Starting point is 00:00:12 No. I'll start with something. Phrases you don't hear anymore that I feel like people love to say back in the night, been watching some of these 90s jokes or 90s movies, people love to go, take it up with the judge. That's all I have. That's all I have for this one. hold. Yeah. What do you think?

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 a podcast. That's good. That's good.

Oh, take it up with the judge. here's one yeah talk to the hand because the face ain't listen yes dude that was a big 90s yes uh like just slap slap slap in the face like come back come back yeah it's over it's over like you know like they're i'm innocent i'm innocent and the police officers goes take it up with the judge i don't know i just don't feel like no one says that anymore i imagine how cool you'd feel being that police officer i randomly said it to hadie like jokingly the other day and I realize like I don't think anybody ever says that anymore bring it back.
Starting point is 00:01:42 What was that noise? Rapping paper? Yeah. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Natural selection.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah. I feel like Rachel and I were in the car just last night and we said something that we were like that's such a 90s movie. I'm not going to remember it. But man, they had a lot of good phrases back then. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:02 I'll see you in court. Yeah. That's adjacent to talk to the judge. Yeah. Yeah. You'll be hearing from me. Yeah, in court. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:09 They say that? You'll be, you'll be doing something in court. You'll be doing some in court. Hey, go to court and you'll be, you'll be doing something. That's what they say. That's what they say. All right, so, Timon, we've done our 10%. Yeah, we started 80%.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Saw the steak of them here. Yeah. New haircut. We're going to head out. Was it like that last time we recorded, sorry for not noticing. Yes, but it's okay. I mean. The headphones mask.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yes. It is true. Yeah. The headphones, it looks pretty normal. with the headphones on. Yeah, you're right. It doesn't look that abnormal without them. Show, show everybody.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh, that's good. Give the ladies a little glimmer. Oh, nice, nice little shimmer. Shimmer in the glimmer. I do have one thing I could talk about if that is helpful. Sure. One thing. One thing, 80%.
Starting point is 00:02:56 All right. Yep. It's a big long thing. Have you guys ever seen a movie in 4D? Have I ever seen a movie in 4D? Experienced it in 4D. The fourth D being... No.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Take your guesses, smell or a splash. I know it starts with an S. It's a, uh, since, since, any sensation. Sensation. Sensation.
Starting point is 00:03:17 In the S. Yeah. But the, but it has to have four Ds it's he says. Oh. So it would be drama drama drama. Drama. Drama.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Drama. Drama. What would the four? It's, it's, it's like, dystopian. This is Avatar.
Starting point is 00:03:35 The new avatar is a 40. Dystopian. Dystopian. Dystopian. Dystopian. dystopian has four D's. Yeah, if you go in and count drama. I was thinking like the four Ds of this movie.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I'll be honest. Dramatic, dystopian. Yeah, let's go back to. Deluded. How many movies have you seen in 3D? Me? One. Me?
Starting point is 00:03:52 I think Avatar won. Okay. Never seen that. I think maybe we've gotten close to 4D that the movie theater uptown, you know, where your seat shakes. Does that fall under the sensation? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The fourth sensation. That's a 4D.
Starting point is 00:04:07 D. That's the fourth D. Did we do it? If your chair shakes, are you 4D? Yeah, I mean, that's like one of the layers to it. It's layers. We thought it was sensation. So this was Avatar 3 that I'm talking about because I did see this movie in 4D. Avatar 3 and 4D.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Follow along if you can at home. Maybe get a pin and paper out. 2.13 minus 163. I had never seen a legit movie in 3D. I had seen trolls 3 in 3D with Zach one time. That makes sense. Trolls 3D. In 3D. I bet they loved advertising. Hey, it's Trolls 3D. Do you remember that? I don't know what the year was 2012, probably. Everything was hitting its third movie right when 3D was hitting. Shrek 3D, toy story 3D.
Starting point is 00:04:53 What do you think came first? Like the emphasis for 3D or? We got to hurry and make this third movie. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I feel like, yeah, they just overdid it. Yeah, like animated comedies were like it's in 3D now. I don't know if we need this. Dumb and Dumber 3D. Yeah. It also didn't work. Like when we saw trolls, just nothing was actually 3D. That was my, it was just blurry, basically.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I went and saw the movie, Hugo. You seen that one time? Yeah. It's like, it's like a time in movie for sure. No way is Jake seen that movie. It's just because it's a clean Martin Scorsese movie. So I just would have happened to see it. It was like an artistic kiddie movie.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And I was like, why are we here watching? It was like New Year's Eve or something with my family. It was in 3D and I was like, this doesn't need to be 3D. Yeah. But then you take them off and you can't see. Uh-huh. there's no escape. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So 4D. So 4D. We're still got 3D glasses on. How many people went with you? It's like, how many people went with you? to the screen. Like 15. 15. 15. Divided by 3. 5. 5. Okay. Well, it could have been 12 people. Divided by 3. 4D. It's visible by 3D, though. It sounds like 15 or 12. There's a lot of things that go on. There's less things that they advertise, but still a lot of things. So it's a lot of seat. movement that's like not just like shaking, but it's like we're swaying with these creatures flying. Like some rolls, some pan, some tilt. Yes. Yes. At one point, Zach was on his back. Zach said he almost fell out of his chair multiple times. Yeah. It was kind of scary. I'll be honest,
Starting point is 00:06:21 I almost fell on my chair. Because it would like, it really would tow the line of how far it could tilt your seat forward. Really? You're not buckled in in anyway. And it's like no one fell out, but it was, it felt close. I love the idea of things. I'm thinking of like a 78 year old man. Just like, I like the first two. Let's go see this one. And then you just see them like seven minutes into the movie, be like, what the hell was that?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Just like on the ground. Just, yeah, eating some popcorn or something. No seatbelts. No seatbelts. And I really didn't know what exactly to expect, but just 15 seconds into like the 4D experience starting, which like right at the beginning of the movie, you're like starting to float around
Starting point is 00:07:04 because it opens with like a flying seat. everyone was just dying laughing in the theater. Really? Yeah. And it was kind of how it was for the whole thing. Anytime like an action scene would start back up, it would just get funny. So if you're if you're trying to like really invest and enjoy a movie, I would not go see it in. 2D.
Starting point is 00:07:21 2D ideal. 3D maybe. It would. Yeah. But like at the same time, every time there was an any kind of action, I bet you were like, let's go. Here we go. Here we go, boys. I definitely was.
Starting point is 00:07:33 So my sister Anna came and she. about an hour in was like this she hasn't seen the first two she's like I think I'm getting the idea this is not for me I'm trying to get out of her chair but she couldn't get out she was trying to sleep and she was like she was trying to sleep okay I think
Starting point is 00:07:49 eventually she gave it she's like she's just so tired she was like every time I would almost fall asleep a scene would start up again and I'd just start it back up again and I'd just start shaking around that I couldn't sleep I would get spad on by a dinosaur I don't know what avatar yeah the the problem what so there's like wind involved too
Starting point is 00:08:05 but it's just the loudest wind machine ever. It was like a high pitch like and so just any So you could hear the dialogue. Yeah, it could have been impactful and it could have been like
Starting point is 00:08:18 oh this is cool it's like I'm there but it's just like it would just drown out the movie I try to think of what else there was like four instances of a little bit of misting so like a little bit of water
Starting point is 00:08:28 would splash the camera and we'd feel a little bit of water so the fourth D actually it does have a lot to it there's plenty and plenty On the sign, like when we enter the 40 theater, it said some things that we never experienced. Like smell.
Starting point is 00:08:41 That's what I've always wanted. That's what I want. Yeah. That sounds scary. Like what did they? Yeah. How much testing are they actually doing for each specific movie? Like, oh, let's get this specific.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'm just worried it would smell disgusting. I agree. It would go wrong. And the theater would, you'd walk in and you'd already smell all the smells. I think so. They're not, the carpet in there is, is going to absorb all that smell. Yeah. So I don't know if anything.
Starting point is 00:09:04 actually doing smells. Okay. But I didn't know that we had advanced into 4D. This sounds like something you have to do at Universal Studios. You're going to say it's like a Disney World Ride. Yeah, I've always the first. It's a B&B, B&B. And I think one of the big ones. I want to say maybe some AMCs do it.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I don't know. But yeah, it was the movie good? The movie was pretty good. I think it would have been better without like, gotcha, it trying to immerse me more. But it was pretty good. one of those like weirdest ones was like and this only they saved it for more halfway through like a character would get like shot in the back with an arrow and you'd get a little a little poke in
Starting point is 00:09:47 your back oh and or like they would fall in the ground and you'd field in your butt like it would like a little poke up the butt not up the butt onto the butt no no up the butt's fine okay yeah yeah yeah just trying to sleep just getting poked up the butt's like okay get out of here dude So you would do it again? Sounds like... I don't... Everyone's laughing. It sounds like it was a fun experience.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I don't do it again with a lower rate movie, maybe. Go watch Home Alone. He's getting beat to shreds. It's a second half of the movie. Yeah, the guy slips on the ice and you're like back on your back. How? I think, yeah. Freezing cold.
