Starting point is 00:00:00 Here's a question. Why does 12 ounces of coffee turn into a gallon of diarrhea? Oh, wow. Starting off strong. Or urine. I would say urine is more appropriate. That's what I felt yesterday when we were at the coffee shop. I peed twice.
Starting point is 00:00:16 I had one coffee, two bathroom visits. It is actually pretty confusing. Yeah. Like it's like it's multiplying inside of me. It's taking like liquid from a, take a little from the stomach. Let me take a little from the pancreas. Turn it all into urine. I don't know how it works.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Yeah, it's like water. You drink water, you kind of just like sits in there. Yeah. And then you drink coffee and it like, it just like brings all the water into itself and then just shoots out of you. Yes. In any way. Oh, yeah. In all kinds of ways.
Starting point is 00:00:43 All right. Now I'm trying to think. Does that feel relatable or not? Relatable or not, dude. Relatable dog. Now I'm trying to think like, do we do we produce water or liquids? Yeah. Like, or is it like all?
Starting point is 00:01:00 all from the time that we were a fetus, we get some water, you know, some liquid in our, in our body inside of us. And then, you know, we're out in the world and then we have to keep, like, is there any part of us that, like, adds our own to it? Because you're, like, you're adding 12 ounces, but you're shooting out 24. It's like, was that just from storage that's just gone now? Or is it like, oh, no, no. That's, that's actually from you turning, turning through some stuff down there. Let me answer your question with a personal story from every day of my life. I feel like I wake up and have to pee so bad. Yeah. But I didn't drink that much water right before bed or anything. Right. She, in fact, went to the bathroom before a bed. So maybe our body is making
Starting point is 00:01:41 its own water. Yeah, it's a good point too. That's a good point too. It is. It's a good point too. So that's how I would answer that. But I don't know what I like is your bladder ever fully empty. And if it is, how long until it fills up. Sometimes when you wake up in the morning, my, let's just get right into all this stuff. My pee is pretty clear. And I think, I don't know, why did I deserve that? That's good point.
Starting point is 00:02:08 You know what I mean? It's like, I don't, I mean, it hasn't, I'm not so hydrated. What's that about? I don't know. I don't know what it is. I'll get mad, like, that I woke up because I have to pee so bad. And like, I don't deserve this.
Starting point is 00:02:24 I like I peed right before bed Why am like I'm so cozy I'm so warm, my alarm doesn't go for 15 more minutes Ah, but it hurts Fine, I have to go pee Yeah, fine, I'll start my day, I'll take my level Here I go, fine Yeah, I don't, I don't know my bladder's getting smaller
Starting point is 00:02:40 I don't even know if that's a real thing Oh, it's a real thing Like bladder can change in size Oh, yeah I'm talking, I'm talking Three ounce max, dude You can't even finish a full cup It would be great to have a doctor on the show
Starting point is 00:02:53 and just be able to ask them every question. I got a friend right now. You need to call them out? Yeah, that'd be great. Let's roll. Let's roll the theme music and then we'll call Dr. Gilbert. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts on white.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Me too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast. Oh, that's a podcast. Everybody in morning who are taking around. Ghost on a spot.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Roll the theme music and then we'll call Dr. Gilbert. Hey. You know him? That's where I'm headed. Gilbert, Arizona. Yeah. That's good back to you. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I don't know. What kind of doctor is this guy? Oh, everything. He says, all. Okay. All right, let me give you his background. Is this one of those times where it's like, he doesn't want me to give like all these information?
Starting point is 00:03:57 So he lives in Memphis. Memphis. Smiths. Okay. You're seeing that video of this guy. It's like after a boxing match or something like that. And it's like, you know, the boxer and then his like crew, like his like coach and stuff. And this guy's like, let me tell you right now.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Mimps. Mives, Mives, Mives, Mills, Mels, Mifs. Because he got hitting the head really hard? No, this guy's like bragging on his boxer. Oh, that boxer. I think he's about that fight, man. Mimms, Mimms. Mives, Mils, Mifs.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Mives, Mifs, Mifs, Mifs, Mifs. Memphis, Memphis. Every time I think of Memphis. I haven't seen that clip, but I've heard the song Walk in in Memphis. Walking in Memphis. Doctor in Memphis. There's also a song called, You Ain't North, North, North, North, Memphis like me. We say that one a lot, too.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Is that from grits? It kind of sounds like grits. Okay. I don't know you guys can hear this, but they are really testing the tornadoes sirens right now. I'm giving it a good go. First Wednesday, baby. All right. So he also was, so he went to school for, he went to med school at University of Alabama.
Starting point is 00:05:01 And he was a trainer, medical, whatever, for the University of Alabama football team. Roll tied. So when they won the national championship back in the day, he's got a picture with Mac Jones, putting a cigar in his mouth. Oh, wow. The Mac Jones era. Yeah. So like, you know, all these people that are like, oh, we, those guys are so annoying. They're Alabama guys.
Starting point is 00:05:19 He's always like, they're actually really good guys. He's like, they're awesome. I loved it. Yeah, actually, that guy was awesome. What was the guy's name? There was some guy that we, like, had never heard of as a wide receiver back in the day. It was an Alabama guy. He's like, oh, Metchy, John Metchy, I think.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Oh, yeah, yeah. Is he Alabama? Anyway, yeah, he's actually awesome. He's a good, awesome guy. So Gilbert's also like the guy, he's from Canaacuck. Matt Gilbert's name. Oh, I do this guy. You know him?
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yeah, yeah. He's from Cana Cuck. He was like, you know, we always did like a skit, like a gospel skit that, like, represented, like, you know, characters represented the story of gospel. And he was always the Christ figure. Like, he's that. Yeah. He's that guy in camp back.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Just a stud of a guy. He knew he was going to be an awesome dot, whatever. But he's also goofy. So I could see him, I could see him going one of two ways here. I can see him being very professional or also being like, what's out, dad? And hopefully he's not working right now. He's the one who, his dad was the one that said Reginald.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Oh, wow. So yeah, he's the commissioner of our face of Willie. He texts all the time whenever he's working. So we'll see. What he has to see. Oh, hey, dude. Hey, you reach Matt Gilbert. What kind of questions do we ask?
Starting point is 00:06:33 We'll just text them some. Send a quick voice memo. Yeah. Catherine claims she got 960 on MapTap yesterday. Yeah, right. You believe that? Yeah, right. Nice try.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That's impossible. Nice try, Kath. All right. Yeah, quick voice memo, Gilbert. Matthew Gilbert. It's Brad Ellis. Oh, he's calling me back. Call me back.
Starting point is 00:07:04 What's up, dude? Are you working? I am getting lunch right now. I'm about to... Me too. I get lunch. Did I get lunch? Hey, Jake and I are recording the podcast right now?
Starting point is 00:07:23 And so you're live. Yeah. Maybe I'll go through with it. I don't know. Maybe. Well, we were just... We had some medical questions, and Jake's like, it'd be awesome to have a doctor on.
Starting point is 00:07:38 and ask him some medical questions. And I thought, hey, I know it, doctor. Okay. Pressure's on. So, yeah, no, yeah, it is. I have a lot of questions about urine. Is urine an area of expertise for you? Perfect.
Starting point is 00:07:52 No, let me pull up chat GPT right. I think we'll be good. How often are you using chat GPT, honestly? For medical staff, maybe every patient. There's actually a good one called open evidence. It's a good AI. You can find a lot of evidence openly. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:19 This is what we called you for. All right. So Jake, yeah, ask him what you were saying, Jake. All right. Just know that there's a lot more urine questions coming, but let's start with this one. Why does it feel like I drink 12 ounces of coffee and it turns into like 36 ounces of urine?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Yeah. There is a magnifying effect. actually, there's actually volume increasing in your bladder when that happens. I'm just kidding. I was like, what? Link has with a height? I'm trying to figure his out. It's just a really potent diuretic.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And so if you've got a lot of, if you've got a lot of fluids kind of in the body, then the coffee's going to help to filter it or kind of get that out a little bit more. It's just got different, different biochemical things that will help kind of bring that fluid. out into the kidneys and then obviously out. Oh. So it is like, it's borrowing, it's taking fluid from other organs and making it urine? Essentially, or, yeah, essentially other organs,
Starting point is 00:09:24 there's also kind of, well, there's like, this isn't really the same kind of, but there's like something called the third space. And so sometimes when you have like vein issues, you can get fluid that accumulates or builds up in this third space. not necessarily drawing fluid for that. But yeah, I guess other organs and just other areas of the body where there's extravascular fluid, I guess, is what you call it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Ask it your question. What was my question? Years is like, does it just like, do we make? Yeah, do we produce, in the least weird way, do we produce fluids? Like, or like, if we don't have water, obviously I know that water's essential. But like, like, do we produce fluids over time at all ourselves? or is it like completely from water and we just are always replenishing our body with water
Starting point is 00:10:15 and that's the only way that we get fluid. Does that make sense? Yeah, this is going way back to the kidney chapter and I don't know how much attention I pay to that. Okay. I'm just curious like when we're born, is it just like, hey, you got fluids and you got to keep replenishing them
Starting point is 00:10:32 or else you run out? Or is it like, yeah, you replenish half of them but your body also helped with half of them. I don't know. Yeah, so it's more like a filtering. system, I think. So the body, the kidneys are more of like a filtering system. So, yeah, I mean, you certainly have to replenish it and, and you have to replenish it in the right proportions as far as, like electrolytes, like sodium, chloride, things like that. But the kidneys do a really good job
Starting point is 00:10:59 at filtering it and making sure the ratios are pretty accurate. I can't wait for a nephrologist to come on here and just like, know what he said was all wrong. this guy yeah you you're a sports doc you know you was it was it was it was it was a john mechie was he alabama guy yeah yeah john mechie he's great i know i feel like yeah i mentioned a quick bio on you before we called you of like yeah you know gilbert all these people that we hated at alabama you're like actually that guy's a pretty good guy you know so yeah he's Canadian he's uh he's really nice uh i mean you know uh canada uh canada uh People are nice up there.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Yeah. Give us... Yeah, anyways, he's a good guy. Give us a quick... We're going to have some Alabama. We're going to have some SEC football fans on here. Give us some quick... Quick anecdote.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Enictote? About being, you know, with the team and everything. And then I have more questions. Anecdot... How was it being a national... Oh, you were the one that... Maybe I should... Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Yes, yes, yes, yes. Allegedly you... The national champion. badge. You can't remember that he, like, made it, made a second badge. That was like this, like, really bad replica of an actual badge. Yeah. So my co-boy, yeah, that was the national championship in Miami.
