All right. We ready? Yeah. Rolling. Rolling. Last studio. Second to last rolling that I'll say in the studio. Dude, don't say that. Say it one more time.

Okay. Rolling. Okay. That was the last time. You can't say it again. Got him. Trit them. Got them.

Either you're a liar, you can't say it again, dude. Wow. You're right. No has these. Next episode, our final episode in the studio, time we should treat us like the news, where they go. Yeah. The news is terrified of that one being caught, like on a microphone.

Oh. Three. Go. Oh. I muted the one and not to go. Yeah. Live. Who do you think is more terrified in general right now?

Okay. This is a good guess. Top five most terrified. News stations? New stations of being, or sorry, you go. New stations? Colleges. We'll call it small colleges.

Yeah. or cigarette companies. Got a laugh. Got a little laugh out of Rachel in the other room. Just a nice little. What? What are you talking about? You're terrified of like, like who.

Are you saying small colleges, like good luck, staying in business? I think colleges, dude, I think in, we'll call it 10 years, I think the landscape of college is going to look different. It feels like it's coming fast. If you can't provide like a very fun culture, then it's going to be hard to get people to come there. Like, pitch me on going to college right now. I'll pitch you on going to SBU.

Go to Alabama instead. Okay. Yeah. Go to Arkansas instead. I mean, I heard about one of my buddies from Kinnock, his college that he went to is gone. It's done. It's over. Really?

Yeah. Shout out Trinity. I think in Michigan, Minnesota, somewhere up there. Yeah. It's gone. Okay. So small colleges are terrified. What was the second thing you said?

I think the news was first. I think the news, the news understands like, we're struggling. Like, who's watching us if it's not, you know, severe weather? I think 55 and up that community, once they die, the news is going to have to figure something out. They're dying. Or, yeah, just keep the storms coming, which they are kind of doing here. Yeah.

We watch the news because there's tornado everything. Do you think that's why? The storms keep coming? Yeah, we're talking about fear mongering in the sense of like the 25-hour news cycle, but they don't talk about like big tornado into fear-mongering that comes along with that. Yes, exactly. or cigarette companies. So I would put fourth on the list, I would put Little Tornado.

Little Tornado is going to get outed by Big Tornado. It's like, guys, I'm kind of still doing something here. Straight Line wins. Like no one notices you, pal. And you think cigarettes because less people are smoking. It feels like everyone knows that it's bad now. Like I don't think doctors are recommending it as much anymore. Are they?

Trying to think what my doctor doesn't. The data. Yeah. It's probably like by state. Maybe. I don't think that it could be. Mississippi doctors are still like, yeah, no problem. Just a few a day.

You can't afford a Zimpic. How about some cigarettes? Yeah, how about Marlboro? I got a friend in Kazakhstan right now. And on her Instagram story, like she was showing that cigarettes are on the menu. It's like we've got, you know, a couple salads, couple side soups, and of course side cigarettes.

And a nice, yeah, nice slim for you. Side sigs. Would have no idea how much a single cigarette would cost. Would have no idea. Yeah, per sig. Like I think it's probably like, What you've had per pack? A quarter or less, but I don't know.

Like, isn't, is it equivalent to a stick of gum? Probably more. Probably it's got to be more. Surely, there's so much more technology in there. Gum's gotten expensive, though, dude. The technology of gum, though, those are little beads. I don't know about the beads. You haven't had the beads?

You've had the beads. I've had the beads. Yeah, I don't like the beads. You're talking about like mento gum or whatever? Like the polar ice with the beans. This guy's all in on mints. If it's not mince, he doesn't know we're talking about. You're talking about when you're like, when he brushes his tea

boil down the mints and like, make them to, That's what you're talking about? Oh, Jellon Mint. Oh, I'm not going to know. Yeah. I've had any type of mint. Uh, uh, oh, oh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white meat too.

Then West best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast. That's perfect. The beads. Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Dude, we haven't done the theme song. We need to learn how to do that when we're not live. It's a little bit harder, I think. I don't know. That's good that we got it there. That we have. Jelly beads. Yeah, I don't like the gum.

I like it more. Just can be a flat stick, all natural. All natural. Yeah. Swing low, sweet chariots. But anyone else on your terrified list? Probably. I don't know if.

I heard Osama bin Laden's son lives in New York. Really? He is like in a like a just like state of fear at all times. It can't be easy to be Bin Laden's son. Honestly, I bet it'd be easier to be in New York with it than anywhere else. Yeah. Like like Afghanistan, it feels like you got plenty of like they would find you. They'd know it's you walking down the street.

You can be pretty anonymous on the subway. People don't look at each other in New York. Yeah. People are just like just I saw a clip of a guy who said he saw his grandma passing him on the streets of New York and didn't say hi to her. Really? Yeah. So it's like, all right. Huh.

Like he's, and he said he's like, we're not super close. Right. But still, it's your grandma. That's how much people in New York don't want to talk to each other. Like, they might see like, oh, bin Laden Jr. And be like, eh, maybe. He's probably a good guy. Or maybe it's racist to think that that looks like that guy.

Yeah, you better be certain. It's bin Laden Jr. Also, who knew that that guy was still allowed to just, like, you should be guilty by association. Like there's certain people that you should just be guilty by association. Most people you're fine. But I think there's certain people out there. Once you get to bin Laden level, like, sorry, I know you didn't have a ton of deal with it, but your dad's been in law. But come on. Your dad's, yeah. You got to go to jail. I would at least have him on a very strong watch. Right? Maybe he is. Maybe he's stuck. It's like the terminal. He's stuck in New York.

I don't know. Who knows, man? Where do you guys been up to? Last episode's ever in the studio, guys. cherish it. Hey, you'll never hear these, you'll never hear these wrestles again. These walls again, man. Let me tell you, I got a story. I got a story. Got home from the beach on Saturday.

And as you know, we flew, right? But Gulf Shores is a little ways away from the airport. Piece of cola. Oh, I got two stories. I'm going to start with the first one first. Great. I mentioned last week that my sister-in-law flew Breeze Airlines. Yeah.

And then... What? You know about it? We got a listener. Do you see this post? No. We got a ghosty who's a Breeze flight attendant. Really?

Yeah. Okay. Well, let's talk to her then because I got a bone to pick with Breeze. Bone breeze. I got a breezy bone to pick. So... Sorry, I'm picking my breezy bone. So there's going to be some numbers here.

Not too many, but Tyman, I know you're struggling with. So just, yeah, try to make change on this. Yeah. So my sister-in-law, Caroline, her flight left at 2.45 from Pensacola,

okay? And she was, she had to leave early from this trip because she was going on a bachelorette party to Turks and Kekos the next day out of Miami. Okay. She's got to go from Pensacola to Miami

to Turks and Kekos. Full day of travel. No, no. But it starts. One day of travel to Miami and then the next morning she's going to Turks. Okay, but this all starts at 2.45.

245 p. I'm with you. So she leaves go to the airport. It's like an hour and a half drive. She gets there at a little bit close. I think she got out of her car at 204 p.m. That's pretty close. Pretty close.

She understands. And she gets a text on her phone saying, your flight is boarding. Okay. Everyone knows. I think pretty pretty understandable that normal flights board 30 minutes beforehand. So 2.15, I bet.

Pensacal Airport, small airport. She's like, oh, wow, okay, this is weird. By the time, I don't even think she had gotten through security yet. She got another text on her phone. I think it was like 214 saying your flight has left. 2.15. So it left. For a 245 flight.

It's nice to them to text. I don't know if I've, I mean, it's nice that Breezy has all these texts going out. I don't get text from Southwest or text from United. I sign up for them. I'll say, yeah, I would love them text. My number is on every Southwest flight I've ever booked, and they never text me. it's just all in the app or just like yeah well literally breeze is pretty much all over text because she tries to then she gets this text she's like what in the world so i think she tries to go

to her gate it's literally like gone like no no nobody they were right and so she had to go back to the ticket counter whatever i'm not sure there's nobody there like literally no one working out their ticket counter like their customer service is via the flight left they closed up shop they're not even they're they closed up business honestly maybe they're like spirit did it look pretty cool you know let's go for it let's have a good let's have a good let's have a good exit. So first of all, just unbelievably ridiculous. Like 30 minutes beforehand, like I almost questioned the numbers because that's ridiculous. I didn't think you could even do that. Like, even if you're going to like, yeah, you would like to take off early, but not everyone's here.

Right. So we can't take off without him. My potential theory is that since she hadn't gone through security yet, maybe they didn't. She's a goner. Yeah, they're like, well, she hasn't checked in yet. Everyone else is here. We're going. That's my only thought. Is there like a digital, kind of check in at security? Do they even know who is who going through security? Yeah. What do you mean? Like, yeah, you get like your ID scheme. Oh, that's true. I guess right beforehand. Yeah. Yeah. But like that's ridiculous. Like if it's like an hour beforehand, everyone, but one person's there like, well, they haven't checked in yet. So I guess we'll just go. We're running a little early. Just go hit the breeze. Yeah. And so I mean, obviously terrible.

Like she's freaking, you know, whatever. And so my father-in-law who drove her to the airport, luckily still was there. He gets a text. Should have driven faster, Grandpa. Yeah, yeah. How'd they know? She, he ends up, like, they end up buying another flight from Panama City Beach. Okay.

And driving like two hours to get there to this airport. Girls got a, girl's got a K-Kos. Bro, this is wild. So on their way there, the flight is supposed to be from Panama City Beach to Miami. Okay. They noticed that the flight is like three and a half hours. And they're like, that's kind of odd, but I don't know. Maybe they both kind of like just like for like just shrugged it off.

They're looking at like the boarding ticket essentially. They say, okay, we're going from Florida to Florida. Three and a half hour. Yeah, I know. Hindsight obviously 20, 20 on all this stuff. But no, I would do that too. Like, oh, that's kind of weird. But I've got other things.

