I got to give a big shout out to Cody Davis. Okay. And I'll tell you why. Once again, something that happened 30 seconds before we started rolling on the cameras. So I've been enjoying the last 24 hours. I'll call it tantalizing my audience. Oh. Friday has a big announcement, which is already happened by the time you're listening to this.

But we, and I've even teased this on the podcast, like we're trying to sign a top pro player for the first time ever. We've been very lean as the company. We haven't spent any money. This is kind of our first big bet, first big, you know, risk or investment. So we signed like one of the best players in the world. that was one of the reasons that went down to Florida. She's based out of Tampa. Her name's Rachel Rohrabacher.

So to lead up to this announcement that's coming this week, every day I'm posting little snippets of like, who do you think it is? Coming four days, three days. And it's kind of fun to see like people actually like care about it. And they're sitting in their guesses. Annalie Waters is it Catherine Prento? Could it be Rachel Rorbocker? People are kind of aware whose paddle contracts are up. Okay.

But not that many people have guessed who we actually signed. Yeah. but Cody Davis, I'm assuming, like, kind of trying to be funny, like, is it Rachel, your wife is in the comments being like, it's Rachel, it's Rachel. I'm like, Cody, you only knew, you're nailing it, dude. Her name is Rachel. You're kind of borderline blowing the cover. Hey, man. Yeah.

They like, see that you follow Cody Davis, too. You're like, oh, well, so he knows then. Guys, it's Rachel. It's Rachel. I know Jake. He told me. Yeah. Here's a picture of me and Jake together last year.

So he trusts me with insider info. Trust me, guys. It's Rachel. You're going to love her. She punches pillows. Uh, uh, oh, oh, I think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along.

Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because it's a ghost from his podcast. Rachel Roarbaum. Rachel Roerbocker. Yeah, part of the Friday team now. That's the best person named Roerbocker I've ever met. And that's what I told her. Yeah. That's fun. Part of one of the, we did a little sit down interview with what now time? I did kick it, timing. That was my fault. I kicked it. I kicked it.

I did a little interview with her and for the most part. It was pretty serious. But I tried to throw on a few fun questions. And I was like, all right, now I really pushed to get you signed. there was one thing I was hesitant about. Can you guess what it is? That's funny. Gosh, I don't know. And I was like, look in the mirror. Legs.

Yeah. No, let's make yourself conscious. I was like, when I was little, I had a speech impediment with my arms. So your last name, your full name is pretty terrifying. Yes. How many, how often are you going to mess that up? I don't know. A couple.

It'll happen. It'll happen. It'll be a flare up in traffic. Dude, let's talk more about that and then I have something to say. Or do you worry? Are you ready for it now? Yeah, I think that's it. It's been fun to tantalize people.

I'm excited to see how it goes and see. Go ahead. Okay. Speech impediments. Got it. I, like many people these days, are using this thing called chat GPT. Got it. What is the guy from England?

Have you heard him the way he's like, chat GPT? Oh, what's his name? Boris something. He's like the prime minister, I think. Oh, Boris Johnson? Have you heard him say chat GPT? No, I've heard his name, though. Pull it up real quick.

Boris Johnson and chat GPT. Like the way he says it is so. hilarious. Anyway, find that real quick time. But in the meantime, I have been, I do the, I talk to chat, G. I do like the conversation a lot. Do you do that? Here in there.

Okay. My guy is, I think he sounds just like Nate Taylor, aka he sounds like a little bit of a brother. Yeah. All right. Hey, what's going on? Hey, what's going on? No, it's, it's a pretty normal voice, but like, anyway, recently, I don't know if

it's just like he's, he can't keep up with his words or what. but he has a speech impediment sometimes. That is odd. Is that ever happened to you? I haven't noticed that in my guy. Too realistic. I'm trying to think about, like, and it was really like one time that I can really truly remember it,

but it was multiple responses in a row on like one drive that I was like, what's going on with you, man? Yeah. Are you having a stroke? It was like, it was like, uh, yeah, it was like December 26th.

So maybe he had partied too much, you know, too much nog. A little too much on the, yeah, a little too much rum, not enough nog. Yeah. So for most recreational woodworking. It was kind of like that. It wasn't like, sometimes it was like, I think he would say a W instead of R, but a lot of times it was just like, you know, it's a recreational woodworking.

Like, it's like, what? I wonder if that's a legit bug. Like he just, like, his energy levels go down. Dude, it was up too much RAM. It was really interesting. And it felt like sometimes it was like he was getting too excited and saying the words too fast or something. And it couldn't kind of kind of jumbled over his words or something.

Like to the point where I thought like, You know how we talked about the robot and how the robot doesn't really work, so it's just going to be a guy in India just controlling the robot. I was like, is this just an actual person reading this off? This is wild. That is pretty funny. Anybody else? No.

I haven't noticed it. No? Do you ever talk to him like that? Where he talks back? Oh, I've never noticed any slurring. But you talk to him sometimes. Sometimes. Okay.

No, it was this one like time. that I noticed it, but it was, it was at least eight different times while that we had this conversation. How you looked anything up online? Has this happened to people? I don't know.

Did you find it time? This is me looking stuff online. See how. I love AI. Do you use AI? Absolutely. Use Chachipiti. I love Chachipiti.

I love it. Chachipiti is fantastic. I don't think he's trying to be funny. Use Chachipiti. Chichipiti. I love it. Use Chichipit. Contonets only.

Chichipiti. that's pretty great because I was like he's you know hey thanks for using jichipit it's almost like it's just like

sound effects not even a real word it's almost like you're just beatboxing that's pretty funny oh Boris but yeah just very interesting I don't know

and I don't know if I can I guess I could screen record it or something and prove it to somebody that is funny Yeah. I like talking to chat GPT. I don't like it talking back.

I want the information way quicker. But there's not a way to go talk in, text out, really. Yeah. Really? I thought you can just like basically do like Siri. See a transcript of it, right? Yeah, you can just like.

All right. I'll try it. Or actually, yeah, because it's not going to, for some reason, I feel like it understands me better than like the Apple voice to text. The voice to text. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?

For some reason, I'm like, If I go to the actual talk back to me mode, it'll know what I'm saying better. Is that true? I don't think so. It feels like it has better intelligence listening to me. Yeah. Oh, really?

Like, I think it would be using a different intelligence, like, engine than it's built in Apple one when it's listening to me. Yeah, I think the voice of text is using Apple software. Right. Using Chad GPT voice is using AI to listen. I feel like, yeah, I feel like when I talk to chip to, it's going to hear my inflections better or something. Yeah.

I don't know, man. Maybe not. I've done it a few. few times where I just, yeah, just transcribe everything I say and I just talk. And I'll be like, I mean, not like that. I mean, like, and I'll like, but it's pretty good though. And it's still like overarching gets it. Especially if I kind of explain it twice. Like, oh, no, I didn't mean like like that. Like the house is in Overland Park, uh, but you know, it's, but I'm doing an Airbnb short term rental, you know, whatever. Yes, it has eight TVs. Stop asking me to confirm that number.

Yes, two of them are 75 inches. I don't even know where the second one's going to go yet. hopefully we have a mild summer and a warm winter i'm up to throw it outside yeah just you find somewhere dig it dig a hole dig a hole and put it the tv in there called a tv hole chat jb t could be quicker responding though for sure like it adds a bunch of uh and like doesn't it add kind of like what does filler words did you it does a little bit yeah yeah that's why i just want to i want to read it get through the fluff get through the like the initial buttering me up right and get to the answer uh they they they don't butter you up as much in the voice.

They might just be like, yeah, yeah, great question. You know, and then just get into it or something like that. I don't know if it's because they have the pro version, maybe just the 5.2 iteration. But it asked me recently, like, how I would like it to respond. I had like four options. Have you guys seen this yet? Hey, here's two different responses. Which one do you like better?

No, this is like a personality test. It's like, do you want me to be bubbly and supportive? Do you want me to be reflective and? Oh, interesting. Moody. Do you want to be to be on my menstrual cycle? That was an option. I was like, why are they putting that in here?

And you're like, I'd rather you not, actually. Yeah, so I said no to that. Yeah. I said, like, direct and honest or direct and firm or something. Okay. I don't need the initial. Great thought, Jake. Yeah, I wonder if that's because you've subscribed to something differently,

or if you've kind of gotten on to it a few times. Honestly. Because, like, all right, I clearly have offended you. Well, yeah, there's a few times where I will say, like, because sometimes, every time you ask it a question, Yeah, it loves to be like, that's a great question. You're on the right track. Let me break this down.

And you're on the, you're thinking right to be thinking that. And then at the end of it, it'll prompt you with seven more like, do you want me to create a hard PDF of this? Do you want me to, you know, workshop this more? A medium rare PDF of this. What is that?

What is happening here? And so there was a few times where I say, one word answer only. And then I'll say this. Like, just give me a direct answer. You know, what is this? and they'll just, they'll do one word. And so now when it responds, it will at the end of it, be like,

here's the direct truth and just say one, like, one little thing. Do you want me in one word mode today, boss? Yeah, so it's almost like it's learning me at least. That's good. Yeah. Which makes it harder to switch because like Gemini is looking pretty good lately. Claude, you speak a high game of them. I'm like, but Chagipit knows like how much debt I owe on my house already.

And it knows that where Friday pickleballs at. It's like, I got to start all over with someone else. I wonder if you could agent mode. Hey, Jim and I say, hey, go to Chachachipit. And learn me. Yeah. Maybe. Who knows?

Discover me. Explore me. Yeah. Get into every nook and cranny of my Gertipiti. Yeah. Plunder my dungeon. Of, plunder my dunge.

Of information I've given Chetipati. You know who my favorite followers recently? There's a guy, all of his content is just messing with. I love this guy. He's so funny. Yeah. All right. I'm glad you know.

We can help explain it to the Gose season bad. So he will put himself in, like, fake scenarios, but trying to, like, almost, like, catch chat GBT making, like, poor ethical decisions or poor, like... Okay. So, example, like, hey, I'm about to get hit by a car. What should I do? I doubt you're actually going to be hit. No, I am. He's, like, he's, like, seconds away. Like, what should I do? It's, like, stuff like that, right? He's so dry with how he does it. It's so funny.

