What do you want to start with timing? I got nothing. I'll open my note and see, but. I got something that's pretty mediocre that I want you to just react just strongly to. And maybe you will, actually. Okay, well, just have why timing is going to open his note. You go ahead, Timmer.

He doesn't have an open. No, no, no, no. I've got, um... How does it take you over to freaking out? Picture of quarterback at beginning of Monday. Good. Add on clip of Isaac dripping sweat. These are the type of cool things in my notes.

This feels like you're just things that you need to do. Yeah. You have one note? Podcast notes. You have like a master note for your life? No, that would be kind of funny. This is just like I have a podcast note where I have things that I could talk about, but I also put the notes of editing.

Yes, I see. Yeah. Picture of quarterback. Yeah. Sam Hartman. Still my wallpaper. Old Sammy. Picture of Isaac's sweating.

What were you going to say to me to react to? Oh, man. Just react hard. Okay. Timon, you especially are going to know, you're going to understand this. Anytime you and anytime Catherine and I switch cars, Catherine is a feast or famine girl when it comes to the air conditioning and the heat. It's either, it's either all the way up, all the way hot, or it's completely off.

I don't like that. Neither do I, dude. Give me 73 degrees always. Yeah, let's let it just kind of like permeate the air. I need something moving. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, there's a lot of psychos out there who go, man, it's hot. And then a full, you know, max AC and it starts to cool off.

Like, whew, all right, nice. And then they turn it off. Completely off. Yeah, I don't like that. Especially in the passenger seat. Like, that's when the Catherine, I'm like, Catherine, we have dual control. You just lower yours down. It's like, it's not the same.

Yeah. It won't be the same. And I'm like, yes, it is. Yeah. Yeah, we switch cars all of a sudden. I'm like, what did she do in here? In the winter, where do you like air blowing out of your car? Oh, my hands.

My hands. Oh, sorry. Yes. You don't have that on yours? You, yeah. You connect. You don't have like a port that you connect into on your seat. Ventilation coming out of your body.

I want hands today, please. Oh, that feels good. No, I want it up in the top. I want it up in the top and every once in a while. I mean, once in the blue moon, my feet will be cold enough where I'm like, I should get some on the feet. Wow. But I, my hands control the rest of my temperature of my body. Yes.

Were the opposite? Really? What? We've probably talked about this on the podcast before, but yeah, wintertime, I go feet and defrost. That is where air is blowing. Well, defrost is kind of handsy. Oh, completely different vent. Yeah, but it's up there.

Yeah, it's going to hit your hands before the... But I mean, it's not the same. You're not the same at all. I need this. Not a moment too soon. My hands were getting chilly. Driving with your elbows. Oh, there we go.

Now everything's kind of warm. Out of the way, buddy. move move trying to get to work here like a strong right hand turn I just get I know you know this I mean I just get stuffy so quickly you get stuffy because it's not to me it doesn't feel like blowing on the hands it feels like blowing on the face I want it hot but not you know you're breathing on me

yeah yeah I know and I for whatever reason I love it even when the hands are not there like feeling it on the face you kind of like yeah yeah stuff it up but whatever reason, I need airflow in general. I just don't ever turn it off completely. Yeah, that is kind of wild. Yeah, it's like our Airbnb in Palm Springs, there's like they had a, they had like a tub outside,

but like no, I think there was like no hose or anything. It was just like, we have a pool of water. We'd like to provide you. Just a standing pool of water? It's what it looked like. No one got in it. We got some algae out here. You want to try it out.

Yeah, things need to move. Yeah. Where do you have your vents going in the summertime? time. Brother, if I've said it once, I'll say it twice. Hands. Hands. Hands. Hands. Hands. My hands are hot. I can't drive. My hands are too hot. Hands, baby. I love it up top. I, yeah. I mean, and I love even some naturally

AC with the window down. Even if it's hot out. It's just fun to have that window down. Yeah. I, in summer, see, I will go face slash hands. Yeah. Because it's, oh, yeah. I think that feels more refreshing. Yeah. Brad, when you have, when you're going hands, Are you like, because I We're going hands in this thing, boy. I will truly, and I'm talking winter. I don't do hands in summer. In the summer, it's just like face and body.

I'm not, this is what I mean. I, in the winter, my hands are like a lot of the time in the truest of cold. Yeah. My knee is driving and my hands are up on the vents. Oh, you really are like, Jesus take the wheel. My hands are cold. Like my fingers are so cold that my hands are like up against the vents.

Okay. But summer it's just like, this. Okay. It's just all over me. Listen, I don't want to pull this card, but I do have a heated steering wheel. Oh. And it is unbelievable. And so my hands are not quite as like, I don't need them. Oh, you pulled that card. Yeah. Every once in a while, I'll come back to it. Yeah. We have it in both of our cars now. And it is something. It's one of those things like that and adaptive cruise where it's just like, I don't know if it's going to be really hard to not have this. To ever not have it for any kind of like long period of time. Yeah. Let me ask you this about a huge steering wheel. Are the two cars that you have different in how they heat or where they heat the steering wheel? Correct. Well, I don't know about where, but it feels like Catherine's van is hotter than my truck.

Like, I'm like, I'm pretty sure my heating steering wheel is on. And I look and it's like, yeah, you're on. Okay. Yeah. So it's not like, like, but Catherine's, it's like, you get on there. You can, you can really feel it. You can heat up a cup of coffee if it's getting little lukewarm. Like, oh, we're good.

Little Bunsenberger up there. So, yeah, do you have one? My car, yeah, heated steering wheel. and it's great and I like it. And then when I drive Rachel's car, her heated steering wheel is truly only, the heaters are only at 10 and 2. If you navigate away from 10 and 2,

it's like ice cold. Oh, interesting. You can like tell the difference. Oh, it's like so drastic. Like they've somehow only heated this part. So in a way, yes, I'm like driving so, when my hands are cold, I'm the best driver in the state of Kansas

because you can't, you can't go away from it. It's so nice. Yeah, my car, it's kind of like the whole like circle. There's like coils in it. As far as I can tell, that's how ours is too. But yeah. Anyway, yeah, I don't know.

The heat steering wheel is nice timing. Yeah. Look into it. I wonder if you think you're going to have that car a while. I wonder how much that is to like aftermarket, like just install that. I haven't seen that. You pay someone 200 bucks to do it just like a heated steering wheel cover. Is that a thing?

It's got to be. Maybe. Like a USB. Yeah. Plug it in kind of thing. That'd be tough though if it's like a cord and you're like turning in the cords. Uh-oh. I got wrapped around.

Oh, I got turned left. It's routed from the vents. That's what it should be. It's taking some of the air supply from the vents and just like feeding it to the wheel. So it's whatever your air conditioning is set to or heating. Do you ever blow air out of the feet? Do we go over this? Sometimes.

Okay, sometimes. Like Bride said, like it's the same. When my feet are especially cold, I'll do it. But usually it's my hands. Do you feel different from the heat feet? Feet of the heat? Heat of the feet? I think you feel it when it's not there.

You feel like, oh, it's cold down below the deck. It's cold down there. I guess it just depends on what kind of shoes I'm wearing, but I'm like, it's not permeating those shoes. Like, like, Timon's got some classic just Air Forces right now or whatever those are. Heat can't get through. I don't think you need him. Like, he's got long socks on.

He's got long jeans. But like, right now I got like shorter socks on. I might feel it in, in that instance. Like my shins might feel it a little bit. As we all know, heat rises. I think if we don't start down below, it's never going down below. It's not coming. Yeah.

It's going to just stay up here. We got at least let me give a chance. to go up there. Start down below. That's heat. Sorry, that may, heat rises. Then I was going to say heat takes the form of its container. I don't, obviously that's liquid.

Did you know my kids are learning right now? There's four states of, I believe they call it matter. Time of let's figure this out. You're never going to guess the third. Solid gas liquid. We know that. You went gas second. Good for you.

Solid gas liquid. Everyone throws it in third. A fourth state of matter? I believe that's what they're calling it. Like the, yeah, there's a fourth of whatever this is. Magnet. Magnetic. Honestly, the, like, noodle.

The second letter is correct, and the way that you pronounce that second letter is correct, aka the A. Ah. Ah. No, I'm sorry. It's a third letter, but it's a. For this. So we're playing wordle.

You got a, you got a trajectory. Yellow A. Yeah. I feel like it's super sciencey. I feel like this is like, well, technically in, you know, different dimensions, you could have black matter no gerarch matter that would be black would be uh gray gray green a gray gray for uh little so nothing besides the a also this is a six letter word so i guess so tough um i'll give you another clue i think this might be a good clue i'm a big fan of like i want to give you a clue that's

actually a hard clue not just like i'll give it away right now. You know what I mean? Rimes with. Yeah. I think you're not going to get it from this time. Centrofuge. Does that help you at all? Seems like it should. No, it's a pretty strong like stretch. A type of matter. I'm trying to think the world does I know it. I know. Let's think about water. I wouldn't even know if I would think about the matter aspect of it because I don't think I know what this thing is in regards to this stuff. I think it can turn from a space. Is it a word that we know? Spaces.

Yeah, good question. Have we heard of this word before? Jake definitely knows it. You, I would bet $100 that you know it. Yes. $1,000. $1,000. Cool.

The idea I think is that, Catherine said, something would go from a liquid to a liquid to a gas to this. All right. We have ice cube. It's getting way less tangible. Yeah. It's like ice cube to water to vapor. And then beyond that, it goes to a figment.

Almost messed up. Try to get that A in there. Stalactite. Stelagment. What's beyond gas? I don't know. All right. These are good clues.

Another clue. This one might give it away. I'm just going to be honest. Blood. Sal. Cell, yeah. Blad. Try to get that A in there.

Blad. Blad. Yeah. All right. Third clue. Halo. Plasma. Mm-hmm.

Really? Who knew? I've never heard of this word. You've never heard of plasma? I just wanted that thousand bucks. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too.

Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go. Yeah, get on your feet because it's a ghost from a spotting. Everybody's on you. Yeah, who knew plasma? I don't know anything about plasma. I don't think it's the same plasma that comes out of.

Maybe it is. Yeah, our blood cells. Yeah. But is that how you understand that plasma is separated from blood when you give blood is the centrifuge? That's what I was like, I know kind of this word, but I don't know exactly how to use it or describe it. That's the only thing I could think of with the centrifuge.

Yeah, from what I remember from doing plasma, they take your blood out, and then they spit it. spin it in a circle to separate white and red blood cells, give you back half, and they take half. Oh, okay. That's better than the explanation I would have said. Plasma. Yeah. So, also, put that any notes. Let's, let's go ahead and do other things that kids are learning these days that you didn't know. And maybe we've already talked about this one. Sorry if we have, uh, name the oceans real quick. Okay, timing, here we go. Indian. Yeah. Well, hey. Atlantic, Pacific. Those are the ones that are Arctic, east and west of us. Guess what? There's

another one now. The South China Sea. Close. Honestly. South Indian. I think it's called Ocean is the one where Ocean is the huge, right? Oceans are like the big ones. Oceans are the big ones.

Seas are the ones that steal from Bellagio, the MGM Grand. Let me make sure this is what it is. Yeah. Yeah. It's called the Southern Ocean. And this is new?