I mean, this kind of stuff isn't wrong. So they drive all the way to Panama City Beach. She gets inside. She's like, hey, I'm looking for this. I forget what the airline's called. Some Spanish sounding word. airlines. And they're like, we don't have that here.

And the flight or the lady at the working looks it up. She's like, this is, this is a flight from Panama City, Panama. Yeah. And my sister-in-law is just like, I mean, just dejected, dude. Like they had already driven probably four hours. Dejectedito. How awful. I mean, just, that's terrible.

And it's not like she could just be like, oh, let's just, let's just figure it out. I'll just get on the next span. of Sherryline. Her flight left the next day at 845. And so she did, she rented a car from Panama City Beach, drove to Miami, got in at like 3 a.m. went home, like wash some clothes. It had to get back to the airport by 8.30 the next day. That's, I mean, just awful. Okay. So that's, so that's the, that's the story that we have two days before we're getting ready to leave. We just real quickly sit and probably what that felt like to drive all the way there. Like, whoa, that was kind of crazy earlier. All right. We made it, though. Thank you, Dad.

Thank you for driving me here. Oh, big hug. And we've never heard of that airline. She texted, Gary, this is my worst nightmares. Oh, my gosh. So just tough. I mean, tough for my father. I mean, anyway, he just came home.

He didn't get home to like, I don't know what it was nine something that night. Yeah, now he's got to make a three hour drive home just kicking himself. Panama City Panama. I know. So I think they just Googled Panama City to Miami flights or something like that. Oh, there's actually a lot of options. So anyway, knowing that we were kind of like, okay, this is great. You know, we do not want to miss our flight because we can see like what happens when you miss your flight.

And there's only one direct flight from Pensacola to Kansas City. And so was originally supposed to have a seven o'clock shuttle pick us up. We had like a taxi, like a minivan take us basically. And on the way there, on the way from the airport to the house, great. Jim was awesome. Older dude, really kind. New one to talk. I took a nap on the on the drive.

Didn't bother me. I was in the front seat with them. Kids were comfortable, respectful, whatever. I don't even know this guy's name that picks us up. I had him pick us up at 645. He got there at 6.10 in the morning. No problem. That's a good thing, I guess.

We're scrambling around trying to, you know, put all the stuff in the... Dude, that stuff happens a lot. When I schedule Uber, it's like, yes, it's not a bad thing necessarily. But they'll, like, hit you up. hey, I'm here. And then you kind of feel like, oh, wow. Okay, 10 minutes early. But like, you can chill, though, right?

Because I wasn't prepared for this. My kids aren't awake yet. Like, genuinely, it's like, we're not going to wake them up too early when we have to leave that early. Yeah, I just hope, you know, I'm just like, and you'll be cool if this takes a while. And that's the thing. This guy was fine. I mean, but I think he said he lived by the airport. So he probably got up at like 4.30 to get there.

I'm like, so he's probably tired. But he was just like, uh, uh, uh, like he was no. I bet he was pushing 80. Oh, God. Gosh. Whoa. Oh, dude. And so we get going.

We don't leave until around seven, unfortunately. Honestly. He should go to politics. He'd be better at that job than this job. I'll say that. So we get going. We're a little bit late. So we're supposed to get there.

I think our flies at 945. We're supposed to get there like 820. Not bad. That seems pretty solid. Not bad. Domestic fly. It's a little bit, you know, stressful with the kids. And we have checking all these bags.

We have, you know, car seat and stroller to check and all this stuff. But it's like, it's a. tiny airport in Pensacola. What's your guys is strat? Do you send the kids in through security and you say, hey, I'll take the suitcases and stuff just in case I don't make it? Or what's the, no, no, no. What do you, what do you mean? Oh, oh. If we're running late, if there are a lot of strollers and stuff in the, in the like checked luggage line is really long. Yeah. I don't know. Is that even valuable than just to send Catherine on a flight with four kids? I probably would. I mean, spoiler alert. I kind of did that this time. So.

We're driving to the airport. early in the morning, old man, really like non-verbal for a long time, like to the point where I was like, he is mean. I don't know what's going on with like, or like I would ask him a question and he would just like, do you live around here by the airport? Okay. Oh, okay. Like, which is fine. And I don't need, I don't need it, but I'm like, I'm willing to talk. Are you from around here? No. Okay. Yeah, like, it's fine. We don't have to talk, but you're not like really,

mad and I didn't do anything wrong. Dangerous, right? You're going to get to the airport. And so, dude, like, we're driving. And it's like, you know, early in the morning. So the sun's coming up. There's one time where I literally had to go, slow down, slow down, slow down. Slow down.

Because it was one of those lights that, like, he couldn't see. And it was like, it's red, dude. And he is about to go through this thing. Oh, gosh. And so he is, he's one of those classic drivers. If anybody out there does this, stop it right now. If anybody out there does this, stop it right now. He's one of those guys that just accelerates for a while and then just throws off the gas and just waits for it to slow down enough to where he needs to accelerate more.

So it's just like a, and it's like you're driving, you know, driving 45 miles an hour. It goes down to 43. I don't know if I ever even experienced this style driving. I feel like when my buddy Sam first learned out of drive, he was the worst. It just like throwing it down and then just like let up 65. Okay. Easy boy. I think that's how you drive your first week of learning.

Exactly, exactly. This guy was kind of stuck with it. Maybe your last week as well. This guy was about to kill us. I feel like that's how I would treat running a mile in the heat. Why don't I go hard for a little bit? Ooh, that was a lot. Let's walk the curves.

Yeah, he's doing couch to 5K of driving. Sprint and walk. That's how I would treat a horse if I was horseback riding. All right, let's go fast here for a little bit. All right, that's good. I think we're all a little tired. It felt like he was trying, also when he was breaking. He was trying to do like trying to test the brakes every time.

So let's see how fast we can go and just throw down the brakes. And so... I hate this. So, I mean, we're doing all right. Eventually, he starts talking more, which is fine, whatever. And he tells me all about... He grew up on this farm in Ohio, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, we're becoming buddies.

And all of a sudden, he just goes, we're going to, you know, we're going to take this route instead. We're going to turn right, right here. And then we just hear people that my kids in the back seat go, oh, oh, oh. And he's like, I know, I know, I know. And what is this? And Hattie goes, Rosie threw up.

Rosie threw up everywhere. Because this guy's driving terribly. This guy's, this guy's. So Rosie gets car sick. And I'm like, and he's like, ah, that's. And I was like, oh, no, no, no, no. My daughter just threw up in the back seat. Oh, that's kids for you.

That's kids. I'm like, can you pull over, please? Like, there's a gas station right here. Can you pull over this gas station? He's like, yeah, we can pull over. We got a vacuum. probably this guy says we'll get that vacuum right up. And he's like thinking it's funny.

He's like, that's kids. I remember when I had two kids. They would do that too. I was like, yeah, for your driving, you loser.

And so we like pull in, but we're already running a little bit late, you know. I'll go inside. I'll get some, uh, some, you know,

some drama mean from the counter and yeah, get in her system. She'll be fine. Yeah, yeah, mind if I go get a black coffee real fast? Why they clean this up? He goes,

I was like, yeah, get out of my face, dude. It's like that humid, like Florida morning, like, dewy. Doey,

muddy, no. And just, so Rosie, we're, we're cleaning her up. It was three kids in the very back seat. So Hattie is like,

leaning as far as she can, not looking at the, not looking at the throw up. You know, Bo, I'm like, Bo looks like he's about to lose it. So you didn't evacuate the van. Like,

well, he's kind of being cleaned up while they're in it. Rosie evacuated the van to get, uh, a costume change. Uh, Hattie just,

yeah, like stuck to the window, basically, like Spider-Man. And Bo might have gotten out. Catherine and I were flying all around. Catherine has a history of like car sickness. Like,

and so I'm like, and I had the thought, I was like, if I'm feeling car sick in the front seat, Catherine's definitely feeling like there. And so I was like, all right, you go in the front,

I'll go in the very back and I'll sit in the puke seat, you know, and we'll put Bo in the, no, we put Hattie in the middle because she said her stomach was hurting. So anyway,

there's three in the middle, me and Bo back in the back because Rosie's, you know, feeling bad. and like literally dude we got so close four minutes away you know one yard line no Henry just oh oh oh I forgot I forgot that's kids for you oh yes dude and I like I got I got a look from Catherine at this point I go I go sir can you please just slow down and stop driving a

little bit recklessly please and Catherine just looked at me like she just goes I just want to get there she like looked back she's like I don't just want to get there. Let him go pedal to the metal. Oh, dude. Oh, it's like, oh my gosh. But I forgot on the way out of the gas station the first time with Rosie, we, it's hard to, it's hard to describe. I mean, it's basically like, just a two lane road this way, and there's the gas station here. And there's like a turn lane in the middle for people coming this way. Okay. Okay. Got it? I know it's not very, whatever. Basically, he just doesn't even like slow down. Like, just like, and we have to go this way. He just like turns and gets into this turn.

turn lane. Oh, wow. And there's all these cars. He's in the wrong lane and he's perpendicular. Yes. Well, he's, now he's parallel to these cars. And he's just about to just get over. And I, this is when I yelled like, because I was like afraid he was going to get in a car wreck with like, I just go, brother, there's a car right there. And I'm in the very back seat. And he goes, I'm in the turn lane. He's like defending himself. And I was like, you were about to go over there. He's like, I see him. I see him. Oh, the temper. Like, it was, I was just so, Catherine, Catherine was like, careful. She could tell I was getting, but I was like trying to defend it's your kids.

And it's not like you're afraid of something happening. Two things have already happened. I guess at that point. One puke has already happened. I don't think he realized that was his fault at all. Like there's evidence to your actions. Like, Rhodes, he's never thrown up from driving, like, ever. Bo, I think has one or, once or twice.