The car one is what I can think of. And that one, he even, like, had his friend, like, pulling up his car so we could, like, show chat GPT. Keep sending him pictures. Yeah. He's like, it just ran me over. What do I do? It's like,

you just look like you're pretty close to the car. You're probably not actually, no, like, I'm in really bad pain. Okay. Yeah,

I can't think of other examples, but anyway, he's a great follow. I don't even know how to search it, but whatever. Just like all these just like, funny little dilemmas to put chat GBT in.

Yeah. He is like running through them. Interesting. One of my, Tate, our friend, the other day said, he saw some video of

somebody being like, hey, my in-laws are very, like, far-left-leaning. Like, what are some good gifts? Have you seen this? No. I don't know if it's saying. And they're like, absolutely, here's some great gifts for them. And then they do the same prompt, but they said, my in-laws are very far right. What kind of gifts would you recommend? And it'd be like, I'm not allowed to tell you. No. Of course, Tate found this. Yeah, I know. Right. Tate's or Derek on this podcast. I thought that was really interesting, though. And then Tate also claims this. I don't, I, I, I, I, need to look into this myself, but Tate read some novel, some book

about basically like the danger of AI. I think it was called Against the Machine. It was a British guy. Chichibit. And then Tate, being Tate, was like, I got some thoughts. I need to like process through a few of these thoughts verbally.

I'm going to tell Chachapit about it. And Chetchipit is like, I have no recollection. I don't know what that book is. And insert X-Files music. Yeah. I. I did use your example of like,

I think maybe they're just bad at like movies and like media and stuff because Jake had an example with this Tom Hanks movie. Yeah, Forrest Gump and Green Mile. You're like, oh, it's definitely this scene. And you're like, no, it's not. I know Forrest Gump. It's not from that. Yeah, you're right.

I'm sorry. And so I was like, maybe they just don't know how to find that stuff very well. But if you Google, I think against the machine, you can find it pretty easily. It's pretty sketchy. But it's against AI. So it's like. So then somebody else, one of our other friends, asked Jitipiti, the same thing. And they said, yeah, it's a good thing.

But here are all the critics of it or something. Yeah, whatever. But interesting stuff. It's fascinating. Wild times. Wild times, man. Raise your hand here if you are on Ozympic. Oh, gosh.

Raise your hand if your uncle is on Ozimic. Oh, gosh. My coach? Raise your hand if your uncle is mixing together a couple different, weight loss drugs. Osypic being one of them. Yeah. GLP one cocktail. Yeah, he's got that cooking up.

Learn that over Christmas. Cranberry vodka with Ozipik in there. Really? I don't remember what is going on. Well, he claims he's on the right track. He just started it. Every time I see him, he has just started. You never see the results.

It's like I'm on day four. Yes. But yeah, just some personal story. I've heard from my dad. He's like, I was with him on day one, and he swore it's already working. No, I'm not even going to go in. You guys are going to McDonald's.

I don't want anything. And then he said the second he got back to the car, John is begging just one bite. One bite's all I ask for. And that's it. See, I'm getting better. All I need is one bite. No, dude.

Come on. No, hey, let just let me smell it. Let me smell it in my mouth real quick. So let me put in my mouth and smell it and I'll give it back. I should text him and see how it's work. but really anyway yeah it was like one i'm not surprised at all that he's trying this and two i'm kind of not surprised that he's like trying his own concoction of multiple like off brand ozimics together as one can't wait to see how that goes yeah what does that even do like it just makes you less hungry

like three times less hungry i have no idea what if it offsets each other you know too yeah who knows how i've no idea what to expect but yeah it doesn't seem very on brand for a coach john yeah what else what else happened in Stratford? You guys spent some time with them? It was great. I golfed with my dad on Christmas Eve because I was 70 degrees out. That was fun. Had a blast.

I feel like time at Stratford is just great because we just like, we just sit around and just like talk. The Coupes, all we do is game. We're nonstop gaming. And I feel like the triplets and Fulbright's, we just sit around and joke and talk and everything. So it's both very fun in their own right. So yeah, just caught up, laughed a bunch, joked. I mean, played a little driveway pickleball. Nice.

which is a mockery to the sport of Picklewall, what we're doing out there. It's nowhere near the dimensions. There's no kitchen. John always reminds you, only rule is, there ain't no rules. And then he serves.

And then it's just like, what are we doing? GLP one. But then, yeah, I mean, he's, I've mentioned before on the podcast. He's got like a,

you know, a pig's, you know, half a pig's heart in his body. So his heart rate's pretty high. So we play about half a game and he needs to rest. And so then we get to talk more.

So did remember what he fell so hard at your bachelor's. He's like bloody his pinky somehow on the trash can. Honestly, every time you say they has a pig heart, I remember that exact. I have that visual in my head of him falling. And I think to myself, he should have probably died right. Like the way he fell so hard, was it into a trash can? Yeah, it was into like a hollow trash, the loudest trash can.

Oh, it was great. It was one of those times where like you think, oh, he'll stop. He'll slow down. Oh, he's about to catch his. It was like he gained momentum the longer he was like running towards the trash can. Like he got faster. Just ate it.

Oh, he like dove into it when it was done. I mean, I would have been so lightheaded. I would have been gone. It would have been. I will say when it comes to our bachelor party, I don't think that sticks out to him. What he's embarrassed by that he still brings up to me, he was like, gosh.

Wait, let me guess it. What could even be? I don't even. You might remember it once I tell you, but. Was it when he hit Harrison in the face? Yes. Yes. He was like, what's your buddy's name who I just smoked in the face, not knowing dodgeball rolls?

Oh, that was Harrison. That was Harrison. Timon, have you ever played just like PE Dodgeball of any kind? I have before, yes. Okay, so pretty common, I guess, especially if you grow up playing Pee, it's like you run to the center and each team tries to collect as many dodge balls as possible. And then there's normally some sort of grace period, like go back and then like reset before you start this like revolutionary warfare. Yeah. Just kind of some common courtesy.

Yeah. A gentleman's like, yeah. Well, John, he didn't hear that. And he thought he'd found a little loophole in the game.

So, I mean, he sprints up, credit to him. I was just like, what, what, what,

50-some-year-old man in his right mind is sprinting against all these 20-year-olds? Yeah, he's 61 years old, sprint, dive, gets the ball,

and then he sees Harrison six inches in front of him. It's like, easy target. Yeah, nice try, Bucco. Just smokes Harrison in the face.

He's like, there's one, you're out. Bro, like, whoa, Whoa. Am I making it up that Harry felt like he was like partially blind for us? Like he was like...

I think he was a little scared for a little bit. He's like, no, no, I'm okay. I just... Yeah. I can't see super well out of my right now. I think he ended up being fun. But yeah, I think it's scared him for a little bit. This random gym that we found.

That was a great find. It was a perfect dodgeball gym. It was like... Great dodgeball gym. It was like 5 eighths the size of a normal gym. Yeah. And so it was just like this tiny little like secluded thing. It was so small.

it was kind of at your advantage to just throw the ball as hard as you could because it was going to come back off the wall to you. Yeah. So you had to dodge it and then immediately get back in front of where the ball would come off the wall. To grab it. Yeah, to keep the ball. Yeah, that was fun. Anyway, John's doing great. That's amazing.

Yeah. Had fun with him. So, yeah, I mean, he'd get tired quickly. But then what would happen is just like me, there was one day where just me, Rachel and John just sat in the driveway, Chris Cross Apples all for an hour, just us three and talked. It was a great time. Just sitting there talking. I love Rachel and my Uncle John's relationship. They've started picking on each other from time of time.

And it's very fun. It just, I wouldn't have expected that to be Rachel's relationship with my uncle. But yeah, we show up for Christmas dinner. And John is dressed in like a black, like dry fit shirt and black sweatpants and all black shoes. And Rachel is like dressed really nice.

Yeah. And the second they both see each other, they instantly just start making fun of each other. Like at the same time, Rachel goes, how was your, what she said? How was the game you refereed earlier? And at the same time, John goes, well, look here, you look different. He's like, I was starting to feel bad for Jake earlier. I guess she played pickleball in sweats or something.

Yeah, I love that. Yeah, they just constantly make fun of each other's physical appearance. It's great. Yeah, you stagehand in the local musical or what's going on here? Yeah, you had Tour Ranger Tom's closet? Where'd you get all that stuff, dude? Like on black on black. I love that.

That's interesting that you guys, you're more of the talking family. She's more of the active family. Because, like, I may not active, but games. Because when I married Catherine, her family, who's also, I would call your family Southern. I know you're like Southwest Missouri. Yeah. I think your family, Southwest Missouri, I think is Southern.

And I think your family just has like Southern. Yeah. There's something about your dad. I would say so. Yeah. And they just love to talk, man. Catherine's family loves to talk. And for a while, I was like, this is all we do.

We're sitting around. We go all the way to the beach, just sit there and talk, you know? I'm like, let's go run around and do stuff. And my family, yeah, growing up, we were all about board games and, yeah, playing stuff and all that stuff. Yeah. So. And we still played some games.

I think about it. We did a ping pong tournament. We played Jackbox TV. Okay. We tried to do it. We forgot to bring the wavelength game, tried to do the app, not the same on the app. Oh, really? recommend it. Okay. Yeah. So we still

get after some games. Yeah. But yeah, Coops are like marathon of Settlers of Catan where the whole family knows how to play Cities and Knights version. Yeah, that's intense. I cannot imagine trying to teach my dad or Uncle John how to play Settlers of Catan. Oh my gosh. I might as well teach them how to fly a spaceship.

They're going to pass away before they learn this. They will die of old age before they learn this. I would pay $3 for you to FaceTime me. and watch that. I would. I would pay a little bit of money

to like just hear some of their comments and just hear your dad. Just the complaining. The constant complaining. Honestly, I pay $3 to hear your dad say the word what. I love the way he says, what? Or you know you'd say wheat a lot. Yeah.

So I get to trade wheat for, was it rock? You call rock, I guess. Sure, yeah. Called War, but. Yeah, what do you get? Are you a seller's guy? I'm not a seller's guy, but I've played. Okay.

What do you guys call the, I think you and I are, you taught me. Do you know that? No. Yeah. Everything I know, learn from you. Wow. You better win then. Truly, when I was teaching the coops, which was terrifying, I go to like, oh, yeah, it's family Thanksgiving. I'll go home. And the next thing you know, I'm like, I'm in charge of teaching settlers. Like, I mean, I've, probably my second time ever in Iowa. Yeah.

