Same old podcast, new name for this episode. It's different than the last one. He's changing the name. Timon just said right before you go ahead and change the name on this episode. What did you change it to, time? Let's reverse engineer this episode. So go ahead. Give us the name of the episode and then we'll...

Oh, like the title of the episode? Yeah, what's this one called? Yeah. I didn't know that a dog could do that. Oh, good. I had no idea. Yeah. We'll get there.

Okay. We'll find it. Yeah. We don't understand later on why we can't start with the title story. Fair enough. The title, yeah. I have a few kind of random awkward interactions with people these days. Oh, do you have a dog thing?

Go ahead. Go ahead. I got excited, though, because I see the word dog in my notes. Got that dog in your notes. We'll get there. Okay. I got that dog in my notes, dog. I was at the Honda dealership.

Catherine was getting her van. I was fixing her van. I was sitting there while I paid somebody as man there than me to her van. I was there fixing her van. Yeah, I was just there in the lobby fixing her van. And this guy came up and talked to me. And we had a nice conversation.

This guy was a, like one of those drivers of the trucks that like transport the cars. Like, you know, you see like seven cars on one of those semi kind of things. Yeah. Or whatever. Is that a semi if it's not the trailer? Sure. That kind of trailer. I don't know.

Yeah. Why do they call it a semi? What's full? Seriously. That's got to be huge. It's an airplane. Um, anyway, this guy was older, not super healthy looking guy. I mean, he's sitting around driving all day. I don't, I mean, anyway, we were talking about tornadoes and yeah, you know, I've, I've been caught in a few and I just, they'd say get in a ditch. I don't, I didn't get in the ditch. I just drove 100 miles an hour the other way. Like, whatever, talking to me all this stuff and stuff. That's great. And we, we had, we had good rapport. It was this nice conversation. And then I feel like he was telling some story or something. And I didn't really understand why, but like, as he's telling me, on the story, he kind of like mimics like falling over. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I was like,

yeah. And then I realized like, oh, he almost like fell on his face right there. That was not part of the story. And I just laughed in this guy's face. This old man like almost just fell right on his face. And he's just like, whoa, whoa. Right. Like, sorry, man. I don't know what just happened to my knee right there. I was like, oh, you okay? Oh, real fall. help like walking back to the, the, I think it's a semi. It was just an awkward interaction with this guy and I just laughed in his face. Yeah. How often are you almost falling over? Are you good?

Yeah. It was weird. It was like he took one small step and like forgot how big his feet were or something and like just like tripped over himself kind of. But I thought he was like mimicking. At this point, I think I'm pretty sure now I'm remembering, I think this guy was kind of ranting about some politic political thing or something. Okay. And so I thought maybe he was like talking about like, these people are bumbling idiots or something. Turns out it was just him.

So I don't know. You're like, yeah, like a bumbling idiot. Uh, uh, oh, oh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. Me too. Then West 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. Anyway, good times with the semi, man. Good times with the semi. Mm-hmm. I have a life hack that I've discovered. I love life hacks. I haven't named it yet. But here's the discovery.

At the top of my steering wheel, here's the problem, was that the, whatever, fake leather covering my steerable was starting to come up. And so I'm trying to, like, cover it with, like, electric tape or something. I don't know. And then that comes up, and it's just nasty. And it's just, like, sticky on the top of your steering wheel. Oh. bummer. Then I was like, doy, they make steering wheel covers. Yeah. And this is like such a like, because I texted glide or our Tesla guy here. And I was like, hey, how much to like redo this?

I'm sure it's a common problem. He's like, yeah, this is a pretty common problem. Unfortunately, it's pretty annoying. It's like three grand to like redo the steering wheel. I was going to say, it's got to be crazy expensive. Yeah, that didn't surprise me. You can just redo the leather for $70 or something. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe I would have done that. Yeah. So the alternative is just like a steering wheel cover. Now, I didn't get like a pink fuzzy one or anything. I got like a sleek. Oh yeah. You know, just like black one. How are they making them these days? I don't know. This is my first one ever. Amazon? Yeah, Amazon. Uh-huh. First one ever. I'll tell you what. It feels like a new car. Really? Just getting a steering wheel cover. Okay. And so my my takeaway here is I've had this happen

once before. And it's like you don't upgrade your phone at all, but you get a new phone case. And it feels like a new phone. Okay. I think there's something very valuable in tactile feeling and like what that tells your brain. Like one of the only parts you come in contact with your car is the steering wheel. That is the main aspect of where you touch it. So like if you improve that or give that a different sensation, same thing with the back of your phone. You know, like that's what you're holding the most of.

Only one finger touches the screen. Yeah. The whole hand touches the back of the phone. It's unbelievable. Every time I put my car in gear and, I go, oh yeah, I forgot. I forgot about you. Give you an extra squeeze.

How thick is this new cover? Because I had one in high school. It is thick. And I, it was kind of fun, but it was also like, I wanted to, like, I tried to, like, convince myself that it was better than it was. But yours is, but that's why I was curious. Like, maybe these days they're making, you know, slim cut. It's not super slim.

It's thicker, but I don't know. It's not, I don't know. It's not like making you feel like it's hard to. I can't grip it. Like could you connect your thumb and your index finger around it? Yeah. Yeah, it's not too bad. Yeah.

It just feels premium. It was like the cheapest option on Amazon. I'm like, yeah. See what the highway has for us to do. Have you seen those like a leather seat like covers basically? Like you can like. They can have been in Uber's when they have stuff like that. Okay. I've always been curious.

Like that's another thing that makes it look cooler, I guess. But I'm like, I don't know if. I feel you gotta do it right. Yeah. You know, but like, yeah, that could transform the way your car looks. Yeah. So.

Okay. The car feels nice right now. Yeah. Just by adding a little leather or something to the steering wheel. That's huge because now you don't have that sticky. That would be really annoying to have that. Yeah. But I didn't have that for like a year where it's like,

oh, don't touch the top of your steering wheel. Why didn't I fix this? You get melted or like what? Yeah, probably. Wow. Crazy. Okay. Congrats on the hack.

You got any hacks time? I love. I know you love hacks. I mean, I think of some. You mentioned phone. I got a, probably a couple months ago, a mat screen protector for my phone, where it's like, I don't know if you can see. I'm trying to like find the camera. It's like, it's not glossy. It reflects light like in a, okay. Hard to show on screen, but it makes it feel more premium. Okay. It's fun. Like I recommend it's just less, it almost feels a little different to the thumb. I don't know. That's a hack. Relatable. Relatable. Yeah.

It's, it's fun. Y'all, I get, borderline, I don't, I don't have a screen protector because I'm so scared

of putting a screen protector on wrong. Huh. You guys ever feel that? I'm cleaning out the house. You know, last night I found you probably see on my kitchen counter.

There is a brand new, never used screen protector in its case, because I think I bought it and I just never worked up the courage to do it myself. It's been there a year. Yeah.

