Greetings from Kansas. Jake. Greetings from Asia. Asia, dude. What's Asia like, man? Is it everything we dreamed it to be in the Disney movies? Aladdin, yes, but none of the other ones. Hey, Mulan.

Give Mulan its flowers. Give it its irises or whatever the Asian flowers are. Dude, we did see the Asian flowers. What is like a good Asian flower? What's like the stereotypical like White Lotus? I don't know. Lotus or something.

White Lotus feels good. Okay. We did see like this crazy like we got on this highway and we're looking over something in Kuala and poor and go, what is all that? And they said that's the king's palace. And then it just like came out of me. I go, it looks like Aladdin. And then I was that like inappropriate.

Jeez, dude. Like I'm like nine years old. I'm like, mom, mom, it's Aladdin. It's Aladdin. Wow. Does he ride an elephant? Ah! Carpet, magic carpet, magic carpet.

Yeah, that was probably, I would go back and say it differently, but I've been here like five days and that's like probably the worst thing I've said. So it's not too bad. You say it differently like you mean what you would have said, Aradden? If I could go back. Hey, we'll run. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts on white meat. 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 So we're back Doing this live Doing this live on a not live thing But doing it Live stream

Dude are you jet lagged How are you okay Live stream to the whole world Live stream right now So comment below Send some stars our way They tip us, ask you some questions, we'll answer them. What else do they say?

Thank you for the bits. Thank you for the bits. Rendell Weaver. Thank you for the super chat. Thank you for the subscribe. Yeah. Appreciate you. I bet that's what they say.

I don't think I've ever, that's not true. I've watched like Instagram lives, but I don't think I've ever watched any other live thing. Like I don't think I've ever twitched. I've never tubed. I've never onlyed. I've never only, dude. I've never only, good. I want that to be on the record right.

Now I've never only, I've never, any other ones. I don't know. We just found out that exactly 12 hours from now. So Scott and Isaac just landed. I've been here a few days. 12 hours from now, Scott is playing with Kyle in a pro match. Kyle's a pro, you know, top 50 in the world, had a tough time finding a partner for this Malaysian tournament.

So he's like, that Scott, you'll do. You know, you'll do just fine. So Scott's playing in a pro tournament. We've known that for a while. But we just found out 30 minutes ago that they are playing their first. match on like championship court. And so I think I don't know what to do with that, but I'm like, I think I should live stream on just, I should just stream it.

I think our fans would want to watch that. So I might be getting into the streaming game in the morning. You're going to go, you're going to Twitch, you're going to only, you're going to tube, you're going to, where you, where you, where you, were you liven from? Maybe a little talk. That's what they call it. And talk. And also is Malaysia super cool about everything?

Are you like VPN and like crazy? No, they're super, super super cool. Cool. Okay. I will probably, I guess, Instagram, but anyway, Scott's got to be nervous out of his mind. I can't wait. Scott? He's going to be a mental wreck.

Oh, man. How does the Asian, the Malaysian professional, it's kind of like, listen, you can play overseas in Australia for basketball or you can play in the United States. Like, yeah, you're like, are the Malaysian pros as good as the American pros or better? probably not at that. Maybe we're the Australians in this situation. Probably not at the highest, highest level, but I think like the average person here is way better than the average person in America. And is it like, uh, racquet sports are just so much more prominent here. You know, it's very rare in America to have a large group of people who all play tennis or, you know,

like, right. Like everyone has like a basic, whatever you want to call it, basic knowledge, basic repertoire. What is like the style of Asian pickleball versus like like you know, I don't know. I know that like soccer it's different in Europe versus America. Like is it. Europe is more finesse. Americans more football, you know. I will say yeah, it's a bit more powerful here. I would say less like soft game. I think because they just they want to hit the ball hard because it's a lot of badminton. That's the other thing. You don't want to lob the Asians because they jump up. and just go nuts. They can hit the ball so hard.

Really? Okay. Very good. But no, what are you guys been up to? How's the big city? A couple tornadoes that have been gone or what? Dude, who cares what you've been up to? I mean, we've been up to all sorts of stuff, but you're in Malaysia, bro.

I feel like I've been through, in the nicest way possible, a gauntlet. A wonderful gauntlet, but a gauntlet nonetheless of, let's see, Friday night was the young adults conference. And then we had Saturday we had, how did that go? Yeah, let me just, let me just get through the bullet points and then we'll go, you know, subsection after. We got young adults Friday. And then we got Saturday, we got young adults times two. How did that go? Jake.

So we do that? No, I'm just kidding. And then after that we did right, like literally, I like sprinted out of the young adults conference. It went fine, Jake. And then went right to Bo's birthday party. Oh, how did that go? I'm going to try so hard not to. And then Sunday, Mother's Day.

Stop. And then Monday, Catherine's birthday. Quit it. And then today, Catherine's birthday dinner. It's just like, it's just, it's just, like, on one hand, it's like, it's been great. On the other hand, it's like, it's a lot of celebrating Catherine, which I love to do. But also, I have such high, like, standards and expectations for the kids. kids of how they are going to just magically act all of a sudden because it's Catherine's special

days. And it's like, it's like they're not like that well trained yet to just like flip a switch and just be angels. And so then then I get frustrated with them, whatever. So, um, so it's just been a lot of like thing after thing after thing. And then in the middle of all of it's like, oh yeah, we're planning to go on vacation in four days. And I'm trying to finish this house before we leave and um that's it i think that's it oh and i'm pulling some laundry every once in a while yeah oh and then katherine wanted to watch lora the rings time and let's get started on lower the rings real quick sure jr jake there's there's the ints have you heard about these trees jake oh yeah int it's the it's the it's the most ridiculous thing uh multiple times i was like

what are we watching what are what's happening here i remember this the second one right It's these massive trees that just become friends with these tiny little hobbit guys and just walk around slowly and talk slowly. And I'm like, what's the point of this? What's going on here? Why is, why are people like endeared to these big tree things? And it's just ridiculous. I do remember watching the second one of being like, why this is, we're back with the ends and the hobbits. It is just, and it goes on for so long.

Yeah, Jake. So three plus our movie. I don't know if you've heard that about Lord of the Rings. but about, I don't know, two hours into it, finally, dude, this massive battle scene is coming up. Massive. Like, it's awesome. They're doing the things where, you know, like 10,000 bad guys are storming the castle and they're shooting all these arrows and they're getting them.

They're mowing them down. But then finally, the bad guys get, like, those huge ladders and, like, hoist them up and start, like, you know, penetrating the wall. And then, like, you know, it's awesome. Five minutes, seven minutes goes by, this massive battle scene. and then all of a sudden it cuts and it goes back to these freaking tiny people crawling in the forest with these trees and I'm like, what are we doing? Go back to the decapitating the bad guys.

Why are we doing this? Anyway, dude, I just, I don't know, man. Like, we cannot like, it feels like treachery getting through this, honestly. Like, it's not like it's a bad movie. But man, it's just a lot of similar names and a lot of similar things and a lot of different things. a lot of different. I don't know. I just. Yeah. So that's what's been going on, Jake. That's what's been going on.

I like that. Do you know that Nate Bargazzi bit where he talks about, you know, I got a lot going on? I end up traveling over the world. I'm a good dad. And I still do my own laundry. Like that's you right now. Like even amidst the gauntlet, I still folded some laundry. Catherine's going to be listening. She's like, you didn't fold very much laundry. I mean, she folded the entire time we were watching Lord of the Rings. I fold like four things. So I found some matches on some socks, though. I think my dad was telling my mom a tweet that he saw.

It was like, you know, just me to my wife on Mother's Day. It's like, just take a break. Don't fold this laundry. Like, it'll be there tomorrow. I cracked my dad up a lot. And I thought it was pretty funny. I did for Catherine's birthday. I did purchase her a gift of a head massage.

Oh, ever heard of this? I mean, you understand what it is. I think it's all sorts of stuff, dude. Yeah, it's water. and hands and masks. Like it's like all this stuff. I don't know. It's like an hour of just like just like head and a little bit of shoulders and arms,

I guess, but just like just getting after getting after it with like, she's like, they put 12 different things in my hair. It was amazing. It was so relaxing. She requested it and I was like, okay, I did some research and found one in Leewood. That was unbelievable. And she said it was totally worth it. So anybody out there is thinking about getting a head massage.

she's like that that sounds amazing so i should do that who doesn't love a head massage why not yeah i mean she was she was all about it so uh let her go do that while the kids i i'm going to say this publicly and kathen's going to be like i don't know if you should say this publicly i'm going to say it publicly um should i say it publicly timon i'm going to say go for it yeah um so the kids were with me at the flip house okay the new flip house the new flip house is right by a park i'm not going to say which park just in case there's creepers out there, all right? Yeah.

But you know the park is also, it's kind of my honey hole. Dude, it's a great little pickleball park. So, hey, narrow it down to that. There's, it's only, it's a park that has pickleball on it. So the house that I have backs up. It has like this creek kind of thing. It's like a man-made, like sewer creek thing. Like a big, huge cement.

Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah. High, high dollar. But it's like a large drain, like a sewage. I don't. know. It's not sewer. I'm sorry. That's not the right word. Whatever it is, like a runoff creek of some sort. Yeah. Anyway, but you can go from the backyard of this house down into this ditch and back up and then walk to the park. And for Bo's birthday, we bought him like legit, like

walkie-talkies that you could use. I think it's supposed to have like a four-mile range on them, which of course, it doesn't. I mean, it's $40 like Amazon thing, but like they're like legit walkie-talkies, not like the tiny ones, you know, that you've seen. And so the idea was like, let the kids go to the park while I, which is like, you know, we'll call it seven houses away and across this creek. Let them go to the park while I meet with some people at the flip house and talk through different things and do some work and stuff. And so they just hung out at the park by themselves for like two hours, give or take. Wow. And I, Henry was with me.

Sorry, I should preface that. My two-year-old was with me. And honestly, maybe Rosie was a little bit of a wildcar, but she did great with head. and Bo. But I mean, Catherine, like, packed their lunch. And so they, like, brought their lunch with them. And, like, ate lunch at the park. And every, like, 10 minutes or so, I'd just be like, hey, checking in, over. And they'd be like, we're doing fine. Over. And we're just to go back and forth. And I'd be like, are there anybody else there? Is there anybody else there?