I'm like, I've played it. But like, I learned it secondhand for, but I've played it five times. Okay. You know, yeah. It's everything I'm telling them. I'm like reaching for what you have told me, you know, and like the six person version. I'm like special. And I want to say it's role trade by. You know, everything. I'm like, yeah, I think bread is big on this. That might be more of a house rule for me. Does you know that? I don't know if that's one of my friends is like, technically you can do that at any time.

You know, technically it's special, special build, not special by, you know, with all these different things. Settler number two. Yeah. Well, it's coop rules now. But yeah, what do you guys call resources? Like the different. Wood, wheat, or sheep, brick. Yeah.

I don't know anything besides those. Yeah. You look through the pamphlets. and they got grain? They call it timber these days? Whoa. I don't know. I don't know.

The woke left is taken over everything. I'm asking. I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised, but I wouldn't be surprised. Every time I watch like a British woodworking video, they're like, now you want to take your rough piece of timber. And I'm like, dang it. That sounds kind of fun.

Yeah, the way you say timber is nice. Timba. Yeah. Some dry timber. And a lot of people like to say rock. I like, I'm an ore guy. Yeah, or. Let's decorate it up a little.

It's weird, though, because like, timber and ore are the same category. And then it'd be rock and wood. But I would say ore and wood is the right combination. You're right. I hear what you're saying. Like ore seems too fancy, but it's not rock. It's ore. It's a specific type of rock.

Yeah. Whereas brick, you don't get a specific brick. It's just brick. No. Yeah. Yep. But, man, Settlers is... I put myself up against about anybody in Settlers. The original. I feel like I am pretty good at settlers.

The thing is, though, it's a little bit like I guess most sports where it's like, it's not truly an individual thing though. Like of other people are trading willy-nilly. It's like, you can't stop them when we're trading. Brother, yes,

you can. That's, that's, that's, you can't, I hear what you're saying. But you can. You're saying with,

with words, you can shame them. That's part of why I love it. It's like, yeah, it depends on how intense you want to get with it. But I remember playing with the coops. And I wanted to be like,

I should say some things here. They're just trading everything. And it was like, they like to trade. She has nine points. She has nine points. She's going to win if you trade with her. Don't do it.

Oh, good. I need that. All right. Yeah. Yeah, but that's what's fun. It's like, all right. Let's figure this out. Let's talk about it.

Let's, you know, let's lobby against this person, whatever. So I can get a little intense in settlers, but it's so fun. It's coming from inside the house. Oh, somebody here? I hear them. I'm not going to say. Don't say in any language. Jake's got a house cleaner here.

It's. Miss Debbie. She went to my home. She made it home. She made it to Jake's home. Jake's future home. Oh, man. I got a few other just rapid fire things to say.

At the end of the last semester, Rachel got some gifts from students. One of them is this mug. It says best person ever, which is like a nice thing to get, but like, is Rachel supposed to just drink this? You see this? World's best boss.

I am the best person. Another one was a crumble cookie set of like, body wash, shampoo, deodorant, crumble cookie themed. Okay. Well, Scott was coming over like two days after Rachel got this. And Rachel had the idea, she's like, oh, this would be great. Let's like, we can like just give this to Palmer.

Scott comes over. I go, before you forget, let me give you this now. Rachel's so at the house. And he goes, dude, I would love this. I was like, oh, we were thinking for Palmer. He's like, dude, I would love it. Like, I guess that's your gift then. So I need to follow up with them.

I mean, it's just like confetti, cupcake. It's exactly what you're imagining. Deodorant. He's like, dude, this is going to be sick. Just so on brand. Scott. So, so on brand. He was so excited.

This is sick, dude. Dude, I didn't know. Actually, he might have said, like, dude, I heard about this. I would think it was one of those. Like, oh, I heard they were doing a limited edition drop with dove. I got to get my hands on this. That was a special, special moment to see in person. man, he was fired up.

I can just see Scott, like, showing you off. Like, works pretty great. Real, yeah, real fun fetti. Oh, Scotty. Rachel gets, yeah, some good gifts. Is that like a thing, like Christmas time now? Like, give your- It probably depends on, like, maybe the school district or the culture or whatever,

but yeah, she got a lot of good stuff. Or just, like, quantity at least. Like, wow, so many students are getting their counselor a gift. That's impressive. I don't think we were doing that. No, I don't think ever. Like, no. And now I think it's like becoming more normal.

Yeah, back in our day, yeah, you think you got problems? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm getting dunked in the toilet. I got no counselor. Yeah, I'm going to get bullied for going to the counselor. It's going to make it worse. Dude, did you know anybody that got a swirley ever? Never saw it firsthand for sure.

Never really heard it's secondhand. Timon, you heard of swirlies? What I think, yeah, I think I know what that is. Like, I feel like there's, like, certain things that Catherine as a homeschooler like thought, hey, here's what, here's what school is. You, you, uh, you go to your locker all the time. You have, you know, like you walk from class to class outside. And yeah, there's bullies everywhere and you get swirlies. Yeah. And Drake's in a wheelchair. Yeah. You got that kid. It's like none of it. Zero, zero percent swirlies. Yeah, it was like, surely there are bullies everywhere.

Bullies everywhere. Stuffed in lockers. That's another thing. It would be like, our lockers are like like the size of like six books. Like you could not stuff the smallest kid in the locker. And the bullies, it wouldn't be just like insults. Like they would beat you up all the time. And with Letterman's jackets. Yeah. Yeah.

That's how you knew who the boys were. And every once in while, there'd be like a big fight and all these kids would gather around to watch this fight. No one's breaking it up. Teachers nowhere to be found. Teachers are so far away that it takes them too long before they're already fighting. Yeah. 100%.

Yeah, that's how I grew up. Yep. I knew it. How do you remember anything, though, public school-wise? Like, I remember there was one time these kid got in a fight. And it was like a, I don't even know if it was like a true fight, but it was like they got mad at each other. And then this kid like ran away. It was at lunchtime.

And he ran away by standing on the tables and jumping from table to table to get away. And then I remember the two like people that were in charge, like the teachers that were in charge of what's like running after him. That was stick with you. It was awesome. It was awesome. I don't remember the guy's last name, but his first name was Chris. Jumping over these days. Boom, boom, boom.

That's pretty sweet. Yeah. The original parkour. Yeah. That's cool. I saw a girl on girl fight in middle school. Oh. And that's one of those that kind of was burned into my head.

Those are rare. Yeah. Yeah. Hair pulling, scratching, clawing. Was this in the hallways? The hallway. Yeah. Yeah.

So that was cool. I don't think I ever saw a fight in high school, though. Yeah. Like the things, you don't ever take showers in the locker room, right? Did you? No. Because I don't care enough about my hygiene. I'm in high school.

Just throw some jeans on and get back to class. Yeah, I'm sweaty. We're all sweaty. I thought that's not true. I did take showers every once in a while after weights when I got really sweaty, but I would literally be the only person in there. I was the only one sweaty enough. Like it wasn't like this thing of like, all right, everyone hits showers.

Showers. Or like after football practice hit the showers. Like I'm just going to go change and then go shower at home. Going home. There was also no time in PE to actually shower. Dressing. Yeah. Dressing back in, dressing out.

Like it was like, we have seven minutes. Yeah. And also it was like we're all just getting dressed. We actually don't need seven minutes. Give us two minutes. I'm ready to play three on three basketball. Yeah. It's going to take me like third.

30 seconds to spray on my axe and then besides that, I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. Are there just bullying moments from... Or just anything that's like, oh, that's actually like a somewhat real story from grade school rather than like what you imagine it being. I remember my first time getting offered to do drugs. And I remember feeling like a pivotal moment in my life.

Really? Of just like, who am I going to be, basically? That's like McGee and me type stuff right there. Who's McGee? McGee and me? Never seen it. Timon? Heard the name?

Abby McGee. Dude. Please, Ghosties, back me up on McGee and me. I think it was a focus on the family or something back in the day. Okay, yeah, they kind of... But it was this kid, and he drew this, he was like a cartoon artist, and he drew this artist, or this little cartoon named McGee, and it was like a miniseries. There was like 15 episodes of this thing.

Oh, it was awesome, dude. At the time, and you ever did fan art to this? Yeah. I'm surprised. Somehow. There was an episode. Oral Herschizer in it. A.C. Green, I think, maybe got in there.

Oral Hershizer. I haven't heard that name in a long time. Dude. That's great. Oh, anyway. But, like, yeah, there were, like, all these different scenarios. Like, Nick, do you want to do the drugs? Don't do the drugs, Nick. Kind of thing like that. So where were you when this happened? So just so I'm clear, when I tell the story, am I McGee? Or is the guy from me drugs is McGee?

No, McGee is the little cartoon. So McGee might be like the one in your, like, like, like looking on my shoulder. You can get in your backpack like, don't do it, Nick. This guy's bad news I tells you. Okay, okay, that'll help. That'll help. He's not from Queens. I don't know why I thought like that.

Looking back, as best I could piece together, for whatever reason, like, I was a well-liked freshman. And I assume it's purely because of athletics. I don't think anyone really knew my personality much, but just like, you know, you're a good athlete. It's an easy way to get some street credit at the time. And so we had a bad group of, like, the seniors who there were a lot of like drugs and alcohol in strafford and then once they graduated it was great and truly it's like if you have a bad like class of or just a bad group of kids it's it's in your whole school um but they were still like the cool athlete guys it's like you want to be

liked by the senior athletes for sure and i was just like at a bathroom break in the middle of like a just a normal class like i'm one of the only people in the hallway and then there's a senior also in the hallway for some reason and he's like hey what's up dude and i knew him and his whole family everything and also knew what he did on the weekends. I remember him being like, hey, Jake, you, uh, you want to hang out with this after school? And I, like, I knew what it meant. Like, yeah, me and me and so and so and so,

we're all gonna, like, meet on my car after school, you should come. And I was like, and then McGee's like, hey, I tells you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, watch it. Watch it, slick. Larv bells are going off with this one. Ringy, dingy, dingy.

And, yeah, that was like a moment of like, do I want to be liked by the senior guys? someone earn some respect? Yeah. Or do I want to say no to whatever this is? You say, I'm cool. My mom's picking me up. Yeah, I think I said, no, I have to poop.

