Something I thought about the other day. I was driving down the road. And there was this big old, it doesn't have to be this, but it's always this. There's a big old, we'll call it F350, just big old truck, massive truck, that on the license plate, where the license plate is supposed to be, it was a John Deere license plate. No license plate to be found anywhere. Just like decor. What in, I would never have the audacity, just be like, it's fine. I don't need one back there.

I'm going to go unregulated. Why? You know what I'm talking about? You see people at this? I knew. what you're referring to. Just no plate. No plate. Not even like a like it was like oh maybe it's like back on the back windshield or something like nowhere to be found. This guy is ungoverned. This guy is like bring it on, bring it on. Like asking for. All it takes is one cop to see him and just pull

him over. Right is the benefit. What is the upside to no license plate? There's no, there's nothing. He's got stock and John Deere and you saw that and you were like, that looks so cool. Oh, that's a good point. Oh man. The sick factor is hard to quantify. That's super sick. Yeah. Yeah, I just, I would never. I wouldn't even do it for a day. I'd be scared of for a day. Yeah, I mean. Like, what's the point?

And just the, surely he gets anxious. Like, he sees a police officer and he goes, oh, crap. I don't have a license plate at all. It's like, granted, I'm in an F350, so I'm clearly white in an agriculture guide. Uh-huh. But still, they might pull me over. Kind of drawing attention in an F-350. Yeah.

I'm sorry you saw that. Thanks, man. I just thought, there's like, it's a different breed of person. I think we've talked about before. Like, the guy that pulls a trailer with a sedan is a different breed of person. Like, this guy's a different breed of person. I just, I couldn't fathom it. Yeah.

Speaking of having a big old, big old truck. Mm-hmm. We posted a video sometime last week, one of the ones you edited, Timon, where Scott is seen in our factory banging one of our, like, the frames of our paddles on the ground. Carbon, yeah. Blow molded carbon frame. time puts little music behind it our friend TJ put that on his

Instagram story he gets a response from a woman who her profile picture has her husband and her four kids in it yeah

the response says TBH I wouldn't mind running into Scott on a dark dance floor 10 years ago isn't that awesome Scott loved it, didn't he?

Oh, my God. We all did. This is unbelievable. It's hard to get this kind of direct information from a woman. I don't care what age you are. TBH. TbH. She was B&H.

I'm talking about the dark dance floor. I really enjoyed. Like, it would need to be dark. That's crazy. It would need to be 10 years ago. But boy, I would have enjoyed it. It's like your kids look like they're 15, 13, 13, 12 in the left. Yeah.

So even then, still. Yeah. also you were still married before you probably had a kid yeah but this is like yeah tj works at a country club and he's just like scott you've got the country club moms in a tizzy right now my gosh wouldn't mind running a scott on a dark dance for 10 years ago just from him banging a paddle on the ground it's like on the office whatever uh he's like really did you you not see pam or karen from behind uh that's what it's like really do you not see isaac or jake from behind how dark was this dance for Oh, oh, oh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white.

Me too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast. Happy Wednesday ghosties. Happy Wednesday ghosties. Speaking of Scott, him and Isaac are southbound right now.

They loaded up the paddles. No U-Haul, though. Oh, really? They ended up just fitting it all in Isaac's truck. That's fair. In the bed and the cabin, they got all in these moving boxes. And Isaac's got his transmission lubricated. He's fired up.

He's like, dude, I almost spent like two granders transition, $18 lube. I'm fine. Let's go. There's no way it's going to go bad. Yeah. Yeah, they broke down at Wichita right now. But the first three hours were smooth. That's fun.

They're going south. I should check their location, see where they are compared. Because my kids and my wife. They're all going south right now. I didn't know that. Yeah, dude. Catherine was gone. For four days.

She came home for four days, and then she's gone for like another week. What's the point of Kansas? I couldn't remember. Why did she leave? I was trying to remember this. Singer songwriter competition. That's,

that's why I couldn't remember. Yeah, I don't know why it's so hard for you to believe. Performing at the Honky Tongs. One of her best friends lives in Nashville and she surprised for her birthday. Okay. So it was a great time.

And I think it was really good for her to get away. I'm glad you got to do that. Yeah. That's great. And now they're just going down and just hang with Honey and Pop. Yeah, honey pops It's like they're celebrating all the March birthdays We got a bunch of

And part of me is like They're going to be down there for a week And so I'm like I can't I can't be gone Like I told Cathar's like yeah I might come It's my kid's birthday And it's like yeah but we're gonna be there for like Seven and a half days

Someone's got to kick down the door Yeah I need I have my door kicker here I've got my concrete guy My door kicker I don't know if I can be gone right now But she's like I don't But part of me is like

Do I just fly down there like Saturday and come back Sunday? Easy flight. Just a quick. It is an easy flight. It is nice, though. It's cheap. Where? Wait.

They're in Glenpool, Oklahoma. Catherine, ever heard of that? Glenpool. Feels off the beaten half. Oh, no. Wait, who's this? Oh, that's somebody else. Wait, where's I?

Wait. Sorry. They're the same car. I was talking out loud now. Oh, Scott and Isaac are a little bit ahead of them. Looks like a little bit farther south. But they look like they're on the same highway. Wow, that's fun, guys.

Yeah. Should a car pulled. Anyway. Caravan. You're not going, obviously. No, got the Ghostrunners documentary premiere tomorrow night. By the time we're listening this, it was days ago. It's a great time.

Yeah, I want to stick around for that. Not too often. Someone makes a documentary about you. This is your first? This is my first. Oh, okay. When you have a singer-songwriter, why, you get a lot of them. Yeah.

I want to know, time in real quick in your phone. Look up the distance from... We'll call it Mounds, Oklahoma, my name. To Almond Joy, Oklahoma. Oak Mulgy, Oklahoma. Because maybe they're not that far apart now that I'm looking at it. I don't know. It's hard to tell. Maybe.

I'm having trouble finding out. We're not that different after all. 25 minutes. Okay. Not bad. Looks like maybe they're stopped in Oak Moldgy, though. They stop for lunch. Then Parasite gets hold of Isaac.

All of a sudden, they're on the same strip. Same stretch. I'm going to take a picture and send it to Catherine, at least. screenshot. Speed up. Catherine sent me a picture. They stopped at some little house in the prairie thing or whatever. You gotta.

Literally, she said, we gotta. You gotta. I don't blame her. That's fun. Isaac and Scott are just south of you. Just a few mounds ahead of you. Speed up. Anyway.

I'm not to sneeze. Want me to sneeze? Nope. Oh, it's there, though. Brad, do it. Oh, it's so there. It's unbelievably there. Oh, here it comes. Dude. You know what I've never understood while you figure this out? There is some personality trait out there when someone goes, I'm about to sneeze. And they interject into that. Some people don't want it to happen. They'll yell stuff at you like, watermelon, watermelon, watermelon. Yeah. And somebody were like, look at a lie. Look a lie.

What is that personality trait where you just like get involved in my- Why are you getting involved in my sneeze? Some people will hate it. Some people will love it. They spas. Wait, are talking about? Are those things to prevent the thing in high school?

I think looking at the light is supposed to help you sneeze. And sometimes people, I forget what the word is. I haven't really encountered this in a while. Is it cucumber? It may be, yeah, they yell like a food at you. What? And they're like to get you to like stop or like get your mind off to sneeze.

I think, this is my sneeze. You're not just, it feels good to sneeze actually. Yeah, don't stop it. And even if you want it to happen, you're spazzing on me right now. Look a lie. Look a lie.

Look a lie. Geez, get a hold of yourself. You're an adult. Just let me do it if I can do it. If I can't, don't worry about it. That's why I was like, yeah, I hope it happens. Go ahead, I'm going to let you figure this out. Yeah, you're an adult, you have it.

This isn't my sneeze. It went away, but that was a wild itch. Maybe I would have like some coaching. I don't know. Anyway, yeah, what's been going on elsewhere for you besides tornadoes? Natoes. You know, oftentimes when Rachel and I have dinner.

It's like, you know, maybe Rachel gets home. We talk about our days for a long time. And then it's like dinner is a little like put on a quick show. A lot of times it's just like Seinfeld. Looks like a 20 minute while we're eating and then get on with the rest of our night. So I'm going to meet their night. The front of Netflix is like dinosaurs with Morgan Freeman. Okay.

Morgan Freeman. Didn't even read. He is a dinosaur. Didn't read anything about the description. Just clicked on it. I did have a. funny idea. I was like if we did a lot of comedy sketches now, I think it would be

funny. One of us played the character like, dude, this is AI. When it's like clear, I mean, the whole thing is like recreating what the dinosaurs would look like. And the guy's like, dude, I'm getting good at this. Like I, I can tell. I know. This is AI slop, dude. It's all gosh. It's not even, not even

somewhat real. Really? You think? Anyway, um, so we just watched about 15 minutes of this like, it's kind of like a planet earth or a BBC. You know, it's like a Nat Geo. Okay. On what might have happened. They start talking about something.

I wrote it down, the Carnian pluvial event. Any idea what this is? Carnian. So carnivorous. Yeah, I was going to say there's meat involved. Yeah. So that's the, what was the second word? Pluvial.

Pluv I-A-L. P-L-U-V-I-A-L. Louvial, I think is French. Art Museum. Alluvial? Is it water? I think alluvial is water. Wow.

Pluvial. Pluvial. Like purple water. Yeah. So it's purple water that came down to all the people that were meat eaters. The meat eaters? Yeah. Take out the carnivore.

It was rain. Purple rain. Purple rain. Oh, it's Prince. This is the dinosaur formerly knows it's Prince. Got it. Got it. You guys should go to improv.

That's great. I didn't know. Alluvial. Great job. So this is when it's going back and it's saying like, this is a time. where it rained for between one and two million years. I feel like I heard about this. Yeah, right.

That's kind of what I did. I thought in my head. I was like, I've never really gotten super into the old earth versus new earth debate. I just like, it's interesting, but it doesn't affect my salvation.

I've never put too much thought into it. Yeah. But then when they go, it rained for a million years, I'm just like, no, it didn't. There's something in my head that I'm like, people only been around for, what,

thousand-ish years, I can't process anything longer than that. You're saying, oh, this isn't seven thousand years. This is like, it's hundreds of thousands. It's actually a million. It's a million years. Yeah. Just rain? Mm-hmm. Straight. Palluvial. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. And I guess this is the evidence for how Pangaea got, how we got rid of Pangae. It's like all those water to go somewhere. it shifted the continents apart. But boy, it just feels like a long time. Yeah. And I know God is outside.

It was a long time, Jake. It's a million years. God is outside of like our realm of time. Yeah. He's not bored? Yeah. He's like, you know. He's not watching this being like, geez, change the channel.

Miss baseball. When are we going to get to NFL Red So Red Soons? Red zones out for a while. This is one of my best creations. I know. Fantasy football. Just wait. But it is.

But even aside from the, you know, they're like, there's those fun facts. It's like, this dinosaur and this dinosaur lives further apart than we did and when the sun will burn out, or whatever. Just like, this dinosaur is 250 million years ago. T. Rex's only 90 million years. Yeah. God's not, like, yearning for people at any point.

And I know, I know it's not really how he works, but it's hard to comprehend. He's just like, let's do dinosaurs for a good chunk of the entire Earth's existence. And then people, my greatest creation, they could be there just for us. Sounds like you're forming an opinion, Jake. It is hard for my, like,

you're ready to debate. My, like, finite brain to, like, comprehend it. Yeah. I don't really care one way or another. But it's hard to comprehend it. Everything else about God, I can comprehend. Pretty darn well. So, like...

