Good morning, Ghosties.
And good morning to Brad.
Morning, buddy.
And good to see you, Tyman.
Yeah, you too.
As T's last episode, we got an email.
I'm just not realizing the email address is Ellie.
It says Brad in the name.
Oh, her last name is Bradley.
Sorry.
Ellie says, play this on the podcast.
All respect to Tyman.
This is a joke.
That's all we know.
I play it.
It's time and song.
It's time and song.
M.P.3.
All right, here we go.
Got the place to go.
Can you take me there?
Take me to the place where I belong.
So this is why you vet things
before you just play them on the podcast.
I trusted you, Ellie.
12 seconds?
Time and song?
All right.
I thought it was a song.
It's a cover.
I thought it was a song.
it was like a love song to timing.
That would have been sweet.
Write us some of those and send it back.
How long, that took her some time though.
For sure.
I mean, there's a whole beat.
There's a few different vocal layers in there.
I think it'd be kind of fun to do like an unplugged version of that song with you,
Timon.
Do a little acoustic version?
I think I would just die of cringe.
Would you?
Really?
Because it just says, it's so silly.
I just wish it meant something.
Well, what if we did it where we were like standing outside the side yard, like singing while we did it?
And we could do that for the cover art. Would that be cringe?
That would be cool. No, no, that'd be really, that'd be cool. Yeah, what if you had like a super cool?
A cool hat. Yeah. Like, what's the Jason Moraz hat or like the Neo hat? Yeah, fedora.
Fedora. Fodora's are cool. What if you each wore a fedora and did it? If you're wearing a fedora right now, take it off.
It's not a good idea.
No, fedores get more cool as the years go on, I think.
I think fedores are...
Have you guys seen that Tim Robinson sketch about the hat?
No.
It's a pretty well-done, pretty creative way of just, yeah, I don't know, writing comedy or whatever.
But basically, it's very, like, you know, high production, cinematic, like, courtroom scene.
Okay.
This is, like, a criminal proceeding.
There's a jury.
There's someone, like, on the stand right now.
And they're kind of going over, like, let me replay some of the text messages that were sent.
and it's like it's a back and forth like he said uh is it happening today you said yes they're dumping
stock we need to do this now he said okay great the shares are in you said we're going to be rich
he said by the way anything else going on today you said no it's got a stupid meeting with jerry
and his hat he said yeah his hat is so ridiculous and then the camera like uh like pans over to like
tim robinson and he goes what the he's wearing the most ridiculous hat it's like a
a, I don't know, like a circular,
thin-brimmed hat with a safari flap in the back.
And then it's like, clearly it's like,
it gets a little unrealistic,
but they're no longer talking about the insider trading.
It's like all these text messages just about his hat.
Did you see?
And then he said this.
And then you said this.
And why is he wearing it?
He got grease on it.
Yeah, it's so funny.
What the?
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah.
Do you think more people can pull off of a,
in the world or dunk a basketball.
I'm serious.
Because there are people in this world
that are cool enough to pull off a fedora.
I am not one of them.
Neo?
I think the black community is going to have to do both of these things.
You can't rely on us for either option.
Dunk of basketball,
I think I've seen a lot of high school kids
like Dunkin basketballs on Instagram.
Like AAU ball is getting pretty good.
Yeah.
I know.
I think it might be dunk of basketball.
It might be dunked a basketball,
even though not that many people can do it still.
But there's a lot of jazz people out there
that might be able to pull off Fadora too.
Yeah, if you're old and you're like mainly chairbound
and you play an instrument, I think you can pull off a fedora.
Yeah.
But then again, you could pull off a Fadora well into your 80s, 90s,
if you're cool enough for it.
Like you could pull off a fedora old.
Arguably, you can't dunk the more you age.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't dunk after a certain time no matter what.
Yeah, dunking is limited to 16 to 35.
I think so.
Whereas fedora, you might have 55 and up.
You have a lot more ages to work with.
I know.
Yeah, I think about that?
The great debate.
So you think there are more fedoras in the world or more windows?
All right, New York City.
New York City.
Uh, uh, oh, oh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts
in white meat, me too.
Then West best friends eating fast food on repeat.
So come along.
have some fun and go ahead.
Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast.
Everybody in the morning who are taking around.
Ghost on us.
Anyway, that's been Fodora talk.
Anyway, there's something.
I don't know if I ever wanted to own a Fadour.
I definitely didn't ever own one.
I'm trying to think of it.
There was a few things that was like,
I wish I had that as a kid and I didn't.
Remember, like the, we'll call them driver's caps?
Yeah, I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In Space Jam, Michael Jordan had one on backwards.
I was to say like Payne Stewart would wear this golfing, I think.
One of those hats.
Michael Jordan wore it backwards.
I thought that looked so cool.
And we tried to find one for a while.
My parents, my mom was awesome.
She's like, you want one of those?
Let's try to find one.
Yeah.
He's just saving up my money.
He's just like, yeah, sure, buy whatever you want with it.
Right, Padderka a couple times.
It could be yours.
Couldn't find it.
I thought for sure be at the finish line at the mall.
It was not.
So I was like, I don't know where else to look.
That was kind of my one.
It's not East Bay.
Where else is it?
That is funny.
If it's not there, I don't know where else it could be.
Yeah.
If it's not a finish line at the mall.
Versus now I can find it on 18,000 different websites.
Here he goes with Retail Rebel again.
Let's look.
You've been Rebbling?
Dude, not recently.
You probably need to buy as much if the Airbnb is up and running, right?
But I got a second one coming.
And is this is going to be a rental or a flip?
I'm going to do Airbnb.
Okay.
Short-term rental is what is the cool word for it.
You burr so you can sotter.
Yeah.
Yeah, this one's going to be,
less of a burr. It's going to be more of just a
just a good deal. Just a good deal. Yeah, just going
right into the right into the like long term loan
rather than like the short term loan. Anyway,
but it's just something to say about that. It's just a
old old person's house that lived in there for like 30 years and took
great care of it and it just needs like some updating. But it's like
in such good condition like to the point where I was like Catherine,
we should move into this house. This house is awesome.
What kind of condition is going to be in in exactly
four weeks from today.
I, good question.
Oh, great question.
You got, you need a spot?
Yeah.
It would be livable for you, buddy.
I'll say that.
We'll be fine.
Yeah.
I think,
I think,
I'm hopeful to have a hot tub in it.
You hate hot tubs.
Out of all people.
It's not nothing.
You know,
I'll put a,
I'll change the temperature
on the hot tub.
I just won't heat it up.
It'll just be for you, buddy.
I like a hot tub as a means
of making the cold plunge
more palatable.
I do contrast therapy,
but not just like,
should we just relax in the hot tub for 30 minutes?
That doesn't sound awesome to you?
No.
Timon?
Yeah.
Yeah.
With the TV out there?
Total tub head.
Yeah.
Watch the game.
A little grill over there,
get some wings going.
Throw Frodo on, I'd say.
Wings and Frodo in the tub?
Sure.
Little tub wing?
That's what they called me in high school.
Hey, little tub wings.
Hey, tub wing.
Get over here.
Get over that fence.
So, yeah, you're, tell us.
There's just so much up in the air right now.
I was actually, I saw a glide in the lifetime parking lot last night.
We got to catch up on things.
And he was telling me his basement flooded.
And he said, he was like, I was randomly already in some group chat with Gunner and Brand and a few of people.
And, you know, I happen to text, like, you wouldn't have any history with their basement flooding.
And you go, I don't have much.
And then you sit like pictures.
an essay, phone numbers of who to contact, email addresses.
I'm trying to be helpful.
I don't have a ton, but in the,
you're,
well, I truly, I truly felt kind of like,
I mean, yeah, it's happened to me a little bit, but like,
like, I feel like every, every, every situation is a little bit different.
So I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
I've never, I've never had flooding where it's like a carpet like yours.