I have to poop. I'm a long pooper. Wish I could have to dump. Sorry, just need to sit for a while. Let me sit on it. Because I'll be pooping. I'll be pooping. I'll be pooping.

I usually poop till dinner. After dinner, like, it kind of invigorates. things and then I poop a little bit more. Avoid doing dishes by pooping. And then I just do my homework on the toilet. I can maybe do it before school. No. No, I forgot.

I got off to poop. I get nervous poops before school. So maybe during recess. So if you're out there and you're maybe a high school freshman listening this and you're like, how do I navigate this? Use the poop excuse. Yeah, use the poop method. I think that's very valid.

Always be poop. Always be poop. It's a great excuse. What are you going to say? A BP. Can you really you have to? Dude, you know how. I got a poop.

Right. That's right. Sorry, I wish I could. Was it a, APB? Is that something? All points bulletin? Yeah.

So it's like AB, A B, A B. Do an APB that you're doing an AP. ABB. A.B. That's great, dude. Yeah, I never, I never, I never got offered drugs and,

I don't know if I ever truly got offered drugs. Loser. Truly, yeah. What a loser I am. No, it is nice if you, because that's probably a credit to you. Like, you earn a reputation. Yeah.

I remember like I stopped getting invited to the parties because I just, you keep saying no to them. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, I remember there was a cute upperclassman in my. Here we go, time and strap in earmuffet for me actually. Dude. This is going to get. First of all, let me just say, do you remember the ad that we did? I think it was for Healing Waters a couple of weeks ago where I just, no, it was for

signature pest control. And I was trying to find like a random person on Facebook. Oh, yeah. And then I was like, oh. She almost messaged. Yeah. Yeah. But she lives or she's, she's, she's, you're mutual.

friends with AJ Devlin. Like, I don't even remember what I said about him. I probably was like, I don't even barely know this guy. Apparently, AJ Devlin, like, messes me on Facebook. And it was like, dude, like five different people messes me. I love that. And so I thought about throwing out this girl's name in the high school in the story, but I'm not going to.

You got a lot of a lathe's out of people listening. Those guy's a case state guy. Anyway, this girl, man, she was a babe. And she was older than me. And I remember I was wearing a green polo that day. And she turns around to me and, Spanish class. And she goes, that green shirt really brings out your eyes. Couldn't, couldn't escutarchar to anything after that. Oh, dude. She was so Caliente, man.

Oh, I was like, holy cow. That was the best compliment I ever got. What's your age? What's her age? I was a sophomore. She was a senior. Dude. I know. I know. Rimbling. And she wasn't just like a, just like a rough senior. She was. bro. She was great. And more ways than what. Like she was a good Christian girl. Like she was like,

she's checking off the boxes here, bro. Dude, that's actually like, that'll turn you into a man, kind of. I remember what it was like to like be a freshman sophomore and look up to those senior girls. And you're like,

these girls are super models in my eyes. They're unattainable. Yeah. They're 50 years older than me, but like not. You know what I mean? Like, like I can never.

Like, they've seen and done things that I'll never be able to. You know, It was like, I don't know how to kiss. I don't know how to kiss, dude. I don't know what they do on the week. I think they're on Hugh Heffner on the weekends. That's what they do.

They've earned it. Look at them. I mean, they're seniors. And I remember one of the freshman year dances, there was a girl who like kind of danced near me. Oh. And at the time, it was probably like a make a wish scenario. Yeah.

And it still meant the world to me. And I didn't care what she probably got put up to it. Or it was his consequence or something. It was even with me. It was still near me. But it was just like, Oh, it changed my life, yeah. She smells like Clinique happy, dude.

She smells unbelievable. Oh, yep. That's Britney Spears. Yeah. That's passion, whatever it was called. Every girl had that for a while. Oh, man. Yeah.

Is that what it was called? I was Britney Spears something. It was adjacent to passion. Yeah, I remember getting magazines and being able to have like the little like flap where you could smell that. I'm not about the flap. Remember like you could preview the sick? Yeah. Do you know about the magazine smell flap?

I think. I've seen an equivalent. It was more like directly from maybe a Bath and Body Works magazine. It wasn't like... I was like, our bank has that. Chase Bank did like a scratch and sniff credit. I spent a lot of my childhood of Chase Bank.

They had everything there. I mean, we flew out of Chase Bank. It was our airport. Yeah, that's where we docked our boat. I mean, we did every single thing at Chase Bank. Got our dog from there. They run a nice little shelter. It fixed him there too, yeah.

Yeah. Everything. But we did not get cash back from Kinsk. Oh, man. Yeah, the flaps in the in the magazines where you just open it up. And you got a good, I mean, it felt like it smelled forever. Yeah, I mean, it was pretty strong. Like, I'd like to find a magazine from back in the 2000s and see if you can still smell some.

You still sniff it, I bet. Still smell it. It was a good advertising idea. Yeah, it was. That was cool. It was good technology. I'm trying to think anything else from high school. school.

That was a watershed moment for me, for sure. Yeah, dude, I bet. It really brings out your eyes. I was like, oh, my gosh. I'm wearing this shirt every day. Mom, can we go get more green stuff, please? Hope you like Bairday. Yeah, that's right.

I'm wearing it the rest of the year. Oh, man. Good times. I'm tired. Sike! Maitryroasters.com. 10% off. GRKC.

I have a very small segment to do here. Let's do it.

Because I only have one thing to say, but maybe you guys are going to have more. We'll see. The segment's called Not a Hot Take, but it still needs to be said. Okay. All right? I like this.

So if there's anything you guys can think of to add, feel free. Not a hot take, but it still needs to be said. This is Winter Edition. If you're driving and it's freezing outside,

always let the pedestrian go. Past you. Okay. They have the ride away. Yes, dude. I think it's wild sometimes. And I will always like, I'll like slam on my brakes

to let him go past. That's nice. It's like, it's like it's 15 degrees out. outside, go past. And every once in a while, people just make me wait. And I'm like, come on, you're in your heated car. I'm cold. I'm cold. I'm cold. I'm freezing here. Yeah. It's not a hot take. Everyone should do it. But it still needs to be said because it's good. It's a good segment. Thank you. That's all I have to say about it. Not a hot take.

Just the one. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Just one. Okay. But it needs to be said, this is what I've thought about lately. When I've been traveling and therefore, like, like, somewhere like, plane ride away. And I've been, you know, going around in not my own car. when I get back and I get like that first just drive anywhere by myself and back in my own car again is like the most blissful feeling of all time. Oh. I think like it's like the music I listen to is fully my choice. The volume is your choice.

Everything is like, oh, I'm back. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. So you're saying what was the first part of the? I'm saying if you've been a plane right away. Oh, it's like I've been gone for a week somewhere where it's like I've been in a rental car or. you know, staying at other people's house. Like nothing's like super familiar.

Then I'm back in my own car. Something about it. Maybe it is a hot day. I don't know. Like I've never talked about this with somebody. But it's like, I just love it. It's like, it's like what most people say about like once you get back to my own bed. You're saying that same thing with it's my own car.

I get to my car and I'm like, it's good to be back in my car. Life ain't too bad, is it? I'm almost, maybe not the opposite. But did you ever do back to school shopping? we probably went a little bit but I probably didn't enjoy it that was like the one time of year I mean I shouldn't say that

because my mom's even be like no it's not but that was the one time of year it felt like we got new clothes it was like back to school shopping got new shoes got new clothes and I remember always feeling like

if I went and got new like went shoe shopping and then got back into my old shoes or back in my old clothes it'd be like these old things these things are the worst I also relate to that yeah I definitely feel that too

so I think they can the two things could be true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the old shoes, they look so crummy once you have a new pair of shoes. They never looked that way. Yeah, the shoes were eight out of ten and then all of a sudden it's like, oh my gosh. Well, that's what white looks like. We should give these away today. It's over. Here's the question for I don't think it fits this segment, but I find it odd. It's hard for me to throw away a pair of shoes. They feel like too much mass to just like put in the trash. Yeah. Doesn't it feel odd? Like there should be a shoe port. I don't think I've ever thrown away a pair of shoes.

It feels weird. It's more like we would just like... What do you mean? Are you giving away? Or... Actually, I'm sure there's been like... Oh, these were the go-to mowing shoes for a while. These are...

Their time has come. They're not gonna... But otherwise, it'd be like we just donate them to Goodwill or something like that. No, I have... Genuinely, I think I have four pairs of shoes in my garage because I just'm like, well, I can't give them away. Or I can't throw them away. I should just give them away, honestly.

But like, it's like, I don't wear them, but I should... If I need a bad pair of shoes... For some reason, even... I'm going to be so mad that I don't have these shoes. For some reason, even burning them feels better. It feels like, I don't know why. Same about taking the shoes in one hand and just putting them in your kitchen garbage? No, they're shoes.

Yeah, no, that's, that's illegal. You got to get rid of them more ceremonially. Or those are those a long time. So, don't wait shoes, yeah, you probably been wearing those for five years. What about this? There's a random thought I had. My brother-in-law, high-up CFO kind of guy at his company. So it's doing well.

His boss to say thank you to him, bought him, I believe it was $8,000 custom cowboy boots. I'd say, where'd you get these from? Do you have their receipt? Thanks. I would return those for $8,000.

Oh, right. Yeah. I mean, he got, like, fitted. It took him, like, he got fitted. And then 12 months later, like, they, like, custom made these, like, alligator skin.

And he's like, these aren't even, like, the most expensive. Maybe were they alligator? Or were they ostrich, I don't know, some kind of skin, whatever. That's crazy. Crazy. And I had the thought to myself, ironically, I bet I was like, I bet he's scared to wear those

too often. Yeah. And I'm like, oh yeah. How funny is it that the more expensive, the shoes you have, the less like, or the less often you're going to wear them? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yep.

I'm with you. That's why cheap sunglasses, cheap wedding ring. Okay. Keep those things on me. Okay. I'm afraid. Yeah. Yeah.

I think never should, nothing. No shoes should cost that much. I think. Seems like a lot. It's, I don't know. But maybe they're, like, do you think they're really high quality so he should be wearing them more? Because they would just last forever. To his credit, I did ask.

Because in my head, I thought that and I asked him. And he's like, I've probably worn them, yeah, 12 times already. That's good. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Two months or something. Yeah.