You know, bother you? You know, whatever. No, nobody else here. Over. I was like, okay. So, that's great. That's great. Yeah. It was one of those things like, these days, it's like, what? You're crazy for doing this. But if you tell you tell you. tell your parents, like, hey, did you ever, like, just leave and go play with your friends? Or like, oh, yeah, we just left and came home at dinner time. Like, yeah. Like out loud these days, it's like, that sounds insane. But like, Time and I bet was able to go to his neighbor's house growing up.

Or like, you know, like, down to the pond. Down to the pond. Yeah. Yeah. The sewage pond. The sewage. We'd play in the sewer. Sewage isn't the right word.

Yeah, whatever. Anyway. Yeah. No, like for a second. It's like a concrete. Yes. creek. It's not sewage, but it's It's... Yes. A concrete.

It's robust. Oh, yeah. It is robust, dude. It is robust. So, anyway, that was kind of a fun fun time yesterday. I'm trying to do as much as we can here to... I've kind of come to the grips with it's probably not going to get done before I leave. But I am not going to go down without a fight.

Especially because I'm flying, dude. Like, if I was driving, I'd have to, like, kind of store up some energy for driving. But I'm flying, baby. That's... that's, I mean, that, that's, you only need like 25% battery for that. You know what I mean? Like, you need a little bit of battery for the kids and flying and stuff.

Like, it's, it's not nothing, but, uh, compared to driving for 20 hours, no problem. We'll be fine. So anyway, way less battery. Yeah. Tim, what are you been up to? Um, I, I got a thousand minutes from Drew. Yes. He, I was at, you got him?

I was at Chick-fil-A yesterday. And he came up to me and he was just like, we were talking about how, he was talking about how bad he felt like, um, we were just kind of walking through the whole thing and he was like, yeah, here's your mincy. I should have brought it in.

Dude. But are they in your car? Yeah, they're in my car. Don't let them melt time. I think those things will melt. You think so? I think you learn quick if you,

if they're, I don't know. Don't you think they could. They maybe could. Not in like a traditional way, but like they would. I mean, they're definitely able to get softer, right?

Probably so. Yeah. I wonder if I should go grab them right now. No, no. I think you're fine today, but it's also cool outside right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a beautiful day here, Jake. Yeah.

I'm missing you. We would have podcasted outside if it weren't for you. Oh, could add mince in. That's right. So, yeah, you got some mince. How, uh, yeah? How many have you eaten so far? Or have you eaten in yet?

I've not opened the box. Wow. See, there's something. There's a divo in there somewhere, you know? That is interesting. Once you get access to the mints, I don't know. Then you don't eat them. Uh-huh.

But yeah. What else? Had a worship night. Like my family and some other families hosted from church at a park. That was great. What does that look like? It's like we met at Quivera Park and played a lot of sand volleyball beforehand. And then it's just like me and Anna and her boyfriend Peter just like playing some worship me.

Like I'm on like a hone. Anna's on piano. Peter's on guitar. And then we're just like we have a bit of a set list planned out. And then we're just going through it. That's sweet. Yeah. Tell me about this Peter.

He's from M&U. Nice guy. Blonde guy. So, I don't know. Super blonde though. So you tell me. I don't know. Toehead.

Nice guy. Blonde guy. Nice guy despite being blonde. Yeah, yeah. No, yeah. Cool. He's great. Good at guitar.

It's fun. That's got to be a prerequisite for Anna. He's like he's got to be at least somewhat musical. Yeah, for sure. I'm I'm I'm I'm 30% surprised that you play Cajon like I'm like I understand you're a musical guy but like I just learn something new every day about time and like like that one time he just did that cover of what song was it to make you feel my love on oh yeah on piano like okay I guess time in place piano didn't know that like what how many instruments would you say you could play in front of people and at least carry a carry a tune carry a... I would say it's piano and then Cajon, which isn't a tune. Okay.

But, I mean, yeah, it's piano I play very adequately. Like, I would say I'm not great, but it's like, key of C, I'm fine. Okay, yeah, key of C for how many instruments? I think, I think just piano. I know a few chords on ukulele. Okay. And I guess a couple chords that I can like really just kind of get too slowly on guitar. But it's like in front of people, it's pretty much limited to piano.

And then I'd like to think I'm pretty decent on Cajon. Yeah. Like it's just I really enjoy anything with just like rhythm and stuff. So I'm just like coming up with all kinds of different ways to play along to a song and stuff. That's fun. So yeah. Who knew? I'd say it's those two though.

Jake, you knew? I barely know. 30%. I almost. We need to talk a little bit more about the pushups versus million dollars thing. Because somebody mathed me last night. and I've changed my mind to pushups. No way.

Okay. Let me pull this up. Basically someone, the answer is, the million dollars, obviously you get one time. Push-ups you get perpetually for the rest of your life. So if you continue to make money, eventually you will win the battle. Like, as long as you continue to do push-ups. So like, let me find this comment real quick. I was just like, gosh, dang it.

I even like checked it with Chad GPT of like, this is wrong. right. E-hard, 84, 250 push-ups per day is $2,500, which is $75,000 per month. Invest that amount at 8% annually for 20 years, and you've got $43 million. That's nearly 10 times the $4.6 million that the initial $1 million would grow to in 20 years at 8% annual return. So even... And to get that is how many push-ups for how long? 250 push-ups every day for 20 years.

years, which is a lot. I'm not trying, but even if it, I mean, we, I could, I could, you know, we should have like a slider of like, where is the equilibrium here? Because I bet even if you're doing, I don't know, 100 pushups a day, which is so like, you could do 100 pushups a day before work. Like if you're getting, if you're, I mean, that's, let's be honest. Like right now I couldn't, of course. But like, eventually, if that's, if that's the only thing, you'd be like one of those

weirdos that just like, obviously he skipped leg day and he just did push up day every day, you know, but like, just always push up day. But, uh, yeah, I'm like, surely, surely even 100 pushups a day would, if, if 43 million is 250 pushups a day, maybe 100 pushups a day would be, I don't know, more like, I don't know. It's still a lot of money. Still a lot of money. Yeah.

But obviously you have to keep doing it every single day. What if you get hurt? What if you get sick? All that's all those things. So I'm not saying. I think it's like a lot of things, though. like the first 30 days are going to be the hardest. And then once you,

you just, it's just going to get easier and easier to do those pushups. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to, you're going to probably not do 250 pushups a day for the first year. Like you're going to do,

you're going to do 250 pushups. You're going to, you're going to, like, it's like couch to 5K. You're going to have to build your way up to it, you know? So you're only going to make maybe 40K the first year. And you have to understand that. It's a,

it's a process. But I don't know. Couch to 5K. Is that like a, like a, I've heard of that plenty of times, but is that just like a publicly known thing, or is that a brand? I think it's like a brand. Maybe it was like an app or something back in the day.

Catherine tried to do it. Catherine is not a runner, and she thought, like, I could do this. I can get into this. And I think she tried for a hot minute. It was like, you know, 30 seconds running with 30 seconds running and then three minutes walking or something like that. Huh. And she never had meant to live in her ear.

Could that be the problem? It's got to be. If she can now run with meant to live for, you know, three minutes at a time, she's, she should, she should just done that. The meant to live challenge. Mint to live to 5K. Yeah, that's right. So I never did couch to 5K though.

This is kind of funny. This happened almost right after we recorded last week and I thought it was funny. But Rachel got home from school, I think. Evan was still over at the house. We were working on stuff. And we were kind of talking through my schedule to get out here. And, you know, Rachel's like, when is your flight again? We're all sitting around a table.

And I go, I scheduled my Uber for 4.45 a.m. She's like, gosh. And you have to wake up even before that. And then timing goes, actually, technically you don't. You can actually wake up after the Uber is scheduled and still make it on time. If you have good vision, you can wake up even later and just be just fine. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point.

Yeah, one time you have to wake up. I don't know. It depends on my vision. Technically, you're fine. Oh, we did it. We did a whole episode. Now we're doing an ad at the end, but we're recording it for later on, Jake. Yes.

Okay? We recorded this ad years ago. Years ago. So you think you'll ever get married? Boy, I hope so. I don't see it happening anytime soon, though. No. But I bet she'll be dark-complected.

Like Main Street Roaster's Coffee. There you go. There it is. You like your girls like you like your coffee, young black and rich. Right? You've always said that. I have a tattoo of it on your lower back. So, Mainsteroaster.com, for the best coffee in the world, I just ran out of Costa Rican and back to Sumatran.

Oh my. All right. Mason, roser.com, GRKC. Yeah, how was? Talk about

where did you fly to? You said, maybe you told us last week, but remind me. Yeah, I've learned some things since we last talked. I thought I had a pretty good path.

I was like, let's break up this international travel. So it's like Salt Lake City, three hours. And then South Korea, 13 hours. and then down to Malaysia six hours.

That way I don't have one super long one. And I think the key to international travel is the time that you leave, like the departing time. Like I left at 1 p.m. out of Salt Lake City and that's when I ideally would have taken my eight-hour slumber. Pretty tough to do. Even with Sean Mendes and Pavlov on my side.

I couldn't get the job done. You couldn't fall asleep at all or you couldn't stay asleep? I mean 30 minutes. here, 30 minutes here. Okay. Hardly nothing. That's what I've learned. It's like, just, just find a flight that leaves at midnight.

And then, and then you'll be saved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because yeah, I had some, I just didn't get to sleep too much and had some pretty brutal jet lag at the first full day here. It's just like, it's just a weird feeling. You're just like your body,

it just feels like you, you know, pulled an all night during college and, yeah, you know, eyes feel weird. Oh, dude, I, I should try and write this picture in Texas. to you, but at the end of the day, I'm looking at everything I got tagged and everything. And I couldn't believe how, like, heavy my eyes looked. I'm like smiling with a fan.

My eyes are basically closed. Rachel said I look drunk. I mean, it was like really bad. But then one good night of sleep here, and, you know, I'm back. I'm fine now. But, yeah. Yeah, the jetlock plan didn't go well. That's good.

Yeah. Fun thing from the flight, the last flight from South Korea to here, I'm watching. watching that pickleball documentary that I told you, you know, Scott was eaten up. And right. Anyway, the flight attendant is like, oh, pickleball. And I go, yeah, I play pickleball. Do you? Yeah, I play pickleball too.

It's so fun. You know, whatever. 10 second interaction. And then two days later, a girl comes up to me at an event that I'm, you know, I'm talking, you know, in front of people. She goes, do you recognize me? And I go, yeah, you do look familiar. And she goes, I was your flight attendant.