And it's been sitting there since last night. I'm thinking, Today the day. I don't think today's the day. I don't have it today. I know. There's something about like,

because if you mess it, it's supposed to get on there. So it's supposed to stick so well. But I'm like, so if you do it wrong, I don't know. The first time, do you remember,

this is making us sound older than time, probably. So time and back in the day, when screen protectors first came out, I remember they were crazy expensive. Do you remember this? Like, I feel like nice ones now

are still kind of expensive. Like how much? I don't know, like 65 bucks or something like that. Yeah. I don't go find how much money. I feel like the, yeah, I remember like you could, the first place I heard about it was like at the Sprint store. Like, yeah, that's where you always got, yeah. We can install it for you, you know,

it's 80 bucks. And I'm like, oh my gosh. And so then I see that you can like buy them yourself now and all this stuff. And I'm like, yeah, but if I do that wrong, I'm wasting a bunch of money on this. It is scary. That is another, okay, looked it up. Yeah, 60 for like the blue light protector. There's got to be, I found, that's got to be a crazy markup. What I, got and I've had no issues and it was a two pack for 16 bucks. Yeah, but how protected is it? That's another live pack of mine. If you get a good screen protector like one of these, I'm big pain of Zag, Zaggy, it's like lifetime warranty. This will not crack your screen. This will crack first. And when it does, we'll send you a new one. It's great. You get that. You don't

need a phone case. I think nowadays with like the titanium phones. The back of them will crack because they don't have the. There's like stronger. Also, don't drop your phone. also yeah if you never drop your phone then you're good also I have like no sympathy for people that's ever dropped it like you've had an accident before not me huh okay who you considered not be better I don't know what to tell you don't follow so close anyway yeah I just yeah for that reason I had a screen protector once and it like started coming up on the bottom right and I was like never mind I'm not doing this forget this I'll just won't drop my phone or I'll put the case around it that if I drop it, it won't.

When's the last time you put your own screen protector on? I never have. That's what I'm saying. I'm terrified. Okay. So here's what I'm terrified. I don't I don't want to. I really I there's something like it just that that kind of thing. I am not good at like being super exact without some kind of like uh like like with woodwork. It's like there's a there's you can push one side up against something. So it's like I know where I'm, I got one standard edge. There's like finality to it.

I don't know. Like, I'm just, I'm just trying to cut this. You feel that? No, because this, it came with a, it comes with a whole kit. This is what I was going to tell, Brad. Things have changed. Your phone is fully, like, strapped into a. Strapped is a strap.

It's tied up. There's budgy cords and a ratchet strap. Yep. And yet, once you tighten it up, you go, that thing's not going anywhere. But it goes in like a tray, basically, where it's like, it's not going to move around because it knows the size of your phone. And then. You know, the protectors in one side.

You, like, close the tray. I can't remember exactly, but it's like... Maybe I should just go and do this live now. It's not... We're doing it live. Too hard. With the modern technology, because it's all strapped in. Yeah, back to the day, it, like, had to be a, like, Verizon employee doing it for you.

And they were just, like, raw dogging it. I mean, just no tools, no straps. And that's why I imagine that it's so hard is because of that. And now they have definitely made it easier. I mean, there's still... You could still screw it up. You could get it wrong. You could not do a good job getting the air bubbles out.

Yes. Yes, dude. Paralyzes me, man. Yeah, it's not for everybody. The fear of failure paralyzes me from action. It's not for everybody. Am I wrong, though, that it's not awfully hard to take it off

if you do mess it up? Well, that's what I don't know, dude. That's what I'm... It seems like it's so permanent. Right? Once you strap... I don't go back. Once you really like...

Try to iron out all those air bubbles and it's like, never mind. I'm going to try to make sure this adhesive works twice. And then it lasts for... ever, basically. Yeah.

I have said this on the podcast once before, but I want to say it again because it's so amazing. Our friend Emily Duckworth had a screen protector on her phone and it got run over. It got like somebody parked on her phone. Like she couldn't find her phone anywhere. She was looking in the McLean's parking lot with Catherine. They finally find her phone underneath somebody's tire. And this woman backed up.

They picked up her phone and it was completely shattered, but it was just a screen protector. And they took the screen protector off and it was fine. Pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Pretty cool. So maybe it's worth it. No. My life hack, this is one that's like, do I even share this because I know, people judge me

all the time anyway. That's fine. And I'm not going to do this like for a long time, for the record. But in this Airbnb right now, you know, I bought the house and it has, it had two waste management, deaf and bought, like the local waste management company dumpsters. I'm not, I'm not paying for that yet. but I had two dumpsters full of stuff. I just put them out on trash day.

They came in him to. I'm like, like in my head, I'm like, are these, are these trashmen really like having a GPS saying not this house, not, I think there's going down the street and they see.

That's our trash company. Yeah, they see, they acquire the target. Yeah. When do they, when do they like refresh? When do they command our their route and be like,

are they stop paying? We're done picking it up now. I don't think they ever. I don't think those guys do. that. There's no, there's no way they have a GPS that's like, you got to go. I think it's more just go down this road and do this, do like, the neighbors next to me have it. And so I'm like, so once again, I don't, I don't think I'm going to take advantage with them forever, but at least in the short run, I was like, I'm just going to see if they take them out here. It's kind of a fun,

just curious, like, test, like, yeah, what do they know of? Like, so like, if you were to stop, if I were to stop right now paying my Casey Disposal bill, eventually would they take the bins from me. Maybe that's the repercussion. So the drivers don't know. I don't. Maybe they would. Maybe they would. That's fair. Like it's like, this is our property. But there was one time, there's a little bit of storage, no, garbage wars in Shawnee. It's not like city of Shawnee garbage. It's like, get whatever service you want. Yeah. And so back when we first moved in or shortly after,

you know, this company came. We're like, hey, we'll give you service for 20 bucks a month. I'm like, oh, I'm paying a lot more than that with this one. And so I call up Deffenbaugh, and they're like, oh, we'll do it for $18 a month. I'm like, what? Why are you charging me this? And now you're charged me. Yeah, it actually kind of like looks bad. It's like, oh, you could have charged me 18 this whole time.

This whole time. And maybe they're just panicking because these people are taking on our business. But so then I think I used Deffinba. I don't remember. But then eventually I was like, I am going to go with this other service because they're cheaper or whatever. And they're like, all right, well, you have to pay $50 for us to come pick them up. I'm like, I'm not paying you $50 to come pick them up.

I'm not doing it. doing that. I'll take it myself if I have to. I never did. And so now I still have, I mean, I, I, I, I, you now use them again. Anyway, all to say, I'm getting, I'm getting my money back. The moment you've been waiting for is here. GMC's truck month is on.

GMC dealer today and make it yours this is great so just in the last 48 hours I have been doing my seller's disclosure oh yeah big documents I've never sold a house where it's my first time doing this you know Peter my realtor was like hey everything's digital of course you do have to like this is eight pages you have to fill it out all by hand And then we'll scan it, send it off. It's like, oh, that's kind of funny. He had, you had to fill out a seller disclosure by hand? Maybe that's just their company's policy.

Yeah, I had to do it all by hand. And it's, it's lengthy. Yeah. I was told Peter, I was like, like, Rachel took a turn. I took a turn. I was like, there's multiple authors over, like, we took this to Iowa with us.

Like, this is like, this is cross state lines, multiple pins that were used. Oh, so he didn't, like, walk it through with you. You, like, filled it out. Oh, I asked some questions along the way. But no, he wasn't like with me. He was like, here, take this. we don't need it for a while.

Okay. But, um, so that's one of the things on there is like, who do you get your gas through and what's their phone number? So a lot, a lot of research. Come on.

Yeah. You need their phone number. What if, what if there's, it's called Kansas gas. I think we're all getting it from the same people. Yeah, look up all this.