Starting point is 00:12:20 My co-fellow and I, like, the day of the game, took an Uber. It was in Miami, so we were staying on, like, the font in blue, which, you know, is the university paying for it, which was great. Cool. Because we were just, you know, measly fellows. But the morning of the game, I think it was the morning of, we went to a hobby-wobby. like in Miami took an Uber there and essentially figured out how to make a arm band that was similar to the one that so I had the actual one and he made the one that was
Starting point is 00:12:55 similar to it and I don't know if you guys I know you pulled the pictures up on the on the podcast and compare compared them at that point but yeah I mean we were out there and they didn't really ask questions because COVID was going on, and so everybody had to kind of stay in this box. So, and once you're out there, you're out there. Hey, what's your take on earwax? My tip with earwax, that's a great question. I did not learn this in medical school.
Starting point is 00:13:25 But my first tip is don't use Q-tips. I did learn that because you can just push it further in. Anecdotally, I use a bulb suction with warm water. and just make a little cup of water in my hands from in the shower and bulb suction from my hand and then gently squirt in the ear. Wow. You know, I'm sure an E&T is going to be like, don't do that either. But it works.
Starting point is 00:13:52 You're telling me there's conflicting views on medical stuff? No, never, never. Yeah. Wait, you have a bulb in your shower every day? Like an actual... No telling me how much mold is in it. I think it works. I think the Q-tip thing, that's one thing I'm like, I'll live with it.
Starting point is 00:14:13 That's that, that's a joy you can live with. You support big Q-tip. Yeah. I support whatever that feeling is. That is, I'm just fine with not being able to hear if it results in that feeling on your ear. It feels, it's like, you know, when the dog gets scratched in the belly in the perfect spot, that's what, that's, that's, that spot is the end. ear for us humans. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Matt, I fly to Malaysia tomorrow. Do you have any medical tips on fighting jet lag? Hydrate. Yeah, lots of hydration. Coffee. Coffee hydration. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, I'll double your fluids.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I got an aisle seat. Yeah, yeah, just hydrate, you know, sleep as far as. as, yeah, the jet lag. I mean, altitude-wise, I mean, is there a big difference in Malaysia and Kansas City? I don't know. I haven't map-tapped enough to know that. Oh, okay, map-tapped. Yeah, he's, he's ghosty.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah. I got like 940 today, so. Uh-oh. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know the altitude in Malaysia. Okay, that's a good question, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I'm sure it does. Hydration's always a good thing, so. Last question, because I know you're eating lunch right now. What is the medical community stuff? thoughts on yons, yawning. Why do they happen? Why are they contagious? Good question.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Wow. I've been waiting to talk to a doctor. Neuroblock. Yeah, lack of oxygen to the brain. Trying to get more oxygen to the brain when you're tired. You're not really getting that. At least that's kind of what I remember from that, I think. So, you know, and a lot of times, I don't know if you realize it,
Starting point is 00:16:01 If you take a yawn, sometimes you'll feel a little bit more energized immediately after it. And then if you're super tired, obviously, you'll get tired again. But actually, it's funny, I've noticed that with my, like, our one-year-old. She's getting really tired. She'll yawn really big, and she'll somehow have a burst of energy, and then she'll start to get tired again. Yeah, true. It's just like a shot of energy. Just like a 30-second shot.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yeah, espresso. Yeah. so so yeah sprinters right before they run you see them ya 100 meter dash they're all yawning in the blocks all right dude we'll let you go hey I'm wearing my uh reg Mungola hat right now and Jake was like what in the world is on your hat and every single time I wear it like I'm almost like nervous to wear it in public these days because it's always like what's what's going on it's like you got to explain the whole thing but um I just have a weird
Starting point is 00:16:57 friend named Matt that throws those weird names out there. You never, you know, you ever know what's coming next. Yeah. All right, bro. Hey, love you. We'll talk to you later. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Let me go see you. Thanks. All right. Roll tide. Roll tide. Roll tide. Roll, baby. Those are good questions.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Yeah. There's so many things. I was trying to really think. I was like, oh, this is my chance. I know. Well, we got more. He's a phone call away. We can call him back right now.
Starting point is 00:17:29 You got one? Hey, you know, lunch? Hey, just checking in on lunch. If you have a question, Ghosties, about what episode something is in, our boy Brandon Faulkner has made a website for you. Really? Let me look this up real quick. The exact URL.
Starting point is 00:17:51 If you go, my friends, to Brandon's dash coffee. Oh, geez, this is a weird website. Sorry, Brandon. Branden's-coffee-corner. Dot Vercell, V-E-R-C-E-L. Why don't we put this in the description? No doubt, no doubt. Brandon's-coffey-C-C-Norner.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Vercell. Check it out right now. You want me to... I'll copy and paste it to you there, Jake. He made a website that has a way to look up every single transcript that we've ever had on YouTube. And so anytime... So if you have a key word of like, what's...
Starting point is 00:18:31 Where was Amish Jams, you know? or how many times we mentioned Amish Jams or whatever, you can look it up there and it'll show you all the episodes that's in. Fun. I'm going to search breakfast. Breakfast. Wow. This is pretty sweet.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Yeah. Just all the episodes. Breakfast has come up in 17 episodes. Really? Yeah. We should be talking about breakfast more. Yeah. Yeah, Brandon, working hard, dude, always.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Brandon is the man. If you remember Brandon, it's called Brain's Coffee. corner because the inside joke. Brandon was on the first, he was on multiple ghostrunners getaways, but the first one, he would get up early and go chill in the pool with his coffee in the corner. And I remember one morning going and hanging out with him at the pool, brain his coffee corner. It was awesome. And so then he was like, yeah, every day, every day, I'll be there with my coffee if anybody wants to come hang out. That's fun. I search Brandon. Apparently we've said the name Brandon in four episodes. Only four. Looks like this is pulling from
Starting point is 00:19:29 like the YouTube. I think maybe. Library. And he said, I don't think they're all quite there yet. So, right. Because I think it costs some, oh, what was like, $5 for every episode or something? No way. No, it's not that. What did he say? It was like enough to where I was like, dude, that kind of adds up. He's like, no, I'm sorry, 25 cents. Still, 25 cents for 500 episodes. Adds up a little bit. It's got the views on the right side here, too. That's kind of nice. And credit to Brandon, this doesn't look like it was done on like Claude or something. I think this is done with Brandon. Broad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Broad. Yeah. Brandon's the man. Yeah. So I just wanted to shout. He sent me this like a week ago and I forgot to talk about it. So talking about it now. Check it out.

Starting point is 00:22:04 I mean, I'm a thief, basic. I'm like, I, the mint debacle was just a bummer, I think. I think that I, had I thought more about it, I could have, I could have been like, you know, there's a lot of mince to just take from their complimentary. So what, tell us from your perspective, what happened? I'll tell you my question. So I think you just texted Jake and I, and you were just like, told Drew about the mints, and he's actually kind of mad about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And I was like, I remember when I read that, I was like, that, I honestly was like, I'll just wait for more information. Like maybe he's not actually, like, I don't know, maybe he's not actually mad. Maybe it's kind of just like he was being. goofy, whatever. But then it was like, I think we talked a little bit about it. We like went a little back and forth. Then you tried to text just Jake.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And you were like, yeah, Drew's actually mad. Like, we should, we should have like them confront each other or whatever. And I was like, at that point I was like, I should just like apologize in some way. I was like. So I miss that. You miss that? Yeah, I wasn't on my phone to see it and unsent it. That was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I was like, dude, this is pretty. we should have Drew call in to the podcast. It'd like confront him about it. Yeah. So that was the point where I was like, I, like, I actually feel really bad. I want to just somehow be like, hey, I can try to come up with how many minutes I'm had to take in and like pay you back somehow. Like, I sent a Brad a video to like send to Drew.
Starting point is 00:23:42 What? Yeah. Do you want to play it real quick? You want to, you want to send that? So, so let me just, let me just preface this whole thing. This is all lie. I knew it. I was best with you time
Starting point is 00:23:53 Dang it I was like it has to me I Wow I got Fala is worth $33 billion dollars Take as many minutes as you want So
Starting point is 00:24:04 So okay Let me let me give So That's amazing You should have had me Play the apology video Before you told me that We're gonna play it
Starting point is 00:24:13 So I'll give you the whole thing I couldn't tell I couldn't tell Like timing Tyman played along So well that I was like Is timing this time of
Starting point is 00:24:21 also think it's messed up. And he's like, he's like pranking me back. Like, whatever. Well, that's what I thought it was. I felt genuinely bad. I thought we're all on the same page. Like Brad's take like, like Brad won't quit. This is kind of hilarious that Brad continues to double down. But I think you, then you triple down. And I think that's when I was like, dude, maybe this is. I think the undue sinned really benefit. That was a go move. Because time was responding back quick. So I was like, he's on his phone. He's checking these things. Yeah. I'm going to pretend like I admit to send it to Jay. I was nervous. That's genius. I was nervous to say anything. I was like, I don't know what Timman knows. And I
Starting point is 00:24:50 know this is a joke. So I don't want to spoil anything. I didn't want to bring it up on the podcast. It's like, I don't know what the long game is here. But I was like, I know, Brad. I could have, I could have let it go so much longer. Tim Wood, would you like to send a video? That's what I was like, all right. All right. So, so I wrote, so I wrote to you at Chick-fil-A-Lena-Xa just told Drew about the mince and he's, I said he's peed. He's mad. He says, he says those are five times more expensive than the single sauce packet. He's tried to get rid of them since he realized that but corporate won't let him. The amount of detail you put in all the news is like this is such a Brad price.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I know that was great. That's the best lie of all time because he said he gave made specifics about it. Oh, well, Brad, you even like, you gave way more specifics. Time of go, shoot, seriously? There goes the one reason I go there. And I said, just heard some discussion. Seems like they're having like a leadership meeting or something. And I overheard them saying they should move the mince to behind the counter so that people don't take too many.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Time says, what have I done? I can't show my face in there anymore, right? And then he just said, this is awful. And I said, Drew said he was going to check the camera to see what you looked like. But honestly, I can never tell if he's serious or not. He seemed pretty serious, though. Which is true. That's pretty believable.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Drew, yeah. Like, I'm like, I don't know if he's really like going to check cameras, you know, whatever. And then time it goes. And now Claire's going to get fired for bringing me more. That was me. I was like joking about that. But like, oh, I was eating up the other stuff. Not the checking the cameras, but like you, like, that mess.