This feels like an air line. line. Southern Ocean. Yeah, honestly, pretty cheap flights from Vegas to New York. Is this not new to you? Have you heard? I don't think this is new to me. I don't know. I think this is new to me. Yeah, a thousand bucks. It says the body of water encircling Antarctica officially recognizes the world's fifth ocean extending north to 60 degrees south latitude. Huh. Newest ocean. Yeah. It, let's see, recognizes the fifth ocean by National Geographic Society in 2021. So there's learning about another ocean?

Living under a rock. Why do we do that? Pluto's out, Southern Ocean's in. Yeah, you can only have so many terms in the glossary. You know what I don't care for is when you look at a flat map, like the globe is spread out. 2D from left to right, America on the left, Australia on the right. We can all imagine this. Yeah, that's how America, that's the right way of doing the main.

Yeah, that's a good way. Map, I've never, what is that? A globe. You just keep pretty like you have no idea. What I don't like. is I feel like I really don't have a clue how big Antarctica is. Because it seems like it's like, oh, it's spread out. It's like most of the bottom.

We were just talking about this last night. But then when you look at a globe or anything else, you go, oh, that's a tiny little circle. So how big is Antarctica? Yeah, how big is it actually? I don't know. Because the other things are like, oh, well, the flat map is wrong anyway. Like South America is way bigger than actually is Africa is way bigger than it is. Like, these things aren't even right.

Wait, is that true? Yeah. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think. is pretty small. I think. That's what I've heard.

Greenland is huge. Greenland shows up. Oh yeah. It looks small on a map, but it's way bigger in reality. I thought it was the opposite. I thought Greenland looked pretty small, pretty big on a map.

Wait, why are they not to escape? What? Because it's, I think it's because it's a circular, like because we're on a, we're in a sphere. Are we Jake?

Are we Jake? Are we Jake? You sure? Sure, yeah. We're on a sphere. you look at a time zone map. I think of South America of being like pretty much right below us.

Okay. Would you agree? I don't know. You don't have to disagree with me. Maybe a little bit like bottom right. It's a little to the right of us. But then if you look at like a time zone map, it's like, oh my gosh, South.

It's got his arms. I was just, I was excited that I was right. Greenland appears massive on a standard map, but it's about 14, 15 times smaller than Africa. What? Like, it's very small. Good job. Thanks.

What? No wonder you put your arms up. It's not. But South America is like way to the right. South America is way to the right. Look at the time zone map. I'm like, that's not how the maps I've seen look. South America is right there next to Antarctica too.

Yeah, it gets close. Yeah. Dude, we're all about, we have a map in our dining room right now because our dining room is also where they do homeschool. And so, first of all, it's amazing what Hattie knows. Like, Hattie, I think by seventh grade, they have a challenge where they literally from scratch have to draw a map of the world.

That's fun. And so like just the other day, we were talking about, oh, we were talking about missionaries or something. And we were talking to my dad. And he's like, yeah, we have friends that are missionaries and Hungary. And Hattie, on a map that has no labels on it is like, Dad, is hungry this one or this one? And I'm like, I don't even know if you're in the right vicinity. And of course she was.

Like, she like knows it. Like, it's amazing. I'm just amazed at how much she knows about that kind of stuff. So, yeah, it's great. We were looking at the map the other day because I was showing him where Isaac and Scott just were in Malaysia. And I didn't know where Malaysia was, to be honest. Like, I thought it was maybe farther west than it was.

Anyway, it's kind of fun to look and see where they were. The very western part of South America, yes, I'm still talking about it. Ecuador, Peru, that is the same longitude as Florida. Okay. Like, we almost don't even overlap. Like, it's like they are completely to the right of us. I might have, I might have guessed that, but I would have guessed like, yeah, but they're like completely the right of us, but then like the farthest right point is not that far away from us,

Does that make sense? Like, yeah, yeah. Oh, Brazil Juts out there. Anyway, just don't trust maps, I think is the point. So the Greenland one is the one that I'm floored by because just the other night we were looking at Greenland like, geez, that thing is huge. Like, that's crazy how big that is.

And how, and Catherine's like, yeah, like 40,000 people live there or something like that, I think. And Trump wants it? Hey, let's have some natural. You're right. Why is it 14 or 15 times too big on a map? Yeah, that's too bad. Well, isn't it?

Is Canada like a tiny little, there's like Hawaii size? How big is anything? How big is anything? We don't know. Because how do you... There's no true feel? How do you translate a globe to a horizontal map? Like, that's why they struggle with it.

The things that go in have to be just like stretched like crazy. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's very difficult. Uh, did you know that guy? He's like the security, like really low voice guy on severance. You know, like the big dude?

Oh, yeah. I think so. Doesn't talk very much. Yeah. But like, yeah. He is, is it Icelandic or green? He's one of those two. And he's like the most popular person from there.

He's their hero. He's like the only person that has ever left kind of thing. It's like him and the singer, is it Bjork? You heard of Bjork? Yeah. They're from up there too. She, I think he's a girl. I was watching the Winter Olympics yesterday and they were like,

you may not know his name. He's the Nordic, you know, cross-country skier or whatever, but back in Finland, he is a national hero. He is the Tiger Woods of Finland. And I just can't rob my head around that. Oh, yeah. Really? like skier, I guess

if those are your sports, then maybe they are. Well, it's just like, I mean, just Scott and Isaac talking about Malaysia and how crazy pickleball is in Malaysia. You're like, really? Like, it's kind of figure out the rest of the world. Like, I was watching figure skating with Hattie. And it was between

Japan and America for like the gold of this thing. And this guy, you know, classic figure skater, commentator. This is huge for they're just kind of love it. And here in Japan is like the biggest besides maybe baseball, Japan is the, you know, whatever,

figure skating is the biggest thing in the world for them. They're going to be partying the streets if they win tonight. Oh, yeah. Whereas, like, America is like, what are we won again? Cool. Right on.

What's the guy's name? Ilya. Cool. So, yeah, it's just, like, different sports. Like cricket. I don't understand why cricket would be anything to anybody. Yeah, I watched a cricket match in Australia. And, yeah, shocked how popular it is.

it's like you guys ever seen any other basketball yeah yeah the uh the game we saw was one of the um you know you don't even really realize at the time but then we looked up later the home team the team that we were like there to support you know the melbourne you know grasshoppers or something melbourne braves they scored like the third lowest point total in like australian cricket history that game yeah yeah it was like an NBA team scored 55 points or something and Like we were there for it. There's like a drought of a night. Yeah.

Historically bad. Like, this is cricket, huh, okay. And like, oh, no, normally it's like twice as much scoring as you saw tonight. Wow. That's kind of crazy. Yeah. You can see, you can say, I saw the most boring cricket game.

They're most of the time. Yeah. I saw the 6432 blowout back in 2019. Yeah, I was there. I'm willing to have this conversation right now. Who do you guys think, and by Hugh do you guys, I'm sorry, Tymond. Jake, who do you think is the most, um, the, the best athlete of all time.

And let's talk about what that means. Okay. Because that's where I think that's where it gets a little bit hazy for me. It's like, what does it mean to be the best athlete of all time? Okay. So first of all, just tell me what you think. Oh, oh, okay. I mean, I have thoughts already.

So I want to, I don't want to sway you before I tell you. Do you want me to tell you the rubric or like the criteria we're looking for or just like give me my suggestions of best athlete? Let's just do like a four minute podcast and let's just say the answer and then move on. I'm just kidding. Let's do rubric. what we're looking for is it like, because I think one argument is like the most dominant

of their sport. Right. And that's where, yep. Or is it truly based on like things like vertical jump in coordination and strength, like a feat of athleticism? Correct. Like you're a specimen.

Is that what makes you the most athletic? My argument is, yes, that. That one. Like LeBron James, Serena Williams, whatever, something like that.

I always come back to like, I think it's just got to be a basketball player. Like, it's just got to be a basketball player. basketball, like, because to me, it's like, if you're an athlete, you could, you could switch and play anything pretty well. And like, I don't think other sports are going to translate to basketball very, like, Usain Bolt, amazing runner. But if he can't catch and shoot, like, he can't play basketball. Like, he can't jump. I mean, he could sprint to the basket,

but what if he can't carry the ball with them there? In my experience, just anecdotally, what I've seen, if you could play baseball at a high level, I think that transfers to the most sports out of anything. Like I've seen baseball players that's true. Like pick up everything or just like be good at a lot of things. Like they naturally like you have this rotational torque that makes you good at racket sports.

That makes you good at golf even. Okay. And then also like at that point, basketball and football are way easier than these other sports. That's pretty interesting because that's a great argument or great thought because the best basketball player of all time. Michael Jordan struggled with baseball. Like got better.

Yeah, but he wasn't the Michael Jordan of baseball as well. Yeah. Like, so he didn't translate over there nearly as easily as maybe somebody might translate the other way. Maybe. But yeah, to play basketball at the highest level, you almost just need these physical traits. Like you have to just hit the genetic lottery and have to be six four or higher. Correct.

Like, like a great, like, I don't, Patrick Mahomes would not be an NBA basketball player. He would look so tiny out there. He might play in college. Yeah, he might be good enough to play in college. but he might, or Tom Brady, Tom Brady's not a, he's a very successful athlete, but he's not the most athletic person of all time,

like the best athlete. Yeah. Right? So yeah, best athlete of all time has to go to like LeBron or like Bo Jackson. Yeah, Dion Sanders maybe, but he's short.

He's a little stump, though. Who else? Alex Honnold. Who knows how that guy can dribble? You do it on a, we haven't seen him yet. This guy's scraper. He'd be like,

this is sick. Yeah, I don't know. My answer was, LeBron, James. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, maybe, hey, good, inclusion. Yeah. You get your pink water bottle of the day,

maybe Lisa Leslie. Shill swoops. Yeah. Tanya Harding. Talk about rotational torque. Let's talk about it. She hired a hit man. Yeah.

But, allegedly, right? I don't know. I think it's pretty pretty pretty much. What does a guilty plea mean? I don't know. Is that still mean you're allegedly? Yeah, my answer was just like LeBron over and over. It kept coming back to LeBron.

He's still dunking pretty easily. Like, LeBron could be a very good tight end in the NFL, I think. Yeah, I think he'd do just fine. I think he'd be all right there. You know, like, you've seen, I'll tell you what's athletic. Have you seen the, he's done enough times where now there are compilation videos of Steph Curry noticing when NBA courts are incorrect? No.

He's done this like three or four times now. And so, yeah, I saw like a compilation. So there's one where he's dribbling a basketball. And immediately he's like, hey, there's a dead spot on the floor. Sure enough, they have to come fix it. Really? The other day, he misses, I mean, the video is great. He misses two threes in a row in warm-ups.

And he goes, hey, the rim's the wrong height. Sure enough, they go measure it. And the rim was like two or three inches too high. Wow. Like, he missed two in a row. And he's like, I don't miss the rim missed. Really? Like, I don't miss shots.

Like, you clearly messed this up. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. To be like, you know, you hear about like somebody like in the CIA trying to figure out forfeit or not counterfeit money. Okay. And they're like, they always just look at the real thing.

So that way when they find the fake thing, they'll know like it's different. Interesting. It's like Steph is just so familiar with this one thing that like when one little thing is off. It's like, I can tell. Yeah, even if you don't like sports, I think you can appreciate someone being such a like master of their craft that they notice these inconsistencies in the movie taken where he's like, I knew he tries to pull a trigger. he's like, yeah, you've been mad at a desk too long. You forget the weight of a loaded gun. I like stuff like that.