Starting point is 00:10:22 If it's a movie I'm not expecting... Like, I don't want to be emotionally invested in, then yes. It would add to the... Especially if it's like a comedy, would add to the humor for sure. How could you make it even more insane? though. Yeah, like, like, they're in the desert and they just absolutely douse you with, like, heat. Yeah. Douse? I don't know if you douse with heat. Douse with heat. Yeah. Heats more dry. Douse with, yeah. But like, and then all of a sudden it's, it's, you know, they're in the winter and you're just
Starting point is 00:10:49 freezing cold. Like they, they have like heated seats. That's not that hard. Yeah. Okay. Temperature for sure. For sure. I like that. Hot and cold. They can do that quickly. Yeah. We have microwaves. Smell, I agree, would be awesome, but also. Yeah. Not, not, not going to be really. like repeatable. What about, you know, in Breaking Bad? Yes. Yes. You know where I'm going with this? So far, so good, yeah. They seem to have, once they were below the laundromat, some state-of-the-art air filtration systems.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Oh, yeah. What if we built the theater in a meth lab where like the air gets filtered out very quickly? It's like a fresh, scene, fresh smell back to fresh linens. Like ozone, like filters or something. I'd like that to be involved. Okay. Ozone filters. That's how we solve that problem. They have a way to very quickly get rid. Keep it in and then quickly get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I wouldn't. So heat to cold. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't hate having like, like people working there that like do put hands on you. Like or like move your face around a little bit. Like yeah, a little bit. Just everyone's not not every time.
Starting point is 00:11:51 But yeah, maybe at some point you lose your sense. You lose other senses. You lose you can't see something. Like they put some blindfold over you or they gag you or something like that. Yes. I think. Yeah. You know, all of mine are just comparisons to the other thing.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Uh-huh. Some of these state-of-the-art football fields, they will, like, grow the grass outside, and then they will wheel it into the dome, so it's like natural grass. I like where you're going. There's, like, conveyor belts under all of our feet. So, like, their terrain is our terrain. Yep. All right, everyone's feet up.
Starting point is 00:12:22 There's like a little, like a light in the corner that means feed up. And when you let your feet up, he's in the desert now. Let's roll the sand in. Bring in the sand. Put your feet back down. Oh, I'm in the sand right now. I like bringing in the sand. Yeah, bringing in the forest.
Starting point is 00:12:35 It's got to be hot, hot, hot, hot. It's got to be like, whoa, I don't really want to touch the sand. He better get out of here. Right. What do you think of this? Okay. Each, like, each seat, you're a different character in the movie. So it's like, it's, it's just making it less and less enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Like, the scenes that that character's not in, like, you can't see the movie. Oh, you're just, you're completely out. Basically. I think so. And then, like, you just, you pay extra to be the main character. Okay. Unless that main character is, like, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Not doesn't have good stuff happen to it. Okay, well, but you don't know. You haven't seen the movie. Yeah. I have an idea. I'm going to give you the setup and then you guys are going to tell me like what we do with this. Okay. Sex scenes.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Go. Okay. So, uh, Tim and what are you going to say? Yeah. Yeah. They can touch you. They can touch you.
Starting point is 00:13:23 They can gag you. God was already prepared. Too far. Sounds like we already answered this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, smells. Yeah, there would be chits and chats. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I did have something moving on from that. Mariah Garrett works at Sight and Sound. They don't do that, what you just said in Sight and Sound theaters. They do kissing? I don't know. I've seen them embracing a nice hug before. Oh, bad. You know, but David and Bathsheba.
Starting point is 00:13:56 They kissed. They were kissing, I think. But in David, she talks. about how I think it was David. I think Mariah, tell me if I'm wrong on all this stuff, but there's like another level to sight and sound. There's like a basement that has like a full set. And they like like like change them up at certain points of the, I don't know if it's like on a like a rotating like it like like flips and like there's another set or how it works. But like what if yeah, what if similar to the sand thing like there's somehow like on the ground
Starting point is 00:14:28 there's one thing and then it just flips up and around and then all of a sudden we're somewhere else we're doing something like whether it's grass or grass maybe wheat you're in a field it's hard to see you're a settlers movie it's a catan movie maybe it's rock or or depending on who you yeah how fancy you are um this is taking the conveyor belt idea but making it flip i don't i don't want to i don't want to be exclusive one way or the other i think we do both I think we have conveyor belts that come in and out, but then you think, oh, wow, that's cool. They had one option. They changed it to sand at one point.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Psych. So do, do, do, do, do, do, do. It's not like a loop. Price is right. You know, they have like the big showcase showdown wheel. It's like that. There's tons of different options on there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:18 What do you think? While one layer is above ground, the other layer is being worked on. Yeah. They're preparing the other watering the seeds. The bottom half of the wheel. And you know what? Just to make it like a pleasant experience. sounds like this already be pleasant, but while they're eating food in the movie, guess what we
Starting point is 00:15:33 get? The same food. Yeah, it would be nice. Oh, that does sound nice. But movie food, a lot of movie food, like, when there is food shown on screen, it looks really good. Truly. You seen Ocean's 11, Brad Pitt's always eating in Ocean's 11, and it always looks like, man, that looks like a fun. I also, I feel like actors learn how to eat in like some satisfying way. It's like, makes the food look better. I don't know if that's true. When you were on set, did they, um, did they, like, spit out their food when they were eating it? Because I know that's like a thing, right? Like, so that, that way they can do like multiple takes while they're eating. I don't think so. I don't know if we ever did either had that much food being eaten or did that many takes for something. I see.
Starting point is 00:16:13 You guys just CGI'd all the alien food. Yeah. All the plasma plasma burgers. Get that in post. Yeah. That's fun. So, yeah, I don't know. I'd be interested in going to, to a movie like that. Yeah. For fun, not for the movie aspect necessarily, but for the experience.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah, that's why I was like, it was a good, potentially one-time experience, but I'm glad I did it. Hmm. I don't hate, I'm actually thinking now,
Starting point is 00:16:37 like, a movie like Castaway, there's a, there's a plane crash at the beginning. Like, buckle me in and rock my world during that scene. Like, truly throw me around.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I signed the waiver. Yeah. I was going to say, did you have to sign some sort of like, no, it was, nothing was ever, like,
Starting point is 00:16:54 quite, like jarring enough. I don't think to warrant that. Also, the other seats, mine didn't have this, had little like things that would tickle the back of your legs. That sounds made up. But it was like a little... That was Zach. A little like
Starting point is 00:17:08 wand of some kind, or like a little flexible stick that would like whip back and forth. I don't remember, I don't know what scenes that would have applied to. The leg ticklers? But... Maybe like when they're going through grass or something. Could have been. You're going through the tall grass. Yeah, I like... I like the idea of going to the extreme with it.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Like that, that to me is like, that's an experience. That's something you post about on social media. Like, look at my, you know, friend. I got a black eye because I watched Castaway in theaters tonight. Like, yeah, plane crashes are real, guys. Castaway might be a great one to implement everything we've talked about. You get the- How would we get buoyant?
Starting point is 00:17:45 I think that, that's, that's fun to think about, right? Yeah, anti-gravity potion, maybe. That could be the fifth D. But yeah, I think, like, you start. start make it real cold in there once he gets to the island. And then that way you can really celebrate when he finally makes the fire. Like you celebrate with him. Yes. Yes, we did it. We made fire. Yeah, that'd be no. That sounds great. But then, yeah, you're not eating, you're not eating good in that movie. True. Maybe, yeah, I don't know about that. How to think about that. Fun.
Starting point is 00:18:15 You ever seen a volleyball take home? Hook? No. Back in the day, once. Okay. There's just a scene in it where they basically like imagine all this like food and they have like this massive feast and it looks like the best feast ever. For that reason alone, I would watch a hook. Yeah. I think I would do that with like Scooby-Doo the movie where he just like,
Starting point is 00:18:37 and just takes like the 18 hot dogs at once. Yeah, they're all connected to each other. Have you ever seen one of those in real life? I don't know what it is. Sausage links or is that ring bologna? What is it exactly? Why are they all connected like that? Cartoons do love those, don't they?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Seems more difficult to carry transport. Scooby loved them. Yeah. We'll Google it. Scooby-Doo sausage. Blanks. They have like their own brand of sausage. Yeah, they kind of do.
Starting point is 00:19:07 What was that? Oh, well. It'd be fun. That's fun that you did that, timing. What was that last night? No, this was a couple weeks ago. Nice. Had it written down.
Starting point is 00:19:15 It's always there. So there's May 80%. That's pretty good. Thanks. You did a good job. Got us a good amount. I went to the melting pot for anniversary, like I said. It was a great time.
Starting point is 00:19:28 We've, yeah, 12 years, we've been married. And I made the joke. Tell me if this is an inappropriate joke. If it's an inappropriate joke, then I'm not going to make it. Got it. I was like, oh, 12 years. 12 years of slave. Nice.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Inappropriate? I haven't seen the movie, so. Me neither. So I have no idea what it's about. I've been married 12 years, so I'm 12 years. so I'm 12 years of slave. I think that's... Is that inappropriate?