But the dinosaurs would trip me up, but... The time. It's the dinosaurs get 99.9.9% of Earth, and then the humans get just this little sliver. Yeah. It's interesting. That is kind of what I come back to, too. Because, like, I feel like I've realized more recently.

He's like, oh, way more people than I would have thought as a kid, like, Christians, like, believe in the old earth or whatever. And I'm like, interesting. I just, I don't know. But I don't, I wish I knew more about it to, like, actually have good talking. You don't really have evidence again. It's like everything we have to study things like, you know, bone or wood or trees. It's rock, especially soil. Like, it shows that the earth is crazy, crazy old.

So I guess that's your proof. But it's like, yeah, but my brain. What have he just made it old? Yeah. Like, there's some red flags going up about it. Yeah. Because of the Bible. Yeah.

Hey, you choose to believe whatever you want to choose, man. It's your truth. You heard that? You say Big Bang, I say Big God. That's our Joe White, famous quote. In that tone. Which a lot of people would say you can't have both. He would say, no way.

Say there is only one. Big Bang, I say Big God. I think Gathers are actually going to try to catch up to him. There's no way. 25 miles is too much. Isaac drives slow. Does he? Well, Scott said that as like big speed limit guy, huh?

When he's going like four over the way back from St. Louis. Honestly, I guess. Catherine is kind of a fast driver, so maybe. I took express lane here. Oh, let's talk about it. I got up to like 90. I was like, whoa, there's nobody. Bring it on.

Who's here to care? Yeah, who's here to care? That's something that F350 says. Who's here to care? I'm the biggest truck. I see no care. No one's given a care. Yeah.

Every time I've been on it, I'm the only car on it, though. It's a good private lane. There was someone behind me at first. At first. You had to go night. Then they weren't. Left them in the dust. Yeah.

And I was going more like 75 on, like usually. But I got up, I was like, I feel like I can go kind of fast. Yeah, I don't know what the rules are, but it feels like it's kind of price. It's like, hey, I paid 40 cents. I paid good money to be here. I'm going to drive 85. How did you feel like, were you self-conscious? I felt great.

I don't know. I was just, yeah, I don't think I was self-conscious. no one cared. I had to cross the double white lines this past week. I know they really don't want you to do that. I thought. How'd you do it?

I forgot what one of the major exits. How did you manage to get through it? You ever seen those videos? Maybe I even mentioned this last week, but there's like an ant on a white piece of paper and they draw like in pen and the ant can't get out of the circle. It's kind of how I feel with the white double lines.

It's like no matter what, physics, inertia, it won't let me happen. I've seen memes that like compare that video of the ant to like a stoplight. It's like, what are we doing? Yeah. We really think we can't go. I saw, it doesn't matter.

Let's go back to the express lane, sure. But yeah, fun. Yeah? Yeah. What kind of terrible, well, I don't know about terrible person. This is what I feel sometimes is like, you know, it would be funny and like really bad is if you just got an express lane and just go 50 miles more. This is nice. You know, just.

All right. Like, so, because no one's going to go. You're waving them around. Go around if you have. You're up to. Geez. Come on. It's not.

Just listen to some nice, nobody's here to care. It's not some sort of, I'm not in the lane for speedsters. I hear you. I hear you. Thank you. I'll be there when I'm there.

I just have 15 people behind. Because like right now there's no laws. Go 50 miles an hour super slow during rush hour. There's no minimum. And all these people. that paid good money to be there waving them on around you go around go around use the shoulder if you have to yeah happy for you though happy you took it thank you yeah I might keep it up it's good for like a lot of the places I go I end up like exiting 435 like it

doesn't work but that's when I'm coming here is great oh I was like 435 that's a major exit right they'll give me an express a exit they did not no no this is a 69 like you are you are committed to 69 yeah yeah you got to be committed for like five miles basically. Okay. Yeah. Wow. Oh, that's fun. Congrats. It was fun. Thank you. I do feel like I've kind of leveled up. I was wondering why you were here on time today. It's because you expressed. Express your way up here. Good job. Thanks. I was thinking about how you got here on time and I was going to be on time and I had somebody call me. Doesn't matter about how stuff. And I was eating lunch and he's like, oh, I notice you're

eating lunch right now. Is it an okay time to talk? I was like, yeah, it's fine. Like, He's like, are you sure? Like, he heard you chewing? I think so. Maybe, like, the way I was talking, like, was like, I had food in my mouth. I don't know, whatever. Am I, like, completely rude to just be like, yeah, let's talk while I eat? You know, I was on a time schedule.

Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, it was like, oh, I got to eat right now. And it was cereal. I couldn't just like, you know, I'll come back to it, you know. I'm going to put in the fridge. Yeah. I think it's fine. You got to be like, hey, I'm eating.

So you do a lot of the talking. I'm here, though. I'm here. Yeah. Like, he like, he, I couldn't tell if it was like, for his sake or for my sake that he wanted to like talk it. Oh, do you not want to do this while I'm eating? I don't care. But like, maybe you're going to hate the way I sound when I'm eating and talking to you. I don't know. It was a pretty, like, informal. Like, this guy's like a blue call. It was just a normal casual conversation about something. Like, it wasn't like, hey, we need to talk strategy about this. It's like, I'm just giving you a quick update on this radon test I had to do for you. Nice. Everything good. Up to snuff. Up to snuff.

It's funny how our lives have changed. changed probably in the past, you know, year. Like, you are largely having phone calls with, like, probably blue collar workers. That's, like, your association. And mine are, like, me, Scott and Isaac are, like, talking to Asians. Yeah, you were talking earlier about, like, yeah, we should probably have that, like, completely in Malay. I was like, what the...

What heck? What's happening here? Not my Iron Man. He wouldn't do that. Let me Stark would never. P.O.W. over there, maybe. Yeah, it is. It's like the things that we've learned this year that we didn't know before,

we're probably very, like, there's no Venn diagram. You know, it's not like... Like, we're both dealing in materials, but just very different materials now. Like, uh, like some of the acronyms you know versus the acronyms I know. Peebicor. Yeah. What was the polypropyl indepidium? What was the, what was those?

Yeah, we had EPP, EVA. Yeah. Yeah, I'm soaping growth as an eye's tape. Yeah, I'm like familiar with all different types of foam and different densities of foam and different carbon fiber layups. Layups. You go CFC, you want carbon fiber, fiberglass, and then carbon fiber. That is going to up the, it's going to lower the deflection.

Okay. Deflection's good or bad? You want a higher deflection to pass the UPA's ABI test. Oh, really? The acronyms. Yeah, I know. I don't even realize I haven't. And you just like got it.

Like, everyone understands this, right? The UPA's, yeah. Yeah. What do you call it? DBI test? The UPA's ABI test. ABI, which stands for anti-breaking inspection. You're doing pretty good, but between the pluvials and the breaking, accelerated break-in.

Oh, okay. Fun. Yeah. I played a pickleball the other day with some guys from church, dominated them. Jealous. Sorry, same severs. They learn, don't speed up a big daddy. From my backhand punch, that deep-and-punch?

It was like, these guys were athletic, but. But they did not play very much pickleball in the past because, man, they had a hard time letting that ball bounce the second. People, yeah. And I kept like, I'd be like, scoot back. Like, one of the guys who were playing is played D1 baseball. So he's like an athlete. Okay, great. And I was like, you got to scoot back.

You got to, and he would like, he'd just be in the middle. And I'm like, I'm just going to hit at your feet every time. Return. Yeah, yeah. Until you figure it out. Or like, you know, I was playing with my friend Kyle. He's like, my partner. And he makes a pretty good, like, scoop.

I was like, you know what would make that shot a lot easier, dude? And it's like the 18th time I've told him. It was like, if you just stood back, like I said. You don't have to short hop everything. Like it was a good shot. That was impressive that you did that. But you could also do that a lot easier if you just stood a few steps back. I wonder if we could make that a video because I think that's really about.

I found that. I feel like when I was teaching the buffinis. I could not. I mean, I'm using do not step in front of this line. Yeah. Still don't work. Just wait. Do you remember Eli back in the day?

Eli McDonald's Isaac's brother. I was thinking about this recently. Eli's great. I think you got a teacher degree or whatever. Like, he's, he's just so sweet. Like, we were all learning how to play pickleball. But, I mean, we'd all learn for a month or so now. Like, we were all very...

We got the rules. We're ready to take it to the next level. I think maybe somebody was there that was new. Maybe it was Harrison back the day. But he, what do he would say? I just always tell myself, like, he's like very, like, serious kind of thing. I do. I have this thing I say, if it's back, let it bounce.

Was that what it was? Or like, if you're back, let it bounce. Like, does it rhyme at all? That's it? If your bag, let it bounce. That's how I remember it. I got it. Oh, wow, that's a beautiful pneumonic device.

But you know what's hilarious is I think about him all the time. I know. Do I tell all these people that have a hard time with this? I don't think it's really going to help them. It doesn't feel life-changing or, yeah, crazy to me. But yeah, I thought about that too. It's back. Let it bounce.

So, yeah, so good. Eli, Eli. Eli. Eli. Eli. Where did you guys play at? BDA. Great spot.

Do you have a paddle stack or is it empty? No. By the end of it, there were some people, there was one guy. This is so funny. This is something my dad does

sometimes too. This older guy definitely was doing the thing where he like was having a conversation with you, but trying to have it loud enough so that he was passive aggressively saying something

to somebody else. So he's like, yeah, I don't know. I'm sure we'll get on pretty soon. This court way over here has been playing forever though.

You know, one of those. Not about us. about like, oh, wasn't. I mean, but could have been about us. I think the other people just looked more guilty than we did. Honestly, they were just, no, they were just Gen Z. And we were like a little bit older.

Honestly, it was just like these kids weren't really like dressed in athletic clothes. And so there was like six of them over there. And two of them were just watching. Like, they were just having a good time. Yeah. But I'm like, dude, chill. Like, anyway. No, no, it's still nice to be out here.

It's just the music. Sometimes the music throws me off. Yeah. I just, I don't, I don't really like the music's pretty distracting. it's everyone can hear it. But it says sunny, it's nice to be out here though. My dad, every once in a while, like at the KU game, we're in a section that people don't have to stand up the whole time.

But there's just people that have season tickets are like four rows down from us that kind of, they're probably in their 30, mid-30s, but they sometimes seem like they still want to be students. And so they do stand up a lot. If one person, if one row stands up, then everyone like Domino's. And so my dad, you know, gets first. frustrated sometimes. And so he'll either say like, I didn't really see that play. I couldn't. People were standing up in front of me. Or he'll be like, it'll be like, don't worry, Brad. They'll

sit down pretty soon, I bet. On one hand, I'm like, I got to appreciate it. Because you know, do you think you'll grow into that personality trait? You think so? Well, maybe. I think I might just, I might grow into it a little bit more directly and just be like, hey, do you guys mind sitting down? I might say that. Less passive, aggressive, more just. or just assertive, aggressive, whatever you would call it? Yeah. Hey, do you guys mind sitting down? It's hard for us to see.

We all have to stay, like 30 rows of people have to stand up. Kind of a domino effect. I understand. You know, but then sometimes it's really exciting. You do stand up. So it's like, okay. Anyway, don't worry, Brad. They'll sit down soon enough.

