Yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Where are you at?
Dude, I am sitting on a bed right now.
Captain's like, where are you going to record this?
I was like, I don't know, just in our room.
She's like, you're going to sit on a bed that's weird.
I'm like, where else do you want to go?
You want me to lay on the bed?
I can.
I can do whatever you want, maybe.
Jake said, should I lay on the bed?
What do you think, Hattie?
Hattie's here with me.
Say hi, Hattie.
Wow, she is right there.
She's right there.
we're kind of in the point of the trip right now where you know emotions are a little high
haddy woke up at three o'clock because she couldn't sleep very well you know we're just struggling a little bit
so i said hadie do you want just come up here and just record with me so she might just be here
a little innocent bystander here a little bit and just hanging out that's nice um i am innocent
he is innocent yeah it wasn't she had a she had a little bit of a breakdown earlier she's like i don't
i'm trying to be the leader but no one else is to be the
a leader with me and I just can't do it.
I just don't. How about you just
go up here with me? So it's kind of funny.
It's like ironically like a massive
house but there's not really a great
spot to get away. I was like I think
if we record now, I don't have to be very
quiet because most of the people are out
of the house. There's no nappers right now.
You know, but it's anyway.
So we're doing it baby. We're here.
If you want to yourself, you have to like go
in the ocean. Truly.
You have to go to town. That's the trick.
It's like, hey, anybody need anything? I need
go get something. So Brooks has gone into town a few times. Brooks is the
Brooks is the one, you know, there's, there's two of them that don't have kids. And
Brooks is like, I'll gladly go run some errands real quick, you know, to get away from these
12 kids. I can get it. I can get it. I can get it. We need some bags. Yeah. No, we have
zip up. They don't, they don't zip up very well. Trust me. Just we need more. No, I mean,
you never want to run out. I'll go get some. Just in case. Yeah. We've, yeah, we're running
low. No, we just got some yesterday. No, it's fine. So, uh, we're here. We're doing it. Uh,
Everyone's sunburned.
You think that we'd never been to the beach before in our lives because, I mean, yeah, there's just,
and that just heightens every, every emotion, right, Hattie?
I have one on my forehead and one on my leg and one on my armpit.
But the one on my armpit isn't as bad as the ones on my legs and forehead.
Yeah, yeah.
So everyone's just kind of feeling a little bit.
Bow is just like, a tomato.
It's like, oh, sorry, buddy.
The first day was like, it was like 78 degrees.
It deceived us.
I mean, it was like such a beautiful day, but that sun still rocks.
So anyway, we're doing a way of describing sunburn.
Like they're like individual units of burn.
I've got one armpit, one forearm, one back.
Yeah, I call this one, you know, Jehosephat.
This, you know, whatever.
Anyway, so how are you doing?
What, you're home?
I'm home.
I hung up for those watching are a little t-shirt.
I really decorated the set.
I'm back in the guest.
Yeah.
guest bedroom and yeah i got back late i guess not late last night but um i spent all day yesterday
i think it was 26 hours of travel yesterday and got back at the airport at 7 p.m landed
got home just in time for the tornado i was like of course that's all that happens in this town
you're like i'm getting out of here really yeah so what ended up happening i don't know i knew
that there was like uh potential imminent stuff but like did it did we have some like sirens or anything
go off dude i'll tell you what we had is a new kind of siren via phone so you've heard you know
we've all had like the crazy amber alert vibration where it's like a really intense vibration
um is that the right word i'm trying to say yeah yeah your phone vibrates um and i've had that for
like severe weather where like you get an alert your phone vibrates last night me and rachel's phone
both made noise because of a thunderstorm i don't think i've ever had that
happened before really a new noise it didn't sound like an apple noise oh I think that
happens every time to me to me for me yeah yeah it's like kind of a scary
noise that's the one that woke me up that one time to be like everyone get out of bed
both stop falling back to sleep let's get downstairs yeah that happens amber
alerts and everything I don't know huh huh I've always been vibrate only maybe maybe
you had like like an option before and now Apple's like no no no it's time
to throw everybody into the crazy noise.
Maybe.
So yeah, I've been home like 30 minutes and got this big alert, like severe thunderstorm
morning.
It wasn't even a tornado.
It was just like this storm is coming through and it's going to be really windy when
it gets here.
Okay.
It's kind of fun.
I mean, it went from just like completely still outside to then just like tree branches
everywhere.
It was kind of like what I imagine a hurricane is like.
Okay.
Was there some cartage this morning?
Like, did you drive around?
Yeah.
Yeah.
First meal back in America.
You already know I went to Chick-fil-A breakfast.
Of course.
And it took the long way to see like trees down.
The neighborhoods, yeah.
Yeah, good carnage.
And it was pretty bad.
Yeah.
Bummer.
I mean, bummer, I guess.
I don't know.
It's like one of those times where it's like, it's pretty nice here.
But apparently they got stores back home, you know.
So.
Yeah, I went outside today and just this.
I mean, a T-shirt and shorts, not even underwear.
I mean, I'm barely wearing anything.
I'm in my Malaysia outfit.
And it's like 51 degrees.
So there's nothing but the extremes, basically.
I would kill for a 74 degree sunburn day.
Yeah, dude.
Oh, it's, it's a, yeah, it's a beautiful time here.
I mean, obviously we're going back to Gold Shores that goes to get away in August.
August is a little hotter than May, turns out.
But also it's like, yeah, it's just perfect here right now.
So, yeah, anyway, we're having a good time, right, Hetty?
Yeah, we're just chilling.
Has Haddy been doing a lot of people here?
You've been mapped tapping?
Yep.
Have you done it recently?
Nope.
Have you done it yet today, Jake?
Dude, I'm kind of on a hot streak.
I went to Asia and I'm like, I'm in the 900's like five straight days.
Jake's gotten in the 900's five straight days, you just said.
I will say they've stopped asking for random cities in China.
I don't think I'm getting smarter.
I think the game is getting easier.
Oh.
Like four of the five questions are like in, you know, North or South America.
It's pretty easy.
Here, Hattie, you want to do it today?
You want to do it right now?
Yeah.
All right, she's going for it.
Have you done it yet, Jake?
Yeah.
Yeah.
On the way of Chick-fil-A, probably.
All right, first one, what's the first one, hat?
Was France, right?
Yes, little France.
I don't think I read it right.
But I got 95.
Hey, I got 95.
This is great.
This is a fun competition.
Samson Turkey.
Turkey.
Turkey?
And I got 95 again.
I got 95.
I'm not even kidding.
Jake got 95 on both those two.
She can't hear of yourself.
Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico.
Ooh, do you know Puerto Rico?
Yep.
Okay.
Dang it.
The nice thing about the Little Islands is you know we're going to get a lot.
99.
99.
Come on, Eddie.
I am.
I am.
Vietnam.
Oh, Vietnam.
You know Vietnam?
Yep.
Yep.
I accidentally typed the wrong country, but I still got 95.
Okay.
Dang.
All right.
I need her to lose this last one.
You need to have a bad one on this one or else you're going to beat Mr. Jake.
He says.
Oh, I don't know this one.
Oh, yeah.
It's Liberville Gabon.
Oh.
Gabon.
I have no idea where that is.
Gabon.
That sounds African.
I don't know, though.
Honestly.
I don't know.
I see her figure. She's really scrolling. She's going through the whole globe a couple times.
She's taking the refrigerator again. Maybe there's another snack in there.
Yeah, I'm going to do Africa.
Come on.
Hey. Oh, what?
Pretty good. That's a good guess. What was your final score?
I'm looking 937.
She beat me. We also got the exact same score on like four of those. I got an 88 on the last one.
Really? Wow.
I can go now. I would get 400 probably. I'm so bad.
at that.
Don't look at the words.
Okay, I won't do it right now, but good job, hat.
Dang.
Way to be.
That's a, that's a good guess.
88 on your one that you had no idea.
In all of Africa.
Yeah, really.
Anyway.
Do you know Vietnam?
Yep.
Yep.
Puerto Rico was one that I didn't know she knew, so.
Yeah, I knew Puerto Rico.
You knew it.
You nailed it.
All right.
What do you want to, what are you want to talk about first?
You want to talk about Malaysia?
You want to talk about, well, yeah, what do you want to talk about?
Dude, I got a, I got a million things written down to talk about, which is fun.
Which is also nice, because we have to record again soon.
So playing the hopper.
Yeah.
Yeah. So I didn't realize Timon wasn't going to be here.
I was like, time and fill the space.
I can't keep track of anything these days.
Yeah, timing is in Georgia.
The country or the state?
I think the Republic of Georgia as a state.
Yes, the SEC Republic of Georgia.
Georgia. Okay. And I think this is a church trip, but I could be wrong. I can't remember.
I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, he's back home for a little bit. And then he's
Jamaica and then. Jamaican, man. Ohio. Will he come back with cornrows? Will one of them come back?
Jesse. Will Jesse come back with Corne? I can see Jesse being like, yeah, I'll get him. Yeah.
Maybe, maybe timing, but definitely Jesse. It'd be like Jesse's got longer hair for it. Um,
Anyway, oh yeah, okay, so tell me, tell me what you want to tell me.
I want to hear all about what's been going on.
I wrote a list and we'll just see where this list takes us.
Okay.
It seems like a nice way to start talking about the trip.
So I wrote down yesterday in the airport on my way back.
These are the eight things I'm thankful that America has.
Okay.