Um, yeah, you got through all this before. Yeah. You sold a house before. I mean, yeah, but it was,

it took five minutes with my realtor. Oh, really? Yeah, it was really easy. And I took a while. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's why I'm, he like filled it out on his iPad and had me sign stuff.

That's why I'm sorry. Oh, that's nice. That is happened to you. Oh, well, it was. Peter's a good guy. Oh, yeah. Peter's great. We'll get to how great Peter is. And he might be here. He said he's going to stop by this morning, so maybe we'll see him soon. But there were parts that emasculated me a little bit, just stuff that I should probably know about my house that I don't. No, don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't be ashamed of not knowing things. We're not confidence and humility. Right. Yeah. That's our thing. That's the title is.

That's right. That's what we say. One of them was like, I think something we even talked about last week. You're like, you should probably know where your shut off valve is. Okay. You know, they're asking about that. Where's the location of the water shut off? I'm going, all right, let me take a look. Well, what?

Also, how do you just, you need coordinates or what? Like, upstairs, downstairs. Near the pipe. That's a lot. Yeah. Follow the main line. Like, whatever. Like, you'll find it.

What's the, what's the proper answer? What do you mean water shut off? Does the sink work? The faucet? Yeah, I just turn the sink. I just push the sink down. You push it up to turn on. It's pretty simple.

Did you end up finding it somewhere? I have 80% confidence that I found it. I found something that looks like a water pipe and it's got some. Here's how you know. You turn it off and then you see if water comes out of anything. Well, there's 20% chance. I'm like, dude, who knows what this is? Who knows what I'm cranking?

Fair. Call up the gas company. It's all in the basement now. What's their number? I don't know. That's fair. Yeah, you know. That's not a masculine, though. That's just ignorance, I guess.

I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it's like you feel like this maybe desire to know everything about, you know, this is my house. I bought this house. Other questions. And now the electric electricity pipes in your house are those, there's copper, there's galvanized. And like, I don't know. I don't deal with the pipes.

Probably not electricity pipes. See, and I don't even know how to phrase the question. Plumbing pipes? Yeah, what kind of your plumbing pipes? I don't know if you have a, maybe you have electricity pipe. Anyway, yeah, yeah, galvanite, yeah. That's something you could just say, I don't know, right? Oh, if there was an unknown box, I checked it.

Is there not one? Yeah. Oh, only for certain questions can you say unknown? And I checked it 100% of the time. I have no idea. Yeah. Yeah, when's the last time, you know, signs of habit. Unknown.

I don't know. Not on me. Yeah. If you truly don't know, yeah, just say, I don't know. A lot of questions like that. When was the last time you were air conditioning was serviced? Good question. Uh, 2021.

Yeah. Start a date. Who's going to check? Jack. So I got some stuff wrong. But how pumped were you when they said? And when was the roof? Like, last. Oh, I nailed that. That was the question I thought first. I'll tell you right now. I went to the roof question. I was like, where's the roof one? I know that one. Weathered wood. Weathered wood. Yeah. And it's fun. Not fun's the right word. I mean, you have to go through every single item in your home, kind of, and say whether it's staying or going or exempt or operating. Conveys. That's what they call. That's the fancy like real estate word. Does this convey with the house? Or do you just convey? Yeah. Like the oven? Are you talking about convection oven?

Because I don't know what that is either. It convecks. Now, is that gas or electric? It works. Yeah, it gets hot. It's hot when I ask it. What do you need? Yeah.

I made a few executive decisions. I did my own little dibs or trash, kind of on the seller's disclosure. One of them being this TV that's mounted in this podcast studio that we hardly ever use, I said, it's staying. Hopefully that's not a deal breaker. I'm like, this TV, it's a high sense brand. It's worth, I don't know. know, $60?

That's going to really move the needle for them. Oh, like, why don't we just keep it? Yeah. I don't want to take it down. He doesn't, you know, it's, yeah, just keep. That's hilarious. Yeah. That was the one thing I felt a little weird about.

I was like, yeah, maybe the hell it'll be annoying. But you know what? I wasn't told my chimney wasn't connected or a lot of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that dumpster, half of what I threw away the dumpster last week was the previous homeowner stuff. I mean, just like outdoor furniture that we never used that was disgusting that they left behind.

It conveyed, though. They conveyed the chicken wire in the basement because they used to have rabbits down there in that nasty space. I just throw their chicken wire away. I had to throw all the paint they left behind, all this wood they left behind. So I'm doing just, I'm leaving it better and I found it. Yeah, it feels like, and maybe, maybe there is this, but like, it feels like they should get penalized for leaving stuff. I should go after him now. Rather, no, yeah.

But like, like, I understand, like, once you own, like, at a certain date and time, you own this house and anything in it is yours. Like, in other words, like, if they leave, if you leave all your furniture here and you don't move it in time, it's like, sorry. But on the flip side, if you leave anti-furniture. Yeah. Like, you left a bunch of trash. Like, that's, that should not be allowed.

And maybe it's not. And I just don't know. I haven't heard stories about it. But yeah. But yeah, it's kind of just, I'm just like walking through the house. It's like, is this connected or is this like, does this convey? Do I want to convey? Yeah.

And you would leave pretty much all the appliances and all that stuff. Yeah, they're going to get the Bondi deep freezers. Oh, nice. Okay. Figured. Yeah. Why not? That's kind of fun.

They're already there. They work great. It's going to leave the dehumidifier in the basement. They're going to need it. And they get an electric vehicle charging station if that's, you know, if they need that. Or an RV station. Yeah, or an extra dryer. Yeah, if you're doing an electric dryer, you know.

Electric dryer. Or, table. Have you used 220 table saw? Yep. Or I have no idea. Or you want to charge your phone really fast. You can plug in an oven back out there. You could make some pizza on the driveway.

Turn that one car garage into a little pizza oven. That would be fun. You get the whole restaurant there. You got freezer. Yeah, you got a little hot and cold there. Got a fridge out there. But yeah, going through that. And so, yeah, it's been kind of a crazy week.

I think we've each had crazy weeks for different reasons. I mean, you got crap in your basement, trying to figure out contamination levels and everything. I, Tuesday morning, at 10 a.m., Peter calls me and says, hey, kind of crazy. I was just at my office just telling people that we're about to do a pre-MLS. I don't even fully understand it. But we're like just starting the process.

He's like, a buddy of mine overhears me and goes, hey, I've got a client who's looking to buy a house. in that area. Peter's like, so long story short, I think you're going to get an offer on the home in the next 48 hours. I was like, okay. Oh my gosh, sweet. And he's like, typically these offers, if they're going pre-malous, they want it bad, they're going to, you know, it's going to be a pretty good offer typically. So, so hey, good news. I was like, awesome. At 1030 a.m. I'll convey that. I have a call with a potential investor in Friday Pickball. It's actually a ghosty. Shout out, this ghosty. Yes.

And it's an amazing call. Yeah, he's just such an awesome guy. I get to connect him with Matt. And he's like, hey, I really like you guys. I want to actually double my initial investment. You know, this is going to be awesome. I'm going to go, gosh, best morning ever. I can't believe this investment.

The house is going to sell at 1107-ish a.m. We find out via the press, like via an article, which all big press breaks at the dink pickleball. Dang. Yeah, Schefter. Yeah, Schefter. And it says that basically one of the biggest brands at Pickleball, Yola, the name of the company, they are suing us and 10 other brands.

