It's me, Bradie. Bradley E. Yeah, it is. Bradley E. Nellis. Thank you. You're welcome. I mentioned before. Scott is like, he's out of corporate America. Friday is rescuing him from corporate America. And there's been just some little just like nuggets of updates we get. Oh,

you know, last phone call with my boss. Oh, okay, this. Yesterday, get a text from Scott. I think you'll like this text. Corporate America. This is our whole group chat, all six of us. Corporate America is the gift that keeps on giving. My hostess laptop that I never had to return and no one remembers still works. And it is about to become my friend. Friday laptop and then he types Moah ha ha ha ha ha I send the Ryan Gosling gif of him just being

like they're like crazy stupid love yeah just like rubbing his forehead sulking and I said me at the start of that text thinking this would be the end of Scott taking pictures of his laptop screen because for two and a half years every time

something crazy happens on Scott's dude get a load of this customer service email just dude. It's the most blurry, pixelated screen you've ever seen. This guy said, sorry, bruh. I got called bruh. I'll take a $0 laptop over a $700 MacBook. Yeah, told you. Oh, yeah, they're going for, like, that's crazy. They're going for 700 these days. They really are up in the price. That's what Isaac says. He's like, what MacBook would you be buying? One from 2015. At least get the price right, dude. They're way more expensive than that. Yeah, 700 bucks? I don't know. I'd pay zero dollars in

$700 for a MacBook. I was like, Scott. $7.99. I'm seeing MacBook Air. You're right. Good point. Zero dollar laptop is better. FaceTime me later on it and like I would love to chat. Dude, this would be so fun. Skype me, bro.

Dude. He's like, don't ever mohaha ha ha ha. He's been in a mohaha mood lately. He's done it multiple times. What? I bet I could search moah ha ha and see multiple messages. Who's telling him to do that? I don't know. maybe it's a movie that Palmer's into right now.

Maybe the... Yeah, Dracula movie or something. Spickable Me? Yeah, we just didn't let him hear the end of it. We're like, I'm going to go tell Smucker, you still have their laptop so that you have to get a MacBook. It's like, it's the hostess one I'm keeping. Smucker one is going back.

Jokes on you. Yeah. You tell them, Scott. Yeah, we're like, dude, come on. Just get a MacBook, please. It's actually more expensive to ship that, back to them or like to drive it back than the Lenovo laptop is worth. Let's see.

I searched just the word of MW and there's there's a couple URLs that have it and then there's a couple texts from Scott. Let's see. Isaac said, when would y'all have it available to go down to Florida to do like yada yada, Scott all caps, whenever. For real? That's all it took for the mohaha. He's in a mohaha mood these days.

You get him out of corporate America and he's, oh, he's skiing. even, is it? Yeah, is that what it is? It's supposed to be like, ah, whatever.

Is it like that? Yeah, it's like, dude, when can you do this? Starting January 12th? Whenever, dude.

I just, I don't think I like ever using it. I don't think if I was a villain, I would use it. I'd be like, I'm not going to be that kind of villain. It's seriously only in,

oh, no, there's one more. Whoa, he's been doing this for a while. there's a text from October of 2024. Scott said, we've infiltrated Selkirk's TikTok.

He's been doing this a while and I haven't even caught on. Credit to Scott, he spelled it the same way for years. Oh, here's one from Scott. On October 2020, 2020. Yes, I see it too. Come on.

Scott said, come on, D, one more play here, baby. One play! This is a football group chat. And then Peter just says, oh, man. I don't know what happened, but Scott just goes, Muha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. And then Jake, triplet, what a game.

Huh. He's been doing this for years right under our noses. It is funny searching MW, and it's pretty much only, like, random letters and URLs. It's Scott saying, and then it's me and you texting about Monday, Wednesday, Friday every now.

everyone's small WMWF MWF MWF It's about it Yeah Scott We're tired of that one I think

I'm not I don't want to police text message Lingo too much I'll let a lot of things go That one's one I think That's just like bad though And it sounds like

It's not like a new thing It's not like he's like I don't know I'm workshop And now I got some friends To do it And so it seems like It's really fun

I think that's just Scott original Credit Scott though He's the only one doing it. One of my buddies, he was very adamant for the longest time. Tee-hee. He was a T-Hee-Hie guy.

Oh, tough Tee-Hee, said the Kee-Hee with a milk pan dry. Uh-oh, uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in 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 this is a ghost from a podcast. And he had kind of a low shout out Logan.

He's awesome. He's like, everyone's ha-ha, and I'm more of a T-He guy myself. He kind of said it like cronk. Yeah, he had the perfect cron compression. That's great. Yeah.

Squeakety-squeak-in. Anyway, more of a T-hee guy myself. Tell me if I'm an idiot. No, you're not. Fun segment. Tell me if I'm an idiot. Okay.

I'm going to wait to announce my decision. There's a qualified. Got it. There was a woman that I was talking to the other day, friend of a friend who's interested and maybe not selling her house, selling her house, not living in her house anymore. Okay?

Not selling her house. So far, I'm going to say yes. Okay. Yeah. All that to say, this woman is Chinese. She lives in Australia. She's back in Kansas City for like four weeks trying to sell her house, whatever.

And she's lived in this house before. so she has a lot of her old stuff there and she has furniture wooden furniture from she's Chinese from the Ming dynasty I'm gonna go ahead and say wait wait all right

not yet all right please I have my answer already but you go ahead keep going what did I say nothing all of this before on a previous episode no really

or I know we dreamed it dang it really I've had the same dream about the main dynasty. What did I say about it? Everything you've said so far is... Yeah, so far everything. I'm embarrassed. Really?

Shoot. It's okay. And that's wood? Yeah. And that wood's that old? It's like, wow, that was preserved for a long time. All right. Yeah.

How expensive is it? So delete that one. Can we agree, Jake? Dude, that is such a great... That's a great joke on your part to say the segment's called, Am I an Idiot? And you say something you said pretty recently. All right.

All right. Am I an idiot for this one? This is new. And this is more our men collectively idiots. Armenian. Our minions. I went to my friend Bo's house the other night for his birthday. He turned 36.

Shout out Bo. And it was 30 degrees outside, give or take. His wife being wonderful, set up this wonderful, you know, set up birthday balloons and everything inside, living room, whatever. we're there at like 10 p.m. And the 20 of us that are there all just hang out outside around the like fire pit.

Okay. And 30 degree weather rather than being inside. Guys just like being outside. Stupid or not? No, there's a fire. But it was pretty cold still. But the fire is enough of a fire. And the house looks so nice.

Yeah. The fire is like a good enough vibe though. And it's giving heat that it's like, yeah. It's giving. It's giving heat. Yeah. Okay. I agree. Diamond's like, you idiots. I, for whatever, like, I didn't, it wasn't even weird to me.

Like, we were just all hanging out outside. And there was enough guys where we were not all getting warm by the fire. 30 degrees is pretty cold. Yeah. Maybe my feet were the only thing that were really that cold. No. House might have been a good call. The house looked very inviting.

Small house, like there wasn't enough room. Great. Great size house. Plenty of room. Plenty of room. In this new house, too. So it's like, I think they're ready to show it off kind of thing.

Yeah, carpet smells good. Yeah, but we just all hung out outside the whole time. And that furniture was from the Ming Dynasty. I'm sorry, okay? That really did stick with me. I'm like, holy cow. Like,

this is, it's not allowed to, like, it didn't stick with you that. I mean, no, I wrote it down again. I guarantee you,

I deleted it. Just not the memory of, it's not the memory of talking about it. That is pretty funny. Yeah, it was so impactful to you. You were like, I got to write this down to my podcast notes again. I thought it was crazy because I've seen her like three times since then, trying to convince her to buy this house.