Couldn't get to 10.
Really couldn't get to eight.
Top eight, top eight.
I didn't want to stretch it.
I want to force it.
I like it.
These were just like very easy.
like I'm back in like an American airport and just like suddenly like all these things come like flooding to me.
I'm like, all right. Let me speak to a primarily American audience and let them be grateful for some of the things we have here.
Number one, trash cans.
Okay.
It is so easy to find a trash can in America and you don't realize that until you're anywhere else.
Really?
Southeast Asia. Yeah.
They're very like stingy on their trash cans.
Oh, yeah.
Couldn't find garbage anywhere.
We're talking like basically no public trash cans or like is it mainly like private like if you go somewhere they have a trash can inside but not.
Yeah, I would say just like public trash cans.
I mean like in a restaurant and I there's just no there's no trash can in a restaurant.
You're walking through an airport and it's kind of crazy how far you go before you find a trash can or you're in a mall and you can't find a trash can.
It's just I don't know if it's a staffing issue.
I don't know what the problem is.
but it's so nice to be back in America
because as it turns out,
you have a lot of trash it throw away.
Yeah, would that incentivize you?
I don't think that,
I don't think that's doing the right thing.
Like if it's incentivizing you not to have trash,
it's like, no, they're going to have trash.
They're just going to throw it somewhere besides the trash can.
Maybe.
They're incentivizing literization.
A literization.
That's so funny because just the other day at the airport,
we got through security in no seconds flat, two minutes.
I mean, just a great, great experience at the airport.
So we had plenty of time to wait.
we're just sitting there and I told Rosie like hey go throw something away in the trash can
and I said like kind of to your point I was like you can go to that trash can or I see three other
trash cans that you can also take it too like there were so many trash cans it's pretty nice and every
single time I ever like a habit I have every time I get out of my car to go into any store there's
always a trash can outside and I always bring my trash while just gathering a few cups yeah throw it in
the trash so um oh wow
This is a great text we discussed.
We just got a text from one of our friends, Mr. Caleb.
You remember Mr. Caleb?
He's the one that gave you the walkie-talkies.
He got a pretty good score on MapTap until the very end.
He got 15 for Gabon.
His final score is 567.
Whoops.
What are you going to say to that?
I don't know.
I was lucky.
You were lucky.
Yeah, you were lucky.
Good.
Humble.
Anyway, okay.
So trash cans is just like, we need to be grateful for our trash.
Yes.
I'm grateful for trash cans.
Do we feel like the whole landfill, recycle, compost thing is doing what it's supposed to be doing at all?
I would need to see it to believe it.
I'm a doubt.
I mean, I just think when in doubt, I just throw in landfill.
Let's be real.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, unless it's like, I know, I know this plastic is supposed to be recycled.
Like, I don't know.
Anytime I'm just like, I don't know, I'll just go into the one that's easy to fit through.
The landfill one is bigger and badder, you know?
Like, like, unless it's, yeah, unless it's like a plastic cup, I'm like, I'll just go landfill on this.
I would say one of the more illegal things that I, whoa, you're hearing that?
I think it's my headphones issue.
One of the more illegal things that I do on a regular basis is I will take some overflow trash and throw it in my recycling bin that gets picked up every Wednesday.
you're one of those because there's no repercussions and that makes me not believe in the system no one's checking this that's fair i mean somebody's gonna get fired up about that but like the whole point of a recycling bin is so you can just have more room for all your trash that's all it is that's all it is it's like we're fine um yeah that's fair i i've never done that define recyclable do oh you can't recycle this
Try harder.
Catherine, yeah.
Sounds like you don't want it bad enough.
Figure it out.
Yeah.
Catherine did not grow up with a recycling bit, I don't think.
And so she is very hazy about what's recyclable.
Like she'll throw stuff in there.
I'm like, Catherine, styrofoam is not recyclable, I don't think.
And I say you got to want it.
You got to want it bad enough to recycle styrofoam.
Yeah.
I got extra lithium batteries.
Figure it out.
That's funny.
I almost do the opposite where if I can't fit it all in the recycling bin, I just throw
it in the trash.
And I say, that's your fault for not giving me a big.
enough bin.
I do.
I'm kind of like,
recyclable things.
I'm kind of like sticking.
I mean,
it's like,
well,
it's not fitting.
And it only,
ours only comes every two weeks,
which is so dumb.
It fires me up to no end.
It's like,
just give me a smaller recycling bin that I can only have once.
Anyway,
odd to say,
like the,
um,
the like,
uh,
almost like the dry ice slips that come in good ranchers boxes.
Yep.
Those seem.
That's getting recycled.
They can figure it out.
Right? It's ice.
Yeah.
I think that's okay.
But styrofoam, Jake, don't throw the styrofoam in there.
That's not even close to plastic.
I think there's got to be a way.
You can turn that in as something.
Either way, you probably shouldn't be melting it.
So maybe it is a good thing to throw in there.
But like, I don't know.
And styrofoam is you can't break it down at all.
Oh, man.
Anyway.
So I'll have to say, we're grateful for trash cans.
Grateful for trash.
Second thing that I'm thankful for is,
just drinking water.
You know, it's one of the four
pillars of life that they say society needs.
What are the other three?
Food, water, shelter.
Yeah.
Food water shelter and
food water shelter and water.
I don't know why.
I thought there's four.
Air, good air.
Food water shelter.
Air.
Yeah.
You need air.
I promise you need air.
White blood cells.
Yep.
And community, I think.
Those are the four.
You know what I don't know anything about.
What's a stem cell, dude?
Can you just give me that real quick?
You're going to learn that next year?
Yeah, because mom says the next year in CC and science,
we're learning about the human body,
so maybe I'll know whatever it's called is.
Stim cell?
Yeah.
Let's be honest.
Like the other day, one of my brother-in-laws is having all these back issues,
and he's like, yeah, I think I might get surgery.
And then my father-in-law is like,
you know, you could do this thing where you get this stem cell procedure,
and they talked about it.
Like everyone knew what stem cells was.
And I just, I wasn't ready for it at the time.
I was like, I don't want to, I don't want to know right now.
But someday, but in my knowledge, I was like, I should probably learn about that.
People are talking about that a lot.
I'm with you.
I'm not prepared for a stem cell conversation.
Me neither.
I could say to things that would get us off track the stem cell conversation that are loosely adjacent,
but I can't stay on still in itself.
Yeah.
Like, I remember watching some Netflix documentary called like Bad Doctor or something.
and it was like supposedly one of the best surgeons in the whole world.
He could take a, he could take like a pig aorta and put it in humans as like their windpipe and he was using stem cells.
And it was just like PVC pipe and every one of them died eventually.
So that's what I would contrue to the stem cell conversation.
I'd say don't do that.
And then you, yeah, you get off topic enough to where it's like, we're good.
Now we're not talking about stim cells anymore.
Now we're talking about pigs.
Now I could thrive.
Now we're having a medical malpractice conversation, which is where I feel much more comfortable.
I've listened to some podcasts, watched some documentaries, grew up on a farm, I got some stuff to talk about here.
I feel like when we were in like middle school, high school, stem cells got invented.
I want to say they came out then.
Sure seems like it.
Yeah.
And it was like a, maybe a pro-life conversation back in the day.
Okay.
Once again, that's all I have to contribute, though.
Okay, fair enough.
So I don't know anything.
Okay, great.
Somebody will teach us something.
And then somebody else would be like,
actually that's not it at all.
But this is a great,
ask the doctor thing.
We could call Gilbert next time.
I am with you, though.
Food, water, shelter, stem cells.
Sure seems like it.
Big four.
Water, liquid gas,
stem cell.
Yeah.
It all comes back to stem cells.
It's plasma.
Okay.
So,
just drinking water.
Drinking water.
Yeah.
I mean,
I didn't even know this until truly,
I got all the way to the Philippines.
So this is like day seven.
and then people are telling me like oh yeah don't drink the water here well it's the same as in
Malaysia and I go we weren't we weren't supposed to be drinking the water in Malaysia that would
explain a bathroom visit on night three okay I didn't know that took a while for it to get through
you oh no but at the same time it's like it wasn't accessible um anyway uh we went to a restaurant
and I ordered water and they said we're sold out what all right that was a restaurant in the
You're sold out of water.
That was like a very like westernized like nice looking place.
Oh, we're sold out.
So what you end up getting?
You just got a Coke Cola or something?
So it's a lot of juice there.
On one end, like you spent a couple days in Southeast Asia and you're like, how would
anyone ever be overweight here?
You just sweat constantly.
You know, it's like this has got to be.
You just burn calories constantly.
But then on the other end, it's like no one drinks water.
All you drink is just like sugary, juicy liquids.
So I assume it just equals itself out.
So yeah, I mean, it's just orange juice and apple juice and Coke zero is like what I had for the last 10 days.
Sounds all right to me.
That'd be tough though if you're trying to sweat out and play a bunch of pickleball and you're just like not hydrated.
Oh yeah.
I get some water like no.
Maybe tomorrow they'll have some more.
Sold out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I put like an element like I put electrolytes in an orange juice.
Not as good as you think.
It's too much.
Dude, you know what is good though is throwing some electrolytes in a spark.
Like a lochroy or something.
Oh, that's a great idea.
Yeah.
It like amplifies the flavor of lochroi and, you know, and just, yeah, the element or whatever, re-light, whatever, smells, smells, tastes good.
So.
And maybe I should have liked.