Starting point is 00:19:55 I won't make the joke. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, no, I think you can't make that joke. I just want to make sure. Timon, is that a sick joke? It landed for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Sick joke. That would be sick. 12 years of slave would be sick. And anyway, but while we were at the melting pot, Catherine, the other day was like, did you talk about the waiter at the melting pot? I don't think it's that amazing, but I think it's kind of funny. This guy, every time we made any sort of like,
Starting point is 00:20:20 whatever, like any sort of joke or just lighthearted remark. Sure. Hugo, that's funny. And it was just great. It was just like, thanks, man. Like, it was like he's never heard a joke before. It seemed legitimate. He was like, dang.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Yeah. He had an aspect of humor to it. It was like, it was like he had no idea that somebody would be a joke. So somewhat, like, not even like, like, like, uh, like I was like, do you guys have Mr. Pib? He's like, uh, we have, we have Dr. Pepper. And I go, oh, Dr. Pepper. I didn't even want Mr. Pepper.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I want Dr. Pepper. Okay. Yeah, just like a dumb joke. A two out of ten. That's funny. Okay. Dude, that's the kind of waiter you want. Honestly,
Starting point is 00:21:00 two out of tens are getting those kind of jokes. Yeah, that's nice. It was fun. So I bet 10 times that night. That's funny. Huh. I wouldn't have thought of that. I kind of appreciated it, though.
Starting point is 00:21:10 That's funny. Yeah, that's, hey, can we get more of the pretzels? We just love those. You know, I just, it's, it's just like, we've been here a lot of times. We're kind of veterans at this. so we know what we're doing. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah, I'll get you some more. I like this guy. Yeah, it was. It was a great guy. That's funny. That's funny. So, anyway, Catherine's like, you got to tell that that's funny thing. I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I got to tell it. I went out to dinner last night, and I'm trying to think of one even somewhat remarkable thing about our waiter. He might have been the most forgettable waiter. And that's not even a bad thing. That's like he was just. Yeah. He was a fastball right down the middle. Yeah, he was the most un-podcast worthy.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Here we go. Here we go. It's happening. Here we go. The theater. Here we go. The studio's falling apart. Where'd you all go?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Went on a double date to Cactus Grill. Oh, how fun. You get a little pollo-o-magnifico. No, I went to high school with a guy whose last name was Magnifico, though. Yeah. Really? Yeah. How was he?
Starting point is 00:22:11 Average. Dude, he could hit some home runs. Sure. He hit, I don't know if it was three or four, but in one game. For real? I think he hit three home runs and then like a double. off the wall. He had four bats against Ashgrove. We beat him 28 to zero. He had three home runs out of the park. Yeah, dude, this guy was a beast. Didn't play any other sports. I'm pretty sure he was
Starting point is 00:22:31 like smoking cigarettes by the age of 14. Yeah. You have tattoos? No, I don't think so. Probably now, surely. Did you have any high school kids that had tattoos? We had a few and they were scared the heck out of it. How did you even get allowed to do that? Yeah, there were a couple. Honestly, my friends, they like branded themselves. Which is a next, that's a different level. That's different, but also similar. Yeah, it's like stupider, more dangerous, but I'm not scared of you as much. Yeah, I could probably figure out how to do that.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah, it's like, oh, you were just dumb on a Friday night. These people who like got tattoos. They went somewhere. What kind of life of crime are you headed down? Yeah, what kind of dad you got that lets you do that? Yeah, Nick Magnifico, I know what he's up to now. The dude, all he knew how to do was hit home runs. It was awesome.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Wow. No other sport. I don't know if he did anything else. Just hit dingers. Did you see? Was he big boy? No. Just a just, I mean,
Starting point is 00:23:31 pure hitter. Just a guy who had a swing for the fences. Yeah, he was awesome. You ever hit one out of the part? I never did. Practice. But no. Man, I got close a few times.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah. And there were a few times. Did you ever play at like random fields that were like 210 to right field when you were a little kid or something? And it was like, dude, this is it. If it's going to happen, it's going to be today. Invite the grandparents of this one. I swung so hard.
Starting point is 00:23:55 It was so stupid. Like, I never, never, you got close those times. Yeah. Do you remember your first time going up against a left-handed pitcher? Yes. Wait, you batted. I was lefty, though. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:07 So, yeah, what was your? It was terrifying. Yeah. And I was like, this is what Ritees do every time. Yes. So, Simon, let me translate to you and or anybody else in the audience that does not. Someone throws stage right. stage right put in words he can understand
Starting point is 00:24:21 pitcher of course I'm not I'm not trying to patronize you time it but no I appreciate you're up to bat you're straight ahead of you yeah if you're right hander you are on the I guess if you're looking at the pitcher you're on the left side of the plate yep okay so if a pitcher's right handed and you're right handed batter
Starting point is 00:24:39 the pitcher would throw the ball kind of close to yeah over your left shoulder so it looks like they're kind of coming towards your your your body. Yeah. And I'm a left-handed batter, so I'm on the other side of the plate.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Right. And so I never, like, it's very, it's much more rare for people to throw left-handed than right-handed. And so I never felt that for the longest time. And then all of a sudden, this, this kid threw pretty hard. And it was like, whoa, whoa, he's about me. Every time. Did you feel weird about it?
Starting point is 00:25:08 Or did you think, like, this is awesome? So I had the opposite. So growing up, just like a baseball fiend. So what happens to, like, pro baseball a lot is, like, they will bring in a new pitcher. just there's two outs. We'll only need to get one more out, but the next guy is left-handed. They will bring in a left-handed pitcher just to face this one batter. Wow. Okay. Yeah. That's how significant the lefty on lefty or the righty like advantages. So growing up watching baseball, yeah, you like see, oh yeah, they might bring in
Starting point is 00:25:36 the righty to face, you know, boo-holes here or whatever. Yeah. And it wasn't until I'm like 17 years old that I experienced it for the first time where it's like, oh, I've got a lefty pitcher and like seeing his kerball, I'm like, this is so easy. Yes. Oh my God. This actually is a big difference. You wouldn't think, like, what's the difference? Like two feet from like a right-hander to a left-hander, you know, and where the ball comes from. But it's the way it comes at you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Huh. It just looks like his arm is going right at your head every time, right at your head. And then all of a sudden it just moves away. It's like that. I don't like that at all. Yeah, it just seems so much easier to identify anything off speed and just like, yeah, just the angle it came in at, it was just so much easier. Man, why didn't I start batting left-handed my whole life?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Yeah, that would have been so much easier. You would have been a kid that learned. how to pinch it. I could see you. Like if you, you would have got obsessed. Yes, switch hit. And pinch hit because you would have been switched. And who knows? Yeah. Yeah. I think you could have, you could have like obsessed enough to figure that out. I did a little bit, but not I was like too scared to try it in the game. It's like I'm not going to ask coach if I can go
Starting point is 00:26:35 left handed. Yeah. What if I strike out? It's over. I'm never going to get another chance. Scott was pretty good, uh, switch hitter. Yeah. As like a backyard, you know, a little ball kind of thing. Like he would, he would go back both ways, but still does go both ways, but with his pickleball swing. Yeah, he's got two-handed backhand. No, dude. What was I guess? Oh, yeah, Bo and Henry both left-handed.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It's pretty sweet. I know. Wow, Henry, you can already identify him. Unofficially. I mean, it seems, a verbal commitment. Left-handed eater. That boy eats, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Have you seen him lately? He's 85 pounds. I mean, he's huge. I have not seen him. He likes to eat. He's huge, dude. He's heavier than Rosie is, I think. Like, he's just, and he,
Starting point is 00:27:17 I mean, I don't know if this is because. because he's our fourth or what? We are so much more like tired, I guess. So we just don't like push the vegetables as much. Like we'll try to give him vegetables and he'll be like, no, I don't want those. And I'll go, you need to eat vegetables. You need to eat this before you have any more of this. And he won't eat it for like, you know, three more minutes.
Starting point is 00:27:37 And then finally I'm like, all right, here's more chicken. Here's a pancake. Yeah. Here's carbs and protein. That's all he eats. And he downs it. Last night we had chicken meatballs. And I think Rosie had three.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Bo had four, Hattie had four, and Henry had eight. Just go into town, dude. Is he pooping? Oh, yeah. He's doing just fine. He's living a great life. He just eats, man. He doesn't know how good he has it.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Pizza, he loves pizza. I mean, he's just going for it. Eight chicken meatballs. Like it was nothing, dude. A lot of protein. I bet, yeah, I was going to say, I bet that's 45, 50 grams of protein. Yeah, tons. Just going to town.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Oh. Jake, you tired? I don't know why you're tired because you know what? Main Street Roasters got me buzz, buzz, buzzing. I love drinking coffee now.

Or building something. I think it's a multi-use project. There's a lot of things going on. When I got back from Florida, I saw a note in our mailbox from, Patty that said, hey, Mr. Jake, Ms. Rachel, I was wondering if I could build a seesaw. Oh, yeah. A sees.
Starting point is 00:29:55 So I think she spelled it. Oh, yeah. She's trying like crazy on spelling. Yeah. Mispelling a lot, but she's going for it. You know, it's like in that phase where she's just writing. And it's like, I know what you're trying to say here. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Yeah. She went five out of six on seesaw. I could figure it out. Okay. And I didn't know what that meant exactly. Can I build a seesaw or whatever it said? But then, yeah, in the, in the y'all. yard yesterday.
