kind of wayfair.
Wayfair happened to remember.
Wayfair might be it.
Yeah.
I don't think Wayfair makes them that big for that custom.
That custom.
Or that durable or that long-wise.
They make them somewhat custom.
That heirloom quality.
I don't know where you got it.
Got it.
Yeah, it's great, though.
That's sweet.
And then, like, spontaneously, I think I kind of teased.
Maybe working on a new song.
Some friends helped me add some new lyrics and ideas.
That was fun.
I just love when there's a piano at a function.
Because it can, stuff can happen.
It's great.
Who pursued the piano?
Oh, a lot of people.
Probably Zach for.
He likes to initiate.
It wasn't you like, hey, guys, I have this song.
No, no, I don't know.
Okay.
Maybe it.
Maybe someday.
There maybe was a slight amount of that, but it already felt like after party vibes.
I wasn't like throwing off the whole evening.
I think it was fine.
Yeah, that was fun.
So good.
And take a look at that wrapping paper.
Whoa.
We're obligated to.
Yeah.
Rachel's contract.
Yeah, she said once an episode, it's her writer.
got it
you're one of the week
I've really enjoyed
this Monday is the Maker's Market
for the kids making that thing
making those things for Bo
I really like
I enjoy training my children
in a lot of different ways
but like I really like teaching them
about business and like finances
and stuff like that like it's just fun to like
kind of give them elementary
you know principles
of business stuff like
yeah like they had
And it was even fun.
Like, we were talking to Bo
yesterday about Bo,
how much do you think
you should charge
for these weapons
that you're making?
Bow's armor,
he's what he's calling it.
And he's like,
ah,
I don't know.
Like,
Bo is at the stage right now
for whatever reason,
his personality,
he just wants you
to make all these decisions.
Like,
like, small things.
Like, dad,
do you think I should get
an apple sauce pouch
or a fruit bar?
I'm like,
I don't,
what do you want,
man?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Okay,
how about a fruit bar?
Yeah,
I'll get a fruit bar.
You know,
Like, it's weird.
And so, um, anyway, but like talking about like, maybe I'll do $5 and $2 for these different
things.
And, and so then teaching them like, okay, if you sell out really quickly, that means
maybe you could have charged more.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Or if you sell them to, you know, if you price it too high, you know, that might mean, you
know, because like, yeah, you can make different amount of money, you know, for the same
amount of stuff or because, because he's like, yeah, I don't, I don't want to sell very many
of them is what he said.
He's like, I want to keep a lot of money.
Well, that's not right.
we're doing this kind of thing.
So anyway,
but just teaching him
and then also talking to Hattie about stuff.
I don't know if I mentioned this
in the podcast or not,
but the other day,
I basically broke down this thing.
Like,
Hattie really wanted to make these
stickers for Maker's Market.
Did I tell you about this?
And like,
I basically broke it down
of like,
listen,
if you do this,
you're going to lose money no matter what.
And she was like,
I don't care.
I just want to do it for fun.
Yeah.
And I'm like,
okay,
so you're going to lose like $7 doing this
because it's $15 and you might make
$8 on.
I was like,
you neither need to raise your prices
for a, you know, whatever, or just do it and learn the lesson.
And my hope is like, okay, maybe she'll learn the lesson and someday she'll not lose $8,000
on something, you know, she loses $8.
That's great.
So I don't know.
It's just fun to teach them about business.
It's fun to teach them like, yeah, these people are coming over to order table for me.
And I'm going to make it for a lesson I'm selling it for, but they don't want to make it
themselves so they can pay me more money for it.
Yeah, that's nice.
You know, like just this April, you think you're going to like really like,
take it to them and show them how taxes work and take a third of their bed i saw dude uh actually this
girl that i had a brief dating stint with in college uh honky donkey she was she had some wonky
legs um wonky donkey um she i saw she posted her husband the other day like trying to teach her
their kids about uh taxes really like he's like yeah so i took you know the three dollars of their
ten dollars for this and he's like you know that was that insurance
that we have to pay for.
Yeah, it comes out.
And I'm like, I'm not going to go with the taxes route.
They're not ready yet.
I want to teach them like interest for sure.
I like the idea of, yeah, come to me, like put your money.