And we go, whoa, that seems not good. This seems serious. Yeah, what's the lawsuit? We found out since then. I really shouldn't say too much about it, but I think I can't say like, we have, we, you know, immediately seek legal counsel. So we went to hire these New York attorneys that they're patent lawyers. They've actually, they've represented Apple, like Apple computers.

I mean, it's an Apple orchard. I should have double-checked, actually. Well, there's a lot of them up there. I bet apples are, you know, is our seed. It looks exactly like my Apple. Right. How do you approve it? This name's Johnny.

I don't know. They represented some Apple company. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know which one on patent stuff. They needed seed money and you're like, okay. Yeah, I'm like, this is still not helping. Yeah, it makes sense. I still don't know which one.

Uh-huh. They're like, yeah, like wine country, California. I'm like, that still could be either. I still don't know where you've worked. Okay. What it does. Yeah. Yeah, we branched out into Napa Valley.

I'm like, that's your Silicon. You're like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I still don't. Okay. All right. My granny. And they said a couple things. One was like, they advised us to no longer text about this.

Yeah. They were like, yeah. This is, I mean, this could very easily go to trial. Yeah. You guys could be on trial in your phone. are evidence, everything's admissible. Phone calls only. Like, oh, dude, I feel like a criminal, dude.

Like, suddenly I'm just like, hide your phone. Well, or just, yeah, just like, don't give them any, like, accidental. That's what, whenever Ted, text was me that thing last week of like, hey, a tech was going to call you. I thought about being like, what, what did you do? And then I was like, well, I can't text with that or else somebody's going to see that. Anyway. Another thing they told us was like, so technically right now, this is not even a lawsuit.

Like, that's kind of the buzzer. word, like that's the easiest way of describing it. This is actually a complaint with the International Trades Commission. Okay. And they basically said, in their words, this is exceptionally rare. That was the words they chose. Oh, wow. So it's pretty serious.

We're going to be fine. You know, eternal optimist. Yeah. They said we're going to be fined and you heard. Okay, then. Hey, I knew it. You guys are going to give, you guys are going to be fined. It's going to be pretty serious fines.

I told you. guys we were so fine. I told you, we're super super good for fine. I'm serious. It's fine. It's fine. That's what I'm saying, guys. Good. I'm glad we're on the same thing. We're talking previous royalties. I know we're like royalty guys. Yeah, we are we are top dog. Pickleball Prince is over here, boy. Yeah. We're gonna be fine. Yeah, I don't know who they are or what they said. But it was just, I mean, what an up

and down day. Wow. Yeah. And so that's really all that's all that we've been dealing with or doing the last 48 hours. But in that same time, though, the guy did officially put it off her on the home. So it's like, this is amazing. This is great.

Already? Yeah. That's amazing. Like, why is this guy went to his house so bad? Are you going to accept it? Is there like oil in my backyard that I don't know about?

Like, should I be digging? Is there gold? Wow. No, but it is, I mean, praise God. That is really exciting. So, are you going to accept it? I think so.

He checked, permission to talk realtor stuff with you real quick. Yeah, yeah. Time in, you check box one? I'll go. Okay.

Which do we like box one, Tymon? Or would we prefer a different box that he checked? I think that's fine. I mean, there's only three options, so.

That's true. I was going to say, I think it's true. Yeah. I'm going to stop there while I'm right. But box one's pretty good. Box one's what I had

and they did it, the inspection, and that's when they found the mold and got out. But box one's still fine. I'm curious. Well, I don't know. I don't know enough about all this stuff. But like, it's coming soon to MLS. So is he selling it off mark? I don't know how that works. I don't know.

They check box one, which means they want to take it as is pending the inspection. Like, they're not going to ask me. Yeah. They're not going to nickel and dime me on like little things in the inspection. It's either pass fail. They either want it or they're completely out. But they also wrote something else in there. They're like, they're only going to back out if something in the inspection is going to cost over $4,500. So I'm like, Glad I got the root fixed. That would have been a bit of a liability. So otherwise, I think we're fine.

Okay. That's good. I also am like, somebody's going to be able to sit. Not, not, but the skeptic in me is like, you can find a contractor to quote you $4,500 for anything. Oh, Miguel? Yeah. Oh, yeah? Yeah, just in Miguel's time.

I mean, it's going to take him 28 days to do it. Yeah, galvanized pipe for that electricity. Yeah, it's going to be a $4,500 fix. 4501. It's like, that's a little too close. Oh, that's too bad prices, right? What are you, Bob Barker buying this house? Okay, so is this guy buying it for himself?

Do you know? Is he a good guy? Are you sicking me with some good people? I didn't think about sicken you with good people. You got to sick me with good people. I think he's a younger-ish guy. He's going to have a roommate. And that's it.

Great. That's all I know. I like roommates. Yeah. Okay. I'll take it. So, yeah, that's kind of been. That's a lot going on.

But it's, um, last thing I'll kind of say about it. I've been reading it over the past week. When I went to Paola, I'm talking to Rustin Dowd and some other people and they're like, how's Friday doing? I'll go, it's great. It's awesome. Right now it's a fun challenge.

Very quickly, I went from stand-up comedian to like still content creator, but, you know, mainly just making silly pickle-baw videos to now, like, we're all trying to figure out this like global expansion thing. Like, how do we grow a brand? And Russent's like, dude, you got to read Shoe Dog. Oh, yeah. And I was like, what's Shoe Dog? And he's like, it's the memoir of the creator, the founder of Nike.

Phil Knight. And how he created Nike. He's like, it sounds so similar to everything you were telling me right now. Really? And so I'm like, sweet, I'll read it. Harrison overhears this. You guys talk a shoe dog? He goes, I've read that book five times.

I go, I didn't know a dog could do that. Got to integrate it. So what was funny, I read the entire book in a week. And with every paragraph, I'm thinking, Harrison's already read this five times. That's crazy. to read a memoir five times. But I think he was exaggerating.

I think he's read it five times. Wow. But this story, to really quickly summarize it, there's just, it's constant trial and error, which I think what makes a good story. And it's almost always it's legal trial and error. It's like cash flow issues. This company wants to back out.

The FBI is investigating us. And so two kind of funny things is one, it's just like the day after I finished shoe dog was when we got our just biggest, I mean, the darkest day, you know, in Friday history. We're going to be fine. I really do believe that. but I was like, this is my shoe dog.

This is a chapter in the book someday. That scary, though. Like, from what they're telling us, from what we understand, it's just like, this isn't just like some district court lawsuit. This is international trade commission is a big deal. And it's a federal thing where, like, if this were to really go down the path, like Donald Trump himself would have to sign off on this. You know, it's just like, this doesn't happen.

He's pickler. He would love you guys. But no, we really will be fine. It's not going to bankrupt the company. Nothing changes. still go to Phoenix, you know, still very much excited about what we're building here. But it's just kind of funny. It's just like after you read this entire book about like all these troubles, like, wow, now it's our turn.

Yeah. This is definitely a chapter, if not a couple, in the Friday memoir someday in the Friday documentary. Yeah. Hey, we're sponsored today and always by the folks. And I say folks very lovingly. Like I don't call everybody folks. One of the better F words. Yes.