And every time she's, she has this furniture. And I'm like, what are you going to do with that furniture? Because you can't just like take it to goodwill. Yeah. You can't. We don't have to talk about anymore because I'll probably already set all this.

How is house flip? How is stuff going? You know, it's good. Overall, it's a. exciting. It's still haven't sold the house and Leewood. We took it off the market for a little bit, like I said. I'm sure I've said that already. Yeah. But hopefully maybe we're recording these a little bit early right now. We're recording these like a week and a half early. So maybe by this time, hey, it's sold. I think it's just truly like it was that slow of a time in the market.

And hopefully when we go back on market soon, we'll be good. But when's the, uh, the on market date Still trying to figure it out. Yeah, I'm trying to get somebody over there to like freshen up the landscaping a little bit and do a few things. So I'm not exactly sure when Filiberto can come over and do his trabajo. But the other house, the Airbnb house is going great. And yeah, just learn a lot. It's really fun. I like all this real estate stuff a lot.

It's very intriguing and very fun because there's so many ways. Obviously there's like what's, you know, traditional mortgage. things that everyone probably understands. Like you pay a down payment, the bank gives you the rest, and then you pay payments to the bank. There's all these creative ways to like figure out other options to like afford these houses and do different payment plans,

whatever, all these different things. And that's what I get really into. So I've been talking to Steven Swick some because he's a real estate attorney. And so I'm like, hey, talk to me about this. Talk to me about how this would work. And he's really, really knowledgeable. And a bunch of my friends are doing this stuff now too. so just being able to talk to them has been awesome.

So, um, it's nice to know what a real estate attorney. Yes. It's very nice. When I first learned who's real estate attorney, I was like, is that even a full-time thing? I didn't understand what it,

what he would do? Like, what does that mean? And now I get it. Um, so yeah, he helped me buy this over the park house. He helped me, like, write the contract.

Dang. So pro bono? He hasn't sent me a bill yet, but I think I'm paying him. I'm planning to pay him. Steven, if you're listening to this, you know my,

you know my number. You talk to the judge. You know me. But no, it's a blast, dude. And every time I go anywhere, I'm always looking at houses. I'm like, like, there's a house down the road that looks abandoned. And I'm like, what's the story? How do I buy this house?

Dude, you're like Sam from Holes instead of I can fix that. I can flip that. I can flip that. Abandon house? Yeah, I could flip that. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I can flip that.

If you ever getting a house flipper content creation, that could be a character you play. I've gone back and forth about, man, I should document more of this. And I don't know, I'm so, like, torn of like, yes and no, because I'm trying to, like, not be so on the internet. But at the same time, I'm like, yeah, it'd be fun. It'd be fun to do it. It'd be fun to, like, show people and, like, so much of it's just like, I don't think people understand that this is not that crazy or that unattainable for it.

Like, I always just thought, like, you had to have so much money to do this stuff. The nice thing is that house flipping, there's built-in storytelling to it. There's what it used to be. There's the journey to get there. And there's, like, the payoff at the end. So like, that is nice. Right. 100%.

Yeah. There's literally like beginning, middle end, like set up. That's so nice. Yeah. And every part of it's interesting. Like, I think, you know, finding the deal is interesting. Doing the work is interesting and how all the things you run into there. And then the final process is obviously like.

Yeah. So fun to see. But at the same time, you got four kids. You're swamped. You're trying to sell houses like content feels like not as important as like these other nine things going on. Correct. Probably. which is my life sometimes.

It's like, that'd be really fun. I should do that. It's like, just chill. Just do what you're doing. So, no, it's good, though. Thanks for asking. Yeah, just curious. I think it's all fascinating.

Got something you guys, you might like. Maybe you're, you know, ghosties might really take a liking to this. We were talking, this is back in Florida with Rachel's family, and we're going over our news resolution. We're like clarifying it for them. Yeah, we're doing no desserts, no treats,

2026. We're all talking about this. Here I talk about that. What an idiot. Oh my gosh. Egg is on your face. Scrambled. Yoke right there.

Up your nostrils, bro. Dang. Go ahead. After a while, Steve Kube goes, what is all this 23-6 talk? What do you guys keep saying 23-6 for? Like, 20-26?

Is it, 20-26? Yeah, what is that? But then he was like, actually 236, I think that could be my New Year's resolution. He's like, I'm going to diet really well, 23 hours a day, six days a week. This is his plan. He's obsessed with it now.

He quite literally wrote out what he calls a manifesto, which makes me think he's about to bring an AR12 to a public place. But he typed out a manifesto of what he's going to do this year within the hours and days of 236. Which is what? I think just like no, no soda, no alcohol, no French fries, intermittent fasting. Like all these things will take place for at least 23 hours a day, every day, and at least six days a week. But there's one day that's the purge, and there's one hour a day where anything goes.

And I think by the time we left Florida, I think it was actually down to 23-5. Ah, sure. But there was a lot in the manifesto. It's pretty strict within those parameters. That's so funny. So yeah, 236. It's the new thing. I mean, it's a built-in cheat hour every day.

There's probably worse ideas out there. Like, because if you, like, kind of like, if you, you know, break the fast every morning and just have all your calories for one hour in the morning and then you fast for another 23 hours, your body is going to be, like, burning eventually. It's got to figure something out. Some sort of new, new ketone. that doctors have never studied. You'll figure it out.

I bet there is like a sliding scale to like how many calories you can consume if you fast more, like fast longer. It's probably also not great for you. That's so fun. Yeah. 236. And he just like accidentally found it. Yeah, from like mishearing us.

What do you mean you're going to do this 236? Like I think we said 2026. I don't know what you're talking about. 236. Yeah. He's going to write a book someday on 236. Yeah. You get an hour like every night where you get a little sweet.

treat. Steve Coop. And then like every Sunday, I guess you just go crazy. I don't know. There's nobody like that guy. Except for Rachel. Yeah, except for most of Rachel's personality. That's pretty good.

I want to hear updates on 236, Steve. Yeah. So it's a voice memo or something. I'll text him right now and see if he's got anything. Yeah, what are you learning about 236? Give us an example of what hour 24 looks like. All that stuff. Okay, great.

I do think maybe the thing that might come back to Biden more is the seventh day. I think a whole day of just cheating along with cheating every day might be a little much. But what do I know? No one's ever tried this before. We don't know yet. That's pretty good. Yeah. I'm into it.

They're not going to do it myself, but I'm into it. But I'm excited to watch from a distance. Yeah. there is this guy who writes stuff about the chiefs and he used to do these Facebook posts I never followed them

but they just always appeared in front of me and he would do 10 things I think I think you ever seen this? No. I don't know who his name is and what journalist he is anyway I always kind of liked it

was just big 10 things after the Raiders game of like I think we need to do this I think we need to do this I wrote down my own 10 things I think that I think I like this because you're like I'm not even committing to this Not really.

But I'm kind of, right now I'm committing to it. Not taking a huge stand. Right. Yeah, it's isn't like hot takes or, yeah. It's not hot takes. It's just like, I think. Here's some things I think. Oh, I guess I was assuming it was going to be kind of like,

I think that I think that Andy Reid's lost his fastball a little bit on this. And then it's like, okay, I took a step back. I don't really think that anymore. I think I changed my mind. Yeah. Okay, but you have 10 things you think you think. 10 things. And feel free to pop in anywhere you want.