Don't worry, Brad. They look not strong enough to really keep this up very much longer. Their legs will get tired. Yeah, we'll probably play us really soon with these people. So that was fun. It was a good time. and got the i've been using i mean you know me friday loyalist but i have i have that pink one which i'm not like a oh i'm a pink i'm a guy that plays with pink stuff yeah i don't care i've

never been like you know buck the trend i'm going to be a pink guy uh but i play with it in gulf shores and i always use it from now it's the originals are very like they're fine good paddle yeah yeah in fact yeah the same technology in there Like, one of the best players in the world has, like, used a paddle very similar to that. But it's like, you know, you paint them pink and charge $50. And it's like, I mean, I'll use it for a little bit and they'll upgrade. It's like, in reality, it's like, no, this is a very good paddle. Yeah.

It's not going to hold you back. It does just fine. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's solid palettes. Scott won a five-o tournament with that pink paddle. See? It can be done. See, Scott's the kind of guy that's like, I'm wearing pink on purpose.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. People love burgundy. Yeah. Yeah, people are like, what's the hate on burgundy? And maybe it's the vocal minority kind of thing. but yeah, we gave us got a hard time for the Burgundy shoes last week, and people are like, I have Burgundy shoes, I like Burgundy, we need to do Burgundy.

This is great. I can't even imagine a Burgundy shoe. See, somebody posted their own clouds. I think it was Leslie. Montandon, the Montendon's been around for two million years. I didn't hate them, but they were like, they were like maroonish burgundy with white or gray or something, like a nice second color. White's doing some heavy lifting. Yeah.

I didn't hate them. But then again, I would look bad at them. You know what I mean? I'm not, I can't pull off Burgundy. When I was in high school, Stratford Indians, yeah, we were maroon and white. Yeah. Not anymore.

You guys changed colors? Oh, sorry, I can't, I can't wear that anymore. I feel like. Yeah, it's not good for your skin color. Thanks. You know, your skin tone. Yeah, it's my, uh, it's not skin color. My, my colors.

I got my colors done. Burgundy wasn't in there. Talk about something that you just have to be crazy rich to do. I don't have anything else to do with my money. I'm going to pay somebody to tell me what colors will look good on me. Yeah, it's like I already played the lottery. I already went to the slot machines. I burned some in the back.

I still have a pile left over. I'll get my colors down. I'm bored. I just want to, yeah, do this now. Like, what? How hard is it to figure out what colors look good on you? Use Claude. Are you a cloud guy now?

Matt is a big Claude guy now. Does he really? I have. I have made the transfer. I'm using more Gemini. Okay. And I think next step, I'll grow into Claude. Claude feels like the big boys game.

Oh, really? It feels like varsity to me. Yeah. I don't know if I'm ready for varsity. TJ was telling me about this AI that makes, like generates apps, which I know Claude does too. Oh, base 44? Yes. Yeah.

You messed with it? Yeah, a little bit. He's really into it. Really? Yeah. Yeah, he's like a big believer of it. I think it's really cool. I don't really have an app I need to develop, but I was like, yeah, I'll poke around for a little bit.

Huh. That looks interesting. Sick. All right, move on. I had an experience the other day. I've been relying hard on chat GBT about different things. It's been pretty good. I think it's more like, whatever you would call it, generic knowledge than it is like specific.

I see. So there was issues with this flip house. I did heated floors in the bathroom. Pretty dumb. For you. But it was having an issue. It was blinking at what the thermostat wasn't working. And I was asking chat, GBT, all these questions gave it.

The pictures told the exact. you know, this is the exact one I'm using, thinking it would figure it out. And I spent, it was too confident. It was like, oh, that this is the issue. Got it. Thanks for clarifying that, Brad. Now I know what to do. You're on the right track for asking this. I can tell you're dedicated to your projects, but also careful to not make any mistakes. I just stop with the. So I'm going up and down the stairs, turn off breakers, resetting things, all these different stuff. And finally, I'm kind of out of loss. I'm like, I don't know what to do. And so then I Google it. don't ever underestimate good old Google.

Don't sleep on Goog. It was just, it was a Google search, and it just found, maybe it might have been Jim and I. I don't think it was, it was either Google or just, or Jim and I are just straight up Google, but somehow it was like, actually, I think you don't need those two wires plugged in. So I should cut those wires off. Just sniped them. Easy peasy. It worked right away.

Goog. So. Big Goog. But you're Gemini. Yeah, been doing it more. I just like the types of answers it gave me. Even the white tent incident. I did the exact same copying both, and I like Jim and I better.

It's way better for photos. I got scheme and a dreaming the other day about like a Friday pickleball building. I don't think it would be a business. It's not like we are renting out courts. We have a restaurant, but a base camp. Like an HQ almost of like there is one court, an indoor court with, you know, permanent cameras there. And that is where we film all of our content.

But it's also got almost a lab. It's got all these. this equipment for us to test paddles for you know if Isaac can tinker around in there it's also got some shelving space okay it's also got like some offices it's got a podcast studio and then it does have like a kind of a front facing you know

aspect of the building if we want to do anything to the public whatever and jimini did an unbelievable job creating all this just like taking a few ideas yeah it gave me like top down view a picture of every room I mean it did and i put the same exact thing in chadipti and jim and i did a much better job okay how how do you transfer your information over. Or do you just say, we're starting over again? I don't know. You know, I've

seen Spotify and Apple Music have been doing that with each other. Like, take your playlist with you. Like, are you worried about that? That's the thing I'm like, ah, they know a lot about this. It's like the next house I get. Yeah. Yeah. Start over. Yeah. I was a little worried about that, but I don't know if I have anything like that deeply ingrained that I couldn't reteach it pretty quickly. Fair. Yeah, you're right. I just have like so many like dimensions and like color schemes and stuff like that. It's like, okay. Yeah, so far, very impressed.

The little gym. Jimbo. Love it. I'm going to slam this down and then I'm going to start the pod. Because it's loud and fun. Hey, we got a new advertiser

segment for you. It's like what I wanted to say. A new advertiser segment. It's based your rosars. A new advertiser segment. Start over, start up. Start over. Hey, we got a new segment.

That is loud. Hey, it's time to talk about Main Street Roasters. I don't know, man. Every time I just think about it, I just smile, dude. Hey. Listen, dude, I just smile and love them.

Yeah, how do you drink it, Jake? Black? I drink it black, which is a little bit of cream and a little bit of Splenda. Okay. Straight black. Are you one pack, like Splenda in a packet, or do you have a little like pourer?

I just recently bought Splenda Creamer. I thought, hey, we landed on the moon. Maybe we can combine creamer and sweetener. Turns out they can. We're talking powdered creamer or liquid? Powdered creamer I'm a little bit spooked by. Yeah. Like dairy and powder?

Nice try. Yeah. Okay, dinosaurs. Yeah, right. Something's up. Yeah, right. But no, liquid form is good to me, just like Main Street Roasters is. Yes.

And you only have to pay 90%. Yeah, I don't care how you like your coffee. As long as you like it, Main Street Roaster's way. That's the only way I want. Main Street Roasted is how I take it. Main Street Roaster's, exactly. Mm-hmm. Main Street Roasted?

Mm-mm. Bo, bo, ba. Bob. Boom. Ba. Big old bag of beans. Hey. Big bag means.

I believe I had a, I think it's five-pound bag. It's a large bag. And I ran through that thing. Just like coffee ran through me this morning. Good. From Main Street Roasters.com. So, GRKC, 10% off.

It's the best coffee you could ever imagine. Go get it. Come on. Just do it. Do it now. Okay? Guys? Should we do our smores?

Yeah. Timon says yes. Yes, we should do our smores. All the way back. Who won smores last time, Tyman? Who did the voting last week? No. What was our...

Does anyone remember what our last one was? No idea. I bet it was with somebody else. I think we did one with somebody else recently? I don't know. It's been a while. How about that? Yeah.

I'm glad that you brought it back, Jake. Good idea. So back. I don't have a very extensive list, but I think I have enough to make three here. Only three, huh? Hmm. It's been a while. Wow.

You're right. Okay, so these are the schmores of TV shows we've never seen. Yep. The best TV shows. That we've never seen. Like the TV shows you love. Yes. That you haven't seen.

Like the best ones ever. Yeah. And... Like your personal favorites of the ones you haven't seen. And we are... How strict are we with we've never seen it? I've got a couple on my list where I'm like, yeah, I saw a few episodes, but I... Oh, really?

Yeah. Okay. Okay. I don't know. Opened for debate. How, what did you think, Tyler? I think the voters are going to decide. I don't like that.

I'm not going to vote for this guy. That's what I'm thinking. We all shy away from those then. I'm going to, no, no, you do whatever you want. Or the voters might like that. I'm doing, I'm doing shows I've never seen a episode of. Never, never laid eyes on. Never heard of.

Maybe I've seen a clip on TikTok back in the day. And then you look at the comments. say, what movie is this? What show is this? And people like to joke about it from there. Got it. But, okay, let's start with Jake. And then let's go to me and then let's go to timing. Because I always go last, okay. Right. Okay. I think a good 1-1, haven't seen an ounce of it. Haven't seen a, sorry, I'm talking to a lot of Asians now. Haven't seen a milligram of it. Good. Something more. Haven't seen a grain of rice of this thing. Exactly. Yeah. But an easy 1-1 for me, one of the greatest shows I've never seen, Game of Thrones.

Good answer, dude. Great show. It's on my list. Number one. You've got, you know. Winter was coming the whole time. You've got winter. The guy's got his scepter.

And you've obviously got the king. And then there's the whole uproar and the uprising. And then the second king. There's the Doth Rockies. Yeah. And that, you got a good look at that queen. Well, no, you have an accountability partner. Yeah.

Season four, I did. Season four, you did. Yeah. Season four episode 16? Yeah. get the, what's it called, Angel, Angel Vid out. And it's crazy that the guy that Miles Finch is in that movie.

Yeah, because I think he was doing something else at the same time. I guess he just double-booked. Remember Miles? Yeah, he's like, let's get him in here. So, yeah, just one of the most memorable shows I've ever not seen. It just had a little bit of everything. You know, it did have the romance. It had the action, the violence.

It had a good story to it, you know, and creatures of all, it had dwarfs and had giants. black and had white. What house are you? House of... A chameleon. Camillion. I did...

Yeah, that was kind of... Tyron? Tyrion? Tymon? I think I was Odin. Odin? Odin? Great Odin's raiden.

Raven? Yeah. And what battle scene? What battle scene was like... Oh my gosh. It's hard to count. The... In the Muckdae trench?

Yeah? When they're like... It's like we got eagles. Like, eagles with armor. on coming from one side. That was wild how they retrofitted the Eagles armor to them to make sure they could still fly because a few of the Eagles flew and the

fell right down. It's like the buildup where it goes with like the technology of the armor, like how it stays light on the Eagles. And then the speech, hey, let's go get up. Going down the hill. I still quote that. With their flails.

All the goblins got their bone arrows ready. I didn't like the they never showed the goblins like learning how to use the bone arrow. We just have to assume they were like doing that. Yeah. Well, Yoda taught them. Yeah. Right?

Legalist. How are you holding the arrow? What do you mean? This is, oh. Man, I wish I had seen it. It was so good. I got to check that out. I got to watch out for the first time.

Yeah. It's going to be awesome when we see it, I bet. Game of Thrones. All right. Dang, that was my first one as well. My first one is going to be an excuse me, if I start talking a little bit crazy here, it's peeky blinders.