I like people noticing like, hey, this golf ball is producing slightly less like RPMs than what I'm used to when I chip. It's like, that's funny. You're so familiar with what you do at a high level. It is, yeah. I feel that way I can't think of a good example right now, but every once in a while with woodworking stuff, it's like something's off about this.

What's a humidity today? Because this wood is. You can just tell like before I'm making a cut. I'm like, uh, something's off. I can't think of a good example right now. Joey Chestnut. I mean, I'm not even making stuff. He had that quote.

we go to the dogs look fast today. What? Have you seen that? It was a part in my take. They asked him like, yeah, like do hot dogs vary from day to day? And he was like, oh, yeah, like July 4th, oh, 6. I remember looking out the table and thinking dogs look fast today. What?

Yeah. Like something about, I don't know if maybe he said buns. I mean, either way, it's funny. But like, he just looked at him. He was like, oh, those are going to go down easy. Really? This is going to be a world record day for me. It's like, yeah, those are seven, eighth the width of normal ones.

Or I don't know if they were just glistening there. I don't know what he's looking at. He's like, oh, yeah, dogs. Little humidity in the air. I forgot exactly what the quote was. I told me you know it, but something like that. Oh, yeah, dogs look fast today. Do you feel that every time it was like, I don't know what it would be?

Like, even when you're like so used to, just as a consumer, watching a video, AI is a great example, at least for the younger generation. He called him fast buns. That's what it was. Oh, yeah, we got fast buns today. All right, just keep going. Oh, but just like, you could just tell, like, there's something off about this. Like, you just know, like, even though it's,

really well done deep fake of Joe Rogan or something. It's like, that's not Joe Rogan. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at that. I think, I think like with visual things or like, you know, I think there's sometimes I'll, you know, if I'm watching a video, an edit draft or something, I'll notice like one frame of like blackness or like an adjustment layer is like off by one. Like I think I'm pretty good of picking up on that. I know what's that adjustment layer? Or like, yeah, if you have, you know, maybe some slight color correction, but you did like over the top of something, but you forget. got to stretch it fully to the last frame of that clip.

It's like there's a slight flicker before it goes to the next one. I think I'm pretty good at noticing it. Or like a frame rate. It's like, oh, that's 30 frames per second. It's not 24. Like, I don't know. So I think I'm pretty observant. You can tell the difference in that.

Or it's like, yeah, I've seen the real thing enough times. Enough times, yeah. Yeah. I thought of this when you said Steph Curry. Did you hear that the Big 12, I'm sure you haven't, but their Big 12 tournament, they're doing the first ever LED court. In other words, like, this is a Mr. Beast floor. I think so.

I think it can be like instantly changed like the design of it. Wow. That's cool. The three point line changes every couple minutes. Steph Curry is like, uh, that three point line was two inches closer. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

I'm really intrigued because obviously basketball, you play on a wood floor. So I don't know if this is wood or if this is something else. It's got to be something else. But like how is that going to work for bouncing the ball? Yeah, that's really important. Such an important part of basketball. is like the feel of the court.

Like you can tell when you're playing outside versus inside versus a little sport court. Yeah. They were doing this for the Big 12 tournament? Yeah. Like swap in advertisers or something maybe? I don't, yeah, I don't know. They were showing like, I did watch a 30 second video

and they were just like swiping all the different like courts of the Big 12 on there. So it was like a KU thing in the middle and then K State, whatever. So I don't think they're going to do that. What if every single possession, they just switched to a different color? Defense!

Like all these graphics. Yeah, they got to know how to like do it, but don't overdo it kind of thing. Hey, Jake. What's going on? Oh, just think about how sad I am. What's going on? Just, uh, just kind of wallowing in my own pity. Oh, sorry, hear that.

What's going on? Not a whole lot. Just kind of sad. Oh, how come? Sike, dude! Dude, you got me, dude. Did I? Oh, wow.

You were about to start, like, yeah, worrying about me, man. Yeah, I was about to stop recording. No, dude. Every day's a good day. No, let me tell you why. You got beans in your grinder. You got grounds in your coffee. We are sponsored by Main Street.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaking of the B-Skeams 4, did you watch last night? I did? Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah, what do you think? It was awesome. Really? Oh, I thought it was the best, I don't watch a lot of reality TV.

I thought it was the best episode of reality television I've ever seen. Really? Okay, okay, okay. Remite or talk to me more about, let's just say, spoiler alerts and let's just talk. Okay, B-Skips, episode eight, spoiler alert. This is like the $1 million on the, you know, take as much as you want of the million kind of thing. Yeah, episode. It's just always exciting when they don't take their share.

Yeah, let's keep talking about it. Yeah. It's just exciting. It just makes her better TV. You know, Jimmy loves it. Oh, yeah. I think he was even like, holy crap, we've got an episode on our hands. This is insane. He did a good job multiple times to the point where I was almost annoyed with it, but I was like, recalping like, this is your money. This is your money, however much you want to give to everybody else. But, you know, that framing it that, does make it be like it's different oh rather than like hey this is everybody's money how much do you want to take from this money yeah it's a little different um so yeah the first guy so time in and for anyone else listening i think even if you're not watching base games you you'll appreciate and understand

we're saying there's a million dollars in a box and there's you know one guy who's kind of the captain he gets to go first and he gets to select how much money is he want to take from the million dollar pot that's a collective pot and the rest is left for the other nine people well so in theory or you know mathematically he should take 100,000 and every single person will get $100,000. Yeah. And they did this in season one.

So there's been a lot of buildup to this. Like they've all said like, hey, now we're final 10. If there's a money grab thing, we're doing $100,000. We're so close. We're so tight. And they did.

There has been like no backstabbing this whole season. They've all been good friends and they've been like, I mean, these people are buried alive and they're saying, I'm 100% sure. Dude, I'm getting $100.

I'm getting 100 grand. They're all so sure they're getting it. And it's just, it's great TV. Yeah. First guy goes up who's been super trustworthy, the leader of the pack. Said no to a million dollars earlier. He's turned down a million dollars once. He was pretty close to winning a $1.8 million like private island.

Yeah. And then I think the pressure just, I mean, it would be hard. You don't know what it's like, you know, if you haven't been in that scenario. It got to him where he's like, holy crap, am I going to turn down a million dollars again? And he takes 250 grand and right away that just sets the tone. Because in the second guy goes up who thought they were best friends. Yeah. He sees how much money is left.

And he's like, dude, Nick took 250 grand. What was all that 100,000 talk? He was mad. He was like, he was hurt. Yeah. Catherine calls that guy, Isaac. Yeah. Just like Isaac.

I think he's my favorite right now. I agree. I think he's my favorite right now. I like him win the two girls. I hope they win. Hannah or Katie. Oh, the smart girls? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, really like August. So then that guy's torn up. And so he's like, all right, what's 750 divided by nine? All right, great. I'll take that. And he's like mad taking his money. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, which is also like, I have such a hard time being like, I mean, yeah, you, you earned that money, sort of, but also like, fun little gift. Yeah, dude. I'm watching that be like, I could use $83 grand right now. And one of them was, I think it was the guy who like, um, spikes his hair, as they might, might be Corey or something, but he, he was like a kind of crazy beer. Yes, he was like very upset that his friends took all this money, but he, I noticed him. He's like, thank you, Jimmy. Thank you. He was, like, very thankful that he had received this money.

Well, did you notice, I think it was two episodes ago, maybe last episode, when the families came, like, all of a sudden it was kind of revealed, like, his wife and, like, they're Christians. Oh, was it? I missed that. I mean, it wasn't, like, super explicit, but, like, his wife was like, praise God. This is amazing. And then all of a sudden he said something like that, too. And so now I'm kind of pulled for him, too.

He seems like a great guy, too, because he also was in a position. He was, like, fifth. And he was like, all right, well, how much is this much divided by five? And he took his share. Yeah. Because the guy who went forth, Brett, who Brett is a interesting looking fella. His fiance came on the show doesn't quite match what Brett looks like. Was she a babe?

Yeah. And Brett's got this handleball. He's bald, but he's got a red handlebar massive. Brett looks like a guy on Guess Who. You know? She got bald with a fume. Brett, it's Brett. Yep, you got it.

Brett wasn't existed for the first like three or four episodes. Yeah. And then it was like, I guess we got to start putting this guy here because he's going to make it in the top 10. Like, yeah, no one really has strong opinions on this guy. But he went fourth and I don't know how much was left at the time, $620,000 left or something. And he goes, I'm going to take $250,000. And that's when Jimmy was like, oh, boy. Yeah.

But also it was insane. They didn't tell you exactly much time at a lapse. But I think he took like, I don't know, two to three hours to make that decision. Oh, I bet more. I mean, maybe more. The sun came up. The son came up while he was deciding how much money to take. Even while Jim comes up later, he's like, all right, what's this divided?

He didn't even ask. He actually took less than his share. I think he didn't do the math properly. Yeah, something. There was 188,000 left. And he's like, huh, that's kind of crazy. I'll take 62,400 bucks, which is not 188 divided by three. He, like, took slightly less than his share.

Which kind of tracks for him. Yeah. And he just, like, made his decision in 30 seconds. I, here's how I feel about everything. Yeah, that was like the first half of the episode. It was crazy. And then, yeah, the second half was them all, like, figuring out what everyone took and all this stuff.

I think it basically, at least in the history of Beast games, which is only one season long so far. But if you're going to take $250,000, you're going to have a target on your back and you're not going to probably win. This is what Rachel, I kept saying it. We're like, it's oddly generous. I know it doesn't look like it,

but like, if you're going to be the villain, be the villain. Be the villain. Yeah, take a million dollars. I would have, I mean, you want to get like historically, villainous, Jimmy, I'll take $999,99,000. Yeah.

Just like go down industry. Talk about, talk about a image is like the second person who's been buried alive for three hours comes.

It's like, I can't wait to get 100 grand. It's like, one dollar. You're like, what? Are we doing prices right?

Sorry, was that his bid? Or what's going on? Do you imagine how, how just cinematic that would be? Yeah, because you can't.

One dollar. You can't just like, pretty much betray your friends. That's what he did. He like half-heartedly betrayed it. Because the next stage is like, hey, you guys all vote for who's going to be the top six,

but you can bribe each other in order to, and so it's either like, okay, I have to give away $250,000 minus however much to get into the next chance. But there's no guarantee of that even. I think people are still going to be like, no, dude,

I don't trust you anymore. You're not my friend anymore. Like, yeah, if you're going to go, go. Yeah. If you're going to, because you're going to ruin, if you're going to ruin the friendship, do it full send.

Do it and get as much money as possible for your family. Yeah, because what are you going to try to be like, hey, don't be that mad at me. I only took $250,000. I could have to take in a million. You have to pretty much concede like this is what I'm winning now. Yeah. This is all I'm going to get.

And you have a one in 10 chance of winning $5 million or $10 million, or $10,000, you know, technically, potentially. So go ahead and just take the guaranteed $1 million and say, all right, well, you know, I'll end a 10% chance. Either that or do $100,000. Yeah, yeah. I would not. deviate from that.

Yeah. And once again, it's hard, you know, when you're there, I'm sure, like being like, yeah. Nah. It would be hard. So another extremely fun aspect of this is about halfway through the people, like the sixth person to go probably. Yeah.