You can either use your money now or save it for three weeks and I'll give you an extra
$2 or something like that.
That's fun.
Yeah, you should put one of them in a really like, you know, cash positive state.
You know, one of them, they start deferring payments the other one.
You know, hey, you know.
Yeah.
Chinese New Year's coming up.
You know, that might affect things.
you know let's get really the globalization yeah so anyway I really it's fun and it's fun to like
because obviously like I learned a lot of principles and stuff for my parents but it was a lot of
just like save your money like save your money don't do anything with it it's like I'm trying to teach
him like hey but there's always ways you can make more money like I told you had yesterday I was like
I will give you a list of things that if you do them you can do them as much as you want to do them
like you know and of course it's going to take too much time and she can't do them all but I'm like
You can make unlimited amounts of money if you work hard.
Like, you know, if you wipe down the baseboard or if you mow our lawn or if you, you know, do X, Y, Z for us.
So I don't know.
You sleep with Rosie and convince her the raccoon went home.
Gosh, seriously.
I should, I should pay Hattie to be an emotional support dog.
Every once in a while, like, I'll hear Rosie crying and we'll look at, like, the monitor on our phones.
And there's Hattie, like, consoling her in bed.
It's okay.
You're okay.
That's awesome.
I mean, it is truly, like, set a sweet relationship they have.
So, anyway, winter of the week.
That's fun.
Teaching kids about business.
Last but not least, we want to advertise for good ranchers.com.
Yep, tis the season.
Everyone's eaten.

Coming to Dieters, December 12th.
Your father's here.
Why?
A heartwarming new comedy from James L. Brooks.
I'm a different person.
I have never in my life out this way about any other woman.
Jesus! I wasn't counting your mother!
It's a perfect holiday comedy about an imperfect family.
You can use a scream, Ella.
Starring Emma Mackey, Jamie Lee Curtis, Camel Nanjani, Iowa Debrie with Albert Brooks and Woody Harrelson.
You should do that every afternoon.
Ella McKay.
Come, that's right.
Are you kidding me, Diamond?
Scene.
Educational thing I saw on Facebook of the week.
Oh, yeah.
Did you know?
So we talked about Facebook Marketplace last week.
So maybe you already know this.
Maybe other people know about this.
I saw post our local police department here.
They post on Facebook.
Like, just as a reminder, we have exchange parking spots.
I used it one time.
You did?
Yep.
Do you have this, Simon?
No, I don't know what that.
It got my attention.
what am I looking at exactly?
It's like a safe spot to conduct transactions, basically.
Like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace transactions.
There's like two parking spots that are like painted green.
It says like exchange spot.
It's in front of the police station.
There's cameras on them 24-7.
And it's in front of a police station.
So it's just like you just feel more safe and secure.
No one's going to try to pull anything.
And so I thought that was kind of neat.
Yeah, there was one time I sold a girl like this table.
I mean, for nothing.
It's always the people that you sell Facebook marketplace, like for nothing.
The least amount of money gives you the most amount of trouble.
Oh, that's, that'll preach, bro.
Um, the, yeah, I sold her a table and I like took the legs apart for her to like make, like,
there were just like four metal legs.
I took the legs apart for her to like help her move it easier.
And I accidentally only gave her three legs of the four.
And she was so convinced that I was like screwing her over.
Like she was like, it was like, it was like,
knew this would happen dude it was weird like she like started attacking me so hard like
and i was like just like i'll do whatever it takes to make it work right she's like
you you probably don't even have the fourth leg you probably knew this on purpose i knew you do this
i looked at your facebook you pig face you're like oh hey well that's easy with the insults
i'm trying to take testosterone pills for that she's throwing stuff around i don't know i i i like
i like i tried to be so kind to her so whatever i think i even maybe briefly mentioned this
at one point on the podcast.
But yeah, I was like...
I remember something about the legs.
Yes.
It's so annoying.
I can't remember exactly what happened, but, yeah, eventually, like, I think she suggested
it.
I don't know, maybe I was worried about it.
I was like, I was like, I was like willing to, like, come to her house.
I think that's what it was maybe.
I was like, I'll come to you.
I'll bring this to you.
She's like, nice try.
Yeah.
I'm not showing you where I live.