Starting point is 00:26:20 She'd be like, we should like change the mint set up. Yeah, yeah. I was like, dang, that was me. That was all me that did that. I know. I almost convinced or like, I was talking to this girl, Haley, about it later. I was like, well, you just, like, maybe we should like have you, like, taking the mints back. Get a video.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And I would, like, have like a candid quick shot of you, like, bringing it back. Anyway. And I was like, I told him you were a good kid, though. And I didn't out, Claire, don't worry. And I was like, oh, but shoot the cameras. You know, they're going to find Claire on the camera, whatever. Timman said, I'll just have to ask Drew who their mint supplier is, then buy them themselves. And I was like, oh, dude, way ahead of you.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Apparently they sell them in bulk behind the counter, kind of like if you want CFA sauce and they give you one of those big bottles. I was going to buy one to surprise you, but they're $30 per bag. I was confused by that because I had actually looked it up and they sell them to only employees and it's $20 per batch. Okay. Well, I've charged the customer. He really did.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Yeah. Tim said, wow, they're seriously expensive. but I've just been guzzling them down. I said, yeah, apparently they're one of the only things they actively lose money on. He said it's the mints, the water cups, and their blueberries. Who knew? Yeah, that was where I was like, this is such a brag.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's funny. All this supplementary detail. The more we look back on it, the less I feel at all dumb for falling. I'm like, you executed it perfectly. And so then Timensen's like, hey, what about these other Amazon mints? And then that's when I sent the text.
Starting point is 00:27:47 It was meant to be. for me. Gosh, that was so smart. I think we should have Drew call into the podcast. He's, like, actually kind of mad. It would be great to, like, watch time. And you let that sit for how long? 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:27:57 You're like, timing probably saw it. I think maybe a minute, quick. And you unsend it. And then you did see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I said, whoops, min to send that just to Jake, L.O.L. Wow. And then Timon said, I may be shrivel up and die if the confrontation was on the podcast,
Starting point is 00:28:12 but I actually do want to go to Chick-fil-A and for real apologize, because now it feels like I've been straight up stealing. I said, dude, send in a video real quick and I'll show it to him. That's where I was like, that's the end game. That's what he wants. So, Timon,
Starting point is 00:28:24 you want to, I can't remember what I said in this. This is going to be so bad. I think it's like a minute long. It's going to make everyone love you so much more time. It's just like, Tyman's the sweetest kid. Drew,
Starting point is 00:28:34 I think that's why this is such a good prank to me because I was like, I don't want to, I don't want to steal from anybody. Yeah. Drew calls me later. He's like, what are we going to do about this poor kid? I mean,
Starting point is 00:28:43 he's like, Drew felt terrible about it. Drew's like, he's like, dude he's like you guys live in sarcasm i am not a sarcastic guy and so i just feel so bad you know whatever anyway all right so play this video i'll play this hey drew it's timon i am so sorry for all the mince that i've taken um i really don't know how many but i don't even know how many decent amount sometimes when i'm working there and i've been i've been knowing about the mince
Starting point is 00:29:09 for maybe two months or so i've been so i feel bad and i really don't want to like just make light of if it was like super frustrating and knowing now that it was like oh they're expensive and they you kind of actively lose a lot of money on them anyway I sell for everything from you guys and I did not want that at all um so I'm happy to pay you back for however my best calculation of however many the myths were that didn't make sense um anyway like seriously I do feel bad I'm genuinely very sorry I don't want to just breeze past it um so yeah I hope you have a great day And I'm happy to discuss paying you back.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And let me know who your mint supplier is. Because you want to buy them starting the source next time. Wait a, I'm so sorry. Hamburger. That's a great apology video. Thanks. Great YouTuber apology video. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:02 End of the story is that I ordered time in a box of 1,000 Chick-fil-A mint. Oh! It's worth it, buddy. That's great. It's coming tomorrow. Oh, that's great. No way. Mint it up.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah. That's amazing. So you asked you're like, hey, where do you get these? I was talking to Haley. Yeah, afterwards. I told her the whole story after Drew. You know,
Starting point is 00:30:23 funny. That's amazing. Drew, it was actually Drew's idea initially to say, hey, tell him we're going to have to put him behind the counter. Because I was so many of them. That was his idea.
Starting point is 00:30:30 That was his one contribution. And I went with the rest of it. That's funny. But yeah, he was like, we got to tell him. We got to tell him. Like,
Starting point is 00:30:37 he felt so bad, you know, like he'll be fine. But you genuinely believed it the whole thing, time. Yes. I think there were, yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:44 I thought you were playing along. Because Jake was, like, laughing at some of the texts. So, Jake understands. Yeah. But maybe Jake was, like, laughing at the situation of like, oh, man, poor time. Because I think I truly only had my guard up at, like, the very beginning of like, I didn't, I don't think I responded for a second because I was like, I don't know if I believe this. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:04 But then there were too many details for me to not believe. I was like, so that video. The water cups. The man. Nothing is fake in that video. In the blueberries. Yeah, blueberries are lost leaders. That's why you only get like four per free.
Starting point is 00:31:15 fruit cop. Yeah, that video, nothing in that video was like, a farce. I was like, I just like, I feel so bad. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:31:26 That's crazy. Yeah, it's like, dude, I wouldn't even show your face in here, just in the video. And like, don't even,
Starting point is 00:31:31 don't even come in. Yeah, he's mad. Move to Phoenix. That's so good. And Haley, I told Haley about, she's like,
Starting point is 00:31:38 why would we put them out for everyone to have if they cost much money? Just like, find cheaper mints. Yeah. Yeah. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Chick-flilinexas. Shout out to them. I told Drew this. It's not mainstream roasters, but it's, they have complimentary coffee in the mornings. I got breakfast now. Drew?
Starting point is 00:31:59 Yes. I think, I was like, that's the most genius thing you've ever done. Yeah. Because Chick-fil-A coffee is notoriously bad.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I might not move. But if it's free coffee, it all of a sudden is like way more valuable. It's better. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, I would never want to buy this coffee.
Starting point is 00:32:14 But maybe. And if it's free, good for you guys. Like, I will drink some of it. Are you going to come in? It's a blessing. So, yeah. And they're like, yeah, we agree with everything you're saying. Apparently, though, like, Haley was telling me the mission behind their coffee, like,
Starting point is 00:32:30 supplier or whatever is really cool. Like, not only are they doing, like, fair trade for them, but they're, like, advocating for fair trade for all these other coffee. Oh, that's great. Like suppliers in the world. And so it's like, you got to help them out. Or you got to keep with them. We can't just like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:46 They're like, why can't they fix the bad coffee? I don't know. Make it better? Yeah, why? I don't know. I don't know why it's not better. But anyway, fun fact for you. So that's the, that's the Chick-fil-A saga with time and the mince.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Wow. I forgot about that. Yeah, me too. I was like, I had written down my time and mince. I was like, oh, yeah, we got to talk about this. Good job. Have you been, have you been living with it or has it like? I had, I didn't really think about it.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah. Post video, I was like, I've done what I need to do. Yeah. I'll wait for Drew to respond. Yeah. So I didn't really think about much After that. Man, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I would, I would love to like, what if we would have gotten, like, video footage and, like, had a screenshot of it, like, time and, like, just grabbing the mince. Is this huge? Looks like big foot footage. Dude, they found you, you know, whatever. Dude, speaking of hot coffee,
Starting point is 00:33:33 I drove past a, what was this? Maybe Saturday afternoon. Rachel was out of town. I played a lot of sports as because it was great. You reminded me golf last week. I'm getting off topic. I drive past 87th Parkway.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I look to my right, Lenoxa Baptist Church. It looks beautiful in the Saturday sun. There's people out there kind of gardening, doing some landscaping. I'm like, what if the deacons are out, you know? What if the deacons are doing their thing? And then, I mean, a quarter of a mile later,
Starting point is 00:34:00 I looked to my left, all these protesters. Oh, by Chick-Flay. Yeah. I don't know, like, is that a word? It's not that, like, popular of an intersection. I was like, what an odd spot to protest. I feel like I've seen that before, though. Every Saturday.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Every Saturday they protest right there. Sure do. See, I had no idea. I thought it was an odd location. What I especially thought was odd was the age demographic. Oh, really? Have you noticed this? No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Very, very old protesters. Okay. Interesting. And when I get, the reason I said, speaking, hot coffee, is because so many signs say honk for no ice, and it just seems like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:34:35 you stand up for hot coffee. Tap water's fine. Luke warm. Yeah. Luke warm. They do it. in Europe. Everyone there is fine. Yeah, it's just funny, like, without any context. So many signs of like, honk if you're done with ice. Hunk for no ice. Huck for no ice.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Crashed or nothing. Down with cubes. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. That's funny. Hunk for no ice was a sign I saw. That'd be, so from what I understand, I think they're usually, I haven't heard, I've heard my friends talk about it because like on upward days and stuff. Saturdays, like, people will be going to the game and they'd see them there or whatever. No Kings protest or whatever, whatever. Um, but it's often right outside of Chick-fil-A. I think that's why they're there maybe. I don't know. But I think the Chick-Fleigh workers will come and like just unreasonable hospitality. He's like, give them free food. Give them. So that'd be funny if they like bring out all this stuff. Like, I know you don't like ice. So here's all your,
Starting point is 00:35:34 here's all your drinks. Here's a milkshake. It's, uh, it's pretty runny. Yeah. Sorry, we didn't. Hey, You asked for it. Yeah. It's just chocolate syrup. There you go. But yeah. That's funny. Yeah, I've heard about that, but I hadn't seen. I've never noticed them myself.