I was like, wow. What are the chances, bro? I don't know how many millions of people live in Kuala Lumpur, but I feel like the odds have got to be low. that's insane. Yeah, the fact that she's even based in Kuala Lumpur. I mean, like, I've like flight attendant, it's like, sure. Who knows where they actually live?

That's insane. That was awesome. I want to, I want to merit it on this for a second. Like, because I mean, how many people, like, I know that you had a decent showing probably, but how many people? Like, 100, 200? There was probably 70 people at this event. But we do so many events.

I mean, yeah, like, it just, yeah, it's crazy. that's insane that's insane that's insane yeah in that many people and the fact that she was just kind of like casually like yeah i play pickleball yeah yeah yeah she's like i'm gonna also be at this very specific holy cow yeah i'll be at your event later yeah i don't think i think she was just there to play i don't think she knew who i was at all so that's yeah that was really crazy yeah i was like we got to get a picture that's good video i would let me give you something i like gave her just like random things i had just like I gave her like an Oras tour, a T-shirt, which I don't know if you've seen those. I don't know if I had a-

Yeah, I didn't know this was like the marketing scheme for you guys was the oras tour. I like this. Yeah, this is Matt's idea. And I was like, this is awesome. We already got one lawsuit going on. So, you know, let's bring on another. Maybe they cancel each other out is about how it works. It's like, no, like you want to sue us?

Well, they're suing us as well. So you both lose. Double jeopardy, I think. You can't get sued twice at the same time. Exactly what it means. Yes. What is that? Is it the office where someone gets double jeopardy

Like pretty wrong? What is that? Do you know that movie? That sounds kind of familiar. I know that Michael does catch 22 wrong. Yeah. I can't think of that. Oh, no, no.

Double jeopardy is like, um, or he's like, I don't think that's what, uh, how jeopardy works or something. He goes, sorry.

Uh, what is we're screwed or something like that. Like, like something along those lines. Um, Dude, speaking of Jeopardy, I download all these fun little games to play on my flight. And everything, permission to be a boomer real quick, everything is not the way it used to be. Everything is not. Mobile gaming is so different now. Like, they all have ads and they're all targeted ads.

You can't play any game without the internet these days. Because that's how they monetize. I mean, so I downloaded like a Jeopardy game. I was like, that'd be fun. Just quiz me for an hour. And yeah, I mean, I, I mean, I. eight different games. You can't, you can't, you can't play them without internet. Really?

They won't even, like, let you, that's a bummer. Like, I, well, I guess, I was going to say,

I understand, like, if you do have internet, that they should give you the ads for it, but then you would just turn off, or you turn off your Wi-Fi, turn off yourself or whatever.

That's a bummer. And you didn't, I'm sure you could have paid for it or whatever in advance, but you didn't know that. The, like for the app or, like, for Wi-Fi?

For the app. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, oh, like an ads free version. Yeah. But then you're paying for this game. You don't know if it's good or not. Yeah.

Did you find me that you did like? Like, were there any? Like, did you have the paper tossed into the trash can game? There were, there were two that I played. I got smarter on these flights. They were like the one was just called World Quiz. It was just, okay. Just, yeah.

Yeah, the more random they are, the less likely you can, you know, you're going to have ads on them. Yeah, I don't think many people have downloaded it. So they aren't really like thinking about monetizing it. And then one was called 10,000 offline games. It's got about 14 total games. They're working their way up to 10,000. That's a bit of a stretch.

They're aiming high. There's a couple games on there. Okay. But no, the travel was trying to think for the most part pretty easy. Dude, I had a girl, I think a girl. And I say that because like this person, this is like the long flight, the 13 hour flight, you know, oh, excuse me, I mean, that seat. Oh, okay. You know, I get up. I'm aisle. She goes middle. And then she puts her hood up. She kind of curls up on the seat and just like

roughly stays in that position for 13 hours. She didn't go to the bathroom. She didn't like get on her phone. She didn't touch the screen. She just kind of like wiggled around and like kind of slept the whole time. I felt like I should like check on her. Yeah, like check her pulse or something. while she's sleeping. Excuse me. Would you prefer neck or wrist? I'll just you both. He's she's fine.

I'll just see you. No problem. I'll see you at the pickleball court later. No, I checked in two spots. I checked in two spots. Trust me. She's fine. Wow.

Really, I like, who had to go off of because it was like, oh, yeah, I don't even remember what they look like. But I could see a little bit of like the nails are painted. But they were painted black. I don't know. These days, man, these days. These days, mobile ads and fingernail paint. But let them play darts. They can all play darts together.

I don't care what you say. In your heart, you know. In your heart, you know. Anyway, so I was proud of her. Sorry, that made me think of Steve Coop, which made me think of this. I texted Rachel the other day. Does she, maybe you're already privy to this, Jake. Which, by the way, it's privy, not privy.

Don't say privy. I've heard my friend Tate said privy one time on a podcast. I gave him the hardest time. Yeah, that's all right. Let me find this. There was a great tweet the other day. Sorry, post on X. Thanks.

Thank you. I always want to say right now, I hate searching for messages on my computer. It's the worst. It's the worst. I'm just going to scroll. I'm going to think it's going to be faster that way. Let's see. I texted Rachel and Catherine this, because, you know, above reproach.

Um, let me see if I can find it. Hmm. It was a, it was a tweet from Chuck Grassley, which if you don't know Chuck Grassley, he is, um, a dinosaur. Um, okay. He is, he's the best proof of dinosaurs that we have. Like he might be like, yeah, I remember back when dinosaurs were. Um, he's a senator. Is that right, Jake?

Yeah, he's like one of the big ones. I think of like Trump and three people die. He's president. Okay. So he's doing it. So, but he's also, he's been there forever. He's from Iowa. He's actually from Rachel's hometown in Iowa, which is like a tiny, tiny town, right?

Yeah, yeah. 2,000 people or something like that. And Rachel's really close friends with his granddaughter. Anyway, so she knows Chuck well. Like she knows him, like she knows his family, whatever, all these different things. So Chuck Grassley. He came to our wedding. He came to your wedding.

Yeah. He was the one that was on ventilators. Is that right? He was the one. eating from the tree and roaring around. I'm just going to text this to you guys real quick. Because it is, it's amazing,

dude. I don't know. And I don't follow him on his Twitter. So I don't know if this is like a common thing for him. But he tweeted this. He said, I'm taking a break from farming. Number two,

to watch Indiana fever professional women's basketball. I'm watching. Listen to this. This is crazy. I'm watching because BC, I am a follower of Caitlin Clark. If you haven't followed Caitlin Clark, you should. She's an all-American sports hero from right here in Iowa. Caitlin was a star at the University of Iowa.

So first of all, it's amazing that this guy, I mean, that's his tweet. That's got to be his tweet. Like it took him 30 minutes to make this tweet. he thought he thought the Venn diagram of people that A will be able to see a tweet and B have never heard of Caitlin Clark and C are following a senator from Iowa is infinitesimally small dude like think about think about the people that are like on Twitter following senator from Iowa and have never heard of Caitlin Clark. He's going after everybody and anybody. I just, I love that. I love that. I love imagining like,

just in case people don't know about Caitlin Clark, we're going to, we're going to fill him in. He can die and he'll say, I did, I did my, I tried to tell him. Dude, that reminds me, have you ever seen Magic Johnson's tweets? Yes. Just like summarizing things, right? Yeah, just like, obvious like that. I just quickly Googled Best Magic Johnson tweets. So here's kind of what he tweets. Laker fan, this is an old basketball player. Laker fans all over should be happy with the number two pick because the Lakers will get another really good player. And this guy's not a dinosaur.

Like he was dominating in like the 80s and like even into the 90s. Like he's not that old. Yeah. He's like the GM for the Lakers. He's competent. Like sometimes he just like basically takes an AI summary of a game and just tweets it basically. Like Lakers win 76 to 54.

Great performance by coach. Kobe Bryant. It's like, shooting guard, Lakers. Great performance by shooting guard Kobe Bryant number 24. Also,

he's dead. So how'd he get here? tweets like that. It's true. Treats like that. Yeah. Another one says, the only way San Antonio

or Miami don't win the championship is if neither team makes the finals. That is technically true. I've also heard that he texts somebody else to tweet those things for him. I might be wrong about this. This is like before like mobile data was that popular and you could text for

0-0-0-4 and it would post it to Twitter for you or something. Classic dude. Yeah. With Steph Curry on the floor, the Golden State Warriors are a championship team. Without him, they are still very good. That's deep.

That's deep magic. That's special. There's a lot of good ones. So what have you been doing? You've been like, I saw you get an interview at one point. It looked like pretty shortly after you got there. You've been, you were like interviewing. And like people laughed at whatever you said pretty well.

I'm like, okay. Yeah. I'm like, do people speak really good English there? And we just don't speak. Like, like, do people just hate Americans? Because we don't speak their language and they speak ours every time. I know. It feels so bad.

Because here they kind of lull you into this sense of security. Like, oh, yeah, they speak. English pretty good here, but then some people don't, and you're like, come on. Yeah. I'm in your country. Speak my language. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah. Like you, like, it's one thing to like understand somebody. It's another thing to understand somebody's like making a joke and laugh immediately. I'm like, yeah. Were there, were there some natives in the in the crowd or something that like you planted there? Like some flight attendant plants? There, one thing I've noticed there, I have seen almost zero white people, zero black people

It's been like surprisingly Asian. There are like millions of Asians, too, almost exclusively. That's been weird. Really, like, are people staring at you? Have you noticed that? No, I think that's only in like the rural parts of China where they like have maybe only seen white people on like a TV screen before. But I will say that first event you're talking about that did seem now that I've had a

little more sample size. Those were some of the best like English speakers we've interacted with the whole time we were here. In that room was a bunch of content creators. So I think maybe like because their English is so good, maybe it makes them want to do content, you know. I see. I don't know what the Venn diagram is. But yeah, anyway, yeah, that was, you know, I landed. I didn't get to the hotel until, um, midnight. And then yeah, had our first event at like eight or nine a.m. the next morning. And, you know, we get there and like, we're so excited to have you. Um, I know everyone's really excited for your social media presentation. Presentation.