I should have that one on my list. Yeah. It just makes you all talk like this and go live in the wild west of the British Times in it. Yeah. I think so. Are you saying so? Yeah.

Is that the one where it's like made fun of where you can't really understand what you're saying the whole time? Oh yeah, you need to subtitles for sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure.

McDar Trench. McDard Trench. Yeah, they watch Game of Thrones in there, don't they? Through their blinders. Why are they calling peeky blinders? I can't remember. It's like, you're not supposed to be able to see? I'm going to do a little peek.

There's a little picky. Peeky, peeky on the blinders. Hey, boys? So I like that one. It's a little bit violent for the kiddos. Quite good. Quite good. It was crazy with the fighting scene on that with the two.

One guy had two daggers. One guy had a big old musket. it. The dagger, boy, won. That might sound like four is gone. You do. He must have had about 14 Dr. Pepper. Yeah.

When he won, he had $40. And one, in it? Yeah, good show. I forgot about that one. But that's one of my favorites. That I've seen. This is the first one I thought of, maybe the best,

like, out of all the ones I haven't seen, maybe the best. And my, yeah, Breaking Bad. Oh, wow. Yeah. I never seen a single episode. I feel like it's referenced. I like, I can pick up when it's being referenced.

Just don't get it. What do you, what do you know about it? Give me a, give me a quote that you know. Mr. White. Yeah. That's good. Isn't Brian Cranston is Walter White? Yes.

Okay. And there's a guy named Jesse Pinkman. That's not the actor. That's the actual character. Yes. Okay. Actor is Aaron Paul. cool

but yeah that's I I feel like I've seen here's what I know about it like obviously I love it it's like I yeah but there's you're your favorites

it's like there's one episode called the fly the fly oh yeah it's kind of infamous it's the best one yeah it's the best one yeah what does ATM machine

mean to you a little redundant weighted I don't know anything nothing that has to do with my favorite show I haven't seen what does the bathtub

mean to you no clue what is a turtle mean to you. Nothing. Remember that? Yeah. Those are some pretty memorable.

Chili powder. Chili pee. Because of that Scott video, it's the only connection. Have any chili pee in it? Yeah. That's a good answer, timing. Thank you.

And second one is severance. Oh. Good show. A little newer, but like, I feel like... Out of all the... I feel like it's one of the bigger recent ones. people,

a lot of people told me to watch it. And so I didn't. And I loved it. That's good. Yeah. When that many people tell you, you watch something, you really need to not watch it.

Yeah. Well, because how else is going to stay in my top? Right. The ones I haven't seen. Yeah. How else are people going to find you interesting when you say,

I haven't ever seen some. Exactly. What? What? You're the only one I know that hasn't seen that. Yeah. That's good. All right.

My next one. First it was peekie blindness. Now it was this one. Yeah. The sopranos. It's the first one I wrote down. Yeah? Yeah.

It makes you want to be Italian quick, doesn't it? It does. Spaghetti. Yep. You ever seen it, timing? There's one I know nothing about it. So it's like a darker, it's like a darker twist on sound of music. Okay, gotcha.

It's about singing. Yeah. Okay. So Maria kind of starts, yeah. Deep voice. Leaves the convent. Who knew that she also was a trained spy. Interesting.

And so. Rolf has all grown up. So what you're telling me is You're out of the family I don't know Good, good show though Great show Really good show

Ending was rough Right Tell me a lot about How the Mafia works Yes, well it's called the Mob We call the Mob Oh yeah I think I learned a lot

About Parmesan cheese Or in me There's that whole episode dedicated to how like The Mobsters Yeah Like have their Parmesan Grated

That was interesting Who knew that Yeah, craft was in on it The Old Time Yeah, under the table That's what they're talking about. Yeah. Have you seen the trivia?

Like, I think it was just going to be called the mob. But then they had that whole choir episode that was like, way better than they thought it was going to be. This is, we got to make something. It has to like, this is like what it leads up to. Yeah.

It's like when they become sopranos together. It's beautiful. Yeah. It is funny that they like cast so many like heavy set Italian guys, but they made sure they were really high pitch singers. Yeah. Works for Hollywood, I guess. It does.

And the choreography is just unbelievable. possible. Only HBO can pull it off. People are going to hit me for this. The choir episode isn't my favorite. Really? Like, I don't know. That's almost too on the nose.

Because they wait for season three to even bring the choir. Right. And it's like, I feel like the earlier seasons are. You're waiting. You're like, why do they call it the sopranos? It's the best. Yeah, you've waited until season three.

Yeah. So good. So good pick. Yeah, thank you. Good pick. I'm going to go with a show that I, I'm scared of. I know very little about what it's about,

but it's one of my favorites. and I'm pretty sure it's not a movie. I think this is a show. Oh, man. Madman. Madman is a TV show. Is it? Okay, I didn't look into it because I've never seen it.

Yes. But I love that one. Really? Yeah. What do you love about it? That just that is a TV show. Where to begin? I liked that it was episodic in nature.

I would go from episode one to episode two. It was a, yeah, chronological show. Next thing, you know, I've got the TV on the next night. I'm watching episode three. Right. I stay up late. I watch episode four. It was just easy for me to follow.

You binge five and six. Yeah. Like I knew exactly which episode is coming next and it's for me. Right. Right to get specific. That's one thing I liked about that show. Favorite, favorite, um, favorite gender of character? I liked the, the guy who played the lead male.

Did you? Yeah. And I liked that, I liked the streaming platform it was on. Mm-hmm. Good. Did you like that it was originally, uh, AMC, I believe? Wasn't. Yeah.

Like Breaking Bad. It was, yeah. Yeah, they were on a run. for a second there. Good for them. Yeah, I know so little about this, but I've heard people say very good things. That's a great example of a show that I watched four episodes of thinking, when's it get good? Man, people love it. I'll say this. And this is obviously not real life, but they made smoking look so cool. Like it's like, it takes place in the, whatever, 50s, 60s. I don't know when it is, something like that. And they're just smoking in every scene. Chimneys. And I'm sure it's

smells terrible in that scene, but it looks like they're having a blast in like this dimly lit, like booth of a restaurant just talking. It's advertising. Cool on screen. Yeah, what the heck. Gosh. So it's not, guys, so don't do it. Yeah, that's one those shows. I was like, is there a twist eventually? And I don't think there ever is. I think it's just mad the whole time. It's supposed to just be that good of a show about people advertising for things. And I'm like, I don't, I don't know if it is. So about advertising. Yeah, the guy's like a... I think. Once again,

I've never once heard of Madman. Oh, really? So, I've heard of it being revered as like one of the best shows. Aesthetic. It's like a cool... It's like a cool, like they're cool, like, like corporate, like, not Wall Street guys, but just like business guys and drinking, you know, at 10 a.m. with their cigarettes talking in their office.

You know what I get confused with something I also have seen is Mad Max. That's the movie. That's the movie. and it's very different. Yes, Timon, that seems like something that you would like. I want to watch it. I hear it talked about a lot.

That's something that I would never like. Cartoon YouTube channels I watch. It doesn't seem like I would like it. No, it's like a weird, like, is a futuristic, but also like in the desert. I think it's just like action movie type thing. But maybe like Star Wars. Maybe strange style.

I don't know. It's basically Star Wars. Any time people are mad. Okay, yeah, madmen, yeah. I'm gonna switch genres here. Comedy. I'm gonna go with, it's always sunny. Oh.

Oh, okay. Never seen a single episode. That's a good answer. That's a good answer. But I'm sure I would like it. Yeah. Yeah, I bet you would. It feels like there's a certain genre, like a subset of comedy people that like it a lot. And I think you're that person.

It's about, it's mainly dudes, right? It's kind of a dude show. There's a girl in it. Not bad. I think she has a boy's name, though. Look it up, time. Scott. Joe.

Girl named Scott. Alex. Mel, Mike. Damn. What is it? I can't tell which Oh, Deandra. Is that right?

D. They call her D. That's not that girly. Or boy. Sweet D. Sweet D. That's what Google says. I have,

I've only watched a couple episodes of that. But man, people love it. People like it. The people that love it, love that show. You see memes of it era now and then. At least I'm pretty sure it's from the show,

but never seen it. I love it, though. Charlie Day is really funny. I don't even know which one that is. Oh, really? Yeah. He's the one. He's like the short,

like beard one. Not Danny DeVito. Oh, yeah. He looks funny. I know who you're talking about. Yeah, that's one of those shows. There's something about, I think they wrote it all. Like they did all themselves.

Oh, really? I think they wrote it and like started it themselves. Like the same kind of a goodwill hunting situation. Which is pretty cool. It's something like that. I don't know if it's like completely that, but it's like they had a lot of the power themselves. That's cool. I think that's the case with the studio, like a newer Apple TV show, the Seth Rogen.

He like directed it, wrote it, acted in it like that. Really? and it's great. That's pretty cool. Were they still making the show? I think it's always sunny. Maybe. Whoa, I didn't realize that. Holy cow, I'm never going to watch this. That's so much to catch up on.

It's like 18 seasons. I don't know if it's like one of those shows you have to really watch. Gotcha. I don't know. Maybe you do. Maybe there's inside jokes and stuff. All right, my next one, I'm getting scared that somebody else is going to pick it, so I'm picking it right now.

It's a scary show of mine. Not really, but it is called SpongeBob. square pants. How did I not think of that? That's good. I've never seen it. I don't know anything about it beyond just like there's the people's names. People love it.

My gosh, people love it. People love it. And I, they really do. I don't think you could convince me with any sort of compelling argument that that show is worth it or good at all. Like it's a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea with his pink friend. Yeah, I don't know if I, know people, because I know people who love it and will forever glaze it, but they think they

all grew up with it. So it's like, I think that maybe has to happen. Yeah, would, with these SpongeBob lovers, uh, Spongeheads, would they stand up for an hour where they'd be like, no, Jake and Brad, you have to watch it now or would they agree if you didn't watch in your childhood, you're probably going to like it. Yeah, because there's, there's got to be movies like that. Like, there's kids movies that are still, would still be awesome if you haven't seen it yet, right? Yeah. I'm not saying that, Home Alone will be as magical if you watch for the first time right now, but it would still be awesome in some ways.

Yeah. Airbud might be like, okay, it's kind of cheesy. Yeah, I needed to see that. But come on, that's fun. Space sham, still cool now. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, I just, just nothing about it. Nothing about it's compelling.

Nothing about it. It seems even like respectable. Like, if you like that show, I disrespect you a little bit. Not truly, but, I mean, like, kind of like, really? Like, that's what you were, like, so into. that you had to like stop everything and watch this sponge. And you're standing by it as an adult? Yeah, this is your pillowcase.

People love referencing. Like, it's kind of like when SpongeBob says this thing. And I'm like, I always feel bad not seeing it. But for whatever reason, it just completely missed my, missed my radar. Yeah. So. It is crazy. Like, SpongeBob memes are everywhere always, I think.

Yeah. Like, yeah, it's, I guess it was a cold. Like, what happens in an episode? I don't know. Does it have like a story art? He goes and works at Mr. Crabs. Krusty Krabb? Krusty Krabb.

Okay. I think. Mr. Krust. He's some, maybe he's late to work sometimes. Seriously, I don't know. And other great hijinks such as that. I don't know like what a normal, like is there like a normal story arc of like,

yeah, something happens. Then they fix it. Or is it like two episodes in one? You know, sometimes the cartoons would do that. It was like 15 minutes and then a new episode kind of thing. I don't know. I don't know anything about it. I've never seen it.