Starting point is 00:35:52 It was kind of like interesting. Yeah, just seeing how old they all are. And I was like, we're. Yeah, they do this every week, I guess. So I go to Hawaiian Bros. In there, when I get done with Hawaiian Bros. You know, it's 30 minutes later. And then I see the aftermath of a protest,
Starting point is 00:36:05 which is like kind of a unique scene. You never really see that before. Like everyone sees people with their signs and they're getting fired up. Yeah, they honked. But what you don't see is people like, putting signs away in their trunk. It was like funny.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Like, I don't know. It was like very melancholy. Like, folding a seat down to like fix it. Like someone like, Sharon, Sharon, I think this is your sign.
Starting point is 00:36:21 You dropped it. I found it back there. It's just the, the post protest logistics of like, oh, I can't remember where I parked and whatever. Yeah. Chippole for lunch?
Starting point is 00:36:30 Yeah. He was beautiful. It was art. Oh, yeah, you don't, you don't realize like, hey,
Starting point is 00:36:36 they have, they have lives outside of this too. Mm-hmm. They got to put the signs in the trunk. Protester people too. Mm-hmm. Dude, sweeping, sweeping Kansas City right now.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Have you heard about Hawaiian Bros? Timon? Oh, Timon. No, nothing specific recently. Okay. What's going on? Timon. What?
Starting point is 00:36:54 It's sweeping Kansas City. Yeah. I feel like once it's, it's getting out of control. I think it's, it's about two weeks away from not happening anymore, as my guess, or something. So, it's like an insane deal or something?
Starting point is 00:37:04 What did you see online? Sorry, when it first came out. Yeah, let's explain it first. So, uh, Hawaiian Bros is a restaurant in town, we'll call it a mid-tier, like a little bit higher-end, like fast food restaurant. Higher end in the prices. Exactly. We'll get to that.
Starting point is 00:37:20 It's like $15, $15 probably for a regular plate, give or take. Is there any fast food quicker than Hawaiian bros though? Hmm. Panda. I'll answer that. No. No. There's not. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I have a theory. You go on. I'll save my theory for later. Okay. So Hawaiian Bros is doing this promotion where every time the Royals, who are the hometown baseball team, Diamond. Oh, okay. Which is a cylinder bat.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Yeah, diamond, kind of. And this is Kansas City. Kansas City. Right. Kansas City. But this, it actually applies to a bunch of different stores all around. Across state.
Starting point is 00:37:52 It's federal. Yeah, Midwest. Wow. Wow. But every time the Royals play at home and get six runs, which is like points in baseball. Okay. Every time they get six runs,
Starting point is 00:38:03 everyone that has their, the Hawaiian Bros app gets a free $15 dollar classic plate meal everyone not first 100 not not first 100 not first 100 not first 1,000 not with your ticket stub nothing just everyone in town yeah and I think last year the royals did this like scored six runs at home like 12 times 14 times something like this right yeah this year it's already happened like eight times it happened like back to back to back nights last weekend or something that's amazing and everybody that has the app can do it. So like, it's not like, oh, Jake got it, but Rachel can't do it. No, no, just order separately.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I got seven cell phones, brother. Yeah, my buddy Scott's like, yeah, my son's getting it. You know, like, like, I mean, and so. That's awesome. I mean, they're, they're shucking out the hoolly, hoolly chicken, but probably making, you know, $200 a day. Like I, I went in there the other day and I was so tempted, slash almost felt obligated to tell this person ordering at the kiosk, like, hey, just download the app and you get this for free. You don't have to pay for any of this. Look at this line. It's like, they're not going to make any money.
Starting point is 00:39:15 They need it. Let them pay. And so, anyway, it's kind of sweeping the, uh, the bros, the, the brosphere. Yeah. In Kansas City, like, because yeah, once you know about it, it's like, I'm falling the royals now. They spoke five runs last night. I was like, come on. One more.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Come on, boys. One more, boys. Come on. They won five. They only have to win. They just have to score six runs. That's amazing. It's wild.
Starting point is 00:39:37 That's crazy. So follow the Royals timing for more. The pictures I saw on Reddit were just like, I don't know, like apocalyptic. We've all ran out of toilet paper. Just like a crazy line of cars. Really? Just to get, yeah, yeah, like the first weekend when they were going back to back to back. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Shawnee location is always pretty chill. So if anybody's in Kansas City. Come over to our side. Come on out to Shawnee. But yeah, I want to see like what they're going to do to respond to this. Because last night, apparently they closed at 10 or 11. They closed late. They close 11.
Starting point is 00:40:07 And my buddy Sam was like, do I try to order, but they won't let you. And it was like 8 p.m. It said like pickup is no longer available because it's too late or something like that's how they're getting. Yeah. So I don't know. I wonder if that's what they're going to do is just like limit how many people can order on the app or something.
Starting point is 00:40:25 But it's like they made a huge mistake. Yeah. Like surely they think this, right? I mean, unless they have some customer data to show like the average, you know, lifetime value of a customer of a new customer, it's like, Like, all right, we just got to take our chances and like just, yeah, take it on the chin for a while. And maybe a lot of people are buying Dole Whip or whatever they sell. Yeah, upsell, whatever.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yeah, getting one of those like 10 ounce cans of Hawaiian punch. Yeah. Also, don't you have to upgrade? Like, doesn't it still cost for a drink even if you get like a plate thing? Yes, it does. So maybe that's not covered, right? Is it right? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:40:59 So they're making a few bucks. Yeah. That's crazy, though. Fountain drinks, and I'll get back to my Hawaiian Roast theory, I'm fed up. Oh, poultry of the week. Graft up. Is fountain drinks in a place like Hawaiian burrows or longboards,
Starting point is 00:41:14 anywhere that I go inside of, where if you want water out of fountain drink, it actually shares it with the high sea fruit punch. And then what do I get when I press water? Oh, a little bit of red in my water. Oh, yeah? Can we not separate this? Is that impossible?
Starting point is 00:41:29 90% of fountain drinks share the water with something else that is like a crazy color and taste. Or like high sea orange lava burst. And it's like, I know I press water. I taste some lava first. I can still taste them in there. Yeah, I don't like sharing spouts. Just give it its own lane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:44 It can't be that hard. I feel like I see it with lemonade more often. And that's like, it's always like. It's a fun little treat for me. It's like, yeah. I can taste a hint of lemon. Sometimes I accidentally press the lemonade for a half seconds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Water of lemon. Yeah, it's always like the one that's like connected to the non-sparkling. Yeah. Ice tea. Lemonadey. Yeah. And I think there's a divot in there somewhere about a diluted version of something is always worse. Like,
Starting point is 00:42:10 Gatorade tastes better than water, objectively. But I would so much rather I have 100% water than 98% water and 2% Gatorade. Like having a little dilution. Yeah. It tastes like such water down Gatorade. I'd rather just have the water. I know. Yeah, maybe they just need another little spout.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Just give me another spout. It's like adding a breaker to your box. It's easy, right? Electricians could do it. Can we do a breaker for the water? Yeah. That would you say? All right, I want to hear your theory.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I've complained before about how many questions they ask you in the drive-thru of Hawaiian Bros. You know, you cut on to that. It's like-cash-a-card. Yeah, why do you know that? They need to know your name when I'm the only one there. They need to know cash or card. Are you a member? Well, you know, you want a free doll-wip?
Starting point is 00:42:50 And maybe there's one other question. Oh, yeah. But I feel like they do this because they get your order and then they ask you five annoying questions. But what happens is you pull up and your food is always waiting on you. I think they do it. So it gives you like a good customer feeling of like, wow, I don't have to at all. That's not a bad thought. That's not a bad thought. It's like, that's my theory.
Starting point is 00:43:09 It's like you say every time I go to Hawaiian Bros, I get my food immediately. And the reason is because you wait in line a little bit longer. Yeah, they need to ask your name when you could see each other through the window. Yeah. And can you get a name for that? What? Me? You just say no. You can, you can literally see my lips moving. It's me. I'll be there in five steps. It's a single lane drive-through. No one is here. It's daylight. Yeah, that's not a bad thought. Me is coming soon. And they need know cash or card, there's no way they need to know that. Just another, another step. Just ask, he's like shuffling. Ask him, but make something up. Cash or card. I'm almost done. That's a great theory. Yeah, I don't, I don't see any holes. Because they're so fast. They never have to wait.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Yeah. It's a drive-by. You've already paid at the first window. Thank you. And you just keep driving in the second window. Yeah, it could be. You know, the Oklahoma Joe is like barbecue spot in town. They always have a long line, but they don't have that many seats, but they always like intentionally like, wait like I think they could go faster in line if they wanted to but they wait so that there's always a seat open so the supply meets the demand a little bit yeah so it's not the exact same thing but it's like that's a better experience than like yeah we went right through the line but then we just had to stand up and eat our sandwich yeah you know what I mean so I like that theory uh do you don't remember timing you're literally I don't think you were born for this but growing up in our childhood
Starting point is 00:44:29 said I'll be saying you might remember just because you had a cousin who lived in Kin City um Do you remember the Krispy Kreme summers in Kansas City? No. Do you know about it? No. Oh, dude. It was like... KKS?