Like, I don't know exactly what you're going through, but here's my,
I tried to be very exhaustive in my response.
Yeah.
No, and I like that.
I like communicating that way.
But God and I were connecting because he was like, I've just,
try to be like, I'm so thankful to have a home.
Yeah.
To have a finished basement, have a basement that can flood.
He was like, it wasn't that long ago that I was, you know, borderline living out of my car.
And I needed to, you know, like sell enough solar panels every day to get by, you know,
it's like, I'm so thankful to even have a basement that could flood.
And I go, dude, it's kind of how I feel too.
I'm getting at times I get a little overwhelmed with how much is out of my control right now.
And how much is moving around.
But it's like, all of it is things I sign out for.
when you decide to uproot your family and move across the country,
yeah, there might be a few weeks where it's tricky.
It's like, what am I going to complain about?
It's going to be a little hard.
Yeah, the thriving business that allows us to move to Phoenix.
No, I'm not going to complain about it.
I'm thankful to have these problems.
Right.
Which come up with like, all right, the buyer wants to be in here
about two weeks before I would like him to be.
Okay.
Well, this one Christian show might want me to shoot,
but they don't have that date confirmed yet.
That's right.
I forgot about that thing.
And there's this pickleball event.
in St. Louis, and that is actually already got bumped up a day, so now we don't know when or if we'll
be able to shoot or not, you know, so it's just like, it's just a mixture of like, gosh, we're going
to be in a suitcase somewhere, living out of a suitcase somewhere. I don't know where it'll be
or how we're going to do any of this, but maybe I'll be in your house. Hey, either of them.
Either of them. And I also do have the, like, the house, but it's a backup option.
Yeah, what, uh, what dates are we looking at here? Let me go to homebase getaways.gesteebookings.com
real quick.
Guesteybooking.
That's just the website that I've
using like homebase getaways.
gitably.gestewookies.com.
Change out to ghosty bookings
and that's the promo code.
We're looking month from today.
We're talking late May.
Exactly.
May 30th.
We're free right now.
Like June 3rd.
Wait, wait.
Let me see.
Oh, this is the nice Airbnb.
Guestey bookings.
Thank you for saying.
Thank you for calling it that.
Yeah.
Actually, I think we might be booked.
Would they like a couple roommates?
Maybe.
We'll be quiet.
We do have some
Ghosties coming.
Guesties.
Ghostie Guesties.
It might be that time, honestly.
Yeah, I think maybe that's the date.
Yeah, it's booked 29th.
29th and 30th only, though.
So you go 28th and 30th.
No, no.
That'd be fun.
You go 31st.
I go every other day for a week.
You go 31st through the 4th.
And I would like to something in there.
I think it would be a fun, like, if this show actually does happen,
and I go down there to be cast,
this where that's going to happen in Dallas. So as part of me, it's like, what if just for three
or four days we went to like a resort or something? That'd be kind of fine. We're going to let out
a suitcase either way. Let's do it somewhere tropical. And I would love to book that, but I don't
know when I'm doing any of this stuff. Do you really, really want to do the show? Yeah, I think it'd
be a fun opportunity. And like, it's only a pilot. So it's not going to take that much work. It's a day
of shooting. And if this were to get picked up, that it's like, no, this is really cool.
True. It's like, sure. Sure. Let's go ahead. Just in case.
just a case this all falls apart.
Just a case that lawsuit's a little better than we thought it was.
Need to have some other coals in the fire.
I would love to ask you about that, but let's not ask you about that.
This is not privileged.
That's right.
This is not privileged.
We could write privileged on the front of the episode.
If we title this episode, Privileged in all caps, we're good.
Then I think we're fine.
You can't use it.
You see Jake's ridiculous hat?
That's what he'd say.
Yeah.
I was playing pickleball last night and in between games.
I just get a little water break.
I checked my phone and our lawyer is sent back an email and they said,
all right,
this is our memo of the case.
I think,
oh, cool.
I'll see kind of what they think.
Quick memo.
Mimo was not what I thought a memo was.
This is like 26 pages of a PDF.
And I go, whoa.
It's like,
yeah,
different industries have different terms.
Yeah,
I'm exhausted.
Just so I still haven't even got through it.
It's a lot.
It's exhausted.
If I don't need an e-sign,
I'm not reading that.
Yeah.
Matt, you feel like pretty good about what's in here?
You take care of it.
I'll do the YouTube stuff.
You download the PDF, send it on to JetGBT and say, what does this say?
Well, they won't even let us do that.
You're right.
So I got to read it like a caveman.
Oh, my gosh.
I have to sit down and actually read a document that's really important.
Just task grab it?
What does that?
Can you come over and read to me?
We have to sign this NDA first.
And go slow because it's pretty heavy in there.
I'm not a patent lawyer, so I don't really understand a lot of this.
come over and read to me.
Read Rabbit.
Task Rabbit does a lot of different things, man.
Hey, dude, I know I paid you for the hour.
We knocked this out in 45 minutes.
There's a couple of kids across the street.
They love books.
If you wouldn't mind reading to them.
I'll text Brad.
You're on your way.
Hey, my reading rabbit's coming over.
He's coming over.
He's pretty slow.
Yeah.
You know, for being a rabbit.
He's got 15 minutes worth.
How much, well, you don't,
do you remember how much you spent on Task
rabbit stuff. I'm very curious. Like, there's a few things like in this new house where I'm like,
I don't know if I really need to hire somebody specialized in this. Can I just have somebody random come
and help me with this? Yeah, you pay a slight premium, I'd say, but I feel like it's not that
crazy of like to pay someone the equivalent of like 60 bucks an hour to do something. You know,
like I didn't feel like it was that. Yeah. Especially if you could like double up task. I wouldn't have
a task where I would come over to do one thing. Like I think I've only hired one twice ever. And it was like,
we just got married.
So it's like, can you mount the TV?
Can you assemble this, assemble this, and do this?
Two hours worth.
Okay.
Which would have taken me eight hours.
That's worth it.
Yeah, because I got TVs.
I got, yeah, all these different things.
You're right.
I should.
Okay.
I took apart the fridge this week.
Did a little Jake rabbit.
Whoa.
Took apart.
A bit.
Tell me why.
Not the entire fridge.
I mean, I didn't take the doors off and, you know, or anything.
But, you know, my, what do you mean then?
Like the vent and the pan.
and had to take it out from the wall and unplug it
and unscrew a bunch of stuff.
And anyway, yeah, my Basset Hound wife is like,
that fridge stinks.
And I go, how bad is it?
Because I can't smell it at all.
And we got a month left.
Yeah, oh, we've been throwing out that for a lot of things.
This thing's conveyed.
One more month?
Yeah, we're fine.
Hey, have you noticed this?
I noticed it one more month.
You know what, for a lot of things.
Yeah.
But she was like, no, this smell is like bad.
And like, I get if it's one thing,
like you're on the couch and you could smell things in the fridge and I'm like, that's crazy.
But this, like, you're saying it smells awful in our fridge.
I've got my nose in here.
And like, I can't smell it.
That's another one of those things.
Like, you think this is blue?
I'm like, it's crazy that you claim this is disgusting.
And I smell absolutely nothing.
I smell a fridge.
I smell ice.
Yeah.
It smells like ice in here.
Hey, come on.
Which is nothing.
Don't say that.
But I'm a good husband.
So I said, you know what?
All right.
I looked it up.
It says we could have mold in our pan.
We could have a coolant leak.
Oh, you, so, okay.
And I know.
I know it's not that.
I know it's not that.
We've got a grocery store's worth of crap in our fridge,
dating back to when we got married.
I know it's not a cool one.
Yeah, why don't you just get rid of the stuff you don't use?
One more month.
One more month.
We will throw it away at some point.
Please say throw it away.
Please say throw it away.
Hey, do you want to bring this ranch with us to Phoenix?
Please say no.
Please say no.
Looks like you got to.
about a half inch of Taziki sauce left in this cup from when you had Mr.