I don't know nothing. Okay. Yeah. As we've been talking, I've added so many more to my list. So I have no idea what to say. I'm going to say, um, Seinfeld.

I feel like, like, Jake, you like the show a lot? Love it. Um, and it's kind of old and classic. Older.

No, it's old. Old? Is it old? Yeah. I think it started like the early. Oh, yeah. It was like the entire 90s. Okay, cool.

Then yeah, Seinfeld. I love that. show. Like I, yeah, I, I really enjoy watching other shows. Um, big Jerry. Yeah, big Jerry. Yeah. Just, you know, he's always getting into trouble. He is always getting into trouble. That's what he's known for. Trouble. Big trouble. He's the trouble guy. Gosh, what is any other character name on that show? I can't think. I don't, yeah, I don't, I can't think of any, Kramer. There is. Yeah. Oh yeah, I saw a video of him I'd like a stand-up show.

Good video. Oh, fun. Yeah, also, that can't be your introduction assigned. Oh, I know that guy. Yeah. Oh, he's the guy from, oh, great. Yeah. Oh, George, he was the one from Dunstan, Checks-in.

Why did you watch that video? It was on my YouTube many years ago. Oh, that one's bad. That's rough. That one's really bad. What's the equivalent to that? Like, I don't know. Fire Festival.

No, but I mean, like, like, oh, I love, I love the office. Oh, yeah, I've seen that guy from the office. He was in. Oh, yes. Yeah. I love Horton. What was that? Oh, I love that guy

in dinner for schmucks. You ever seen that movie? It's like, that's not, you don't, don't judge Steve Karell off dinner for schmucks. Or whatever, like,

oh yeah, that, Ed Helms or something. Oh, yeah, that guy was on the hangover. It's like, well, this isn't the hangover.

I don't know. That's not even a great example, though, because those were actually, like, liked movies. Even just like, you only know Steve Karell

from like modern day or like great dramatic actor. Yeah, sure. Or, if you're like, he's really funny. Evan Almighty. Yes, I owe Steve Carell.

You're like, wow. Yeah. Yeah, technically. Yeah, that was my introduction. Like telling people I was on the Ellen show. And the only thing I've seen of Kramer, I think. All right. Yeah.

Big Kramer. But love that show, though. Yep. Never going to watch it. Never going to watch it. Dang, I've one last one. Mm-hmm. Gosh, okay.

Because Jake's never, you've seen probably friends, but not much. Not really, yeah. Let's let time and answer first, because I bet you'll know some of these, some of these famous quotes. Yeah. So Smelly Cat was one. We were on a cruise. We were on a cruise.

We were on a cruise. Yeah. We were looking for a break. Oh. Did you get off the, do you get off the freeway? Okay. I got off the freeway. You know, do you know it?

No. Get off the plane. That was like the last episode. I got off the plane. Let's see. Oh, the voice mail or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I think I've seen that scene.

That's a cool scene. I think a scene that someone like showed me a scene one time. It was like, this is really funny from friends. It was like someone moving a cat. or something. Classic. Pivot happens. Yeah.

Yeah. What about just Joey's catchphrase goes, how are you doing? Yeah. How you doing? How you doing? I was on a cruise. Man, I have so many honorable mentions that might have been better. No, those are good answers.

Those are good shows. Those are good shows that you have never seen, but you love. Yep. All right. My last one that I've never seen, but I love. Oh, there's so many. Once again. But there's one that just, it was an unexpected, just heart stringer for me.

Heart puller, string, strung. put had the heart yanker yanker um it's um i think i've never seen it but i think it's about this girl who's from the country who moves into the city she moves downtown downtown abbey oh yeah yeah it's about her adventure like using a bird scooter for the first time and like yeah planet fitness downtown abbey yeah um yeah she yeah she goes she gets a gym membership we work she figures out that you can just like get groceries and just like walk out because it's already scanned your card.

The episode where she gets a bike and then gets it stolen, she has to learn how bike clocks were. Doesn't know where to park and like how to pay for it. You know, parking. Parking garage kind of stuff. Street cleaning day. Yeah, a lot of hijinks downtown. Yeah. Abby is like a top five TV show character.

Downtown Abby. I love Abby. She's, yeah. It's crazy that they chose Rosie O'Donnell to play her too. Uh-huh. I just thought she was out of it and then all of a sudden she's back. And you kind of get to see Rosie grow up a little bit. Yeah.

You know, you forget she's only 10 years old when they shot it. Right. You know, but it is kind of fun. They immerse her into it downtown. So, yeah, downtown Abbey was pretty good. It's a good one. One that I really liked, so. Yeah.

Good pick. Thanks. You guys watched it? Oh, no. Watched it. No. I loved it. I've lived it.

But no, I've not seen it. My last pick. Seen the movie, haven't seen the show. I'm not talking about Shooter. I'm talking about Friday Night Lights. Oh. Seems to be a very popular. show. Yeah. And haven't seen a lick. Yeah, people, I thought the movie was pretty good. Everyone's

like, movies not very good compared to the show. People say that. I was like, movies seem great. I like Billy Bubb. Boobby Miles. People talk about Coach Taylor like they want him to be his, their dad. People do like Coach Taylor. I was looking something up recently. I was like, what's this guy from? It's like, oh yeah, he's the FBI agent in Wolf of Wall Street. And then Google is even like, no, dummy. He's the main character in front of the lights. I was like, well, I haven't seen that. Okay. Yeah, it really hasn't been in much other than that. He killed it on Friday Night Lights.

I think that's where he had his success. But anyway, haven't seen it at all, but I love football. So obviously, I love this show. It's a great show. It's mainly football. Well, it's Texas, baby, you know? It's Texas. Well, they don't really get into, like, romance or drama.

It's mainly just like, did we win or lose the game? And they don't do that anymore. SportsCenter Even just not highlights anymore. Yeah. But, yeah, Friday Lights was like one of those last shows. It's like truly just football, football, football. Each episode is about two and a half hours long, you know, because they cover almost every place.

and, you know, a little stuff before and after. They diagnose it a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, they get into the X's and O's, the All-22. And so, anyway, I love that part. Well, and they get into, like, the specific lights. They talk about halogens versus LEDs. How many lumens?

Oh, we're playing. We're playing away. Oh, no. What kind of lights they have? Yeah. Bright white. What kind of K's? Color temperature, Calvin.

Yeah. Amaro lights. Good luck. Amarolize you can barely see when you get out of the parking lot. So, yeah, Friday lights. It's another one I've seen. seven episodes of, and it was fine, but Catherine loves it. Okay.

So my cousin claimed to fame sat next to Coach Taylor at a movie one time, the actor. That's pretty cool. I think that's it. What do you get two? No, that's it. That's it. I'm done. All rightful mentions.

I have so many. If I may. Bragger. The office I wasn't going to say because I've seen too much of that. How I met your mother? Oh, yeah. Modern family. I love Lucy.

I'd go old. Toss it in there. The Simpsons, supernatural, The Walking Dead, Survivor. Oh, Survivor. That's really good.

I think I saw the season finale of episode one back in the day, but that's it. The Simpsons was good. I could have said that. Or like Family Guy. Not big on cartoons. No.

Like Spider-Verse. Most of mine were, yeah, most of mine were dramas except for the Simpsons and Simpsonsons. I think that was it. But yeah, Simpsons, it felt like that was like rated R back of the day. It would come on after something.

Maybe after the news or something. I remember you see the clouds. Like, turn. Hey, James. It's like, ah! Mom, I turned it off. I saw the letters. I turned it off.

Okay? I didn't see anything. I don't know. Yeah. I have seen like clips. And it's like, is it that bad? Or was it just a little bit disrespectful in a cartoon? I don't know.

What was going on with that show? Truly, I don't know either. other ones the wire her great thing people love the wire older he's Baltimore

anyway Dexter seen that yeah because people talk about it I turned on episode one once last year and

it was like shot on I don't know like a graphing calculator or something I couldn't believe it I was like normally they can like remaster things I don't know how old

this can be that old but this looks bad really yeah okay Squid game Never saw the squid game. I don't know if I did either. I think I saw like the Mr. Beast to YouTube.

I don't think I ever watched it. People were obsessed with it back in the world records. Yeah. Yeah. The crown. Hello. And I'm more of a peeky, blind as guy. More than that.

Middle class. Low of class. And then Ozark. Never saw Ozark. Yeah. So I had two on my list that I'd seen a few episodes of. Ozark and Better Call Saul. Man, Better Call Saul.

people, some people are like really into that. And I've watched a good amount. I bet I watched a season, maybe two seasons of it and just didn't hit. Not the same. No. Yeah. It's the same guy as Breaking Bad. Yeah.

So you think like, Bob. It's Vince. No, but it's Vince Gilligan. I mean, it's like the producer. But it's just not, it's like more lighthearted. He didn't have the magic. No. It was still fine, but it wasn't like, it was one of those shows.

It's like, I wonder if I would have seen this first, if I would have enjoyed it more. If you're like in, Hyman's shoes, like watch the prequel, then watch Breaking Bad. Maybe you love everything. Like, kind of like, if you only see the office seasons seven, eight, nine, you might be like, that's pretty good show. Uh-huh. But then you're like, wait, what is this? What is this show? This show is amazing. Yeah. You know, so. I had a couple newer ones that people seem to say good things about succession and euphoria. Yeah. Like I hear good things about that. Succession. Another one. I watch succession. Three episodes of and I was like, didn't get it. What is this about? What's so good? These people are just

jerks. I don't know. Yeah, euphoria. Is that the high school one? That sounds right. I don't know what platforms on. I know it's on one of the ones I don't have, so I just never got around to it. Yeah. A show I think I will actually watch because I've heard so many good things. People say such good things about season one is Chernobyl. I think I might try to watch that. Same. I watched 30 minutes of it one time and I was confused, but I was like, I should probably watch this for real. No, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Yeah. Yeah. They also say that about true law. I think it's called? True Detective.

Maybe that's it. True Eyes is a movie. Jamie Lee Curtis. True Detective is awesome. True Detective, I think that's the season one where they talk about. Inappropriate and dark, but wildly crazy. Like, so well done. Okay.

True Detective. Don't, Rachel would hate it. Okay. I watched it one time when Catherine was gone. I was like, Catherine, I hate this. Maybe this is your week. Get back on the horse. No, yeah.

Well, you see it once. You're like, I'm good. Anyway. A few more. Curb Your Enthusiasm. Never seen it, but I love Larry David. I love Seinfeld. You'll see good things about that show.

Yeah. I don't know. Check it out. You would love that one. I've used the music and a lot of videos. I've stolen from it. Stolen Valor. I haven't seen the show and I'm using their theme song.

You just know the punchline song. I went and threw in Battlestar Galactica, which is an honorable mention. And then Band of Brothers. Wow. Good one. I hadn't seen that one either. And there's so many shows.

People say good things. Is it just because it's too much of a commitment? Like Band of Brothers, I have to be like, I'm ready to be serious for 10 hours straight. Yeah, you've got to be in a mood. Yeah, and I'm not usually. I'm a comedy guy.

If I'm trying to decompress and just watch a show and just sit there, I'm not going to be like, I can't wait to really concentrate on this show. Nowadays, I just find myself a sucker for documentaries. It's a little more digestible. It's like hour and 20 minutes, I'm in and out, and I learn a lot about this one story. It's true. Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs. Yeah, whatever happened to those things. You seen any other ones recently? Documentaries? Yeah. No, actually. We've been on a little bit of a break from watching stuff in general, just dinosaurs in Seinfeld. Actually, no, we have been watching.