Great. First one, just a real quick hitter. I think we need to stop. calling sandals thongs. Oh my gosh. Do we think we're good there? I think, yes. Sandals are a great name.

They don't need like a nickname. Well, I don't mind nicknames, but it's not that one. Okay. That makes me uncomfortable, even hearing you say it, especially with timing around. I think, I think that I never knew that was a nickname for those. Crap. I'm perpetuating.

So you're really, yeah. Good job, Jake. My parents worked for 19 years and I let me find out that sandals are called thongs, and you just ruined it all. But not every, But that's the thing. Not all of them are. It's like squares and rectangle.

We'll call them flip flops. I call those flip flops. And a sandal. And then you got slides. A sandals kind of the all-encompassing. Yes. Sandals, anything without a sock, basically.

Yeah. Open, open-faced. Open-toed. Open-toed, open-faced. No socks. But yeah, slides or chaco, or whatever. Those are all sandals. But only the ones that go in between your big foot and your big toe and your index toe.

are flip-flops. Flip-flops. Yeah. I'm okay with that. I agree. That's a fun nickname. Flip-flops are their name. Yeah, it's an automotipia.

How flippia are your flip-flops? Because mine, the way I walk, I don't know, I've tried to fix it. And I am such a loud flip-flopper. They're smacking up. Yes, dude. I... And Catherine's never do. Like, she could walk into a room and I wouldn't even know what she's wearing.

And me, it's like, you're coming three houses down in those things. What is the gate? How does that happen? I wonder. I try to avoid wearing flip-lops at all costs. I hate them. I hate how they feel. I have to, like, scrunch my toes to keep them on.

And I don't even know if they flip-flops, so it's not, like, a fun treat. Because that's kind of the appeal. It's, like, it's kind of fun. They're flapping around. Flip-flaping. But you wear sandals ever? Like, you wear just, like, slides without the...

Not much. Okay. But more often than I would flip-flops. Okay. Crox? Yeah. See, don't. I think it's like a...

I think it's nearly extinct already. I think it's, if you are listening to this and you're 55 years old, I bet at one point you've called them that. And that's where it needs to stop. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The 55 and older men. It's getting extinct. Yeah.

It's becoming less and less. Yeah, it's like the newspaper. Yes. It's just like the newspaper. No longer saying thongs is a recession indicator. Wow. Some are saying. I saw an MSNBC.

Yeah. That's good, though. That's good. First thought. That's just where we're starting off. Next one. I think movie theaters should show TV shows.

Okay. But let's brainstorm this, because maybe this is a bad idea. Let's flesh this out. But like the first five episodes of season five stranger things, like come binge together. There's going to be a five-minute break

between every episode, fuel up, pee out. Timmy? Binge night. I like it. I love this. Especially as an A-lister. Stubbs.

Stubbs. Must be nice. Have they ever done this before? Maybe this is something they've already tried. I mean, I know they've done, like, live events, but, like, they show, like, sporting events and stuff like that on there.

I mean, yeah, because it's never, like, the Stranger Things finale is in theaters. It is? Yes. But I don't know if... Didn't know that. I see. I didn't know if that was, like, inspired by this.

But that's, like, just one... Great idea, Jake. One movie-length episode. So it's like, you want binging of shows, more or less. Yeah, I think so. I like that. Yeah, I don't know.

And I guess it's, like, a... leave whenever you want thing. Like, if you can't commit to five whole episodes, dip out after three and go home and watch the rest at home. Yeah. Just have the option. I think it's a great idea, especially these days because Netflix doesn't have commercials.

I was thinking about, like, what's the backlash for the TV show? It was like Breaking Bad, AMC, whatever. Like, they get all the money from all the commercials. Yeah. But Netflix, you don't watch commercials, right? You're kind of paying for those already. Yeah. And there's something magical about a theater experience, and we're losing it because of all these Netflix shows.

So basically you're just going back in time and you're like, hey, what if we just like watch stuff together in theaters? Yeah. Like really enjoy it together. Yeah. But there's something magical about it. I like it at TV shows or otherwise, especially like Stranger Things finale or like, whatever, Game of Thrones I was never into. But like the ones that are like, this is coming to a close. Yeah.

And I want to experience it with other people that are really into this. it would definitely make me try out TV shows more often like even as a way to like get people into a show yeah it's like the first four episodes yeah you can binge them and it's like you're seeing them

in like great quality with all the because I love like seeing a movie in a theater a lot because it is like this is how it's meant to this is all the technical stuff is dialed in that'd be fun and you get five minutes to like debrief with whoever you came there or like go to the bathroom like yeah I think the debrief period would be nice Put some discussion questions on the wall.

That'd be nice. What if we just did like a... Who was the main character? What if we just like a mini-series TV show? Like four episodes, but you just condense them like all one run time. One runtime. The story art goes up and down and it's like two hours long. It's like in the form of four 30-minute episodes.

Four 30-minute episodes. I feel like that's a good amount of time for people like they would, they could come into that. Go to a theater. And you could go to the bathroom still, but there just wouldn't be a stop for it. You just go to the bathroom and come back and ask people what they, what you missed. I like this. Yeah, and I think that would be awesome. That would be really cool.

And then if it's good enough, you could do like a season two. Like you would just call it Stranger Things 2 or Toy Story 2 or Iron Man 2. I can see this taking on. Yeah. So. Food for thought. I like that. I think I think that's a good idea.

Great. All right. 60 degrees outside right now. 60 degrees in my mug. No, that's not hot enough. 60 degrees. Celsius. Celsius in that mug.

Yeah. You're talking about your mainstero's mug? My mainst your roaster's mug. Let me huff real quick. Yep. There it is. There it is. I love that invention of the little holes where coffee can't get out, but smell can.

There's something about that. It keeps it fresh or something. Can I just, can I enjoy this mug real quick and just say that if they make mugs this good, guess how good their coffee is going to be? Right. Like there's something simple and joyful about a nice mug. Quality craftsmanship.

So it's masonryor.com, G-R-K-C. Come on with it. Number three, I think the first time I saw my dad cry was while watching Extreme Home Makeover, Extreme Makeover Home Edition with Ty Pennington. See, there's a story arc, flip-houses. Really? So it's a good show.

Your dad claims that he cries often. I think he has allergies. Yeah, it's just that. It's just the pollen in Stratford. Tree pollen, ragweed season. That's pretty sweet, though. It was, it was, they knew how to jerk those tears. And moving that bus and moving those tear ducts.

Yes, dude. Move that duct. And then the older you got, though, I'll say this, Steve. The more you thought, well, that's not very practical. They both the whole house in 16. Why'd you put an aquarium at their feet? It's not a 4D movie. Have you ever seen any of those timing?

No. It'd be like, like, give me an example of something that Milan, how old is myelin? Milan is. You don't have to. 12, 13, I hope he's older. I mean, he might be 13. I'm going to say 13. Okay.

How about Jonas? 11. Okay. What's Jonas? Give me, give me a personality trader two that Jonas is into. Okay. Like who he's attracted to? Maybe.

Like a personality trait he's into? Blas, brunettes. He loves. His huge thing is, like, listening to audiobooks, a lot of, like, fantasy stories. Like, perfect. Okay. Production meeting. Jake and I.

I'll be Ty Pennington. Doesn't they have, like, kind of a raspy voice? A little bit? Yeah, I think he does. Kind of like this. All right. So, we need to build. Sorry, what did you say, by the way?