Starting point is 00:44:42 It was, it was the best of times. It was like the prime of life. The Royals are a baseball team timing. Okay. Where they're they based? Where are they based? In Kansas City, Missouri. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:54 For now. No, stills. But they're just historically, my whole life, they've been bad. Like, yeah. They won, they finally, like, got good in 2015. It was awesome. But, like, My whole life, growing up, it was just like, Royals are bad.
Starting point is 00:45:08 And then they decided to do this promotion where if you went to the game and the Royals got 12 hits, you could take your ticket stub to Krispy Cream and you get a free 12 dozen or one dozen donuts, 12 donuts. And that, I think it was like 2003. That summer, the Royals got good. Oh. The Royals got hot. King Harvey. Raula Bonas.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Raula Bonas. Mike Sweetie. Watch out. Joe Randah's up to bat. They did have a random good year in there. Yes. Almost made the playoffs. That's how good of a year is.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Jose Lima. Almost one of the top. Yeah. 12. Yeah. But for whatever reason, dude, we, I mean, it was, they got 12 hits a lot. Lima time. And it was electric when they had 11 hits and there was a guy up to bat.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I mean, I was. Come on. Yes. You know, like, that's a great deal. Because it's not just like if it's on TV and they, like you had to have been there. Yeah. So I bet the stadium was. going nuts. It was awesome, dude. You went, we went crazy. And then, like, you were like,
Starting point is 00:46:09 let's go right now. Let's go after the game. You know, because I think you only had 24 hours to redeem the Christmas cream. Yeah, it's like, when am I going to be more hungry than right now for a bunch of donuts? It was wild. And so, like, yeah, you go with your church youth group, every single kid gets a dozen donuts. It's just insane. We did a thing like that in Springfield, which is like, you know, it's only minor leagues and it's, the Springfield Cardinals, it's kind of in a rough part of Springfield, too. So if the Cardinals, it's kind of a rougher part of Springfield, too. So if the Cardinals got, they scored 10 runs. They gave free methamphetamine
Starting point is 00:46:37 to everyone in the parking lot afterwards. And the crowd was fired off. The crowd was itching for it. I remember that. A free thing of pseudofed. Like, all right, we'll get you halfway there. What was I going to say? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Royals. Anyway, it was, it was just a wild time. It was awesome. You seen semi-pro with Bill Farrell, that basketball movie? Yeah. I think if they, if they score 100, 25 points or whatever.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Everybody gets free corn dogs. They don't even have corn dogs. You know, it's like we can't afford this. They're like a minor league basketball team. 125 points. Yeah. And so Will Ferrell is actively trying to like play defense on his own team because he's
Starting point is 00:47:15 also the owner. That's right. This foreigner ends up scoring it. I do want to. I would be interested to see like an article of like the worst mistakes that a promotion like a company has ever made. Yeah. Like yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Like because I'm like, are they going to go out of business? Is why I'm bro is going to like some of these charity golf tournaments? If you make a whole in one, we'll give me a million dollars. It's like, is that interesting. insured or like who is putting up this money or half time things if you can make the put across the court yeah I mean because that yeah this thing about the Hawaiian bros is like it's it's unlimited it's like that's what's so grab an iPad grab somebody else's phone yes like like it's like
Starting point is 00:47:52 it's like we could all do it like no there's no stipulation besides just you could come in from out of state yes get you free yes like it works in Arkansas I think it works in Omaha Like, just everyone's going to be a royals fan now. Like, so anyway, uh, just, it's sweeping, sweeping the city time. And so it'd be following the royals. Great. Only at home, though. I will.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Okay. If they're away, it doesn't matter. Yep. The boys are playing some ball. What a beat. I don't know what to, what do I sing to that? I can't even hear it. You can't?

BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. I mentioned on Monday's episode that I went to Walmart. The reason I initially went is, like I said, Rachel's out of town, and she sends me a text, and she's like, shoot, I forgot to do this before I left.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Can you do me a huge favor and give me 350 popsicles? Absolutely. This is where my vows were signed up. Yeah, no, I knew. I knew this a day would come. So I go to Walmart and get a bunch of popsicles. And a couple observations. One, I'm making front of my stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:23 self here. If you saw the way I like navigated and scoured and scheme to get the closest parking spot, you would think I'm a paraplegic. Right. And then when I think about it, I go, it's a nice day outside. Why is that? Why do I care? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Park at home. Yeah. Like, why am I even driving in general? You know, like, that's relatable. Like, I'm gamifying it. Like, well, if I come in this way, then I don't have to make a wrong decision later. Whatever. Just who cares? Especially Walmart because they got angled parking. They got angles. So it's like, I need to come in this way or whatever. It's like, I don't, I don't mind walking at all. I don't care about this.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I am so one side or the other. Sometimes I'm like, I will, I might be an expected mother for a few minutes here. I don't care. No one, no one's here. It's high in 1130. I got a hat on in a big hoodie. They won't know. Yeah, just put a pillow under there.
Starting point is 00:52:10 But other times I'm like, I don't care. I'll park way back here. Who cares the parking spot? It's going to take three more seconds. Yeah. Yes, I get it. Both, both those things. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Other observation was when you have a shopping cart with only 350 popsicles in it. The kids look at you like your Santa Claus. I feel like I could see those kids and just like looking at me and I can almost imagine them being like when I'm an adult, that's what I'm going to do. Like, why doesn't my mom do that?
Starting point is 00:52:37 Yeah, yeah. Why doesn't my mom fill the driving cart? Like he does it. Yeah, he's an adult. The kids look at you like your Santa Claus. The parents are like, come a little closer to me, please. Yeah. Yeah, he works in pickleball.
Starting point is 00:52:48 He's made some weird choices. So when you say popsicles, are you talking, they're pre-frozen? Are they the like pop ice? Yeah, this is like juice in a bag. Yeah, pop ice, flavor ice, whatever you call them. I was gonna say, that'd be tough to keep popsicles. Like the ones on the stick, tough, tough to keep 350.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Get them home in time. Yeah, you better hurry. Yeah, these come in liquid for them. Take it forever to freeze, though. Really? You take it out of the box? I'm having to do that. I'm having to spread them all out, take them out of their bag.
Starting point is 00:53:15 They came pretty much in the same bag that the guy in the oranges did. The deep freeze? Yeah, put them in the bottom of the deep freeze. Oh, should you put them on the bottom? Top? I don't know. I don't know either. Like, do you need some airflow?
Starting point is 00:53:27 Do you need less airflow? Yeah, should I be hanging them like a meat locker? I think you should be hanging like a meat locker. Staple every single one of them up around here. Oh, interesting. So what were they for? They were just for kids? I really haven't even asked how many questions.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Yeah, something with Rachel's school, I think doing a lesson. Okay. Those things are awesome, dude. Oh, I know what it is. I think this is truly just, maybe it has something to do with her lesson, but she's like telling her classrooms. She's like the faculty knows, the teachers know. She's telling the kids that she's leaving now.
Starting point is 00:53:56 So she's kind of like, um, softening the blow a little bit. And she learned on Monday, she was like, um, I'm leaving, but I got you guys popsicles. And it turns out they really did not like, I got villainized again. And so she's like, I need to, I need to stand up for you a little more. So now the strategy is I'm leaving, but my husband feels so bad that he got you popsicles. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:54:20 She said she did that yesterday and that went way better. Okay. I still don't know why it had to be 350 popsicles necessarily. We got a lot more in a freezer. Yeah, there are 350 kids. I would have no idea how many kids are there. I don't know. Yeah, maybe she'll dish most of them out on Thursday and Friday.
Starting point is 00:54:36 There's something to be said about popsicles, French fries from a drive-thru, whatever, where you think it's over and then there's a little bit more. Like, that's the best part about those pop-ices, right? It's like you get through with it and what do you do at the very end? Oh yeah. You suck out that juice, baby. Yeah. You get fries.
Starting point is 00:54:56 What do you do after it's over? You look in the bag. There's a few more in the bag. In the bag. Like, there's just fries in the bag. There's just something nice about that. Maybe that's why they have the cherry on top is like a milkshake. Oh, you've still got the cherry at the end.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Do you got a cherry if you're into it? Or maybe you start with the cherry. I don't know. I'm a, I'm a cherry at the end guy. Oh, I save it. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to get out sometimes.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Like out of the bottom of it. Yeah, it's like, I don't want to like shake it. Like, what if it's going to drip on me, whatever little bit's left in there? Yeah. But I want that cherry. Yeah, yeah. I need that cherry. Anyway, they have as Popeye's as are something to behold.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Those are good. Had a whole conversation. Whatever reason, I was just not in a hurry, you know? So I'm like, I'm not even going to do self-checkout. I'm just going to wait in line. And it was like Sunday afternoon. So it was like very busy. And this always happens to me on like airplanes.
Starting point is 00:55:46 I just got one of those faces. But like someone just comes up from, I mean, I don't know where this guy came from. he goes, hey, do you mind if I cut in front of you? I got kids in the car. Sure. Sure. Probably bring him inside next time, but sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Like, of course he chose me. I just, I just, I look like a guy who is just like, yeah, he'd walk all over him. He's got three and pretty popsicles, you know. Yeah. Much of fruit. But then had an amazing conversation with the one behind me about popsicles. Okay. I'm just the popsicle king.
Starting point is 00:56:15 What did you all say about it? Just about how good they taste and are our favorites and, um, I really tickled her. We're like the blue one. I think the blue one might be the best. I think it's a blue raspberry. But red's pretty good. She goes, I love the red.
Starting point is 00:56:28 I don't know what the flavor is. I go red. Oh, that just tastes like childhood. And she's like, tastes like childhood. That's so fun. That's not a flavor. I know. I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:56:39 That's not a fruit. Oh, the blue ones are the best. Right? Yeah, that light blue. Oh, my gosh. Fourth of July. Worst ones? Green.