Presentation sounds like there's visuals. Yeah. Como Citi say. Presentation. Maybe there's a translation issue. Okay. But I have Kyle with me. You know, so honestly, we're like, okay, I don't, I don't know if we knew we were, like,

presenting necessarily, but fun. And honestly, I've been here a few days now. That was one of my favorite things I've done. like immediately 10 minutes into it like light bulb went off like why don't we do this way more like send me and kyle around i think even the united states this could work and talk to people about it and um and just answer a lot of questions you know it's one of those things like you don't realize how much you know until someone you ask you questions about stuff um so uh that was really cool yeah but really it's just yeah just a lot of different events there's all these different facilities

and places and so uh we have enough of a following to kind of you know and they're kind of of all over different parts of town. So it's like you go to North Kuala and do an event there and you go to west, you know, and get about a hundred people at each one of these things and you do different events. So yeah, it's great. Those first two days were, we're tough though. I even had the thought like, I've never done a good job really accepting the compliment or even just like believing when people are like, I've seen what you've built and I know you just work so hard. And something about like the word hard. I'm like, farmers work hard, like nurses work hard. Like I work out. Like I work a lot, but I don't know if I work hard. I do social media, you know, but first two days of

quality of poor, if I earned a badge a little bit. There's certain times where it's like, yeah, this was, I worked hard. Yeah. Yeah. Especially because you were like doing, you were physically working too, right? Alongside of the mental load, like you were playing, I saw. Like, yeah, and that's mainly what I mean. Yeah, it's just like, just, you're, you're on because you're in front of fans and people who have seen every video and they, they love you. Um, but also you're physically, yeah, repeating it, you know, it's 90 degrees and it's 85% humidity, you know, it's just kind of unbelievable. Like, yeah, your body just never runs out of sweat.

It just keeps going. Yeah, I feel like, I feel that way in Gold Shores, like, often where it's like, man, we did work hard. We, we, we're grinding here. Like, yeah. It's so fun. And so it's like, I don't think it has to be like hard, like different, like, it doesn't have to be grueling in order for it to be hard.

Maybe it does. I don't know. You know what I mean? I'm having fun in Gold Shores, but it's like, I'm also pushing myself pretty, pretty much to the limit. Like, not having a hard time sleeping at all. You know? Goethor's actually is a pretty good comparison to this, I would say.

Yeah. Because there's like the emotional, like social aspect of it and the physical aspect of it, right? Like both. Yeah. It's like, and lack of sleep gets thrown in there and you're probably a little dehydrated the whole time. And, um, but it's one of those things like, I can do this for 10 days though. Yeah.

Shout out Elena Morris. I remember, yeah, whatever year that was, second year, as she was leaving, she was in session one, we had session two coming up. She's like, Brad, make sure you drink a lot of water. Make sure, make sure you drink a lot of water. Like, she's such a good mom. So shout out Elena for like, and honestly, I was like, in my head, I was like, I think I'm drinking enough water. But then after that, I was like, I think Elena's right. I think I need more water.

So shout out Elena. So yeah, so how much longer, what's your schedule? I don't, I don't have any idea. Like, are you in Malaysia the whole time? You've told me this, but where's the Times Square thing? Yeah, that, so we've got like, I don't know, four more days here in Malaysia. And then all of us are going to go to Manila, Philippines for just like two days. The Thrilla in Manila.

Yeah. Yeah. And then I come home, but then everyone else is going to stay back. And then they go to Vietnam or China or Philadelphia. Okay. Will you, do you feel comfortable calling yourself the killer in Manila? What about? Yeah.

Because of my skin tone. Vanilla. Wait, wait. Oh, very good. You pause. That was the only time we've ever had lagged this entire time. Oh, really?

I thought you were about to make a joke right at the right time. What about? And you just go, because of my skin tone. Yeah. Vanilla in Manila. I like that. That's good.

Big vanilla. What do you think, Timon? Or just kill a. Might as well combine the big vanilla killer in Manila. What about? They got farmers and they, I got farmers in Philippines. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Tillas in Manillas. What about that? Steve Coop, you like that? Dude, you know, they love, um, they love, like, little, like, wafers around here. Mm-hmm. Manila and Manila. That kind of sounds like we're entering slur territory. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, come here, you little Nilla. What's the, Manila? Manila. What, uh, take it, I had one. Oh, you whip your hair back and forth. Willa and Manila. Of all the options, that's incredible that came to your mind. Willa.

Oh, you could do a cold plunge. You could chill in Manila. Sounds nice. Maybe I willa. Put something up on your window. Silla in Manila. Anyway. All right, let me tell you about this.

Young Adults Conference real quick. Oh, yeah. I would say overall, success. Met some ghosty. Shout out Josh and Taylin. Shout out to them. They were sweet. They were fun.

Didn't get a meeting for very long, but they were, so the guy putting it on, his name's Nick. He's awesome. I love Nick. He's a pastor of our church. He's like the young adults pastor.

And it was a young adults conference, so it's like 18 through 28 year olds. The thing is the goal. So Timon, Timon's people. Yeah. Didn't see Timon there. No problem.

but no it was it was really good they but nick was very like adamant i think it was one of those whatever i'm trying to praise nick first before i just like say these things because i don't want him to listen to this and be like oh what the uh it was his first time i think doing this conference and i think they were very optimistic is the right word as far as like the schedule being perfect like like like like to the point where like i honestly i honor the idea by behind what he's doing. But like, it was like, all right, 9.30, we get done with this. You know, we watched this video. It's going to take three minutes. So then 933, you're on and you have 17 minutes until 950. You know, and so it's like, all right, 11-11,

you get done with this. And then we have lunch to 1151. And then after that, you know, and it's just the reality of probably conferences in general, but specifically like young adults and like that crowd is like they're so social. They're so like down to just like hang out that I think something that was supposed to start at 7 o'clock on Friday, like literally, and Nick was like, we had like a pre pre show meeting kind of thing. He's like, no matter what, just get up on stage at 7 o'clock and you have till 7.10. And it's a 7 o'clock and it's like there's like, there's like, literally everyone is out in the lobby just like hanging out talking. It's like there's like there. And so I thought of you a little bit of like this, you know, the MC, the host of

a stand-up thing where it's like, people are. aren't settled yet. Yeah. They call it taking the bullet. Taking the bullet. And it's like, it's one thing when it's like, okay, you know, maybe there's, there's only 50% people there and it's a thousand people venue. But it's different when it's like, there's not that many. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's like there's, there's, like people like, it's like the worship leader's wife is sitting down and like, you know, maybe a few other people. And so I was like, I just kept, I waited and finally, Nick was like, yeah, we'll wait. we'll wait for a few more minutes.

Like, okay, great. I was ready to potentially do it or, you know, figure out what I need to do. But, um, I mean, honestly, dude, I had 10 minutes basically three different times. The third time I was supposed to have like 25 minutes, but because lunch took forever and they were down at the other side of the church at the gym for lunch, and it took them forever to migrate everybody over. It made my 25 minutes go to like nothing.

Um, and 10 minutes is almost not enough time in my opinion. It's like, it's a tough time. because it's like, I mean, it was good. I think I packed it in pretty well, but like I, it's like, it's like you have to, you can't really do more than one thing super well in 10 minutes. Like you can do stand up for 10 minutes, fine. Like that's a plenty of time for stand up. You can do a game for 10 minutes, fine.

But to try to do like, I did basically like three minutes of standup, three, four minutes of just like jokes and whatever and then try to do a game and did a game. But like it felt like I was, I was on the clock fast. it. Yeah. Because I wanted to really respect us like, I know that out of all the things in this conference, this is the one thing that's like fluff.

Like everything else is like meat. You know what I mean? Like everything else is like the things that are valuable. My thing is just like bringing some energy, bring some fun. And so yeah, we played some, I actually did some like ghost,

Ghostrunners theme games basically. I did the first night I did like a five and ten kind of thing. Fun. And this was kind of funny. I, first of all, one of the guys that came up, Josh was one of the ghosties.

But the first guy, like I was like, introduce yourselves. And this guy goes, do you want first name or first and last name? Which is a funny thing. They did ask. Whoever, whoever is like, you know, I was like, you know what? Just because you ask that, we're going to go middle names only. And so first of all, this guy, this guy just goes, oh, no, you don't want to know my middle name. You don't want.

I'm like, what? And his middle name was Bulgarian. And it's like Bulgoth or something like that. Stroganoff. Yeah. So I was like, were your parents like Lord of the Rings fans or what's going on? I didn't know what the story was behind it. Because his name is James, but they, yeah, I might know this is Bulgoth or whatever.

So we went down the line, you know, this girl, like there were three guys that said their name, Robert, you know, Bolgoff, somebody else. Josh, I forget me, your middle name. And then this girl's like, Catarina. And then this girl was like Elizabeth. and the next girl goes, Elizabeth. And I just go, okay, we got some white girls here tonight. Yeah, I got some vanilla. Yeah, exactly.

And I feel like that's one of those classic, like, instances where that is such a, that's not even PG. That's just a, that's just an edgy-g, like joke. Like, that's not even like anything. But the fact that I mentioned a race, you know, in a church setting, I feel like was like, enough for people to be like, oh, snap, you know, we're making jokes. Okay. Acknowledging race. Yeah.

Like what works in different scenarios. You know, like imagine trying to like even explain that to Dave Chappelle. I mean, I think it would, it would blow his brain up, you know? Right. Like it's just so funny. The context of like Christian culture, church culture. Oh, yeah. People reference that joke for three days after.

Like, they kept being like, dude, the Elizabeth thing. Right? White girls. They were white. They were white. Everyone was. that's how I knew I was in Malaysia two whites

yeah exactly two people middle name Elizabeth um how we're like three minutes of jokes they're good I uh what did I do the first night

I'm trying to remember now shoot do some world cup stuff oh oh I I basically you kind of said something last week of like just be physical

like do some physical comedy do some whatever like be laugh like basically I just is like listen I'm going to try to bring the energy and bring the fun like that's what I'm in charge of So like, if I do that, then we win.

You know, we're doing it. And so I said, one of my biggest pet peeves in the world. And maybe I've talked, I'm sure I've talked about this in the podcast. Truly, I hate it when people do this. If you ever do this, don't, just stop. Just don't be this person ever. Please. Please.

It's worse than the hood on the head without putting your arms in. And everyone's seen it. Dude. It's when people go, how are we doing tonight? Good. Ready? Oh, come on, we can do better than that. I say, how are we doing it?