Audio books? A fantasy stories. A fantasy stories. Jonas, I don't know. He listens. I don't know if you're signed into something. You can comment if I'm wrong. But.

What's up, Joan? Big Joan. Jonas, I think you're 11. I think that I'm right. Let us know, Jonas. Everyone let us know what your guess is for Jonas is. He loves listening to audiobooks. Okay. And I think a lot of them are just like fictional fantasy type.

My kids too, man. That's fun. All right, production meeting. You are Ty Pennington. I'm in charge of the like the actual construction that's going to go on. And what's your name? Jose. Jose.

Oh, perfect. I have a completely normal accent, though. But my name is. Yeah, good. Yeah. That's fair. Okay. So we have the Amish family out of the house.

house on their vacation. We love these people. Love these people. We want to incredible people. We have seven days so they show back up. We got to get everything done by then. So we have to get moving. I want to re, I want to strip everything. I want to re-roof the house. Totally. We need to re-shingle it. Absolutely. We want to gut everything. They need new electrical. They need new plumbing. So we got to get right on that. We got to get it up to code. We got to make sure that black mold's out of there. Yes. That is, that is priority one. So. Okay. But can I throw, can I float something out there to you? There's the 11-year-old kid, Janus. Oh, big kid, Hugh Janus.

He was like, he was taller than, I think, some of the other kids his age. He looks huge to me. No, there's the eight-year-old's Hugh, and then there's Janus in the chair room. So let's go with the, let's let's brainstorm all the rooms. We'll start with the Hugh Janus room. Okay. Shoot, I just, oh, it seems Jonas. Jonas.

I just, I have it in my notes. Okay. So the Hugh Jonas room. Hugh Jonas room. Okay. So Hugh. So Hugh Jonas. Janus?

I swear it's Janus. Maybe the mom's name is Janus. No, I think his name is Jonas. Okay. Jonas. Jonas's room. Gosh, that was so funny, dude. Jonas said he likes to listen to audiobooks about fantasy.

So I'm thinking, we elevate the roof, put it out a very steep pitch, and make his whole room a castle. He's going to love this for about six months, and then he's going to grow out of this phase and probably sell shoes secondhand on the internet like his older brother, Gisi. Okay, Ty, I love that idea, and I love that energy.

I think for me in the... Quadruple bunk beds for Hugh Janus and all of his friends to get inside of. I love the passion, Ty. You always bring it in these meetings. However, I think for me it's important that we build this up to code. Absolutely.

And we build them a house that, you know, something they're going to want to sell this house. 100%. I want to give them a house that is not too custom. How easy would it be to sell it if we also added a jungle gym that climbs up into all the huge anus beds? Oh, maybe a seesaw with huge seats. Huge seats.

Yeah. Yes. For all the huge anus friends. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. I was thinking just like a normal, normal height and no jungle gym. but if you, if you, well, do you remember he said one time really offhanded that he kind of one time listened to a fantasy book? And so I think we should do the whole thing, Lord of the Rings.

We should make every single light fixture a ring, just like Lord of the Rings. That's what Lord of the Rings is. I'm pretty sure. I've never listened or watched or read any of the books. Okay, okay, got it. We could call them all, we could, we could, we could make cookies and call them fro doughs. Okay. Ty, can you pause real quick?

I'm getting a call from the executive producer real quick. Sure. What's that? No, I don't want to go with any of this. Hey, this is going to cost way too much. I swear his name's Janus. Is it not Janus? Who's this?

And you said his dad is the one who gave us all the money, so we have to. He's a Nepo baby. Oh, I see. Okay. Well, just do whatever he says. Okay. We can't say no. I wouldn't.

I mean, come on. I mean, I would say the rings, the rings. The rings, that'll come back in 20 years. Yeah, okay. J.A. In. Hey, Ty. You're telling me this guy, he keeps on...

Sorry, Ty, go back to what you're doing. He keeps on saying the Hugh Janus joke. Like, even if it's not necessarily like part of the words he's saying, he just likes that joke so much. I think he's pretty attached to the Hugh Janus thing. We're not going to give him to budge on this. Budge, we're fudge on this.

The kid's not even named you? Hey, Ty, I talked to executive producer, and I think we want to go that quadruple the hide of the ceiling, Jungle Jim, Seasaw. You know what? Scrap all that. We're going somewhere else.

I've ever heard of... I just Googled something while you were over there. Ever heard of Chronicles of Narnia? Yes, you just Google that. What did you learn? We're going to call the whole thing Asland. Nice.

Okay? It's going to be lion themes. There's going to be 16 lions. I have a lion guy who hunts lions turning into Donald Trump at this point. What about a huge sign we walks in the room? Hugh Janus is ass land. What do you think of that?

It's gold, Ty. It's gold. Print it. I guarantee you mid everywhere in Southwest Missouri will be crying their eyes out at Hugh Janus is assland. And seen. Print it. Print it. Yeah, I really thought that might be one. We just quickly just, I say it and we move on to number four, but we extrapolated that one pretty good.

I'm glad that one made the list. That was fun. Thanks for, thanks for saying it. So that's pretty much what it was, time is. That's what the show was. One very minimal personality trait. They're like, we got to do this for the kid. And it's going to be tough to sell this house later because it's, the walls are water.

Seriously. Was there a lot of, like, slides? I'm picturing like they would put a slide in a lot of houses that didn't need it. Yeah, they always had kids. So, yeah, a bunch of, like, firemen's pole and stuff. Like, when I'm 10 years old watching it, I'm like, why don't we have a trap door? Yeah. But it's like, yeah, I bet it gets a little drafty in the wintertime.

But big show there for a few years. Just like, pimp my ride. If you heard that, that's the same thing. They really did. We heard you were a barber, so we put a salon in your trunk. The air conditioning's full of hair. Okay. Sponsored by Paul Mitchell.

All right. You think you think. I think. some stuff just isn't true. I think a lot of these fun facts we've been fed over the years, I just don't buy it. Okay. I just think that,

you know, the, you know, the small, small intestines is 24 feet long. No, it's not. Oh.

You're just, you're starting to, you're starting to not believe. Yeah. I just don't think that's true. Okay. Yeah, you know,

the small intestine's even larger than the large intestine. Okay, no, it's not. So why is you named it wrong? Yeah, rename it. That's not true.

That's going to confuse everybody. Is that true? Sharks are older than trees? I don't want to... No. No. How do you? Who cares?

Not that shark. You know, bananas are berries, but strawberries aren't? Eh. That's just not true. I refuse to believe that that's accurate. It's very American of you to just be like... No. Just...

Stay in your life, pal. Anything to the power of zero is one? No, it's not. Prove it. Yeah. Show me with pin and paper and some beads how that works. And I still don't believe it. Show me on an abacus how that makes sense. The power of zero, you can't divide by zero.

Why not? We're going to the exponent power of zero. Can't divide by it? No, it's not. Yeah. That's it. You know what sucks, Jake? Is that there's going to be some nerd that's going to try to explain it to us.

And it's going to be 18,000 words long. we're not going to read it. I would like to see Ryan Gyes take on it. Okay. Ryan, you have permission. I would like your feedback on this. I actually would read it for the record if somebody commented.

I would read it and I would say, I don't really understand that and then I would keep reading other comments. It's for the record. I will read it. I promise. That's how it would go. But I won't, I won't,

like, critically think about it too deeply if I don't understand it right away. I'll just, that's my honest, honest feeling about that if someone did that. We just don't have that much room in here. How can these intestines be 20, five feet long. Two of them.