Euros two weeks ago.
Do you want any more of this?
Please say no.
Please.
So, yeah, it took apart the whole back of the fridge, got my tool set out, got my drill out,
and got after it.
And sure enough, that pan was as good as new.
Was it?
Max is in for a treat.
Max is getting himself a quality pan fridge.
Get yourself a nice fridge on that pan.
But it did, I was already wearing jeans that.
day for something else. And then I got a little warm. So I took my shirt off. So I am like
working on the fridge with my shirt off and jeans. And I think that's what Rachel wanted all
along. I think that was the goal. She's like, you look great doing this. Get the pan out again.
Give it a sponge, Beth. Show me the sponge. Yeah. She cranks up the heat.
That's amazing. So yeah, took my first fridge apart. No rabbit needed.
You got the jeans and the shirt off is hilarious. You got shoes on?
I had, I don't know what I was doing shoe was.
That makes a difference to me for some reason.
I can't remember if the shoes were on or off.
If you're like in house shoes, it's different than if you're like in work boots versus if you're just barefoot.
Yeah.
I don't go barefoot often.
No, you don't.
No, I do not.
Do you go socks only often?
No, I think I always have something to me in the ground.
It's like until you sit down in your bed, like even when you're in your pajamas, you got the shoes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why is that, you think?
I think it's something with the shape of my foot.
It's just not very comfy to walk on the ground.
Okay.
I needed a little arch or something.
Do you have house shoes?
You have some slides.
And do you call them house shoes?
I don't.
Catherine, that's a, that's a Catherineism in my life.
We grab your house shoes and let's go.
I grew up, they were slippers.
And she calls them house shoes.
And now my kids all call them house shoes.
There's certain things.
I'm like, my kids, don't say pajamas.
Hey, say what I say.
Say pajamas.
You say pajamas?
You're saying that?
You're taking her side?
Rosie doesn't,
Rosie calls him Ninnies.
You're not even close.
You got my Nini's.
You're not even mispronouncing it.
You just made up a new word for it.
Rosie's unbelievable, bro.
She's unbelievable.
She's all over the place.
Speaking of words like that,
I had a thought this week.
One of the worst names
for like a smoothie,
I hate the name Strawnana.
When it's like half strawberry,
half banana.
It feels like it's like
a grandma or,
Like, or nana naboo, like you're playing with a little baby.
Strawnana.
Yeah.
I have to order it as a grown man.
Do they say, like, stran, strawnana.
Or I don't know.
How would you?
I don't know if they move.
Yeah, they debox it around.
Strawnana.
Strawnana.
How would you pronounce it?
What's the best way to pronounce?
I would go strawnana.
Strawnana.
Strawnana.
So that's more grandma.
But that's not much better, I don't think.
Stranana.
That's more work on your mouth than saying strawberry banana.
Strawberry banana.
That's kind of fun.
That's kind of ambic pentameter a little bit.
It goes.
Strawnana is just mean to your mom.
Strawnana.
I would exclusively order that on the app.
If that's the option, I have to buy it.
If they're trying to drive me to the app, you win.
Tropical smoothie cafe.
They have one called the avacolada or something like that.
It's like avocado and pinia collata or something like that.
Avicolada.
I don't know.
That one kind of sounds more fun to me.
Avacalata.
But it's so hard.
I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right.
Yes.
We see that written.
You're questioning.
Because you're like,
was it avacotta?
Avacotta.
Avacolata?
Avacolala?
Alacolala?
Covis?
Yeah.
Ever since the covis,
I haven't been able to read the same.
I can't smell avicolata ever since codas.
Avacolata.
Avalada.
I don't know.
Yeah, strawnana.
I hate that name.
Strawnana.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Strawberry banana is,
it kind of elicits like a good feeling in my soul for a,
like my childhood.
Strawberry banana yogurt was awesome.
Yeah.
Catherine's not a banana gal.
In what context?
Like in smoothies and stuff.
She would much,
she almost never wants the banana.
And I think the banana makes it.
I agree.
So good.
It kind of does.
I mean,
it's hard to argue with someone
if they say they don't like the taste of something,
but I've tried to,
I've been at places before
I would like create your own smoothie.
I go,
I've owned a Bondi truck before.
Why don't I get to work?
And then if you don't put banana in the base,
it's not good.
I think it gives it this smooth.
It does.
Part of the smoothie.
It does.
See, I don't even know about texture.
I think just like the,
the flavor profile of a banana,
it's not sour.
I agree.
Everything else is sour.
Like, you have to have something
better than a strawberry
or just a blueberry.
Sometimes she'll throw avocado in there
for the smoothness.
Avocado.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's, she makes me, she makes me.
She makes me.
A avocado.
Scott's dying after here.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I mean, she makes good smoothies, but they are different.
They're not, they're not.
I mean, the smoothies are really, really good.
But I never seen anything like what it tastes like.
Every once in a while, every once in a while, it's like, Catherine, what'd you do in here this time?
She's like, you can't taste it.
It's like, I can taste the celery.
Yes, I can.
I can taste, you put parsley in here.
I can tell.
Come on, Catherine.
No, you can.
Make me another one tomorrow?
Please say, no, please.
Are we all out of celery?
Please say yes.
Yeah, right.
Rachel has done a good job blending, like, random crap into smoothies that she makes me occasionally.
I go, I will give you credit.
I can't taste the spinach.
So keep it up because I know it's good for you.
Spanish doesn't have a taste anyway.
See, I didn't know that.
I thought that was a hoax.
I mean, maybe it has a little bit of a taste, but like, as long as you get the, get it
blended up enough.
Banana.
Avocado, too.
I think avocado is pretty easy to hide.
Healthy fat.
Healthy fats.
Where Rachel gets a little crazy is because she is,
gluten-free. She's like, I'm making dinner night. I go, great. And then she goes, there's a few
surprises in there. And it's like, and so I've given her a rule. I forget what it is exactly
now, but I'm like, you can change, you can change like one and a half things. Like, you can't go
gluten-free noodle and it be a protein noodle. Like, you get one or the other. Gluton-free
proteins too much for one item. And it can't be like, if you go gluten-free noodle,
you can't also have the like organic uh ragu or something like too you know it's like all right
you get one yeah you get one give me at least one thing from my childhood and the rest of it can be
new age i uh i went to Costco yesterday at i mean 11 a m the great time to go Wednesday at 11 a m
this is at a music park on a Monday the samples are flowing and the lines are short dude it was awesome
but yeah, I got, I got duped.
I didn't read well enough.
There was a cassidia almond flour in the tortilla.
Shoot.
What was this?
I had two of them.
What do you think?
What do you think the etiquette on that is?
Like how many, how many samples, too many samples?
Not at once.
I didn't go, but I pretended like I hadn't had it yet.
And I went back in the second time.
See, I was imagining you, like, building a report.
Like, you've got an inside joke with this lady.
loves you. So at that point, yeah, you've earned a second
cassidia. No, they switched workers. And so I thought,
I got us to know I've had a case to do you. Well, that's
on them. Yeah. No, you're fine. And you're
here. Yeah. I wonder. I wonder
about somebody who's worked one of those stations. Like, we know you.
Come on. We know what you're doing. But man,
I filled up almost a complete meal at Costco the other day on
samples. They had some good ones.
Almond flour tortilla for the cassidia. Yes.
You knew that's what you were eating or you didn't know that's what you're
buying? I didn't know that's what I was eating. And so I
tried this cassidia,
just little triangles of cassidia.
And I tried it and I was like,
that doesn't quite what I was expecting.
But once you know,
it's like,
okay,
I guess that's fine.
Almond's making its way
in a lot of things.
It started with the milk.
Mm-hmm.
And then I'll tell you what's very good
for the,
they need to rename it,
but an almond croissant is just sugar.
almond flavoring?
Yeah.
Like almond extract?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unreal, dude.
I remember what's going on there.
Yes.