Is this girl named Monica who's won this coin that they did this in season one where, so she has this coin that's almost like an immunity idol of survivor of sorts where when it gets down to, I don't know, the final four or something. At some point later in the show, that coin can be flipped. And if the right thing, you know, is up, then it doubles the price pool from $5 million to $10 million. So everyone is very incentivized to keep Monica in the game because she's got the coin. Like we want to see this go up to $10 million. Well, in private, as Monica is deciding how much money she wants to take from the pot, there's like $188,000 left.

Yeah. Jimmy comes out and says, hey, I want to buy the coin from you. I'm willing to offer you half a million dollars right now to give me the coin. He was like, this shows over budget. I really don't want to give away $10 million. Can I please get the coin from you right now? And so she accepts the bribe or she sells the coin. But doesn't have to tell anyone she did it. And what she also does, I mean, she played this like, who knows how it's going to work out for her.

So she's taking zero out of like the collective pot. So when the whole thing's over with, they're like, all right, who took what? What's going on? They each go down. And it gets to Monica. And she's like, so when I got to the pot, it had 188,000, you know, 4,000. $400, and then Jim, the guy goes after her. He was like, because he knows that's how much was left when he went there.

And so she's crying. She's putting on this show. Oh, she was playing it up. I just, she was not crying. She was just making this. And it's like, no tears are coming, but she's changing. Other people are crying. She's like giving it her best shot.

So she looks like this saint. She's like, I just, I want her and your guys just trust. And I thought that was wrong what they did. So I took $0. And I'm like, Monica, you're the best. you have the coin. That's so great of you, Monica. Oh my gosh, you're the best. And I was sitting like, this is so good. This is insane. They don't know. Dude, even though she has half a million dollars. She got the most out of anyone. Yeah. In my head, I, no, out loud to Catherine,

I was like, she should have taken some money because it's, I think it's very suss, dude. It's suss up the shit. It's chunga sussed, dude. Oh, dude. I can't, I can't even, I don't have anything to contribute. Um, I would, I would. I was, was like, she needed to take some money because if it were me, I would have connected those dots. I would have been like, okay, even if you're selfless, you're not completely selfless. Like the people that were most selfless were like, hey, I'll take my share rather than, you know. Yeah, it's a little suss. It's like, okay, I think that there's something going on here.

So, and it looks like at the end of that episode that Isaac McDonald figures out, hey, I think that she did. And that was awesome. The great cliphanger. Yeah. It's one movie like him. I hate the cliffhangers. This August guy talks to the camera and he's like, hey, so I think I figured something out. And he basically just pieces it together.

He's like got it nailed. He's like, I think the reason Monica took $0 is because she sold this coin. Right. Oh, it's got to be good. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. Because so now he's going to call and be like, I need, you know, you to, what is he going to? I need this amount of money. I need your vote or else I'm telling everybody.

Yeah. Well, you did. Pretty crazy. So. He has to just watch eight through 10. You should watch it all. Honestly, it's still fun even if you kind of understand some of what's going on. Also, these names are going to go over your head.

You're going to forget. Yeah. Yeah. So something I noticed last night is like when they got to the final 10 and they're having like somewhat heated discussion. I mean, they're like good friends who are now mad at each other, very impressively articulate. You don't get that a lot on reality TV.

From what I see on Love is Blind or even like Survivor. It's like these people are all like pretty smart. They're like very articulate people. It's like refreshing to see them handle. Really? Yeah. you know, just odd circumstances. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like, do you think the producers are whispering their ear? Like, you need to talk slower. Yeah, yeah. Say it again. Say it again, but an nunci it, please. Use a bigger word there. Here's a, here's a thesaurus for you. I talked yesterday, actually, to my friend Luke.

Okay. Extracted Luke. Oh, yeah. All right. What did we get? He was over there at, he was looking at a foundation stuff for me. And I was like, dude, I watched you last night on TV, whatever. learned. That's so funny. It was. It was crazy. And like, yeah, it's just fun. I mean, I was like, I don't know if he wants to talk about this. We talked for like an hour. Like he wanted to talk forever about it, which is so interesting, man. So first of all, Luke's a Christian. And not that Christians never falter. Of course we do. But like, one of the things that a lot of Christians don't do is cuss. And on the show, every once in a while, like, he'll do something to be like, bleep him out.

He's like, dude, they're bleeping me out and I'm not cussing. Oh, no way. Whoa. And I was like, that's interesting. That was the first thing he told me. He's like, I promise my 10 year old I would not say anything that would get me bleeped on, you know. He's like, they're not cuss words. It's like racial slurs.

It's different. I think he said he's like the one thing that I did say at one point when he got a package was bad A. And he's like, I don't even think they cut that out. Like that was the one thing. And I, in my head, I was like, dude, if I were in. situation. There was a time where he fell and he's like, I thought I broke my leg. I was like, yeah, I probably would have cussed right there too. And so I, like, he falls and like then all of a sudden just like bleep, bleep, boy, boy, boy. He's like, I didn't say that. I didn't, no, I didn't

say anything. That's the point of the editing it that way. I don't know. And apparently other people are getting bleep too that aren't cussing. It's so odd. I don't like that. Very interesting, right? What else do you learn? This is great. He's like, dude, they make it look like a cakewalk compared to what it is. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Like how hard it was for him to be in the woods. He's like, It was awful. It was so hard. In the second episode, maybe third episode, the most recent one, they had these lanterns.

They had to like, but depending on how much, how well there are people back at HQ do, that's how much light they have. And they have to go out in the darkness into this trail. Like by brightness or by length of lamp? Yeah. Length of lamp. And you can turn it on and off if you want.

Okay, so it's like, you have an hour and a half. But you don't know how much time you have. Oh, yeah. And so you might just get stranded in the wilderness, you know, with bears or whatever. Oh, I can serve that. sucker. I would leave, I'd leave two hours on there and not knowing it probably.

Catherine and I were like, what if, you know, from our very nice, cozy earth sheets while we're watching in bed, like, why don't just keep it off the whole time and acclimate your eyes to the darkness? Seems pretty easy to me. Be a bat. Start using echolocation, genius. But it was really interesting hearing about that because he, he's like, there was one girl, Amy, she was only a 10-minute walk to this place that she had to get stuff. And I was a 25-minute walk. And they start walking when it's still a little bit light out.

Okay. But Luke's lantern was broken. Or no, his infrared camera was broken. And so he had to have multiple different cameras come to him. And so he didn't get to start walking until it was like pitch black. That sucks. But another thing that he said was like his brothers, all the different people at HQ could write you a letter

that could give you tips on like coordinates or something like that, but also like anything else that they might think is helpful. And his brothers wrote him a letter that said, everyone's gunning for you right now. Oh. And so Luke made the decision of like, no matter what, I'm going to pull a sympathy card here and just sleep out in the wilderness. Like I'm going to get like stranded out here. It's what his thought was. And so it's really interesting.

Like, because on the show, his brothers right now, at least I think look pretty clean, pretty good. Like playing it the right way. He's like, my brothers were like bad. backstabbing people and deceiving people. Really? And so it's going to be interesting watching the rest of the season to see like if their character arc is like turns a corner of like. I need to watch this.

I can't believe you know a guy on this show. It's crazy. It's so crazy. I was like, and of course he's like, you could tell he like wants to tell me more like how he did or whatever. But I was like, would you do it again? And he thought about it for a long time. He's like, I don't know if I'd, he's like, honestly, the harsh thing was my, like my wife,

like not knowing how I was doing for a month. She had no communication with me. He's got. four kids at home. He's like, my three-year-old thought I died. I was like, oh, my gosh. Yeah, maybe don't do that again. He's like, yeah, but maybe I would.

But yeah, just crazy. I'm trying to think of anything else. Oh, there was like, you know, they would like have to do a challenge out in the woods. And so on the speaker, they would explain, like, all the different rules of the challenge. But then they would always say, but production has the right at any time to change the rules on you. And so, like, there's that. Yeah, anyway, there's, there's different things with the characters.

Like back at age, anyway, it's just, it's just like so interesting though. Like he's like, yeah, they're making it look different than they actually. He's like, and there's other things like amazing moments that they haven't put up. I hope they put him on there eventually because he's like, he hasn't seen any of this stuff yet either. Yeah. The first time he's watching it all. But he's like, what's it called the bow drill? Is that what it is?

I don't know. The two pieces of stick basically that you rubbed together for fire. There's like pharaoh rods. and then there's a bow drill. And I've watched this. And every time I watch these people struggle to make fire with the supplies they have, I'm like, if you're going on the show,

you got to train for it. It's like some people have never used it before. He's like, dude, I trained for three months with that. Is it a, can you look at uptime? This is it called bow drill or something. Some kind of drill.

He's like, I train for three months. It looks like bow drill. Yeah. I successfully lit a fire four times. He's like, you have to get at the perfect angle. The perfect amount of kindling, the perfect oxygen, you know, everything.

You have it transferred over here and like all these different things. And so apparently this bow drill has different notches. And he's like, I was on my last notch of this bow drill. And if I didn't get it, then I wouldn't have fire. And he's like, I went down to the lake. I prayed. I was like, God, you've got me this far. Like, if you can do this.

And he's like, I narrate the whole thing to the cameras. I went for it one more time. And I got fire. And I went crazy. And they haven't put it on there yet, which is crazy. he's like, sure, that's good content, right? Yeah, for everything. Like, and he even announced, he's like, this is my last notch.

Like, if I don't get this, I'm, you know, done. He's like, apparently everyone at HQ is going crazy for me and everything. And so, anyway, it's just, it's interesting to hear from his perspective, like, all these different things and how it all went. But he's like, dude, he's like, I looked like a meth addict by the end of it. I was so depleted, you know, like, he's like, my wife cried when she saw me. because, I mean, for multiple reasons, probably, but just like, you look bad. Anyway, just wild stuff, dude. It's a wild concept.

Like, I told him, I was like, like, some people have to have to be homeless or have to be, strained in the wilderness for whatever circumstance. He's like, I'm like, you, you chose this, dude. Yeah. Like, you're crazy. Like, that's crazy that you wanted to do this, you know? So, but he said he's already, like, getting contacted by other reality shows and stuff. Oh, really?

So, I don't know. I told him, I was like, my dream is to be on Amazing Race. So if you've ever, if you ever contact or have anybody contacted. CBS comes calling. I think he said the same producers for extracted were amazing race people. Oh, really? So I was like, hey, come on. That'd be awesome.

Jake Triplit, Brad Ellis. That'd be awesome. We'd get to the top five. Oh, we'd have fun. We would have fun. We would be electric on there. Anyway. Rachel started watching.

We got done with Beast games. And while I was still like in the kitchen, I watched like the first 15 minutes of like, Love is Blind. Okay. New season just dropped. I was like there are so, it just drives me crazy. There are so many opportunities to be funny. And no one cares about being funny in these shows.

I can't believe it. They're just trying to be, I've never watched. I know Love is Blind, the premise, but I've never watched it. Like, yeah, maybe it's getting edited out. Hey, I don't know. That's good. But yeah, I'm just like, no one wants to like crack a joke. Everyone's just here for love.