And then the other just kind of funny thing is when I finished shoe dog, like on Monday, obviously I'm feeling the sense of pride towards Nike. I'm like, that's so cool. And he's talking about how they went public and how they did. I go, I should check on Nike stock. I wonder how they're doing now.

The day I finished it, Nike. So I look at their stock. Okay, it's sharing a, this okay and then you could click on that's just daily that's what it did daily then you click on one week then you click on one month then you click on one year or whatever it just the graph keeps getting worse on monday the Nike stock was at its lowest point in five years really like the one time I've ever checked Nike stock let's see how it's doing so I was like I guess buy the dip but truly the low I was like what are the odds of that it's at its lowest point in five years

five years the day I finished the Nike memoir did you look into that like why no it's bury my head in the sand kept going. That's so interesting. Yeah, I have no idea why. I don't know if it just did the market as a whole or what, but. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, I was like,

Anna Lee, she's not moving the needle for him. Right? Good job. Picklebo. Pickleball people. Ah! ALW!

Times Nike. Oh, nickname, ALW. Yeah, that's a good one. Anyway, that's my dog stuff. That's like so parallel in different ways to my yeah basement story where it was like this like fun thing happened at church and then I'm sitting there like just like life is great and then all of a sudden it's like now here we go it's coming buckle in yeah so dude I did laugh probably like we recorded this podcast last Thursdays day or whatever and I thought

it was behind us and then like like Friday maybe like the day after I saw the boy city boys were back out of the street again I was like oh yeah yeah no they were just like I think they were I think they were word they used was patching but Like they, yeah, they did. They put like a big old metal plate. I don't know enough about construction. I honestly, it would be pretty fun to learn.

Like, some of the things they're doing and like all this stuff. But like, they put a big like metal plate over like the whole basically. It's like obviously you don't have metal plates just permanently in there. So then they took the metal out, I guess cemented over it. I don't know how they do that though.

That's what I'm curious is like, how do you like the road is not, you know, as thick as like there's. I don't know. I've described this. Like, there's sewage, like way down. There's like a pipe way down there. And so it's like, they cut this massive hole.

They don't fill the entire thing with cement, right? They have got to leave some space. And so how do you do that? How do you make it only go so far down? Maybe you, I don't know. That's where I'm getting a little bit confused right now in my head. Does that make sense? Yeah.

Like, how do you float that much road? Yeah. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not, I don't know. That's what I'm like. That's what I'm kind of curious about this stuff. That's galvanized pipes for you. That's galvan.

Yeah, so got all the sellers of scrolls or stuff. That's great. Oh, one other thing I'll say. And then I could truly type over on this. The one thing about this guy's offer, the other like little caveat is he wants, he needs us to close about like 10 days before we're planning on leaving. It's like, okay, get a little creative, figure it out.

Yeah. Um, but kind of funds serendipity. He, he wants to be in this house by May 28. Yesterday, that same day that the offer came in, I got told or I got offered to be in a pilot, I'm going to like that word. Um, like Christian comedy TV show. Yeah, pilot. It's shooting in Dallas, May 28th.

Oh, wow. So there's a lot of things going on right now. But yeah. Don't think about that. Great. I guess we'll sell the house. we will move. The show that I helped with,

and you're just not telling me. Oh, Christian comedy TV show, filming in Dallas. Sounds familiar. I guess I didn't get the invite back to operate the camera. They wanted me not to tell you. Wait, tell me more about this.

It's season two. Now, that's super cool. Is this with what's his name? Ryan? Could be. No. Okay. With that company?

Do you remember, because I was talking to Peter about it, we showed our K-Life kids back then. Remember that documentary Beware of Christians? I remember about... These kind of these Baylor guys, A&M guys, they made kind of their own, like,

very run and gun, you know, just documentary. Okay, yeah. Back of the day. Anyway, one of those guys has really continued to stay in Hollywood or production and has made a lot of, like, Christian stuff.

And I wasn't super familiar with it, but I feel like some people would maybe know it. Believe me, you would know that movie? I feel like I had seen the cover before so whatever but he's done shows, movies, whatever very legit he just hits me up one day

he was like we're trying to cast funny Christian people this kind of like biblical comedy that we wrote wonder if you want to do it wow dude that's cool and so anyway I was like all right this is kind of fun I don't know when Rachel's last day to her work is exactly but

it's like maybe we pack up we go to Dallas for a few days shoot the show, go live with Isaac for a few days while, you know, we still have the Elate the house and just like, I don't know, go homeless for like 10 days. Yeah, just like pack up all your, just live out about the suitcase maybe? I don't know what the plane is. We got time to figure it out, but. Or why, why wouldn't you just go to Phoenix early? Because on June, like, 7th or something like that, there is a big pickleball tournament

that we really want to be at that's in St. Louis. I was like, ah, don't really want to move away of Phoenix just to come back to Missouri. Yeah. A week, nine days later. So it's like, it kind of makes sense to stick around here. Got it. Until St. Louis is over. Interesting.

Slum it up. Well, congrats, bro. Thank you. So when's the other house? What's the movement on that? Nothing. I think it's like, wait until we move and the house is empty. Like, wait until it was, give those guys time to move out.

Yeah. And then we will, like, stage the house once it's empty. Got it. And part of me, I need to talk to Peter about this. I'm like, right around the time we're going to be like staging this house is going to be kind of like World Cup season. Do we rent it out? That also might be more trouble than it's worth. I don't know.

I mean, you have to furnish it. Yeah, but could this, could the staging work as like furnishing? Like if they're going to put a bed and stuff in there. That'd be interesting. I don't know. It might not be worth it, though. You might lose all the money. Stagers probably wouldn't want you to do that.

But maybe you find the right one or you pay enough money. Yeah. It's probably more trouble and it's worth. but I did have that thought. It's like the timing of having a completely empty house right when the World Cup gets here for the first time ever. It's like, should I capitalize on this? Or maybe just wash my hands?

I mean, it would definitely be a viable. Like, you just have to furnish it. Yeah, whatever. You have to think about like. A bunch of air mattresses and stuff. What if? Just like. Sleeps 48.

Sleeps 72 people. It's like bunk bed air mattresses everywhere. Yeah, sleeps 48. Just a bounce house. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, because I'm like, all the things that I'm thinking about with all this. It's like you've got to have.

And maybe it's just like keep the roommate stuff there for a while. But yeah, it's like you got to have plates and cups and dishware and all that. Yeah. Or, you know, cookware. Also pretty far from the World Cup. I don't know if rentals that far are going to.

I looked at some actually kind of close to that house and they were still charging a lot. I don't know if they're getting booked or not, but it's crazy. I think it's just like if it's in Kansas City, it's in play. It's hot cabbage. It's hot cabbage.

I hope. I hope it's all real and not just a bunch of hype. I hope you get some cabbage. Me too, dude. I would love some cabs. It would be great. That's crazy, though. A lot of stuff going on. Big week, yeah. Yeah. I had a, what's the word? A little instance. Deja vu. I did not have deja vu about the dunk tank. I was at Retail Rebel. You know, and had some issue with like my invoice, whatever. Usually when you get there, you like go and you enter in your information, they print you off something. It's like a treasure map.

And you have to go to A419. You have to go to A419 and find your stuff. Like being at Costco or like, you can tell me the exact aisle and I don't really know how to find that. It's pretty fun. The other day I took Hattie with me and she really enjoyed like finding the stuff. That's fun. Anyway, the...