I, dude. I, yeah, so I basically just ranted about this and I was just like, if I could, I would have negative noise that second time. Like, I get so mad. We take the noise from other people. Yes, dude. I, I, and, but I said, but I think that the thing that people don't, I think that the people asking the question need to take more credit or more responsibility for the response on this first thing. It's on you.

It's the way you ask that first time. Because if you come up there like, you know, people do it at church all the time. Church, good morning. Good morning. Oh, come on. We're in the house of the Lord. I said, good morning. It's like, well, yeah, if you said that the first time, maybe we get a little excited.

Whatever, I didn't rate like this on the stage, but I, you know. And so I said, it's so true. And so I said, so it's, it's the responsibility of me. So, so I said, I'm going to, I'm going to hype you guys up. And then at one time, I'm going to ask you how you doing, how we do it, you know, and you have one chance. I promise I will not do it again. I will never do it again. And so I, I kind of did my little jock jams.

I just kind of stood there for like four seconds of pregnant pause. You start nodding. Timing comes out with a cahone. Yeah. And just like, and people started clapping, people started getting into it. I started pointing to different parts of the section. And then I was just like, block case conference, how we do it, and I? Dude, that's so good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's probably, I mean, two of your three minutes right there. Correct, dude. It was like, all of a sudden it was like, oh, crap, I got to do this game quick now. So, yeah, anyway. So I did that. That is so good. It is the worst.

I feel like, you've probably seen this too. Like it's not just like, come on, you can do better. Sometimes they like will throw like a little passive insult too. Like, hey, uh, Crossroads campus. How we doing today? Oh, maybe we have a lot of Broncos fans in the house. I said, or, you know, it's like something random like, oh, I didn't know. Yeah, right.

Yeah, right last night. I said, it's like, oh, come on, dude. For whatever reason, that. has always just grinded my gears. I'm so with you. I've never, even the first time I heard it, I wasn't like,

oh, we weren't loud enough the first time. I like this guy. I've never liked it. I've never made a noise the second time. I just look at him like, you jerk. Like,

it's your fault. You can go bog off. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I called that guy all sorts. I changed his name every time. You know,

Gorbachev, all right. Dodgers, get over here. exactly what do I even have to say about cozy earth that we haven't already said

about cozy earth I don't know so I think we're going to say the same thing again let's see what is there left to say there's got to let me find something

on their website right now at cozy earth.com slash ghost turns that we have not talked about yet have we talked about their men's shoes yet Jake no

have we talked about their lake house clogs yet okay first of all I actually might buy some of these. Yeah. These are vibe and, and like, they're definitely like the thing right now is like these clogs. I was on the website for Mother's Day stuff and I saw the Lakehouse clogs. I was like, good for them.

Dang. I bet they're great. They have, they have some nice colors. I personally like this one here, which is called the Lakehouse clog color of chestnut. I think I'm going to get a chestnut pair. They have every, every size from women's five to men's 13. Okay. And if you use our promo code GRKC at cozy earth.com slash ghostrunners, you can get 20% off your order.

You deserve it. That sounds a, send us a selfie of cloggedozing. All right? I love that. I can't wait to make an excuse to take that picture. it's going to be awesome. We're going to finally finish the, you know, Lord of the Rings number three or whatever and clogging Daws it up.

Use a promo for the pillow case. Do it. So anyway, the crowd was fun. It was an interesting setting because they were originally, they were anticipating or praying, prayerfully hoping for like a thousand people. And I think they got probably 200.

And so obviously way less, which 200 is still a lot of people. But like, uh, they still, they had reserved, you know, obviously far in advance to this church, our church, large church with lots of things going on. So they reserved like the large worship center. So I, which holds like a thousand people. So therefore 200 people is just a new, it's just a different challenge. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, okay.

200 people in a setting that has the capacity for 100 feels way less than if we were at 200 people in a setting that's supposed to have 150 people in it. Like the energy is just different. You know what I mean? And so there were times where I got down on their level. There were times where, you know, whatever, tried to just get them involved and like kind of take it, use it as an advantage of like I can talk to them rather than like just a large group of people. So, yeah, it was fun.

We did. So we did that. I literally, I think everything we did was kind of inspired by Ghostrunners. because we did five and ten the next day i did the upside down glasses i did like a game with that remember uh from gulf shores oh yes that haley herman brought yes did so much fun and so use those and people were like basically like the idea was just like throw the ball to your partner and then they have to try to catch it and if they don't catch it they have to go get the ball and bring it and put it on top of one of these cups you know and whoever can do that the most times in a minute

wins or something and so people were like yeah the the sound guy Dalton, shout out Dalton. Dalton was like, hey, you're going to do this on stage? I was like, yeah, he's like, people are going to fall off the stage. I was like, Dalton, I promise I'm not going to let that happen.

Like, come on, man. But they ended up throwing the ball off the stage a lot. And so Big Daddy got his aerobics in hard. Because I was jumping off the stage to grab the ball and throw it back up there. So I showed off my twinkle toes a little bit. People get a pretty good kick out of that? Because I love that when people,

it just reached the wrong direction. It was one of those classic, once again, classic times where it's like, I can't tell for sure how many people are laughing. But then like Luke Hogan, I saw him at one point. He's like, oh, dude, people were, people were dying laughing. Like, people were loving that. People were loving those jokes.

But I can't always, when it's that big of a room, you can't always hear if people are dying laughing or not, you know. So, and then the last thing we did was I did speech jammer with a bunch of like the staff, like, just brought them all up on. And your boy, Ryan Getsman, who I never really met before. He's, his wife is good friends with Rachel. And he's also one of the young adults guys at this ministry. And he came up, dude.

And he was, he was awesome. He was borderline as good as you. Like, I mean, just amazing. And I tried to ask him some pretty open-ended, but also, like, easy to answer questions. So I asked them, like, how do you, like, there's a lot of different ways to make peanut butter and jelly. How do you make it? You know, I, hey, hey? The night.

You know, he's just. And so people are dying at him doing that. So anyway, he did a great job. Oh, dude, this is actually good. So I don't know Ryan very well. You know him better than I do. I like, I like a lot, though, from what I've gotten to know him. So, uh, time.

And he, he came up after me, uh, in the morning of the, the Saturday, whatever and gave a quick announcement. And it's kind of a classic thing to do in church circles, conference or whatever. to like use prayer as like a transition, almost like I say. Yeah. And like, and I think that people know that and people are like, we're not just going to just pray just to transition everything all the time. And so the first night, I think we, Nick did pray before, because it was like me and then somebody came up and gave a quick announcement or two and then worship. The second day was the same thing.

Me and then Ryan came up and then worship. But Ryan didn't pray in between getting done and doing worship. And he was just like, all right. So now we're going to go ahead and sing some songs. And it was kind of like kind of funny, kind of whatever. But he comes off off the stage and I'm like standing right in the front row because I just gotten done. And he stands right next to me.

He's like, dude, that was so awkward what I just did right there for the songs. And for whatever reason, the way he acknowledged it, I died laughing. I was just like. Because like you can tell he felt it. He felt like, oh. what have I done with this? So that was a pretty good moment. But yeah, overall, it was just an easygoing, fun crowd.

And hopefully they felt like I did a good job. Of course, everyone was nice about it afterwards, but I don't think it would be mean. I wish I could have been there or helped out or something. It sounds great. I had more plans for the speech jammer I was going to do. I had some tongue twisters prepared. I had some karaoke.

I was going to do like karaoke with speech jammer. That's kind of fun. But we just didn't have time. It was just like, we had like seven minutes. And so I was like kind of rushing through it. But overall it was a great time. And yeah, can't complain. So yeah, I literally rushed from there.

Like got done with speech jammer, ran out the room and ran to Bo's birthday party. You know, Lego theme birthday party with basketball was the idea. But it was just six year olds just playing all over the place. And so I get there and there's literally just six kids, each of them with a different weapon, just like paired up fighting each other. I was like, somebody's about to get decapitated. It's awesome. You're getting that Lord of the Rings scene that you wanted. I know, truly.

Finally, yeah. So, anyway, but yeah, all at all, it's been a successful weekend. I think Catherine felt loved and appreciated on Mother's Day. We went out to eat after church and just kind of hung out. Yeah, I can't complain about anything, man. It's been good. We're blessed. Good gauntlet.

Good gauntlet. Yeah. Good gaunt. Absolutely. And she like, she apologized at one point yesterday. I'm like, I'm sorry I have Mother's Day in my birth. I didn't choose, you know, whatever. And I was like, I hate that you have to apologize. I hate that you feel like, like you can tell this is a burden on me. Because of course it's like a lot, but I don't want it to, I want it to feel like she's being blessed, not that I'm like so stressed about anything. But anyway, so I'm working on that. I don't know

how to do that better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever it is. But, uh, no, it was a lot of fun. Well, I think calling it a gauntlet on the podcast should help. I think so. I've definitely used that word 10 times, too. Like, yeah, it's a gauntlet. Are you guys excited for vacation, though? I mean, that's got to be nice. Like, you kind of have the, like, finish line of like, all right, just grind until then.

I love, I love it. And I love the idea of that. Like, it's never fun to, like, coast into vacation, you know? Like, it feels like you should earn it. Yeah, exactly. And I feel like we are going to earn it so hard. It's going to be awesome. And like just emotionally, I mean, obviously, Catherine, when she's with her family,

is so happy. And so, yeah, it's just fun. It's just easygoing. And there's just more people around to entertain our kids and play with our kids. And hopefully, you know, I think Henry specifically, Henry's never been to the beach, right? Maybe he was at the beach, I guess, super, when he was super young. But, I mean, he loves playing outside with sand and rocks and water. And like, it's like he is built.

Like this, he has like this tactile love for like stuff within his hands and stuff. So I think he's going to thrive. I hope. And who knows? Maybe it's going to be one of those things where he's got to get scared to the stand the first day and we're on the steps the whole time. I don't know. But it should be really fun. And yeah.

I feel bad as we were texting and aligning schedules. I think are you going to have to record three remote podcasts from the beach? Yeah, we'll figure it out. Like at least two, I think. Yeah. That's too bad. That's okay. At least the time zone will be better.

My in-laws never tell me that I work hard. So maybe they'll finally see that. You get told that you work hard all the time. My in-laws are like, what does he do to make money? Gama. One mother's day a year? Too much for him? Yeah, it'll be fine.