Starting point is 00:56:49 No way. Worst ones. I was going to say green. is up there. Is there yellow? Am I crazy? I think there's yellow. There's like mangoy ones. No, pineapple is so good. There's definitely like a mangoy one too. Is there? The yellow. You think green is like yellowish orange? Maybe I've grown on or I've, I've adapted to liking lime stuff more. So maybe I should try it again, but I think the green is really good. Really? I think as a kid, I would go blue red or like tier one. Absolutely. And then purple and then whatever's
Starting point is 00:57:17 left. Oh, purple. Purple. Purple is lower than green. me. Yeah, purple's not very good. Purple's worse. I think when we were kids, we didn't have yellow. I think yellow is out there in the freezer right now. I don't know if we had it. There's some rich people that had yellow. Sam Dwyer had yellow.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Sam Dwyer had the pineapple. It was like pineapple yellow. I'd put that at the bottom. It's kind of clearish, clearest yellow. Okay. What's like with gummy bears? Pinia colada type thing or something like that? It was like.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Oh, alcoholic. Uh, strawberry decorate. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I like that one. I feel like there was a not quite yellow, but like a deeper yellowish orange. it was like mangoy. But maybe that's just because I'm younger generation.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I don't know. But I think there was like a mangoy one that was maybe the best. Okay. And I think green is good too. Yeah, they're all, they're all fun. Yeah. You got to have scissors, though.
Starting point is 00:58:07 You can't, you're done without scissors. It's impenetrable plastic. You can try to like kind of rip it off, but then you got those little like little threads. Yeah, it's like the bottom of like jeans that you cut off. Yeah. Did they just, did they innovate since I, I always use my teeth.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Like they opened pretty well just like ripping them off with your teeth. Maybe the plastic got soft. And our day, you had to have scissors. Yeah. I mean, maybe,
Starting point is 00:58:30 maybe if you're in a pinch, you tooth it up. But like, it's not the same experience. It's true. A nice clean cut. crisp snap. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:58:39 I used to get mad. I'd see my mom like cut off the top, but too much. Yeah. Yeah. Or cut off some of the like, some of the juice was at the top. It's like,
Starting point is 00:58:47 let's squeeze that down before we cut into it. It's like, oh, some of the juices just fell in the trash. I was going to eat that. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Yeah. It's like, like that juice, like you don't want, you don't want a whole thing of just the juice, but you want one. You want, you want,
Starting point is 00:59:02 you want like a nice sip at the end of just the juice. You want the frozen for the most, like, it's like if you order regular french fries and there, you get one little, little stranded curly. Krusty.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah. Like, oh, they put a curly fry in there. It's like, sweet. But you can't have a whole, like,
Starting point is 00:59:18 a whole basket of curly fries. Right. can't. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I want regular fries. But it's nice to have, it's like, I want a regular Popeyes. Yeah. I want a little juice of you. Do you guys want to take one on your way out today? Thousand p. We got about 315 left. Yeah. Yeah, I'll take blue. I mean, I'm going to have green and see if you regrets this decision. But anyway, yeah, that's fun. What else is Walmart teaching you these days? I love Walmart. I think people, dog on it way too much. Yeah, no. I mean, there's like wild experiences there. Yeah, like workers,
Starting point is 00:59:55 who don't speak English and people cutting in front of me. But I was impressed with the clothing they had there. Yes. It's crazy cheap. It's crazy. Dude, wait, I'm not even kidding. This costs, not exaggerating. This was not so for $4. Yes. It's like a moisture wicking, like, yeah, it's not Lula Lleman, but I bet it feels 80% as good as Lula Lilliman. For $4. This is a little insane. This is a little wine bar prices. Every once in a while, I think to myself, and maybe we all think this, Amazon's got it as cheap as anybody's going to have it. That's what I think. I just think like, yeah, I could go buy batteries from the store. There's no way. There's a $4 shirt on Amazon. I don't think so. I don't think so. Like, what did I buy? Maybe some like floaties or something for the kids last year. There was
Starting point is 01:00:35 some like outdoor beachy thing. And I was like, Amazon, yeah, it's $20 here. I went to Walmart and I found whatever it was for 99 cents. I was like, that's all you need right there. Yeah. I really like Walmart. I know. It's great. So I was actually thinking about this driving down the road. What is the word mart? What does that mean?
Starting point is 01:00:54 Because I think they were the Walton family. They combine Wall with Mart. We've heard of like PetSmart, which even that, sorry, I'm getting up. But I drove past the logo the other day. The Smart is in blue and Pet is in red. I thought it was Pet's Mart. But now they're trying to make me think Pet is smart because Smart is in blue. That's interesting.
Starting point is 01:01:12 I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that's still supposed to mean PetSmart, but maybe they just want to make it extra silly. We'll double. We'll double time. Yeah. It's got to be. It's got to be Pets Mart.
Starting point is 01:01:20 No one's saying, let's go to Pets Mart. But they're doing blue and red opposite of... Yeah. Everyone pronounces it with the quick pause after the S. Pets Mart. Pets Mart. Anyway, what does Mart mean? I guess like Market or something, but...
Starting point is 01:01:34 I was wondering, I was like, in my logical deduction would be it's short for Marketplace. Mm-hmm. I don't know if that's true or not. Call your doctor. Steve goes. Hey, man. So the Yons thing, yeah, no. Yeah, I didn't really get closure on the contagious part of Yons.
Starting point is 01:01:52 What's a Mart main? Mart. Mart. Mart way. Mark. Mark. And I feel like I've seen other old fashioned, like the five and dime Mart or whatever. It's just like a word. Yeah, did it just come from a guy? It's so close to the market that it's got to be market.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Was there just a guy that invented the basic convenience store whose name was Mart? Martin. Martin. What's crazy is that maybe Walmart was like the main first one. I don't know if this is true or not. But, yeah, Petsmart is called Petsmart because of Walmart. Got to be. Right?
Starting point is 01:02:20 Like, is there others? No, I can't think of any others. What are there big Marts? Hobb Mart. Kmart? Yes, thank you. Thank you. Time.
Starting point is 01:02:30 You're welcome. Finally. Tributed something. On time. Making some other apology video for not contributing enough. All right. Kmart. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Well. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, of a guess as I have is market. Yeah, I think that's right. Market. Market.
Starting point is 01:02:50 Man. I have a question. Go ahead. Are there just tons, like tons and tons of little critters running around crossing the road? Or do they just only run across when there's a car coming like to hit them? You're asking like if at all times the squirrels are constantly like traversing. I want to see surveillance of like the one spot where I hit up.
Starting point is 01:03:15 a possum. You hit it? I, in the past two days, I have hit two little animals and dodged two more. And this is why this question is coming up for me because it's not usually like this. It's not usually this often. And I'm not really driving on other roads than I usually do. And you live out in the country. So like, you think you would see them more. Yeah. And that's the two, the places have been like close to my house and then close to Oliver's house. So both like pretty. far out their houses, but like, I, I'm just like, the, the, there's so many right now. Like, are they, I would love to see just like a static angle of like this one spot. And it's like, are there, are they just crossing there all the time? Because what are the chances?
Starting point is 01:04:01 They're going to a party of some sort. Like, there's a, all forest hang. You have to time it so perfectly for me to hit you or like, be almost hit you, right? Yeah, just don't, yeah, don't risk it. So are they just like, oh, a like. for me to see. Great. I'll cross now. And they just don't get it. Or
Starting point is 01:04:20 are there just tons of animals that we just never see? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I would like to see surveillance. Dude, I witnessed an animal get run over the other day and it was too bad. Really? Yeah. Oh, I slowed down. It was a
Starting point is 01:04:37 it was a mama duck and all our little ducklings. Oh, you don't see the feathered creatures. I slowed down. There's a cart. The left lane, like it was a four lane rub, didn't see it, and just, dang, smoked one. I mean, that has to be just like a cloud of feathers, right? Kind of going up in the air a little bit. Randy Johnson?
Starting point is 01:04:54 No, just flat. Oh, just flat. Yeah, it's a thing worse, actually. Yeah. I did get like a bit of a pit in my stomach when I hit the possum. And like, out of all, I mean, hierarchy. I know there, I know they're ugly. I know.
Starting point is 01:05:05 I know. I'd love to hit a possum. Yeah, possum. One less possum in the world? Armadillo. I did feel bad enough, though. I think I was just like, it's not like I feel that. bad that I hit it, I guess.
Starting point is 01:05:17 But I did go back to make, I did go back and run it over again and make sure it was like. Did you actually? I did actually. Yeah. And I've never done that before. I don't know if I got him. I was feeling, I guess I was feeling you double tapped them, dude. I think I was feeling extra empathetic that day or something because I was like, I would just rather, like, the deed is done.
Starting point is 01:05:35 I understand why you did it. I would just rather it not die five hours from now. And I might as well just make sure that it's completely, so I ran over it again. I think you should. That's hilarious thing, dude. Oh, my gosh. You're ready for active combat. I understand.
Starting point is 01:05:51 I understand why you did that. Yeah. Thank you. Also, what if you miss? Crap. Yeah. Third time. Not people are watching you.
Starting point is 01:05:59 This guy hates this. I saw a podcast clip of Blake Griffin. He's a basketball player, but an old tweet of his, he said something, it's funny. I just saw this clip this morning, but he tweeted out years ago, like, just ran over, I ran over a squirrel this morning in my car and I'm laying in bed tonight and I am still thinking about it. Casey Anthony is a monster. Basically like how could you do this? Like if a squirrel is like impacting me this much and that's how you are at my time. Yeah. That's what you feel like. Because I think maybe a year or two ago, I hit a squirrel and I can't explain why I did this. But like there was a squirrel coming in my path
Starting point is 01:06:39 and just in the spur of the moment I was like, I'm going to get it. I don't know why, but I hit it. And I was like, then right after, I was like, why did I do that? What, what benefited me from deliberately killing that squirrel? And so now I'm like, I think I just feel extra bad. I'm kind of impressed that you made contact, though. I feel like those squirrels are- Those are pretty good. I was like, they look and they see car coming, sorry.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Or sometimes it's just like, they're not going to make it and they always make it. Yeah, yeah, I don't hit squirrels. Scrolls are kind of amazing. You remember that Mark Rover video with the squirrels? Yes, so good. You realize how squirrels are kind of incredible. Yeah, they got a lot going on. So maybe that's why they don't get hit.