Hattie's liking that.
Look at her.
He's ready for it.
Look at the lips.
We talking relight?
We talking relight?
Oh, man.
Hattie, which companies sponsor the podcast?
Do you know?
Hattie, which companies, do you know which company's sponsor the podcast?
Good ranchers, cozy earth, main street roosters, that's all.
Wow.
That is all.
That's my girl right there.

Yes.
Uh, presented by
Liquid sponsor.
Yes, Main Street Roasters.
The best coffee in the world.
I looked it up.
Jake's been to all of the world.
Haddy could tap all around the world.
Haddy, can you tap, can you tap a spot that has better coffee than Main Street Roasters?
No.
Good answer.
I said, yeah.
You should have said yes.
She said, no.
You should have said no.
Mainsstere Roses is the best coffee around.
Let's just be real.
I didn't bring my mainstream roasters with me.
I do regret it.
Yep.
That's all I'm going to say.

That's right.
Unlike our second night there,
this is before Scott and Isaac even came,
but some locals wanted to take me,
Kyle and Ashley, out to dinner.
And so we ordered water.
And it came out just short of like boiling hot.
It was like hot to the touch to touch your glass.
It's really,
it's interesting.
And so,
And then now in hindsight, I go, oh, they were like sterilizing it for us, I guess.
That's crazy.
But I didn't even put that together.
I was like, oh, different cultures, different strokes.
I don't know.
I'll take the apple juice on the side.
Wow.
It was like, it was like, it was like tea basically without the tea in it.
Like it was like, yeah.
It was like we were castaway.
And it's like, they good as we have fire.
Now we can, you know, boil the rainwater.
That's wild.
It didn't connect with you like that.
The hotel, you're like, man, I'm famished.
I'm going to put some.
They need to have.
like a list of like here's what you do if you're not from here you don't drink the water you know
like I feel like whenever you went on a mission trip it was always like yeah don't do this don't do
that like the dogs they're wild they're not they're not good like don't touch them
dude speaking of pet dogs I learned this I sat next to a uh Muslim one night at dinner and had just like
a great 15 minute conversation about Islam and if like you know you're kind of loosely aware of a
lot of different things and different religions you know yeah did you know that Muslim
Can't touch certain types of dogs and I'll let you guess which types of dogs they can and cannot touch.
Okay, Hattie. So he just said, Hattie know, Adi knows some things about Muslims. Do you know some things about Muslims?
Yeah, I guess. Do you know what types of dogs? Apparently they can't touch all types of dogs. Can you imagine a dog that they're not supposed to touch?
Nope. All right, cool. My guess is going to be
they can't touch
I don't know probably like
Dalmatians or something
like those things
like Dalmatians post spots
you know
like they can touch them
when they're first out
but like once they get the spots
they're like unclean
it's all about being clean right
it's like Heidi's sunburn
it's like I have one spot on my armpit
and one of my forehead
it's Dalmatian talk
I go Dalmatian
Great Danes
and just anything that's not
I think is scared
anything that's
It's not pure bread.
Anything that's like a made up word, a golden doodle, shish kebab, whatever they call them, like all those different things.
Shih Tzu, shit or no, like what are they called the Shiite.
Yeah, Shiites.
The Sunnis.
Shiitesu.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I don't know what.
Just big dogs.
Just in general.
Anything you're getting warmer.
It's a wet dog.
Really?
Yeah.
So you can.
cannot touch a a wet dog because it'll make you dirty um even if it's a dry dog you can't touch
the nose of the dog because the noses are wet i said what the dog is sick can't touch a wet dog
he said yeah what is it what if a dog is sick and his nose is dry anyway if you do touch a wet dog
you have to then wash your hands with kind of this like mud or sand i think i was understanding
that's interesting so like without knowing much about anything do we sometimes like get
wars with Muslims.
Like they're part of the people that we fight with sometimes.
Is that right?
I mean, yeah, like the whole like war in Afghanistan and everything.
So are we going about this thing all wrong?
Should we just, should we just get a huge tank?
A water tank of like just full of dogs.
This comes back to the Dalmatians because it's a fire.
It's a fire truck dog.
Yes, dude.
Why are we just, why are we just got, I mean, 300 dogs just running after them?
And they would just, they were just, they were just counting.
in a corner and then we just we just snip them down is that not is that not a good strategy are we
going about this all wrong did you say all that to this guy that you were friends with no i didn't
dude it's so funny like i think Asians like this is something i actually did now so i'm kind of
just like guessing but you know i think some of them want to take like an american name so they
just choose one at some point but you never know like you'll get ready to introduce yourself to
someone and it could be like like some people don't take an American sounding name so it's just kind of a
fun roll of the dice when you're like hey my name is Jake nice to meet you and their name could be like
pack pack or like Keith and they look exactly the same and it could just be like the two most different
names my favorite is when they don't I think we've talked about us before but like when they don't go for
like a normal name like Keith everyone's heard of Keith yeah every once in while it's like they find one on
page 87 of the American list of names. Oh yeah, uh, Melvin was a guy I met. I was like,
well, okay Melvin. Yeah. Big Melv. And I mean like what would how would they know? Like they would
never have any background to know one thing or the other on these things. So like why not? Just
just just shoot shoot from the hip. Go Melvin. What else I learned? That reminded me something else.
I was talking to this Australian guy who's like ethnically Chinese.
something like that.
Anyway, he was like,
yeah, you know, back home,
people call us bananas.
I was like, what?
He's like, because we're yellow on the outside,
white on the inside.
All right.
You said it.
That's kind of funny.
Yeah.
I like that.
I mean, yeah, as long as you don't get in trouble for it,
I would love to call you that.
Is that cool?
Yeah.
That's pretty funny.
Yeah, what am I allowed to say?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
What else?
Muslims drinking water.
Muslims can have four wives.
I didn't know they did polygamy.
Oh, they do it.
They got, but only they can't pet them if they're wet.
Really, they could have that many.
Okay.
But after that, it's ridiculous.
Well, that's why I wanted to ask, like, what's the difference in four and five?
What's the difference in three and four?
You know, like how do you decide?
How do you make the jump?
Like, because at first it's like you're playing, you know, zone defense.
And then it's like, oh, you're out, man, you know.
Yeah.
You know, people say that you got your hands full.
People say that about me with my kids.
Imagine if you had.
Imagine four wet wives.
Oh, Hattie, I'm glad that we have the headphones on right now.
These are Bose, uh, Yodo player headphones.
If you're curious.
Rock talk.
They're super dope.
Yeah.
Yoto.
Um, yo, that's right.
Um, okay.
What else are you grateful for?
Oh, yeah.
trash cans, drinking water.
Third would just be signage.
Just you don't notice it until it's gone.
Both hotels I stayed in Malaysia
were connected to massive malls,
which was awesome.
It is the ideal way to travel to countries like this.
Because if you ever, you know, you're running low on clothes.
If you just start, you need food late at night, early in the morning.
You know, it's just like, it's just so convenient.
Even if you just eat air conditioning,
Just like pop in there or like you need caffeine.
Like you could find what you need.
It's also just like, I want to get some souvenirs for Rachel or something.
You know, it's like malls are awesome.
And they're doing amazing in Asia.
Really?
Yeah.
Because in America, obviously, they're a dying breed.
Yeah.
But in Asia, they're doing just fine.
They're doing great.
The first mall hotel we stayed in in Kuala and Boar, they told me.
So it was like crazy.
I'm getting lost in there.
We all got, we all took turns getting lost at different times.
Matt set off the fire alarm at one point.
It was hilarious.
but that is
we were away from him
I don't know
we all got separated
and you know
we're texting like
I'm in this building
where are you
and we hear this fire alarm
goes off and Matt was like
that was me
amazing okay
but that was seven stories
and then a girl told me
that was the third biggest
mall in all of Asia
I was like
I might believe it
that was big
fast four a week later
there was some renovated
like commercial spots
in a mall
in the Philippines and our Uber driver there is telling us like this used to be the biggest mall in all of Asia
and then Dubai made a big one so now this is the second biggest mall in Asia I was like is it possible that I've been in two of the top three malls this week or is everyone kind of just say there is the biggest mall I don't know well yeah it's kind of like in America it's like you know there's more mathier than anywhere else yeah
there's more the malls here are bigger like I feel like that could be the case you've never seen a sunset so you've seen a koala and poor sunset
They were huge nonetheless, but, um, so I just spent a lot of time in like airports and malls and, um, even just like trying to find the restrooms in a restaurant.
It's just like, huh, no sign for this.
Really?
I just walk in around.
I'm like at a corn maze.
You just have to be intuitive of like, just follow the left wall and eventually I will end up in a bathroom.
It was underneath the bar.
Okay.
Very good.
It's like some stairs down there.
Um, uh, interesting.
Yeah.
because obviously like signage is great signage had had he was like what signage signage is just like signs that show you where things are
elevator is here stairs here exit here yeah you're the elevators right um even it's like airport it's like u.s passport this way i landed in
Seattle and it was so easy to know where to go right I've been missing this baggage claim this way
you have no doubt like ride share this way yeah that's so so real okay okay
And you don't think it's just because you don't speak the language that there's there's all these signs.
They just have them in different languages.
No, they're in English too.
What if that was it?
It's like, I think I'm just thankful for English.
They were in English though, like the signs if you saw them.
Yeah, there's a lot of English in both the cities were in Kuala and Manila.