Yeah, exactly. It'll be fine. We'll figure out. Maybe we'll have some of Catherine's family, you know, join in at some point or something. Why not? Get Uncle Brooks on there or something. when he said earning you know you know working towards the vacation it reminded me uh so you know all the guys the other friday guys who haven't been here yet they're texting me you know how's the

first day and everything and i go guys i i'm normally not a complainer i can rally i could push or anything but i can't believe how bad like jet lag is just like having its way with me i didn't expect this you know whatever just kind of filling him in yeah and matt goes like um dude i think like in for future trips like if it's worth like you being 100% like for day one and all the days going forward you should probably just fly business class and Scott who hasn't texted you know in two hours you know we're flying business class we're all doing business class. Just fipes in there and it's like Scott calm down Scott going on I go I go I can play first I get it.

I charge the card yeah oh man so I don't know how serious he is but yeah the idea of like a lay down seat, if they could, like, guarantee Wi-Fi and you could lay down, then I would come to, like, Asia way more. Yeah, you'd be fine. That's what, yeah, so business class is the one where you lay down, lie down, whatever. Like, I don't know the difference. Like, are they always lie down seats or whatever? Are they, uh, like, does it, does it change?

I don't really know. First class and business class are different. I, I don't know that. They don't really let you even see up at the front, you know? Like, I don't even know what, yeah, I don't know. how far I've even gotten on one of these planes. I don't know if I've seen all of it or if there's even more because they are so huge. Scott would be so obnoxious if he ever flew business class.

He'd have some weird sunglasses on that are unnecessary. To be fair to Scott, I would be very obnoxious if I ever flew business class too. All right, Scottie, I don't want, I know, like I would take every free thing they gave me. I would, I would, you know, ask for weight. Like, you get unlimited food? Great. then we're loading up, you know. This is great.

He literally just texted me, what room are you in? So it sounds like they just landed. They just got to the hotel. So they might join us for the tail end of this. Yeah, what time is it there? It's 1130 at night. Okay.

1130 or 1124? 1124. Okay. I had a little 10 p.m. latte before we started recording. Let's go. What time are you got to get up in the morning? I don't know what our morning plan is. Tomorrow we don't have any major events.

Tomorrow's like competition. for Scott and Kyle so it'll be just to get to watch them and kind of play a supporting role. I get to just film and upload and stuff and yeah not be in front of people as much so yeah tomorrow we find oh dude it is I can't wait for the next time we record because I'll get to follow up on this we went to the to the venue today it's actually walkable from our hotel it has all the makings of a potential fire festival like what you mean the tier square thing no no no just like this PPA like the tournament oh oh okay it's like tomorrow in the next few days like you remember the documentary you know

seen everything even if you haven't seen the documentary i mean you know what fire festival is i mean like i don't know why they chose this facility i mean every facility we've been to in the last three or four days is like nicer than this one this one only has eight total courts there's like scaffolding everywhere they're like like hammering things in like by hand when we were there this afternoon it does not look good and it's supposed to rain tonight i'm like oh dude that is like fire Fair Fest. Yeah. I'm like, should I be filming stuff for a future documentary? Like, what if they make one? Yes. Did you? Did you take a few just in case? Like, it's a quick, like, yeah, you took a couple quick ones. But yeah, I mean, just like truly just like scaffolding. I mean, it's, this is going to be interesting.

I always wonder, like, I feel like you see that a decent amount in documentaries. Like, I don't know if we're ever going to get this thing done. I don't know. It's like, why are we waiting until the last minute here? Like, uh, like Mr. Beast, the Beast game's thing. Remember that? They were like working through the night. on that thing. It was like this massive facility. It's like, what do, are you, were you busy with a really, really important job before this? Like, how busy were you? I'm with you. I don't get that.

Okay, so that's fun. Eight courts is like a city park. Like, we have eight courts at some of our parks here in Kansas City. Yeah, they could have known this at Meadowbrook. Yeah, right. That's wild, dude. Okay. I'm excited to hear more about it.

Do you think Kyle, like, Does it feel like people knew who you guys were there? For the most part, yeah, because you always wonder, this is something I brought up to Matt because Matt landed this afternoon. So we got to have dinner with him. He's like, how are things going? And I think Asian culture is so respectful that sometimes like we had an event yesterday where we're addressing people and we open it up to questions and there's really not

that many questions, you know, so I'm like, oh, maybe they don't know us. They're just like here for free pickleball or whatever. And then once we open it up to like autographs, like they form. a line and every person wanted multiple autographs and pictures and everything. It was like, oh, they actually, they were in love with us. They just don't want to ask us anything. Or, you know, just like, they're just like very reserved in like a group setting and like, just very quiet and well-mannered, I would say.

Yeah. But yeah, for the most part, I mean, yeah, a surprising amount of fans out here, which is cool. That's cool. I'm excited to hear about the fire fest potential. Have you ever seen that time or heard about this? I, it sounds familiar. It's like some music festival that just like was either false advertised or like didn't happen or like went downhill. Just over promised like crazy.

Yeah. And then like after people already got there, it basically just got canceled. And I mean, it really. It's one of those things. It's like, why do I love this so much? Why am I? I don't know. What is it like?

Or why is it? I guess it's so interesting because it's just such a disaster. I think anything like that is just such a disaster is so interesting to me similar to like that Woodstock documentary Woodstock 96 or whatever that was yeah that was very good because it's just like this is this is this is terrible. Anarchy, this is just like yeah just absolutely terrible yeah crazy so you should watch it there's there's actually two of them I feel like the one on Hulu is better done at least it used to be on the room. I'm trying to remember which ones they kind of which they were both they were both they're both good. good in their own way. Who had the guy in it, Billy McFarland? Oh, yeah. But Netflix was the one that had the, um, the pretty infamous interview. Yeah, the water bottle.

Yeah. I don't know what. Yeah. We don't have to say anything else. Yeah. He was going to give a head massage to somebody. Big time. Yeah.

Um, so anyway, um, this is kind of random, funny. tell me if this is a good, a good, a good line or not. So we were at Bo's baseball game last night. He did just fine. He actually had some good smacks. At one point he did turn his helmet backwards while on the base paths. He thought that was pretty funny. I said, Bo stop it.

But he thought he was pretty funny. But after the game was over, we were walking back to our car. And there was, there was like some high school softball going on at the field next to us. So I said, you guys don't want to watch this? Because I think it's always good to, I don't know, show the kids, older kids playing so they can see what it should look like. Yeah. Anyway, so these teams are playing, and this girl has a pretty good little line drive to the shortstop. And the shortstop stabs at it, catches it.

And then, but then actually doesn't end up catching it. Like, almost catches it and then it falls down. And so we're just kind of standing there. We're getting ready to go, actually. Catherine's like, started talking to me. And then I hear like this uproar from like over on that side of like that that team's bench. And no what? No!

No! Like Catherine was trying to talk about you. Like Catherine, we're talking about. Catherine, we're talking about this right now. We're watching this because I think something's about to go down. And Catherine, one of the things about her, she loves like altercations in sports. Like has always always, any time there's like a fight on the field, I'm always like, Catherine, come in here.

Come in here. There's a fight. There's a fight going on. And so apparently. the um called said that the girl did catch the shortstop did catch the ball and then it fumbled out of her hands

on the transfer. Which I'm not an ump but that was absolutely incorrect. Like as a non-objective fan I was like no she just dropped the ball. Like she basically had it but she dropped it. I don't think she caught it like in my opinion and the

the side like the team that was in justly unjustly whatever called was just getting mad. The refs were like, or the coaches were like, that's ridiculous. That's insane. And it was the Blue Valley School versus a Catholic school. And this Blue Valley dad,

tell me if this is a good lie or not. He goes, I hope they have a priest. I hope you're going to a priest later, because you're going to have to say that in confession. What do you think? I can't hear you. End the up immediately turn around. He goes,

Who said that? Who said that? You're gone. You're gone. You're gone. And, you know, the second up in the field's like, he said it right there. You know, like these guys all of a sudden,

when umps are like mad and they have that mad walk to him and they're pointing at him like, you're gone. I need him gone. I need him out of here. And this, this dad goes up, gets up.

He says, I'll say it again. You know, like he's like, like the anger that these parents is high school. I don't know. Yeah. So,

but I mean, give me a break, dude. I mean, I don't know. I just, I can understand, like, yelling, out of anger, I can understand yelling a quick, like, come on, you know, something like that. I don't, I can't understand being like, I'm going to have a 17 word, you know,

dis to your own quick. Yeah. And it's like, I'm not going to stop myself the entire time. And you're one liner. Hope you have a priest where you're going later because you're going to need to tell that during confession. And imagine being so unfunny that you get kicked out of a game for it. Like, you didn't even cuss or say anything inappropriate. It's just so unfunny.

He's like walking around. He's like, I hope he does have a priest. I hope he does have a priest. I meant it. I'm like, you're awesome, dude. Good job. That's so cool. You're making an impact on these kids, man.

Thank you. Thank you. So that was, yeah, so we got to witness that. And Catherine, of course, loved it. Loved every minute of it. And so you think that was good for Beau? You think you kind of learned how to behave after watching that? See?

So, yeah, turn your helmet. forwards or else that's what's going to happen to you. Somebody's going to yell at you like that. Yeah, I don't know, man. So anyway, Brad, I've been thinking about you the last few days. Because I was like,

if it, I don't know really know a world where it actually would make sense, but I was like, I would love to have you here with it. Like the last three days, we actually could have used you to be like a, like a programs guy for us, like a programming guy.

Okay. Because I know, you know, we think the same way a lot about this stuff. But I'm kind of like the talent, so to speak. You need like an intermediary to like do things. Like some of the things that have been done here. And I don't even think it's a Malaysia thing. I think it's just a lot of people just don't have.

Don't have the experience we have of like running events with large people. And so there was one event where they have these like Britney Spears microphones that come down and they actually connect to like the loudspeaker at the entire facility. So like, all right, we're going to do this exhibition match. you guys get miced up while you play I'm like oh wow and so he hands me two microphones I give one to Kyle and he's like oh no no no I was thinking each team would have one microphone so because of this other guy

who just proceeds to just say no words and just breathe heavily into the microphone for the next 15 minutes oh my goodness oh geez like you took it out of the hands of the the content creators.