Because in my head, I was like, I would save those for only the most special occasions or whatever. But I think they're like so well-form fitting and probably, yeah, so durable. Yeah, that probably lasts a long time. Anyway, some brand in Texas. People would probably know it if I knew it. Ostrich reminded me. When I went home for Christmas, my dad had an ostrich steak for me. He got it from his work.

And he's like, hey, let's cook this up. Had it pretty good? My first steak in six years? Interesting. It's a great alternative. Ostrich steak. Now, I don't know, maybe it's crazy expensive or hard to get. I don't know, but.

It's got to be more expensive. It seems, I see more cows than I do ostriches. Yeah. And it doesn't seem like they would have as much to go around. but for what I had, it was great. That's thoughtful of your dad. Yeah, it was cool. It was great gift.

Was it thick or was it kind of? Yeah, it was humongous. Really? Yeah, just thick, I guess. Yeah. It wasn't a big filet, but yeah, definitely thick. Interesting. It was great.

Yeah. Heeded it up the next day, polished off the rest of it. Still good? Polished off. I like to say polished off. Yeah, I just kind of polished it off. Yeah, it's one thing I definitely could not say I've eaten. Yeah, it was great.

Good. So that's that. I found out that you know, as I've been getting into black coffee with cream and sugar and syrup and syrup and simple syrup and caramel pump

and vanilla pump that reminds me I was behind a guy at a coffee shop in Florida and he had a crazy order where the baristas had to like double check with him like really? Like quad shot honey lavender or it was like honey, vanilla and caramel and then when it was

my turn to order then I saw one of the says look at the cup and she was like, is this right? That was kind of funny. But I found out that for two straight weeks, you know, Rachel, I was waking up, like Rachel would wake up 15 minutes before me and she'd kind of start to get ready and she'd make a pot of coffee or whatever. I was, I had no idea, but I guess she'd kind of been running a little study on me. She'd been checking in and I had no idea.

I didn't pay attention to it. She had been trying to see if caffeine had an effect on me. And so I guess she'd every now and then she would prompt me like, hey, do you like your coffee? Oh, yeah, it's great. It's great. And I guess she'd been asking me stuff like, do you feel like, were you productive? Do you feel alert or whatever? Because she'd been making me decaf coffee for two straight weeks trying to like trick me, just waiting for that one moment to be like, ha, I was decapped.

And like I said, unbeknownst to me, for two straight weeks, I'm just like not giving her the answer she wants. I'm like, eh, I didn't really? Honestly, I just, yeah, I felt pretty steady. I mean, it tasted good. and I'm enjoying drinking coffee. I like start my day with it, but no, I'm not noticing the different. And I think she's just like,

God, this is my only good. He's so honest. Yeah, two weeks go by to it. She's like, I gotta say it. It's been decapped the whole time. I couldn't get you. It's where I kind of laughing about that. I'm like, well, aren't you glad that like,

now you have a husband who's like, one, honest with you, doesn't just give you the answer he thinks you once. Like, it's not easily, you know, affected by placebos. Yeah. This seems like a good thing.

She's like, I kind of wanted to just trick you. Kind of wanted to just catch you in a lot. I just wish I won I wish the prank would have worked Yeah marriage is really just about who wins Who wins the prank Yeah the little trick so yeah I had no idea but I really passed the test

With flying colors that's fun That's amazing Yeah honestly don't even know what this is Everything's a prank I know what's real It tastes the same and you don't probably need The caffeine because you've never had the caffeine I don't know if I've ever had caffeine

Never right Yeah I don't know if I've ever had it I don't remember Oh no there was that one time I think you said you had coke zero on the way home from Oklahoma City. Okay, so I've had it once. Or Dallas via Oklahoma City.

Good memory. Yeah, I did have that one time. That was it, though, I think. No, I got you coffee one time. I had caffeine in it. I got the caffeine. You know for sure? No.

Could have been in McLean's prank. I didn't see him put it in there. Yeah. What does caffeine look like? Where does it come from? We were talking about this recently. Does it come from just the natural from the beans? Because Steve Cooper's like, hey, there's a, there's a deal at the market to market.

You know, he's got a little stuff that we don't even know he's talking about. Hey, grain market fleets. I know you can buy 50 bag pound of caffeine. Like a 50 pound bag of caffeine. Straight. It comes in like a powder. Okay. Just that's all it is is caffeine.

Yeah. Just a bag of caffeine. Yeah, you get it down from Cuba. Or no, maybe it's Columbia is what I'm thinking of. It's just this tiny powder. You just straight, you actually inject it through your nose. And you'll get really hyper. Just like caffeine.

Jake, you'll, field defects of that one. Yeah, it was not decaf. But yeah, so we did look it up. Like, what is caffeine? And I think the root of it comes from China. Classic. Oh, really?

But for the most part, it is like almost every caffeine that we take in now, like via soda or whatever coffee, or I guess probably not coffee. But soda and energy drink, whatever, it's like this lab processed form of whatever caffeine is. I don't know. It's so pretty confusing, but I know you can buy it in a powder. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it's naturally in tea. Yeah, like tea leaves or whatever. Green tea, yeah, and the cacao bean. Huh. I don't know. That's amazing that Steve's trying to just buy cocaine for you guys. I'd be curious to see, like, physically how much of the powder is equivalent to like an energy drink or a coffee. Like, what does it look like? Yeah.

That feels like. Well, then again, it's already measured in like volume. Like milligrams and stuff. Yeah. So I guess I'm just wondering how 50 pounds would go a long way. Yeah. What does even like, what is 100 milligrams of? Celsius is like 200 milligrams. Yeah.

So that's like nothing. So they call it a key. And so you just get a key. Huh. You just do like pinky or a key. Yeah. This is very small amount. Cops like to take like, like they like to shove it in there and then paste a little bit of it.

Oh, man. Dude. I watched U.S. Marshals the other day. Oh, yeah. You've seen that one? Yeah, because sometimes I think I'm watching The Fugitive. Correct.

It's the same movie kind of. I think I'm watching something else. Catherine never seen it. And I was like, I think it's the same character. Like Tommy Lee Jones is the same character as the fugitive. Yeah. And she's like, well, I got to watch that. We watched it.

It's great, dude. But they did so many things, like so many cop things that are like just so classic. Like, zoom in on that right there. Now, now, they did they did like enhance? Yeah. I don't think they used the word enhanced, but they're like, clear it up. Digitized. Tommy Lee Jones is like, all right, put in the big screen.

And the big screen is like a 20-inch TV instead of a 19-inch. Put it on the big screen. All right, print it. Print it and send out to everybody. But all of a sudden, it's just, yeah, this perfectly good picture of this guy. Did you grow up with the Tommy Lee Jones Batman? Like, was that a movie you saw with him as Two-Face? Some.

Yeah, not like, I can't, I don't remember super vividly. Is that the one with Schwarzenegger, too? No. That was a different one. That was, he was. Is that Val Kilmer? Val Kilmer was that Batman. Yeah, like Jim Carries the riddler, Tommy Lee Jones's

two-face. Is the Tommy Lee Jones one? Yeah, okay, okay, yeah. And then Arnold Schwarzenegger, I think when he's Mr. Freeze, for some reason we didn't watch that one. No, I agree, though. I have seen that one that you're talking about a decent amount of times because there's like a scene in it.

The only thing I can really remember is like Val Kilmer, Bruce Wayne, is at like some public event and something crazy happens or something. Kids starts running on tables to get out of school. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about, though? Like some crazy thing happens. happens and he just like stands up and you just know he's like he's like I guess I got to be

Batman. It's Batman time. Yeah. Yeah. Does a quick Mrs. Doubtfire comes out. Was it rated PG-13? I feel like I was only able to watch like a snippet of it when it was at somebody else's house. I do feel like I saw the it every time in my grandparents house. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. It was like the Haydens have that on VHS. Let's put it in. Oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Sweet. What about it though? Just Tommy Lee Jones. I feel like that was my introduction to him was Two-face. Oh, scary. Do you know much?

Tommy Lee Jones, though? I've seen No Country for Old Men. So good. It's in that. Yeah, it's really good. I haven't seen it. But that's, I think, it. I thought it was a sequel to McGee and Me, so I was waiting to watch that first.

I can't recommend enough either of those things. McGee and Me is amazing. No Country for Old Men is one of the best movies of all time. People say it's like. I loved it. Yeah. I want to watch it again, though. Because, like, I just love rewatching things, but also, like, my expectations can be even, like,

I don't know. I just want to watch it again so I can appreciate it more. Tommy that one scary looking guy in that movie, right? Who does like a really good job? Great hair haircut. Yeah, he's scary.

I know nothing about him, but boy, he's scary. He is, yeah, he's really scary in that movie. Can you do an impression of him? I can't remember how he is. I don't remember how he sounds really. I don't know, I'm not going to try it. We'll watch it sometime.

Man, that's a good one. Good one. Tommy Lee Jones, though. Just, they're just awesome, man. He's just so classic. I wouldn't see more of him, yeah. Like, just things he says. Like, you know,

in U.S. Marshals, they're like, you always have to win, don't you? Yes, I do. This is like, yeah. He's got a classic line, which is like, really the only comedy and maybe either those two movies, but here we said, before he's yelling at him, I didn't kill my wife.

Tommy the Jones, I don't care. I don't care. Yeah, that's a great line. It's classic. I don't care. That's so funny. Yeah, we watched that, and we watched Die Hard recently, too. is maybe the perfect movie.

Really? I still got to watch that too. You seen it, Tymie? No. That's in the McGee and Me, No Country Foldman trilogy, isn't it? Yeah. I don't remember which one comes first. Die Hard's so fun. That's Bruce Willis?

It's just so fun. I watched Sixth Sense recently, so now I'm like, I'd watch more videos. He's the exact same character. It's a, that's a prequel to Die Hard. I figured, yeah. Have you seen Nate Bargazzi's bit on the Sixth Sense? He didn't, one of his recent specials.

He kind of makes fun of himself. He's like, I'm not sure to be the comedian doing material about a 22-year-old movie, but then he just talks about the sixth sense. That's great. I got a couple more quick hitters for you guys. Brad, I feel like you're going to like this one.

I landed in the Tampa airport at like 1 a.m. And without going to a lot of details, I felt like a guy was following me. And like he was probably just trying to get to his car too. But I didn't like it. And I got on edge. And really all I have to say is, I like who I became when I felt in danger.