Starting point is 00:30:19 It's just Bo and Haddy, a wagon, and a ton of wood. Like a good amount of wood that they wheeled over in the wagon. Really? And it was great. They kind of come over right when I was leaving. So I was just like, all right, what's the project today, guys? What are we working on? And Hattie's like, well, Bo is doing a lean to over there.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I was like, Bo's doing a lean to? She said that? I did not know she do that for you. I was doing a lean to, I think, over there. I was like, yeah, I'm doing a lean-to-he. I was like, that makes it. We needed one over there. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:52 And Hattie was building a tree house. Okay. Very good. But then in the back, she claimed we already have our seesaw in the back. We already have that. I was like, oh, great. Oh, in your back? I thought she may be, the other day I was coming home and they were planning your house,
Starting point is 00:31:09 and they had this 12-foot-long twig, or stick, a massive limb, basically, from your tree. And they're like, hey, can we take this home? We want to make a seesaw out of it. Okay, maybe it was okay. That's what they were referring to then. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, good amount of wood.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And I mean, by the time I was there, I mean, Haddy was already nailing it and just nailing wood into wood. Really? Yeah. Looks like she was being pretty careful. I mean, just like tapping that thing. Yeah. But she wasn't going to hit her finger.
Starting point is 00:31:36 That's for sure. For real. And being real gentle. I need to see what kind of wood they're using. I told them they could use my wood, but I, the other day I saw they were using my good wood. I was like, hey, don't use that. So I had to go back there. It seemed decent.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Beau showed me, he's like, look what I got. And it was like a little doorknob. Oh, yeah. He found that. He's like, dad, can I use this for my fort? I was like, sure. And he's like asked about it. Dad, can we put the doorknob on the fort sometime?
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah, he's like, this is going to go on the tree house. Oh, that's amazing. That was awesome. I overheard Hattie today talking. to Catherine. She's like, can we go to the library and run out a book about how to make forts? Like, she's like into whatever this is right now. That's so fun. Which is sweet. Yeah. They've been all doing all sorts of stuff lately, man. So the other day, Catherine went on a walk and Hattie was like, hey, dad, I want to surprise mom. I want to make scones. I can do,
Starting point is 00:32:34 I can do it all except for the oven. I don't know how to use the oven very well yet. I want to surprise mom while she's gone. Cool. Haddy and Catherine made scones. for some little play date that Haddy had the other day. And so I think Haddy was confident enough with it. And so all of a sudden, Bo, Haddy, and Rosie are just sitting there. I'll put a picture up here, timing. Great. Sitting there and just having the time of their life for like 30 minutes making scones.
Starting point is 00:33:02 And then naturally, as kids do, all of a sudden, on a dime, it went sour. Not literally, but cry, yell, mean, picking on. All of a sudden, yeah, had he's got, you know, dough on her hands, goes to like try to talk to me is I thought I was dad of the year. I thought I was like doing like the right thing for like what I believe in and like how to parent your kids and let him be independent. I was like, I'm just going to let him go until they ask me a question. And it was going great. I was like, I'm a genius. This is great. This is how it's done. I'm playing with chubby Henry in his room and just doing our thing. I'll just feed Henry the whole time you're doing this. Right. Like don't let Henry
Starting point is 00:33:34 know that you guys are making food or it's over. I'm distracting him. And all of a sudden, had he comes in or tries to come in and like opens the door or like, tries to knock on the door with her doughy hands. And then apparently like, Bo's in this mood right now where just playfully, he just punches people. Like, and it's like,
Starting point is 00:33:53 hey, you can't do that. You got to stop. Yeah. And so she's like, he like punches her as she's like trying to open the door. And so she gets dough all over the door. And so she starts crying.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Oh, door. Gets mad at Bo. And then I forget why Rosie was freaking out. Whatever, all these different things. And there's like, there's like flower all over them and stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And I was like, and Catherine comes home to this. Surprise. Now Henry's crying. He's like, am I not going to, get to eat scones. Whoa, whoa. Yeah. It's like that, uh, we're the Miller's meme where it's like, wait, you guys are getting paid for this? Like, uh, yeah, Henry's like, what, where's all this?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Can we resolve this and get those scones in the oven, please? To their credit. We need to surprise mom. To their credit. Skones were good. They, they, they, they ended up, they, they, they salvaged them. Haddy thought for a while that they weren't going to be, you know, good enough and they're good. So, but she's into that. Haddy's also, uh, working right now on organizing a book. club for her and her friends. She's a real trailblazer. Let's make scones. Let's build a fort.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Yes. And I'm proud of her for that because like, I don't know. She's not like this, I don't, I don't view her as like the leader of her friend group or anything like that. But she's like, we should do a book club. So she was just yesterday, I was teaching how to use Google Docs and like how to type out her questions and stuff, which is, it's fun to like teach somebody like the elementary aspects of stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:10 So like I taught her how to highlight a word. So it was like double click. I was like, whoa. I was like, do a triple click on it. And then it highlighted the whole, like, row or whatever. She's like, whoa. And that shoulder bold, Natalis, like all those very simple things. Yeah. She loved it all.
Starting point is 00:35:28 That's awesome. It was great. That's so fun. Does that come from, I think Patty and I are so similar as kids. Like, you get inspired by reading these little books and you're like, they did a book club. That sounds so fun. I want that. Yeah, I think she knows that Catherine's done some.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And yeah, I just had the, idea of doing it. And so, yeah, of course, all the other homeschool moms are like, you know, salivating at this. Like, yes, that's the best thing ever. Oh my gosh, book club, you know, whatever. Yeah, eight-year-old book club. Right. That is correct, though. Yeah. Who's, why would that not work? Right. Sounds awesome. All they do is, so how he has a few questions and then like has like a rating at the bottom like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. That's fun. So it's pretty cute. It's pretty fun. So, she's all over the place, man. She's, she's going after it. That's great. So. So. Trailbla,
Starting point is 00:36:14 laser. Seriously. But yeah, the fourth thing, I think it's fun watching them have like a project like that. Yeah. I had a little trouble. Look, I don't have this skill to really see things. So I had a little trouble seeing where things were going. But I was like, that's not, that's not my lane. I don't have that gift. So I'm going to trust them. And I just told them like, I have to leave, but be safe. Yeah. Have fun, you guys. Really be safe with the hammer. Seriously, they'll be safe. That's the first thing I'm saying. The hammer. That's going to hurt. Yeah. You're not. save. There's so many times where in my head, I'm like, they're not going to be able to do it by
Starting point is 00:36:48 themselves. Or like, I should intervene and do, I should just do it. Or like, and it's so hard. I'm just like, nope, let them go. Let them go. And if they ask for my help, I'll help them. And maybe they make a few mistakes. And they learn.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Of course. And yeah, just let them go, though. And they're having fun having the autonomy and like the power to do it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Rather than me being like, that's not going to work. You need to do this or you can't, that, that piece is not going to fit there. It's too long or too short.
Starting point is 00:37:14 whatever. It's like, just let them, let them go. Well, if you want to look at the wood, we got out in our garage. Because it was going to rain today. Oh, thanks, dude. That's kind of. Well, it's really nice wood. So we were like, oh, we should probably. Is it long? They're like, there was some lengthy pieces.
Starting point is 00:37:28 I don't know. I mean, there's some like this big. Okay. Some little slats, I would say. I'm trying to think of where they even got them. Yeah. Anyway. Bo asked me before he used it.
Starting point is 00:37:37 He's like, can I use some of your wood? Yeah. I thought to myself, he's not going to take all the good wood. premium alder, Bo? What are you thinking? He just brings over like a table that you've made in a wagon. So this will be the base of the tree house. Yeah. It's a nice flat floor. It'll be great. This will be how we get into the tree. It was kind of a step ladder. Anyway, Tim and you do anything like that as a kid? Like, I do remember lean to made me think of like down close to the pond on our property. There was like, we made a little shelter, like just found a bunch of. branches of similar length and just like lean them up all around like a tree and then you could like there's
Starting point is 00:38:17 a little bit of space under there is that what exactly what they had built okay great then i don't even know i was making sure the right idea of a lean to i i don't think i could use in the sentence very well like i don't that's definitely a katherine term or like a texas term no i my guarantee my family's never said lean to in their life yeah i mean just some sort of like shelter i think but it's like a pretty shoddy like shabby shelter, right? Yeah, it's just like... I think it can be like a shed, but I think normally it's like a stick based.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah. Yeah, I picture it's like, it's foundation, it exists because it can lean on something. Like, it's not that stable. I see. Like it doesn't, it cannot exist by itself probably.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Yeah, I think so. Okay. Um, I can't, I can think of that. I don't know if we ever like built. I don't know. I think we made a little bench with my dad one time.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Out of wooden nails and stuff. but that's like as far as like building forts. We never did a tree house. Okay. Didn't you have a story? Did you build a bird house? I don't know. Okay, maybe you did it then.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Someone of my life built one recently. But that was a big thing in like, I feel like public school, like take a shop class. Like you had to build a birdhouse. Oh, that was like one of the things. Yeah. Stratford schools. You weren't getting out of it. You weren't graduating without a birdhouse.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Well, it's survival skills. Yeah. It's the basics. It's what you have to know. They say you could build a birdhouse. You can build anything. I only did like nine weeks of shop class as a kid. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:41 And I hated it. It's so funny. They scared us. Mr. Bailey scared me straight. I mean, he just made me sound like, I felt like I was going to cut off my finger every single day. Like the way that,
Starting point is 00:39:53 oh, too much. We did so much safety training. And like, and I did not, honestly, I passed the test, but I didn't understand what I was,
Starting point is 00:39:59 I just learned the answer. Stay away from the Baylor. Oh, dude. Like the scroll saw, I was like, that day is going to cut off your finger in a minute. And I, I didn't understand.