But like, never, dude. And I'm like, this is bad. And so, and I just, it was. It was just like, just wait, please, just. get to the airport and then Henry just started. Catherine luckily had a bag. You know, Catherine in her bag. Threw it in there.

Did all right. But literally we were like stripping Henry down naked on this like sidewalk of the airport. Like people are like getting out of their like Uber's like, hey, good morning. And Henry's like. And we just have. And that's the other thing is because we're flying, you're not allowed to have water on the plane. And so we had like no water to like, like we had just a little bit of water left in

Catherine's water bottle. And then once you get on the plane, yeah, you're trying to fly. Can we get a gallon of water for a family of six? Dude, it was wild. So all to say, we made it, we made it back, they did fine, everything's okay, but it was for those times. It sucks, suck. Wow.

The one convenience of this is like an easy, quick drive and an easy quick flight, and the drive was not so easy or quick. It's, I mean, I don't know, sometimes I feel weird complaining about that stuff. When you, like, you pay someone to do something for you, it's like, yeah, that's a, that's a luxury. I don't care what it is, to pay someone to do something that you could do and then to complain about it, but it's like, that is, it's dangerous. I thought about saying, get in the passenger, see you.

I'm driving. I'll just do it. I'll still pay you. There's something to do it. Like, this is stressing me out, and I could do this better. Like, I don't know if you'll remember this, but I believe it was Rachel and I's flight, or we hired, like, this taxi to get us to the airport. We were going to Portugal. For some reason, I think of, like, a Buick or something like old car.

It was a grand marquis. I still remember, like a 1994 grand marquee and an old man driving in the snow. I mean, there were conditions involved, but still is like, you are not, like, good enough to be doing this. and it's dangerous and it's endangering all of us. And I'm just white knuckling. I just hate this feeling. Oh. Like you're not in control of your own like safety.

Yes. You're literally at the mercy of somebody. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And I even thought about that in Malaysia. You know, I'm just taking so many Ubers with just complete strangers.

You know, we barely even speak the same language, but you're in charge of my life. You know, it is crazy. But I never felt in danger there. Honestly, the roads are so chaotic. No one's on their phones because you would get an accident if you were ever on your phone. A lot of honking. Uh, no, not too many white people.

Okay. What'd you say? Oh, honking. Honkings? Um, no, it was mainly Asians. And no, I didn't notice that in Malaysia, not very honky. Okay. Philippines, it got honkier.

Yeah. Australia is super honky. Yeah. They call them bogans down there. Anyway, so that was, I mean, that was my. That's kids for you. It's about the only other. Oh, we also played a really fun game.

I thought it was fun. Uh, programs Brad came out in the pool. one day near the end. And I was just, I had the kids eating out of the palm of my hand. I was just like, basically I was just playing this game where I'd go down the line. And I would just throw the ball at them and ask him a question. If they caught the ball, one point. Answer the question right, one point.

Answer the question right and caught the ball. But I answered it before they caught it, three points. No, six points, six points. If they did both of them together, three points. Anyway, or they could have an option where I just threw the ball. I call it a fast ball, eight ball, where I just threw it pretty hard at their face. And if they caught it, they get eight points. No questions.

Just catch it. Eventually, that's all the kids want to do. I just got to smoke some kids. Zipping them in there. It was great. That was fun. Just literally, I think I smoked my nephew in the face a few times. And he loved it.

He thought it was hilarious. Like, so that was fun. But anyway, yeah. Good times. Jake, you take this one. Five, six, seven. Here we go. Today, it's going to be the day.

Gonna drink some coffee too. Today By now you should have somehow realized Today you got a brew I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do Today Yeah

because maybe may beans You could use code GRKC And after Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans. There's the rhyme we've been looking for. Mastorosa.com, GRKC, 10% off. Today.

Today. Oh, my. Speaking of programs, I got to definitely use that muscle yesterday. And I'm learning. more and more. I guess sometimes we know we talk about when we podcast, it just feels like, it's just us three. You've got to say anything. Yeah. It's just us. And I'm learning. We have a lot more Friday fans, I think, listening to this and I thought. So when I, when I give teasers, when I throw things out there, a lot of people are finding out stuff before

they're supposed to because I say it on this podcast. So I've got to be a little more careful, but it's not a huge deal, but like things that we want to keep secret. But we're doing limited edition paddle drops this whole summer. The cream cycle came out last week. It's sold out. you know, everything's going well. And so in preparation for our next one, I think I've mentioned this. At one point, I wanted to dress up like Kiss. We decided against that. So instead, we wanted to do full music video and not as Kiss, but just kind of like generic rock band.

Just 80s. Yeah, 80s rock. And so we put the kind of pieces together. Me and Nathan Coley were a Journey Bible church a couple weeks ago. All right, they gave us permission. All right, we're programming the lights. All right, we got, you know, the projector, we got, whatever, doing what we need to do, get all that set up. Timon comes back from who knows where, his sabbatical, and he's going to come film for us.

Nathan's going to do photos, whatever this. Isaac gets back from China the night before. Okay. Everything's coming together. And we did that shoot yesterday. And I think it was one of the more fun shoots I think I've ever done, especially with Friday. Yeah. It was just so fun.

was your perspective like i had a great time it was like it because it felt like it had been forever since i had filmed something because like i was gone for a weekend i feel like i hadn't really shot something before so it was like oh yeah i'm back in love with with filming stuff it was great yeah i don't know i think it went super well i uh i assigned scott as the lead singer of course yeah um Isaac was our drummer some sort yeah well had wigs oh you all did okay and uh i bought us all outfits lead singer that's an interesting name interesting name for that you mean main leader. The main leader.

Rachel was there. She's off school now. So she's just kicking it, whatever I'm doing. So she came by and stopped by. And I always gave Rachel a hard time because her and her dad both, they will get 80% of a term correctly. Or they almost call it the right name, you know, with a lot of things. And she did that multiple times yesterday. But one of them, she was like, so how did you guys decide that Scott would be the main leader?

Do you mean lead singer? What do you mean main leader? Yeah. The general cult leader here? But Scott did an unbelievable job. I also thought Scott would be the right choice because I think some people are, so we made a song on AI.

Yeah. Most people are probably going to know that, but I was like, if anyone could be believable, I was the lead singer, it would be more a Scott than me and Isaac, I feel like. Right. So Scott is, in my opinion,

the best character out of the three of you. Like he can give him a costume and he really. Yeah. He's not quite as, natural as a normal guy as I think the two of the rest of you guys are but like as the like the one where he did like all the different states playing pickleball yeah like that's definitely that's just like that's he's better at that you guys are better at like just being normal guys yeah so we let scott really we just took the governor off and let scott go yesterday and it was so fun Isaac meanwhile is like it's too bad I mean Scott and I are having the time of our lives like this is so funny this is so funny you know we got the lights and we got the music and everything And Isaac was like, I think I've come back with something even worse than last time. He was like, last time, digestively, yes, it was rough, but I never felt that bad.

It was just like weird, whatever, results. He's like, this time I feel awful. And we're like, ah, sorry, bud. We're having the time of our lives. Do you think you could drum one last time? Oh, that's rough. That's, oh, poor guy. He's in the drumming cage.

And, you know, at one point we looked in there, we're like, oh, my gosh. I think Timon said, sorry I gas chambered you because we had the fog machine going. Oh. Found a fog machine on Facebook marketplace, like eight houses down. That's fun. Yeah. We didn't pick that up. Fog machine worked great.

And so, anyway, had so much fun. I asked time. We just shot this yesterday, but I had time in, like, can you just put together just 20 seconds of something? Just a sizzle reel. Just quick sizzle. Good. Yeah, good word.

Yeah, if you have headphones in reach, might be worth thrown on to you. I don't think might have plugged in, but I've seen this a thousand times already. This is for Brad and the ghosties at this point. So this is what it looks like. The next or a pro drop. Final video player. That's what we're using, huh? I don't know.

Hold on. Whoa. Hold on. Final video. Wow. We're having a skillet. Is your main singer here? There we go.

All right. That's cool. Look at already. Yeah, one second. Let me turn this up a little bit. You know the BDA guy. Is that you? Yeah.

Like a weapon fully insane. Oh my gosh, dude. I love his crop top. We would giggle every time. He would like do anything with his hands. Yeah, you're right. It is a crop top. Rachel cut that yesterday for us.

Oh, a little like... Nice cut job. Fred Flintstone style. Yeah, a little bit. Kind of the triangle cut. Wow. That's a great screenshot right there. Yeah, it is.

That's a thumbnail right there. That is a great shot in general. Coley actually was taking pictures is when this happened. So we've got an unbelievable looking picture of this where you can't tell that Scott jumped off of steps. Oh, okay. It just kind of looks like Scott is soaring through the air. Oh my gosh. Pretty great. Look at you. You even have like the gloves on your hands. Oh, yeah. That is something to be able. What does Scott's shirt, live free and die young? Live fast, die young. Yeah, live fast, die young. All right, that's such a sick picture.

You guys got like the sleeves of the tats. Tattoo arm sleeves. Oh my gosh, dude. Y'all went all out. Yeah, Jake, good job with the outfits. Thank you. Honestly, I couldn't even like recognize any of you. Like that was what was so crazy.

Yeah, I sent this to my sister. I sent like a behind-the-scenes video to my sister. And she was like, that's, this is so hilarious. Wait, is that Tyman? I was like, yeah, Tyman was filming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't even know how to answer it. Isaac is just fully unrecognizable.

No, yeah, he just looks like. Long hair. And then an hour later, we're not even texting anymore. my sister goes, oh, wait, that's you guys. Yeah. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this is what I did today. This is what I did to earn money today.

This is how I worked. So, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty great. Really fun stuff. It was so fun. I mean, I even texted her a group chat later and I was like, forget the like 15 minute in-depth YouTube video whenever we launch a paddle from here on out.