I was like, okay, let's meet at a gas station by your house.
I don't care.
He said, nice try.
I'm allergic to gas, and you knew that, didn't you?
Nice try, you freak.
yeah, just oil and gas, you probably
have a family from Texas.
Yeah, I do. Well, how'd you?
Yeah, what's wrong with that? Texas is not...
So she's like, let's meet at the
Shawnee Police Station just in case
you're going to do something. I was like, okay,
great. Great. I live in Shawnee, so jokes on you
is actually more convenient than a gas station.
It's seven minutes away from my house.
I was willing to drive like 40 minutes for you.
I'll be there with my gun.
It was so weird, dude.
Keep her on their toes.
It was like one of those times where I
was not nice to this person when I met up with him.
Here.
I was like, here you go.
I think my version of not nice, though, is like saying, have a great night, but not really
meaning it.
Here you go.
Have a great night.
Blessings to your family's Christmas season.
You hope you find Jesus if you don't already know them, but whatever.
Get out of my face.
It's all on camera somewhere.
All right.
So that's the one deal you've done there, the last leg.
The last leg.
Oh, man.
She just, I really hate it when people.
think I'm bad and I'm not bad.
Yeah, I think instead of getting out of their quick, I would have been like, all right,
here's your leg.
That's so quick.
Nice try.
So, yeah, what is this man you think I am?
Yes.
And where does this come from?
Oh, man.
How are you raised?
And you get into it with her.
Hired me up, dude.
Yeah.
I mean, whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, but yes, I know about those because of that.
Wow.
So you can do it.
More you know.
It is fun.
I kind of got in the algorithm a little bit with the,
Shawnee government as well.
Like they're talking about all the
the lights that they put on Shoney Mission Parkway.
You know those like snowflakes, I love those.
Yeah.
And people are talking about like, oh, we love this.
They gave an example or information on how long
they're going to be out and how hard it is to do.
And, you know, it stretches from this corridor,
this corridor. I'm like, cool.
Corridor.
Now we know.
Corridor.
It's a Marine corridor.
P.B. Corridor.
P.B. Corridor.
Anyway.
That's about all I have.
Okay.
Great.
Can I play a real quick game?
Real quick game.
I don't know how.
Basically, it made me think of it when you said Joe from Little Women.
I was thinking about naming Luke's kid Brad, all these different things.
I thought to myself, are there, how hard would it be to come up with five names?
Let's say five in 30.
No, five in 15 seconds.
Five names that are only male names.
Like these days, it feels like every name is like, oh, yeah, I can see.
I know a Logan.
Okay.
It's a girl.
So go ahead.
Try it.
All right.
I will say the first few I thought of could be girl names.
I think I'm going to go Jake.
Okay.
Good.
That's one.
Tommy, you can help.
Simon.
Peter.
Peter.
John.
Okay.
These are good.
Samuel.
Samuel.
Samuel.
Yes.
Sam, no.
Sam.
yeah Samantha yeah
Sammy Matthew
yeah okay those are good
you gotta go Gospical yeah Jeremy
Jeremy's good
but it is tough
the first few I thought of it was like Steve
I don't know Steve doesn't really work yeah
yeah
Hayden
Logan
all right non-biblical
non-biblical all male names
Colin
Colin's good
you think
I can imagine
well maybe Collins you heard Collins all that's true
That's true.
Yeah.
We know a Lady Collins.
Lady.
Lady.
She's like two years old.
Oh, Lady Collins.
Lady Collins, I bid a do.
Mr. Collins.
Her second birthday, that's how I roll up.
Lady Collins.
All right.
Non-biblical, all-mail names.
Um, um.
I'm just trying to think of Lex.
Evan.
Flexie.
Evan's not a girl name, is it?
100%.
I feel like there's girls out there.
I just say Alex has definitely a girl's name.
Evan?
Connor?
I know.
Jaden is so.
Lady Connor?
Both.
Lady Connor.
And she's like my age.
I don't know,
but I don't know if it's like common.
But still,
if you don't want, that's enough.
Jeez.
Lady Connor.
Hey, right.
It's funny how they have.
There's a lot of biblical names out there.
Graham.
That's good.
Count that.
It's funny how it hasn't really gone the opposite direction at all.
We're not taking the ladies' names.