I felt like I was like, yeah, I was proud of myself. Nothing went down. Of course. This guy had no business with anything with me. But I liked, I feel like I turned into Jason Bort a little bit. Like, where are the exits? Okay. What weapons do I have on me? Okay, there's the camera. When I am walking in the parking garage. Let me be in the line of the camera. Yeah, where's the mirror that I can see him and stuff like that? Yeah. Yeah. It's like to go to sleep that night. The adrenaline was still public. Oh, yeah. Man, I wish, oh, I wish it. Bring it on next time, buddy. Yeah.

It's always at a parking garage, too, you know? That's when it really, it was at its height. Yes. It's just me and him in a parking garage. Bring it on. Dimly lit. Yeah. Yeah.

I liked it. But he didn't attack you. He didn't attack me. I thought about attacking him. I was like, well, if he's not going to do it, someone needs to. Yeah. Surprise him a little bit. Yeah.

Nice try, buddy. Do you fantasize about someone, like doing something to Catherine, so you have to intervene? My initial reaction is no. Let me really make sure it's no. No. I might have. No. I don't know.

Well, that's not good. If you said, Jake, what would your perfect day be? I would say Rachel gets sexually harassed. Oh, good. And it's time to step up. Maybe even abducted. Wow. Yeah.

But they leave behind a series of clues for me. Wait, is abducted worst? I'll take either work. I don't know. I'm not going to be super picky, but it is important that they leave behind some clues. Right. Where I'm able to catch them. Okay.

Or just a straight, just a quick little sexual harassment. I'm able to step in, quick little alter cage, bop, pop, see ya. You would, yeah. Oh, I look forward to it. I hope. Oh, I fantasize about her getting. Would you be able to be able to just like, bop, bop, bop, see you? Or would you have to, pop, pop, pop.

It would have to be like, can you actually? crouch down, you're like 6-3. It's going to be tough for me to get to leverage. Just FYI, yeah, I work out a lot, but you're going to need to give me a few seconds. I stop taking creatine. My ring doesn't fit. I've lost mass, so it's not, can you come closer? I can't even reach your nose.

Let me go get my pickle balls in my paddles. They're carbon fiber course, so they're going to knock the socks out of you, but yeah, I would have, now that I'm thinking about, I would have a hard time, like, just beating them up and not wanting to, like, take them out. Oh, that's what you're saying. Pop, pop, pop. Pop, pop. Kick.

Yeah. Yeah. Kick. Kick. To the groin. Kick straight. I, what if? Would you just like, hey, I already took this guy out, but I'm just going to kick him a couple times.

Oh, I think. So he has no sexual desire ever again. That's how it works. I've never had a wife, but I feel like. Well. Well, not a lot. I thought you kissed Mitch on New Year's. Okay.

All right. All right. We're not doing it. I, but I feel like it would be hard to stop. like beating up this guy. Wow. That's what I'm saying. That's why I don't fade of it about Jake.

Yeah, I mean, someone has to get me under control, I feel like. Trying to beat up this guy that was doing stuff to my wife. That's interesting, because in my fantasy, it's just a quick little like, yeah, I thought of his lesson. It's like a cool main character.

Like he's on the ground. You're like, yeah, that's what happens when you mention my wife. Let's get out. And for the first time ever I call her, babe. Yeah. Babe, let's get out of here. Let's bounce.

I guess it depends on exactly what you're defining as what's happening to her. Yeah, and I'm open to... Careful. I'm open to anything, baby. Babe. I think ideally it's verbal. Oh. And that's a, that's a bot, bot.

That's what I'm thinking. I think that's in my perfect fantasy. Oh, okay. It's a verbal harassment. I see. Yeah. And it's a quick, let me teach you your lesson, son. See, in that case?

maybe I don't love Catherine as much as you love Rachel because I'm like, I don't even know if I would fight him. I would just be like, you're a loser. Shake your finger at him. Hey. Stop being a loser. She's married. Loser.

Hey, very, I think of more effective anyway. I don't know. I just give him the thumbs down and get out of here. That's good. That's good. I'm going to go home with her and you're going to stay here. That's my wife. You?

Yeah. Double, bud. I don't usually do this. Double. Double, dude. Double. Get in your car. I'm going to get in my car.

It's a parking garage. Get double. see ya. Yeah. Catherine's behind you backing you up. Yeah, Catherine's doing the... Yeah. Yeah.

Captain thumbs down. Yeah. That's what we thought. Bob-Boff. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I would fight him. It depends on what he's saying. I'm saying there's a lot of options here. Maybe a little verbal, a little slap on the heiney. Don't touch her.

Yeah, that's different. Yeah. Toucher, it's, it's on. On. And I am. Gosh, I can't wait. Oh, I hope it happens. Hey, I might pay someone.

Timon. I would love for timing to hit on my one. You could beat him up. You could be timing up pretty easily, I think. We could dream about timing. If we could really, dude. Gosh.

All I think about is time. I'm going to leave him alone in Palm Springs. And I'm going to set up a nanny. can't oh i hope it happened i'm gonna sneak out of the closet oh i hope it happens i'm gonna have her wear something nice oh is she coming to california yeah tail end of it that's fun tail stop saying so timon get your head out of there something about her tail in timon oh man uh last night had my first upward basketball practice oh yeah you coach big coach dude way more nervous about it than i thought i was going to be ha i love it we're yeah like

I just felt so unprepared for like it's it's it's clock management yeah it's it's funny like funny it's it's more daunting when they know nothing than if they than if they've played like three or four years and you're just like joining yeah let's let's run our offense yeah let's let's do some drills let's like let me teach you how to do a like ball screen and a play and all this stuff but it was like like literally the first thing I did well first thing I did was I gave him I gave him the talk talking to. Game of Ra Ra. Well, win one for the Kipper. No, it was more like a serious

raw. Amman Ra. German. It was the same thing I always did at camp where I sat all the kids down and I was like, listen, that camp was always, this could be the best week of your life. I don't think we ever said the worst week of your life, but it's like, this could be the best week of your life or this could not be as fun if you guys

don't behave. Like, you guys have to listen to us and it's going to be so fun. I was like, I am a really fun guy. And I said that last night. I was like, I'm a really fun guy. But if you guys don't obey and you're not nice to each other, then I have to be less fun. And I was like,

Bo is my son. Bo, my fun? He's like, yeah. It's like, but do I get mean sometimes if you disobey? He goes,

yeah. I was like, all right. So anyway, but that was the first thing. And then the second thing I did was literally we played a game for like 10 minutes where all I did was,

I taught them where the baseline was, where the sideline was and where the lane was. Okay. And basically just played a game where I would just yell out one of those things. and they would run to it. Go to it. Yeah.

These six-year-old boys just love it. They thought it was so... And I called the game. I was like, just thinking on the fly. I was like, all right. Levi, what's your favorite color? He's like, orange?

I was like, all right, orange. Like, what's your favorite pizza topping? Harrison? Pepperoni. And then I don't know why I asked this. I was like, all right. And what was the other kid? Oh, Winston.

It's like, Winston. What's your favorite thing you like to put on your head? He goes, a hat? Like, oh, that was a little. top answer on Family Feud. All right. This game's going to be called Orange Pepperoni Hat. That's fine.

You know, whatever. Just they were running all around. But it was literally like teaching them how to dribble, teaching them how to jump stop, you know, like whatever. Yeah. Very simple things. And then you didn't run any shell drill or five man weave. No.

And of course not. But like, like, they did have like suggestions of like, this is the things you should be teaching them. But I was like, I was just so nervous that I wasn't going to teach them enough things. Because of course, I could teach them 30 things. 30 things, but it's like they're not going to be able to understand 30 things. I taught them with triple threat and I ingrained that into their head of like, what does the triple threat mean?

Those are some of the first things I remember learning. Really? Three types of passes, triple threat position, athletic position. You hear that in every sport. Yes. The first day. Triple threat timing is when you hold the ball and you can either dribble, pass it or shoot it. You're prepared to do all three.

Yep. So triple threat. I mean, but it was like so simple. But to their credit, and maybe it was because it was the first practice, but these boys were like well-behaved like you know listen to me pretty well and to paint you a picture dude in my head I was like okay you know it's upward there's going to be maybe two practices going on at once there was four teams practicing we each had a half court my goodness there's four teams and so each of these kids you know it's 10 players per team they each had a ball

so it's like 40 balls so loud in there with all these parents and everything around I mean it was chaos dude and so like yeah anytime I had to like teach them anything I brought them so close and like yeah yell at them you know whatever uh but it was a blast honestly it sounds fun it it was one of those times where it was like this is not hard to fill the time i just want to make sure that when the first game comes they're not going to be like i didn't know how i was supposed to play defense or you know yeah like something slips through the cracks like oh shoot you don't you don't know about defense i forgot totally about it and i'm very like that's i was more nervous about like the parents judging me than i was about yeah i was like i'm i'm confident i'm going to be fun for

these kids. I can make the kids like me. I can make them better at basketball. I'm going to encourage the heck out of them. I'm going to make sure they're doing a good job all the time. But I'm like, what if these parents are like, this is the guy? And when's your first game? We have one more practice and then the following like Saturday. Okay. So yeah, they're not a ton left. No. They have to be game ready. Right. And we practice every week along with, you know, playing games. And so we'll have plenty more practices. But yeah, I have one more 60 minute practice to do with them. And I guess, I mean, a third of the, you know, a third of that should probably be scrimmaging, so they at least kind of see what it's like to play

offense and defense and switch possessions or inbound to basketball. Right. I think literally I'm going to, like they, they suggest like when you're coaching kindergarten, you are on the court with them. Like I see. Running around. Walk a few shots. Get in the paint. Get involved. Take a charge. I do play basketball with Hattie and Bo in the driveway. Bo got this light up basketball for Christmas. It's awesome. So like six o'clock hits. It's dark outside. All you can see is the basketball. It's pretty sweet. And I usually. give them, I count to four, and then I just go as hard as I can on defense. So like, because a lot of times it takes them like three seconds, like gather to shoot, you know.

And so Bo like rebounds a ball. I go one, two, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, three, four. And at four, dude, I go as hard as I can. Ben Wallace. Yeah, I, Dekime Mutumbo that thing into the backyard, you know, whatever. Just swat the heck out of them. But if he can get it up in three. And to Bo's credit, he can usually shoot in like two seconds.