That's not what almond milk tastes.
like, but almond croissant is just,
do you want a bunch of cinnamon and sugar inside
of bread? Yes. Yes. 2025?
Oh, yeah. Whatever like sweet pastries.
2027? Oh, yeah. Oh, please. Yeah, whatever sweet
pastries have almond in them, just fine. Yeah.
Yeah, I, I doubled up
on the cassidias, muscle milk. I was like, that guy didn't see me very well the first
time. I think I can get one more. Muscle milk samples?
Dude, it was unbelievable.
They had like Korean beef. They had
tequitos. Honestly,
I came home after that, and I was like, I mean, I had
haven't technically eaten lunch yet, but I'm not that hungry. It was pretty good.
Muscle milk, some pretzels that were covered in like this icing, vanilla, vanilla icing
pretzels with a little lemon sprinkle on there. What else you need? That's so many sample
options. Oh, I'm not even done. We're talking like these little tacos that had guacamole
with them. Tacomolos. What else do we have? That's a good brand name. Taco moly?
Yes.
All right.
Should we?
Yes.
All right.
We teamed.
Tamed it.
Tremark.
Can't.
Can't do it.
Sorry.
This is privilege.
Takamoli's good.
Takamoli.
They had these like little things that were like just the bottom parts of ice cream cones.
Oh.
Dude.
Those are amazing.
Dude.
I don't know.
They sold just that.
That was one that I feel like the lady looked into my soul when I got the sample and I was like, I can't go back to her.
She will know.
And she will call me out for it.
Um, what else did they have?
They had this kimchi.
You know what kimchi is?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's these little like Japanese things or whatever, right?
Uh, you're thinking of Boba?
I don't know.
No, I wasn't thinking Boba.
Is it like, I think it's Japanese, but like, it's like ice cream fermented cabbage.
It's, it's, it's salty.
Yeah, it's like spicy something.
I don't know what it's so good though.
I'm thinking it's like rice and stuff.
They also had this like cilantro lime rice thing.
Are you thinking of mochi?
I'm thinking of mochi.
Mochi's good too.
Mochi's one of my least favorite things in the world.
Okay.
mochi's bad too is what I hate mochi it's one of the only desserts I've ever not finished
I was like this is this is the weirdest it's very strange consistency of all I've had like one ever
it was it was it was it was nice though the texture was was odd I couldn't get over the texture
I'm a texture yeah yeah uh that might have been it but it was it was a good day at Costco
I need to go there more oh no they had lasagna they had lasagna they had lasagna samples wow
trying to replay it all in my head now or where I went oh they had this
like turmeric stuff. I didn't have that. I can't find a company called
Tuacamole. Tuacamole. Tuacamole? Tawakomoli or taco moly?
I don't know how I would like to spell it. Okay. If you spell it T-U-A,
that it's going to sound like twa-tacomola. Also, what are you wanting to sell
at this? Or is this a restaurant? Is this a, is this a product? Tacomoli. Is it a... I think it's a
restaurant. Hey, good sign. Taco-moli was a Mexican, Mexican fast food restaurant that is
permanently closed. All right.
I bet their naming rights are.
It was in Kansas
A-S-S-Hawnee. That's what it says. What are the
chances of that? I don't. Is AI just making up stuff?
You A-I-D-I-D-I-D-I-D-N-E-I-T? No, I just Googled it,
but it makes me AI it. It tricks me.
I don't...
Tacomole.
Okay.
Speaking of businesses, what are you seen over there?
I looked up T-A-C-O-M-O-L-I.
Tacom-M-O-L-I.
With an eye at the end. I don't know. I try it.
Sure. Sure.
in the people also ask section,
you'll never guess.
What is Kobe Bryant's favorite Mexican restaurant?
What?
That's such a random
how did one become the next thing.
Yeah.
They know I loved Kobe, but still.
Just a really niche thing to search.
Phone call yesterday with the former head
of global marketing for Nike,
specifically the Kobe Bryant brand.
Whoa.
Wow.
Alex Dimchek connected me.
Of course, he knows every person ever.
I was telling him, we're trying to expand.
He's like, let me connect you with this guy.
We wrote his book.
Nice guy.
Christian guy.
What'd you learn?
I learned he has his whole new shoe and apparel company now.
If you guys want to support him, Unitas.
It's a Christian like apparel and footwear.
UN, IT, US.
That's what he's up to now.
Unitas.
Unitedis.
I might have heard of them.
I couldn't remember if I had to do it.
I feel like, I think I've seen this on Instagram, maybe.
Maybe contact us at one point.
He's got some cool stuff, cool looking shoes.
Yeah, no, I thought the shoes look sweet.
Yeah.
Cool.
That was kind of fun to chat.
I mean, nothing like earth-shattering wisdom, but honestly,
nothing else, he was like, sounds like you guys are on the right track.
You guys are doing a lot of things the right way.
That's good to hear.
Cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Drink, drink, drink, drink, great, bro, yeah.
I know whether to go in or I didn't know, I know, I know what you had planned.
No, you think I had something planned, buddy?
I didn't think you had much plan.
You think I knew what I was doing there?
I didn't think you had much plan.
You think I knew, you think I practiced that?
You would be right.
I practiced that for four hours before this.
Hey, street, treat, street, street, street, street, street.
There's only so many streets.
Wow.
That's deep.
That's deep, dude.
If you're going to get him roasted, get him roasted on the main one.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, imagine side street roasters.
Side street roasters, back street roasters, back alleyway roasters.
Bah.
That, sick.
Main Avenue roasters?
Yeah, right.
First Boulevard, first Baptist.
Good try.
No.
Nice try.
Main Street Roasters.
Yeah.
I don't know exactly where I read this, but I read some comment from somebody somewhere
about how they converted their church to have Main Street Roasters coffee.
Do you see this comment?
No, but I believe it.
Guess what they said about it.
They said, the next day we had 78 baptisms.
Yeah.
Something's in the water.
And there was a little bit of brown water in there.
No, just basically like, wow, the coffee tastes so much better.
I don't remember the exact, but the testimony.
were just like, this is clearly better.
Once again, was in Branson this past weekend.
They had some like instant coffee thing at the hotel.
No, no, no, no.
Just like pre-packaged, put it in the coffee maker.
I was like, hey, I can do it.
I'm going to try it.
This is fine.
Catherine said the same thing.
We both were like, I can't drink this.
This is rough.
I drank maybe seven eighths of the cup.
Maybe.
I'm just kidding.
No, I really couldn't drink it, though.
I miss my Main Street Roaster.
So don't be in my situation.
Bring Main Street Roasters with you.
it's pretty easy to pack.
Yeah.
Mastroaster.com.
Use our promo code GRKC,
10% off for the best coffee
that you can buy
and also they support us.
They're ghosties.
And that's a guarantee.
We guarantee it.
Main Street,
right,
Roosters.com.
Oh, Timmer,
you said something about like their
naming rights or
remind me I,
we've talked about this years ago,
but the
Bondi Bowles LLC
was going to be called Lewis Davis LLC
because he famously told me and Alex Dimchek
like, you guys are going to get to Os Heavals?
Other things are fed.
It's like, all right, we're going to name it after him
and show him wrong and then he got the last laugh, I guess.
No, no, no, no. You sold it.
Sorry, Lewis.
Yeah.
But for two years now, plus, I'll get things in the mail from, you know,
state of Kansas is like, hey, just heads up,
yo, $7,900 in sales tax.
And we were showing this to you.
Like, dude, what is this?
And you're like, it's a scam.
They just guess like, hey, you're a business.
You probably owe us this amount.
I wouldn't call it a scam, but I would call it like, yeah, they're trying to estimate what you're spending.
Fear mongering.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't like it.
So I've just ignored these things for two years because I'm like, we have zero sales.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Yeah.
Bothering me about the sales tax sale.
Yeah.