Starting point is 00:40:07 did it. I think he, yeah, messed with my thinking too much. And so I was like, I'm not, I'm not a woodworker at all. I think that's kind of how I felt. So we had two options for like the like blue collar glasses. There was shop, which I forgot what it was actually called, machine machinery or something like that. But then there was woodworking. And so I just took woodworking because, yeah, shop was like, you get going crazy in there. I've seen what they do in there. Sparks flying in there. Yeah. Yeah. Woodworking feels a little more my speed. It feels like what Jesus would have wanted. I'm going to go the woodworking route. So I never did shop.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Right. Which woodworking with, you know, hand saws, fun. Nice. Relaxing. Yeah. And it's for the birds. It's for the birds. In a good way.
Starting point is 00:40:49 You and your speech impediment. I just really like the birds. Wobbins. Wobbins. Maybe Spanish warbler. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe a waving.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Maybe a waving. fingers crossed. Yeah. If we get lucky it is a full moon, maybe we can see a waiving. I don't know. What else? Go. Our word.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Pelican. Wobbin. Birds. Yeah, there's our arn birds. Very good. Small buds. Small buds. Man,
Starting point is 00:41:28 I'm quick on my feet. Yeah. You really aren't. You know what I thought of today? What, Brad? Brad, what? Sorry, what did you think of today? What?
Starting point is 00:41:38 I thought today that anyone who's a parent, or maybe even just in a family, but truly like I live my entire life. So improv is they always say like improv comedy, whatever is all about yes and. In other words like Jake makes a joke or Jake sets the scene and I just like, okay great, that's the scene we're doing. Let me add to that scene. Let me, you say the thing about the,
Starting point is 00:42:03 or I say the thing about the speech impediment and Jake goes with the Wobbins or whatever. Like yes and Wobbins. And I go yes and whatever. You guys understand it? Yes. Okay. I'm following it.
Starting point is 00:42:14 got this very basic thing that Jake knows a lot about. If you're a parent, your entire life, at least for the first like six years of a kid's life is yes and. I walked, I mean, as I'm like brushing my teeth this morning, I'm hearing Rosie playing restaurant with Henry while Bo is singing some song to himself while Hattie is doing heck knows what about, you know, whatever. And it's just like you walk into a room and you never know. know what the scene is. Yeah, the scene. And you just play along. It's like, oh, we're doing a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Okay, yes, I would like, I would love a cherry pie today. You guys are doing a play? Okay, can I have a, can have a part in it? Exactly. It's just constantly just yes and. And I'm like, oh, anybody that's like, I don't know how to think quick on my feet. Yeah, you do. You just, you just got to let somebody lob it up to you first.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Like, that's all, that's all parenting is pretty much for, at least for like, you know, the young kids years. improv. Yes, and. It kind of sounds like those, those breakthrough rooms. It's not really an escape room, but it is a room of just like random. You don't know what the goal is. Like you just have to take in all this information.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Like, all right, I think we're supposed to get the honey into the honeycomb with the three wands here or whatever. Yeah. All right. Let's do it. We had no idea what's going on here. Never knew this existed until 10 seconds ago. Now it's my life's mission to do it. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Yeah. So anyway, I just had that thought of like, yes, Ann. Yes. I mean, and that's, I can't think of the perfect examples, but like, there's so many things. I walk into a room and it's like, dad, can you read with me? I'm like, yes, I can't, you know, whatever. Like, okay, I'm a reader right now. Okay, I'm a cook right now.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Whatever. Yeah, or, oh, you're in a hospital. Okay. Am I injured or do you need like a head surgeon? Correct. Correct. Yes. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:58 And then Bo, as I'm, the surgeon, Bo comes in as a pirate. And I'm, you know, all right, now we're a pirate. Let's go. Whatever. Really stretches you as an actor. You got to be half pirate, half, you know. Yes. And, yeah, surgeon.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah. Let's see. Here's something kind of fun. Two nights ago, I think. I've been working all day. It's like 6.30. I'm like, all right, putting my phone down, closing the laptop. Rachel, like I have a nice dinner, we eat something. For whatever reason, I end up checking my phone. It's like 15 minutes later. I check my phone in the top message in our Friday Pickleball group chat is CEO Matt texting. It says, Isaac, do you want to look up flights to Shenzhen for next week? Yeah. In 15 minutes. What happened? We weren't talking about this. This wasn't at, I thought we were over it. Like, we got what we needed.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Oh, really? You thought like, it's not happening. Truly. I was so certain we hadn't talked about it in weeks. And yeah, the 15 minutes I put my phone down. I'm catching up a little sudden. It's like, yeah, Isaac's going to China by himself. Scott's not going?
Starting point is 00:45:07 Probably not. Okay. Scott texted me the other day. He's like, yeah, I might be going to China. Isaac. I was like, oh, okay. Okay. So Isaac's going solo? I was the one vouching. I think Isaac thought I was like demeaning him or something. I could be like, we can't send Isaac to China by himself thinking about like companionship or just like safety. And Isaac was like, I could stay out of prison, guys, I'll be fine. I was like, well, I think it'll be more fun. We should have someone go with you.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Yeah, 100%. China by yourself. Yeah. Just like, just in general, it's just not. not as fun to go anywhere by yourself, especially not a place where you can't speak to anybody. Yeah. Unless they speak English, of course. But he's pretty excited about it. And I think it's going to be kind of a quick trip. I don't know. So what's the main thought or idea behind going?
Starting point is 00:45:58 We are about to do a huge like production run of our next like big paddle. And so it's honestly just kind of a quality control thing. Like let's send to somebody there to just make sure they're doing this the right way because we're about to order like, yeah, 8,000 of a paddle for the first time. And like,
Starting point is 00:46:16 let's just make sure we can't have any screw up. Okay. Yeah, so there's some quality control stuff. So, um, and then, of course,
Starting point is 00:46:23 like, make sure it's good. So he's going to be like, yeah. No, he's going to play with it or whatever. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 00:46:31 See you guys. Yeah, it's good to see you, good to see you. How's your mom? On game day, pain can hit hard and fast, like the headache you get,
Starting point is 00:46:41 when your favorite team and your fantasy team both lose. When pain comes to play, call an audible with Advil plus acetaminophen and get long-lasting dual-action pain relief for up to eight hours. Tackle your tough pain two ways with Advil with Advil plus acetaminofin. Advil, the official pain relief partner of the NFL.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Ask your pharmacist at this product's rate for you. Always read and follow the label. So, yeah, and obviously, like, film some ads, film some content, you know, whatever. Like there'll be collateral benefits of being there. But yeah, I think Isaac's going in like, probably the week this comes out, honestly. Isaac might be on a flight to Shinsen.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Shinsen. So where exactly in China is that? Exactly. I need. Exactly. Where exactly? Longitude, latitude. Southeast.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Southeast. 39. 34. Okay. 39 terrace. Okay. 30. we got to China via boat and we went to like the Shenzhen like ferry or whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:47:47 That's what we got there. Okay. Because China's interesting. People probably remember me saying this like eight months ago or whatever, but it's a lot trickier to just go straight to China and kind of circumnavigate this by going to a different country. That's right. And then you went to Hong Kong? Yeah, Hong Kong. And then, yeah, swam over to China basically.
Starting point is 00:48:05 So, like Isaac do the same thing. Okay. Do you know what state it's in? I'm just looking at a map of China. Or maybe it is Shenzhen and I'm just not able to read it. I'm just curious. Shenzhen, that's in Guangdong. Is it actually?
Starting point is 00:48:20 It actually might be. I don't know. I know that's in the area. It's another big city. So maybe it's Guangxi. Oh, there's Guangdong. Guangdong, maybe. Oh, Shenzhen.
Starting point is 00:48:28 It's right there. Okay. I don't know if it's in that or it's either there or Guangdongxi. Oh, it's Shenzin is like on the coast, basically. Yeah, yeah. That was like the port. So is that like, you understand everything about China. So far I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Is southeast China the main, like, area that they do manufacturing? Or is it like the whole country, do you think? Is like, there's pockets of it everywhere? That's just the biggest city to get. So we go, we drive like three hours inland to the manufacturing. Like along that journey is where they were like telling us, like, here's where all the AirPods are made. Here's where like this is made.
Starting point is 00:49:03 So you said three hours inland. Yeah, like kind of northwest. Maybe Houdon. Could have been HUNN. Gishu. Could have been Gish. Maybe still in Guangxi. Maybe a little Guangxi.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Gunming, Yunnan, Sichuan. Sishuan's far. That's too far. Dude. But Shenzhen's a massive city. They're all massive cities. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:22 But yeah, from everyone I've talked to who's kind of been, they're like, you need to go to Beijing or Shanghai. Those are like, people speak English there. Sure. It's a little more in what you're used to. They don't really speak English in Shenzhen even? Not that I. Yeah, not in your experience?
Starting point is 00:49:35 Not that I experienced. Tim and guess how large Shenzhen is. in square kilometers. Square kilometers. In population. Two million. Okay. And then tell me wrong, first of all.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Two million? That's not even close. Okay. Okay. All right. No, that's one. Wow, that's crazy. I'm going to list of most populated U.S. cities.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I mean, it's probably larger than most cities in the United States. Yeah, I think it's bigger than New York or L.A. just give me the population of them. It's like, oh, it's New York, L.A., I don't know. Come on. How hard is it? Here we go.