It's quick release. Howie takes a little bit longer. So anyway, so Bose practice. was first and then Haddy was after her or after him and Haddy's playing you know she's with the third third graders and so some of these girls this is their fourth year playing and had he's never played before and so she had a few times where it was hard for her like had he's so funny man like it was almost it was last episode where timing couldn't remember or couldn't figure out 2 13 minus 163 yeah yep it was one of those things where had he just has like these mental blocks

where it's like I don't understand and I and I'm very frustrated like I don't like I don't like that I'm yeah and it's like haddie I promise you're overcomplicating the heck out of this I see see uh but the first practice you know I'm the assistant coach for them so head coach Sean uh is teaching uh how to do down screens which just means you just run up time and and you're on offense but you set a block for one of your teammates okay that's the simple way to put it and haddy could not understand how that works or like after you do a down screen you know Then all of a sudden she's open. I was like,

Hattie, say you're open. You're wide open. Your defender's not there. And she's like, he didn't tell me to say that. Yeah, dude, this is my,

how do I know that I'm open? This was me as a kid too. Yeah. It's very much like a type A. Like, yeah. It's just like, how did I know I was open?

I didn't know. You know, and I was trying to just more like encourage her, but I think me like, I don't, I wasn't yelling at her, but I was like, Hattie,

Hattie, say you're open, you know, whatever. I don't get it. She's like, I don't get it. I thought basketball was going to be so much different than it is.

You know, like, it's going to be fine. You're going to be good. But she did a great job. Like, she's pretty good at dribbling and like, I think she'll be fine once she gets the hang of,

but like literally, like, I don't think she understands some of the very basic principles yet of, like, defense and like. Be between your man and the hoop. Yeah. Because at one point, they were teaching ball screens.

And in upward, you can only play man to man and you can only play like the person. that you're assigned to. That makes sense. So if you set a ball screen, like, you know, you can't just switch or whatever, you know. Wow, that's a great play in upward then.

It's a great play. Coach Sean, good idea. And anyway, but for a while, she would, Haddy was on defense and the girl would come and set a ball screen. Sorry for people that don't understand sports, but she would come and set a ball screen. So then I'm like,

Hattie, she's the person you're guarding, so you should go with her. And she's like, he didn't tell me to go with her. And I'm like, I know, but that's just the principle of defense says you're just trying to stay with your person the whole time. You're a defending. Oh, yeah.

So she's going to have some interesting times and it'll be fun. But I think ultimately, I tried to encourage her last night. I was like, Hattie, I promise, I'm going to be most proud of. I was like, I promise I'll be proud of you no matter what. Because we were talking about she's like, first of all, she doesn't understand jump stops. She doesn't understand why they're important. She's like, I do fine without jump stops right now. I'm just going to keep doing what I do.

And I'm like, no, you need to learn how to do a jump stop. up. She's like, okay. You know, she's getting attitude with me. And she goes, but don't expect me to be able to do it by the first game is what she said. And I go, Hattie, I'll, I'll be proud of you no matter what? And she goes, well, what if I just stand on the sideline and don't go in? Will you still be proud of me? And I go, I'll be proud of you as long as you try. That's like, I was like, yeah. You got try. Give some effort. Just try. I was like, you can go out there. Like, Haddy, you can shoot a thousand shots and you can miss them all. But I'm so proud that you kept trying. If you were trying to make it, yeah. You didn't quit on.

your team or your coach. Right. But if you just don't try, like, that's, that's where it's not good. You just got to learn how to try and have effort and keep going. So anyway, it'll be, it'll be an interesting season to say the least with the Lady Sparks. Lady Sparks. But Sean, he's awesome. He's, he's a friend of mine from church and his daughter is really close friends with Hattie, like best friends. But Sean is like so chill, dude, like so chill. And like I said, this gym of, you know, however many, 100 people in there, you got to be kind of loud. And he's, he's just, he's pretty quiet. He kind of just talks like this. Okay. Next thing we're going to do, I need here. I need a haddy, Addison, Carolyn, you know, summer, whatever, all these

different things. So he just cracks me up. But I'm just like, you're doing it, man. Coach Sean, get after it. He's the one at church. He like, they always come like 15 minutes late. And they never seem like they're at a hurry. Like, they're just like, yeah, we're 15 minutes, lads,

how it goes, you know. They have five kids. So it's like, yeah, you know, there's five kids. He's awesome, though.

So, anyway, it's going to be a fun season. I think, uh, it all sounds fun. At the end of the practice with the boys,

one of the boys gave me a hug. Hey, all right, Charlie. Okay. Thanks, buddy. Trying to suck up to the coach.

That's right. Yeah, first team, all American, Charlie. Okay. But, yeah,

it'll be, it'll be interesting, man. I don't know if most of the kids can even get the ball up to the hoop. It'll be fun. Keep us posted week by week. Yes, I will. What's their team name?

Bose the Cowboys. Right on. So we talked about what do, Cowboys are respectful of their coaches, you know. It's the cowboy way.

I was like, Cowboys are respectful with their coaches and of their teammates and somebody goes, and of their horse. I was like, that's right.

Of course. The ball is your horse. Protect your horse. You know, whatever. And our horse. That's funny. Yeah, it was great.

Relatable or not. I like the questions that like the government basically asked you to verify your identity. You know about these? Like I tried to check my credit score the other day. It's like, oh, yeah? Well, which one of these addresses looks familiar? Oh. And you've got to remember like where you used to live.

Okay. Or like which one of these amounts looks like an amount that gets taken out of your account every month. And you've got to remember like your car. car payment amount. I really enjoy these questions. It's a pop quiz on your own life. It is kind of fun to be like, I don't know for sure. I'm pretty sure. There's a couple of them. Yeah, you're about 70% sure on. Yeah. Which one of these zip codes? You're like, most of them look right. Is there only one answer here? Yeah, since I've lived in Kansas City most of my life, they're all pretty similar. I've lived in like eight zip codes in Kansas City, truly. So, I mean,

they're all 662 something. Yeah. There's, we're in 666216. I use 116. Like, that's one digit. I'm pretty sure. used to have been... 6606.6.2 is we'll like that. Yep. Yep. Yep. So... But I like those. I like passing them, too. I like doing good on the test. Yeah. Yeah. That is my mortgage under company. I knew it.

Got it. Yeah. Try to trick me. Relatable enough, yeah. You like it? I don't have to do this. I don't experience it much, but yeah, I think I have... I remember setting up something for, like, my bank account. But I don't know if I've had to answer them.

You probably haven't. Do you have a credit card? yet? No. We talked about this. I should soon. You're scared. Yeah. You don't have loans for anything, do you? No. The government didn't even know about you. You have no clue I exist. That's the way to do it. Anyway, someday, you'll have a pop quiz in your life. Yep. It's kind of fun. You can't wait. Um, another thing I wrote down, I got to hang out with Rendell Weaver this week. He was also in like the Tampa area. So he texted me. We're still on Find

my friends. He's like, dude, you're like six miles for me. I was like, let's hang out. Wait, where were you guys in Tampa? Yeah, he was down. We were both in like kind of the Sarasota area. And so I was like, all right, let's golf tomorrow. I have my stuff. He's like, you can borrow mine. Great.

I slept in big time. I woke up 15 minutes before our tea time. I'm like, oh, gosh. How close. Struggling. I mean, it's like 10 minutes away. So I'm like hurry and get my stuff. Poppin level real quick.

Get out of there. Show up. Pretty late. Get to the first hole. No practice swing. Hit a drive. Chip in for Bernie. What?

Golf is easy, guys. You chipped in? Yeah, I mean, I hit one shot, hit a second shot, and shipped in for Bertie with like these rental clubs that they made me buy. I was like, this golf is easy. Why do people practice? Why do you go to a driving range?

Why would you show up on time? We had a great time. Me, Rindle, and Chad, cousin Chad from the Go Sea Getaway. Oh, yeah. Chad Yoder. Yep. So we all three hung out and talked to Amish and whatnot. And truly had a blast, very memorable,

just nine holes of golf. All round, I'd somehow been playing. quite well for how little golf I play. And I keep talking about something about these Wilson's, man. I mean, truly just like a crappy pair of rental or a set of golf clubs. I might take these Wilson. I'm going to, when I get to Burjah, I'm buying these clubs off of them. Well, sure enough, I, my last drive of day, I hit a ball, make good contact with it.

And then it's the craziest sensation because as I make contact, my arms feel super powerful. It's hard to describe the head of the, like, hybrid, like the big club. snapped off. So now, like, there's, like, no weight in my arms anymore. It was such a unique sensation. It was, like, I felt like I got struck by lightning. So it's, like, everything is, whoa. Yeah, like, kind of like, was it kind of like when you hit a baseball bat, like, in the wrong way?

And, like, you get like a sting. It just felt like I had this amount of weight in my hands. I did exactly what you were supposed to do, struck the ball perfectly. And now that weight is gone in a second. It's such a rehearsed familiar motion that it's got to be super, rear when it's different. Yeah. I was just silent.

I looked at the guys like, what happened? They were looking at a club. I was like, whoa, it's just like severed off. So did the ball go far? The ball still went like 170 yards.

And then we had just, we're like looking around for the rest of the club. Like where did that go? That's crazy. But the guys were cool because I was like, oh man, I've been joking about how I'm going to buy these clubs.

And I'm having to buy these clubs. But they were like, no, that's an old set. That happens with those hybrids. You're good. But yeah, it's kind of fun. It's not my first club.

and not like being dumb or anything, like just hitting a ball normally. Just pure in a ball. Yeah. I feel like you played really well with Rindle last time. So maybe you just need to, you know, surround yourself with better players. We did have a fun time just reminiscing on winning the Healing Waters tournament.

Yeah. I was like, dude, I look back at the day. I look back at that day like I look back at my wedding day. Like that, just everything went right for a day. That was so awesome. Truly. Man, we had so much fun. Me, you, Rindle and Micah.

That was fun. That was a great time. Good times. What did Micah say that we kept making fun of? before. Do you remember that? I don't remember it specifically. Yeah, I don't. We talked about it on the podcast. Yeah, we did. He just said something funny.

Oh, he said, to use the word cute? Yeah, or no. That's cute. Something like that. Was that what it was? Yeah, he called my two iron cute or something like that. That's what it was, I think. Maybe. We said something. I was remember. Like, yeah, joking about he's like, that's what everyone's going to remember me by. So, uh, chiefs.

moving to Kansas. Oh, yeah. Anything you want to say? People are pretty upset about it. I think it's kind of fun, but that's just my personality. I love change. Really?