It gave it to the breather, gave it to the sleep apnea guy. And of course, I'm like extremely aware of it. Like if I don't have something, like I pull it away when I'm playing. And then when I have something to say. And this guy just,

it never crosses mind that everyone is hearing me breathe. That was unbelievable. It was pretty obvious to you that they were like, that they were doing this. Yeah. I mean, not on purpose. On the court,

you could hear it though is what I'm trying to say. Like, it's some of the only things you could hear. Yeah. Okay. It was just. silent but he's breathing there's no music or anything they made everyone stop to watch his game and he was like hearing him breathe oh there's no music see there's another programs exactly it's like

hey find the balance here immediately after the exhibition they're like all right you guys can go back to like your courts and do like open play we're going to rotate through playing against jake and kyle and they're like all right kyle now you can have the microphone and we're like well well now i think we don't need to be miced up because no one is watching like it won't make sense to amplify us and he's like, no, no, no, you have Mike, you have Mike. And it's like, I promise this isn't a good idea. No. And then you just start acting like you can't understand them.

Oh, what? What? I'm Jake. I'm Jake. Mike Jordan basketball. Jake, triplet, pickleball. Michael Jackson. Yes, good movie.

Mike Jackson. Yeah. This is it. Yep, this is it. This is it. Good, good song. I might. You might.

Yeah. Jake, wonderful text that I just got. You ready for this? Yes. Once again, messages bothering me, loading forever.

I got a text from my boy, Ben Spel, owner, operator, president, whatever, main man at good ranchers.com who said, I would love to provide meat

for Gulf Shores again this year. So, huge, the program, Good Ranchers is providing meat for Gulf Shores. It's going to be amazing because one of my favorite things to do is to show people good ranchers meat and they can experience the difference for themselves. They taste it and they're like, oh, wow, I thought you were just blowing smoke. It's like, no way.

We're smoking meat is what we're doing. It is nice. I've seen Brad Forced people, like spoon feed them good ranchers and Gulf Shores. And yeah, it's weird. It's on a spoon. Yes. I did to a new board one time. I blended it up and just said,

stick it in there with your formula. They won't ever notice difference. Protein's good for him. You know who that baby was? It's Diamond. Leonel Messi, oh, timing. Yeah, it was, dude. Timon grew up real quick.

He grew up to love good ranchers. Yeah, if you don't know about good ranchers. Jake, tell them about good ranchers. It is all-American and also very, like, clean and organic meat that you can trust and, like, feel good feeding your family with. because there's no added hormones, there's no GMOs. None of the bad stuff. It's just the meat.

And you can trust it, and it tastes great. And it's good, like, portion sizes, good prices. And you can get a free. There's just a lot of perks when you use promo code GRKC. You get money off your order. You get free expended shipping. And you'll get a free, like, protein add-on for as long as you keep your subscription. Indefinitely, for life.

Pass it down. Put in your will. That's right. Put it in your trust. Put it in your, put it under your pillow. if you're one of those people that doesn't have one of those things. Just sleep on it. Just sleep on it with your cozy earth.

So good ranchers.com promo codes. GRKC, it's American meat delivered. It's the best meat that you can ever try in your entire life. I promise you. It's the best. Check them out. And then I'm trying to think what else. We did one last night at a, like a mall.

It was pretty cool, actually. And this guy had things pretty organized. But then it was another one of those like, all right, two people. We're going to go through quickly. everyone is going to get a turn playing against Jake and Kyle just five points really quickly. And so two people come up and he goes, oh, no, no, no, no. You don't form a line. This is going to be just like we're going to do like a raffle for it.

No. And so then for one, that's an issue because you don't get to play again like with your wife or your friend. Like the person you came with. Now you have to play against me and Kyle against like with some random person. Oh, the raffle doesn't include both of you. Like it's not a two person raffle. Yeah. Raffles are awful.

Sorry. Let's talk about raffles real quick. Raffles are the worst way you could do anything. Raffles suck the energy out of a room better than anything I could think of. I've done them. Okay. Hand up. I've done a raffle.

I thought it was a good idea one time. And it's either like, it's either, you know, you say six of your seven numbers and then the last one's not yours and you're sad. Or it's like you say, you know, a bunch of people's numbers that aren't in the room anymore. And then you have to say more numbers. numbers. No? No, anybody seen her? All right.

And you have to repeat it again or you have to keep going, like, it's like, oh, raffles. Yeah. Sorry. Raffles are terrible. So the first issue is that, yeah, you're playing with like a stranger and probably not the one person he came with. The second issue is like, while we're doing this, all the other courts are being used. So they're like calling someone's name, but they could be anywhere.

So they're having to call it over and over. Does anyone see Noreen? See? No, and so that takes forever. And what they do is. And they're playing on other courts. So like. Yeah.

Yeah, you have to, it's so loud in there. Okay. And then the third thing is they wouldn't have two people ready to go. It was like, our game was over. All right, let's raffle off two more names. And then that takes about four to five minutes each time. Just stuff like that where it's like it's little things. It's not a huge deal, but it's like, you got to feel.

I know we could do this way better. We could, we could, you could have churned through like the fact that we don't want to just form a line because that would not be fair. It's like that would have been better because then everyone would have gotten a chance eventually, probably. versus this is not, we're only going to get through 10 people or whatever. I don't know how many people ended up playing with you guys. That's, that's funny.

Yeah. Yeah. Just funny things like that. Where I'm like, man, would it be worth it to bring Brad out here just to do this? Just bring it on, baby.

Just the raffle guy. I would love, that'd be a fun, a fun job for me. I'd be interested to see how I would enjoy like not being in front of people. Because, yeah, every time I've done program stuff like you,

it's like we have done both sides of it where it's like we are very in control of both like where it's like no this is what we're doing and then I'm going to go do it like yeah it'd be kind of fun because I think I could be even more like of a stickler to like no we're not doing the raffle give me that give me those tickets and I will burn them like I don't know like I wouldn't be obviously like a total you know tool about it but like I think I could stand up for you better than I could ever stand up for myself you know what I mean like yeah no this is how we're doing it play play for us Frank's celebration play it

no KSI that what it is KSI I don't know that's what they're always playing yeah I can't even stop oh wow my doorbell

that is got to be Scott and Isaac bring them on hang tight all right what do you think they're going to say they're going to have a greeting of some sort oh I don't know

let's listen Scott might hit the... Turn up on. Husky-poo! Come on. Let's get the stairs. You have to take this. It's.

It's brings it up the chairs. So, I don't... I only have one set of headphones, and I only have one microphone. So... Be invanitos, dudes. That's okay. Welcome.

We'll just look. What's up, boys? Oh, Timon. Timon and Pumba here. Can you hear me? Sorry for crashing this. It also started to really... Housekeeping.

Horskii. Scott, move a little bit over. Move it to your left, Scotty. Oh, there you go. You guys look great. You guys look tired from walking. We made it, baby. How was it?

We did just have to go up seven flights of stairs because the elevator didn't work for our car. You got talking to the bike. Sorry. No, we heard it. We heard. Apparently, you can only access your floor at this hotel. So we just took seven flights of stairs to get up here.

Wow. Oh, because you're not on this, your room is not here. here? We're on 14. Jake's on 21. Elevator doesn't let us on 21. Must be nice for Jake, you know. 21. Privacy. He's on a secluded floor. With a doorbell. Oh, welcome. You guys are really roughly hustled. We hustled, baby. We were going to get here. PPA.H, I'm excited to see us. You didn't even touch me. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Touch them in. All right, well, Scott, I told them a little bit.

You're not only making your first pro appearance, but it's on championship court in Malaysia, you know, 10 hours after you got here. How you feeling? Excited. Very excited, actually. Isaac had duper stocked these guys, though. There are a 4-9 and a 4-3, so pretty much we got to win 11-0-11-0 if we don't want to kill Kyle's dooper. So explain that a little bit. I don't really know if this audience is going to like relate to anything you just said. This is like a comedy. This is a Friday group. They know doper. Ghosties no duper. Yeah. No, I'm excited. I think we got here. Like, everything went off and out of hitch. I think we're going to get more sleep than I was expecting. I was expecting like six hours. I might get like eight. You seem pretty tired now, so yeah, you should get some. Yeah. Yeah, I just got my stair workout in. But no, I'm excited. It's going to be a lot of fun. Looking forward to it. Good, buddy. What kind of outfit you rocking for tomorrow?

What kind of what? Outfit. Oh, I don't know. I need to ask Kyle what he thinks. He's kind of a black, black, or a black white guy. How do you feel about that? You need a little bit, Claire. Yeah. Yeah, we'll have to coordinate. I don't know if he wants me to get too crazy with colors. Some pink shoes or anything?

I got Friday shoes. Maroon? And silver shoes. Yeah. No big colors. Silver shoes? Yeah. Silver gray?

Like shiny? No. Oh, okay. Like gray silver color. That's just gray then. Silver's like shiny. I should get some shiny ones. All right.

Well, I'm excited to hear all about it. We're going to record plenty. Well, I guess maybe not with them because you're going to be home, Jake, right? We're going to get more updates from them. Yeah, I think this is my only episode to record in Malaysia. What a wild sentence, just in general. That's the only one I'm doing in Malaysia. You know why it's so quiet?

It is really quiet on your speakers. It's too bad. Headphones are great. You want me to yell? That's better. Louder. All right. All right.

flights flight's good yeah everything went off without a hitch uh isaac found us a pretty solid seat upgrade on our long flight to south korea so we sat in like what was it called premium select select or something okay okay two good words good but still not business class i told him i told him you got pretty excited when matt mentioned that yeah that's pretty because you walk on a plane and you just look at the business class folks and you've never felt more poor in your life it's like wow that guy's about like matt said he slay for seven hours on his flight. I was like, I could never sleep for seven hours on a plane. Yeah, you're not a sleeper on the plane. Did you get any? No. No. Did you try. Do you use

performance enhancing sleep medicine? I didn't use any performance enhancing sleep medicines, no. Okay. I think you should try it. You should get a little tone in, little, little quill. Isaac had a good chunk on our flight to South Korea. Good chunk. Good chunk. I bit off a chunk. Yeah. I will say our flight from South Korea. Korea to Malaysia, I literally couldn't stay awake. Like, it was insane. I think I took, I was like microdosing naps. Took like six different power naps on that flight. It was crazy. Microdosing naps is a good phrase. Do you think you'll be nervous tomorrow? I've been doing the little mindset training that Kyle has on his school. And I've been really

trying to work on the mental game because I was like, this is a big moment to prepare for. So I feel good, though. I'm sure I'll wake up nervous. I'll wake up with the, with the butterflies and the tummy but it'll be fun what are what's the mindset training like what does that mean he has like a three week course on his school that just goes through a different topic each day about just different like mindset mindset tips and techniques and stuff and it's actually like really good brad you know you know you know you know my mental game is not my strength so never has it's been helpful scott peck school of layups is what we used to call it is like scott scott scott used to know how to get to the basket like anybody the best of them and just never made a layup in his entire life

Don't give me a fast break layup. I will find a way to miss that. Scott Peck School Layup. Okay, so, like, what is, give me an example of, like, something you're telling yourself or, like, how are you somehow mindset shifted? Like, a couple things is, like, after you mess up, like, this isn't, like, groundbreaking stuff, but it's like, after you mess up, like, what I'm focused on is, like, hitting the best version of my next shot. So if, like, if I'm the one returning the serve, as soon as I mess up, I'm like, okay, I'm going to hit the best return of serve I can right now.