Lending at something about a week ago, this looks a little different than the other pieces of mail I get because I see at the top it says like plaintiff,
Department of Revenue, State of Kansas, defendant, Jake Triplett, Lewis Davis LLC.
We've all been there, brother.
Oh, yeah.
Nathan Cole was over at the house.
I got to give him credit for this joke, but he goes, you never want to see verses.
And I was like, that is true.
You don't want to see your name versus anyone anywhere at any time.
Especially when it says the state of Kansas or whatever.
Yeah, I don't want to be the defendant.
I don't want to see verses on any piece of mail.
And I had to see versus.
I was like, geez.
Well, I hit up Connor.
I already knew that my accountant Connor was on family vacation.
So I was like, this can wait.
Yeah.
I'll wait until Monday.
And by the time Monday rolls around, I've received another piece of paper in the mail that's like, like a court date.
It's like, all right, we'll see you May 15th or whatever.
I'm like, oh my gosh, am I going to jail for a business that sold no money?
And then, you know, I'm kind of looking on Chad GPD and it's like, I mean, every state's different.
But yeah, it's likely that you still owe because you filled out a sales tax.
I'm going, that can't be right.
in America, right? No. And then, of course, I hit up Connor and he's like, oh, yeah, you're fine.
Yeah. And I go, are you an accountant? Be honest with me. Are you an accountant? Because for three
years now, you've always told me, oh, yeah, we're fine. No problem. Just wait. Just do it later.
Promise me you're an actual accountant and you're taking care of this. I'm trusting you so much.
It's true. Yeah. And yeah, you got it taken care of. But yeah, it was kind of funny.
Verses? Verses, dude. I think something similar happened to me recently, too. Like, Catherine freaked out.
Yeah.
It's like,
scary piece of mail.
You gotta figure this out.
I was like,
I'll figure it out.
You've got to go fill out a form online.
It's not a hard thing at all.
Yeah.
Especially if you haven't done anything.
Zero.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Versus.
Man.
Let's get to some ghosty reaction things.
Yeah,
there's a great one was that amazing,
amazing song from Ellie.
The other one is from Samantha Hamilton.
You recognize the name of Tucker Hamilton?
Tucker Hamilton.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's been like faithful ghosty.
I feel like he's been in the comments.
Conservative podcaster.
Tucker Hamilton.
This is him.
But his mom emailed us.
They're just like, hey, Tucker's graduating high school this year.
He, you know, he listens to every single episode.
He loves it.
Constant part of his daily life.
Might be one of your top listeners.
I'm kind of paraphrasing all this.
He's about to graduate high school.
I wanted to share that your show helped make these years meaningful,
for him. He even started his own vlog, inspired by interest and everything we're doing.
She's like, I just want to invite you to his graduation party. And also, I've learned from this
graduation invite. He's got a nickname. Oh, T. Hammy. He was voted class clown.
With a name like that, I hope so. Ham it up. You're not voted most likely to succeed in robotics.
If you're T. Amy. So just, uh,
yeah, public shout at,
out. I will be on a flight back from Asia the day of your grad party, so I won't be able to make it.
But where is it? In Neo Show. Missouri? Wait, it might be in Asia. Yeah. Neosho. Hey,
we play in your show. Class Cloth. T.Hap. No, Neo Show, Missouri. Where is that? It's down there.
By you? Yeah. Down there enough to where I've heard of it, but I don't know where it's at specifically.
Congrats. I think here's a lake.
nearby.
Lake Neosho.
Could be.
Fort Neosho.
Yeah.
But, uh, did you, did you, uh, show up to, no.
Did you, did you, did you attend, uh, court?
No.
I was total neoshone.
No, that's good.
Uh, shout out to Hammy.
Yeah, T. Hamby, Tucker Hamilton.
Shout out to you. Um, voted class clown.
He's, uh, accepted his way or accepted is ready to join Shocker Nation at
Wichita State.
I said smucker nation at first.
I was like, cool.
He's going to.
Scott's old company.
Let's go.
Smuck Nation.
Engineering program.
Focus on aerospace.
Take that, Robles.
Oh, so he is.
Got to get rid of that nickname.
Pretty funny and pretty smart.
Smart.
Pretty and smart.
Or should I say, pretty smart.
So that's that.
Thank you for the email.
Congrats, Tucker.
T. Hammy.
That's awesome.
Did you see this email from Kirsten Fast?
Kirsten Fast.
Could be Kirsten Fiest.
Maybe.
Remind me.
This is what's awesome.
Came in four days ago.
I'm just going to read it.
Okay.
This is awesome.
And keep in mind that I was like complaining about like, I don't know if I could take my vacation when I want to because I might have to go this pickup ball event in St. Louis.
Keep that little complaint in mind when I read you what Kierston's going through.
Hey Jack, Jake.
From the top.
Hey Jake, Brad Tyman.
That felt better.
My name is Kirsten.
I've been a faithful listener since 2020.
I met Jake in Richmond and I've posted in the Facebook group a few times,
but otherwise haven't been able to interact as much I'd like.
I'm an active duty dentist in the Navy and have lived overseas the past few years,
but I'm hoping to come to an in-person event once we move back to the States.
I wanted to send an email for a while and share how much you guys mean to me
and how many tough situations you've been in my ear for.
From dental school to residency to a 14-month separation from my husband
when he got stationed in Korea and I got deployed to Bahrain,
to a very demanding job in Okinawa, Japan.
I think I'm now finding myself
in one of the most challenging,
unexpected situations I've ever been in.
I was deployed on a ship
doing routine exercises
off the coast of Okinawa since January.
In early March, we pulled into Okinawa for a few days.
We got back on the ship
for what we thought was three more weeks.
And then we'd come home
and I would finish my last deployment
of my military career.
I hurriedly jumped out of the car,
said goodbye to my husband to get back on the ship,
only to find out a few hours later
that we were heading immediately to the Middle East to support the war effort for an indefinite amount of time.
We were unprepared, shocked, and scared of what we were going to be tasked to do.
If you want to do a quick Google search for some context, I'm on the USS Tripoli with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.
Before the ceasefire, we were targeted with drones and missiles, and there were some very fearful moments.
We were originally supposed to be back April 2nd, but that date passed long ago, and as of now, we do not have an end.
date and site. The uncertainty of our timeline and our safety has been daunting, but God is so good
and has given me peace and strength. I'm so thankful for the podcast because it has been such a great
distraction and it's helped me fall asleep on some of my worst nights. The Wi-Fi isn't always on and
rarely good enough to download episodes, but when I do have a good connection, that is always my
priority. I could go on and on, but I'll save it for a conversation that I get to have when I finally
meet you all in person. Hopefully next year when we move to D.C. in October, love you guys,
keep up the great work.
Kirsten.
Wow.
It's crazy about someone
could be going through
while they're listening
to this thing.
But you might have to
like keep your socks
in a bag rather than
in a drawer.
Anywhere between six to eight days
and that's the thing
I don't know how many days
I will have to do that.
I will say
St. Louis though.
That's what people
don't realize.
I'm going to fly
from St. Louis to Phoenix.
Lord willing.
Yeah, right.
If you've made,
Take it to the airport.
I'm not going to book that flight until the morning up.
I got to spend four days in St. Louis, maybe five now.
Yikes, yeah.
I'm going to say, Kirsten, what do you do to get through times like this?
Oh, Kirsten.
That is, oh, that is amazing.
That is so crazy and amazing.
And thank you for your service, your fast service is what we call it.
Because she used her last name's fast.
Get it.
Yeah, I'm thinking about just being separated from Rachel for 14 months.
and then that being a whole different event than what she's going through now.
Dude.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
And she even mentioned, like, just like quicksig bite her husband because like, oh, I'll see you.
Right.
That's crazy.
And like, oh, my gosh, we're going to, you know, Iran or wherever.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Thank you for keeping us safe and for protecting us and for taking care of those teeth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't shoot if you can't bite.
You can't worry about mortars if you got pain in your molars.
Yeah.
we could think of some fun.