Yeah. No one's trying to be like generally liked by the public. You just want to, like, date on camera? I just, I can never get over that. When others over, you don't have that trait? Yeah. Yeah, just something like, you don't want to stand out? Sense of humor, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, imagine the uphill battle, the mountain that would be to edit a TV show like that. Like, hey, we have 18 days worth of footage. We have to condense it down to about four hours or whatever, you know, however many. that is crazy to think about because like even hearing Luke like talk about there's this guy on there Roman he's like

because I was like could you ever like hear other people or anything he's like every once in a while I hear Roman rapping over in the corner I guess about it though because he was a really loud guy uh or one time somebody got a supply drop and they got really excited about it and I could hear them yell

but I was like they don't show Roman rapping that's fun like they should show that show Roman rapping yeah so have you watching the Mr. B behind the scenes yet? No, I haven't. Especially in the early episodes, they talk about how, like,

you know, there'll be a person who's assigned to like, all right, I'm listening to these four people's mic, and as they talk, I am typing out what they're talking about because we don't know how far they're going to make it. Yeah. Mr. Reese always talks about that. He's like, we would have way less work on our hands

if we scripted even part of this. But he's like, this is, I'm very big on this, like compliance, legal, it is so unscripted. We have no idea who's going to make it. So we need to know early on what they're talking about, their alliances,

things they're good at, things they're scared, about. He's like, we're listening to everything and we're writing it all down. That's crazy. To make the edit eventually easier. Yeah. Even that, that's, oh, that's exhausting to think about going down that rabbit trail of, okay, yeah, you're thinking about this and you have to relate to this person. And then they have to decide, like, is that worthy of, you know, talking about it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You have to have so many media. Oh, it's so ridiculous. So many things after to sell. That's crazy. Yeah. And trying to do it somewhat quickly and anyway. Yeah. And you also,

are owned by Amazon, who probably has deadlines. It would be fun to hear from any of the Beast Games people. If any of you guys are listening, you want to come on the podcast. Hey, Jimbo, come on. Because Luke was talking about, right now, on extracted, Luke looks like he is the number one, like most, what's the word, like,

he's the leader. Competent person out there. And he's like, and so they had this challenge where they had the lanterns and they were trying to go get these supplies. And Luke got their first. Or so it seems. And so, like, it's like, oh, they're trying to add to this narrative of like, look at this guy. He's, he's number one.

He's like, no, I was like the sixth person to get my supplies. Huh. But on the show, it looks like, there he is. You know, he's, he's trustworthy. He's the one. Of course he's the first one there. He's always the first one. He's doing great.

And so it's like, I wonder if they're like building him up in order for him to like have some kind of, oh, maybe he's going to get out soon, you know, all of a sudden. Yeah, it's like, yeah. So, anyway, pretty interesting stuff. Extractive. You've been on next dress like Superstar. I'm on next year. This Facebook watch show. I get it.

I get it. Shout out to Jake Triplett. Guess what I'm drinking right now? It's a deep cut. What are you drinking right now? I'm drinking a protein shake. Cookies and cream organ. Huh.

Where do you think I got that? Oh, from last year's Super Bowl? From the big box of fun. Expires March 2026. So we got a few weeks. That's not a big. bad. That's a good protein. You know? I had the box of fun. I understand why you put it in there and didn't keep it for yourself. Really? Yeah, it's, it's all right. Okay. It's, it's, it's my last

protein that I, we're trying to, you know, tighten up everything. So it's like, let's just use what we have. Don't buy anything else till we need to. I guess I'll use this cookies and cream. Yeah, plant-based protein. Yeah. And here it is. Yeah. Shout out. Shouts. Yeah. Shout out chiefs. Yeah. I made sure oysters were presented by them, you know. Yes, we are. Yeah. We're supposed to say at the beginning of the episodes. Yeah, well, this is going to be a five-hour episode, so it's actually still relatively towards the beginning. Shout out Main Street.

Here's a fun update and something we should talk about. Timon's going to be a star. Oh, it already is, but what's that mean? I actually know what this means. Zach and Timon started texting me yesterday, and they're like, it was mainly Zach, really than the charge. She's like, hey, boss. Hey, boss, man.

I want to do some stand-up. Zach is pretty gung-ho right now, like wants to go and do some open-mic nights. Yes. alongside time and alongside me, like wants us all to go to open mic nights together. Yeah? Yeah. Okay.

Comedy open mic nights. Yeah. This is like, yeah, good. This definitely has been Zach's idea, but I'm like, I love this idea.

I think it sounds fun. I think it's going to be, based on what I've heard, like, it'll be fun, but pretty awful. It'll be awful. Yeah.

You don't even affirm the fun part. No, it'll be awful. Yeah. You're right. It will be awful. But that's what's great about it. That's what I'm so excited about. Like, I want, you got to, you got to, like there's a band of brothers thing, bro. You and Trey are the only people in the world like had talked to about this thing.

I will have more people to talk to what it's like going to a brutal open mic night in a city where the comedy scene is not great. And, oh, the things you're going to hear. You've met Scott Peck before? I have. He came to one of my open mic nights and was so giddily excited. Like, this is going to be so fun. Uh-huh. I know they're going to be so bad.

but it's going to be hilarious how bad they are. Scott Peck, one of the purveyors of joy in my life. Yeah, one of the more cheerful people. Seven minutes in was like, this is bad. This is terrible, dude. This is like, this is, that's awful. So I was trying to communicate that to him. I was like, I still want you guys to do it.

Just pray before and after. Yeah, wash your hands too. Zach, one of them suggested, like, should we do open mics or maybe we just try to gather some of our friends and close you know friends of friends and we try to just do our own show and I was like that's probably got to be more helpful but no I want you to go do it yeah the adult way you got yeah you got to get a little bit of coffee grounds in there yeah it needs to be bitter yeah you got you got you got to work through some stuff but I was like yeah having said that like it will be like

you have to say it like the people going before and after you they're at it over my night but they are not comedians these are isolated individuals of our society who like I think maybe don't have a lot of confidence or don't have a lot of friends and they don't even have a lot of sense of humor and they're going to go up there and they're going to say some insane things. And then you just have to sit there in silence for two hours and then you get to go and then you perform and then it's silent for you and then on the drive home you go whoa. Whoa. Was that a good use of my time? The hardest thing about it and I stick with this is like at least at the rhino the one that I've been to the most is they have a fan going. It's a low. hum. No way. It's so funny you remember that. No, because I don't remember that. No, it's, I mean, imagine, first of all, you're only in there with, let's say 30 people. That's exactly what I told them. I said, best case scenario, you go at the beginning of the night and you perform for 30. And so there's 30 people in there. So even if, let's call this a pretty realistic scenario for your best joke, even if your best joke gets three people to laugh out loud. Like, oh, that

was actually funny enough for me to laugh out loud. Not just like, oh, I see the humor, but I'm not going to laugh. here's how hard I laugh out loud when I laugh. And here's how hard it sounds whenever there's a fan going. Timmy, you can harmonize with the fan. Honestly. Yeah, for three minutes. And so it's like even when you're somewhat successful, you'll never know.

You'll never know because of the freaking fan. So maybe in the wintertime it's going to be good. There's no fan going. Is it blowing on my hands? Where's it blowing? Or is there a heater going? But I mean, Because no, people aren't laughing that hard anyway, but the few times they're going to laugh, it's just going to get drowned out.

And so it's like, all right, I guess no one laughed the entire time. And then you go and perform for 2,000 people and you're like, no, people were laughed. Oh, yeah, that crushed. That worked. Yeah. Great. So anyway, good luck. I think if you have any semblance of like, well, I did that once and I cannot do that again. Like if you have any fear of that, maybe do the other open mic night first or at least like, But I think Zach seems like the kind of guy that's like,

Zach could do it and like, get booed off stage and Zach would be like, that was awesome. Yeah. Am I true? Am I right? I think you're right. Zach's like, Zach's the one that like reaches out to Jake and asks for ridiculous deals on rent.

And he's like, oh yeah. Any wiggle room with that? Yeah. It's what, yeah, it's one of the things I love the most about it. He's like, he's going to, he loves an experience and he's like,

he'll make it enjoyable. Yeah. Which is why I'm excited to do this to do this with him. Yeah, doing it together. It will, the drive home will be very fun. Yeah. It might be miserable for two and a half hours, but the drive home will be like,

can you believe that guy said that? Yeah. And then I had to go after him. Might I suggest, maybe not the first time, but eventually you guys literally do it together. Like you were up there on stage, like you,

one person lobs up the joke and the other person does the punchline. That would be kind of a lovable act. Yeah. Yeah. The two of you together up there. I asked Zach, we were texting last night, and I was like, all right, so what are you?

what do you what do you got so far yeah he goes i need to i need to start a stand-up note in my phone i said that's good start good start i got some ideas up here but uh need to get them on here that's good um he said well a funny thing did happen to me today i don't know how to turn into a joke i was like what happened he said i was getting my face shaved and the barber plugged my nose and she was holding a knife to my upper lip so i wasn't brave enough to open my mouth so i just didn't breathe for a little while. And I said, I mean, the fact that you're an 18-year-old homeschooler getting your face shaved is pretty funny to me.

I don't really care about your nose being plugged. Yeah, but like a female barber. So then that's what I told him. I said, say, I said, yeah, like, talk about being homeschooled. The first one would touch you besides your mom was a female barber in training. And say, like, say, I love a good massage, but you know it's cheaper than a massage, a female barber. I was like, I don't care at all about your nose being plugged.

Why are you getting shaved by a woman? Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. That's worthy of a chuckle that he's not going to hear. I'll say that right now. He'll hear the fan.

The fan alone. Yeah. It's rough, man. That's fun, though. But yeah, you guys just need to give yourselves a date, like, no matter what, because there else you won't do it. But just like March 5th, we're both, like, we have three weeks to, like, write. It's only three minutes.

Yeah. And just, yeah, just know it's going to suck. Great. Yeah, talk about a necessary evil, man. Like, you can't, you can't just practice at home. Like, you have to go in front of people. You have to try and see how it feels. But golly.

Necessary evil. Like, truly, like, just, timing, you're going to come back and be like, I get it. You guys, because everyone's, lying. Everyone's like, I'm sure it's not that bad. I'm sure, like, I can find joy in this. It's like, maybe for two minutes you can.

And then it's like, Nope, that was too far. Oh, I've never heard that joke before. That's so fascinating. Yeah, good for you. I think there's a world where I can see Zach somehow winning over some like women in the audience though. Yes. Dude.

Like he's just got this charm about him where he doesn't really need to say that much. Thousand percent. He kind of nod at him. And then he kind of chuckle and then he just keeps nodding at him. And they start laughing. He just keeps, you know, like I feel like he'll just do weird nonverbal stuff that they enjoy. I am so excited for you guys to see. After Trey's show, me and Zach went around.

Like, it was going to be both of us like, kind of on the street interviewing people for fun. And like after I did two, like we did every other. And I was like, Zach, go for it. Take over. And like he, it's just, there's some incredible clips.

Yeah. It's like, I think he should do this. What did he do? He sent me some. He got some like really drunk women to do like a tray chant really loud. And just like quick way, it would just like good, you know,

conversations and stuff. It was funny. But I'm trying to think of the best. Eventually we were outside on the street, started interviewing people that were not at the show. Just like a group of people in this car that was parked like by the venue and like talk to them for like five minutes. And they were like eventually they got out of the car. We're talking to him.

It was great. It was just like. And he just, Zach, after he's like, I just, I became a different person. He was like, I don't, I'm not like in control of what I'm doing when I'm doing. He's like, I don't know. He reached a state of just like knowing what to say. That's great. Yeah.

He sent me some just like raw clips. And yeah, he was just like, he found the two drunkest women there. Everything he's saying, me like this is not usable. but this is hilarious. I mean, they, they love me. They're like, I don't know his effing name. The first guy from Shawnee, he was my favorite. Zach passed that along.