Maybe we just music videos only. Just AI music. That was so fun. It's still relatively easy. So, yeah. We just had a blast yesterday. It was a good one of the last days spent in Kansas City with the boys. I feel like somebody else.

I can't think of how that parallel. I feel like somebody has done something like that where it's like, this is how we release things, but I can't remember. It was just a certain kind of commercial. I can't think now. Death Leopard. They would release music. It was, yeah, very similar, Def Leopard.

That's so fun. You guys looked awesome. And the lighting was awesome, too. That was impressive. Yeah, I think. how did Nathan like get the did he program all those or like how did that work because I I mean I was in I guess I was in charge of like some of the like more I guess like lighting non-church lighting I guess I was like figuring out but there was like lights yeah we met with the guy at church who

does like the AB stuff for journey bubble shout out Jonathan came a couple free paddles and anyway we told him what we wanted he kind of programmed it and then told us how to like work it and also kind of tell us, like, if you want anything different, you can do this, this and this, but cool, kind of just let it run. Yeah. Dude, and, uh, my neck is legitimately like so sore today. I went to flush the toilet this morning and I was like, ooh, gosh. Like, you play pickleball 17 times a week and like, but yeah. You don't rock at pickleball, dude. Actually hurts to like move my neck down. Like, oh, yeah. I just headbang for two hours yesterday and paying for it. Are you aware that you were playing a bass guitar?

Yes. Yeah. I played, I mean, I fake played bass the whole time yesterday. Yeah, I wasn't strumming or anything.

That's good. That's awesome. Was Scott, did Scott ever strummed the paddle? Yeah, yeah. Oh, we all took turns. I mean,

there is some pretty hilarious footage. Because, like, all right, let's film what wants, and we're just doing and we're just playing their instrument. Scott's singing,

all right, we did that three times. All right, now let's get individuals, so to speak, of just like things we can cut to. Okay, we got all that.

Okay, now let's do a slow, our version. Okay, we got all that. Okay, now let's just like do some weird stuff or just whatever. It's all at one point, you know, Scott and I are back to back. Yeah. You know, doing stuff. Yeah. And then at one point, I just did the plucking and he did the cords of the base. And, you know, like, we're just like doing weird stuff that no band would ever actually do. That's awesome. Yeah. Oh, we had fun. It felt very programsy. Just like, you give me a theme. You give us a stage. It's a great example of like,

imagine what we would do as programs guys now. Because like that video is better than anything we've ever done because we didn't have a good enough technology back when we were there. Yeah, yeah, we were limited. Like we, and it was like, man, we could do a video, but it's going to take, you know, I don't know, like 15 hours to upload all that stuff to the computer. And the video guy, I mean, he's working on the term video right now.

He's so busy. He's out at Archery doing interviews. I can do it on mine. Mine's a MacBook Pro, you know, it's like, all right. But it's still pretty laggy. Yeah, I have like, I think I have four gigabyte hard. drive or four gigabyte flash drive like it's like yeah i mean yeah look at what we could have done we could have done some crazy stuff yeah so that's so fun i love it yeah you should do more i think

maybe the thing i'm thinking of is not the same thing by any means but okay go you know they would just go so hard every song it was that's what they decided to do is like our album every single song is going to have its own music video i think is what they did and like the best music videos Incredible artistry. Yeah, yeah, I've seen some of those. Those are crazy. That's not what I was actually thinking of, but I think that's what I was thinking of.

Yeah, that's kids for you. That's awesome. All right, so, but we should not say too much about future stuff on Friday. I don't know. It's just like, there is an exciting nature to this because it's like, we are going to tease, like, our outfits and like that we're on a stage,

but no one was like why we're doing this. Or like, what's coming? So that's why I'm like, I guess I should keep the illusion alive a little bit and not say exactly what we did and everything. So yeah, it's just fun. And in reality, it's like we don't even need these videos to help sell the paddles. It's an excuse to make good videos and to remind people that we do this better than anyone else.

We're more fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're the fun one. Yeah. I said, I said hashtag J.C.N this morning. We've never used that before. Any guesses? J.C.N.

After time and sit that, I was like, yeah, dude. J.C.N. Okay. Okay. Okay. You got it. There's no way. No,

there's a way. There's a way. You're pretty good at guessing on this podcast. Okay, wait. Give me a little more. You said you texted it to your friends. Like the, no,

to like me, time and Nathan, Scott and Isaac. JCN. When Timit's video over, I go, yeah, we are.

No one else is doing this. We're crushing the content. No one else is going to come close to this. JCN. JCN. Just saying. Just saying. Just seeing.

Just saying. Is it just? No. It's not even a... Jake, Cully. It's not even like a... It doesn't even make sense. Yeah.

J. It's not J. It's not J or Jha. No, your lips are not together. Ha. This is tough. Ha. Hickama.

Yep. Hickama cucumber. Cucumber. Chilly. Yeah. J.C. N. No one's doing...

No one's doing this. JCN. No, no other brands coming close to this. I'm so confused about, like, is it a, you,

Yola, Yola can never. Yola can never. Yola can never. That's amazing. How is, well, maybe we should.

Not good. Really? Yeah, that's fine. It's a pretty crazy stuff, but I, I should be careful on a podcast.

Not good. But, yeah, so like, going to be a good part of the movie, got to be a good part of the documentary. You got to be a good chapter in the memoir.

Sometimes I like to say, I'm growing up a little bit with this one. You know what I mean? Like I grew up a little bit when my basement filled up with sewage. You grew up a little bit when you had two pukes in one drive. Yes. Yes. Dude, honestly, Catherine and I, as far as like team were one and the same kind of thing, A plus. Catherine at one point at the airport, like, while, you know, puke is everywhere.

and she just is like, oh my gosh, that was so crazy. And I just go, not yet, not yet. We're not to the, we're not to the reflection phase yet. We're not done. Yeah, we're not in our driveway yet. I did. I was like, we're not, you can't, you can't think it's over yet. Don't let your guard down.

She's like, you're right, you're right. Okay, okay. We're still in it. Sixth inning. Come on, guys. Yeah. But, you know, you do, you grow up a little bit. Yeah.

And it's fine. It's still for the most part, I'm pretty hands off with the legal stuff. But yeah, someday a bunch of this will come to light. We'll get to talk about all of it. It's kind of crazy. Sorry about it. It's okay. Going to Phoenix, nonetheless.

Timon, I would love to hear what you want to talk about, but here's what I want to talk about with you is I saw you post something. I think it was you that posted this on Facebook about somebody in your family's not supposed to have candy. Can I share my mince with them? Yeah. And a pretty overwhelming majority of people voted that mince are not candy. I harshly disagree.

I strongly disagree. I was surprised. I voted that they were candy. They're absolutely candy. Especially, it's in the context of chick-fil-a-mints, which are some of the candiest mints, I feel like. Yes. So good.

Like, you can have, you know, maybe, maybe like, what's a good breath mint? Like an altoid or something like that? Maybe that's not candy, maybe. Because it's like, it's a little bit more just harsh. Yes. But chick-fellet mints are, they're totally candy. Those things are buttery candy.

Yeah. They're so good. They're on like the list of like things you don't get for yourself, but every time they're around, you take one. Right. Kind of thing. To be fair, for those that voted, like, in the poll, I said mints, not chickfly mints. Like, I explained the context.

I feel like it would have been kind of clear. But, like, I don't know. It was an interesting response. It feels like some people are utilizing them more as breath mints. Yeah. But even then, like, that's fine, but they're canned. Like, I think even peppermints are candy. Really?

I think so. When I saw this poll, I didn't have a strong opinion. I kind of was like, oh, what do I think about this? Like, where would you find? peppermints at the store? What aisle? You wouldn't find it in the bread aisle? Because there's not bread. Are peppermints the ones that are circular with like red on the outside? Are you kidding me? You're serious? You're right though? Yeah. Good job. I would say those are definitely candy. Why? Because they're so aren't those super sweet? Yeah. Okay. Great. Yeah, peppermins are candy.

They're in the candy. They just feel so far below other things that are candy. Well, they're not, I didn't say, they're not good. You know, it's just like, oh, I hate to even put them in there because they're just going to get, you're going to get bullied. If they're in a jack-a-lantern with all the other candies, they have no friends besides other mints. They are like, yeah, pack of gum. Like, we have a candy jar at home, and they're at the bottom and they're not, they're not getting touched. They're like kind of like melting to the jar. But they're there. Only mints left for the mints to get chosen out of the candy jar.

I, yeah, strongly feel like they're, I mean, that's where you find them in the store is. It's a candy aisle. I feel like their own category. It's like plasma. Okay. Water. So, no, liquid gas. What do you say?

It's the same thing as gum? Yeah. Really? Gums are in mint category. Just mince is it, mince is its own category. Yeah, it's like this weird like Vatican City type thing. Like, okay, I guess you could be your own country if you want. It's like, don't bother us.

The mints are within the candy aisle, like surrounded by other candy. Yeah, it's like that. It's a Vatican City thing. I can respect that. I still think I think you're wrong, but I think I think I think I can respect that. So. I just feel bad for them.

They're going to get bullied in the jack-o-lantern. That's what it comes down. Well, so are the bit of honey. So are the now and later. So are the purple toots. The pink tootsie rolls. Yeah, just the colored tootsies. No offense.

Anyway, but. That was a fun debate. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, I just saw that. And I wanted to make sure that time was here for it. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.

Dude, I just saw some run down. How do we not talk about this when we already talked about bin Laden? Hello, Afghanistan. Dan. Oh! We texted about this. So, Gans. So, Gans.

It's like Gaines, but Gans. What up? Gans. I'm making Gans. I'm Gans in here, boy. Yeah, that protein. That's right. Making Gans.