This is kind of a Title IX situation.
It is exactly what Title IX is, I think.
Yeah, we're not like, hey, welcome to the world, our future linebacker, baby Sabrina.
I want to be Chelsea.
I want to be Chelsea.
I want to be a boy's name.
Right.
Baby.
It's British for boy.
Baby Brianna.
Our future night and shining armor.
Yeah, there's a lot more girls' names.
They're only girls' names.
guys names are only guys names are just biblical
yeah plus wait what was the one we thought of
Jeremiah what'd you say I said Jeremy
I said Jeremy I will say a lot of your friend's names
Zachary yeah or but Zach I don't know about
Zach's Zachary though Oliver
solid Grayden
Braden there probably isn't a girl I'm Graydon
I don't know do great anything that sounds like that
is great and Graydon it's like Utah's got some chicks
yeah there's there's they might spell with it E-I-G-H
Grayden
read in
yeah I don't know man
there's so many
honky donkey names these days
these douglas
Douglas
Douglas is a rough one for a girl
maybe I should think about that
I'm gonna insult some people
but it's like ugly names
would you say Tim?
I said Tim but that's probably short
for Timothy
what about
Garth
Garth and Keith
I feel back
those are guy names
if you're out there I'm so sorry
Lady Garth
it's crazy though
is I can imagine a Garth
I can't do, though.
Gartha.
So you said?
No, just Garth.
Garth.
Garth.
Garth.
Garth, Keith, Keith.
Keith.
What's that one guy's name?
Kiefer?
Kever Sutherland?
There'd be a girl named Kagan, wouldn't there?
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know a girl named Kagan.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
If you say the full names of some of the male, like Douglas, sounds crazy.
But if you say Dougie, Dougie, Dougie.
Dougie.
Welcome to the world, Dougie.
Brock.
Yeah.
brocks as strong as they come
no lady brocks you think are we just naming
i don't know trace christmas movie characters now
i'm are we i said gigan
Ethan
Ethan sounds like it could
you know why i actually thought of brock is because
brock purdy celebrated by doing the duggie
this post sunday and that's like where my brain
jumped to
george
dude a lot of georgias
but they're not different
georgie georgie
georgie is a girl in love on the spectrum
my mom's nickname
Georgia
Georgia I know a dog named Georgia
that doesn't count
yeah it's tough
anyway crazy a lot of names
yeah that is interesting though I never thought about how
the girls are taking a lot of ours
but we aren't taking many of them sure I'm sure there's some
examples of like dudes
going a little in the middle
but like it does
yeah I didn't think about that aspect of it of like
it's not both ways
when you think of the name Avery
do you think of a guy or a girl first?
Oh, that was like right in the middle, I feel like.
But I do feel like it's like, because I know 51% girl.
It's like white girl and black guy.
I know a girl, Avery.
But I definitely know a guy, Avery.
Really?
I thought of a guy.
Okay. Avery's good. That one's pretty in the middle ground, though.
Yeah. Like, what was it first?
Jamie is like pretty middle ground.
Taylor is pretty in the middle. I feel like.
Taylor definitely is. Whoa, Taylor is a good one.
Alex, of course.
Alex is in there.
Aaron, but different spells.
Of course.
Of course.
Of course.
Lady Aaron.
Anyway.
Well, comment of the week.
Mine's from Joy.
She says,
Therapist here.
We don't know.
We don't know.
Have to weigh in on the memory discussion.
Attachment style has a lot to do
with how much someone remembers their childhoods.
Memories are tied to feelings.
So if you tend to be an emotional avoider,
you'll probably have fewer or less detailed memories.
Joy, you nailed it again.
You've done it again.
You're an emotion,
what are they?
Yeah, I don't think I had never felt an emotion,
so that it does make sense.
Yeah, this Christmas will be your first time.
Yeah.
We're shooting videos yesterday.
Time was just humming to himself.
I'm like, are you seeing Christmas shoes to yourself?
Yeah.
It was on earlier.
They were playing it at the pickleball facility.
I've never, I don't think I've ever actually listened to that song of my own accord,
but I've heard it in a lot of places.
Really?
It's been forced on you.
Yep.
Still no emotions.
No.
This is a song about new shoes.