I was like, thank you. All right. I wonder if that'll go in Trace Highlight Rail. I bet, yeah. That needs to go, that needs to be the, like, intro to your, like, right before the base drop of, like, a montage of you. I don't know his effing name. The guy from Shawnee, he was my favorite.

Now introducing. That's kind of funny. That's great. that'd be a good highlight real like yeah and just show some of your best maybe maybe like a pickleball highlight like just you doing some crazy shots or something the guy the guy from shoddy that's great yeah it's like sample in a in your like rap debut song yeah yeah it's kind of a yeah producer tag anyway so the boys are gonna be comedians great every wednesday at the rhino i'm looking online yep i still have music open mic nights mondays and tuesdays i would try i would try i would

that too. I bet it's, I bet it's even better. Yep. Yeah, I wonder what a musical. It's definitely better. It has to be. Yeah, it has to be better. Music is, yeah, just like music compared to talking. Surely, it just has to be like a little bit of a leg up energy wise. It's got to be. And it's got to be more popular. Less awkward. Energy and just more talent. I was going to say, I think you can be a mediocre musician a lot easier. You can be a mediocre comedian. Probably so. Not, not saying, I'm not saying it's like easy to be a professional musician. I'm just saying. Yeah.

We're not saying we don't like Van Dusen. We're just saying comedy's a trickier thing. Yeah. I was trying to think of a fun wordplay. I couldn't. Van Dusen. I was trying to think of another van. Van Helsing is the only one I can think of.

He's not a comedian, though. Van Wilder. Darn it. Van Wilder. It's harder to be Van Wilder. That's fun, timing. I'm glad to hear it. It should be great.

It will be an amazing. experience, right, Jake? It will be awful. Truly awful. And I can't wait. I'll go with you guys. Sweet. I need to, yeah, dip myself back in that boiling hot water.

Just one more time. Yeah, every once in a while, you got to remember how good you have it. Yeah. It's like, we could be here. I could be here every Wednesday. Do you think there's places in the world that open mic nights are good? Like, you know, you always hear about like, oh, yeah. I got my start, the comedy seller, you know, whatever.

It's like, would that have been like, would those have been generally good, or was it still like a lot of rough? I bet the talent level is better, but I bet you're still performing for 30 other comedians and it never gets that loud. I bet that's the same. But at least the jokes you have to sit through are better. Because a lot of the comedians are like, I don't want to laugh at that. Like, or like, yeah, they're funny, but they're not as funny as me.

Yeah, I mean, you know. You know. It's like, uh, whatever. Good job, buddy. Anyway, fun. Every week, every week, every bleepin week, we get to talk about Main Street Roasters and then we also get to talk about cozy Earth.

What a blessing. It is a blessing, brother. It's a great blessing. I think I talked last episode about how I didn't sleep well and I wasn't in my cozy earth. Last night, cozy earth, guess what? Slept well. Step home.

Slept amazing, dude. It's just, they're just heavy enough. The clothes are just heavy enough to where it's like, super comfortable. It's not like a weighted blanket to the point where it's like, I can't move. I'm not in a straight jacket. I'm just comfortable all the time. There's something about, we haven't talked about this in a while, but the big, I think they called a cuddle blanket. Yep. But just the massive blanket. Biggest blanket I've ever owned. Only blanket I ever need to own. Consider getting that. It's a full season blanket. It's nice. We use it. Some of you guys keep your

conditioning pretty low. We use it every night. I eventually, here's, I hand up, I do not sleep with it because it's too warm for me. Okay. And so we use it every night to get warm. And then before I go to bed, I bring it and I drag it over to just Catherine's side. And sometimes it falls off. And I get up early in the morning. I put it back on her. And she said, it's one of the most loving things you could do is put that cuddled blanket back on. Isn't it the best when you do the bare minimum? And your wife is like, thank you. Dude. Honestly, crossover ad. I also make her mace roaster's coffee. And all I do is put

cream and then put the coffee in there. And she's like, thank you for making. my coffee. My hero. You're welcome. It's the easiest thing. I do so much more than that that you don't like that much, but those two things. So is there a reverse of that? Like if Rachel makes like macaroni, I'm like, thank you. She's like, I promise it's bare minimum. Yeah. It's like to me, yeah, anything. Bringing me my water or like refilling my water like without me asking. Wow. You just knew I just wanted more water and you're getting, yeah, I was going there anyway. I could take a refill on cozy earth. Anybody?

Waiter. Can you refill on joggers? Yeah, fill her up, please. Fill up the cart. Can you refill on bed sheets? It is nice having the second set of bed sheets. Like, you know, my mom comes over. Rachel's mom comes over.

No, please, please, please stay with us. I got cozy sheets. Yeah, it's nice. It is exciting to, like, introduce somebody to Cozy Earth. Yeah. Fun colors. Like, they got the classics, but they also have some fun striped. Striped.

It's fun to say striped pajamas. So get some striped pajamas. I love the. their socks. I'm wearing their socks right now. When their socks are clean, they're on my feet. All right. I'm just going to say that right now. Yeah. Here's a tagline for you. Cozy Earth. If it's clean, it's on me. The most time in that, I'm trying to say like it gets used all the time. Like, cozy earth clothes spend the most time in the hamper than other clothes. Probably because like the second they're clean, I wear them. I'm trying to say the same thing you said, but in a more convoluted, like,

almost feels a negative way, but it's not. Well, that's good. That's what brands want. Cozier.com is the place where you have a clothes that need to get washed the most. Yeah. Like the dirtiest clothes are cozyers clothes. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah.

Because of how much you'll wear them. Yeah. Epsop facto, get 20% off. GRC. Cozyert.com slash. Timing? Ghostrunners. Thanks, Tim.

I love you, man. I got something on my chest. This is something where the more I've thought about, the more I'm shocked that I haven't seen a meme about this because this feels like something that would be like a cultural thing that we acknowledge is like silly. Like at this point, the like hot dogs come in a pack eight and buns coming a pack a day.

You know, I feel like everyone knows that now. Yeah. My new thing that I, Rachel, I went to Walmart the other day and we needed paper towels. And I get looking at the plethora of bounty paper towels that are available. Do you know where I'm going with this? You were about paper towels at Walmart? Do I know where you're going?

Nope, not so far. in like the upper left corner of every paper towel, there is what looks like algebra. And it'll say, it wouldn't feel free to look this up. If you're listening, if you're in the room, actual paper towel or the package. The package, like the six pack or the eight pack or whatever,

like that the paper towels come in. Okay. Look this up so you can refer to them to talking to. But in the upper left, it'll say something like 1836 double roll. And then next to it'll say 24, 45 triple roll. Yeah, there it is. Yeah.

And then it's like, 1888808 make the music bounce big old roll Rick Ross roll and like what are what does anyone understand what these numbers mean I don't know what the difference at double roll and triple roll what you mean 1836 eight mega rolls equals 32 regular rolls what does any of it mean how do I know what a regular role is then yeah it truly is that in is that in ply are we talking length are we talking with what's a regular role well Jake is that per strip like the strip is Mega rolls are four times bigger. Oh, bigger.

Yeah. Mega rolls do look huge. But sometimes, like, I'm looking at one that says 12-36 double roll. I'm looking at one that's 1836 double roll, and they're different size packages. I'm like, I don't understand. If they're both 36, why are they different? What's a double roll? Yeah, here's a six double plus rolls equals 15 regular rolls.

It's a lot of algebra thrown in. I never noticed this before. And I was like, there's no way I'm the only one. I've never seen a meme or anything about this. But this is incredibly confusing. Where can I find regular rules where it just says 12 equals 12? 12. Yeah, that would be nice.

Can I get, yeah, just like a. Oh, here's a regular rule. It looks like it would absorb zero. And that's not bounty. Bounty would never just go eight for eight or 12 for 12. Nope. Here's a six equals 12. 12 equals 22.

How? 12 equals 22. Yeah. 12 equals 22. Scott is a Scott brand. A lot of it doesn't make any sense. Eight equals 12. I mean,

they're going through liberties to make these things equal each other. Wow. And is this thing where it's like every mom listening is like, oh, I know what it means? Or is this like,

no, no one knows what it means. Everyone just, no one's, I'm educated. No. Here's one that just, this is from super premium towels.

They have over 2,200 sheets. They just say it straight up in sheets. Yeah, they should just do it in square inches. Yeah. A half a million square inches in here. Oh, right. man, that's crazy. I'd never noticed this.

Wow. I don't know what any of it means. That's one of those things are. I would have never cared. I would just be like, I don't know, just get this one. But now that you're pointing out, I'm like, I'm going to notice that every time. I just, I'm a value shopper, you know, I start shopping around. I was like, wait, how much is the 1836 triple rule? And what was that 8 by 8 by 2x4 roll? I'm pretty confused.

That's so interesting. Yeah, I had no idea. Yeah, I've never seen it. on the internet. I also have noticed that there's quite a few different brands here that I've never heard of. Viva is one that I'm looking at right now. First Street. Yeah.

And they're just trying to get into the game. Sparkle? Nice to try. Double rule. Yeah. Interesting, man. All right. Fire me up, baby.

Who's the biggest competitor to Bounty? The quilted quicker picker upper. Is Charmin in the game? I don't know. I think Brawny. Marlon. That sounds right. Brawny man. I don't like that name for a brand. I like it as the name of like

a guy's son. Yeah. Brian James. Like a like a nepotism. But Bray W.A.W. N. Y. Yeah. Scott looks like they could be like a, you know, like the more commercial like you get those at the Home Depot bathroom. You got the worst toilet paper. I don't see any other ones I've really heard of besides those.

Viva. Viva looks like they're doing all right. Don't sleep on Viva. All right. Next business. You know, Costco brand. I think that's what we get. We're just, we're satisfied with them. So.

Anyway, that's what I have to get off my chest. That's good. What do you guys have to get off your chest? I already said the thing about the air conditioning. That was super interesting. I have one indirect from Jensen Harper. Okay. Jensen Harper cannot get over.

And it is kind of amazing. There's a sports app. timing called Bleacher Report. Probably got to be the top five, if not the top sports app out there. And regularly, almost daily, Jensen will send me a screenshot of typos in the titles of these Bleacher Report things. Huh. Whoa. Like, it's not anything like crazy, but it's like Kauai want out of L.A. or something like that.

But it's like all, like all the time they have these typos. It's like, you're a bleacher. Like Jensen's like, you are the biggest name, one of the biggest names in sports and you have all these typos. Especially in the title, because I've heard of people nowadays, like, proving that you're not AI is, like, so annoying and difficult that people are, like, throwing in, like, mistakes into their copy. I don't think you should do that for the title, though. So I think this is just an idiot. And it's, like, consistent. Like, it's not like, it's like, oh, they messed up once. It's like different sports, different, you know, he's a big Browns fan. So he'll send me one of, like, Scherdur, have big game, or I don't know if it says it has, you know,

but it's like, it seems like it's just like, Oh yeah, here it is. Report, colon, Marcus Freeman, the Notre Dame coach. Freeman to staying at Indy. To staying. Yeah.

Freeman, what? Probably Freeman committed to staying at Notre Dame. Here's what's going to happen because I think this happened with Starbucks. They were spelling so many people's names wrong that they were like, hey, why don't we get the word out there

that we're doing that on purpose for, for our publicity? No, our bristas aren't idiots. This is a marketing card. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beach report's going to do that too. It was like, oh, so it worked. So you guys are talking about us.