Yeah. I think one's 20, one's like 10. And also do they always, they start that way? Do they grow? Does Henry have a 24 foot long? How long's his? Or is it like once he turns, you know,

10, 12, 13, you know, his intestine gets longer? How long is a two-year-olds sleeps like, no. What's Jay? Small intestine. Yeah. Okay, it's saying that I am the first person

who's ever Googled this. A two-year-old small intestine is significantly longer than, oh, an adult's in proportion. Growing rapidly. Estimates place it around 12 to 15 feet. No, it's not. No. That's what I'm saying. No, it's not.

Henry's small intestine is 15 feet. That is wild. And it's wild to think that it's like growing. I guess it stops growing eventually. I guess it gets tired. Mm-hmm. This kind of like, have you heard, if you, oh, if you link together all your nerves. Mm-hmm.

They could go around the world. Shut up. I'm stupid. I'm six feet tall. No, they could go maybe 12 feet. Yeah, they could get to my end of my tribe. I don't get that nervous. I'm not, there's not that many in there.

How much anxiety do you think I have? My nerves could stretch all over the world. Yeah. I'm, no, I'm rather calm, rather confident. Did you see that, did you see that Nate Land clip of Aaron Weber being like, guess how many times if you fold a piece of paper in half it would take to get to the moon? Oh. You seen that?

Wait. No. I've always heard that like, no matter how big the piece of paper is, you can only fold it six times. Six times or whatever. If you fold a piece of paper, I think it's like 42 times or something. It would reach the moon. Wait. Like if you fold it?

And he thought it was so interesting. And Nate was just like, I mean, yeah, okay. That's great. I don't even understand the initial fun fact. Let me. Is it like, you basically just double, double, double, double, double, double, double, double, double, 42 times. But I thought you could only fold a piece of paper six times.

Right. It's impossible. If you could. I actually am understanding it now because like it still doesn't seem like that makes sense. But I was thinking like, is this like lengthwise? Like it's getting squished. It's stacking.

But I think it's like, yeah. Yeah. I know. Basically let's say, let's say a piece of paper is. Wait, no. That doesn't. Point five inches, which is not. It's a piece of paper.

It's super, super skinny. But then you do 0.5 and fold it in half. Then it's one inch. And then two inches and four inches. then, you know, it just is exponentially. The power of two, 42 times. No, it's only that. You're not making more paper.

I don't, this doesn't make sense. Oh, I see what you're saying. Like, the paper can only go as far as. So what we don't understand is how big the piece of paper is to start. If we knew that the piece of paper to start was the size of Venus, I mean, it's like, oh, well, sure, it could reach the moon. Even then I feel like it's getting smaller. I don't know.

No, it would be getting taller, I guess. That's a good thought, though, time is like, wait, how, you can't. thing only has so much. You can't keep folding. But to fold it for it. But then again, can you? Can you actually fold it more and more and more times? I don't think so. Surely there's a limit. Surely the limit is like somehow proportionate to how big the piece of paper is. No, no, no. I think huge. No, no. Think about this. In theory, in theory is a, can you, in theory, not literally. Yeah. Because obviously we'd say we can only fold it six times. In theory, can you make one million pieces of paper out of one piece of paper? In theory.

Like just by Taryn? Yeah. Like, somehow, right? Like a just smallest molecule of what makes paper, paper. Right. There's an infinite amount of, not infinite, but there's a lot of. So maybe you could, in theory, fold that thing that many times. But I understand what you're saying.

And I think you're... It can't get that tall, though. So I'm saying, the piece of paper... It can reach the moon from a foot above the moon. Surface. Maybe that's, it's like, oh, it's a little prank question. Jake, I like your take, because I don't buy this at all. This is like, out of all those things are like, this is not.

Google says, uh, I'm also probably just too dumb, but. To fold a paper 42 times, it would need to be astronomically large, Astro. Okay. Yeah. Not just thick. It would have to be, we have to start with a length or with greater than 384,000 kilometers in parentheses distance to the moon. It's like the paper starts that big. It's relative to the... I don't know if it is.

I don't know if it... Well, I don't know. I don't understand exactly why it needs to be so big. Either the length or the width has to be the distance to the moon. Yes. Because how are you getting... You can't build that height out of nothing.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. It can't come from nothing. I mean... No, you can't. No, you can't. No, you can. Imagine, just imagine, imagine with me, a piece of paper split into a million pieces.

Yeah. And then stack all those million pieces on top of each other. that could go for a very long time. No, I wouldn't. It's still a very thin. You think? I think it's still a very thin piece of paper.

Maybe you're right. Now that you were confident and just disagree with me. I don't know. You might have convinced me. I'm just also just like standing by this because I think that that's, yeah, it seems very soon. I buy that it has to be 300 something kilometers of a piece of paper because, yeah, that that's where the length could come from. That's where that height could come from.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, thanks Nate Lamb for the conference. Was our reaction better? Yeah, I think we did better than Nate did, probably. Nate just didn't even think about it. Okay. Well, because I saw Aaron ask him, he's like,

how many times do you think it would take for you to fold a piece of paper for it to get to the moon? And Nate's like, I don't know, like 30, 13 million or something. It would take 42. And they's like, oh, yeah. Okay. That's funny. And Aaron's like, you're not like intrigued. Like, that's not amazing to you that's like way, you guess so many.

and it's like so much less. And then Dusty's over there. Well, you know, it's all right. That makes sense, actually, now as you think about it. That's great. All right, number five, I think we have the best fans in the world.

And a lot of people say that. It sounds like a cliche. When I think about it, it's like, Chiefs. No, Ghostbrenners. No, AFC West. Yeah, dude. Yeah.

Broncos, Chargers, Raiders. Yep. just that video they got showed last week, just the, yeah, we got a good thing going. I'm pretty sure you're right. We say that all the time, but we just have a good thing going on. I think it's very rare. I mean, if you were this into everything we have going on. Yeah, contest it with any, like, who would you say is up there with us?

You know, the only other people who I see have rabid fans like this are streamers, which is essentially just podcasting a different form. But even then, they are large, large streamers. They're not. Yeah. 10,000 strong. Yeah. You know, like it's hard to be this small.

Half million. Sorry, I always get that number. Yeah. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.

Scott does such a good person. I'm okay. I agree. Truly. Like, who else is close? Taylor Swift fans. Is that? But even then, it's like they have the, the mass.

I think it's what makes what we have so, It's like, yeah. It's depth. It's depth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they're called Swifties.

That's dumb. We are, they just took the name. Ghosties. Yeah, it's sick. It's so sweet. So sick. Yeah.

I think Chipotle is probably doing good enough as a company where they don't have to pull out a crowbar to scrape the last bit of rice to put on my burrito. Give me a new batch, dude. Wow. You wouldn't do this to your own burrito. Wow. scraping it. Yeah.

Like, dude, that's got like rust on it. It is. It's crusty. You're creating sparks when you do this. You're heating up my rice. Dude, yeah, it is. It's like you get like 18 pieces of rice that are all together and like a little like

crunchy spot. Oh, they're hard. Yes. That's good. I do think I still support them plenty, but I think Chippole's gone downhill from when we were kids. Too many kids with AirPods in their ears. Working? Yeah.

Really? I think once you have that, yeah. Standards have gone. down for what a good employee is. I mean, a lot of AirPods. I still think to this day, I will always say Chipotle is the best value for your money that you can get in food. I think you can get so much food for a very comparable price to other places.

Yeah. Anyway. And it's delicious. But I do think it's not always delicious. And it used to always be delicious. Every once in a while now, it's like, it's just okay. It's just okay. I don't know.