So I got an email. I mean, I signed up for something probably four years ago, and I still get emails for it. And it's just like, here's your weekly pod roll update or something on like the charts. And for whatever reason I looked at it this week and it was like, hey, you're doing well in Afghanistan, and then I look into the details, and it says that we are the number one, is it overall podcast? I thought we're, maybe number two, number two overall podcast in Afghanistan.

That's what it is. Improv comedy podcast, I thought. I didn't see number two overall. Yeah, it was overall, which really got my attention. Let's see. In the category of all podcast in Afghanistan, we are number eight. but of every podcast in the world in Afghanistan

we're number eight allegedly according to this I mean the number they have to have like less than a thousand listeners total or something like I don't know how we did this yeah

because we still it's not like our numbers have gone up dramatically also sup Grenada sub sub nades sub India number two

in Granada we're getting there in Nepal Brazil is kind of crazy though Like Brazil's a huge country So So wow So so so up Gann Is all we're trying to say

Gans So up Gans Pretty fun So also I'm like Does Carlos just blow and smoke To sell us something here From Carlos from pod status Pod status

Yeah I don't know Hello how's it going Those runners are ranking very well in Afghanistan I don't mean like genuinely It probably just takes a couple of troops over there whose wife is obsessed. You got to watch this clip.

Yeah, maybe that's it. I mean, what if this was like how we found out like, you know, like, I've seen people like, they will follow politicians, stock trades to know what major news is coming

or even of just like, yeah, combat is coming, war is coming or whatever. Like this is how we find out like, oh, the U.S. must be planning something in Afghanistan because our listenership has gone up We must have more troops in Afghanistan than we used to have. Maybe, dude.

We are the new Nancy Pelosi. People track us. That's right. I mean, grenade is next. FIi. Grenada's coming. I don't have a real good sense of where that is.

And I play MAPDAP daily. If you don't know, then what do you think? Timon and I feel like, 9.43 today. Dude. Whoa. I keep forgetting to play.

I honestly kind of selectively forget because I guess get embarrassed every time. I don't know, man. I just forgot to play. They're still doing that map tap website. People are still into that. I thought they shut that down. Yeah.

Apparently, have you heard a sports tap or whatever, Geosports? No. Is it fun? It's just like you would do with MapTap, except for you have to know the answer the sports question first. So it's like Donovan Mitchell played his college ball here. Okay.

And so you have to know he went to Louisville, and then you have to know where that is on the map. So I'm really good at the first thing, real bad. I'm really bad at like United States geography. We should, we'll, we should collab. Yes, we should. You get the first answer, I'll get the second answer.

Wednesday. We'll do it Wednesday. But yeah, it's kind of fun. That is nice. That's a good one. But it's not always America, but a lot of them are just, you know,

we dominate sports. Sports and comedy and just entertainment. America's doing all right. Just everything, man. Let's just be like super ignorant. We have the best of everything. Wine, cheese. We have the tallest mountain.

Yes. The most people. Yes. Well, the most like good people. The easiest language. to learn. I knew English by the time I was like four. I didn't know any of the other languages. That's right. Best singers.

Best bands of all time. Best, like, musical influence, best art scene. Yeah, most like, just the most amount of, like, architecture originated from us. Like, we come up with a lot of stuff. History. Yeah. Artic's history. Riches history for sure. Yeah. Jesus was American.

Jesus, Jesus coming back to America. Did you hear it? Independence. Yeah. Independent. Yeah, it is cool. He's coming to a suburb. Like, one of the not super great suburbs of Kansas City, that's where he's is that not his brand?

Yeah, that's a gospel for you. Is that not the manger of a city right there? Mm-hmm. The stable. You see somebody, we talked about how like, everything's in English, it's crazy, everywhere. And somebody was like, you guys need to get over yourself. It's actually, you know, because of the UK.

And I'm like, you're not American if you're saying that. Oh, yeah. I think it's because of the entertainment I was talking about. I mean, every major song is, you know. Yeah. We're doing it. The U.S. exports, music, and movies better than anything else. Did you notice this in Malaysia?

The songs, were they listening to the song, like American songs that were popular six months, nine, 12 months ago? Did you notice that at all? I didn't. Did you notice that in Spain? Yes. Moves like Jagger was huge. Like, guys, moves like Jagger was like three years ago. That's funny.

I think now because Spotify is a little more global. Like when we were in the car with them, they were listening to Spotify Top Hits. Like the same playlist I would listen to here. Okay, okay. Yeah, it was like the, what is it called? The, not factory stores. The things, the nice stores.

The apartment stores? Thank you. Yeah, would just be playing those. Older music. Yeah, like Ed Shearin. It's like, uh, almost. I should have paid more attention to that, but no, I think they were up to date from what I could tell.

Hmm. So, um, yeah, shout out Afghan is Stan. Yeah, shout out again. If you're listening

in Afghanistan, then you have to comment. Comment somewhere. Let us see it. Let us know. And you know what? Comment in Afghani. If you're Afghani,

that'd be cool. And we'll do the show translation thing. We'll do it. Because you know what? I never do that. And I will for that. Um, In a farmer's farm.

Yeah. First kick I took was from a cow. Yeah. We were Formed in the USA We were formed in the US in the USA From the pitch to the stands To communities around the world

The beautiful game is coming to our beautiful country Uniting fans around a shared passion Now you have the opportunity To hold this chapter of Canadian soccer history In the palm of your hands score the FIFA World Cup $2.26, $1 coin today. Look forward in your change.

Keep it going, but lighter. Everyone out there, I want you to put your, hold your meat high. Yeah, I see that hand. Now, what if I told you all of this meat was farmed right here in the USA package, supplied, shipped,

and eventually eaten on your tables and on your doorsteps right here in the United States that's all thanks to good ranchers.com they're the official sponsor here of the Grandview Amphitheater. Thank you guys for coming out. We're going to wrap it up here.

You guys have been a great audience. Sing it along with you. Come on. Thank you. We've been the B-strings. Don't get that joke later. Oh. Okay. My Airbnb that I'm almost done with, I'm getting close.

My neighbors, I guess I'm interesting neighbors. This is the second Airbnb. Yeah, we'll call it. I'm calling it the Grove. Okay. That's right. That's right. I just realized I made the mistake last time of like naming the Wi-Fi

something kind of random. I named it after the guy who lived there before. So I was like, Bail's house. I was like, well, that's anyway. But then I didn't want to change it because I don't have to change all my smart device that already connected the Bails house. So I just called the Grove this time.

Um, one of the neighbors is this odd dude. I don't know how to describe him besides just odd. The name's John. Like I, like he's like one of those guys you talk to me. He's like, you could tell he's like thinking like this. Oh yeah. Like, like he like, like, he claims he is a real estate attorney. He drives a 2003 Ford, uh, focus with no hubcaps.

He does a lot, which is a lot of pro bono. I also don't have all of my hubcaps. And he also pulls into his house at three o'clock PM. shirtless on like a Tuesday. Okay, that one's harder to it. That one's harder to explain. Okay, he has a lot of West Coast clients and I can't explain this.

I'm like, like, you do? Anyway, and he lives in a house that his parents owned and gave him. And he's like 55. Resourceful. I got it. Anyway. Smart with his money. So I think it was one of those things

where like I judged the book by the cover as far as his car is really like, run down. And so therefore I kind of viewed his house as rundown. but then you take the car out of the equation and you look and it's like, his yard is actually pretty immaculate.

Okay. His house is really well taken care of. But we have one of those trees that's kind of like on both our properties and it sheds, whatever, rains down gumball. You know what those gumball things are? Oh, yeah.

Those are terrible. And I noticed no gumballs on his side of the yard, but over against his wall, a big old rake. I think he's raking all his gumballs into my yard. Oh, there's no fence. No, no, this is front yard. Front yard.

Like driveway and driveway. In between driveway and driveway, that little patch of grass. He's raking gums? I think he's raking gums. Do I rake back? Do I talk to him? Do I just suck it up, which I probably will, but it's more fun to think about the other things. You set up a ring camera in his raking direction?

I might need to. Yeah, that's kind of fun. Yeah. But I just noticed, like, all of a sudden, I'm like, oh, man, because Catherine kind of was like, do you think he's like raking? There's a rake right there. I was like, no. I mean, look at his, wait a way.

second. This yard looks really good. His yard looks really good. And then I'm like, oh, this guy's been raking balls. And he didn't even put away the evidence. No, he's kept the rake out. It's a messy crime. I don't. Yeah. Not except.

Crime of passion, maybe second degree. Yeah. The last year or so, this house has been vacant. So maybe it's just... He got in the habit of raking his... Yeah. He's been putting his balls wherever he wants. He doesn't care. Now all of a sudden there's a new sheriff in town saying, not in my yard.

Yeah. Not in my yard, pal. So... Keep his updated. on this. I will. I also like, feel like having an Airbnb as your neighbor is kind of a, whatever you want to call it. I don't want to upset them too much. Yeah. You know, I want to keep the piece as much as I can. Yeah, that's fair. Because if something's wrong, I want them to tell me and not like the cops or something. Yeah. If he needs to rake a few gumballs to make things even, so be it. If that's what it takes, bud, I'll clean up your gumballs.

Gumballs candy? Candy? Yeah, that's candy. It's gum. No, I wouldn't say candy. remotely. What? Wait, it's gum. And gum is like gumbo is definitely candy for the record, but really? But it's also gum. So therefore is it is it that's more candy than the mint category. Because it's not minty. Really? Gumbo are minty. Really. Look at a gum ball. Gumb balls are like up a gumbo. I know what a gumball looks like. Gumbo's like red stuff all over and white. He's looking up gum. Oh, amazing world of gumball. Amazing world. Uh, type in candy. Gumb ball gum. There it is. That's. Yeah. That's. That. That. thousand percent candy. It's just gum. I think if it's not mint gum, it looks different.