Jesse would love it.
face it,
have you guys
ever cried to a song
like because of the song?
Mark Schultz
talked about him recently
yeah
because I
a lot of my friends
are like
oh yeah
and I'm like
I had cried
walking her home
I had
once
the only time
that I had cried
at a song
was
the instrumental
the burning bush
from the Prince
of Egypt
randomly
instrumental
oh yeah
wow
Hans Zimmer dude
it was very random
though
it was unexpected
it was like
just like very emotional
for some reason
and then the song
Eustace Scrub
by Sarah Sparks
someone will know
like the other day
one person was the second song
I've ever cried to
Sarah Sparks
the lyrics
What position did she play?
It's and so
it's like inspired me
I think I'm gonna read
some of the Narnia books again
because that's a character from Narnia
it's like about
you and Bo him kind of
so we'll see
let's read together timing
yeah let's do it
we plunge into the bed
before you're
read, so. Okay. Oh, cold plunging will help your mood. We did a family plunge last night,
all six of us at once. It was wild. And then Bo proceeded to punch me in the face twice
out of excitement. And I got really mad at him. Yeah. So why'd you do that?
Catherine was like, he was just excited. I was like, he punched me in the face. Yeah, you don't
punch people where you're excited. What do? You don't, you don't do that. You shoulder them at a
KU game. Yeah, fair. Or is he shoulder, then you high five. Yeah, you shoulder. Yeah,
that's fine. Um, bonus comment, Ellie Jennings says, naming my next dog,
I love that idea.
Excuse me.
Have I ever cried a song?
I don't think so.
Well, I have cried during worship
and worship is, yeah,
with songs.
Does that count as a song,
Timon?
Does worship count as a song?
Yeah.
Okay, then yes.
For sure.
Yeah.
I do see why the question is the thing.
It's not as much about the music,
obvious.
I mean, it is accompanied to music.
Yeah, but there's more of an experience.
tied to it.
Yeah, it's like a spiritual connection.
Yeah, I'm thinking more like,
yeah, I just maybe like all like alone
and it's just like I happen to cry to a song.
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I've gotten,
but I just found it strange
because I think I,
I think I cry at movies more often
than these friends,
but they cry at songs more often than me.
So maybe I'm an emotional avoider.
Maybe, man.
Is that what that means?
I sent you guys a song yesterday.
It was the guy who made the NBA on NBC song,
whatever, and it was him playing.
He called him,
Like in the 90s, he called his home phone, left himself a voicemail.
He's like, I have this idea.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
And he's just like doing that.
And then he plays that on stage.
I got me hyped watching that video.
Doom, doom, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Yeah.
And he goes to the piano.
Oh, so good.
So, so good.
The first time I heard about John Tesh was he was like a radio DJ.
But only like during the Christmas season did Kansas City get his like radio show.
at late at night he had a beautiful nice nice talking voice and he would just play
Christmas songs and like play little games along the way that's nice I love this guy
there's a funny um S&L skit where they basically are parody in that video I've seen
that Tim Robinson and what's his name yeah oh is it mm-hmm he's one of the guys okay
yeah yeah and he's like singing as I was I was I was saying it's Jason Seddakas yeah
they're like singing the lyrics to it give me the basketball
whatever, something like that.
My comment is Madison Gastal, 7983.
It's a YouTube comment.
Just found out I'm in the top 5% on Ghostrunner Spotify listeners,
and I've never even commented.
As a freshman in college, hey, Timon,
who's living on her own for the first time in her life.
This podcast has helped me feel more at home.
I listen to all almost every three-hour drive to and from school
and always puts me in a good mood.
Thanks, Jake and Braden, Timon, for brightening my day,
making me laugh, and for making the transition easier.
P.S., timing was my most.
my second most streamed artist, but I
mostly listen to podcasts. Not so much
to music, so it doesn't mean anything crazy.
Still cool. Still cool. That's still for you. I didn't even need to say that last part.
Because I
It's pretty well, it's still getting streams. It's like over
7,000 by now. Yeah, bud. It's because it's awesome. Thank you.
Yeah, it's at the top of the awesome meter.
Yeah. It's a 10 out of 10, pal.
I've been saying Toots to Addie recently.
Toots.
Listen, Tuts.