This is the opposite of what I just said, but we absolutely loved Paradise Season 1. I think it was like my favorite show of 2025. It was on Hulu. Yeah. It's kind of a dystopian one if you watched it. Is it the black guy from This Is Us? Yes. Okay.

Anyway, season two just came out. That comes out on Mondays. You know, we had Beast games coming out on Wednesdays. So we were kind of like regular TV programming people most of this year so far. But yeah, I love a good documentary. Fun. Oh my. Go ahead.

No, you go ahead. Brad is a bit. Not necessarily stressed, but I think disappointed in some recent things he's seen on the news. Yeah. Probably know what I'm talking about. Yeah. The new Panda exhibit at the Kansas Zoo. They are taking away the pandas.

They are taking away the bamboo. And of course, who does that affect? Cozy Earth. Cozy Earth. Can't locally source our viscos from bamboo anymore. I had a bamboo guy in town. Now I have to go to cozyearth.com to get my bamboo. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the panda exhibit. It was a luxurious place. It's kind of an untapped resource. It was amazing. People would go in and they wouldn't come out and people would be like, getting eaten by the pandas?

No, they're falling asleep there because the bamboo is so comfortable. They're hibernating with the bears. It's crazy. That's how that's exactly. That's how bears hibernate for so long. This is through viscostran bamboo, but not just any viscos from bamboo. Not for any of these guys from. The best viscoser.com. Yes. From cozy earth.com slash ghost runners. I would encourage a challenge. I know we challenged you on Monday to order four pieces. If that's maybe not your style, I'm going to encourage you to some else. Only order three. Okay. Let's call this the, you know, I'll brand it. I'll take this one. The triplet, triple, triple triple from the time.

This is the triplet, triple play. This is cozy earth top, cozy earth joggers and cozy earth sheets. If you can wrap all those in one night of sleep, you can thank me later. Wow. You can thank me now. It is unbelievable.

That's what I've been rocking. No, not even every now and then for me, every night. Yeah. Every night. That's what I rock in some form of fashion. Sometimes it's the cityscape hoodie and pants.

sometimes it's the viscose joggers and shirt. It really is special. Yeah. I don't call it a top, though. I call it shirt. Well, I was kind of leaving it open. Like, you can go sweatshirt of, you know, depending on how you sleep or just like a shirt. I got options.

Yeah. Cozy Earth on top, Cozierth on bottom, Cozy Earth all over. That's good. Yeah. And you can get a discount with GRCCC. Oh, yeah. You can get 20% off. That's kind of the nice thing.

Easier to triple up that way. Easier to triple up. Triple up. And if you do the, if you triple up and then you have your, husband or wife also triple up. What do you call that? No, no, but it's only five. They stare at the same bed sheet.

Oh, I got all this pent-up coziness. Yeah. Pint. Pint-up coziness. I got this pent-upil coziness. Pintuple coziness. Yeah. That's right. So cozyort.com slash goes to my ears. I like some of your honorable mentions, Simon. Thank you.

Some of those comedies are some of my favorites. Cool. Yeah. I love Lucy too, dude. Yeah. Don't sleep on I love Lucy. Carol Burnett show. Toss that in there.

Honor. Every time I watch I love Lucy with the kids, I'm like, this is genuinely funny right now. That's great. It's not like,

I can't relate. Obviously, you can tell it's old. How old is it? I don't know. 50s? 60s? So like Andy Griffith

age, even maybe a little older. Maybe. Because like, Andy Griffith is probably the best show that I have seen, probably. Just the best show ever? I don't know.

It's just like, it's the best, it's one of the few shows I have seen. Okay. I really, I'm not a TV show guy. It's just like,

as a family, all the time back of the day, we would always watch it. Like, it was all on Amazon Prime. Yeah. And it was just like, maybe just like, one of the best, just comfort, just watch and. I love Andy Griffith.

I thought of it last episode when you thought Derek's kid was named Otis. Yeah. That's like the drunk. I thought of Outs. Otis Taylor. Rumin in jail. Yeah.

Does Andy Griffith? Was it in front of a live studio audience, do you think? I don't know. I wouldn't. How does that work? No, like, definitely. I would say, definitely not the

I'm gonna stop talking I have no idea yeah you don't know yeah you can tell that I love Lucy is a live audience and sometimes people are dying laughing

really that's kind of funny like I think there's one Catherine knows so much about I love Lucy but there's one scene in it where like it's the longest like laugh

pause break in a TV show like or maybe at least live audience yeah people are just dying laughing Lucy's in like some pool of

spaghetti sauce or something like that and people just think it's the funniest thing ever Something like that. Yeah. Isn't it kind of cool to think back to like early comedy and like people never

seen anything like this? Right. The idea of like losing your mind at something. And she saw it for the first time. It is so, it's good, dude. It's, yeah. Like I'll go home and watch right now by myself. Have a little day.

I was working at the Airbnb house before this this morning and somehow I tried to like listen to a podcast and just Moana started playing. I just listened to the whole soundtrack by myself. Take me for a ride. Like, I don't know if I should be embarrassed of this or not, but I'm just going to, why not. Yeah. All right. It's just like the phone's over there. I'm not going to mess with it. Zach walks in. Dude, what are you listening to? Moana. Yeah. Anyway. That's funny. Okay. Random. I have a relatable or not dudes. And maybe it's still relatable in this day. It's not for me. But back when I was a kid, I only washed my hands with cold water.

Okay. In other words, like, I never used the warm. Like, I never made it warm. maybe relatable. I think I did the same thing. Yeah. And now my kids are like very strict of like, what? I don't want warm water. It's like boiling hot. Like no, it's not.

It just feels good. And they're like, no, I want it cold. And like as a kid, I was 100% the same way. I remember the day that my aunt like turned it on warm for me. And I was like, what is? It like changed my mind. I was like, I didn't think you could do this. I know how water came out of the sink.

Yeah. Rosie's very adamant about cold water right now. That's funny. And that could be true, but I can't remember. I don't know how I used to wash my hands. How are you guys washing them now? If you find that sweet spot in temperature, I'll stay there for two minutes. Truly.

Like when it's just like perfectly, whatever that temperature is, it's like, I mean, I'll just drift away. I mean, I'll always be brainstorming, daydreaming. Oh, I feel so good to have your hands under that perfect temperature. I rarely find it, though. Really? Too impatient at home. Yeah. I don't even know if we have a hot water heater in here.

I mean, this thing. It just takes years to get the sink water hot. And then if you're in public, if you're in Chick-fil-A, you're going to get burnt. And a lot of the public ones are just not the right temperature. Chick-fil-A, sometimes Chick-fil-A just has like a one temperature sink that's burning you. Just hand and burn. What are you? That's not, oh, yeah, in the next set.

Lawsuit. Like, I could think of specifically, like, it's really hot. You can't change it. Censor and burn. You just get it out really fast because it's like, it hurts. See, that's my, that's the way I do it. I only turn on the hot water and I just, it doesn't get crazy hot for like five seconds. and I'm usually good by then.

Yeah. At home, yeah, I'll do the same thing where I only turn on the hot, but I never feel any hot. It just, like, is slowly getting a little warmer than I'm done. You don't know your sinks, right? Like my, like our bathroom sink gets hot quick

and it's, you gotta like, that must be nice. Maybe you just go boom, get a little bit wet, boom, you know, lather up, then boom again. Here's something, if I can be vulnerable,

always been this way. I know it's not probably the right way. I always get my hands wet. and then go soap. Me too. Really? Oh, what's,

what's wrong with that? I like, whenever I, you know, he's kind of observing people, everyone always gets soap first. But then you don't get this lathery and sudsy.

Well, I'm glad you're with me. Yeah. I thought I was in the minority. I think that we are, I think that we're like some of the few sane people. I feel like there's a lot

of psychopaths that are like the few of the proud. For some reason, it feels, it's not dirty. That doesn't make any sense. I'm with you. It feels inappropriate.

I can't, it feels inappropriate. I can't put soap on dry skin. the second you take your clothes off and then going in the shower. Exactly. I don't do that with my body. That would be insane. So why do people do it on your hands?

I'm glad we're all saying the same thing. Yeah. Maybe we're not in the majority. Maybe we're not in the majority. Wet first, soap later. And then my kids, all they do,

they just, Rosie uses 15 pumps on her hand and then doesn't even like move it around, just puts on her hand, just puts her hand under the same. Like, you just waste all her soap. Rub them together. but yeah

anyway that's my hand washing I'm with you kids are kids are cold cold beings I think I was too yeah so interesting

I just got one last update we can wrap it up or whatever else you guys want to talk about we've joked before long ago on episodes JT operations the name of my

LLC turned to escort that is the gift that keeps on giving because I received a check in the mail that I was receiving a corporate refund I guess maybe in 2024 or something, I paid too many taxes.

Good for you. Bad for me because this is embarrassing. For one, I opened this check two days ago that was sent in October. I don't know how it wasn't like all the mail was from October. This somehow got lost in the shuffle. It ends up in the pile. It's expired. So it's been sent in October.

Since then, I have fully shut down JT operations. It does not exist anymore. anymore. And I've got a check sent to me under that. So that's pretty sick. I'm going to have some serious hurdles to jump through to get this money. Yeah. What are you going to have a funny problem. Like the government sent me money. When does that ever happen? Every time I get some from the IRS, it's always the link with this. You owe money here. Yeah. Your stomach drops. I think you're behind. Yes. Gosh. And then they finally send me money and it's addressed to something that doesn't exist. Oh, yeah. What's the process even look like to get that? AI said, you got options and

you're not going to like it. Did it say that? Yeah, basically, more or less. It was just like, I mean, there's a number of things you could do. They were all going to be a bit of a hash. Dang. Dang. I thought that was kind of funny.

I was like, well, I mean, this is too bad. But definitely on me. Like, it has showed up in October and I somehow just now found it. But all the other mail was pretty recent. That's good. Yeah, it wasn't like a ton of stuff from October. Isn't that funny? Like, yeah, whatever.

Sometimes it's like, oh, we got a check for $100. And it's like, why did I cash that right away or like deposit that right away? He's like a little 20 second tasks. All of a sudden it's like, oh, snap. Sweet. We got to deposit this. Yeah. If it was a $100 bill, I wouldn't just be like, let's just put it over there for now.

I'll put in my sock drawer and someday I'll get it. So that's funny. I have a few other things written down. One of them was just out of nowhere. Henry was messing, like just taking stuff out of my backpack the other day. And I have cologne in there for whatever reason. And he spread cologne all over himself. like, you smell good, but also what in the world?

It's just a funny, funny thing for like your baby to smell like a man, basically. Like a madman. Yeah. And then I saw something about, I get, I get like, you know, push not push not but like text updates for this company called Just Ingredients. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they said like, it's National Protein Day. got to celebrate.

And I, I mean, this is not a hot take by any means, but it just is one of those things that just festered everyone once in where it's like, we have, how do you get a day? How do you, what everyone's in charge? Who,

do we just make this up? Seriously, who is in charge? Who said, like, can we please make it national protein? No one's checking. No one's double checking that. Like, can we just have a day that's just Ghost Rider's Day or like, national time in day or anything like that?

Like, what I just, it just, that was the one that, did me in once again for the whole national day. Like I understand like, you know, Mother's Day, Father's Day. And then they were like Grandparents Day, great. Then it was like, you know, sibling, step-sibling.