Definitely candy. Nothing that colorful is not candy. Hmm. I could go for something right now. Oh, I don't know. I do not like gumb balls. Really? Just strong feelings towards gumbballs? I don't, I just think, like, gum. I don't like gum that's not minty.

Okay. Like, on, it's like, there was that like watermelon gum back the day and like juicy fruit. It was just like, dude, what about, uh, what I was. Oh, no. Hubba, cotton candy. Yeah. Unreal.

That was pretty sugary. So good. I think big gumball did a good idea because the only time I ever see gumballs is they are protected by like a glass case. No other candies like this. You don't walk into the movie theater and they've got a giant thing of Hershey kisses

that are like, no, I touch them, there you quarter and you can get something. Yeah, gumballs are protected. It's like a vault. It makes sense that you'd pay 25 cents for one of them. Yeah. Yeah, they did well because it's so fun to get one. Yeah. I think that they trick you with that because they're not actually that good.

Have they survived inflation or do you think they're like 50, 75 cents now for a gumball? Yeah, you got a tap to pay. Oh my gosh. I would be sad. I'd be sad if that happened. Because the twist of the coin is the best part. I do like that sensation. You can like hear when it like works. Yeah. Those are so satisfied. I like that vending machines have become modernized. Every now then you get into jam. You need, oh, I need a drink. I need some water. needs of pretzels. You don't have the right cash. A lot of those are tapped to pay now. Yeah. That's nice. It's fair.

Gumballs. But not gumballs. Protect gumballs. Yeah. Who do you think is more scared? Cigarette companies or gumball companies? Hmm. Because yeah, is there a gumball alternative taking away? Because like vapes maybe are like competition for cigarettes. Maybe. Like is there a new gumball? Who's, yeah. Who's the next gumball? They're called, um, zen. Yeah.

Maybe. my aunt, we would always go to this Mexican place called Don Cholitos in Kansas City. And it was truly mediocre, below mediocre probably to most people. But we loved it. And my aunt Cindy, every time we went, if she was with us, she would give us usually multiple quarters for like the candy machine and or arcade as we were leaving. It was great. I always got runs, though. It was a run's gone.

Runts. Runts were nice, dude. And don't talk crap about the banana runts. Because I love the banana ones. I didn't know what these were called. I was going to try to bring them up. These, like, I think, nowadays I don't know if I would like that.

Maybe I would still. They threw grape in there. They threw those like lime things. No, no, the. Look those blue ones. They threw apple in there. You didn't get blue ones in a lot of batches. Bananas are the best of the batch.

Thank you. I like the shape too. That felt nice in my mouth. Yeah. I want to say my mom for my, what are they call it, open house, like graduation party.

Grad party? I think she got a, like, she knew I love runs. So I think she got runs, but then I think she also did one with just bananas. That's all bananas. That's great. I know. She's awesome. I think January 1st, 2027.

I'm going to open up a pack of runts. A little runt rampage. I've never seen runs in a box like this in the lower right corner. I've only seen them in gumball-esque machine. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What about the candy cane rounds? I've definitely never seen that.

Seasonal runts? where oh the oh wow mini christmas can metro market Ryan Ccrest runs that retail rebel probably got some dude I did go on a little rampage of retail rebel a couple like maybe a week and a half ago I just decided Catherine loves paper plates okay but like they're kind of they're not super expensive but they're just expensive enough to where it's like we can't have paper plates all the time okay oh yeah what about if you bought it from retail revel and so I just I just bid on every random paper plate I could find on. Okay. And so we got like paper plates with like monkey, paper plates with ears on them. We got some Valentine's paper plates. But it's like,

they're just paper plates. She just likes them because they're disposable. Yeah. And you don't have to worry as much about the, you know, dishes and stuff. So we got, we'll hack for you guys. That's fun. You think I could sell my golf polos on Retail Rebel? I saw that you tried to sell those. Did you see him? And there was an option. It was like hide from friends. I was like, let them watch. Absolutely let them watch. Let them watch. How is it, uh, yeah, tell people about it. Oh, I just, I think I talked about it. At one point, I was going to give them all to Gunner. And then Trey said he sold his for like a thousand bucks.

I was like, I guess I'll do that. So I was just going to do it. This is news to me. Phoenix. I was like, hey, Mark, it's a little ripe. We're down there anyway for golf polos. And then as I was starting to see all I had, I was like, well, rather than have to have to pack all these up.

And I just try to sell them now. And so very quickly yesterday, I tried to count, you know, and sort them and how many do I have and tell in chaty ptie how much I have and like, look up the retail value of all these and give me a listing and yada yada yada and doing all this. away and just the ones that this is not counting the 40 I've probably given a gunner and Scott over there is I've got 89 items the retail value is like $5,900. It's crazy that I got for free. 89 items, they probably cost a dollar each. Who knows? Yeah, I don't know how much it cost to make those golf pull those four bucks maybe. Yeah. So anyway, um while I was at a stoplight on the way

to the music video shoot yesterday, I like, I'd already take pictures just like quickly listed them. Didn't do a great job. The pictures are terrible. I think I could have done a much better job marketing this if I had more time, but no bites yet. Tried to sell them for $1,600. Yeah. Because I was like, well, someone will like offer me $1,200 and then I'll say, great. Word of advice. I don't think you put the size on there.

I did select. You're right. I don't think I put it in the description. But somewhere in the drop-down, it's asked me for size and I put medium. You're right. I should. I think you wrote down entire, but you spelled it initre. Yeah.

But that's probably strategy. It's just, yeah, engagement bait. Yeah. Did you mean a nitrate or a tire? Yeah, that's stoplight for you. Anyway, so if you sell that, you're the luckiest guy in the world. Like you have the most favor with God I've ever seen in my life. Like, if you get that like $1,600 for that, I guess Trace said he sold his for a bunch.

Yeah, I don't know exactly what his hall looked like or exactly how much he sold it for, but anyway, that's probably going to happen. So I texted Peter this morning, the king of reselling. And I was like, hey, I just thought of this. You might, I don't know if you could get money out of this. Like, if you want to buy the bundle and then resell them individually, you probably could make some money off this. So he's like, yeah, I'll let you know.

What about, what's the latest with Honeyhole? Oh, Bethany Bellner. Is she still doing it? I don't know. If she is, she's not posting about it. Okay. Not for my eyes to see. This friend of Jake's from SVU, right?

Yeah, yeah. She was like one of those classic, like going to the thrift store reseller kind of thing. And she was doing well, seemingly for it. Yeah, she had a following and, yeah, really, really knew how to do it. It looked like the biggest grind in the world. Like just one at a time posting. Yeah. Those people are fun to watch.

There's a guy, Harry Tornado is his name, like his YouTube name. But he like, him and his wife just resell for living there. It's so fun to watch. You do any fan art of Harry Tornado? Should have missed opportunity. Yeah. Make him a logo, dude. Just like an unkempt tornado.

That's pretty fun. Yeah. I hope. Good luck. Retail Rebel have golf pillows on there? They have a lot of clothes, and I always skip the clothes. Like an in knee tray?

Neetre. No, I don't think so. Every once in a while they have some shoes, I'm like, what size is that? It's never my size. It's always like size eight. Dumb. Who's doing that?

So, anyway. So let me know if I should fight this guy with my gunball. Gumball yard. Dude, speaking of a fight, I, last week, I think it was,

everything always happens as soon as we get done recording, I feel like, but that afternoon we got on recording. And I think we left off when I said like, all right, we actually do have a house that were pretty like far down the road with like potentially renting, moving into. And I'm trying to remember exactly the order of events here,

but basically we had applied. They had asked us like, hey, there's six other families interested. What can you do to up your offer? I write a little essay, some little picture, we'll pay six months up front, you know,

just trying to do. what I can. They come back, say, homeowners loved your offer. Let's proceed. My offer, I'd said, you know what? Instead of 12 months lease, we would be willing to go to 18 months, and we could pay for six months up front. That was my, like, terms. And they said 24, correct? Yeah, and they said 24. So I was like, ooh, I don't know. I'll have to, like, think about this. I told him, like, there's some early termination stuff that seems pretty rough. Right. They came back and said, it has to be 24 months. This is what you asked for.

And we need to know if you're in in the next hour. Whoa. First of all, I didn't ask for this. I asked for 18 months. I was for 18 months. And need to know in the next hour, I feel very like,

bullied by this a little bit. At the same time, we're kind of running out of time and Zillow's drying up. There are not a lot of options on there. Desert. Yeah. Built the whole city.

There's no water. Yeah, right. So I actually, I mean, like, I'm telling Rachel like, hey, we got an hour to decide. What do you want to do? And like, I would assume without whatever that Rachel would just say, if you want to do it, do it. Is that true? Yeah. Yeah.

I say, okay. Oh, boy. All right. What do I want to do? Okay. And it was weird. I feel like I'm a pretty decisive person. Like for like 20 minutes, I actually didn't know what I wanted to do.

I didn't like that feeling. I never don't know what to do. And I actually was like, you probably never have this large of a decision either. Yeah, it's like 24 months. Wow, that's kind of a long time. But I mean, it's a good house. It's great. I mean, I don't know. What else am I going to find? There's no other options. You haven't even seen this house, though. I haven't even seen this house. I asked for a video walkthrough and they said, we can't do that at this time? I said, right on. You have an hour. Actually, 59 minutes now. So I said, okay, that seems, I said, like, let me think about this. Let me eat some lunch. Can I call you in 30 minutes? And then he didn't respond to that for an hour and a half. And I thought, so do I, do I have an hour? Do I have an hour? hour because you can't if you need to know right now and then you're not even respond to my email and so he then another guy pipes in who's in the email chain he's like sorry he got busy the hour starts now basically for real yeah yeah whoa said you like a countdown timer yeah

it sounds like all right so I guess we're not hopping on the phone you're like a game show it's like yeah and anyway the hour starts now hour starts now seriously seriously this time the hour starts now what were you want to talk to him about on the phone uh really I wanted to kind of get a vibe check. Like this feels like I'm kind of being pushed around and like I'm bullied. But maybe this is the nature of rentals when there's, maybe this is just supply and demand because that's kind of what he's telling me. He's like,

there's five of the families. They all live in Phoenix. They've been driving by the house looking at it. Like they're so excited. They want this so bad. We need to be able to tell them what's happening ASAP. So you need to decide. You've got first dibs.