Starting point is 00:50:23 So, wow. Yeah. It's got 17 million people in it. Oh, Shenzhen does. That's pretty good amount. The place that I didn't have, I had to ask you where it was in China. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:32 The largest city in the United States is New York City, eight million people. No way. So it's twice as big. And I'm like, what's that? What Shinsin? Is that like a state or a,
Starting point is 00:50:42 or, you know, is that small? Oh, do you put that on dumplings? Is that like a sauce? Is that where you got the parasite? Oh, I love dipping dumplings and chins in. Dude, holy cow, there are so many people in the world. That's crazy. Yeah, there's a lot over there.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Yeah. That's wild, dude. Okay. Maybe even 18 million, according to Jim and I. How often these days are you ever clicking anything besides just the AI of Google? You don't really need to scroll down to get your answer anymore. Nope. And even if it's wrong, I accept it and I move on.
Starting point is 00:51:18 I think, oh, there's no way of knowing. Uh-huh. Okay, I guess that's right. Yeah, it's crazy. It's just every time now. Anyway, that's fun for Isaac. Isaac going to China. I do wish, just for his sake, but I guess he's, I was going to say, for his sake,
Starting point is 00:51:33 I would love for him to have a companion, but maybe he wants to. I wouldn't hate going by myself. I think it'd be an adventure. He does seem genuinely excited, I think, for the adventure of it. Yeah. like just like visa and passport and like there's aspects of this like it helps to have another head in the huddle sometimes I think but i mean isaac's very competent and he'll be fine but i know him and scott would have so much more fun together yeah you know if they went together so
Starting point is 00:51:56 scott might go if it's like a 10 day trip scott's out but if it's like a five day trip i think scott's in uh i saw i'm never on our ghost friend's instagram but i was on there the other day trying to get hostage tape to be a sponsor of us oh nice uh that's when you were like hey do you log in whatever. Oh yeah, I was going to ask you about that. Are you mad? Yeah. You sent a thumbs up.
Starting point is 00:52:18 No, what? What? See. What do you mean? You reacted. When? I knew. I was almost positive this was an accident.
Starting point is 00:52:27 This is why I wanted to bring it up. Brad's been on record saying he hates when people give his messages a thumbs up. Oh my gosh. I did thumbs up this, dude. It was like 30 minutes after we were done chatting. And then just like a thumb. up came through to an old message. I was like, that's definitely an accident. It was Henry. Henry stole my phone.
Starting point is 00:52:46 His fat fingers typed it probably. What the heck, dude? I hate that. I'm removing it right now. I'm going to put a heart instead. I couldn't wait to bring it up. Yeah, I was so sure that that was an accident. It just didn't make any sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:00 I was like, dang, Brad is so mad. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Isaac, you would never. That's so funny. What was I said? Oh, I just saw that somebody commented that I guess you put on our ghosty story about you playing golf with Rindle Weaver. And I saw a comment that said, oh my gosh, it's crazy how much Rindle looks like Isaac, which you get a picture of those two together.
Starting point is 00:53:24 You wouldn't think that. I don't think. I think Isaac is six foot three. Rindle is five foot. Something. Now that that doesn't mean you can't look like somebody, but I would say Rindle looks more like Timon than Isaac, right? I think time is kind of the middle.
Starting point is 00:53:42 He is kind of the missing link. Yeah, missing link. Yeah, Rendell looks a lot like Isaac if you don't really know it either than look. If you're like, if you're in a 40 movie, where they're allowed to touch you. If you're going by just a vague memory of both of them.
Starting point is 00:54:01 That's funny. That's funny. That's funny. That's funny. That's funny. Hey, I love cozy earth. How do you feel about cozy earth? so glad they're back, sponsor. I am so glad they're back, and they're back with a vengeance. Not even for me. No? For them. For, we're pointing at you, Ghosties. Yeah. We're pointing at you. I just, it is, it is, it behooves. It's so behoving. It is such behovel,
Starting point is 00:54:25 behovel to everybody to be cozy and comfortable all the time. Like, Ta, now, take your headphones off. Listen to that pitter-patter. Dude, that's a solid pitter-patter. That's a solid, four and a half out of in rain. It's there enough to be there, but not so much that it's like... It's a cozy amount of rain going on right now. You're not worried about the sump pump being on yet. No, it's fine. No, this is nice. Minimal flooding in my basement. Minimal flooding,
Starting point is 00:54:51 but maximum coziness. So much cozy. I could see the Christmas tree, pitter, patter. Yeah, get some soft white lights going. You know, turn off the overheads and just enjoy some cozy earth, cuddle blankets, bed sheets, towels, whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Drape yourself in the proverbial pitter patter of a nice winter rain. Yes. In the form of their pajama sets or their joggers or their sheets. Those are probably the three biggest things I would recommend. And if you need a hand towel, don't let me stop. Yeah. I love their socks.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Yeah. You're right. If I had to pick three, I would agree. But I don't have to pick three because there's the whole thing on their website. Codesearth.com slash ghost runners. Use our promo code, GRC. Yep. 20% off.

Starting point is 00:55:41 Pitter-powder draping. Wear it. Live it, 4D. Perfect. So I'm finishing up a cop-drop. Let me tell you about one of the greatest sports experiences my entire life on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:55:53 People have told me. Did you hear what happened? To ask you about this, yeah. Really? Yeah, that's crazy. All right, timing. You thought 4D3 was 3D, Avatar 3 was a lot of numbers?
Starting point is 00:56:04 I'm going to throw some numbers at you. We're going to go slow. We're going to understand. So went to the KU. game Tuesday night with my dad. And first of all, just God love my dad. The game starts at 8 o'clock. What time we think he picks me up? Oh, this is a fun game. To go to Lawrence, which is 30 to 30, 30 to 40 minutes drive. I'm not going to try to low all you to make the answer to press. I'm going to try to nail it. Yeah. The game starts at 8. Yeah. And it's late. So really, if I'm like, if I'm doing it, like, let's get there at 745,
Starting point is 00:56:36 probably leave by 7. I'll pick you up at seven, Brad. Okay. What if you want to go dinner first? And you did do that? He wanted to go dinner first. Okay. So then I would say, gosh, your dad picked you up at like 5.30.
Starting point is 00:56:49 What do you think? I was going to say five. Yeah. Five would have been fine. Oh, no. It was five. And then he goes, hey, I think we should probably do 4.45. That's such a long evening.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Bo goes, why is Grandpa picking you up? I was like, he's picking me up at 4.45 because there's a game at 8 o'clock that we're going to. Dad, why is he got him up picking you up? in the daylight still. Dude, we got to the game. We got to the game after dinner. The band wasn't even playing yet for like the warm-ups.
Starting point is 00:57:16 It was just like PA speaker music. Like, I've never... Testing one, two? Like, what are we... And my dad, like, there's like this cool, like, the original rules of basketball. James Naismith's, like, written rules that they bought at an auction, like crazy cool story. You know, $4 million rules.
Starting point is 00:57:32 There's always a line to see them. And there was no line. And my dad's like, that's crazy. There's no line. I was like, dad, it's because we're here an hour and 22 minutes. it's early. I didn't even know they opened up the doors this early. You like left dinner ahead of time knowing like we're going to be an hour and 20 early. Yeah, I don't know. I mean,
Starting point is 00:57:47 we met my uncle and one of his friends for dinner. Okay. And they had GA seats, which just means like, you know, first come first serve kind of seats timing. And so. So it's like, yeah, might as well get there early. Maybe they were worried about timing. I don't know. Anyway. So I go with my dad. This is the first conference game in Allen Fieldhouse, big game against TCU. K you're supposed to win, though. And first half's looking good. We battle back. KU is up by, I think, three points a half time, something like that. Nice fun. Good game. My dad, you know, anytime anybody is at the game that my dad knows, he makes it a point. Like, we're meeting up with them at halftime. Love it. Like, I even was like, I'll just sit here and you guys, you go meet your friends.
Starting point is 00:58:26 He's like, I was really hoping you could meet him too. I was like, all right, let's go. And so we go. And we talked to this guy for a while. And so therefore, we missed the first, like, minute and a half of the second half. We come back, all of a sudden, KU's down like six points. I'm like, oh, this is not good. Then they just keep, TCU keeps like pouring it on. KU's down by 15 points. And it's like KU, Allenfield House timing is like this historic. Yeah. Home field, home court advantage, like people like KU, their coach, Bill Self, who have you met, you big, big Bill Self guy. Oh yeah. He's lost 22 times ever in Allen Field House. He's won like 320 times. So he like almost always wins pretty much.
Starting point is 00:59:07 So it's like crazy to like witness like, oh my gosh, like we're getting whoop. We're not just going to lose. We're getting whooped. Yeah. All these fans with like 12 minutes left in the game. Like it's like you never see this happen. 12 minutes left.
Starting point is 00:59:19 All these people just start filing for the exits. And I'm like, don't you dare. Don't go. We're down by 15 points. Yeah. Then then eight minutes left in the game, more people start filing out. It's like, this sucks.
Starting point is 00:59:31 We're still like down by 15. I think with five minutes, left in the game, we were still down by 15. So, like, I, maybe not half, but a ton of the, like, stadium is, like, gone. And my dad and I have always just been like, we're not leaving. We're here. We're paying for this. We might as well stay.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Enjoy our misery. But there's always a glimmer of hope in sports. For whatever reason, especially as Chiefs fans, we've had some miraculous comebacks. You see them happen every once in a while. It's like, who knows? If something crazy happens, whatever. And it happened, baby. Like, we were down by 15 points with less than five minutes left in the game.