So we call on you? Talk to him. Sorry, Jordan. It's ghosty Jordan. Jordanology. Hey, yeah, goes to you. What's Taylor Swift up to do? Oh, hey, what's...

What do you call her? 12. What's her number? She's big in? TB 12. What's T.S.12 doing? Isn't Taylor Swift? Is it 13?

13. 13. What's T.S. 13. What's I going to say? Oh, anyway, I had some issues with the computer, so I went and asked his lady to print off my invoice for me, and she's like, and by the way, that printer, it's just going to take a while, but it's going to come out.

It's just an Asian printer. What? and she's like, she's a little bit of a rougher lady, you know, whatever, like, I asked her,

like, where she grew up and she's like, everyone thinks I'm from somewhere else, but I'm growing up right here in Kansas City, you know. She talks like that. Yeah, she's kind of like,

it's kind of my dad's thing too. It sounds a little smokerish, like, yeah, anyway, which is fine. She's a nice, nice lady,

but as she goes, yeah, it's just an Asian computer. I'm like, or Asian printer. And I'm like, do you say Asian printer? And she goes,

ancient. And I was like, oh, Oh, okay. Oh, like Ming Dynasty. Got it. It's both. And this is like worker later, she was like,

I thought you said Asian too. And I was like, I don't know if you should say that. It's like, you said Asian printer? I think Sony's a good brand. That's fine. All printers are Asian printers. Pretty sure. Do you remember that story when I, uh,

I think we went with our families. It's like the triplets and the coupes. We went to one of those, um, game show rooms. Oh, yeah. do. Yeah. And the guy said that he had, you guys are way more fun. The crew before you was a bunch of agents or whatever.

And we all thought he said Asians. I was like, geez, dude. But he was talking about State Farm agents. Agents. We didn't say State Farm. He said Asians. Asians. And so then they make you write like your name tag and give yourself,

or I think team name or something. And we were like boring Asians. Like he broke the seal. We could say, he said it. unknowingly, he's like, these guys are weird. These guys are racist. That don't make any sense. They're clearly not.

And so we did eventually clear that up, you know, 55 minutes into knowing this guy. We're like, no, we thought you said it. He's like, I didn't know what that meant. I was so confused this whole time. I'm like, geez. Yikes, dude. He was like trying to be professional, but yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Agents. Yeah, a bunch of boring agents. Can't say it too lazily. Anyway, but that was, yeah, ancient printer. ancient printer. And printer. All right, what do you want to say?

We have to talk about Cozy Earth now. We have to. I've talked about Cozy Earth now. Has Kyle given you anything recently? He's been, he's like three weeks in a row, giving me some, I don't think we have anything. Okay. He's probably still sleeping from Cozy Earth's,

like he's still, he's in hibernation. The guy has a bear. Yeah, he's been sleeping for so long. And that's what it will happen with Cozyer Sheets. That is what will happen. It's just, it, I'm trying to think. of what we could say that we haven't already said yet. I haven't talked about the robes recently.

Robe it up, maybe. Robitusson. I don't have one. I don't have one. But we gave them away last year at Ghostro's Getaway. In the treasure room. And they looked amazing. They kind of did.

They kind of do seem like the next level to life. It's time. You get to the 1% with the robe. If you have a robe like that one, do you use it to dry off and walk around in? Or do you dry off then robe? You know what I mean? Like it's kind of a towel robe. But I don't want to get too wet in that robe.

This episode is brought to you by Nespresso. Hear that? That's your next obsession. Every coffee, a new world. Every sip, a new taste. This is the new Nespresso. One touch, endless possibilities. Iced, flavored, long, short.

It's not even time for that, but I thought it was really funny. Go ahead. Let's do comments in the week. Let's do comments the week right now. It just cracked me up. We're talking last week about old people, saying things wrong. Oh, West Klanston was so good.

Emily something, Emily O. Esdman said, my grandpa always called COVID, the Kovus. And I don't think he was joking. Covis. That's so funny. I feel like there were a lot of people that would probably older people that would have said the COVID.

Yeah, the COVID. But the Kovas is so funny. Covis. Covis. Yeah, you got Kovas. What's train into the Kovas? Yeah, it's crazy. He wrote Uncle Gene? He's not coming.

He's Covis. He's quarantined in West Constant. He's Covis in Wisconsin. He's got Coventine in. Yeah, he was at Walmarts the other day and got Covis. So he's going to be watching a lot of Nelft flicks. The Covis is really funny. That is good.

My comment. Shoot, where to go? Tyler Tong, resident agent. He said, no matter how. It's so funny, but yeah, like he's so not Asian. but that name, I always thought of him that way before I met him. Tai Tong. Yeah.

No matter how rough my week is, you guys always make me laugh. And today was exactly what I needed. Love you guys. I'm Tyler Tong. Shout out, Tai Tong. Those are always beautiful comments. Yeah, always, always sweet. Shout out Tyler.

He sent me an Instagram reel over text and was just like, thought this was really funny, but it was even funnier that you liked it. And I was like, I like that. Feel free to send me anyone out there. If you see that I liked something, either call me out, like, why are you liking this publicly? or be like, I thought that was funny too. Timon, can I put you on the spot with my comment of the week? You can try?

I will try. I will try. This is the top comment. Oh. So people, I'm doing this for the people. Okay. I'm chill with the Phoenix move and all, but I just need to know what the future looks like for Tyman. Didn't hear enough from our favorite jingle star.

What? That's fine. Somebody's got to, you know, blaze the trail. you know yeah yeah someone's got to set set the interstate highway system in place for somebody to drive real fast on it all right yeah yeah you walk so he could express lane mm-hmm that's right yeah then didn't hear enough from our favorite jingle star about how this might change what his future looks like yes okay transparently not there's nothing fully officially decided but i'm visiting phoenix sometime soon hopefully gonna visit

visit the church there. Visit, like, see what you are visiting? I don't even know this. I'm hoping, like, I don't have like a date in mind, but I'm like, I'm wanting to visit some weekend, get a feel for like, because there's like an AC church in Phoenix. I'm like, I want to get a feel for what it would be like, community-wise and stuff.

I feel like that's super important. What area of town is the AC church? I'm not sure. I feel like I've looked at it before and it was maybe like 30, 40-minute drive or something like that. It's like not awful. But I don't know. We'll see.

but I'm hoping to like visit and like it's on the table for me to also move there but some things need to be figured out but like I think it'd be fun I don't know it's like I don't have a official it's probably why I didn't say much

just like I don't have an official thing that I'm doing but I'm definitely looking at maybe moving as well and you do have some plans set in stone for this summer yes you want to talk about those

yes have we're going to be gone also I think we did oh maybe it was on Patreon, we talked about it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm going back to Ohio for season two of your favorite show. Everyone's favorite show, Sugar Creek

Amish Mysteries. Which is not the movie called Sugar Creek Amish Mysteries. Obviously not. So if you're seeing an ad for Sugar Creek Amish Mysteries, it's a different... Yeah. It might be the same Sugar Creek Amish Mysteries. It's kind of like the Equalizer and The Equalizer. Or Shooter and Shooter.