Christmas. Christmas, Jesus Day. Yeah. Jesus Day again when he rose from the dead. Yeah. Second Jesus Day. Yeah, second Jesus Day. But like, Arbor Day's fine.

I'll take it. That's fine. That's fine. Veterans Day, totally. but National Margarita Day Exactly great Like put it on Cinco de Mayo and call it that That's fine

Like we're already doing that But don't The one I can remember I think it's National Dog Day Because I think it's like the day before my birthday or something Okay And I feel like that oh that fester's in me National Dog Day

And so then it's like well I really like my rabbits I want a rabbit day Hey We need a national rabbit day Well protein day's already there Well rabbits have broken I had a meeting with the guy yesterday. He's like, yeah, we'd love to get something out by April. You know, we got, got a spring and obviously just like National Pickleball Day or whatever.

See? And I just thought, I was like, oh, yeah, he said that. Let me look at when that is in April. You Google it. It says National Pickleball Day is celebrated annual in August 8th. See? So we have at least two National Pickleball Days. And then if you look at when is World Pickleball Day, that's on October 10th. Dude, that's, you should, you should start, you should start like basically trolling people and just like every month. Yep, that's right. Be like, we have a National Pickleck. Pickle Ball Day sale, you know, today only for National Pickleball Day and just see if anybody's finally like, you have what it is every month.

It can't still be national. Yeah, we should just run an ad at all times. It says, it's a national pickleball. Who says no? Yeah. At all times, be running an ad that says today's natural pickleball day. And they comment and they get in a fight about it, engagement. Help us celebrate.

Yeah. It's just, it's in charge. Yeah. Who approves that? Does that somebody's job to be like, I will stamp that approval for this to be a national day? Yeah. How does just ingredients get away with this SMS?

blast protein day. I want to know people out there, ghosties out there, what kind of national days are you seeing that we are not thinking of? Yeah, tell us about your days. If you're in the crocheting community, National Crochet Day.

Needle Day. Needle Day. Needle Day. Or if you're in the recovering addicts community, Needle Day. Needle Day. Yeah. Or if you're in the,

I still use record players day, Needle Day. Needle Day. That's all I got. Anyway, just something to think about. Just something to think about. Yeah. You feel better.

Yeah. And then one last thing. I don't understand. I kind of understand it, but it always trips me up. I think you talked about this, maybe on correct opinions. You talked about like throwing, no, something about punches. Holding back punches. Oh, pulling your punches.

Holding punches. I've always, I resonated with that, the phrase, you said that you didn't understand that phrase. I've never resonated or I've never understood the phrase, no love lost. That's a good one. It's like there's no love lost with this. Oh, Bengals and Ravens, no love lost here. It feels like, it feels like that means a good, like,

oh, no love was lost. That's good. They're still buddies. They still have love. They still have love for, they still have love there. They had this amount of love before the game, after the game. Same amount of love. Say, there's still love there.

It's like, no, it's a bad thing. No love lost. I would say love lost is bad. If you don't have love in you, that's bad. All love lost. Oh, yeah, there's all love lost between these. two teams. It's like, oh, they're like best friends. They'll always be brothers. All love lost sounds so much worse. Right? Here's when I heard this. You heard this time? No love lost. Maybe it's maybe in sports.

I understand it. Two, two, like, competing theater troops never have no love lost when they battle. Like in pitch perfect? They don't say that. Or when they do a sing sing-off? Trying to think of all the cartoons that I've seen. Yeah, think about the cartoons. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I heard one this morning. I was He was like, yeah, I feel like when it comes to pickleball paddle technology, I mean, it's a zero-sum game. And I go, yeah. Zero-sum. Zero-sum game. All right, hold on.

Let me mute for a second. Exactly. Let me talk this out loud. It adds up to the sum is zero of all the pickleball. It's one of those things like, zero-sum game. You understand counterfeit money when you're in the CIA, and that's all you do is look at, like, real money all the time. Then you see counterfeit. You don't understand how, like, terrible corporate jargon is until you're not in corporate

America and then you have a call with somebody. And it's just like, golly, dude. This, like, you're like serious about, like. In a vacuum? I had a call today with somebody. I was tired of hearing about inside of the vacuum. I was like, oh, man. Like, you just, you're not talking like a normal person.

Yeah. You're talking like. You're in, like you're in a severance. Your Eni is talking right now. Yeah. Can't understand you. I don't know if this thing has legs. It's noodle on it.

I'm like, stop. Just say, I don't know if this. a good idea or not. I got a lot of love lost for you, buddy. Yeah. I'll love you anymore. So I'll Google later what zero sum means. Zero sum. I think, I think that just means like it's like a lose, lose scenario, I think. The context clues where that like technology's got a plateau where everyone's going to have the same thing. But I couldn't understand it. Why that means zero sum? Why is that out of to zero? Maybe it's like a positive and a negative. One step forward, one step backwards. See? Do the hokey pokey. Now we're talking. Turn yourself around. Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, I choose Madman. Good. That's good stuff.

No love lost. Pulling punches. All right. All right. That's all I got, though. All right. Yeha, timing. Yeha.

Hey-ha. Hey-ha, makes a world go around. That's right. We had Steve coupon last week, and just once again, just you guys saw how much you loved him. I'll give you a hint why. it's because he's American and he's a farmer. Okay? It's not because he's a good teacher.

It's not because he's a nice dad or father-in-law or anything. There's only one thing that makes that guy redeemable, and it's the fact that he's a farmer. He's from America. Is that my phone? Wow. What is going on? I've turned on my silence thing,

whatever you call it, vibration, like seven times. Do you think it could have been when you slammed it down twice earlier? Yes. I doubt it is that. That's weird, though. You know what else is weird? People thinking that it's a product of the USA just because it's wrapped up here.

We see this in Pickaball a little bit, too. Some of these brands are like, hey, designed in America, that's really big on their paddle. We're like, you, no. You are the Thore-Ragnar rock of this industry. That's exactly right. You don't belong here.

That's right. Whereas? Whereas such forth? Good ranchers meat is grown, farmed, I'll say it, slaughter, yeah. Packaged up.

It's American meat delivered. Time in real quick. I mean, at the very end of last week's episode, Chiefs Traderway, Trent McDuffie, a lot has happened since then. How are we feeling? I think,

honestly, I have hope. I think that, like, with the new, with the other recruits, with some of the other recruits. With some of the other recruits. With some of the other new recruits,

I think that, like, ABC, always be recruits. It's the way that I think, that they know what they've lost and they know to put in the compensation that they need to compensation? Oh, they need to compensate. You think they put money in and they just get a win out of it?

Pay to play. Well, they pay the script writers. Pay the referees. They're going to know how much they'll have to play even harder to compensate for the loss of our guy. Okay. Who is named? McDuffie. McDuffie.

Nickname. Macbeth. Yep. Yeah. Theater guy. Yeah. That was him and his wife. Yeah. What are you thinking about Crosby?

Oh yeah, that was kind of crazy. You have those allegations? No, that's Cosby. Gotcha. Yeah. Crosby. Dio! With the pudding. Crosby will be like as the new commentator.

No. Not yet. Not yet. Maybe someday. I think he has it. He has it. Whatever they need. He has the.

He's got what it takes. Yeah. Good. And what you think? You think Dobbs is going to be a good fit? Yeah. I mean, bigger than you would expect for a point of what he is. Point guard, that's, that's basketball.

Oh, yeah. In high school, he might have played. Yeah. Well, for, yeah, for being a past point guard, he's bigger than you'd think. Okay. But I think he'll fit. Okay. And why did, why do you think they went with Tua?

Um, I was, I was just trying not to. to say any kind of like dumb hawk to a joke. Yeah, sure. That's it. It crossed my mind too. Yeah. Atlanta. So I couldn't think of any other jokes. So. Okay. This is actually one thing. Have you guys seen the Donna Kelsey stuff? Yes. It's kind of funny. I think I'm a little out of the

loop, but I think I've seen enough. Did this cross your plate fully out? I think. I'm not Instagram on my phone. So it's like I see just the most high-hour. I think maybe I saw on Casey Daley. I don't know what I saw. But basically she's renovating her house. Her very modestly normal house. I think it's

two bedroom, two bath. And people have just, like, really, like, yeah, made jokes, like punchline jokes about it. It's because TMZ reported this. Okay. So that's how it started. Like, TMZ put out this whole graphic. They tweeted. They posted on Instagram.

Donna Kelsey is rumored to be renovating her two bedroom, two house in Tallahassee, Florida, or whatever. And everyone is just piling on like, this is the most hilarious non-news. Like, what? She's renovating. It's just, obviously. Yeah, it's just, yeah. And so since then, I've,

I've seen Travis Kelsey since that has come out, has said he has got to play one more season with the chiefs. A lot of people didn't know if this is going to happen or not. And so I've seen people being like Donna Kelsey's son is back with the chiefs. Like she is now the premier star, influencer, celebrity because they're reporting on such menial things in her life. Yeah, I feel like I saw a bunch of funny memes about like, you know, I learned a lot of, you know, facts about life,

but I miss the fact. Or I'll never forget where I was when I didn't hear about Donna Kelsey. Everyone, like, anyway, it's great. Yeah, it's kind of funny. Donna. So you feel good about Travis coming back? Yeah. Good.

Yeah. With his newfound wife. I don't know when that's happening. I don't know when that's happening. Jensen knows. Jensen knows. Rhode Island. Fun.

Thanks for talking football with us. Talking pig skin. Of course. I always want to bring it up, but I don't want to be the first. I don't want to sound like I'm too excited about it, but yeah. Please do. I think Chiefs are going to be good next year.

I'll take. I think we'll be so back. Be animated. Our offense is going to be something. How do you feel about Kenneth Walker? Great. Yeah. Normally I'm not big on paying running backs,

but I'm like, how often do you get the Super Bowl MVP a month after he won the Super Bowl MVP? That never happens. Most time because it's a quarterback. I think we're going to have some juice. Yeah. I hope it's like 2018 again.

We're like, defense, not great, but we're winning games 38 to 35. That is fun. Fine. I would love that. Yeah. Let's get Rashy rice out of. of jail slash trouble.

And let's have a few good draft picks, but no, BN of me, Pat, it would be fun. It's going to be really fun. Kenneth. We're getting to be Kenneth as a weapon. We're already, let's just talk football real quick. We're already like, we were a good running back or running team and we did not have exceptional running backs.

It was almost like our offensive line was the running back. We have a really good offense of line and like really mediocre running backs. It's like, let's see what happens when we get somebody that can actually break a tackle. And I don't really know much about Kenneth Walker other than like, okay, fantasy output. But then I did watch Super Bowl. and I thought, this guy looks good. Yeah. Goodness, Charbonnet got injured.

This guy gets his time to shine, and it was happy to see him win MVP. So it's kind of fun. We get the guy as he's exploding into the limelight. Gosh, I hope it's good. And he seems like a nice, the little thing I've seen from him. You know, he's very soft-spoken, very chill. He's like, I don't party. I don't drink.

I like playing football. You're going to hike in the city then, buddy. Not much of a nightclub here, nightclub scene. So it's going to be great. Cool. All right. Well, thanks for listening to Ghosties, as always. Thank you to Main Street Roasters.

As always. As always. Yeah. Check out our sponsors. As always. As always. Time in. When is the week coming a week?

When is we coming to the week? Oh my goodness. Okay. My win of the week, why you guys are thinking of yours. Oh, that's a screenshot. How do I describe this? I use this stuff called KMS, I believe it is. It's what I use in my hair.