Starting point is 01:07:19 So it's more of a sport for you time. Yeah, yeah. You got to anticipate where it's going to go next so you can just squash it. Yeah. That's wild, dude. Turned around. I did. I don't know why.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Yeah, I don't know why for the possum. Maybe it was like, yeah, I hit it and it's cooked. But like, it's a big animal. I'm like, I feel like it's not dead. I don't like make sure it's dead. He got on your tires times two. Yeah. Man, that's wild.
Starting point is 01:07:50 It's so fun. So fun. You got anything else, Jackie? I reckon not. Got one more thing to ask about. You're going to help me brainstorm real quick. Yeah, I love to. You're going to Malaysia tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:08:04 So I am, what's the word? emceeing, hosting this conference. Oh, yeah. I wanted to be able to join. Yeah, we were trying to do it together. It's like a young adult. conference. Tyman, come on. Come with it. Wait, yeah. When? Come on. It's 18 through, 18 through 27 year old
Starting point is 01:08:19 or something like that. This weekend at our church. Cool. But it's for any young adult, Simon. Okay, great. So if you know some. Sweet. Good. I invite Midge. But I mean, it's super like I would use the word simple. Like, I'm only doing 10 minutes on Friday night of just like gathering and doing something fun.
Starting point is 01:08:37 And then 10 minutes Saturday morning and then another like 20 minutes after lunch Saturday afternoon. Okay. So it's not like I have to do a ton. And does it feel like it's standup as kind of expected? Or just like you can play games and you can just be goof? No, I think it's that. I think I can like talk if I want to, but like I don't think I'm going to do stand up the whole time.
Starting point is 01:08:56 I think I'm just going to like interact and do games. And like more feed off of comments that they have and stuff like that. But I didn't know if you guys wanted to help me brainstorm anything that I could do for that. Because I still haven't really figured out exactly what I'm going to do. I had a vision the other day. I don't really write stand-up material down anymore, you know, losing the itch. But I did have this vision. I was like, a funny schick would be like, like, if I did what traded, where it's like,
Starting point is 01:09:21 this is a pretty casual environment. I'm kind of here to work on material. Like, you know, you do, you open up with five minutes of crowd work. And then it's like, all right, you know, you get a good laugh. You go, all right, all right. Let's start the show. Let me get into some material. All right.
Starting point is 01:09:38 What's your name, ma'am? And they just never actually get into it. You know, okay, they laugh a little bit. You do a little crowd work. Okay, I think we're good. You guys ready to start the show? They're going to follow us. All right, let's get into it.
Starting point is 01:09:47 So the other day, what's going on with you, man? Hey, that's funny. And just like, see how long that is still funny? I think that's like a fun stick. That has to be like in a comedy club setting, though. Like you're fully expecting stand up. You know what should happen and you're not getting it. And yeah, you're getting humor,
Starting point is 01:10:03 but you're not getting the humor that you anticipate. That's pretty good. And just you'd have to get really good at asking good questions of the crowd. Yeah, you still need to do good crowd work. But, yeah, like, everyone's anticipating. Like, is he actually going to get a material now? And you always go, you know, the pauses become longer. Did you view-
Starting point is 01:10:20 What's your name is? What do you do for work? Did you view crowdwork as easier or harder for you? Easier. Yeah, that's what, I would imagine that would be the case as well. The bars are lower. You can, yeah, you can just respond. Like, it's, it's like more improv, less, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:40 To me, that seems like more fun. fun and easy. I don't know. Yeah, easier. Yeah. And I think as the opener, it was a way to win people over more. And also people are like still getting situated. It's like I don't, they don't need to hear every single word I say. Right. Compared to once you start the material. You want it to be a little more locked in. And there's something about like this novelty of like, this is only our show that's going to get this exact thing. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Versus like this guy says this to everybody. There's less. It's like, okay. I don't know. That's just a joke he says everywhere. He's not saying that to me because I'm in Greenville, South Carolina. And a very unanticipated but great result from crowdwork is like, I think this is
Starting point is 01:11:20 that hard. People are very amazed by it, but you could definitely do it too. It's like you establish some things that maybe weren't even punchlines, but in your conversation with someone at the beginning, okay, you still remember these things. It's only been 10 minutes later. And as you're doing your material, you realize, hey, that actually perfectly relates to them. I'm going to say my punchline and tag it on because we know he works at Home Depot. Yeah. And in the crowd, now that joke becomes time and a half funnier. Callback. Like, that's so great.
Starting point is 01:11:41 And you're like, that's pretty easy for me to do. Right. I'm glad you love it so much. That's no problem. Who we naturally are. Yeah, we do that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Yeah. So you're almost just like collecting data. Doesn't even need to be that funny. Just establish the universe that we're in. Yeah, you add a word bank. Yeah. You had more words to the word bank.
Starting point is 01:11:56 It's like, all right. Yeah. Got it. All right. We know Home Depot. We know second wife. These are things that could come up later. 350 popsicles.

Starting point is 01:14:53 There's this lady that I hire, like, her company for cleaning. And like, every other time, there's like something going on. Like, hey, I can't figure this out.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Oh, like for Airbnb cleaning. Sorry, Airbnb cleaning. Yeah. Yeah. The other day she put all the towels and all the sheets in one load in the wash. in the washer, which is a bad idea because it just like, it just didn't, it got so soaking
Starting point is 01:15:14 wet that it didn't dry. Oh, I'm sure. And so then I was, I had to like literally like go and get everything and like take it and like dry it at my own house. Dang. Anyway, a little more hands on than you'd probably like to be. Correct. Yeah, it's like, what's, what's, what's going on now, Stevie. So I'll talk to her later. Okay. Okay. She's calling twice. She's calling twice. Excuse me. I've also contacted my friend Fidelberto. He's a Mexican guy to mow my lawn. But now there's other company that I didn't want to mow my lawn is like just showing up on my house to mowal lawn.
Starting point is 01:15:47 So Fili Bacter just texted me, he said, I've arrived to your house, but someone is already mowing your yard. You say good. Double mow! May the best man win. What in the world? Oh, my gosh. You have two people mowing your lawn right now?
Starting point is 01:16:01 I told the other company, like, they're so bad. They're the ones that didn't come for three and a half weeks. And I told him, like, I do not want your service. Thank you. Yeah. All good. They say loud and clear, be there on Wednesday. They just showed up out of nowhere and cut it from like a normal amount to like golf course.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Anyway, it's fine. You've over, you've over task your rabbits. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Whatever. It's fine. Anyway, I don't think anything I said was actually helpful for you this weekend. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:28 You need 10 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes. Yeah, I like newlywed game kind of thing. I like, I thought about doing, I like trivia. You know, fun trivia is always fun. Yeah. What do you think time in? This is more your target audience to an extent. of Gen Z.
Starting point is 01:16:42 Like, is Gen Z humor still a thing? Like, or as far as like, is that just like played out? Like, is I'm not Gen Z? You're, I'm a millennial. Like, is that, is there some humor there? Or is it just like, all right, dude, another millennial making jokes about Gen Z stuff? I think it's fine. I think I would find it funny.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Yeah. But funny enough. Yeah. It would just be like, okay, this guy's just trying to be annoying. Like, I feel like I would still laugh at if it's, you know, you'd make it fun. funny, like, even just, like, trying to relate or trying to be, even, like, use terminology, and it's, like, really cringe or whatever. I don't know. Okay. I think I could see that being great. Yeah, there are ways to position yourself as, like, the old out-of-touch man, like,
Starting point is 01:17:23 what's up? I don't really know why they asked me to do the young adult conference. I don't know anything about young adults. Right, right. But I'd love to learn. What's, I know TikTok trends are big thing. What's a big TikTok trend right now? And they tell you want and you try to, like, oh, is that the one? Let me guess. Okay, this is where you do this. I don't know, maybe. Okay, that's good. Good. Yeah, it's fun to be able to have back and forth, but not necessarily them on stage with the microphone,
Starting point is 01:17:46 because that's where it gets a little out of your control. It's like, oh, they're talking a little more than I was hoping they were. They're holding the mic too far too close. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you actually just took the mic out of my hands now. Okay, that's good. Yeah. It's good.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Okay. You can juggle. Yeah, I'm distracted by all the things now. I've got to worry about these. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah, I could juggle. I could juggle.
Starting point is 01:18:07 You throw tape money to a frisbee and throw out frisbee. Yeah. Do that? Yeah. The old frisbee cash, cash frisbys. Yeah. Cash for clunkers.
Starting point is 01:18:16 You could do like a magic trick with cards, plant one under a seat or something like that. Oh, you could do magic. That's probably what they're wanting. You want that flaming wallet. What if I'm just a bad magic guy? And I just like,
Starting point is 01:18:27 all right. Everybody close your eyes. Tell me when to stop. And I like go halfway and just wait for him. Stop. Okay. That's right. Three of diamonds.
Starting point is 01:18:36 Now I'm trying to remember. I remember, I think it's third row. It's either you or you. Check on your seat. Three diamonds. Boom. Yeah. I had it narrowed down to two people. I think the toughest thing is just going to be like establishing, like making them like me. Like once they like me, everything's funny. You can become funnier. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, like, because like I think of people that like are really dry humor, like really funny people that like just get up there and just like what I like if I know this person and I know they're. dry humor and I've gotten used to. It's like, that's, you are so funny when you're doing this. Oh, that's who you are? But you get up there the first time and you're like, who's this?