Yeah. I obviously like Kansas. I don't like change. So maybe I'm like the exact opposite of you. I'm not upset about it, but I'm also like, I think I'd be just fine if it stayed in Missouri. Yeah, I'm fine with it too, but.

I love, I've never had a team change stadiums in my life. Yeah, what's this going to be like? It was built in 1970s. too. So like, at some point this is going to have to change. But then it's like, there's historic stadiums all over the place. Yeah, I guess so.

But I mean, Shruti was one telling us they spent like 30 million a year just to maintain where it's currently at. You know, so it's like at some point, they're probably going to have to make some sort of massive adjustment. So yeah, I'm okay with it. It was crazy though. I couldn't believe it actually like It happened. Wow. So where are they going to play now?

Probably where the legends is. Oh, cool. So not even official. but for sure moving the Kansas side and getting like a state of the art retractable roof, dome, you know, all-weather stadium, and the pitch is like we can host Super Bowls. Yeah. You know,

way more concerts, maybe more this, that, you know, whatever. Cool. It would be nice. Crazy. Kansas. Yes. All that would be said. Crazy. Wow. Time. When you guys are listening to this, I think it's

this Friday is finally when our founding father's cyber truck, oh good. Blog like video comes out right before you got here, Brad, timing came early and showed me what he has started to piece together and I was crying, laughing, just watching the rough draft. Seriously? Because I'd never seen the footage of the night crawler nosebleed.

I'd only heard secondhand what happened and getting to see it was electric. Really? Oh, it's great. It's great. And just caught me like, like, Isaac, oh, what are you doing? Yeah, it was a really good. That sounds like so genuinely annoyed.

Like he doesn't see the humor in it yet. In the moment he's like, I was like, what? They're night crawlers. They're going to crawl. It's so good. It's so funny. Yeah, so we're looking for that this Friday. That's going to be awesome.

Yeah, that'll be. How long you think it's going to be? I don't know. Long. Yeah, it's going pretty long. I'm not looking forward to going through all the game footage, but it'll be great. Yeah. That'd be fun.

I pay them. It'll be fun. Yeah. Oh, I have to get paid to look at footage. It's going to. It's going to take me like a ton of hours. It's almost as bad as holding a phone to film. I hate that we made you do that.

It makes me sick. Timon, I went down, I don't even remember when I did this, but I went down a little rabbit hole of time and impsh. Oh, dear. Media. And by little hole, I mean, I just literally just scrolled for a while and clicked one video. Okay. Is this on Instagram?

No. YouTube? I think it was YouTube. Huh. I don't have any of the other ones. Yeah. And I saw a video. I talked to my friend Zach about it today, or the other day at church.

It's the one where he interviews himself. Oh, yeah. Oh, classic. It's very funny. Really? I mean, it's just Zach. Zach is just natural. He's a natural actor, I think.

He's really good. Yeah. And even back to, I mean, it's funny because he's just like this chubby little kid compared to what he is now, like this young man. It was so long ago. I asked Zach about it. And he said that that was like the first time you guys like hung out outside of. Truly.

It's cool that. Like there's kind of a video to cement like the beginning of our like actual friendship. That's cool. Really cool. And it was like, and it was so like we had a blast filming that video and like laughed the whole time. It was like very natural. Yeah. So it was like I can see why we're still really good friends.

Still boys. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. Is he in the house yet? Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay.

Great. I haven't heard anything just assumed it was all good. He's been loving it. Okay. Yeah. It's going good so far. Yeah. Yeah.

He gets like I'm really excited like it's pulling. light, like, you know. Yeah, he's just like immediately, it's like, wow, you're so much better at living in a house than me. He's like, cooked a bunch of meals. I'm like, I have not cooked him. You're so much better at living in a house than me. You know what I mean? It's like, that's kind of utilizing all these days. I guess technically it's how you're supposed to live in a house. I just kind of eat quick trip. So it's right down the street, you know? I know. That's great. I texted all the guys here about a week or two ago, um, you know, because we're going to have a full house here pretty soon. Um, and I was like, hey, as like kind of a happy New Year gift, I got

you guys like a cleaner to the house. Yeah, did I respond to that? It didn't really get to love. I feel like it deserved. I got so excited at the moment, but I was like with my, I was in Illinois, didn't like respond.

Thank you so much. That's, that's gonna be really, really nice. Appreciate that. You're welcome. I got one response. It was from the guy

who doesn't live there yet. Zach was like, dude, yes. Thanks, boss. Yeah. Sounds good, boss. He didn't even live there. So,

but I think it's one of those things you don't realize how good it's going to be until it happens. And you're like, this is awesome. Yeah. I would never clean my sink.

It's pretty sad. Like, I've told myself for multiple months that, like, I'm going to clean the bathroom, me and Bradley Share. I probably, yeah, that would be nice. And I haven't. And I was like, I knew if I just waited it out long enough, I wouldn't have to. There you go. Not learning a lesson. Yeah.

So it's like, I definitely should have had to clean it out. I mean, I'll probably, I don't know. Got to think of it. I mean, I don't have to clean anything out. I don't know. Yeah. That's going to be really. I'm glad he's enjoying the house.

Yep. Yeah, he really is. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's been great. It's been great. It's so good, yeah. Time is not there, but he's in Arizona all the time. Yeah.

Do you guys go to do a win of the week or comment of the week? Win of the week. I want to push you in a. Yeah, no, I like that. A few different wins here. Win number one, 12 years of marriage. Blissful years. Good job.

January 4th. Yeah. celebrate the melting pot like we do melting pot so fun you gotta go the melting pot um so good so so fun uh i had another couple one of them was just general health i think just like sometimes you you forget that and especially this time of year it's like you hear like influenza a this virus this thing all the stuff's going around it's like we've been around lots of people and besides had he like struggling in the car for a second and like a few like little flare-ups from the kids. We've been generally healthy. I've never, I haven't gotten sick at all yet. I mean,

it's awesome. Oh, and then the other one was like along the same lines. I was driving today. There's like there's the intersection that I think about this every time I go. It's like Johnson Drive and Merriam Drive. You know what I'm talking about right by the train tracks kind of. And there was one time, I don't know how long ago, seven years or something. I was driving my old truck. And it literally like turned off on me as I was driving. And it's like a pretty big hill. and it like turned off like the electrical turned off so I couldn't even like the brakes didn't work so you stopped into the limo it's scary it's terrifying yeah and like you turn it turn it off and mine wouldn't turn back on it luckily I had a green light and so I was able to like go past it and like

get into a holy cow but yeah I thought I think about that every time I'm there because I'm like if I didn't have a green light I would have yeah I would have gotten in an accident go to the curb and yeah what would you have done yeah you hit a tree on purpose, I guess. Right. Brush up against a tree. And so win of the week is just continually just like remembering, yeah, the Lord protecting me then and also just like how I don't have to worry about that right now because I have a

car that I, you know, I have a reliable car. Like it's just a win of the way. The piece of mind of safety that comes along with things like that. It's one thing for it would be like, oh, bummer, my car won't start today. That stinks. It's another thing to be like, my car's turning off. It's a liability on the road. Yeah.

It breaks might stop. It was wild. So, anyway, I had that thought. So health in general, I guess. But that too. Fun. I'll do two. One is that since the new year is here in 2025 I was over,

Rachel and I can buy clothes again. Hey. And boy, have we already spent all the money we saved last year? It's fun. It's fun to be back, getting some new stuff. So that's kind of fun. And the second one is, you know, I think I mentioned on the podcast, Scott was able to quit his job and is going to go full-time with

Friday. Isaac is going to be able to go full-time with Friday. Everyone's getting these salaries. I think I have got to get one now. I'm going to get a pay stub. I look forward to a regular paycheck. Wow. I'll put,

I guess put money towards something. You'll figure that. Yeah, it's like, I don't know. I just look forward to stubbing like timing does. You'll love stubs. I don't know when. I don't know how much.

Fun. I don't know. Someday. We'll figure it out. But it's kind of fun. It's like, hey, this is starting to feel like a real company all of a sudden. This is nice.

Crazy. Yeah. Paste oven. That's fun. Yeah, but happy for Scott and Isaac for sure. Huge. Very exciting. Huge for the program, as we say.

Wow, that's cool. Timon, you got to win? Yes. I went to Oregon for fun with a couple friends. For fun. So it started out the idea. So Jenna, who's a ghosty and also goes to my church in Oregon. And she, like, reached out, like, do you want to maybe do some video stuff in my wedding?

And I was like, yeah, sure. ended up not happening, but I was like, she was like, you're still welcome to come. I was like, that sounds fun to just go to Oregon. And like, I have some distant family down, oh, down, down there, up there. And it was great. Me and some friends, Benji and JJ went to the wedding, went to hang out with people. And it was like, just a really good vibe. I was like, I want to just travel just because I can. Oregon's awesome. Yeah, it was really pretty. There might be by this episode, maybe I'll have some pictures on Instagram from Oregon. Hey, it was great. maybe yeah that was a win went went went all the way down to organ it's nice all the way down yeah

all the way down there Brad what's your comment of the week that's what I was just reading um I was looking at uh shirt mail cheerleading comments yes I'm looking at the episode for best ghost friends music 2025 with time in I like this one from Shannon Gero 707 all of us hearing uh this episode will be able to say I listen to the Timon before he was famous. I like that comment. Thanks. I mean, yeah,

Time had some, yeah, some funny. Timon as DJX was great, dude. It was so fun. And that song at the end was so sweet.

So good. That was fun. Yeah, thanks. It might, that song might go on Spotify. I think you should. I tried to,

I try to upload it and get it cleared like as a cover or whatever. I haven't heard anything back, but it might randomly surprise me and upload sometimes. So it might be on Spotify. Okay.

Sweet. Yeah. My comment on the week is referring to some other people caught it as well. But apparently the game that we played with Brad is something we've very recently done. And I still don't remember doing it. Apparently we did this like less than six months ago. Yeah. I don't remember it.

I had a blast playing that game. Kylie Leonard commented, ironic that Jake said he's never done anything like split second before when a few months ago he literally played it with Catherine. So whoopsie Daisy. I might have a memory issue. I didn't remember it either I mean and we only we didn't play as much as we did this past time