There's a little bit of quality control, a little bit of portion, you know, discrepancies. Every once in a while, dude, I'm sure I've talked about this before. I get 15 gallons of sour cream on my burrito. They ordered too much and they're trying to get rid of it. Talk about like just that's that's one thing I would love just to have like a specific measuring thing for that. That would be nice.

Yeah, because you say things like, can I just get a little bit of this and they don't hear it? They don't care. They say it's kind of wild. And it's all you never know. It's like, am I going to. have a, you know, 800 calorie bowl, or am I going to have a 1,300 calorie bowl? Let's see. Let's see what they give me here. That's good. Yeah, there needs to be like, can I get a splash of

cream? Like you're ordering your coffee? Can a splash of sour cream? I would love it if it were just like, yeah, three different ladle sizes. Can I get a small, small sour cream, please? Yeah. Yeah. That's a good idea. Easy fix. Let us know, Chipotle if you need any more help. We'll do it for free as long as you give us unlimited to pull away. I'll stand by that. Yeah. Go ahead, Jake. I think we should be able to build

some sort of wind turbine for rain. Okay. Windmill like a turbine, like it captures, when wind blows, it captures energy. Is there a way where like when rain falls everywhere, that turns into energy?

Can they make that? I think someone should be able to figure that out. Yeah, flush it out a little more with me. maybe it looks exactly like a windmill. When the rain comes down, it pushes the fan blades down to generate energy. I think that's a good idea. It feels like somebody's going to be like, that's been invented at one point. Like some, that's ancient.

We tried that. Yeah, something. Ming Dynasty did that. It's kind of wild just in general how powerful water is. Like in the ocean and stuff? Yeah. Like you see like rocks, like cliffs and stuff. They're just like, it just comes from water.

dashing up against it a bunch of times. Yeah. Or houses that just, yeah, just like the foundation runs away because they don't have gutters on them. And so moving water is pretty fascinating. I will always stop and watch a video if it's like, watch this flash flood just to appear out of nowhere. Crazy. I love those videos. Crazy.

Yeah. Desert flood. Crazy. So I don't hate your idea. Someone build that. Not smart enough to quite understand how it would work. But yeah, somehow it's propelled by the, like, kind of like that. of the rain coming down.

I'm almost thinking like of like an old movie. I imagine like, I'm trying to think of a good period that this would be in. Maybe like a night's movie like a medieval movie or something like that.

And there's like this like windmill rushing thing that has, or maybe it's like, it's over city. It's like what I'm seeing. Yeah. It's that's kind of like what I'm seeing like in the water like goes from one to the next

and it just like, yeah, keeps propelling itself with the water. Let's do that. Okay. For energy. Yes. Good.

I think I'm getting pretty sick of everyone online constantly feeling like they need to have a strong opinion about everything that happens. And I think this list is probably perpetuating it as I share my strong opinions. Good. Good. Yeah. And I think I'm learning what irony is. I think there's differences between having strong opinions on innocent things and having strong opinions on important things that you might not really know that much about. How about that? Does that make sense? Are you saying which is better? Which one is better?

Innocent. Please, let's argue all day about if Chipotle is good or not. Or if, oh, dude, I think Mo's, you can get way more value at Mo's, dude. You just don't understand. Like, Katova, they're queso's free. It's like, let's fight about that. Like, let's have a fun, stupid discussion about that. I'm never going to get mad at you about that.

But then there's other times where it's like, I feel really strongly about this. And it's like, well, what about this part of it? And they're like, ah, what? What's that mean? I didn't know Ukraine had did that. Exactly. I'm like, I don't know enough about any of that stuff to be like,

I'm going to go online and post my thoughts on. Dude, yeah, that's a lot of experts. A really good point. It's like I would be afraid to strongly state an opinion on a lot of things unless I like feel like I truly know as much as I possibly can about that thing. Because it's like important. Yeah. Like sports, that's why I love about sports is like,

yeah. We can get like worked up about people hating on the cheese, but it's like it's sports. Like, who cares? Yeah. Like, be mad at the chiefs. That's fine. Like, or like, let's argue like, Eagles versus cowboy, that's fun. But it's like, but when we take politics or whatever it is, I don't know and like act like it's sports and like just have talking heads all day, go back and forth about X, Y, Z. It's like, all right, this is miserable. And this is like actually like, like,

whatever. There's like core beliefs of people that disagree about this stuff. Like, whatever. Chiefs, who cares if you like the chiefs? It's mainly based on where you were born. It's not like this stance you've decided to take. Yeah. Yeah, but it's, I don't know what he would take for me to even voice a strong opinion online about something. It would have to be, I would have to be so intimately, it'd have to be like something about my family. It's like, my family is going to battle against Hamas. Here's what I think.

Okay. And then I would be able to share my stance. Here's my first hand experience. Yeah. Outside of that, I'd be like, I don't know enough. Yeah. I can't say anything about this. Yeah.

I agree. I hope that never happens to my family. Hey, stop taking strong opinion. You don't understand that much about what's going on. Sorry. That would be all, you don't know if that'd be all bad. Yeah. I don't even know if that'd be bad.

You're playing in all whites, pickleball tournament, though? Yes, when you're listening to this. All right, Hamas. You hear that? Hamas, do your thing. All right, next one. These are good. Number eight, I think time is going to have a fascinating career.

What do we think? where's he going to go? Who's he going to see? Who's going to kiss next year on New Year's? That's true. Like, will you sing a lot the next 20 years? Will you video a lot? These are things I think about and I'm like, that's what's fun though, dude. You're well-rounded enough where you have options. Yeah, different seasons might call for different things. Yeah. Like winter would be a coat. Hey, it's coat calling. Just letting you know, I'm ready to get on whenever. you are.

Call it. Yes, and. See how that works? Hey, the coat called. It wants it on. Good, Timel. Good. Way to be.

Thanks. Thanks. Once on your back. Yep. Right now. Yeah, maybe I should do like Vision board. Three years at a time.

It's like, this three years, I'm going to just sing a whole bunch. This three years. I'll go back to film and stuff. Right now, Tim. Jane, sorry. I didn't actually have a third thing. Okay. Perfect. January 8th, 2026, ideal future for you, you would say is what?

Right now. Don't you're not committed. You're, you're, I think I think my ideal future. I think I think that I think my ideal future. He had four I thinks. He's really like not committed to this. Um, would be where I find, you know, this is going to be, okay, everyone's ideal future. No, no. Where I find some that, that makes enough money. that I have time to do all the things that I like to do. Oh, okay. Yeah. Like, because there's a lot of things I like to do,

but it feels like if I try to do all those things, it's maybe it's harder to actually do all those things, if that makes sense. Probably a leading question or whatever, retort, I don't know. But would you want the thing that makes you the money to also be something that is part of the things you like to do? Or would you be okay with like, hey, I made all this money doing this thing. That's my main job.

But then it allows me to do all these other things for fun. I definitely prefer it to be one of my things that I like to do. Yeah. I think hot take, may I think that I'd like to spend my time doing things I enjoy. Oh, wow. Getting crazy. Pretty selfish. I shouldn't show that opinion on the internet, though.

Yeah. It's pretty strong. Let me give, let us. I would love ideas, though. You're not committing. Commit to one of them. Commit to one of them if you have to choose. Let's say, let's give them some options. Make them commit. If you had to choose one, let's say, oh, go ahead.

Is this the one thing that I choose that would like be the main thing that makes the money? We're calling this the primary 40 hours a week, give or take thing. Okay. What's the time period here for like the next five years? Your future. I don't know. Whatever. Yeah, sure.