Some of the other things here.
Okay, you can't,
you can't throw a bomb in the hauler if you can't swallow her.
You can't worry about your AK-47s if you're still worried about your K-9s.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cavity search?
Oh.
That's it.
I started with the pun.
Can't survive in the trench if you can't clench.
Thanks for like.
showing us.
You have to show what kind of clench I'm talking about.
Before I say it, let me show you what I mean.
There's plenty of different clenches.
You can't win the fight if you got a bad overbite.
Good.
I'm glad this podcast can distract you
while you're dealing with it, the apnea.
I think that's related.
Sleep apnea?
Yeah, that might.
That actually might be more like SLPs.
I bet Dennis are involved.
Oh, I think that, yeah, somehow, maybe, probably.
Some meow.
Yeah, somehow, no show.
Uh,
Dude, we played against a Vietnamese guy a couple nights.
Okay, good for you.
Let's keep going with the dentist jokes.
Periodontas.
Um,
so you can,
I don't know,
I don't know.
I was going to say something about bomb.
Yeah.
Yeah,
we're going to have to put in a cabin.
Putin.
A cabin.
We're going to have to put in.
No,
something about numb.
Numbing.
Numbing.
Numbing.
Numbing.
Numbing.
Numbing.
Numbing.
Numbing.
the more you say it the harder it is
Rican a lot of tooth terms
Gap in your tooth
Oh you can't you can't
Defend Okinawa if you say
Oh yeah
Can't
Oh
And scene
Okay
Kirsten Kirsten
Kirsten
Kirsten
Thanks for writing in
Yeah
Hopefully the ceasefire allows
Wow
I mean I don't know anything of what's going on
But hopefully you have got an indensite.
Yeah, that's...
And if not, we will continue being faithful every Monday, every Wednesday, no matter what.
That's right.
That's right.
That's our job.
That's crazy.
And being on a ship is crazy.
Being on a ship.
We got a ship out there.
My grandpa was in the Navy.
He was on a ship for a long time.
Not really anything active duty, just kind of like post-World War II, just kind of be, just live on a ship.
Okay.
And I would not like that.
It would be tough.
I like land.
Yeah.
I like my house shoes.
Remember the poop crews?
Yeah.
And how they were like, just like straighted out there in the middle of the ocean with no power.
Yeah.
And when they finally got to land, I can't imagine what that felt like.
That'd feel good.
So shout out of Kirsten.
Kirsten.
I don't know how to say it.
I want to say it both ways just in case one of them is the right way and one of them is not.
Would you spell Kirsten differently?
No.
K-I-E?
That would feel like Kirsten more.
K-I-E would definitely feel like Kirsten.
But K-E.
I.
Can still be Kirsten Dunst.
In my, in my head it is.
Yeah, Kirsten Dunst, that's a great...
Kirsten, I call you hero.
Doctor Hero.
Or Hero.
Oh, yeah.
Hero.
Yeah, Kirsten Dunst spells it, K-I-R-S-T-E-N.
It's really not right.
I liked her in Spider-Man.
You seen it?
I haven't seen it.
There was a preview.
Watch them.
For Michael Jackson for, I guess, a new Spider-Man or something.
Yeah.
But it's with Tom Holland again.
They're doing it.
Fourth one.
4D
D box
See that's when I would go see the D box
I'd want to be swinging with him
That we're talking
Yeah
Huh
All right
What else you got
Any other
That concludes information
Of the ghosties
Unless I'm forgetting anything else
Did Zach end up
Doing the stand-up
Nope
Doesn't sound like it
Which is just shame
I don't know
Doesn't sound like it
Like you
You obviously
It doesn't
Yeah
It was last night
Doesn't sound like it
Okay
I think I would have heard about it.
Yeah.
Surely.
Because I asked him yesterday morning, I was like,
is that happening?
And he was like,
last I'd heard,
Derek said he'd let me know,
so probably not.
Dang, he'd prepare so much.
Yeah,
you should have told Derek to like,
hey, mess with Zach real quick.
There's no way he prepared enough,
or at all.
Yeah, I don't know.
I still, like,
I would have loved to see it.
Do you think we could call him right now
and see if he would do a one-minute bit for us?
I think one of you should call him.
All right.
Hey boss.
Ask him about out of the video edit.
I almost said S-I-R-I, but I'm not going to.
Okay, okay, okay.
I'm nice enough to the ghosties.
Oh, it's so much faster than doing it this way, though.
Zachary.
This is his contact photo.
Is that what you have for him?
What is it?
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
Oh, you know, that's not what I have.
Yeah, that's what I have for him.
That's his auto one, I think.
Who are those?
I don't know.
Oh, real quick, real quick answer.
Hi, brother.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
I'm good.
You're on the podcast.
Is that okay?
Do I have your consent?
No, that's okay.
I consent.
I consent.
Okay.
We were curious if you ended up doing your stand-up yesterday.
Right.
So, yeah, it's not even a sore subject.
I mean, I did not do that.
Derek texted me about that months ago and just never followed up.
So now I didn't know.
So wait, somebody texted, or he texted you about it and you agreed to it.
Yeah.
And then like, I said yes.
He said, sweet, let's do it.
I was super excited.
Just never heard from him again.
So how does that make you feel when someone like says, yeah, I'll do something for you.
And then they don't follow through on it.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
That's a really, thank you.
That's a good question.
That makes me feel sad mostly.
also a little happy because I was nervous.
But in general, mostly sad.
Okay.
A lack of follow-through can be one of the more annoying things, so I get it.
I didn't hear a word Jake just said, but thank you.
He said he gets it.
Oh, oh, thank you, Jake.
Thank you, Jake.
If you were able to give us one minute right now, like, did you prepare at all for this?
I mean, I prepared, but I'm kind of standing in the middle of a coffee shop.
So I don't know if I want to do my stand-up set in the middle of the coffee shop.
How much money would it take for you to do it right now?
10% steak and Friday pickle.
Great. 10%?
Jake doesn't even have 10%.
Jake's looking at me like, what?
I'm over here being like, what?
Zach, imagine me.
I'm over here being all like, what?
Would you do it for $20?
What I do it for $20?
I would do it for $20.
All right.
I'll pay you $20.
But you have to do it.
You have to do it.
We'll split it.
Yeah.
Well, see, that's okay.
Right, right, right.
What coffee shop are you at?
The third space in Boulder Springs.
Okay.
Third space.
Go ahead.
So this is a lot of pressure.
He's folding.
Right.
I was just counting on the facts that my natural instincts would kick in.
I think I have a lot of natural instincts.
I think they're gone.
What if this was on stage, if you're like, you know, I was kind of thinking, like, the first, the first thing he said, let's do, but Zach, but Jet, right, right, right, right, right.
Right.
When I was seven years old, I didn't have a great relationship with my grandma, and I thought, why?
And then out of the blue, just out of the blue, she came to Kansas and she visited.
You know, she's from Arizona.
So she comes to Kansas, and she's here for a weekend, man.
It's just the best week in my life.
I was learning to read.
I was reading to my grandma, and it was just, it was a great trip.
And then it's a Sunday night.
It's the last day of the trip.
And she sits me and my sister down on my bed.
And she's just rummaging through her bag, and I'm thinking,
one last bedtime story with her mom.
And you know what she pulled out of that bag?
What?
This part of the crowd work.
You know what she pulled out of that bag?
No, we don't know.
What's your story?
What?
she pulled out a magic wand, like Harry Potter magic wand.
And she said some words that I don't remember.
And she waved it over me.
And she said, do you feel it?
And I said, no, grandma, I don't.
And she said, oh, let me try again.
And she tried again.
She did the full spell again.
And she was waving wands saying words.
And supposedly she connected me emotionally to my cousin.
Okay.
of all the people
supposedly
I'm not feeling it
didn't feel it then
and she asked me like
Zach how do you feel
and I said
Grandma I think your wand's broken
I think it needs new batteries
and yeah
I did not see my grandma
for another six years after that
so
fun times
is here for six years
Is that the joke
that was my standard
That's good dude
Okay
$20 well spit right there
You just paid for my lunch.