Do other countries just think that's not fair?
Like, I do wonder what they think of it because it is so convenient for us to go to them.
Like how I understand we have a global influence.
on the world.
But the population of America is not the biggest population.
Yeah, true.
And yet everywhere we go, it's like, let's cater to these people.
I know.
Thank goodness we have like good movies and music or else this maybe would not happen.
Seriously.
Yeah, I, it's just, it's awesome the way other countries do their, you know, early, like
childhood development because they all know three languages.
In Malaysia, they all know multiple.
And it's like, well, I'm fluent in three.
I can kind of speak Mandarin.
I can kind of speak Indonesian.
It's like,
so you know like five languages,
you know?
Really?
It's kind of fun.
I've heard,
and fact check me on this ghosties,
but I've heard that Indonesian
is a very easy language to learn.
I don't know.
I mean,
and by fact check me,
I mean,
give me a real life,
you know,
anecdote one way or the other.
But I've heard that it's like,
as far as languages go,
there's not that many letters in it,
maybe, or not that many words.
I don't know what it is.
Hmm.
But I had a friend who was a mission,
over there and he's like you can learn it within like a couple months wow but who knows if that's
real or not compared to like Mandarin that I've heard he's like very hard to like learn because it's all
tonal and all that stuff yeah so that's name speaking of movies and like whatever I uh I've learned
that Hispanic people don't know who Brad Pitt is because really what one of my big like uh you know
jokes to help people remember my name is I'm like
I'm Brad, just like Brad Pitt, and people say we look alike.
You know, and I, every time I've said that to a Hispanic person, they're like, who's Brad Pitt?
I'm like, all right, we'll talk later.
You know, like, none of them know who he is.
Bradley Cooper.
Yeah.
Oh, I should.
I should try Bradley Cooper.
That's not terrible.
You know, maybe they're a hangover fans.
Limitless.
You've seen Limitles?
I downloaded that for, on my iPad.
Didn't end up watching it.
But it was a backup option.
Yeah, that's good.
Dude, I did watch the Truman Show yesterday for the first time.
And? It's great.
Yeah.
It's an awesome movie.
Yeah, tell me more about your reactions to it.
I've only seen it once, I think.
It's hard these days for me to watch a movie and not have internet access,
because I want to Google everything.
I want to Google who that wife is, why she looks familiar.
All right, his best friend, Marlon, he looks familiar.
What's he from?
Where have I seen him from?
What year did this come out?
You know, I was running.
everything.
Yeah, just watch it on a plane by myself.
It was great.
I love the movie.
Yeah, what else did you end up?
Oh, you said all the games were pretty much like, you know, kind of duds because
you need the internet for most of them.
Yep.
My one solace was a little game called Blune's Tower Defense.
I had that.
I remember Blune's Tower Defense.
That's a good one, dude.
You can play that one on airplane mode.
So I had that.
And I had movies.
and I had sleep so it was fine how did it go yeah you you flew from where to where um yesterday
was manila to Tokyo to Seattle to Kansas City wow okay Tokyo that's fun first time oh
I think so I think first time that airport for some reason I think it because of rush hour but
I want to go to Tokyo more than I want to go to almost wait is that even where rush hour is
dude. Jaggy Chan's Chinese. Frick.
Yeah.
Tokyo just seems cool. I don't know why.
Tokyo drift maybe. I don't know.
Do they go Japan and Rush Hour?
I think they do.
I honestly don't remember.
But yeah. Tokyo seems awesome.
Okay.
Great.
How was whenever it was like Scott's championship or, you know, big, big match?
Oh yeah. You want to talk about that?
Yeah.
Dude.
So, yeah, it was like, I guess the last episode.
was Scott had just got there
and in the morning like 12 hours from now
he has like a pro match to play
so you have to like
there's 16 teams in the
pro qualifier so you got to win a couple
matches and then you're into the pro main draw whatever
um
first match
championship court and Scott's got his nerves
under control he's like I'm just like feeling excited
feeling good yeah proud of him
no jet lag he feels pretty good
um first game
best two out of three
it's close but they lose next game it's real close it's nine to nine now it's nine to ten the other
team's got game point and i think like kyle kind of pops a ball up this guy's got an overhead
smash right at scott's feet he somehow digs it out they smash it again he digs it out again i mean
it's truly remarkable point they ended up not losing the point they win the next point they get
the serve back they come back they win that game and they win the next game so they win that match
wow it was crazy i mean like scott was down the last point you're not you
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really?
Back-to-back match points.
I mean, it was crazy.
Scott was playing so well.
They win that match.
They play later in the afternoon.
And I want to say it's like the same story.
Like lose the first game, come back in the second game, and then win the third game.
So they did it.
They won two of their qualifier matches.
They live to die another day.
So we come back the next day.
Now they're in the pro main draw.
and now they're like legitimate like underdogs it's like yes these were tough matches the first
two days Scott had to play well just to barely you know sneak away with a win but now they're playing
guys who are like legitimately just like so good these guys play on like the American whatever they're
they're very good and um at least I think I'm saying all this correctly um but anyway they uh
They win the first game, like 11 of 4 or something.
And we're just, I mean, we're over there just like, holy crap, dude, are they about to pull us off?
The next game, they're up with the serve.
It's 9-1-1.
I mean, they're about to steamroll these people.
And, you know, they get one point.
They lose a couple more.
Now it's 10 to 3.
Okay, we got the serve back.
10 to 3.
Two quick, you know, points is side out.
Next thing, you know, it's close.
Oh, no.
It's tied now.
They lose the second game.
You know, you're going, dude.
And they were up 9 to 1.
9 to 1 with the service.
It was 10 to 3.
Like, how is this possible?
They lose that game.
And then they lose the third game.
And so they're out.
They were just like...
They like reversed what they did the first day.
Yeah.
It was crazy.
And I might have even skipped over.
I think they might have even want to match the day where it's...
There's been so much has happened.
But, anyway, Scott played unbelievable.
We are so proud of how well he did.
like the whole tournament.
Him and Kyle did so well.
It was so fun.
Let's go, Scottie.
But it's also just crazy.
Just like pickleball.
Like how quickly their tournament could have been over with.
Like they were 30 minutes on the first day.
It was almost over with.
The difference in feeling like, man, that was pretty rough.
Maybe we shouldn't do that again versus how close they came to like getting to the quarter
finals.
Like they almost made it to like the elite eight.
Sure.
And anyway, very small margins.
But Scott did amazing.
We were so proud of him.
And yeah, he was awesome.
Let's go, Scott.
He got fired up a couple times, like yelling at the other team.
It was great, dude.
Yell you at the other team?
Yeah, just in the final match.
He was pretty, he was pretty, like, chill until, like, they were just, like, it was really only us rooting for Kyle and Scott.
And then the whole audience is, like, rooting for, like, the Asian guys that they're playing against.
So, you know, Scott was just trying to fire himself up, I guess.
And the only one I really remember is Scott kind of, like, hit a shot that, like, you know, he fooled a guy and went behind him.
And it was a clean winner.
And Scott details out him, whoops.
Daisy, Daisy.
We were dying laughing.
That's hilarious thing to yell.
Also, there's no way that translates.
He has no idea how you're even taunting him.
Whoopsie, Daisy.
Daisy is a flower, right?
Does he mean white lotus?
Whoopsy, Daisy.
That's amazing.
Let's go, Scotty.
Whoopsy, Daisy.
Oh, my gosh.
But yeah, they won.
They won two pro matches the first day, then they won the round of 32, and then they got so close to winning in the round of 16.
So they did phenomenal.
It was awesome.
Sweet.
Love that.
Yeah.
Love that, dude.
That was super fun.
Give me some more things you're thankful for.
I feel like...
Great.
I like these.
I'm going to text you a picture of something, and then we could talk about it.
The fourth thing I'm thankful for is dry bathrooms.
Just like the floor being just like generous.
dry, which leads me to a little debate that Kyle and I got into.
Whoa, what do you got here?
I will, I think either me or Nathan Coley are going to edit this episode.
I can put this on screen.
But what we have here, actually, you describe it that way Hattie can also hear it, and maybe she can speak out.
Maybe Hattie can describe it to us.
Hattie, what are you looking at here?
I did not mean to touch that, but I think it's a toilet.
It's a toilet, and what's next to the toilet?
it.
I can't tell.
It looks like a wire.
A squiggly wire.
It's like a hose or a nozzle.
It's like a, it's like a toilet with a hose on it, like with a nozzle, like a pretty good, like, you know, a gardening hose nozzle.
Like a, maybe it's adjustable to different, you know, shower jet, everything.
Maybe.
And there's a floor drain right, right below it.
Ooh, the floor drain is where we get a little.
A little like, why you need that?
What's running off down there?
I have no idea why you need the floor drain other than like the bathroom is just always being wet.
So I saw these, I mean, right away, you get to Asia and these bathrooms have this.
Yeah.
And I thought this is a bidet.
Sure.
That was my first reaction to.
To clean yourself.
And Kyle goes, no, this is to like clean off.
This is to rinse off the toilet bowl when you're done.
I was like, really?
No, this is like a, we're in like,
B'day culture.
No, this is for sure for yourself.
And then the more I'm in other bathrooms,
I'm like, there's quite a bit of water all over the ground.
Maybe Kyle's right.
Maybe they are like spraying down the toilet bowl and it's just water is going everywhere.
Either way, I don't like it.