Okay. I think I'd be a cinematographer mainly doing commercials slash short films. I'm not like gone for months at a time. Okay. But it's still like, that's what I'm doing. Cool. You're running the camera for high production shoots. Yeah.

I'd say so. Would you like to be in a director's role? I think that I would like to try that. I think I could. A year ago, I think I would have said, I don't know if I could direct something, but I think I kind of get it a little bit. But of course, I say that.

And then if I actually was in that role, I'd be like, there's so much I don't understand. Good. Good. Yeah. If you had to do one, if you had to never do one thing again, Which would be hardest to give up. Singing, performing video production.

If for some reason in your scenario, well, one of them is like takes all your time. You can't do the other for fun. Huh. I think it's like, I spend way more time doing video. So it's like, oh, of course I couldn't give up video. But it's like, for some reason, maybe it's since I get to like perform so much less.

Performing was your full-time job. Could you give up video? Yeah, I think so. It's almost like, I think I love performing. more, but I love video, but I just do it way more often. I don't know. Got our guesses. Do I have other things I like besides videoing things and singing? I'm trying to think.

Oh, I would love to get paid for music production. Garage band. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Good. It be fun. He thinks he thinks.

I think that I think that I... Yeah. I think this is number 10. I think it's kind of wild that girls are expected to like shave their armpits and legs and wear makeup and guys don't have to do anything having said that i like the balance we've struck as a society glad i don't have to do any of that amen yeah both yeah yes that's funny that's a lot of work when when katherine has to get ready for just the armpits alone i'm like how do you not scrape yourself it's like an archaeological dig

There's so many crevices. I just think like makeup and like that kind of stuff. It's just like, you're expected to look a certain way. Yeah. If somebody came into this door right now and said, hey, in 10 minutes we're all leaving and we got to wear suits.

It's like, crap. That's okay. Like let's go shower and put on suits and we could do it. It'll be a rush, but it'd be like, we can do it. Woman would be done.

It'd be over. She would not look good in a suit in either. Yeah, I was like, what are you doing? That is, That's funny because both things are true. It's like, that's not fair, but like, glad it's that way.

I think it's like, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's so true. And it's obviously, it's 100% just where we live in America. Yeah. It's like, there's countries where it's normal to not. And then it's like, that's what it is. But we are. It's subjected to this culture where it's.

Yeah, it's like, I don't want to see their armpit hair. Right. But man, I hate that you have to shave it. Yeah. Go ahead and keep doing it, I guess so. Please don't stop. I don't want to see it. God,

I look like a Rottweiler. Yikes. Winter. Yeah. That's good. I think that's it. I like those. They're all the things I think.

We should make that a recurring segment. I did that about 10 minutes before you walked in the door this morning. Do that again. So it probably could have been better. I think ghosties could supply some as well. Just just random nuggets of whatever. I think that I think. that I really do like that because it really

it takes the pressure off of like I am sticking my you know I will die on this hill it's like no no no hey I'm thinking here I think that I think that double stuff Dorios are the best cookies out of okay yeah well about oatmeal cream pie oh crap I didn't think about that when I was thinking

you're right maybe I don't know let's talk about it it it feels a lot more like humble and like hey I'm willing to talk about this it's not like you can't I'm gonna get mad at you if you disagree. Yeah, it's like, no, I just thought it for about five minutes. Yeah. That's good. I love that, Jake. Thank you for that. Thank you. Thank you. I think you for that.

All right. It's time once again to talk about signature pest control. Dude, let me ask you this. You got bugs? I don't have bugs. You got bugs? We got bugs. Dude, you need to, you need to go, you need to move your house to Salt Lake Valley and use signature pest control then. I actually do. honestly. I really, like just the last week, it's been very warm. And so all these bugs are coming in. I did see on the Kansas City subreddit that everyone is complaining about it. It's like, oh, it's not just me. Cool. It's a time of year thing or a weather day. So a warm thing, whatever. I know that signature press control could take care of it, though. Oh, yeah. And I don't have them in my life and I wish I did. Absolutely. And I think because, because they're local, like, if the bug problem

wasn't fixed, they would come out and do it again. They wouldn't be like, oh, we have a process for that. You have to call eight different numbers, and then maybe we'll get to you eventually on your queue. That is the nice part about hiring someone like them. Like they've been doing it for a long time in the same area. So like they're going to be familiar with the bugs. Like, oh, yes, we know about this. Oh, we've, we've been expecting this. I remember back in the fall of 01, yeah, these bugs ran rampant.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we called that the year of the stink. Yep. Stink bugs were everywhere. Yeah, we just, I don't know. I was going to try one more. Here's what I was going to try. Swine in 09.

That's good. Here's what I was going to try. I was going to try something about cicadas, renaming September. What about Cicada. What about Cicada Cicada? See, it's not that good. It's not that good.

And that's why we didn't want to say that joke. But if you go to Signature PestPro.com, there's no jokes involved. No. It's just getting the pest out of your life. All right. That's the whole website. Pest out.

Yeah, really. I'm glad that Jake didn't play. We'll do a history quiz instead. All right, last but not least, on the game night, spontaneous game night, we're calling this one anti-password. Oh, yeah. I asked about this beforehand. We're like, Jake goes, that's worth trying once.

It's worth trying once. All right. So how about, how about, I don't know, who, so, so two people are going to give the words and those people are trying to say words that connect with the common theme. So like, for instance, I said baseball last time. So we would have words that connect with baseball, but we try to make Jake not guess baseball. So that's kind of obscure. Base would be too obvious, but like, ball. I used, I said like stitches.

Maybe that was even probably too much. but like, or, uh, bench. Yeah. Stuff like that. All right. Let's, let's give, let's feed timing. Okay, so I'll text you. And then later on, timing and post, you can put the, or you can look at it if you want to.

You can play along if you want to. Play along at home, guys. Don't touch that dial. Jake, you have an idea or you want me to give you one? You can tax you already. You're already in the chat box. Let's say, um, is this, is this too specific? Maybe.

I will try my best. You're right. Let's do something else. I said saxophone. Time it. Let's see. I could have gotten that. Come on.

About. Perfect. You got it? All right. All right. You started me start. If you got one, go for it. Are you ready, time in?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Timer? He's ready. I'm ready. Drop. You don't have to guess every time, but you can't. New year.

Nope. No. Soft. Water. I guess. I didn't do good. I went too vague. Okay.

Okay. Maybe. Maybe it's right. Card. Return. Library. Dang. Wait.

I went on the opposite. I know. Libraries are soft. Yeah. What was soft? I don't think. I'm trying to figure out what that could mean. I am too.

They have soft, maybe chairs. Will Smith wasn't married. So it's not soft. Instead of hard back, I was like, oh, soft bag. Paper paper bag.

Sounds like a slur. Yeah. Someone of a soft back. Southern soft back. Like a white collar person is a soft back. Yeah, you've never worked with your hands.

Total soft back. All right. Get me out of this game. I'll guess. All right, time in. Soft. Let's do.

Brad Pitt. No. Frosty of the Snowman. No. G. No guesses. Okay. Brass.

You guys went back to saxophone, didn't you? Shoot. I went to... I wanted to get it a little more obvious so that Brad's had to be more... When you said brass, I was like, I don't know. I was going to say shiny next. I was like, I can't say shiny now.

Yeah. That's good. All right. Got 39 seconds left. I'm not good at guessing, though. I think. All right, me and Timon, we'll do one for you real quick. Great.