Starting point is 01:00:04 and KU. I mean, I won't go into all the detail, but basically... I heard down like nine with a minute left. Correct. It was like... It was...
Starting point is 01:00:12 I mean, in Sandy, I saw a stat that only 13 times in college basketball history has a team come back from that much... I think it was 15 points last five minutes and won a game. Gotcha. In history.
Starting point is 01:00:25 So out of the thousands and thousands of games that have ever been played, and of course, we're just going nuts. I mean... You guys have five at a bunch? big time. We're high-fiving people behind us that we haven't talked to all game.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Like it's like, this is the time to become friends with everybody. You know? And it did also feel like, I just, obviously I couldn't talk to him, but I wanted to like point at those people
Starting point is 01:00:48 that left and been like, losers. That's what you get. You're not allowed to come back to a game. You're not allowed to. There's a few people. I watched a few people like walk down the aisles getting ready to leave.
Starting point is 01:00:58 And then like, KU made a shot and they're like, well, maybe I'll stay and just sit in this seat right here for a while. And I wanted to live. like called them out and be like you guys are about to leave because there's something about like I'm just proud of like never giving up. I think you and I have always been like it can't happen. We're always going to believe. We're always going to be positive. What if? You know?
Starting point is 01:01:16 And the way that we came back like whatever, I'll just tell you this really quick. So KU has this player, Darren Peterson. He's supposed to be like the number one pick in the draft next year. Like by far the best player that KU's like had in a long time. People are comparing him to Kobe Bryant. He's just amazing. But he's been hurt like on and off all. season long. And so he plays in this game, but like every once in the second half, just like automatically just has to go out of the game because he's cramping up. And it's just like so frustrating because he's got 29 points in like 25 minutes. Like this guy is amazing. So good. Just naturally just a score, whatever. And he's just like, like, Kay was making this massive comeback. And then two
Starting point is 01:01:54 minutes left in the game all of a sudden, he's like takes himself out. He's like, I'm out. I got to go. And so it's like, okay, I guess. And so we make this amazing comeback without our best player. and KU is down by three. TCU has the ball. They inbound it, and TCU guy, like, hits it off his hand. It goes out of bounds.
Starting point is 01:02:11 It's KU's ball with, like, five seconds left down by three. And they bring back in the guy that's cramping up all game. He's like, I can do it for one more, like five second thing. He gets the ball,
Starting point is 01:02:21 down by three, takes a three-point shot, gets fouled. Doesn't make it, but gets fouled with one second left on the clock. So he has to make all three of his free throws to take it into overtime.
Starting point is 01:02:32 And that's, that's like almost better theater than anything. Like three free throws where it's just like three moments. Yes. And it's and it's at home. And so like usually when you're at home and you're shooting free throws, it's dead silent. You know, like everyone always just like be quiet while they shoot. And so it's just like if he misses one of these, it's done. And he doesn't even touch the rim. He switches all three of them. And then he goes off the court. He's just like, he's like, he's like, he doesn't play any of overtime. I don't play defense or overtime. Honestly, it was one of those things
Starting point is 01:03:00 I was like, that was one of the craziest things I'd ever seen. Like, 15 down with five minutes left. I got to watch some highlights of this. You should. It's kind of unbelievable, like how it all went down. Wow. Because what happened was like, K. you would hit a three and be like, oh, let's go.
Starting point is 01:03:17 We're only down 12. And then T.C. would come back and hit a three right back. So it's like, dang it. Can't stop them. Yeah, we'd have to stop them a few times. And then KU would hit a three and they'd make it too. And it's like, dang, it's not going to happen. And all of a sudden, it just did.
Starting point is 01:03:29 And it was unbelievable. Yeah, it was so wide. Like my dad, like my dad sent me a text. He said at three different times in the game, I don't know how they do these stats, but you've seen them for chief stuff. TCU had over 99% chance to win. Like win probability.
Starting point is 01:03:46 At 438, it was 99.3. At 1.17, it was 99.6. At 5.4 seconds left, it was 99.1. And they came back in one. Crazy. So anyway, it was, it was just unbelievable. My dad was going nuts. You know, he was calling all his friends
Starting point is 01:04:03 after the game. I can't believe I've never seen anything like that. What time do you guys get home? Probably like 1145. Wow. Yeah, pretty crazy. So should we continue the sports hour? Are you going to watch NFL playoffs this weekend? Yes, but I need to like look up when they are.
Starting point is 01:04:20 You know what I mean? Like I don't know the matchups or anything like that. But I do, this is like my favorite NFL weekend of the year, I think. Yeah, because when we're recording this, the playoffs haven't even started yet. So there's a lot of games. Yeah. Yeah. I'm excited.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Who's your team now? Who do we root for? I mean, besides the Chiefs. I've always been on the Josh Allen. I like Josh Allen train. And I'm with you there. Yeah. People expect us to hate Josh Allen. Seems like a cool fun guy.
Starting point is 01:04:44 And it'd be fun to like let him win one. Let him win one. You know, like not truly. You know what I mean? But like, it'd be fun to like have him win one when it's not at the Chief's expense. That's a good point. You know, obviously like the Chiefs are in the playoffs. So that's their expense.
Starting point is 01:04:56 But like, at least he's not having to beat the Chiefs to get there. The narrative is also like pretty tougher. Like there's a lot of pressure. It's like, if Josh Allen, and doesn't win. Right. The one playoffs where Lamar, Joe Burrow,
Starting point is 01:05:06 Mahomes are not in it. Right. Then it looks bad. So yeah, I think I like the bills. And maybe, maybe in the NFC, who would I like?
Starting point is 01:05:15 I mean, obviously the Panthers, like, since they're such underdogs would be fun, but I don't think they're going to do anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Even the bears are the two-seat, but they feel like the underdog where I'm like, that would be cool if they made it. You know who else? I don't know if I really want them. I don't know. I like Brock Purdy.
Starting point is 01:05:28 So I think I like the 49ers. I think the 49ers could be, Same. I feel like people aren't talking about them as much as they should for how good they are and how well they're coached. So we'll see. I also like Jordan Love. The NFC?
Starting point is 01:05:42 I don't know. Oh, really? I do. I do. I like the Packers. I've always kind of like to have a soft spot for the Packers. Yeah. I think give me Brock Purdy, Josh Allen.
Starting point is 01:05:52 That'd be fun. I think I'll root for those two guys. Yeah, I agree. So, yeah, I don't know. It's just fun to watch the NFL is so fun, no matter if you have a team or not. Yeah. You got a little. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:06:02 A little bug. Thank you. I felt it. Oh, right there. Yeah, it was on the outside. Let me show you. Um, what else? We wrap up with, I got a, I got a wager for you to, um, if you're looking to make some money.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Okay. I'm a deacon, so. Well, talk to me. This might be allowed. Little circumvention. Talk to your church. A little deconvention. There is a, there is currently a, there is currently a,
Starting point is 01:06:31 a bet on one of the, on like Polymarket, these like prediction markets or whatever weird stuff. That's where I made money off Robert Irwin winning, dancing with the stars. Oh, really? Yeah. I hadn't heard that. I bet them at the beginning. I've, I've been hitting lately. I bet the Panthers to make the playoffs. I bet Robert Irwin to win dance of the stars. You guys need anything in the future. You let me know. Okay. There is a bet right now on polymarket that's like, will Jesus come back by 2027? What? This is a win-win scenario. bet everything you have Jesus comes back great I don't need that money anyway wow done come back judging how much what's the what's the honestly I saw a screenshot
Starting point is 01:07:13 of it I haven't like seen it like that's real on my phone but it seemed legit I saw a screenshot of it like on Reddit or Instagram or something wow it's like look at this bet that just hit Polymarka what an interesting theological like hey is that allowed like we say this is allowed, but like, yeah, it's a, you're right, it's a win, win. There's, I'm sure that there's, surely there's like a cap on how much you can bet, but like, if not, just take a he lock out and just like put all your money. Wow. I like this. I thought you'd be intrigued by this. Yeah. Because truly, it's like, you can't take it with you, right? Wow. I think we need to look through the terms and define what Jesus coming back means and just make sure I don't get screwed here.
Starting point is 01:07:59 I was going to say about like once every three months I see somebody who's claiming their Jesus on the street. Oh yeah. I see people praying to Donald Trump. You know, that doesn't count, right? Right. You're not counting that. Right?
Starting point is 01:08:15 Although that is a great meme. Have you guys seen that guy in his truck? Like Donald Trump, if you can hear me. And people use that for like, I don't know, like the ravens trying to get into the playoffs or, you know, whatever. The wavens. I just love the wavens. I just really want a wavens. That so yeah, look into it.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Confirm if it's real. Yeah, or what you call, you say it's called Polly Market. I'm pretty sure that's the website who is on Polly Market, but will Jesus come back? 2027. 3% chance it says.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Oh yeah, here we go. Yeah, it's a real wager right now. Will Jesus Christ return before 27? 2027. Currently it puts it at a 3% chance. So, so yeah, you would have to, what does that mean? For every $100 you put in?
Starting point is 01:08:59 you would only get $3 back, but still, yeah, you take out a small business loan worth $100 million and you get $3 million, or you get to heaven, win-win. Or I bet yes, and all my people that need some help, loaded. I see what you're saying. But if not, whoops. Now, yeah, how do you set that will and testament up? How do you go with a lawyer? Like, all right, so I've placed a bet.