I'm going to Chipotle.
Absolutely.
I'm going to walk on you.
Go double protein.
Yeah, do the whole thing, bro.
I will.
Thank you so much.
I made even get chips.
Wow.
You tried the Chipotle lime or whatever that is, the lime ranch stuff?
I have that.
I am today, though.
Overrated, honestly.
I don't know if I'm not trying that today.
It's fine.
Oh, I mean, it's okay.
Uh, timing any notes for Zach's story?
No?
Great.
That was great.
It was perfect.
I think it was good.
The funniest part was like up on stage.
I just kind of figure my instincts would kick in.
I like that one.
I would have.
You know me and my instincts.
They kick in.
I would have loved some crowd work with Zach.
That would have been pretty fun.
Well, I was trying, but you guys weren't doing anything.
I had to tell you that's a crowd work.
Not a very good warm, warm crowd there.
I know.
I know.
This coffee shop didn't like it either.
So, Zach, you're going to take money that Brad Venmoed you and you're going to like spend it and use it right away.
Well, I mean, I assume I would assume I would.
That's kind of how I function.
Makes sense.
Makes sense.
Yeah, I mean, what else would you do?
I do like paying somebody after they've completed the work, though.
That's fair.
Yeah, you didn't pay them up front.
I feel like I know where this is coming from.
Where do you think this is coming from?
Jake, I will let you know.
working on the video.
You will let me know when you're working on the video?
No, no, no, no, I am working on the video.
Right now?
No, no, not currently.
I'm standing in a coffee shop right now.
The work is being done on the video.
The million people laughing at him.
I would say it's 65% done.
Okay.
That's pretty speedy.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Love it.
Black-eyed peas?
Thank you so much.
Black-eyed peas.
It's a great song.
I really feel like it's just pushing the end of the long.
I just, every morning I start and I listen to black eyed peas and it just really gets me going.
I chose that song more for me, less than you.
That's money well spent.
I wish I could throw a magic wand on that song.
All right, buddy, enjoy Chipotle.
Alvin, well you know.
Thank you so much.
Love you.
Thank you so much.

I think I know where this is coming from.
from.
I'm starting to realize.
Great,
great bit, though.
I mean, there's definitely potential there for a story.
It is a great story.
Like, it is, it is true.
Yeah, I mean, it is ridiculous.
It's pretty wild.
Yeah, it's crazy enough to where you're,
you're not going to think someone's making that out.
Yeah.
Didn't see her again for six years.
Yeah, there's likes to that.
You could approve that too.
You know, especially like my cousin,
And then talk about your cousin, why you don't like your cousin.
Out of all the people, you know, connect me to Brad Pitt.
Connect me to, you know, Timothy Shalame.
Don't connect me to my cousin.
Yeah.
It's good.
All right.
I just paid him.
Worth it.
His mom sent him money because I love you.
That's nice.
I wonder what that's about.
I don't know.
I think I see where this is coming.
Buying the love.
Sounds like he is committed to Black IPs though.
Yeah, I thought that was a joke.
But I guess we'll see.
when I get it, when it gets to 100%.
Don't, I like, like, you know, okay,
when I'm editing a video that's like for me, just for fun,
I like to ask other people.
Like, I like to ask around, like,
what song should I put in this?
But if I'm editing it for a client,
I like to just go with what I want.
Yeah.
I will say Gunner, like with a slow mo of Gunner, like,
to Amma B could hit.
Because Gunner is kind of an Amma B kind of guy.
It could be funny.
Yeah.

Yeah, it's the waiter.
He said, I've never tried it.
Waiter also said, he looks to Rachel and he goes,
I don't know if you've ever gotten this before.
and we're like thinking, oh, gosh, here we go.
It's going to be some, you know, Smeagle or something again, you know,
Lori Lightfoot.
But he goes, you sound exactly like Emma Stone.
Oh, yeah, I can hear that.
Yeah.
Rachel said she's like, I actually heard that a number of times.
Really?
I never caught out of that.
And you say, not even close.
Ew!
Yeah.

And I think Emily Duckworth is like,
Emma Stone, what is she in?
And he goes, Superbad.
I'm thinking of all the Emma Stone movies.
Yeah, to tell to a, yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I would definitely say La La La Land.
Yeah.
Thank you.

There's only 10 of them, so I will read them all off.
And at any point, you know that's like the first one.
Gotcha.
Okay, I can click on it.
Fun.
Okay, four minutes starts now.
Bilbo celebrates his 111th birthday.
First.
Well, maybe.
Oh, no, bad call.
We don't know for sure.
I didn't click me yet.
Isn't that like the exact first scene, though?
No.
It's not.
This is great already.
Do you want me to read more?
Isn't Gandalf?
Read more.
Gandhaw's going through the little on the wagon thing for a little while.
You're right.
Bilbo gives Frodo his sword.
Sting.
This is a lot of spoiler alerts here, guys.
Guys, you haven't seen it.
Come on.
I would be very disappointed.
Bilbo leaves the ring to Frodo.
That feels like the end.
Baromir is killed in battle.
Whoa.
Spoilers.
Frodo is stabbed by the Nazi.
It looks like Nazgoul.
When Frodo gets stabbed by the Nazi,
where is that?
Saruman captures Gandalf.
The fellowship arrives at La Thleyn.
The fellowship enters the minds of Moria.
the fellowship is pursued by a
Bowerog, dude, I'm embarrassed reading
this. I can't with you, we guys, watch this.
And in the last one, come on, the hobbits
reach the ballrog. The hobbits reach Rivendale.
Come on, guys.
Rivendale's pretty cool. You like Rivenau.
Okay, it's 111. Okay, okay.
11th birthday. 111st? 111st.
111st. What else
else do you know? Do you have an idea what's second?
Are we right? Yeah, yeah, good job. I showed up green.
Okay. Okay. So, Frodo is sword.
I think he leaves the ring with him.
That's like second.
Right?
Leaves the ring to Frodo.
Yeah.
Let's say yes.
Okay.
Two for two.
Okay.
Bar Mier is killed.
Frodo is stabbed.
Saramone captures Gandalf.

Later.
Where's Lahtarian?
Oh, that's like the bar, right?
Isn't that like the scary dark...
Say it again?
The fellowship arrives at Lothlorian.
Not the fellowship's later, though.
Oh, there's no fellowship till later.
There's three fellowship things.
So we need to pass us off for a little bit.
I think maybe the Gandalf thing is next.
The hobbits reach Rivendale?
Is that potentially third?
Okay.
I can't remember what happens.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Because, yeah, is Rivendale is dope, dude.
Bilbo goes for to his sword.
Is that possibly third?
Oh.
Barramir is killed in battle.
No, he gets the sword later.
Barramir, isn't that the huge,
isn't that usual on like pass?
No.
No, it's not.
No.
Maybe.
Frodo is stabbed.
Potentially third?
The Balrog is the Balrog,
is the big fiery thing.
Jake,
is the, you would know, right?
is the balladog? I don't think it is. Saraman captures Gandolf. Does that happen there?
That might be.
Every one I say, you guys go, that could be third. I'm going, I'm going. That's my inclination.
I'm okay with that. Because Gandalf gets away. We only got a minute and a half. We got
start making the decisions.
Sauraman captures Gandalf. That's correct. Let's go. Okay. What are the other things?
All right. Bilbo gives Frodo a sword. Frodo is stabbed by Nazgul. Baramir is killed in battle.
And then the hobbits reach Rivendale. The other three are fellowship related.
Well, what's the fellowship one? Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
While we're here.
The Fellowship arrives at Lothelorian.

Speaking of numbers, I saw a stat this week that for whatever reason, it's just like, I keep thinking
about it. It's not even that important, but it was like, there was a study that came out that
70% of Americans are not wearing the correct size shoe. And I just can't stop thinking about it.