Yes. All right. Some comments. Comment of the week. So many Spotify comments. This is fun. I appreciate all the comments of people loved us saying the word on beat. They loved that segment.

Yeah. I'm so glad because I love that segment. Good. Yeah. I mean, just like people crying, laughing. When Josie said,

when Tyman said cube. Yeah. I was funny. like, and I said soccer and I said cube. Rice, rice, rice, rice, rice, cube. Rice, rice. Yeah, Jenna, this is not my comment on the week, but it's a great one. Jenna K. Caro 89 says, I'm silently bawling and laughed or listening to Jake trying

to say, foot, food, foot, food. That one was amazing. Did you watch that back, Jake? Uh-uh. It's so funny. You, right away. His first word was food, and you said food. Basically every time.

And then later in the episode, you, Brad did the same one. you made fun of him for saying the wrong thing first. Oh, really? Really? Food, food, food, food, food, food, foot, foot, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food. So good. The top comment on our last Spotify episode is just all caps. Butter, butter, bird bubble. Dang it, Frick, butter, bubble. Oh, man. That was great. Alexis J. This is my comment of the week. Alexis J. 611 said the chit talking is already going to be on my top 2026 moments. Time and take note. That's pretty good.

We're, you know, one episode in or whatever it is. Yep. We're already hitting it. People love that episode. Shout out to Trish. And I think someone else said it, but recommended the app called flighty. It can give you like a flights wrapped. So I will look into that.

Oh, really? Yeah. Rachel started to notice, she's like, we got, she didn't even know that we did that whole segment back in December recorded this. But she coming to me was like, we got too many wrapped going on. She got one from Progressive. It was like, your month in Progressive wrapped. She's like, we do not need this. She's been written a lot of.

so she could like see a few different. I forgot what else she got, just like. Crash champions wrapped. Yeah, it was something else. It was like, all right, we've already taken it too far. Somebody commented they got a PayPal wrapped. PayPal wrapped. And they're like, I don't want to see that one.

I got to go. Yeah. Look at that. Dude, a Venmo wrapped would be actually really fun. I would. Your most like, like, message that you sent. Yeah.

Venmo wrapped is kind of fun. All right, one of the week? Oh, yeah, one of the week. I this is not for people that are car people which I am not this is not going to be

impressive but you're not a car person time is not a car person I changed the battery in Catherine's car and I felt accomplished oh yeah

depending on the car sometimes tough to get in there I had like how's a human do this without tools at the end of I mean it took me it didn't take me that long but like it took me

a little bit of time and I thought to myself if I did this all day every day I would be the meanest most angry person in the world. Because yeah, you're just maneuvering tiny little wrenches and tiny little spaces and like kind of like shoving things like, I don't know. It was just like this. Being aggressive, microaggressions. Yeah, aggressive, but also having to be kind of like somewhat delicate. And it's

just like, I can't do this. This is too tight and too confined for me. I hated it. I didn't hate it, but I felt accomplished afterwards like, yeah, we saved money by me doing it myself. Yeah. So that was a win. We changed some batteries on the limo back in the day. And that was not easy to get in and out of. It was just like, I'll do it, but I know my fingers are going to hurt when I'm done. It was just like, I don't have anything to do this. I think this is right. And then you turn it on it works. It's like, hey, I did it. So battery. Great. My win is I put some stuff on Spotify. Hey, you did. Um, because there's the, there's a cover of a John Mayer song. I did to my friends. It's on Spotify. What song? Uh, waiting on the world to change. Oh, fun. And then recently found out,

it's just you can, you can, you can't predict. Like, I have no idea when it's going to actually go on Spotify when I try to put a song on. It's like so interesting. It just takes a long time to get it approved and it will just drop it. Oh really? But the the ghost runners like seasons of love parody is up there. Oh cool. Yeah. That's sweet. Go listen. Running homes up to 9,000 streams. That's crazy. That's crazy. Thanks guys. Thanks. I wonder if that's just ghosties or if that's gone to, that's gotten out. I wonder. Oh, it's out. It's out there. It's out in the ether. People love saying that. On the ether, man. Yeah, there's certain, there's certain words that I'm like, I don't really understand that word.

Meta? What's meta? I know, I know like Facebook, Instagram meta, but I don't understand when people are like, that's really meta. Is it like self-aware, like breaking the fourth wall or something? Like normally it's just like extra intelligent. Like, dude, that's so meta. It's like a Christopher Nolan movie.

Oh, dude, the way he did that. It's so bad. Oh, that's easy enough. It's kind of how people use it, but I don't know what it's short for. Is it metaphysical, metamorphosis? But that's how you understand it as like this. Yeah, it's like an, next level. Yeah, next level.

Okay. Thank you. Because, yeah, people love to be like, yeah, this thing is meta. Or something. I'm like, yeah, sure it is. Cool, 42 time, 42 folds. Ether. Sometimes when people are like the ethos of this or the, I'm like, just say the other word.

Yeah, unless you're going to talk in Latin full time, let's not just throw it in one every thousand words. Thanks. That's really like built it, like baked into our ethos. And into the logos. I kind of understand what you're saying, but like, you could say it more clear if you wanted to. Yeah, you're choosing a path of more resistance. Yeah, it's pretty meta. My win in the week is probably going to be heading to the desert, going to Palm Springs all next week for pickleball stuff and just a lot more than normal to be excited about, putting on our first clinic in person,

having a top pro player to cheer for, having Kyle to cheer for, I don't think I've even said that podcast. Kyle Kazuda, the guy we had on the podcast. We signed him to Friday, like, long term. like equity signed Kyle to Friday. Like he's really joining the team. Dude, I was editing a video with him and his laugh. It's, it's amazing. Yeah, it doesn't sound like a person. It's great.

He's the man. Yeah, so just I really, really have become good friends with him. And now he's officially part of the team. And yeah, get to cheer him on, get to shoot more videos. We've got an Airbnb with pickleball court. That's time. It's going to be out there for most of it. Yeah, there's a lot to be excited about next week.

Rachel's going to come out, I think Friday. We're going to stay an extra day. Shout on MLK for giving us that day off. This is kind of fun and not like current me, but I don't currently have a place for us to stay Sunday night. It's like, I just kind of see what we run into. Just figure it out. You see what happens and we'll find somewhere. That's fun. Have you seen the movie Palm Springs?

Have you seen it? No, I watched Palm Royale, that newish show. It's kind of a girly show set in 60s. Kristen Wigg, watch that with Rachel. Oh, okay. Palm Springs, I've seen it once, and it was just fine. but some people act like it's like, that's one of my top five movies

and I've seen the last 10 years. What? Andy Sandberg. Really? I don't think I've heard of it. Maybe I'll watch something like a flight here. It was like a stream, it was like a Hulu movie or something.

I don't know. I don't think it's like a, it never went out theaters or anything, I don't think. But it's just fine. You won't regret watching it, but you won't be like, well, maybe you will think it's like one of the best movies ever. I don't like it.

I don't get it if you do. I'll watch it as, Jake Simmons. I like him. Really? I just remember. Randy Sam Bird. Does it say anything about all whites?

Mm-hmm. K.K. Simmons. Yeah. Perfect. It's like the whole plot line. Hey, good game night, guys. That was fun. Good game night.

Absolutely. All right. We'll see you guys Monday. Thank you always for listening. Maybe by then the whole wrapping paper will fall down, but we're not taking it down. No. We're not taking it down.

We will give you our address and you can come take it down for us. And that's it. That's it. all right we love you guys we'll see uh monday