And Shooter and Friday Night Lights. But if you do want to watch the movie, it's kind of a pilot, as talked about. Enough with a pilot. Oh, it's kind of, it kind of acts as the first, the takeoff of the show. Anyway, but yeah, I officially am hired

back. I think things will be a lot different, which I'm excited for. Like, I think the director of like the whole last season, who is like my friend, Sandra and her husband Isaac filmed it. Um, they're only doing the first two weeks. So then after that, it's like new people,

new, new, new, new production, new, whatever. So we'll see how it goes, but I'm maybe there for almost two months. They're doing that halfway through, or I guess not even halfway. Yeah, a quarter of the way through, it's going to like change the way through.

Like they're going to try to keep the same style probably, but I guess that probably happens. I mean, it'll be a different. I think that happens. I mean, people, you see TV shows are directed by different people. Yeah. But it's like,

I don't know how often, how common it is for like different director of photography, all that, but I'm excited. It'll be a fun time. Last time was like some of the most, most fun times of my life. So I'm like, it'll be great.

Yeah. I can't wait. Met Kurt. Met Kurt. I want to, yeah, we'll try to connect with Kurt. and get Kurt again. See what happens. Cool.

Yeah. So yeah. I'll be there for almost two months. Love it. There's my two things. Brad, what's on the table for you? Uh, nothing, man. Just coaching with Bow's baseball team a little, you know?

We've moved into baseball. Baseball season. Yeah. He was very. adamant that he wanted to wear his baseball pants to practice yesterday. Good. All right. That's fine. No other kid did, but hey, you got to look like the best to be the best, you know. I like that. I feel like wearing pants just makes you more aggressive because you're not scared to dive or slide or anything. Yeah, true. Dude, this field that he's on is on one hand, it's like out of, this is, this field looks awesome.

It's also completely turf. No bad hops. No bad hops. Amazing for infielders. I know. No bad hops. Like Catherine's like, next week he probably shouldn't wear his pants to practice. because he's going to get him dirty. He's got to wear him, you know, later that week for the game. I'm like, he's not going to get him dirty. Like, there's no dirt. He's playing on a carpet. Yes.

Yeah, it's wild. So is there no opportunities to even get your pants dirty? Like there's no dirt? No. Huh. It's probably not the worst thing for kids, but you got to get the jersey dirty. It's 100%, dude. I know.

It's like, on one hand, it's like, this is a beautiful, cool looking field. And it would have been cool as a kid. But also, I don't know if I would want this to be my standard. Yeah. Is this T-ball? Yeah. That's fun. Yeah.

I never did tee ball. There's an aspect of it that, like, obviously it's good. The ball is sitting still. But I think there is an aspect where it's like kind of hard to like put a good swing on a tea over now and then. I don't know. Something about it just sitting there. It's like golf or it's like a lot of pressure.

And if you miss the ball, it still kind of goes somewhere. If you just hit the tea and so it's like, you don't really, you shouldn't get rewarded for like get another swing at it. But yeah, should be fun. We'll see. I think, yeah, childhood baseball is one of the just greatest things. It's so fun. I know.

So yeah, nothing too crazy. I mean, stuff that's crazy, but yeah, just a lot of just grinding on stuff I got in front of me. Yeah. One of the week? We have to do time and kind of led with the comment. Yeah, I guess so. I'll go, I mean, multiple, I guess.

Easter, obviously, huge win, just in general. We can all say that as Christ's followers. Amen. So, yeah, sorry for Jesus, you can take in that one. Jesus hunting. luck, yeah, taking that win. But also the way that the whole Airbnb, like, renovation process works, there's a thing called the Burr strategy. Have I talked about this? I've heard about this. People who love, well, yeah, yeah, I've heard of it. So it stands, it's like B with a bunch of

R's. And honestly, I kind of get confused at that. But it's like buy, renovate, rent out, refinance, repeat, essentially. Like, restitution. So the idea is like you buy the house for cheap enough. You renovate it for cheap enough. And then you know, you refinance it. And if you raise the value enough, then, like, it gets appraise high enough, then you

can take that money that you made, like the difference and basically turn it into the next house. And you just keep rolling over. Right. You do this in the wintertime. And that's why you call it burr. Yeah, you only can do it in the winter. Yeah. And Phoenix is not really a common strategy. No, they call it the hiss strategy. Snake strategy. Yeah. It's a rattlesnake.

But anyway, it's stupid. I don't know. That's funny. But anyway, the appraiser came last week. The appraisal came back and it was really good. It was what I was hoping. It was honestly like better than I wanted it to be. So that's awesome.

It's too good. Yeah, maybe box one. They're going to have to get another appraisal over there. So I like worked really hard to like obviously make it look good. But also I had like this long packet of like all the information. they wanted and all these different, like, here's this property and here's how much they appraised that one. You know, all this different stuff to like basically try to justify my number thinking, like, if I aim high, maybe he'll meet somewhere close to it. And I aimed high and he like met that

number, which is great. So because of that, then I can take that money and reinvest into another house and just keep it going. So big, big time. So that's a big win for, yeah, all that stuff. And, yeah, I think those are my two wins. So, yeah. I'd say my, My obvious one was all the guys from Canada visiting, but I'll say bonus win. I guess this was win of last week, but wait of my parents' week was that I cut my mullet. I feel like that's probably like a good. That's a good win for them. The win of my parents' week.

Yeah. See, I don't even think I thought of it as a mullet. I thought yours was a good. I know. It's, I mean, it's a bit of a stretch to call it a mullet, but it was like, maybe it was just like subtle slash modern mullet. I don't know. It was like, but short on the sides. and like I had, and it also

depend on like, I could, I could make it more of a mollet if I wanted to back then. Like, I could like fluff it up. There was a decent amount of density back there. But I just kept it somewhat subtle. I guess I think of Mullets is a little bit longer. Like almost to your shoulders. But I think, I think, I think,

nasty. Yeah. The modern age of Mullets is a little more short. Yeah. But yeah, when of their week, I'd say. They were, yeah. And it was, it wasn't like they, it was always funny because like, sometimes they'd be just like man you should get haircut and I was like I'm getting I mean I get I get I get haircuts but I just like randomly was like you know I don't need to I like I like I want to change so I just like cut the back off but yeah I mean like that's like a requirement of parents to like give give a little bit of a hard time oh yeah something with your appearance like what are you what are you jeans so baggy or why are those jeans so tight or what are you doing it got holes in the jeans it's mainly jeans and hair get a hair get a hair you're

haircut. Yeah, that's my dad's like, what your hair so long? Get a haircut. It's so funny. Yeah. My grandpa's thing was always, uh, he hated that I bided my fingernails. Oh, yeah. Put your fingers out of your mouth. That was his only critique I heard my entire life. Yeah, he didn't really talk to me besides that. Put your fingers out your mouth. That's good. Yeah. I had to make sure they were, they were trimmed up before I went over to see grandma and grandpa all that way. I had no work to do. Good. Every once in a while, I mean, I still struggle with like biting my nails. Yeah, me too. I don't know happened the other day, but I chewed one too, too low, and I got like a, like a pain.