No, I actually don't know.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't, I don't hate the idea of like a way to click like,
clean the public toilet before you use it.
But like, yeah, it's very messy.
And where's that water?
That water is like instinctively going on the ground and like on your feet.
And like, yeah, just, uh, yeah, my first reaction was bidet too.
But then again, that doesn't seem like the most effective use of a bidet.
Maybe it's both.
Maybe you can use it.
It's your host.
Maybe one.
Maybe it's both.
Like you use one and then it splashes everywhere.
So you need to use it.
But bidet.
seems unclean. Like that's it's not a direct enough shot. I don't know. Did you did you use it as a
bidet? I did use some bidet as well as there, but these were like in like the nicer hotels. Like it was
like an attachment on the toilet. I'm not like cranking the garden hose and getting
situated for myself. Hattie, do you like chicken? Yes. Do you like wagoobee? No, because I have no
idea what it is.
Do you like hamburgers?
Yeah.
Do you like steak?
Yes.
Do you like Good Ranchers?
Yeah, I guess.
Yes.
The only meat that I have.
It's the only meat that you have.
Inundated.
We have a picky mom who likes Picky, is picky about her food, and she only wants the best for
her kids, and so she goes to Good Ranchers.com to order the best meat available, the best
meet around. I've been missing it and I already I look forward. I foresee myself continuing to miss it
just because of the travel. The chicken curry would have hit a little better. I think if it was
organic non-GMO. Right. Chicken. And also with the move of them having to put my my box on hold,
it's going to be a while before I eat good ranchers chicken, unfortunately. Yeah, but you're going to go
through what's called a withdrawal. Yeah. Itching, scratch.
Yeah, sleepless nights, cold sweats, hot sweats, medium temperature sweats.
Next sponsor will help with that.
Next sponsor will help with that.
Okay.
But if you guys don't know, Good Ranchers is the best meat in the entire world.
And it's right here, it's from right here in America.
Yes.
Right?
Yep.
That's why you couldn't get it in Malaysia.
It's not Malaysian meat delivered.
It's American meat delivered.
Yes.
Right? And you could take money off your order.
You can get free expedited shipping and you're going to get a free protein at a
protein added on to your subscription box for as long as you keep your subscription.
It can go on indefinitely. It can be passed on your children.
All you got to do is use a promo code GRKC.
Go to Good Ranchers.com and do all your meat shopping right now.
It's very convenient. Get it done.
Check it out. Check it out.
There's a question for you.
When you move to Arizona, are you going to make it a point to get a bidet?
I think I might. You know, I've never picked out my own bidet.
This one was appointed for me.
I'd like to do a little bidet shop.
to do a little bidet shopping.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
But it's been good enough to you that you're like,
I'm going to miss it if I don't have it.
It has been good to me.
Yeah.
I think I will.
I think I'll leave this one.
Yeah, I might do some bidet shopping.
You're going to initiate the other guy.
Max says his name, the new guy.
Max, come here.
Let me show you something.
Put your pants down real quick.
Here, boy.
I'm wet, are you?
Yeah, right.
Okay.
So dry bathrooms.
I know you can relate to this because this is anywhere that's not America.
It's just like ice.
It's like ice in your cup.
They didn't have this in Spain.
Just cold stuff.
Yeah, cold stuff.
My gosh.
Yeah, they don't have ice or they, they'll do ice, but they'll do like one cube.
Like maybe like a solid like decently large like cylindrical cube.
You know what I'm talking about like those kinds?
Yeah.
Like you can like, you know, whistle through it basically.
But that does things not last and very long because they're putting lukewarm soda into it.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
That's just.
a killer dude that's yeah just miss it yeah that's fair so just ice in general is just well and
what kind of ice are you talking about like for the drink yeah yeah i think so you miss that drinking ice
yeah good good um number six things i'm thankful for in america is large portion sizes and yes that includes
napkins and it's in both places you know hey i'll take a this drink or whatever
and it's just like a shot of apple juice.
It's like, okay, can you bring me eight more, you know, please?
And then like you get a napkin and it's just like for like, I don't know, it's like for a baby like for, you know, at scale.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you never know.
Why?
Just in general, I get frustrated when they don't tell you how big something is.
Like I don't know how to like really give that scale.
But like I went to dinner for Catherine's birthday the other day at Rye.
I love Rye.
one of my favorite places in Kansas City,
but I ordered a pork chop
and they're like, oh, the pork chops's like one of the best things
on our menu, maybe my favorite pork chop ever.
I was like, great, let's do the pork chop.
And of course, it's a fancier place.
And so this pork chop looked like
the son of the daddy pork chop
that I was expecting to have.
I was like, oh, okay.
So that's what's a $45 pork chop's going to get me here, you know?
And I don't know how to you really say that
at a fancy place, but I'm like, I would love
just a little more communication that it's going to be one ounce of apple juice.
Okay, cool.
Can I get 10 of those, please?
I would struggle with that.
You know I would.
Yeah, it was just, um, everything's just smaller there in Asia.
And so you just like have an order more or just, whatever.
It's fine.
I just, I just thankful for big sizes of things in America.
And napkins too.
Napkins, napkins quantity or size?
Like the surface area of like a napkin.
Like, I'm going to go wash my hands.
And you take it and it's like, I don't know.
Like, it's like the size of like a check maybe.
You're like, all right.
Cool.
I guess that's what we're doing.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I was going to see something else.
Whatever, it doesn't matter.
Notice is pretty early on, but I am thankful for protein.
It is very hard to find protein in Southeast Asia.
A lot of rice, a lot of noodles.
Okay.
And mainly that.
Not much teen.
Not much teen.
Yeah.
that's interesting
no no like
they yeah not an abundance of chicken
anywhere or something like that
and there is meat like
you know at restaurants like you can get
you can get beef you can get pork you can get chicken
but it's like it's it's rice with a
side of of chicken
yeah yeah yeah just got back to America and it's like
this is nice this is nice for the chicken's the main
part gosh we had grilled chicken last night
good ranchers grilled chicken might I add
and I had five of them
It was awesome.
It was so good.
Good portion size.
It was awesome.
Yeah, it was so fun.
So, yeah, that's good.
Okay, so protein.
And then final one, rounding out my top eight things I'm thankful for in America is lack of curry smell at all times.
Just after a while, he kind of knows like, it's kind of just been smelling like that for a while now.
And it's not like a super potent curry smell, but it's a faint smell of curry.
in and out of most businesses, restaurants, malls, shops.
Had a lot of chicken curry the past week.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't think of curry as like, yeah, being super potent.
But I do think it's not the thinnest of smells.
You know what I mean?
Like there's a thickness to curry.
Like it's just like there's something in the air when it's, it's never like,
oh, just a nice light breeze of curry.
It's like, no, no, no.
There's a smog of curry coming through.
Like, you know, and it doesn't necessarily.
necessarily have like the like yeah just like oh overwhelming smell but it's like but it it does
feel like it's stuck to you a little bit like it's not going anywhere anytime soon there was a part
of the mall that I walked through and it was like they should name it like curry row or something
like that where it was like I was getting hit with it left and right and then I went out of my way
I had no interest in going in the store but it was called the um the huga store you familiar with
that word uh like huga like the cool like
vibes. Yeah, yeah, like the Swedish thing or whatever it is. Yeah, yeah. They had their own store called
Huga. And I was like, that place is going to smell good. Why I do a couple laps in Huga and just
kind of like reset back to factory settings a little bit. That was nice. Oh, it was. Okay. It was
I thought you were going to say, no, it was more curry. No, it was better. Currie is this diffuser right now?
What is this? Okay. Yeah, Huga. I remember that's what in Colorado, we went to that place.
Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, it was something like that. We did in Vail.
Good times, dude.
Okay, so you're grateful for no curry.
Yeah, just a little break from the smell.
Overall, I mean, Asia is awesome.
I hope it doesn't come across as complaining.
But it's like once I got back to America, it's like,
it's just nice, nice to be back.
A couple of like things that feel like, I don't know, luxuries.
I bet they're saying the exact opposite.
I bet they're saying like nowhere in America,
it smells like curry.
It's terrible.
Yeah, you know how hard it is to get four pounds of rice in America?
You know Chipotle, you have to say more, more, I need more.
Yeah.
Have you seen that?
I feel like people are sending me this a lot recently.
Like the Chipotle CEO says if you want more, just ask for more.
Have you seen this?
I did see that.
I'm like, okay.
I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think it's going to be that easy.
I don't think that's going to be like the main memo we got here.
I would like to know which Chipotle he will be at.
I would like to talk to him about it.
Also true.
Yeah.
That's a good word.
Is that all of them?
Is that all your eight?
That's my top eight.
That's my top eight.
I'll give you a quick fill in on what's going on here.
Really just, I mean, we flew for the first, it was first time flying for three of my four kids.
Haddie had flown before, but I mean, it had been a while since she'd flown.
Like, I don't know when the last time she flew was.