I'm like, come on. Don't be one of those guys. You're wearing the right size shoe, right?
Right. And I'm nervous that I'm not. Interesting. Like 70% is most of us. Most of us are all doing this
wrong. Too big, too small? I don't know. We're,
Where did he go? Did you see here? Where he go? I don't know. How big do you need? You have right length, not right wide. Yeah, I don't know what the issue is, but 70% are not wearing the right size shoe. I hope I'm not one of them. I'm stressed about it. I think I'm probably wearing a half size too big right now. Big dog. I think so. Because it's like, Jesse finds, he's always finding shoes to resell. He's like, I found these, you want them? It's like, they're basically my size. I see. As long as I'm not running around in him. This is Jesse's fault. But I did play pickle.
ball on these like two days ago. So I guess they work to get out there. You in town this weekend?
This weekend. I think so. Oh, here we go. I just don't. Yeah, yeah, but really busy.
I wouldn't count on it. Sometimes when people ask me stuff like, hey, what are you doing Saturday?
I say, what's the next question? Because I need, I don't know what I'm doing, but like, do you,
do you want to hang out for an hour? Do you need something from me? Are you trying to play golf? Like,
that's a five hour commitment. What am I doing on Saturday? Like, I'm,
I don't have a ton of stuff going on.
Maybe I'll golf this weekend.
Maybe.
Dude, I just remembered about golf.
Dude, yes.
I've golfed it so long.
That's what I'm going to do this weekend.
You're going to love it.
You're going to love it.
I will golf.
It's pretty cold out this weekend.
I guess I was busy anyway.
Didn't even want to go see Michael Jackson with you again or whatever.
Dude, I'll debox with you if you want.
The stubs get you debox?

comment the week for me. I just rewatched an ad segment. That's right. You heard me. I just watched a
podcast ad twice. That good rancher's ad. That's so fun. Who knew? Who knew? It's always fun when somebody's
like, I hate that was like somebody, I think Natalie Calvert, SDC hookup said something like that for the
boom chap segment that we did. She's like, I've laughed out a lot a lot, but I don't know if I've
ever laughed out loud as hard as that. So I saw someone else be like, I'm sorry. I'm
Sorry, but it's annoying me that he's saying, chat.
Instead of clap.
I saw a YouTube comment that said that.

He's just like kind of growing up a little bit,
but he's still,
sometimes he acts like such a baby.
So I'm not trying to act like he's some,
you know,
teenager or whatever,
because sometimes I'm like,
what are you acting like Henry?
But other times,
like the other day,
we were playing baseball in the backyard.
And granted,
A,
we were playing with the Blitz ball,
you know,
those are like this.
Crazy spin.
Yeah,

his aluminum bat instead of his plastic bat okay but those two things combined he hit a actual
like over the fence home run in our backyard wow and he was so so proud of himself dude like
like he is he is so dude perfect like he was running around the bases like this let's go
Let's go!
Like ran inside and told Catherine like,
Mom, I hit a home run over the fence.
I bet five different times that night just goes,
I'm so proud of myself for hitting that home run.
I'm so proud of myself.
There is something about baseball specifically.
Like there are so many tears to your success.
Right.
And the home run being the pinnacle.
Like you know you did as good as you could with the home run.
It's literally, yeah, the best.
Yeah.
It's so fun to celebrate that.
It's unstoppable.
Like you can't you can't stop it if somebody hits it hard enough.
It's like it's over.
We can't we can't go get that ball.
It's gone.
Yeah, that's a fun aspect of it.
I mean, he did connect with this thing.
I mean, but yeah, it was an aluminum bat with this kind of heavy ball.
So proud of myself.
And he even made a rhyme.
Ready for this rhyme?
What is it?
Boom.
Chap.
Yeah.
He goes, uh, if I've told you once, I tell you again, I'm so proud of myself for hitting that home run again.
Again, rhymes perfectly with again.
And he was so proud of that.
And then Hattie's like, what?
You say like win or something.
He's like, no, Hattie, it's again.
No, it's again and again.
You see how perfectly rhymes?
I told you once.

about public school back in the day

I think his name was Andy.
Andy would come in and just, yeah, you pour whatever this they would concoction is on there.
Yeah, like this paprika on it or something.
Like, where'd you get that?
What does that do?
I was almost more bothered by the fact that Andy didn't seem to care.
Like, or like, no problem.
I got this.
I'll do it.
I got.
Oh, it's good.
Anybody else sick?
It was like, make me more sick, like the way that Andy would.

Appraisal, I think these guys work once every, you know, a couple times a month.
So that's going to be a while before he comes out.
But Peter is very optimistic that it should appraise appropriately.
The earnest money is coming.
So I think everyone, like, you know, wants the same thing here.
So we'll make it happen.
But the, yeah, sewage guy came out.
I mean, a classic blue-collar worker.
I mean, he's asking me who did it last time.
I don't know who did this.
He goes, well, I mean, yeah, we wouldn't have done it this way.
Oh, dude, yeah.
He's reading from a script of like, what's the most stereotypical?
thing the sewage inspector guy would say everyone everyone's the expert on this and yeah he hit me
with a who did this last time hit me with uh they did they did an okay job we we would we would
have focused on a few areas and spend a little more time on it but he did okay and and then he also
hit the the bingo mark on a you do 11,000 jobs and yeah you uh you have a certain way to doing
things whoa okay numbers guy 11,000 11,000 inspections he said let's call that one a day
no, three a day for 11 plus years.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's good math.
10 years maybe?
That's crazy.
Okay.
But yeah, sewage is good.
Good.
I just remembered something about this.
I almost didn't even, the sewage guy is downstairs.
I don't really know what it means to inspect my sewage,
but I suddenly have to go pee.
So I pee in the toilet.
and then I'm thinking, should I flush this right now?
I don't know what he's involved with.
Yeah, what's open down there.
But he also wasn't like, and as you know,
sue inspections, no running water.
You know, he didn't give me a disclosure,
a breakdown, like, don't do anything.
So I'm like, well, you know what, still,
I'm going to be safe.
I'm not going to flush the toilet.
I definitely wouldn't.
And I kid you not, I mean, probably three minutes later,
I'm like in my back bedroom and I hear a knock
at this like garage door.
That's how you get to the basin.
And it's him.
It's the sewage guy.
And he goes, hey, sorry,
I've been going back-to-back jobs today.
Can I use your bathroom real quick?
And I just like, yeah, hang on real quick.
And then I go in there and I don't know what to.
I just spas and I like flush it.
And I go, I normally flush my own toilet.
Yeah, yeah.
I just didn't know if you would like, I don't know what the rules are.
So like I flush my own toilet.
Yeah, I'm not like one of those guys.
I'm not like an Andy.
Right.
I'm just going to say I flush my own toilet and thanks for being here and have had it.
It takes as much time as you need.
That's hilarious, dude.
Of course he needed to use the toilet right after I just let my pee sit in there.
It's disgusting.
That's so funny.
What are the odds?
My sewage guy need to use the bathroom.
Surely that's happened to him before.
Yeah, maybe.
That exact scenario?
11,000 jobs.
Good point.
11,000.
That's happened at least 400 times.
But yeah, anyway,
he didn't really tell me if that would have blasted him or not.
I did.
Catherine did like the picture that got taken when Bo and I did powder cake.
So we bought it for $26 or something like that.
I did just send you guys a picture of it.
Just to throw in there as,
another just part of the win in the week.
Oh!
Bo just getting rocked backwards.
What is Bo's shirt?
Oh, it's just some random.
I like it.
I don't know what it is.
Oh, that's great.
That awesome.
Just, I mean, just
true, like, holy cow, what's happening
right now? Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
Like, just getting shot back, zero to 60.
A blast in the wilderness.
That's great.
Oh, that's awesome.
Anyway, fun times.
All right.