Got you. Fire that guy. Fire that guy. All right. Yeah. This is how marketing's done these days. Control the buzz. There's one that's trending.

Marshaugh bikes to NFC title. Marshaugh does. Marsha Lynch. Marsha Lynch. That's just crazy. Janus want to win with bucks. Maybe they're just hiring people that that's how they talk. Hey, you know, I heard y'allis want to win bucks.

Yon Shianna's sure won't win bucks. It's crazy, dude. Rivers, Purdy, put show out on MF, MNF. I think it's just supposed to be Rivers and Purdy show out. Jensen, I'm with you. This would grind my gears too. I would become obsessed with this. Shadur Sanders was sacked for a loss of 13 yards on 4th and 2,

with a little over five minutes remaining in the contest. Five? Five. FI. There's no way that's not underlined in red. You would see that so easy. Unless they're using Adobe. Yeah, maybe they're video editing.

Yeah. So. So, you put all the premiere first and the coffee and paste it. So Jensen, I'm taking up that stand with you, but brother, Solidary. You're right, Taman? Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tim, what do you need to get off your chest?

I was trying to think, I just had a, it's not even a good story. It's just an embarrassing thing. Like, you know how I couldn't just wrap my head around like the change thing with the, like, McDonald's Drive-Dru? I was meeting somebody for, to buy a desk, Facebook market. place guy. Yeah. And it was 80 bucks. And I had like, I didn't have exactly 80.

I had 320s or had like a $100 bill. And I was like, I, it's true. It's not a good story because I can't tell it. I was like, I have a hundred. Like if you can break that or whatever. And he was like, yeah, I, he went to his truck. You like, I think I have, I have what you need. And again, Gary comes back out.

And he's like, all right. Like, he's like holding up what I am supposed to know. because I'm supposed to not be an idiot. I'm supposed to know like what we're exactly exchanging. This guy truly like this guy had the and could have taken the opportunity to just like take advantage of me completely because I did not know what I was doing. He just held out some money to you. Basically we just like we did some sort of exchange. I was I was very like openly self-aware like I'm like I feel so dumb like my generation is screwed and I. Did you go into all the soapbox?

Like my generation, I'm sorry. We were just laughing about it. And he thought it was funny, whatever. But I was just like, wow. And I truly understood it so little that I can't tell the story. I don't know what we did. You don't know really what transpired. I don't really know what took place.

I love the idea of time being like, if you have a 50, I'll just give you $120. It's like, well, it's $80. Call it good. It's like, okay. So I should just give you $100 then? I need $100 more. or 100 less?

Time is you just not learn subtraction in school? Like look at him right now. He's confused. I don't know. Because I'm like, this kind of sounds like how it went. I don't know.

Like, I mean, you asked him if he had changed, so he only needed a $20 bill. So where did all the confusion come from? Yeah, that's what it was, that's what was weird.

It's like he had a lot more. That's what I was expecting was him to go get a $20 bill and get back to me. Maybe, maybe he had a $100 worth of. I want to say, I want to say a $50 was involved. Yeah, maybe he had like a $50,

three, tens. and four, fives or something, he's like, here's a hundred bucks. Yeah, it was something like that. Then I was like, why am I giving you a hundred bucks if I'm supposed to pay you 80? Why are you breaking up into a bunch of little parts? That's for sure what happened. All I need is a 20. He thought you needed to break 100 on the side while also doing this transaction for $80.

Also taking $80 of those $100 and giving it back to him. Yeah. It was, I was just, I was my brain, like there was a loading thing on my forehead. Like, I was like. You still don't really understand. Like you're like, did you get the desk or is it still? I got the desk. Okay.

Yeah. Nice desk. Great. That's hilarious. Yeah. It was just sad. Let's just do some quick mental math subtraction questions with time and see if he's like just bad. Yeah, I might just be really dumb.

47 minus 38. Nine. Good. Good. 17 minus eight. Nine. Good. Good.

All right. All right. Let's do nine minus zero. Nine. Good. Pretty hit the review. But, um. All right.

It's just going to get worse. 72 minus 36 minus 5. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. Hold on. 36 first, I think, and then 31. Very good. All right.

It's in there. It's slow, though. It's so slow. So we got it in there. It's in there. It's an old computer. 121 minus 72. That's good.

Watch out. That's a tougher. It's like it's basically this. Wait, wait, wait, wait. One below. Sorry. That's how I think of it. What did you say?

121 minus 72? Yeah. 48. 48. Yep. 48. Wait. Like 409.

It's somewhere. Hold on. 121. It's 40. It's 49, right? Ding, ding. You got it. Man.

First try. Man, that's bad. I think it's tough when you go from. It's really bad. Because, like, one digit to another, or like the hundreds. Hundreds can get me. Yeah.

I, like, I promise there was a time when I was pretty good at stuff like this, but it's like, I'm not great at mental math. When I don't, subtraction,

especially just like, I'm only ever paying with a card, like things like this, it's like, and nothing in my, that in my, like, in my, like,

job involves it ever. I'm like, it just, it left me. It's probably like you in Spanish. Like, if you're not, like,

yes, I used to know it pretty good, but I'm not doing it on a regular basis. Like, when would I... Yeah, it comes back on. Sharpen this. Yeah.

Yeah. I should just, like, do a little, like, quick, like, speed math stuff online for fun. Stay fresh. Hey, you're pretty good at typing, though. I forgot. A big part of the Palm Springs trip we never talked about is we all sat around and had our computers and we're just doing typing test. Yeah.

Who do you think... Who you can remember out of the whole crew that was there? Who is the best typeer? Kind of by a long shot. Um, since I wanted to get, I would have guessed time and I think before the, the quiz, but now I'm going to guess Kazuda. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Jewish. Those guys. I don't know. Yeah, for whatever. He just excels in what he does. So I can see him just being. Division one basketball. What was his record like 130 or something?

Yeah. Up in the, like 120, 130 and like 98% accuracy or something. I'd like to take that test. My record. of the entire... I think I could beat him. My record of the entire time we were there was 110 at 98% accuracy.

I think I was... You might have got on the podium. Second or third place. 98% accuracy as in like final result is 98% or you ever mess up. Yeah, you can... You can go back. A little cost to you know.

A little cost to... It's so fun. I want to take this room back. Yeah. Do you ever... Like, that's another thing. Like, I feel like I've been off my game typing every once in a while.

It's so frustrating. It's one thing to be like, man, I just don't play basketball as well as I used to. I understand. I'm getting old. It's like typing, I should be able to type. I should have that. Yeah. Home row.

This reminds me subtraction. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot like subtraction. I shouldn't have lost this. I should still have it. Yep. You'll get a bag. How about it?

How about a, we'll call it a six versus, let's see if Stephen Jake can sweep this six question quiz. One versus one here. Timon versus Jake. Whoever answers first. He will sweep. No, he won't. Jake,

Timon? You only have to get one. You only have to get one. It's six on, yeah. And if you get it, you get paid this month. Yeah, okay. Cookies and cream protein.

Let's go. You're going to love it. All right. It's going to be like an open mic night in your mouth. It's awful. All right. 49 minus 17.

30. Two. Timon! What? You had it. I had it? He froze. Yeah, well,

I froze too. We were both. It's like, all I do is freeze. He just froze louder. I froze loud. All right. 58 minus 18. 40.

Timing! There was a lot of time in there for him. That's a really easy one. That's what I was hoping for, man. Yeah. All right, all right. I was prepared to like do it in parts and like try to. I already had my part separated.

All right. All right. Ready? 14 minus seven minus six. One. Oh, that's a tie. Tie goes to Jake. All right.

The third one's kind of fun. 88 minus 66. 22. Yeah. I'd say he's right. 14 minus 7 minus 1. Zero. Time it!

I can't tie. What did Brett say? I don't know. I was actually intending to do the exact same question as the first one. but I got ahead of myself. So Jake,

good job, Kevin. Thanks. That's pretty fun. My heart rate is actually high right now. Like, I can feel my heart pounding from how scary that was. Really? Yeah.

Sorry. Oh, it's fine. The geography quiz and that. I have this written down to remind people or to notify people if they don't know. In about a month, the Ghostroars documentary is officially coming out. March 13th.

Shout out Nathan Coley. Actually, by the time this comes out, it's going to be less than a month. Yeah, Rickren is kind of ahead of time. Because you're going to Arizona. Yep. Taking time and Isaac with me. Yep. This comes out February 23rd. Yes, just a couple weeks. Just a couple of beast games away. Friday, March 13th. It's going to be awesome. Cool. We're going to have a premiere at everybody's house so they can all watch it together and we will watch it at another time maybe. But you guys can watch it. should do a premiere, Coli should do a premiere on his

YouTube or wherever he does it and people should comment. Yeah. Remember who he used to do that for episode very last well? Those were fun. He might be planning to do that. Coley, do whatever you want. We're not in charge you. I'm not in charge you. You wonder how that works because I think he did that like for a school project. But he's graduated now. Yeah, I think the school project was like submitted a long time ago and it was only like a 15 minute version. Right on. And he's like, I want to just do this

passion project. P squared. I hope I'm in it. I hope I look good. I hope they paint me in the right arc. I hope they don't bleep out the wrong things. We don't know how this gets edited. We don't have control. We did sign off on whatever. It was like, yeah, say whatever you want about us.

We did. What if it's just a hit piece? That would be shocking. You know what's hilarious, dude? I've told you before, like my kids love the episode, say the word on the beat podcast. Oh, yeah. And so I mentioned the other day when we were

recording in here. Isaac and Scott and Coley were all out there doing something for Friday. And so I told Catherine, how was recording? You know, whatever. And I told her, yeah, they were here. Nathan Coley was here. And Haddy just goes, oh, Pulley? Like, because that's what we call them on the. It's like, it's like out of the yoke, you know, wow. Hundreds of episodes we've done like, had he knows Nathan Coley.

Oh, Polly? Oh, Polly. Oh, Polly. The Coley system? And like, like, was like excited to hear about, like Nathan Cully was there, you know, Polly was there. So pretty fun. That's funny. I'm glad they like the episode so much. Obviously,

it's already out now, but I can't wait to see what you guys think at the Scott and Isaac episode. It's pretty fun. Yeah, that was really fun. It was great. Like, I told Catherine,

I was like, Jake and I barely talked. Rachel was like, how was it? I said two things the whole time. They were both callbacks and they crushed. And that's all I said.

Yeah, that was a loudest podcast firms ever been. It felt good about it. She said, out of context, what was the thing that was so funny? And I said, I have gay cousin.

She's like, really? That was it. Oh, yeah, that brought the house down. Just you wait. Just you wait. They're going to love it. I got to pop. Yeah.

It is always fun to have the boys in the studio. So. He's new with the boys. Scott came over yesterday. Hey, he took a little trip to Dutch brothers, as he likes to call it. Before him, he said, hey, you want anything? I was like, just give me a drip coffee.

And he gets my house. He's like, dude, they don't even have a drip coffee. What happened to this country? Seriously? I'm trying to do my part. I was about to give you a hard time for getting drip coffee at Dutchbrook, but surely they have it. They don't have...

What? There was a place in Florida. There were two places around Christmas when I went with Rachel's family, two different coffee shops in Florida. I tried to order drip coffee. They didn't have it. Really? And maybe this has been going on for a while.

