Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:08 How much? Boggle. Yatsi. Uno. Uno. No mercy. Have you ever played Uno mercy? No mercy.
Starting point is 00:00:17 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
Starting point is 00:00:31 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.
Starting point is 00:00:47 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.
Starting point is 00:01:07 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.
Starting point is 00:01:26 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.
Starting point is 00:01:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:28 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.
Starting point is 00:02:41 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.
Starting point is 00:02:58 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:29 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...
Starting point is 00:03:45 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
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:34 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:17 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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?
Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:24 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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?
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:54 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:55 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:26 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.
Starting point is 00:08:37 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.
Starting point is 00:08:55 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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,
Starting point is 00:09:19 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.
Starting point is 00:09:31 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:00 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.
Starting point is 00:10:14 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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
Starting point is 00:11:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:02 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?
Starting point is 00:12:16 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.
Starting point is 00:12:35 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.
Starting point is 00:12:57 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.
Starting point is 00:13:27 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?
Starting point is 00:13:46 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
Starting point is 00:14:23 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.
Starting point is 00:14:50 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?
Starting point is 00:15:27 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.
Starting point is 00:15:47 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?
Starting point is 00:16:05 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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?
Starting point is 00:16:37 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.
Starting point is 00:16:56 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.
Starting point is 00:17:23 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.
Starting point is 00:17:34 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.
Starting point is 00:17:42 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?
Starting point is 00:17:57 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
Starting point is 00:18:09 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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.
Starting point is 00:18:33 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?
Starting point is 00:18:47 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 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.
Starting point is 00:19:53 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.

Starting point is 00:24:58 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
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:04 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:26:54 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.
Starting point is 00:27:02 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
Starting point is 00:27:16 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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.
Starting point is 00:28:31 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.
Starting point is 00:28:48 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.
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:28 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:43 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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.
Starting point is 00:31:12 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,
Starting point is 00:31:30 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.
Starting point is 00:31:48 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.
Starting point is 00:31:59 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.
Starting point is 00:32:15 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
Starting point is 00:32:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:03 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.
Starting point is 00:33:13 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.
Starting point is 00:33:20 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
Starting point is 00:33:41 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
Starting point is 00:34:26 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
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:17 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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
Starting point is 00:36:10 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
Starting point is 00:36:52 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
Starting point is 00:37:26 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.
Starting point is 00:37:38 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.
Starting point is 00:37:49 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
Starting point is 00:38:01 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
Starting point is 00:38:11 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,
Starting point is 00:38:24 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.
Starting point is 00:38:37 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.
Starting point is 00:38:46 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
Starting point is 00:39:20 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.
Starting point is 00:39:56 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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
Starting point is 00:40:57 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
Starting point is 00:41:34 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.

Starting point is 00:45:13 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.
Starting point is 00:45:25 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.
Starting point is 00:45:38 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
Starting point is 00:46:08 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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
Starting point is 00:46:44 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
Starting point is 00:47:15 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
Starting point is 00:47:32 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.
Starting point is 00:48:05 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
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:39 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.
Starting point is 00:49:00 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.
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:49:52 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
Starting point is 00:50:11 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
Starting point is 00:50:31 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
Starting point is 00:50:38 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.
Starting point is 00:50:48 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.
Starting point is 00:50:58 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?
Starting point is 00:51:31 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?
Starting point is 00:51:41 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.
Starting point is 00:51:56 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?
Starting point is 00:52:07 Oliver's house. Okay. Great. Just great hosting venue. Pretty big table or? Yeah. Pretty solid. Like well, well made table, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:17 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.
Starting point is 00:52:26 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.
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:55 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.
Starting point is 00:53:05 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.
Starting point is 00:53:23 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
Starting point is 00:53:36 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
Starting point is 00:53:50 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
Starting point is 00:54:01 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.
Starting point is 00:54:08 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.
Starting point is 00:54:15 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?
Starting point is 00:54:21 Yeah. I don't know. Okay, how about a fruit bar? Yeah, I'll get a fruit bar. You know, Like, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:54:27 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
Starting point is 00:54:52 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
Starting point is 00:55:01 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,
Starting point is 00:55:10 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.
Starting point is 00:55:16 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
Starting point is 00:55:26 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
Starting point is 00:55:50 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
Starting point is 00:56:26 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.
Starting point is 00:56:41 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
Starting point is 00:57:02 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.
Starting point is 00:57:33 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.
Starting point is 00:57:51 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. Tis?

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.
Starting point is 01:00:59 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.
Starting point is 01:01:13 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?
Starting point is 01:01:23 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.
Starting point is 01:01:41 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,
Starting point is 01:02:06 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
Starting point is 01:02:34 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.
Starting point is 01:02:55 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.
Starting point is 01:03:08 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
Starting point is 01:03:18 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.
Starting point is 01:03:35 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.
Starting point is 01:03:49 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.
Starting point is 01:04:07 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,
Starting point is 01:04:21 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?
Starting point is 01:04:32 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.
Starting point is 01:04:42 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.
Starting point is 01:04:54 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.
Starting point is 01:05:08 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?
Starting point is 01:05:20 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.
Starting point is 01:05:46 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.
Starting point is 01:05:58 I think I'm going to go Jake. Okay. Good. That's one. Tommy, you can help. Simon. Peter. Peter.
Starting point is 01:06:07 John. Okay. These are good. Samuel. Samuel. Samuel. Yes. Sam, no.
Starting point is 01:06:15 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
Starting point is 01:06:27 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
Starting point is 01:06:40 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.
Starting point is 01:06:49 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.
Starting point is 01:07:08 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.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Evan? Connor? I know. Jaden is so. Lady Connor? Both. Lady Connor. And she's like my age.
Starting point is 01:07:32 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.
Starting point is 01:07:41 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.
Starting point is 01:07:54 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.
Starting point is 01:08:07 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
Starting point is 01:08:26 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
Starting point is 01:08:43 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
Starting point is 01:08:57 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
Starting point is 01:09:06 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?
Starting point is 01:09:13 No, just Garth. Garth. Garth. Garth. Garth, Keith, Keith. Keith. What's that one guy's name? Kiefer?
Starting point is 01:09:22 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.
Starting point is 01:09:30 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
Starting point is 01:09:42 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
Starting point is 01:09:59 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
Starting point is 01:10:13 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
Starting point is 01:10:28 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.
Starting point is 01:10:45 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.
Starting point is 01:10:59 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.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Lady Aaron. Anyway. Well, comment of the week. Mine's from Joy. She says, Therapist here. We don't know. We don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:21 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.
Starting point is 01:11:39 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.
Starting point is 01:11:51 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.
Starting point is 01:12:03 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
Starting point is 01:12:12 like because of the song? Mark Schultz talked about him recently yeah because I a lot of my friends are like oh yeah
Starting point is 01:12:19 and I'm like I had cried walking her home I had once the only time that I had cried at a song
Starting point is 01:12:26 was the instrumental the burning bush from the Prince of Egypt randomly instrumental oh yeah
Starting point is 01:12:33 wow Hans Zimmer dude it was very random though it was unexpected it was like just like very emotional for some reason
Starting point is 01:12:39 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
Starting point is 01:12:50 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
Starting point is 01:12:59 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
Starting point is 01:13:15 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?
Starting point is 01:13:43 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.
Starting point is 01:13:55 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.
Starting point is 01:14:07 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.
Starting point is 01:14:18 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.
Starting point is 01:14:29 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.
Starting point is 01:14:43 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.
Starting point is 01:14:55 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
Starting point is 01:15:36 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.
Starting point is 01:15:55 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.