Starting point is 01:19:14 Okay. It's this thing. Like, it's just kind of up there not doing anything. That's funny to people, you know. Yeah. So I just got to figure that out. I think in the first 60 seconds, do something physical. Yeah. Yeah. You'll be good at that. People will love that. Okay. Yeah. Call Zach because he might have some good tips for you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's always got stuff. My comment of the week, if I, Yeah, please. And, you know, last Wednesday's episode, we called Zach or like, give us the rundown of what you would have said if Derek had followed up and you got to perform a tray.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Braden Parsons, probably a five-time winner of Comment on the week now, commented, Derek really did Zach a solid by not following up. Yeah. That's pretty funny. That's crazy. That was also a great song, too. You said after the podcast said that wasn't Zach's best performance. You've heard a funnier version of that.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Yeah. He's crushed with that story. And like, that's, that's true. But he made $20 off of it. Yeah. It's great. Yes, he did. He texted me, I think during the episode, but I, like, didn't respond to him immediately.
Starting point is 01:20:17 He was like, if I send a selfie of me getting the Chipotle, will I make the episode? And like, like, a couple hours later, I was like, yeah, if you took a selfie, feel free to send it. He's like, I didn't. No, I didn't tell myself for potential success. I just figured I'd go back. Go back if you said yes. That's great. Comment me the week.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Robert Gerald Harrison. I like this one a lot. This is fun. He says, I listen to Net Positive, and they were doing their Spotify recap and said they were going through what other podcasts their listeners listened to and said Ghostrunners,
Starting point is 01:20:49 and that is how I found this pod. And it's now my favorite. Cool. It's a net positive for this guy. I'd say so. That's pretty cool. That's fun. That's really cool.
Starting point is 01:20:58 Trickle down, Triggle down John. Yeah. Trickle John. So that's pretty fun to hear. Like, we got a new listener from Net Positive. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:07 We'll take them however we can get them. That's right. Cool comment. How many got one? I'm trying to find one. You find my, oh, you got one? No. I see your left hand kind of.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Ooh, go ahead and talk. I'll keep looking. I guess this is a one of the week. It's just hilarious. There has been a, another pickleball documentary has come out, but this one I would say is probably the first, like, legit one.
Starting point is 01:21:34 There was one before? There's been a few. I mean, Kyle's kind of in one that's on prime. But no one has really done a good job. Okay. Yet, I would say. And I haven't watched this one yet, but it just came out yesterday.
Starting point is 01:21:46 All six episodes are on YouTube. And everyone is like saying really good things. Like they're following like the drama of pro pickaball and the partners splitting up or breaking up. It's just like, yeah, reality show. And just Scott, just Scott in a pickleball reality show is my one of the week. He is just like, he's in it? Gobbling it up. No, he's not even in it.
Starting point is 01:22:06 He just can't get enough of it. And like when he's texting us, yesterday, I mean, we've just been going crazy as a company, just like trying to do so many things and all before Asia and we're getting sued and you know, everything that we have to do. Just, you know, run the mill stuff. Asia lawsuit. Yeah, because so much of it, it's just around the clock. You know.
Starting point is 01:22:26 Right. You finally get in with work and then Asia wakes up. Like, oh, geez, now we're going to do all this. Yes. But anyway, Scott last night just starts texting us. Just like live updates of episode one, which we're in. Okay. But anyway, Scott sent some funny text, like, sorry, I know you didn't ask for live commentary,
Starting point is 01:22:45 but I just need a release. Like, a release is crazy. We need a release. It's like, it's been a long day, dude. I just need a release. I got it. Yeah, I got to get into this. And our pro player, Rachel Orbach, she's like, I'm not going to watch that.
Starting point is 01:23:00 It's so, like, drama. And I don't need to watch it or whatever. And then she's like, Scott, are you watching it? And he goes, I'm on episode three and I plan to finish tonight. Like he's, I think he spent four hours last night watching pickleball documentaries. Where do we watch this? It's just on YouTube. Okay.
Starting point is 01:23:13 Who put it together? Just like, I had to sign release forms with Shutterfly. So I don't know. They were the producers. I'm guessing the PPA, you know, the actual organization. They were probably the ones fronting this. So you're in it, in it. Do you remember last summer when we shot with the St. Louis shock?
Starting point is 01:23:28 And I was like, they were so grumpy and so rude. Yes. And there was also a documentary crew filming that day and they were still so rude. that is what made it on there and the comments reflected even a year later. Like even people like, yeah, it's in the documentary if you were like, Anna looks grumpy today.
Starting point is 01:23:44 Like they're saying it. And then she's miced up. It's great. Oh, really. It really validates what I said a year ago. Yeah. See? You felt it.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Yeah. Oh, interesting. It's great. There's been people reaching out to us like, dude, have you seen this? And I haven't really fully had a chance to watch yet. But it might watch it on the plane. So do you think like, do you have like sound bites
Starting point is 01:24:02 or it's just like quick little shot of you? We're not. it that much. Just like they were happening to be falling around a couple of these kids. And then they were shot with us that day. So it just kind of worked out. But it is kind of great. They had been asking me for release forms forever and like, all right, we adjust this.
Starting point is 01:24:17 All right. Can we use your logo? Yeah, whatever. And then for some reason, one day, they were like, all right, in addition to the logo, we actually want to use just a snippet of your YouTube video. And I just go, oh, that is actually a thousand dollars. And they go, yeah, no problem. I go, ah, you'd ask for Raymore.
Starting point is 01:24:34 Yeah, 10,000. I can't leave they win for it. Like we won't use a snippet. So I was like, oh, this place has a bigot of budget. That's great. This might be good. They didn't even blink. That's amazing.
Starting point is 01:24:46 I love that. I love that. So, yeah, a new pickleball documentary. It's called Partners. Okay. We're in episode one. My win of the week. Yeah, I guess, well, Beau's birthday was awesome.
Starting point is 01:24:58 It's just always fun. Birthdays are fun because you get to reflect on your kids and tell them how much you love them. And we always go around as a family and like, what is your favorite thing to do with Bo? What's your favorite thing about? But whatever. But then also, Owana Awards is always fun just because it's like a culmination of my kids are like memorizing the Bible. And it's awesome.
Starting point is 01:25:16 And it's like, I don't know how many verses they do, 30 verses a year or something like that. It's crazy. And that was on the same night as the Met Gala. And did they dress similarly when they showed up to? Did you, Awana Awards night? You dress up? I did. And no one else was with me.
Starting point is 01:25:30 What did you dress up as? it was more of a color. I didn't, I dressed as the, the color tan. Yeah, no ice. But you know what I did? You'd think like color tan means that you wear tan. It doesn't. It just means that you represent tan in your style.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's earthy tone. Right, right. You know, style. Just my demeanor was pretty tan. Like mulch and stuff?
Starting point is 01:25:53 What'd you wear? Mulch. Yeah, mulch and leaves and stuff? Leaves, I tried and they just kept falling off. So I went mulch. with just like a, like, you know Mr. Beast's cool hat that he has? Like the cool, like, sun hat. Okay.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Or one of those. Mr. Beast brand. Huge blue logo on the front of it. And then I just, for a pop of color, went Air Force ones, green, or blue and blue and orange to kind of represent the earth. And they say, what are you wearing? You say tan. I'm tan.
Starting point is 01:26:23 I'm tan. I'm tan. Everybody's 10? Everybody's 10. Yeah. I won awards. One awards. Shout out Hattie, Rosie, and Bo. Good job.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Sorry, Henry. Someday, bud. Sorry, Henry. Sorry, you'll appreciate it someday. Time you got anything. Anything? Yeah, I'll say my win, hanging out at Oliver's house a lot lately.
Starting point is 01:26:46 Besides the hitting the possum, but it's been a win. It's been fun. Like Bible Saturday there yesterday, hanging out the day before, good times. I don't know. Good.
Starting point is 01:26:56 Didn't do that much this week, if you can't tell. that's the most exciting thing. You ran over some possums, you made some apology videos, you did some stuff, fun. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:06 You've been working though. Yeah. Putting you to work a little bit, been fun. Yeah. Yeah. Man, this is crazy. I just got all these,
Starting point is 01:27:16 sorry. I's got a very kind, critical message from the people that just did the Airbnb. A very kind, but also like, here's all the things we eat. Okay.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Does you feel like constructive criticism? Yes. Like at the very end, she said, we're sharing these simply to support a smooth experience for future guests. Overall, we enjoyed her stay. We'll keep this house in mind for future visits. Again, these are not major issues. Just want to let you know.
Starting point is 01:27:38 I mean, it's like, all right, I just got a call from the cleaners. I got two mowers at my house. I got to worry about this. My beach vacations a week earlier. And she's like, also there's a little bit of rust on one of the knives. It's like, okay, I'll work on that. I'll work on that.
Starting point is 01:27:53 I will go, yeah. Oh, it's. Yeah. I yeah, never. It's fine. I'm just like, all right. One of these things is gross. A towel with hair adhered to it.
Starting point is 01:28:04 You got to talk to Stevie about that. Hair is just always scary. Yeah, hair off the body is not good. Please no, please no hair. A towel with a strong odor resembling lighter fluid. I don't even know how that happens. Maybe from the dryer. Oh, that's the towel we used to put out fires.
Starting point is 01:28:17 That's the fire towel. Fire extinguisher. A sponge found underneath the master bed. That's Stevie. Okay, clean. Also, why are you using a sponge? underneath the bed. Sequence scattered in the master bedroom.
Starting point is 01:28:31 I think you can reframe the sponge thing. Like, you're welcome. We were literally scrubbing underneath your bed. Sorry, we left a sponge. Good. Rust in the groove of a kitchen knife, a burnt or smoky odor in the hallway bathroom. People got noses on them.
Starting point is 01:28:45 This one's good. This is one that was like, oh, I didn't see this. Timmy didn't tell me this. No hot pads available for safely removing items from the oven. Tommy, you were a terrible guest. You didn't say any of these. things. I told you to make grilled nuggets.
Starting point is 01:28:59 You're right. I didn't cook at all, dude. I mean, I guess that's nice. Yes. There's not an oven meant in there yet. Yeah. So, okay. Got, got it.