I'm new to the game. No, it's not. It's their fault, not your fault. Don't ever apologize for ordering drip coffee. or just call it coffee maybe next time. Just say, can I get a black coffee? You get coffee. But even then they will have,

they got to have something, like if you order whatever. Coffee flavoring. I am flabbergasted by the idea that they don't have drip coffee. I think they had an Americano, which is like close. Yeah.

They also had cold brew, which is close. So Scott got me a toasted cold brew. How was that? Watered down because I think they put a bunch of ice in it and then they toast it. what? I don't know. I'm kind of just guessing. It's not the name. Yeah, because it's still, it comes

hot. Whoa. That's what I was joking. It's like rookie the year. Hot ice. Yeah. You heat up the cold breath. Yeah. Scott was like, dude, I don't know what this is. Some sort of magma hot, super ice, you know, frozone lookout, you know. Toasted cold brew? Toasted cold brew? That's, that's black coffee. That is just heated up cold coffee, which is black hot coffee? And now it kind of sounds like an Americano because it's like a slightly watered down version of black coffee. It's like, well, we put these ice cubes in it. Toasted. That will melt.

Cold brew. Yeah, but Americano is espresso. Yeah. Hot steamed version of their signature smooth cold brew. What in the world, dude? That is, that's so funny. Like, that is just such a extra way of saying like hot coffee. Yeah.

And I know that cold brew, cold brew is like, they call it on here smooth cold, like, like, Cold brew is supposed to be like easier to drink, less bitter, whatever. So I guess that's kind of interesting that they heat up a cold brew rather than just brewing it hot. But I'm like, anyway. I felt so bad because Scott was like, hey, I'm on the way to grab whatever. Like, I'll get you something. I was like, yeah, coffee, easy.

And then he has to text me, hey, this is all they have. So then I tell them what he want. Then he has to call me. And he's like, hey, the toast is. Yeah. I'm like, dude, I'm so sorry. I'm like, this is so annoying. I was trying to be so simple.

And on the phone, like, as they're, as you're talking. talking to him. You hear like the Dutch bro, people be like, oh, that's Jake. Jake, how's your day going? They love, like, they have to ask that to everybody. Anything fun you're doing later? What, yeah, what are you up to today? Jake, what are you up to today? Like, just get the coffee. I went to, uh, very interesting, uh, I went to, uh, chit-fley last Saturday and ordered a little breakfast and while the guy's waiting, he's like, so what do you have going on tonight? And, you know, very friendly asked me. And for something I got scared to say, I'm doing a stand-up comedy show. It's like, sometimes it's like, little this, little of that.

Yeah, it's not, is it scared? It's not scared. It just feels like it's going to cost like braggy or something like, okay. I have this stand-up comedy show tonight. Is that what it is? So yeah, I'm like, to me, I'm like, I always am like, I don't know about scared. I think I'm just not insecure, but just like, I don't think you really care. I think you're asking that and we're just going to, we can move on. Like, I'm not a whole lot, you know, just because I'm like, they want to, they want to get going. Maybe I'm wrong.

The good or bad? Good. All right.

For sure. For sure, good. Anyway, my kids learned about talking to chat GPT the other day, and they can't get enough. Really? And like, yeah. And of course, Catherine is like, not anti-AI, but how much do we need to be? She's part of the old guard, you know? Yeah.

She's still, she still, like, wants to have a volume of encyclopedias, just, in case and I'm like, why? Just in case is really funny. Yeah. Because we lose all this. And I want to know the difference in alligators and crocodiles. And I want it to be from 1982. Like, yeah, they don't even have the Southern Ocean in there. Point.

I mean, it was amazing. Like some of the things eventually they were asking, I was like, if they know the answer to that, then we should turn this off. Like, they were like, how many people, how many students are in the Lenoxa classical conversations. I can't really answer that right now. You know, whatever. I was like, yeah, you messed with the different voices.

But it loved, like, or had he loved that it knew history questions. Okay. Like, because that's the thing they just learned about. Yeah. You know, when did World War II start? You know, all these different things. That's great. Yeah.

And then, and so now whenever I see them, like, I was talking to chat GPT the other day, and I came home from a walk. And they're like, can we? talk to them? Can we? And like last night or two nights ago, they said good night. They're like, all right, Catherine's like, you need to be done. You know, tell it good night. And I was like, don't tell it. That's worth anything I did. I know. I was like, wait, wait. It's not a, it's not a person. You don't have a tell a good night. It won't care if you just press in whenever you want. Say shut up to it. I know you're, we don't normally have you say that, but go

and say shut up. I nip that real quick. I was like, we're not, we're not saying good night to this thing. We're not saying, thank you to this thing. Like, this thing works for us. and it's not a he or a she, it's a computer. Good. So, yeah. But they're flabberg. I mean, it is fun to like watch these kids like, oh my gosh, this thing knows anything I can say to it.

Yeah, it's pretty sweet. What did Bo ask it? Bo asked them dumb things that don't make any sense at all. Like, or like they would, like a computer doesn't know that because it's about our life or something. Like, how many kids do we have in our family? How many stick guns do I need? Yeah, exactly.

anyway pretty funny uh wrap this sucker up you got a review of the week or anything on your mind review of the week let me see if I can access Sydney Anderson says it's a nice email it's itchy yeah after we bash after we gave her hard time um I can't get on that email on my phone

only on my compooper um wow let's see here I don't know if we have any new ones we just recorded, uh, oh,

traffic runner 99, Broom Vroom. Did anyone try to steal Diamond's car yet? I like that one. Just a reminder. Yeah. Can we give a bounty

for somebody to steal his car? Ooh. Yeah, a thousand minus 900. You could figure it out it's yours. You got to change for a thousand? It's still,

it's still open. I mean, it's still ready to be stolen. It's still a Kia, so you can probably steal it if you try. You might go to jail, but,

uh, they catch you. Yeah. This happened. this to me all the time. I feel like I'm just doing too many podcasts, but this is a review slash comment where they're like absolutely loving something. I'm like, man, don't even remember it. So help me out. Yeah, Sam Sievert. Sorry, last night. I saw him at church. And he goes, Brad, you're ruining my fatherhood, ruining fatherhood for me. Like, what do you mean? He's like,

what you said in the podcast today? I was like, I haven't listened to today's episode yet. What I say? He's like, you haven't listened. You were, you were the one saying it. And I was like, I still don't know what you're talking about. And he said, I tickle my kid all the time and he laughs so hard, but now I'm thinking like, am I hurting my child? That's good. We need some checks. This name is L-I-N-N-N-E-A. Linnea? I hope it's Linnea. But it's okay if it's not. Long-time listener, first-time commenter. That ending from Brad had me laughing out loud on my way to work this morning. Need I say more? I will say more. Please. The thing that sent it over the edge, the microphone as a prop and Jake hunched over with his hands squeezing his headphones to hear.

That deserves to be in the best of 2026. We got to watch it back now. What was it? It was the, what do you call it? The Army cadence, right? When Brad's like, I think you were yelling and you're trying to like help me out so you're like, feed him me, responded to me. Oh, yeah. It was a long time ago.

I get that you remember. That's pretty good. Yeah, that was a fun time. I went to post our episode that went live yesterday. And so I'm going, you know, so I'll watch it through super quickly to try and figure out a title

and a few things to put in the description. And the episode started off where you threw me a bag of beans while you clapped. And I thought, man, that seems so much more recent than like last Wednesday's episode. And I'm getting going and then realizing, oh, oh boy. Oh, wow, I almost uploaded the wrong episode.

That was the one we shot this. morning. No wonder it feels recent. That's crazy. It feels like we just did that right before Isaac and Scott's episode. It's already next week's... Wow, that feels weird in my head.

But truly, I think I logged on to YouTube seconds after you had uploaded it. Because the checks were still running. Yeah. But it was at the top of the screen. It was like, oh yeah, next episode. Let's do it. That's funny.

And yeah. It's like, oh, that's funny. That feels recent. Oh, well. Wow. Glad we didn't. People have been loving... Every once in a while we released a little bit early.

Sunday sowed. Yeah, if you guys want to know what time I go to bed, it's 15 minutes right after every podcast episode comes out. Because on Spotify, you can't, so we do something, there's like dynamic ads. And I used to place them exactly where I wanted them. Well, now they, about a year ago, they introduced this thing called smart ad locations where it's like, we'll figure out the best way. Why don't you let us take care of it. It's like, okay, great. Well, you can't add smart ad locations until the episode is public.

Even if you schedule it, you still can't do smart ads. weird. So that's why it's like, well, I'm going to bed, you know, it's 10 o'clock. I know it's kind of early, but, you know, whatever. Like, I'm not going to wake up at 5 a.m. to post this. Yeah. So, yeah, for the past, I don't know, six to 12 months, episodes have been going out the night before because that's what I'm going to bed.

There's people on the West Coast that, yeah, if you do it at 5 a.m., they're like, I listen Sunday night at, you know, midnight. Uh-huh, whatever. It would be 10 p.m. their time usually, like, because we used to always post it at midnight. Yeah. Yeah. And so, yeah, those West Coasters. So every now and then, yeah, if I'm going to bed early and I'm on the West Coast, I mean, yeah, good for you.

Hey. Or if I'm going to bed early on the East Coast. West Coast people, you get a podcast at 6.30 a night on a Sunday night. Football and a little ghost runners. So, yeah, when you see that YouTube, you know, push notification, I hope you guys have, just think, Jake's getting ready for bed soon. He's about 15 minutes away from bed. Everyone comment.

Night Jake, love you. Hope you using the right toothbrush. yesterday. Actually, have you went to our guest's bathroom yet? You will see in this bathroom that there is a toothbrush thrown away in it because Rachel walked into that bathroom yesterday while I was using it.

She's like, hey, good morning. And I go, that's my toothbrush again. She's like, dang it! She gets done brushing her teeth and just stows it away right there. So we've got a new system now where I'm not going to use... This is my fault.

I've been using girly colored toothbrushes. Any woman could think that would be hers. Yeah. She's been picking up like, oh my gosh, I love mint green. Yes, of course, it's my toothbrush. Who knows how long she's been doing it. So is this a white toothbrush with a little mint green or is it like a exclusively mint green? Like the whole plastic toothbrush is just like this mint color.

That's amazing that she can get those confused. Yeah, yeah. It's one thing if it's like, oh, they're the exact same. Yeah. But it's like, no, these are completely different. For the past year, as far as I knew, yeah, she had yellow and I had green. Turns out we both have had green for most of it. But so yesterday we made the switch where I have like this bright orange and red like more nastier.

Yeah, she's like, oh, I would never accidentally choose this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got flames on it. So that's mine now. And she claims there's no way I could easily mess this up. I, how much of a reality is it that there's times where she's like, I don't know where mine is. I'm just going to play stupid and just. It's definitely possible.

Like I wonder. Sometimes I'm like, I think she knows what she's doing. And she doesn't care that much. But I don't know. But a toothbrush is not something you would expect to misplace. You and I. But there are other things where I could see, even that I know that, oh, yeah, she'll use mine. I mean.

Yeah. Phone charger. Towel? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sox, shoes, shirt, whatever.

Yeah. But that is like, hey, this is kind of excuse me. The brush has a spot. So, yeah, we've been sharing a lot last year. It's kind of nice. I didn't even know it. That's sweet. You're like, every time I get sick.

she gets sick right after me. It's like sympathy. Yeah, yeah. Two and one. That's great. All right. We'll see you all Wednesday. Thanks for supporting us in every way. I love you guys.