So really all four, and this is the first time, like, going to the airport in a long time.
for me even like like I know how to do this but I didn't have a real ID like my my
ID still just like a old timeer ID yeah and it was like you could use your passport and so I
went to go find my passport passport's expired I'm like I'm not doing too hot right now and so
and so I read like if you don't have a real ID there's another way that you can authenticate it
like but it's going to cost you $45 and so anyway I was all not worried but like cognizant
that it's going to take a while to do this real ID thing so we get to the airport early
we scan it all in and uh nothing no no worries no no problem i don't know if it was because we had
four kids and they're just like yeah just do your thing just go man um it was interesting like right
at the you know right at the area where the guy looks at your tickets you know you scan in your
id and all that stuff um the way that he kind of verified our kids identities i guess um or you know
whatever is like he'd be like beau beau's not here oh why isn't beau here bo's not here or no he wouldn't
say Robert. I guess he would say Robert's not here. Robert's not here. And we're like and then
Beau was like, I'm here. Oh, okay. There's Robert. Okay. Oh, Rose. Rose not here. Rose not here.
I guess Rose is missing. We're like, oh, Rosie, raise your head. You know,
Hattie. Haddy. Haddie ain't here though. Haddie ain't here. We're Hattie. You know, like,
it was like, I was like, I guess that's a tricky way to do it rather than like, I don't know.
Is this like a human trafficking thing?
Like making sure.
That was my thought was like definitely like it was like this like, oh, maybe there's something.
I don't know.
I wasn't sure exactly how how that all worked.
But and then they're like, Henry, Henry ain't here?
I'm like, come on, dude.
He's two.
Raise your chubby hand, Henry.
Come on, buddy.
So anyway, but it was a sweet little time.
It was kind of like a family team kind of thing.
It was like Henry's in a stroller.
We got these bags with this.
They got their heavy backpacks.
but we all pushed
pushed through together.
I think Rosie like pushed Henry for a while,
which was awesome.
They love the moving walkways.
They,
you know,
they couldn't believe how fast we were going.
Like just,
I mean,
like,
because we were just walking normal,
but you're just walking past these guys.
Like,
look,
we're like passing him.
Look how fast we're going.
You know.
But the funniest thing,
I wish Haddie were here for this.
She went left.
But she,
uh,
she got told by,
you know,
one of our friend,
military Bob's wife,
Alyssa,
Alyssa said, hey, a good thing to do so that your ears don't pop or hurt is to suck on a sucker.
Come here real quick.
I want to talk to you about the sucker thing.
Classic Haddy, this happens, I don't know, five times a week.
Haddy put her shirt on backwards.
That is amazing.
She can memorize a hundred facts and yet does not put her shirt on the right way.
But Alyssa told her like, hey, in order to not, um, okay, I want to, I want you to come talk to us about this.
So put your shirt on.
But in order for your, uh, ears not to pop, the good thing to do is to have a sucker, you know, and like, suck on a sucker so that you can, you know, your ears will naturally pop.
I've never heard that.
I've heard that. I've heard.
Chewing gum is always the one I've heard too.
For babies, it's good to have a pacifier because it's like the same idea of like sucking on something.
They say for babies, best thing you can do is just leave them at home.
for babies it's just don't let them get on an airplane um so anyway haddie and beau i think really took to this
come here real quick um and uh and so you know we're like on like like the whatever you want to call it
the not the approach but like like we're not in the air yet we're like driving around the what do you
call that like taxiing yes but we're getting ready to take off and so yeah we're like driving to the the runway
basically.
And they're,
you could tell they're like,
I don't know,
like extra,
in my opinion,
extra,
were you nervous about your ears popping?
Kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mom said it didn't hurt
but that it felt like
when your ears got clogged.
So I didn't,
so I didn't know what it felt like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so all of a sudden,
like,
really,
like Rosie had no idea.
Rosie was oblivious.
Rosie was just chilling back there,
having the time of her life.
Somehow it ended up being
hady,
Bo and Rosie in one row together.
Wow. And we were just like, let's just see how it goes. And if not, like, we'll, we'll,
you know, intervene and we'll go in between. Because, you know, we were thinking like, okay,
one of us will be with two kids. The other one will be with two kids. But, um, but there's Hattie
and Bo, like, not sucking on their suckers, but just licking them like ravenously as the
plane is taken up. Hurry, hurry. Yep. Yep. And did your ears pop? No. They did okay. So, but it was just
so funny. I mean, like, Haddy, were you nervous, like, when the plane was getting ready?
Kind of.
I wish I would have had a video of it because they were just, Haddy especially, was just closing
your eyes and just aggressively licking this lollipop.
It was good.
Yeah.
It was a good time, but anyway, it was, it was fun.
It was fun time.
And overall, really, the Southwest, the first time of Southwest experience where it was not, you
know, just prior.
already, or whatever they call it, like, A, B, C, boarding.
Yeah, assigned seats.
Kind of nice because we didn't have to, like, hustle to the gate.
You know, it's like, oh.
We'll get there when we get there.
Yeah, we're fine.
And then also it was super nice.
There was only one person within, like, three rows of us.
And so we were, so, like, Rosie a few times.
It's kind of like, yeah, rocking the seat in front of her.
And luckily, it wasn't too bad.
Like, there wasn't very many people around.
Yeah, there was one person in the seat in front of Rosie.
And then there was no.
one in the seat behind me and Rosie and Ball and no one in the road behind mom and dad.
Yeah, Henry was kind of feral.
He was kind of all over the place, just crawling around, opening up, shutting the window over and over.
I mean, he was the hardest one out of all of them.
But Rosie, you would have acted like she's done this a million times.
Like she was getting out of her, like undoing her seatbelt, like coming to talk to me.
Like, you know, like just having the tie of her life.
Hey, dad, can you get me, can you give me this sticker?
Can you give me this, you know, like all these different things.
It was fun. It was easy.
I want to know, Hadi, what did you think of flying?
You haven't flown in a long time.
What was it like?
Did you hear that?
What did you think of flying?
I don't know.
It was fun.
It was very, very high up.
Yeah.
Haddy had the window seat.
Yep.
And Bo said he gets the window seat next time.
You hear that?
Nope, but okay.
He's like, Hattie was scared to look out the window.
I was like, well, then she shouldn't have the window seat.
I was for takeoff, but then, well,
got high up, I liked it.
Oh, really? Okay.
Did you see the clouds?
Did you see the clouds?
Yeah, it was crazy.
You were so high up.
We are higher than the clouds.
And when we went down, then sometimes we went through a cloud.
And all I could see out my window was whiteness.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
So overall, pretty smooth.
Kind of the bummer of this place, we're in Fort Morgan,
which is even farther west from Gulf Shores.
So it was like hour, 45 minute drive from the airport.
but still way easier than you know driving the whole whole way so um beautiful place here
Pensacola was on map tap a couple days ago oh he said Pensacola was on map tap the other day
that's fun oh man that would have um it was fun though like so at home henry's just like so
i guess the word's tactile i or like he just loves like playing out something
side with mud and with like in the sandbox and with water and everything and so i got a video of him
uh you know like it's just like it's just like the house in gulf shores where it's like a long
boardwalk down to the beach um so i got a video of him like going down the stairs and like touching
the sand for the first time oh and basically like just having this realization of like the limit
does not exist you know like like there's just so much sand look at all this say it like he just
like touched the sand with his feet and like looked around for a second and then
like grab the sand with his hands and just like had this like streak of delight like I'm just
like ah ah you know just like so pumped about uh just like look at this I just like a playground
like a massive sand playground so um that's fine he's been having a blast he's just yeah hamming it up
and just um yeah super goofy are you trying to find the video yeah how much longer are you down there
we're down there till Saturday so we got another it's only Tuesday so we got plenty of time um
we're hanging out but
you would have thought we were all just amateur beach people oh here we go yeah this is not
this not going to translate very well but he's like pick it up and throwing it he's loving
squealing yeah yeah he's like squealing like a pig um so yeah we're down there until
saturday and it's just this is a great time and just super chill um you know just kind of similar
to what we do in gulf shores where it's just like just yeah just chilling on the beach
playing lots of games,
played catchphrase last night,
and you would have thought that
I was the only person
who's ever played catchphrase before.
Brad, you have to explain it.
It's too complicated.
Dude, truly.
I mean, I love her family,
but I'm convinced that they've all played this before.
Like, now, if it lands on me,
the other team gets a point,
I'm like, yeah, guys.
I don't know.
Like, and how do I start this thing?
There's a button on there that says start.
Like, it's just like simple things like that.
I struggled though, dude.
I had the word headband, and I was like, okay, it's a top of, top of your body,
top of your body, something you put on the top of your body.
I don't know why I struggle with that.
Huh?
I don't think I was there for that one.
Oh, you weren't, you were in bed.
We were played as adults.
All right.
Once again, it's just, it's just hard to be away.
It's just hard to be away.
You go somewhere.
They have nice amenities.
they have nice this they have nice that but when you're used to the best it's hard not to have the best
yeah and i'm talking cozy earth dot com slash ghostrunners cozy earth is the third and final sponsor of
today's episode and if you don't know about them they have the most comfortable bed sheets they have
the most comfortable linens towels uh other things robes socks clothes you love their clothes jake loves their clothes
I forgot to bring my pillowcase, my cozy earth pillowcase, but it would have been a genius thing to do.
I packed two sweatshirts for my entire, like, you know, whatever it was, 12 days in Asia.
And it was a hoodie to wear on the airplane there and a hoodie to wear on the airplane back.
Also, every night, which maybe these were getting kind of dirty.
I don't know.
But I had cozy earth shorts that they were my sleep shorts.
So I slept, I couldn't have the, this is all true.
Like I couldn't have a cozy earth bed sheet, you know, set up.
but I had the cozy earth on my body all 12 nights of sleep while I was there.
Okay, genuinely, I want to know, tell me about these shorts, because I don't have shorts from them.