And you have first dibs because of what? Because the homeowners liked our terms slash just like, I guess me and Rachel. They liked our photo. They want us to live there. So I was trying to get a sense of like, well, is this the homeowners who are giving us an hour? Are you being pushy? You bullying us? I get on the phone with him. I didn't like the vibe. So I made a decision there. And I would say slightly gave him a piece of my mind a little bit. Slight P-O-M. Okay. You do the little, I know the Jake like the grin, frustrated grin. You do that? You're like, guys. I mean, you said you had an hour. What's that about?

I know the Jake frustrated grin. I know what you're talking about. This was more, I would say, calm but firm. I basically just told him like, I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Yeah, I was disappointed. I said, look, I don't work in real estate.

I don't know how these things normally go. Maybe you're used to this. But I can tell you what I do know. I own an operated company. We do business in over 25 countries. And I would never put this kind of pressure on someone to make a decision of this magnitude that quickly. For that reason, I'm out.

Gamed a little shark tank there at the end. But that is how I felt. I was like, yeah. I mean, I have done a lot of deals, so to speak, and this feels kind of a red flag. So I wanted to let them know how I felt, and I'm out of here. I bet you're right as far as like supply and demand.

They're just like, the supply is high enough where we don't have to have great customer service. I think that's what it is. It's like, if this guy feels bullied, so be it. Okay. We'll just find somebody else that wants this. Yeah, I don't think I really change their behavior. at all. But I made my piece.

Okay. So you're... On the market. Okay. No, what's nice? I can't remember if I've said this on the podcast or not. But Kyle lives on the compound. Yeah. There is a family on the pound that is leaving for the summer. Dog pound. So they said,

who-hoo. They said, hey, if you need, absolutely need to, you can live in our house, like our renovated barn for two months. These are the people that don't have spell rhythm, though? That is correct. Yeah. They spelled rhythm incorrectly. All right. Your funeral, bud. It's a give and take. everything's a trade-off in life.

That's cool. Okay. That's nice to know that. Yeah, you have a safety. Yeah, that has helped kind of alleviate a lot of stress from this. Like, all right, it's not like we're going to move into a hotel or anything. We have a place. You have to move twice. We do have to move twice, though.

And now you can start looking for a house in two months. Now we can start. We don't have to, yeah. So we got two months before we have to do anything. Yeah, now it's, ooh, it's easy. You ever do one of those pods? That's what we did for a while, where we, like, moved all our stuff into a pod and then, like, stored it there for a while.

So once I decided, all right, I guess we're not moving to this house. The next morning is when I started making arrangements to get a storage unit and do all that. So that's all happening. I will say the very next morning, though, I was like, God, you're always looking out for you. I wake up early, a little J-Lag sticking around. And at 6 a.m., this rental goes live on Zillow. I happen to be awake for it.

So I, Rachel's not even awake, but I'm like, this is awesome. This is a great house. I know she'll like it. Yeah. I apply for this house 10 minutes after the listing went live. I go, oh, wow. It's over. We're in.

Yeah. And I go back to bed. And that's 6 a.m. our time. So, yeah, so it's 4 a. Yeah. So, yeah, it's pretty early for them. But hey, you listed it. And go back to bed, wake up.

Dang, they haven't replied. I was kind of hoping that would be fun. It's a surprise, Rachel. Hey, we got a house, whatever. And then the whole day goes by nothing. At 11.30 that night, she's like, hey, so sorry, crazy day. I'll call you tomorrow. I go, great.

Sounds good. The next day goes by. No phone call. So then like the next night, I'm like, hey, try not, I don't want to be a bother, just checking it. I want to make sure I didn't miss a call. Obviously, I know I didn't miss a call. Well, you didn't have your Apple Watch. And then my Apple Watch, that is a good point.

You have one hour. And that was, I mean, it's been like four or five days now. And they have not, it's just one of the situations like, I was trying so hard to give you money. Yeah. Oh, I want. I want to give you exactly what you want, right? which is like a tenant, and I can't get them to get back to me.

That's just kind of annoying. I don't know if this is true, but here's what I think is true. Okay. I think there's something, some law with rentals and stuff like that where the, like you're supposed to legally go

in the order that is applied, like give rights. I don't know if that's true. I felt like we should be first in line. But you got to be first in line. Oh, I was immediate. Unless there's some, you know, narcoleptic.

Yeah, narcoleptic. No, insomniac in Narglaaptic insomnia in Phoenix Kleptomaniac that's what it is right, yeah people like to steal sleep from other people I mean, yeah, no way other people

were up at that time. Yeah, and Zillow kind of will show you it'll say if it's a home for sale it'll tell you saves. But if it's home for rent, it'll tell you it says contacts, which I think means applications or maybe just means you contacted them in their inbox.

Oh, I see. You know, for 24 hours, there's only one contact. I was like, that has to be us. I just don't know what they're waiting. We want to rent this house. Please let us. Just reply to me. Yeah.

We are moving there in a week. Please respond to me. I remember when, I remember, I remember, I remember when I slept on crap. There was something so terrible about those sheets. Even your Even your Even Even my dreams had an echo

I can't sleep And then I went there I went there Cozyearth.com Slash Slash Slash Slash Goes Runners And I found

To my But it was all cozy It was all cause It was all causing And 20% of Timmy I remember when I remember I remember

When my sheets were bad It was terrible Couldn't get a lach nick asleep What did you say? Keep going I went and found a great website But so much more Govcore

GeoGio GoZirt.com I thought all three of us did great there. You were a good director. You guys sounded awesome. That's a good song. Good job singing it. I don't think I've ever heard the chorus to it.

I just hear like the first part done on like reals and stuff. Really? Yeah. So you just like learn that in five. Super hard song to learn. The lyrics is chorus are wild. I mean, it's like, how do you get the rhythms of that? Cozy earth's the best sheets around.

Best clothes around. It's true. I think I'm cozy. Legally they are. GRKC. 20% off. unofficially, Sele Green's favorite sheets. He hasn't said no. Yeah.

Yeah, so you're moving out of here. What's the plan for the next few days? Today is the last normal day in the house. Tomorrow, everything gets packed up. The next day, it gets shipped out. We have to be out of the house by like 8 a.m. Yeah. Let's go straight to the airport.

And then we are going to fly to Dallas. Then the day after that, I'm shooting that. I'm shooting that pilot. Right. Which did you realize that he's like wearing biblical clothes for this? Oh, that's. For some reason, I was like it was like modern day.

I remember you talking about something like maybe it was on correct opinions or something. It was like, oh, this is like Bible characters. Yeah. Yeah. Bible characters. Which is pretty funny. I did clarify.

We had a table read last Thursday night. Fun. Everyone at their own table. Yeah. You're doing like Hebrew accents, I assume. I did ask about that. I was like, is this like modern American accents?

because I was hoping so, and it is. Yeah. But I assume yeah, wigs and the whole outfit. It was it, how was it? Honest. We, well, so it was called table reeds. And then the director was like, honestly, I think table reads are kind of like awkward sometimes. And it's over Zoom.

It's not going to be that great anyway. I just want to kind of talk about the scene you guys ask questions. We'll go over it all. So it's okay. It was great. Super chill. Cool. Sounds fun.

The other people, the two angels in the scene, I kind of forgot to look them up afterwards, but it seems like they're pretty legit. one of the girl, they mentioned telling me about she's on some Hulu show. Okay. They all seem pretty legit and pretty professional, and they all seem like this is what they do. I feel like the odd man out. Oh, really?

Yeah. Not a bad way, but just like, that's fun though. They're like, industry people. Okay, these are people that really know what they're like, extra know what they're doing. That's fun that, like, it seems promising. I didn't want to ask this because it felt like an answer that I should know, but I was like, do I need to, like, fully memorize my lines?

Or is this, like, Instagram where it's like, you kind of just take it one at a time. I feel like I should probably memorize it. I think it's a pretty good idea to air on that side. It's probably not bad to be prepared. I don't think anybody's going to be like, you memorized your lines? That's inconvenient for us.

Yeah. How many lines do you have? Like enough to where you need to sit down and memorize them? Yeah, it won't take that long. That was funny during the music video shoot yesterday, Scott's got like four you know, lines to memorize for the song and he just puts his hands on his head and he goes, how did you rememberize 30 minute comedy set? And I go, well, I didn't do it the day of.

Did you, have you ever heard that story? Have you listened to Matthew McCona or read his book? No, but I heard his book is really, really good. So good. Right. So good, dude. It's, especially, you got, the audio book is so fun. Yeah.

Because he, he's, he's really good at reading it. But he tells a story in there about how, I don't know if it was like he was having a drought or if he was like, his big break, obviously was dazed and confused. Okay. All right, all right, all right. Yeah. You know, L-I-V-I-N, you know. And all that was like very improvised.

like not playing. He was not supposed to be like some iconic character in there. Really? He just happened to get one line and then they gave him a few more. And so then he kind of was like chasing that for a while of like, oh man, you know, I'm too rehearsed. I'm too, you know, whatever. So he's like, I'm going to go into this next, you know, movie that I'm in and I'm just going to learn the lines on the spot, basically like what you're saying. Okay. And he goes in. He hasn't even looked at the script. He's like, I'm just going to go in and just go quick.