I know what you're talking about. And you think, I'm good at this. I do this. And I don't even remember biting it. Like, I don't, like, I was like, this one just like a phantom one. I don't know how it happened. But the next day it was like, Henry, you bite my finger around and it hurt really bad, too. Oh, man. Anyway. Yeah. Those are just things that come with it, but it's worth it. I agree. It's worth it. Yeah. So never have to know where your clippers are. Exactly. my one of the week, I feel like we've had hardly any time to watch it. I've watched like an episode and a half, but love on the spectrum, new season is out,

and it's so good. I think it's my favorite season yet so far. It's just, it's just a great show. It's just like a, yes, there are times that can be a little awkward, but it's like, it's just beautiful, this unscripted, perfectly casted, just amazing show where like these sweet people with amazing families are all just like doing a really good job. handling, navigating life, you know, while being on the spectrum. It's awesome.

We got a new guy this year. Logan, Logan's awesome. Logan might be your new guy. Yeah, Logan's my new guy. Do they have the same people come back? Every now, there'll be like recurring characters. I think it was one who's been in all four seasons, but typically they stay a season or two.

And is it, I haven't ever watched it, but is like basically they just follow their lives around? Yeah. It's not like they're all in one's like places. Yeah, they're all in different locations. So it's just like Logan's story takes place where he lives and, I'm guessing a crew probably follows each person around for me two weeks, and then they kind of post it all together. But yeah, yeah, and they're like kind of arranging things for them.

They might like set up like a speed dating thing, or they will find other people on the spectrum for them to go on dates with. And, you know, I was trying to encourage. They'll get him dating coaches. And anyway, yeah, Logan's just great. I mean, right off the bat, he's opening the door to like let them. It's like the opening, you know, as we get to meet him, hey, you must be Logan.

What are you up to? Opening the door. you know, just so literal. And I'm like, I get it. I do that too sometimes. Like, what do you want me to say? I'm opening the door. What am I up to?

You're this. I'm saying what's up to you? Yeah. What are you up to? What do you mean? What am I up to? That's good. Opening the door.

Walking a little bit backwards. So you guys can't change you're into my house? That's good. Yeah. I'm like, I really resonate a lot with Logan. I'm like, dude, I'm so literal. I might, I might be on this show someday. You and Rachel.

And then, you know, I think they're asking. I'm doing a little, like, just interview with him. All right. So, Logan, tell us a little about you, yada, yada. And how badly do you want to find love? He goes, right away. He just does that. And they go, is that a lot?

He goes, yeah. I can't get any bigger. This is as big as my fingers can go. So, yeah, you tell me. That's great. Awesome. Yeah. I badly want to find love.

Yeah, that's a lot. You guys quote that yet? I feel like that's a good inside joke with, like, you and Rachel, like, this much. Like, are you tired? Yeah, I'm exhausted. Just throw it up there. You tell me, double.

Double hands. Watch out. Long day. That's great. I love it. But yeah, just started watching it. It's so good. There's a cute Christian couple on there.

Tyler is a, he's a DJ and like radio host. He's got a pretty decent voice. And he's dating Madison. She's always wanted to find a nice Christian boy. So he's like this cowboy. She's a sweet Southern girl. And he serenades her just like, like sings to her at Living on Love, that old country song.

I don't know. But just dance and sing with her. It's just great. It's just a feel good show. Cool. So I'd recommend it anyone. Yeah. Anyone watch it.

I don't think I've ever heard anybody be like, I didn't really like that show. Like, I feel like everyone that watches it, loves it. Yeah, it's really good. That's cool. I don't have NeltFlex right now. I don't. I don't have a subscription. Conscription.

Govis. Yeah, ever since COVID's, I kind of had to limit the knelt. Covers. Nelflicts and chill. All right. Anything else? Anything else you guys want to get off your chest? Anything else?

Anything else? Going once. Hmm. Go on twice. Quick good ranchers question. Sure. This is for a good rancher's ad read, good ranchers, Merrick meat delivered, right to your door, blah, blah, blah.

You guys know the thing. What part of your home is your favorite? Oh, sorry, what part of our home? What part of our home? Basement. What part of your home is your favorite and why? I'm going to miss this TV. That's probably it for me.

How much I'm going to miss this TV? Convays, man. That thing conveys. Does Catherine sit upright? I'm going somewhere with this. Because I think my favorite parts of the houses are like chairs, love seats. I'm always sitting, working, typing. Rachel constantly horizontal.

She doesn't sit in any chairs. It's couch or bed for her. That sounds awesome. No, Catherine sits upright often. Sometimes, dude, she puts herself in positions that I think you could pay me $1,000, and I could not do that. Just to be comfortable, she's sitting in a crazy thing. She's having a conversation with me, like sitting there, but her legs are like, completely, like, touching her chin, basically. Her knees are touching her chin.

And she's just talking to me. I was like, you're like this fetus, basically. I could never, I could not right now. Like if you came and pushed these up to me, I don't think I could do it. And she's just like, like, always sitting on weird,

yeah, just over their legs. Comfortably doing that. She lies down to take naps and stuff, but I feel like if she's lying down, it's game over. Sleepy time. Yeah.

So my favorite part of the house would be chairs, I think. Just all of them. I like sitting in chairs. Yeah. I'm having a great time right now. Me too. I'd say,

I think perks of doing a little renovation on the house. I don't think it's that hard to put speakers in the ceilings. We have like some speakers above the couch. Fun for either watching something or for listening to music. And so the couch speaker combo, probably a favorite spot. Dude, the same numbers called me every single day. And it's like one of those like scam calls where you answer it and they don't say anything to you. What is that?

I don't know. But they continue to do it. they're not getting what they want. Like your phone either doesn't work or, yeah, I don't know. I tried to call it back one time even. I didn't realize it was a scam. You do it to them. They answer, you go sign it.

And it just rang for 30 seconds, never went to a voicemail. Most mail. My favorite part of our home, thanks for asking Good Ranchers, American Meat, Delivered, GRC, Good Ranchers.com, best meat, no-hitted additives, all the stuff. All organic, no-team. Yeah. Welcome to the table.

Free meat out on, probably. Wagga beef. I don't know. We do the whole plug. I don't know. Anyway, I like my bed. I like my dining table.

I really like chairs. You're right. I have two comfy chairs that I really enjoy. One of them in my living room, one of them in my basement. The one of my basement's like my classic leather chair that I've had forever. It's like we've gotten rid of all the other leather like things that accompanied it, except for this chair and this ottoman.

And it's like, my chair. I'll never, I'll never let us get rid of that chair. I've yet to have like my chair. I think it's one thing I'll get in Phoenix. Like get a recliner. Yeah.

Yeah. Girls don't like a lot of girls. It's like recliners are like whatever. I'm like recliners are amazing. It's the minivan. It's like don't hate on this. Yes. Just because maybe it doesn't look as good as the other stuff.

It's tried. It's true. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's awesome. So yeah. I do like like the kids go like yeah, I'm sitting in dad's chair. You know, I'm like, cool.

I don't know. Sweet. My chair. Anyway, thanks good ranchers for the question. Thank you, good rangers for the question.com. All right. Sign us off, timing. Could you guys believe a dog could do that?

Not me. You should, no, actually, right now, put like a, or right before that, put a video of a dog doing something awesome. Yeah, that was hard on my plan, probably. Okay, great. Okay, great. Doing something awesome.

Sounds good. And then right now, do another video of it. A different one. Okay. Because there's probably a lot of cool ones. Do you mean a hard cut to it or overlay it somewhere? Hard cut. Good.

And then back to me? Yep. That's doggone fun. Anything else? Nope. That's perfect. Okay. All right.

Love you guys. Ghosts from a spot.