Oh, really?
Are they similar to the pants, but just smaller?
Exactly.
Yeah, they're just like baggy, just like a heavy, soft shorts.
I think they send them to me in like their very first package they ever sent to us.
Sweet.
And they're just like, yeah, I'd say they're great like lounge shorts.
I sleep at them all the time.
It feels so nice.
Yeah.
So would you say like genuinely, I don't think if there's ever been anything from cozy earth that we've gotten that I don't really enjoy.
Yeah.
So, I mean, once again, like there's stuff I haven't experienced yet.
So I can't fully attest to every single thing they have on their website.
But I will tell you right now, I'll tell you right now every time I hear about a new thing, I asked somebody about it like I just did right there.
They liked it.

anyway but it's been a lot of fun and um trying to think of anything else from the with the houses
back here yeah dude uh good i i i worked myself ragged to the bone like a dry dog i yeah yeah
what do they call uh put away wet road hard put away wet
I don't know what that is.
You never heard that phrase?
Like,
that's like it's a hoarse term.
But,
uh,
no,
I bet I worked.
I don't know how many hours,
50 plus hours in four days.
I mean,
I don't know.
There was one day I worked from 5 a.m.
until 1 a.m.
Like,
just like,
that's 20 right there,
whatever that is.
And,
but we're close,
man.
Like when we get home,
there will be a few things I need to do.
I've been T.
Rabbin,
like,
crazy, which is awesome.
Just hiring out the
hiring out task rabbits.
And, yeah, for the most part, it's been pretty
smooth. I mean,
I'm trying to think there's not been like any huge
hiccups or anything like that so far with the
house that we're working on. And then the other ones,
the Airbnb is going well.
Still trying to figure out this whole cleaner situation.
I'm close to firing them, but also I don't
feel like I have a second, like option.
You know, it's kind of like, like,
it'd be one thing if it's like, oh, I'll just transition to this person, but it's like,
what if those people do bad once? And then that's all it takes for like somebody to have a bad
experience. And so it's like, I don't know. I can't really quit you. So my hope is that if I find
another cleaner that does really well on the second house, I can hire them for both. Yeah.
But it's kind of like trial run with this house. And if you do a good job, can you handle this one too?
It's kind of thing. So, but the hot tub's awesome. We went to the hot tub the other night,
which was fun.
Ooh.
What do you say?
Oh,
mustache picture.
Yeah,
cool.
And yeah,
everything's good,
man.
I'm excited about it
and I really like both those houses
a lot.
And so it's really the second ones,
especially.
I'm excited to get it going.
So,
yeah,
it's just a matter of the last few things.
But I've been having so much fun
speaking Spanish,
honestly.
Like,
I'm like in my groove.
Like Catherine came over the other day.
Yeah, dude, Catherine came over the other day.
And she's like, there was a second where I like forgot that you could speak English.
Like the way I was speaking to these people.
I was like, I was like flying.
I was like, you know, saying some stuff quick.
And she's like, oh my gosh.
Like you speak.
And it's like it's so much easier to speak fast or to speak comfortably because it's like I can choose what words I'm saying.
Yes.
You know, versus like when they're talking to me once in a while, I'm like, say it again.
You know, like what?
You know, but like I have enough vocabulary that I use over and
over and over again where I could say those things well.
And I'm sure it's developing in more of like a blue collar version of Spanish where like
that's where you're fluent and like lumber and materials.
Yes, dude.
I like I'm learning like and that's the thing is like a lot of those words I didn't know before.
Like there's so many like phrases that I learned in in Spanish class like Valde la Pena means it's
worth the, you know, it's worth the pain basically.
Like it's like it's worth it.
You know, but I don't know.
I didn't know what a Sierra was.
Sierra is a saw.
You know like I didn't know what a tournier.
was tourneo is screws like i didn't know what polvo polvo means uh dust you know like stuff like that
i'm like okay i'm learning these things huh um but i know vala la pina you know so um and what was
like oh dude the other day this is like the most peer pressure is the wrong word but the most
i've been tempted yet by my deaconhood um so the other day dude i got this buddy i mean this
he's my buddy by now like this guy that's been working painting
painting my house, Wilmer, Wilmer, Wilmer and his brother Antonio.
They're from Honduras.
Yeah, Wilmer.
Who's ever heard that name?
Wilmer and Antonio, we've been working, like, these guys work all day, like, on exterior
paint jobs, and then they come to my house around 4 p.m.
and work till 10 or 11 at night.
Like, these guys work seven days a week for, you know, however many hours, 12 hours a day.
Trabohar, Mucho, dude.
And they said that a lot.
They'd be like, Mucho, trabaho.
I'm like, yeah, I know, bro.
And you're like, it's worth the pain.
Yeah, by the pain, huh?
And anyway, but we, I mean, like, we bonded in so many ways.
They even, like, once they were done painting, uh, whatever, like, they didn't get done
as soon as they thought they were going to.
And so some of like the puzzle pieces of the movers came a little bit early to help me move
stuff.
So like, we'll just help you move stuff.
So like, we're like, we're like moving and sweating and like so, like working so hard
until like, I don't know, midnight that night, moving stuff upstairs.
And they're like, hey, we're done.
You know, they're finally done.
Like, they're completely done with their entire project.
And they're like, we have three modalo's in the freezer right now.
Like, like, just trying to get them as cold as possible.
And they're like those classic, like, I don't know.
This is just classic to me.
It's like classic Hispanic, like 30 ounce, like massive dance.
And they're like, we want to cheers with like drink these together.
And I was like, oh, man.
Like, it was like one of those like ceremonial, like, drinks.
Iglesia.
I was just like, and they're like, no, no, Tomé, you know, like, you don't drink or whatever.
I was like, I don't get drunk, you know, whatever.
But I was like, sometimes I drink, but I was like, nah, not today.
You know, whatever.
I didn't want to explain it all to them.
I could have, I guess, but could have been a good discipleship moment, I suppose.
But it was just like so hard.
But all it to say, they ended.
ended up both like chugging theirs and then one of them like they like split the third one
and then they just drove home like 10 minutes later like wow I was like all right hope you guys
are good uh but uh I think they do it enough where they're they're used to it but anyway it was like
it was like one of those times where I was like oh this is not as much about the the alcohol as
is about like this like brotherhood of like companionship kind of thing um and they like bought one for
me you know what I mean like they like were expected you know it's like ah
No, thank you, man.
You know, but I had a little bit of that, you know, in Asia.
I mean, every time someone would take us out to dinner, this is another thing is like,
we never ordered for ourselves.
You know, it's always like, come here, eat.
I'll get a bunch of stuff for the table, you know, for everyone, you know.
So I haven't even ordered my own food in 10 days.
But along with that, every now and they were like, hey, I got you guys a famous Malaysian dessert.
I want you guys each to try it.
You know.
Oh, right.
Oh, I'm full.
Oh, I wish I could.
I'm full.
You know, because I'd rather just not even explain it, you know.
So right.
I'm like, I'm not doing the dessert thing.
I know.
It's like, how do I, how do I explain this in a way that seems concrete enough?
Or like, yeah, it's like, well, can you just do it this one time?
It's like, yeah, probably could.
Yeah.
You ever just cheat on your wife one time?
I just like take it to the next.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I could just break the law this one time.
Sure.
Yeah, I guess I could.
Why not?
Gunshot to the head.
Yeah, just one.
No, you're right.
You're right.
Yeah, man.
That's what you want for me?
Yeah.
Yeah, one quick massage on the street with a speci, speci.
Yeah, I could just do that.
Yeah, one quick pet with a wet dog.
No problem.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
That's what you want?
Huh?
Wilmer?
That's what you think of me, Wilmer?
So, anyway, dude.
that's like that's the latest with that so so wilmer's the man i mean but yeah just been speaking
like i've been talking to like i think i'm like i'm like getting like close to hispanic bingo
like i've gotten i've been i've been talking to cubans uh el salvatoregos people from el salvador
honduras mexicans trying to think i mean i got peruvians with alvaro um i haven't talked to him
recently but yeah just been like i feel like maybe oh columbian uh oh what's that where's where's
javani from i think javani's guatemala guatemala wow it's kind of one of each you are kind of hitting
the jack potto yeah and i'm really like it's very interesting to learn like okay like this cuban guy
was impossible to understand for me and i'm like is that you or is that cubans or is that like
i had to like really concentrate on what he was saying because he kind of just like just kind of mumbled
a lot.
Guatemalan guys,
I'm like very easy to understand.
So it's like,
I'm kind of just learning different things.
And there was one time this guy came over.
Wilmer like recommended this guy.
So this guy came over and I knew that he was from Honduras.
And so I said, oh, you know,
Arias Hondurino, like are you Honduran?
And it was him and this guy's aunt,
which is just classic, like family business kind of thing.
And the aunt's like, how did you know?
Yeah, very good.
Thank you.
The Tia was like, how'd you know?
And I,
I don't know if I should have said this or not,
but I was like,
oh I just buy your smell like just joking with them like I'm just kidding I'm kidding Wilmer told me
you know but for like one second like I think she was like very like what was that me
yeah um I have gotten Wilmer to laugh really hard like three times and that's like a fun fun
feeling to like make someone laugh in a different language like yeah because it's with J's
J-A-J-A-J-A-J-A-J-A-ha-ha yeah exactly
Anyway, I just
Yeah, Wilmer and Antonio
Like there was one time
Like there's a there's a twin bed that was left in this house
And I didn't I wasn't going to use it
And so I just put it out on the driveway
And ended up Antonio ended up taking it
Which is sweet but like Antonio is like
Is this your bed Brad?