Got it. And like don't focus on the mistake I just made and don't let it snowball and then just hit like a really good next shot. And then the next one, yeah. The other one is a quote from Roger Federer where it's like you don't have to win every point. You just have to win the right ones. So it's good. Win the right points. Okay.

That's good. What about you miss 100% of the shots you don't dink? Yeah, that's a good quote too. Wayne Gretzky slash Michael Scott. I was talking to Kyle today and we were talking about, you know, I wonder if Scott's going to be nervous and how the everything is going to go. And he goes, I wonder if the best thing I could do to start off the day would be to miss the first four shots. It just makes Scott feel more comfortable by making errors.

I go, well, then what if Scott misses the next four shots? And now you're down zero to eight. Is that the best strategy? Maybe only miss them when you're serving. Yeah. No, I would. There you go. I would prefer him not to start off like that.

I would like him to start off on an absolute heater. that would make me feel really good. There is something about like when you feel the responsibility though of your team, like you have to be the better one, like that you play better. So maybe maybe he and I are both in difficult situations where it's like he might feel like he has to pick up slack on my end. And I feel like I have to, you know, perform out of my mind to not let him down. So I think, but I think we both understand each other and we both know we're going to go

out there and do our best and see what happens. So what city are you in right now? Kuala Lumpur? Yes. Okay. We're in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. Don't, okay. I don't think, yeah.

Don't get technical on it. Well, technically we're out of the... You know what that is, Brad? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so Kuala Lumpur. Let's think of a good nickname for Scott for the Kuala Lumpur. Kuala bear. Kuala bear.

Just like just kind of grer. time. Quala Limpore. Kuala is the other side of the pillow? Yep, not terrible. Squalalal Lumpak. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's it. Squalal Limpac.

That's perfect. Yes. That's it. You need to, you say, do you know who I am? At one point, at one point, you need to say something, you need to say, do you know who I am? Or you need to do that Paul Pierce thing where he goes, that's why they brought me here. That's why they brought me here. here. That's why I'm here. Okay? At some point I have to quote that on court. You have to

my opponents that may or may not speak English. No, no, you quote it to the crowd. That's why they brought me here. That's why I'm here. Business class, boy. Business class. BCB. Yeah. Bcc Bc Bc Bc. Do you think you'll get loud at any point tomorrow? Yeah. I could get fired up. I can't wait. I think it's going to be in a fun, like, performing. I know you guys are going to be there watching and you guys will be laughing the whole time. And I'm on court with Kyle. So it's not going to be like anything where I like scream and then I like look over you. And you know, I'm just like,

I'm like, I'm like, stand down my opponents or something. It's like, what's the worst that could happen if you did that? I don't know. You do it, dude. But I'm going to bring some energy.

You got to have energy, dude. Center court with my boy. Come on. That's right. That's why they brought me here. That's why they brought me here. Please give me that sound bite. I need that.

I need that clip. I need that footage. I'll find whatever camera is streaming and look right into that camera and say, Brad. That's why they brought me here. That's why I'm here. Oh, my. Awesome. Love it, bro.

I think tomorrow maybe we're like commentating. We're miced up. Yeah. You got to watch. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe one of you's miced up and one of you just gives your mic to the other guy that just breeze heavy.

Yeah, I have to tell you a story. Yeah. That's inside jokes, Guy. You wouldn't understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you guys were here in Malaysia. Never mind. Sorry.

Qualimperfectly. Qualimperfectly. When you guys were in Malaysia last time, did they ever do any events where they gave you like a Britney Spears mic while you were playing? They didn't. We did? I don't remember that. This is like the ring it up thing. We didn't say that.

Did you get a gun? Yeah. They're a game. but I Kyle and I did an exhibition where they didn't want me and Kyle to have the mics they wanted one of the other guys to have the mics and he just like did like a Wim Hof breathing exercise for 15 minutes straight he didn't really speak English he just did box breathing yeah it was sick oh scotty uh I have one story um yeah it's worth it's worth telling now uh just because scott cares about soccer more than the rest of us um it's cool no matter what I think but it's especially cool if you care about soccer um so if you guys don't know we're

Cup's coming to Kansas City. And this guy, I just recently got this Airbnb I'm working on. And I did a hot tub in there. I think I told you that. And the guy that sold me the hot tub is a guy from my church. And I was like, talking to him later, I was like, it'd be cool to have a hot tub and a cold plunge. Do you like a contrast therapy in this thing?

Do you guys also sell cold plunges? He's like, we do. And he's like, and I think I could get you a really good deal on one. I was like, okay, tell me more about this. he's like yeah right after i'm meeting with you today i'm going to i'm going downtown to meet with the argentinian uh soccer team um to sell them multiple cold plunges and maybe a hot tub as well for their hotel that they're staying in for the world cup and he said but when they're done with them they're just going to leave them and we're just going to go pick them up and so he's like so

the only stipulation is that you would probably have a cold plunge that was used by leonel messy, but that's the only, like, it's like, it's like very slightly used for a couple weeks. I was like, by messy? Like, I mean, who knows? Who knows, obviously, if he's going to be like the specific one, but it'd be a pretty cool story to be like, you know, Messi's been in this thing. Dude, that's got to go on the Airbnb listing for sure. I know, right?

As the principal title, like Airbnb Lionel Messi cold plunge. Like Sidney's Sweeney sold her bathwater. We're selling Lionel Messi's cold plunge. Messy sold his cold plunge water. I didn't hear any of that whole story except for the very last part. And it was Brad saying Sidney's Sweetie sold her bathwater. Isaac here, Sidney's Sweetie of bathwater. He sits up real quick.

What you said? Isn't that kind of crazy though? Like, I mean, it'd be a pretty cool. Pretty cool story. Like, I don't know. Do you think he's, he's arguably the best, right? In history? I don't know.

I don't know enough. But like, yeah, he's the best of all time. Okay. And it'd be like, yeah, more than likely he probably used this. That'd be pretty cool. So. That's incredible. Anyway.

This is my podcast. Always, always. Scott needed this. He was falling asleep an hour ago on the plane. And he ran up here and he's been chopping it up since. He has to show. Scott's doing his thing. I know.

You guys are probably so tired, man. I do need to go to bed, though. Get some, get some. Yeah, but hey, if you guys are here This is gonna be so fun We're back This is gonna be so fun We're back, baby

I'm so glad you guys are here Bradley, love you We've had a blast Love you buddy I'm on, love you Love you too Don't blow it Scott Don't blow it

Don't blow it Don't blow it You know why I'm here That's what they brought me here That's why I'm here I'm right here Yeah I'm here

Yeah just do all like Just do every single tagline From like Us famous like You know athlete That they don't know about Because it's American Like, do anything is possible?

All those things. Did you hear all that? Sorry, a bit of a transition phase there. Was it good? I just like the idea of him stealing every line from like every American sports like icon that they don't know about, you know? Do you believe in miracles? Huh? I don't believe what I just saw.

You know, just. You know, it's funny. I was just thinking about, do you remember the movie Dodgeball back in the day? Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's towards the end of that movie that instead of saying, do you believe in miracles that you know they come back and win? And he goes, do you believe in unlikelyhood? That's good. Love it, dude.

All right. Anything else you want to say here, Jake, before we wrap up this Malaysian episode? See you, boys. We'll make a plan. Let's get breakfast in the morning or something. I'll text you guys. All right. Sounds good, man.

We will. I'm just kidding. Sorry, yeah, it's kind of funny. It's like, oh, I haven't seen you in forever. But I'm also doing a podcast right now, so I don't know. It was interesting also, once you take the headphone cord out, I think to like not get any like, what would it? Feedback.

Noise bleed. It turned, even at full volume. It's so low. I wonder. We could get better here. Yeah. All good. All good, baby.

We did it in. Keep it all in. It's fun to see. Yeah, no. I still got plenty more stuff written down. but we got a lot more podcasting to do in the next like a week basically so I'll save some good stuff for then did you hear that you heard the news about Hawaiian Bros that's the only thing

You were beatboxing pretty hard, using a lot of breath right there. Yeah, maybe that was just a lot of blow was in and out.

That's fun. Anyway, thanks for meeting with us, Jackie. Love you, man. Hope you have a great rest of your time and the Jens, Malaysians. Thanks, dude. Love you too. For being direct opposite sides of the earth. This wasn't too bad to make it work.

Yeah. It was pretty bad. Oh, it wasn't bad for you? I'll say this. I had to come in at 9 a.m. on a weekday to work. Ech. Cheesh. Whatever Rachel made for breakfast today,

smells pretty good here. Could it be the coffee beans from the last time you're in that room? Did it smell for a while? I guess you left right after. Yeah, I left the very next day, so I guess I don't really know. I smelled it on my hands. Like, I washed my hands five times,

and I still smelled it like that night. Like, yeah. It was, it was, it was, um, yes. Uh, no, it, it, it smells like, it kind of smells like what you make that, like, kind of sweet sausagey stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Nothing. It's not working. It's not. What is? What is it, what is the word bank of gestures that are possible? It didn't, it looked like it was like, you click on something and you can figure this out later. I don't know. Maybe?

Yeah, you've tried everything. Yeah, I think it'll probably work, like, in post. You look like, like, I haven't seen Marvel movies, but you look like what I think Dr. Strange looks like when he's, when he's like summoning something. Totally, Jake, right? Right.