And it's like a little pump thing. And I would say four weeks ago, I thought, It was out. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to just, I'm going to try to pump a few more. And it wasn't pumping anything. So I was like, I guess it's out. And then I said, maybe one more time before I get a new one.

And I pumped it and it came out. And it's still going. That's a great win. It's a great win. It's like, I almost threw you away. You had so much more life in you. Yeah. Forgive me for I did not know.

I know, dude. Exactly. So shout out to that bottle. Just having a second life. That's a good one of the week. I'm going to go comment on the week because I can think of it right now. A lot of great Steve Coop comments. I mean, truly all of them.

I absolutely loved reading. But the one I can remember off the top of my head was from Cole Ford. And he said, all right, race, Steve Coop runs four laps. No, timing runs four laps. Steve Coop runs three. I will crawl one. I'd watch. I'd watch.

Crawling fast would be a spectacle. Wow. Yeah, you would need knee pads. this is on a track. Yeah. Maybe it's like an Ironman thing. Like, and you could choose your, you could choose your own adventure. You could either run eight laps, run four laps plus a crawl, or run six laps plus a half a crawl.

Yeah, like we say a crawl lap is worth three and a half running lap. So it's up to you how you want to get to a total of, you know, eight laps. Yeah. Yeah, or yeah, or just crawl two. Yeah. Crawl two and run like one lap. Yeah, I call it good. Crawl two might be, that would be tiring, but it'd be the fastest, I think.

We got to figure out what the equivalent is. I think you could crawl as fast as a slowish walk, right? That's kind of like what a crawl is, I suppose. I feel like it's going to be kind of like... Are we talking like top crawling speed? You go way fast. I'm talking about you got to go average crawling. Okay.

For, for a, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Because you also, yeah, you can't crawl too much because then at a certain point, your muscles will like be on fire. It's like rock climbing. I feel like you've got to get one crawl. I would not be good at my wrist. I feel like that would hurt so bad. You could have to go a ring a tang.

God's got your wrist. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You think your shoulder blades? Is that where you're? I think you'd be on fire.

Could you could you? Could you? Could you? Could you? Could you? Could you. Maybe there's like a con like, like, hey, as long as you're not above a certain plane, you can do whatever you want down there.

So maybe you just like get it down. You're like warming it on your back. Worm. Roll. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Roll.

Some sort of backwards crawl. When WestJet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board. Here's to WestJetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years.

Yeah, Cole for it. I like that idea. That's a great one. I'll set that up this summer. A lot of people talking about. about elephant ears. A lot of ear talk. I like that. A lot of wind out there.

Oh, boy. F-Zero. Here it comes. Not again. Tim, what do you got? Do you got a comment? Are you got to win? I got both. I'm going to go comment first.

Javan Plattner said, I just found out Timon is not sitting where I thought he was. I might need a map. Yeah, people were struck by this. Other people thought someone, Madison McCullough, thought that I was diagonally

across the room from Eugick. Like, that I was where the door is. That's funny because I think it's very easy to see. Looking, yeah, you always look this direction when you're looking. I've taken. Seriously, I know. That would put me behind your camera, Jake. Like, I agree.

Yeah, that's crazy. I wonder why you would ever think that. Where are we saying, time? Yeah, bud. I'm just yelling from behind the wall. Hey, that's it. That's good. That's good.

No problem. Yeah, that was pretty fun. I might need a map. Somebody also commented someone, something similar. Haley says, I thought for sure Brad was a dark blue or black kind of truck guy. The white truck reveal threw me off. White truck reveal off. I guess I'm not well-versed enough in like what the different colors of truck mean.

The two before this were darker. Yeah. It's like, wow, I thought Katta Bride was humble. You think you know what God is. I thought it was kind of laid back. Yeah. White's more generic, I guess. I don't know.

That's interesting. The white truck. Whoa, he's a white truck guy? My gosh. I'm going to have to go back and listen to the podcast. There's probably clues I didn't pick up on. It's like, yeah, it was just the one that was a good deal at the dealership. They said it was, yeah.

It was the one they had in stock, so I said, sure. Yeah. That's funny. So, oh, my win was singing in the Messiah show. What was that? That was last Sunday afternoon. It was an end of you. Yep.

It was a sold-out thing. He's friends with Zach. I'm friends with Zach, so I know all about it. Zach was, like, actually not feeling well, so he's kind of worried because he's singing for three hours in a row. He said it's really hard, actually. It's like the hardest thing. you can sing. Yeah, he's right.

So what else you want to? But it went really well, he said. Yes, I was going to say all that, but, Brad, yeah. Brad kind of, like, spoiled it. And he can be in the choir without even going to college there. Yep. That's kind of a hack. Life hack. Really, though, three hours. That's kind of, is it like continued? Zach was exaggerating to you.

Really? But actually, it was pretty long. I mean, it was like, it was probably, the show started at 3.30. We were probably done six, five 30. that's close. Two to two and a half hours. Three hours sounds better than two and a half. Yeah, it's true.

It was not three. But, but yeah. No, it was like, it is kind of wild. I mean, Zach, I don't know. He was looking for like a bunch of pity. He's not singing the whole time.

We're singing like, we're actively singing for 22% of it. What? What are you doing the rest of the time? Maybe it's maybe. Well, there's a lot of, there's some that's just the band, like just the orchestra playing.

Some that's just the soloists. and some that are the choir, but it's like the actual, like, advanced college choir. Okay. Then, like, we joined in. But still, still a lot of singing, even because it's a long show. Maybe 22% is too low. But, yeah, Zach said, like,

the whole show, his voice was, like, a little struggling, but, like, the final song just, like, was unlocked. And he just, like, unlocked. He could sing his, his voice. He was warming up after that. Yeah. But yeah, that was a big win. Super cool show. Okay.

Um, this, I'll say this is my comment on the week. but it's also a little bit of a conversation. Gina Purcell says, if your state has 70-degree weather in February and snow doesn't stay on the ground for months of the time, you do not belong to those of us classified as the Midwest. We are nothing alike. You're talking about like Oklahoma?

Maybe us. Maybe we talked about that. I think we mentioned like that it was 70 degrees or something like that in February. Listen, I want to be something and we're not the South. We're not, we can't be the Midwest. We can't be the North. We're not the West.

I mean, just. we're right in the middle, okay, guys? My brain is too logical for this debate. Because I'm like, it's, it's kind of ridiculous that Minnesota is the Midwest. They are north. They are as north as our country can be.

We shouldn't even necessarily, like, be that Midwest. But if we are, like, I feel like we're just right in the middle. So if we're talking like the literal... I just think it's cultural. I don't think it's as much, uh, as much as it is geographical.

I know, but I can't help but it's like... But if Gina Purcell is, is, Yeah, saying this from northern Wisconsin. It's like, calm down, all right? You're north. What should we be then?

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Please just be nice to us. We're nice to you and therefore we're Midwesterners. We have to be something. Yeah. We have to be something. The South isn't going to less.

We don't deserve to be in the South. The South's so elitist that they're not going to let anyone in. They're not, there's no transfer portal for the South. There's like geographical South. Like, oh, obviously Texas is South, but it's like, well, that's not really like South. Texas and Florida are kind of the South. but also kind of their own thing.

Because they're not like the OG South, whereas like some people would say like Virginia is the South. Like that's like the dividing line or whatever. Yeah. I don't know. Big debate. It's where the White House was back in the day for the South. You know that?

And we're just, we're in the middle. And you're right. We do. So what? We have the occasional warm day. Snow doesn't stick. Yeah. Sorry.

I don't have the occasional warm day too. It's just a little bit warmer. Yeah. I didn't know the Midwest was only weather. Like that's the big thing. Yeah. I think anybody, any, any, any state that has more of their land being farmed than populated is the Midwest.

It's, nah, that's not fair because then there's like Idaho or something like that. But like, if you, yeah, we need to find some like, some metrics. Like, if there is still a high school nearby called the Indians, you're probably in the Midwest. Okay. If. Well, that's, yeah, that's like literally like. because there's history of that around here, not because it's like,

we're not going to be with the Times or whatever. I think it's a little bit of both. I think it's like, yeah, there are not Native Americans in New York. They also wouldn't let that fly. We live in Shawnee. The reason it's called Shawnee is because of the Shawnee Indians. Yeah.

Yeah. Olathe means beautiful in Native American. Black Bob was the guy, the chief's name. Now it's run by Mark Wahlberg. At least last time I was on Black Bob, Walbergers was a lot of, there. Anyway, what do you want from us, Gina, all right?

Sorry, sorry, we have nice weather. Where should we be? We're not the South. Because people from the South would laugh in your face if you said that Kansas was the South. Yeah. I told you how Jeff Betke, did I ever tell you that take of his, back when he lived in Hawaii, now that he lives in Tennessee, I guarantee you, he would be like, he would

take it back and gaslight me for even telling him that he said this. But he said that Kansas City was the South because it had good barbecue. I was like, that is not the prerequisite to be in the south. Yeah, New York City is Italy because they have good pasta. Because their pizza is unbelievable. That's a funny thing. That's such a classic. And he, like, of course, like dug his heels in.

Like, didn't want to even hear about any other people pushing back. So anyway, thank you, Gina for the Midwestern comment. Thank you, Gina. A lot of debate. uh my one of the week one i think i could just put all the steve coop comments as one of the week and then other just like bonus one would be like something about the last like probably three to four weeks with friday i feel like i've been entrepreneur jason over the years like yes we're building a brand with ghost runners and with jean shorts and these other things we've done even with friday but

it's not until recently it's like this feels like a really feels like a business and i think that's with scott and iac coming on full time and just like it's just fun it just every day we're like solving, it feels like a startup and it feels like true entrepreneurship, kind of for the first time. You got to set up your desk in the garage and then you'd be a startup. Yeah, and I need like someone to take like an iconic photo. You know, we started in this garage. There was a squirrel right behind me, not five minutes ago. Garage is looking rough. Dude, you missed trash day one week. Boy, the cardboard piles up. Did you only miss it one week? Well, just one week. Really? Oh, yeah. I'm usually all over it. I just got my days mixed up last week. You are all over it because every time I take my trash out,

I think, did I beat Jake? No, I did not. I do a pretty good job. Boy, that last week. But anyway, it's just fun. It's just, it's rewarding to have a job you care about. And, you know,

rewarding to have a job that you were like willing to put in extra effort for. So I'm just thankful for that. It's fun. Good. Love it. Most of what we're doing now.

I mean, we don't know. Like we've said, how do we go international? I have no idea. I got into this because I wanted to make viral Instagram videos. I don't know how to. Yeah, really.

How do we grow in Hocheemen City? And also, where is Hoicheman City? So, yeah, is that part of my digestive tract? What, uh, what country's Hojuman city, Taiman? Hojuman. Hojuman. I don't even. Kind of Norse sounding, right?

It's sound. Yeah, uh, I thought it sounded kind of Asian. Oh, okay. Hojuman. No, it doesn't. I don't know what it sounds like. It's Asian. Oh, it is.

Ho Chi-Men. Ho Chi-Me? Ho-Ci-Ming. How is that? Japan. I believe it's Vietnam. Good job. Ding, ding, ding.

Good. All I know. God's thumb. God's hand. God's paddle. It's Michigan. Mitten. Midwest.

All right. We'll see you guys. Love you guys. Thanks for listening as always. Woo. Ghost from a podcast. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick.

I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