And I was like no, it's your bed whenever your wife gets mad at you
I said that in Spanish
And Wilmer thought that was amazing
Like that was the funniest thing he's ever heard
That and I remember one time
Telling him about how
we don't have a dog.
I said, I want a dog someday, but I was like,
but I never want to get a cat,
you know,
and he just died laughing at that for some reason.
So, Wilmer's your guy.
Anyway, yeah, Wilmer.
Yeah, we've really bonded, dude.
It was, it was like, I want to miss Wilmer.
It's like, I want more paint jobs just so I can get Wilmer back in my life.
So if anybody needs a good painter in Kansas City,
this guy is the man.
I mean,
he worked so,
like, such heavy detail on everything.
So anyway,
highly recommend Wilmer to anybody,
but.
Do you have any Venezuelans in the,
bunch? No, I don't think so. They talked about how, no, that was somebody else maybe.
Somebody was talking about Venezuela is crazy. Like, just how they, oh, who was that?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe, never mind. I think that was my taxi driver the other day, uh, from the airport.
Jim. Jim. Jim was talking about Venezuela. Jim boom. Because he was doing, he had, he had another guy that
drove for that is doing oil, uh, like off the coast of Venezuela. Wow. So no. All this
say. I've talked Venezuela if you want to talk
Venezuela, but I know it's dangerous out there.
I've got a friend who I play pickleball with
here in Kansas City, and he's Venezuelan.
And when you were saying like,
yeah, whatever, different words for each
nationality, he was telling me some like
Venezuelan slang. He was like
Shamma and Shamo,
do you know those words? No, I don't think so.
Yeah, so I think it, that's what he kind of said.
He's like, if you're from like Columbia or Spain
or whatever, you wouldn't like use these words, but they're
like strictly Venezuelan. But like,
it's like saying, dude. Like Shammo is like, what's up?
dude and shama's like just like the female version of it do you have that with your different people
where it's like oh i have i've got a human nickname yeah well it's interesting because like i know some
slang and some a lot of it's mexican slang but like they know enough of like mexican slang like
being in america and talking to other like people you know like kind of like we would know like
bloke or mate or something like that even though we're not saying it they would be like if someone
if some Asian person came up to us,
they're like, hey, bloke.
It's like, okay, I know what you're saying, you know.
Like, a lot of the words I know, like,
I'm trying to think, like, the way you say,
like, I'm just joking is like, bromiano.
I don't know if that's, like, every,
every culture says bromionando,
or if that's Spanish.
Or, like, you know, Keonda.
Keonda's, like, more popular, I think,
in Mexico, maybe.
But, like, they knew, like, they would say it, too.
But I, I tried to, like, learn about what they would say to each other,
like, when they would talk,
like one of them says cayanda i think
which i don't know exactly what that means
like on d'ar is to walk i think
so maybe he's saying cayonda in just a different way i don't know
um
keonda way way is like dude
keon da way and so
wayro is like white dude i think
and so yeah i don't know i just throwing stuff out there like that though
anytime you try i think all you got to do is try to these people
and they like you know yeah yeah
So it was interesting.
And every once in a while, it's like they come in for a job, they've never met me.
And they speak English for a while.
Then I say some word within the English sentence in Spanish a little bit.
And they're like, oh, you speak Spanish.
And I'm like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, what were you saying?
It was interesting learning just a couple days ago.
Being in the Philippines, we were asking one of the guys driving us around,
just like, talk to us about the Philippines.
Like how, like, is it a?
Because there's a lot of words there that like look very Spanish.
I mean, even just the word Filipino.
I mean, that sounds so Spanish sounding.
Yeah.
You know, Filipino.
In the, the two main guys who were like taking care of us.
One's name was Miguel and the other was Roberto.
But we're in the middle of just like Southeast Asia culture.
And yeah, it was really interesting.
They have like a map.
I think they were colonized by the Spanish for like, you know, the 1700s.
Like for 200 years, they were Spanish.
Spain did some stuff back in the day.
They were, they got around after it.
Yeah, they did.
and then all of a sudden, yeah, not so much.
But it was fun.
I still don't know that much,
but it was fun learning a little world history
while we were there.
Dude, one of the coolest places
I've ever played pickle.
I kept telling their marketing manager,
I go, with the right photos,
this could be like,
you have so much potential.
So this was an old train depot.
So it's huge.
But they've turned into like pickleball courts now,
but it's not just courts.
I mean, there's like a mezzanine
and there's like string lights
and there's all this greenery
and there's like a restaurant, there's a bar,
there's Padelcorts.
I mean, it is so, so nice.
Looks so cool.
Yeah, just a huge, just train station.
But he's like, you see that area over there.
The reason this is like a decommissioned train station
is because it was bombed in World War II.
Whoa.
I go, you guys were a part of that?
And I feel dumb because I don't know.
I was like, I just had no idea that Malaysia had anything to do with that.
And then I'm like wondering, like, which side were they on?
I have no idea.
Yeah, was that our, was that our,
bad?
You know?
So he said, no, the Japanese
bombed here.
And I go, well, hey, if we had any part in that,
I am sorry.
If we, like, instigated that.
I know they didn't like us.
You know, I don't know how much we're to blame,
but sorry about that.
If we had anything to do with that,
whoopsie daisy.
All right.
Oh, that's funny.
Who knew?
Yeah, I didn't know.
I don't know history at all.
I need to, like, go back to school with my kids.
for all that stuff.
Yep.
You can hear.
I'd say, yep.
Yep, you do.
He's just chilling with me here.
Yep.
Yep, you do.
Did you know that Malaysia was part of World War II, Haddy?
Nope.
Nope.
So, I guess they helped us out a little bit.
I don't know what exactly they did.
I need to look into it.
What are you saying?
I knew Germany, Japan,
Italy, America, England, Russia.
Good.
This is the big ones.
Ask her, Heidi, what are the two sides called?
The good guys and the bad guys?
Oh, yeah.
He wants to know what the two sides are called.
Yeah, the good guys and the bad guy.
From our history.
Yeah.
What are the two sides called in World War II?
Access and allies.
Bingo.
Bingo.
And sing the song for the different leaders.
Okay.
I remember the tomb.
I forgot it.
Oh.
Hitler of Germany.
Let me think.
You don't remember?
Okay.
If you remember, let us know.
What do you think of this as far as languages go?
Catherine is really, I don't know if it's a new thing
or if it's just one of those things where I never noticed it.
And now that she's, now I've noticed it.
It's like, I can't not notice it.
She uses the word eldest a lot.
Oh, yeah, she does.
The heck is that about.
The eldest?
Like in a weird context.
Now, which one of your?
That's either, you're either 80 years old or you're from, you're from United Kingdom.
Like, I don't think we're saying that here, are we?
We say oldest.
It would be weird.
Yeah, especially in like a very casual context.
Oh, you got two little puppies.
Now, which one's the eldest?
Yeah.
And is your eldest?
Is she a girl too?
Like, what are you doing?
How old are you?
Too much Lord of the Rings for her or what?
That's what I don't know what.
I can't tell if it's like a new thing.
Because she does, she does say like some things.
What does she say?
What word is it?
Y'all.
Yeah, she says y'all.
But no, there's a word that's definitely like,
that's not how you're supposed to say it,
but apparently that's how you say it in England.
Gosh, darn it.
What is it?
All right?
No, not mancala.
Mancala.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, dang, that's going to kill me.
I was getting on the Katie Kennedy the other day because she, instead of caveat,
she was like caveat.
Caviott.
I was like, get over yourself.
Say caveat.
Dang it.
What word is it?
That's going to kill me, dude.
She says it a British version of something.
And it's not like ridiculous, but it's like, that's just not how you're supposed to say it.
FYI.
But eldest is like, I think, yeah, are you hearing anybody else in your life say eldest?
No, it just seems so formal and maybe British.
Yeah.
Gosh, darn it.
What word is that, dude?
She uses it 20 times a day.
It's like a very common word.
And she just says it, it's not appreciate, but it's something like that, like or exaggerate or, um, darn it, dude.
Oh, that's going to kill me now.
It's killing me.
It's killing me.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Eldest, though.
Yeah.
You're with me?
Like, that's ridiculous.
Yeah, they would throw me off if someone use it.
I would make fun of someone if they use that.
Yeah.
And she, like, gaslights me back.
Like, no.
What do you want me to say?
I was like, oldest.
What do you mean?
So.
Anyway.
The Green Bay Packers, the eldest Super Bowl champs.
Right.
That sounds right to you.
You think that's how everyone's saying it.
You think I'm the weirdo for using the word oldest.
Yeah.
Dang it, what's that other word?
Oh, it kills me.
Killing you.
Anyway, I'll think about this.
I'll read a review of the week and you don't even listen to me.
You try to figure out the word.
Okay.
I'm going to take off my headphones.
You make a face or a motion whenever it's time.
You get the thought chamber.
All right.

if I'm having a bad day,
one of your episodes will immediately cheer me up.
Just recently, I got my fiancee to start,
listening and he loves it. Now we laugh along together and talk about our favorite moments.
After he heard about the ghosty getaway, he said we are definitely going next year.
Thank you guys for all the laughs and see you next year. Okay. See you next year.