Starting point is 01:09:30 And I'm pretty sure it's going to hit. If I'd bet $10 million on no, I would make $3 million. $21,533. Do you have $10 million we get bet? Wait. I don't. You wouldn't. Yeah, I think it'd be $300.
Starting point is 01:09:45 Yeah. Right? I don't know. I'm looking at this thing that's saying, I think I said $10 million. I'm double checking. 10 plus $6.0 is $10 million. Yes? I do believe so.
Starting point is 01:10:01 And it says to win 3.01.53388. Yeah. No. No, because that... Did you bet no? Yeah. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I'm going to press it. See if it lets me do it. Okay, go for it. Trade. I got to sign up an account. Not worth it then. Continue with Google. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Yeah, just something to look into. What else have you, have you bet anything else crazy like that? You do any like political stuff? Yeah, I bet Charlie Kirk to win Time Man of the Year. It didn't pay off. They gave it to freaking AI. Really?
Starting point is 01:10:43 Didn't see that coming. I should have used AI to tell me who would win that. Yeah, I has a speech impediment. History, let's see. Oh, will Kansas City be Tyree Kill's next team like when he got injured? That was an easy now. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:11:02 Yeah. No problem. Well, how? Oh, I guess you next team. There's like a deadline for somebody's too. Like, um, how many weeks will Taylor Swift spend at number one
Starting point is 01:11:15 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts during 2025? Five more weeks. Yes. Easy money. Um, will Joe Biden make a public appearance this month? I bet on that. Because you follow his public appearance.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Well, that's the thing. It's like, I'm not even looking for that. Just like scrolling. You're like, that's kind of fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 01:11:35 I'll throw a little bet on this. Oh, this was one. Will Taylor Swift do the Super Bowl halftime show? This was like a year ago. I know there's no chance. She has nothing to gain from this. I bet quite a bit on her not doing that. And then occasionally there's pickleball in there.
Starting point is 01:11:51 That's what got me on there initially. Oh, really? This is the only place you can like look at pickleball stuff. So I was like, that's kind of fun. And then next thing you know, I'm betting on Charlie Kirk. They don't have pickleball on like draft kings yet? No. I don't say I think it's pretty dangerous.
Starting point is 01:12:04 The players aren't making enough money for them not to like be corrupted pretty easily. I see. By gambling. Yeah. You know, kind of like how referees can get corrupted because they're not making enough money to like hold up their end of the deal. NFL's rigged is what I'm trying to say. Do you think Avatar, Fire, and Ash will get total domestic gross of over 400 million timon by January 31st? You can bet on it.
Starting point is 01:12:27 I thought it was already there. Oh. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. Do it. Do it. Hurry. Maybe not.
Starting point is 01:12:34 I don't know. The other two made billions, like I think so. Sure. Wow. There's all sorts of random stuff on here. It feels like the people doing these are just like, like the people making them are just guessing.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Like on some of these things, who will win the Beast games season two? You can just choose like a number, one through 25, 25, 6. Oh, like which number person? Yeah. I need to watch that. This is very interesting.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Okay. Well, is it on already? I think the first two episodes are out. Okay. Because I was going to say, 84% of people bet on numbers 151 through 175. So I guess, but they know, it's a somewhat educated guess, I guess. But even that, like, some people out there know who want. Like, if you're on the production team, what's stopping you from just betting this?
Starting point is 01:13:21 Yes. They already filmed it. Here's something interesting. Sorry. Kind of around that. A guy that does foundation work for me for, for like these houses that I'm working, on was on a reality show that's coming out in like three weeks on Fox called Extracted. You heard of this?
Starting point is 01:13:38 Oh, no. Honestly, it sounds Mr. Beast, but like almost more. More sheetrock. No, it's like more, uh, what's the word? Sadistic is not the right. But like more like sinister, more like, dang, that's almost more ruthless and cutthroat than Mr. Beast was. Like, you know, Mr. Beast at times was just like a social experiment essentially?
Starting point is 01:13:58 Yeah. Or it was just like, would you do this or would you, you know. Not eat for $100,000. Yeah, like basically, like, making people struggle through like, oh, my gosh, I have to, I could take a million dollars. Remember Scott was so mad that guy for taking all that money. My jaw is on the floor. I'm screaming at my TV right now. So this extracted show, apparently is a season two, so it came out already.
Starting point is 01:14:21 And he's like, he's like, I can't really tell you. So I don't know. He's like, I have an NDA or whatever they have, but he's telling me about it. So here I am telling, you know, millions of people on podcasts about it. Millions. But he said that, so basically the idea of it is one, there's three people per team,
Starting point is 01:14:38 okay? And you like sign up as a three person team. So it would be, let's see, three people, Jake Brad Tyman. 80, 10, 10. And they would choose one of us. Let's say, not me, not me, not me, not me.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Timon. Okay. Timon would be dropped in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness. In the wilderness, truly. Okay, okay. In the middle of nowhere, I think with a canteen of water,
Starting point is 01:14:57 that's all they start with. No way. And I think that, have like a boundary of five or 10 acres or something that they can roam in this world. Oh, that's it. But like there's no one else around. They have like a few cameras set up and they have like a, you know, selfie camera or whatever. And then the other two people are in this like studio, headcores, base camp or whatever. And they can watch them and like monitor their their best friend or their brother or their father. Yeah, their mom or whoever. And then the two friends in the studio compete. against all these other people for prizes or like for like things to help out the person that's stranded. Isn't this what they do in the hunger games?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Like they send gifts? It sounds so much like the hunger games. Yeah. I was going to say. And even to the point where it is kind of hunger games. Actually, now you say it because he said that the only like you can, you can obviously like say like I'm, I quit, I give up. I can't do this anymore.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Whatever I'm going crazy. Or if you ever release bear. bear scent. Like if you see a bear and you like have like whatever like you get this bear repellent go out or whatever that means that it's over for you like like you're done. And so he's like and everyone is in like the same vicinity out in the wilderness. And so every once in while you'll hear like a gun or like something go off. And it's like kind of like the hunger game where you hear like this like all the hunger games kind of thing or whatever right. Yeah. Like but I'm like kind of intrigued to watch and he was on it. And he said he lost like some. I mean he's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's
Starting point is 01:16:29 not a big guy, but he said he lost like 40 pounds or something like that. His friends didn't send him food. But the crazy thing is like, of course, like in the headquarters, you become friends with all the other people. So you, we might win, but we feel so bad because you're like, you can see on the screen this other person that's like, their friend is skinny. Suffering.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Yeah. Or like going crazy. My, my friend, he's like, yeah, like I made, I think he had watched season one. So he's like, I made sure like to have like a routine of like, I'm going to stretch. I'm going to do this. I'm going to pray for this much. I'm going to dedicate each day to one person and like to have some kind of like mental,
Starting point is 01:17:04 you know, like idea of what you're, to stay sane. But he's like a lot of days, all I got, you know, for any kind of sustenance was like a small drink of water. Like, and that was it. I'm like, that's wild. You know the guy who was in the wilderness. Yes. When does this come out on what platform?
Starting point is 01:17:21 January 28th on Fox. Dang. I know. So that's a free ad for Fox. You're welcome. That's pretty cool. Yeah, and like, because I was talking to him about like just like really like truly just talking about foundation stuff. I'm like, so how you been, man?
Starting point is 01:17:37 You're like, you know, getting back into it. I don't know if I, did I tell you? I was like, no. I think I would have remembered that. And then he told me all this stuff. I was like, wow. He said it, he said it kind of like mess with his brother more than him. One of his brothers was also like one of the studio guy watching.
Starting point is 01:17:53 Yeah, watching somebody suffer and be like, I can like. And I guess if you can't talk to them, you don't know how bad they're suffering. All you see is like, oh, are they hating their life or hating me or like, are they okay? Like he said like he had to like walk with a cane because he was so weak. Like really? He had like get a stick and like walk with it. It's a crazy show. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:18:12 Like it's like beast games, but like even more, right? Like, hey, let's get two people that love you so much and they're going to work hard for you. But they might not win. They might not get this thing. Or maybe I don't know how it works, but maybe you win and you're like, you can either give it all to your brother or you could split it up between everybody or I don't know. I have no idea how it works, but it sounds like a crazy show. I'm intrigued to watch it for sure.
Starting point is 01:18:36 Extracted. Pretty neat. Yeah. All right. Got a lot to watch. I know, right? Yeah, Beast games. Beast games, extracted, NFL playoffs.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Watch for Jesus Christ's return. A lot of things to look out for. You don't think he'll return at the playoffs. I'll see if there's a bet on it. I hope not. What do you wear a helmet? Yeah, concussion cap. Caution protocol.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Cool. Want to wrap this sucker up? I realized last week we watched that awesome video from the ghosties and then just didn't do review of the week afterwards. It feels like that was a pretty solid review of the week. That was a review of the week. Actually, timing. Yeah. Someone emailed us a video.
Starting point is 01:19:23 I haven't watched it yet, but this could be my review of the week depending. I saw this. On what's in there. There's a few videos. We're going to do video, video reviews. Video or emails of the week? Which one are you doing? Allison's or Sam?
Starting point is 01:19:36 Okay, you do Sam's. I just texted the group. We can press play at the same time. He emailed and said, I think this is the guy who listened to like an unbelievable amount of ghost hunters in 2025. Hey guys. Sam, also know,