I don't think he's like the main character in this thing. But he's like doing a scene or something. Apparently the entire thing was in Spanish. No way. I believe that's what happened. And so like, but he, he's like, from then on out,

I realized you need to be prepared in order to improvise better. Yeah. Like, I think that's how I remember the story. At least like, it was something like that where he's just like, you know, I've been in my head too much about this.

I'm analyzing the character too much beforehand. I'm just like my most, successful thing was when I just live free and just went for it, man. Yeah. So he did it. It's Spanish. That's so good. I'm pretty sure.

Yeah. It's funny. I looked at the script. Mine's in English. It won't be too much, though. It'll be easy. I mean, it's not a huge scene. It's cool.

So Rachel going out there with you and everything where she's going to sit back. Yeah. And that's something I'm like, she allowed to just kind of chill on set, probably. It seems pretty laid back. Just like demand, like, be very demanding. Like, my wife will be there. She'll have me, uh, my apple juice when I need it. Mm-hmm.

She has this thing. where she wants to touch my right shoulder at all times until it's time to until it's time to say action marker okay okay get up and off shoulder off thanks now now just like change your entire personality okay yeah so then from there this is the end oh yeah then Dallas to St. Louis yeah St. Louis to Phoenix okay wow the movers haven't given me a delivery day yet they don't know when they're going to get to Phoenix. So I might dip out of St. Louis early and I don't know, flexible, figured out. But you're going to have, you're going to have some adventures along

the way. Like there's some, something's going to happen. Some weird. It's going to happen. Within this all. Because like, you're going to think you're going to find a house and it's going to be like, maybe we need to go here. There will be more snip snaps between now and then for sure. But yeah, it's kind of closing in. Even the past week, it's been a lot of like noticing like, oh, is this the last time I'm going to do this or I like said goodbye to the people I play pickleball with. I was like, I don't, I guess I probably won't see you guys for a while, but right. Good stuff. Yeah, how long or how often do you think you'll come back? I'm sure Scott will be going to Phoenix more than you'll be coming here. Yeah. Why would you come

to Kansas City, I guess, for any reason? I don't know, it's hard to say. Maybe for elite. You don't really know. You got some good contacts there. Who knows? Yeah. Fun little tournament. Yeah. Yeah. Diamond. Time in's graduation from college. Time's college grad. Timon's choir concert. I'm graduation from voice lessons or whatever. Timon's great expectations, sensibility. I even said goodbye to my first watch waitress. She knows my name and knows my order, so I felt like I should tell her like,

hey, just a heads up, like, I'm moving. So don't be alarmed if you don't see me ever again. If there's a surplus of turkey sausage, you'll know why. Don't order more just for me. I'm moving. Her name's Panda. We got a good thing going. Panda?

Yeah. Fun name. Yeah. Apparently it actually is Amanda. but she said she had six amadas in her grade growing up. And so they all had to choose kind of different nickname. She was a made of panda, I got she wrote a panda. She's like, I know I'm an adult, but I just go by panda.

Pan, Pan, Pan, Pan, Pan, Pan, Pan, Pan. I say, well, Panda, I'm headed out. Have you heard, okay, this is like the most my sister-in-law thing ever. She's going to this end-of-year party for her parent-teacher, like PTO kind of thing that she's in. Okay. this, this private school in Dallas. Anyway, but it's like, they're like, oh, let's keep it light. Let's, let's have fun with it.

But let's do everyone come prepared with a conspiracy theory that they want to talk about. That's great. But then they gave like a list of like options of like, you could choose one of these. Let us know what you're going to choose so that people don't overlap. And some of them are like not light conspiracy theories. I'm like, don't talk about Sandy Hook. We don't need to talk about. But have you heard.

Yeah, that should not even be an option. Have you heard about the one about Pinas? Let's go ahead and trust the kids. No, what's the panda one? Oh, people in costumes? Yes. Oh, yes. I think I have heard.

Look at Panda conspiracy time. I think the idea is like no one's actually ever seen a panda. Like people think that pandas are just, yeah, people in costumes. At the zoo. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Like, I don't know. The pandas aren't real theories.

A tongue-in-cheek internet conspiracy, is it? It claims that giant pandas are actually humans in elaborate bear suits. The joke theory went viral on platforms like TikTok and Reddit, fueled by the animal, unusual human-like movements and the fact that captive pandas famously struggle to mate. The movement operates as a parody similar to the birds aren't real meme

using absurdity to poke fun at the ease with which misinformation. Okay, come on. That's not fun. There's some people out there, though, that are like, have you ever seen a panda in the wild? Yeah. You only see them in China.

Like, you know, all these different things. I mean, can you imagine time it? I can see a failed math teacher behind those eyes. Yeah. Yeah, that's not too crazy. I could buy that. Pain is not real.

Anyway. They're just kind of hanging out. They look like there's an old, I remember this like video, like back when I was probably 10, I've seen like five YouTube videos in my life. So like they all really stick with me. There was one that we would always watch as a family. There was like these two guys,

I think they were like Australian pranksters and they like dressed up as guerrillas at the zoo and like just really, realistic costumes and then it's like would slowly start doing more like suspiciously human-looking stuff and by the end I think one of them like gets in the truck that like the zookeeper left behind and it was pretty great it's like a core video memory that's awesome that's really great what a great idea yeah yeah what else was on the list do you remember suggested conspiracy theories trying to remember let's think the only ones I can remember like

the kind of dark ones let's think oh like the moon landing, I mean, like things you've heard of before. Any Nufflin in there? How Paul McCartney is not alive? We heard that? Okay. You hear that a lot about random stories. Like, oh, that's not actually Avril Lavigne.

It's a lot of people who are dead are actually alive. A lot of people are alive are actually dead. Yeah. Tupac's still alive. Elvis still alive. Have you seen that one? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Elvis, I don't know.

Kanye or something. Is replaced or something like that. Kanye is replaced. Yeah. Michelle Obama. about her replaced him yeah she's having a tough time with balls in her yard um gumballs gum balls gum balls gum ball machine uh i don't remember a very many 9-11 probably jfk probably yeah what else is in there i think something with uh yeah something with like Denver report

Denver airport was on there. Like the end slash the Illuminati, you know, that stuff. What about anything about what's it called CERN? Fusion, you know, halogen collider in Switzerland. I've heard of this. I don't know. It's just one of those things that gets brought up. I don't know much about it.

Okay. I won't ask any more questions. So, yeah, what is that? So basically, we'll dive into that. Two schools has thought. Yeah. Oh, birds aren't real. That whole thing.

Yeah. Which is the conspiracy that no birds are real or that, there are some birds that are government plants. Because if that's the case, I don't hate it. If it's like, hey, there's one bird that's not real out there. That's fun. Some birds aren't real.

Apparently, I think on the list is... Bird aren't real. New York City pigeons. Like the pigeon in New York are all plants, like drones or something. Wow. But I mean, like, how much money would that cost to have that? We're in a lot of debt, though, aren't we? Trian's a dead. Who cares at this point?

Yeah, it's all. I saw someone say something interesting. And once again, this is another thing I'm going to say where I'm not accepting follow-up questions. Okay. This is regurgitating something that I barely heard that I know very little about. I'm going to say something, but you can't respond. You can't even really listen to it.

I know we're on a podcast, just don't react to this. Talk back to me. Don't, there's no discourse that I would enjoy here. And it was basically like, and this is borderline harmful information. This could backfire. But some guy was saying like, a lot of people were saying we might be on the precipice of another recession.

or another housing crash or whatever. And I forget the exact reasoning, but it had something to do with, like, we are in so much debt to these other countries in China and just like our national deficit. Like, we can't afford another crash. Like, the government will step in before another crash happens because it would be so harmful to, like, kind of our current state.

So they were basically, like, buy that house. Don't worry about it. Get that jet ski. I don't know what jet skis had to do with it, but it was something like that. Like the deficit is so high that like it would be pretty harmful. Okay. Not a follow up question.

Good, because I'm not accepting. A follow up statement of mine. Good. I won't listen. I now wonder, once you said that we're in debt to China, I now wonder. And this is like so stupid of me, I guess. I now wonder do other country. I have a thought of I wonder if other countries have debt as well.

Or if in my head, I thought, I probably just thought everyone's in debt. Like is Ireland in debt to England? Wait, is China just like doing just fine and just making tons of money off of us? Oh, sorry, that's a question. I wonder if China is doing just fine and making tons of money off of us. And those are interesting questions. And I will not. Those are, that's that wasn't a question.

Remember? I don't have any statements to piggyback off that. So pretty interesting, though. So pretty interesting, though. Pretty interesting, though. So which conspiracy did your? I don't think she. She's chosen yet.

But I was like, that's a, I don't know if I like that party. I don't know. I think it could be fun for a second. Like, it could, you got to toe the line real close. It'd be more fun to almost like make one up. And it doesn't need to make a lot of sense, but just like truly come up with one in your own brain. Don't spend more than 30 seconds thinking of it. Well, because they do it right now.

Okay. How can working at your local Tims take you further? Sure, you can level up your teamwork skills. You also get a chance to receive a Tim Horan scholarship award. Ready for what's next?

Oh, yeah. It's just government control. It's, they want us to be better with our fingers so that we can do better work. Yeah, because for them. Because a big market crash is coming. Because if they,

I take back what I said earlier. If they learned how to type the right way, they could all be self-sufficient entrepreneurs. Yeah, yeah. But right now we're all paying money, taxes to the government. government. And if I thought more than 10 seconds, I could come up with a better one. But that's my first. Let me start with that one.

Where did you come up? How did you come up with Cordy keyboard, dude? Big keyboard doesn't want you to know the truth. Yeah. Have you heard the one about... They could do the mail way faster if they wanted to. Yeah. Yes, dude. Well, the whole paper thing and how paper, like there's... We don't need paper. Like paper causes testicular cancer. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So if you don't have that, you don't have cancer. You don't have the other... Gumballs.

What are you going to say? Well, I was going to say something else about... Okay, you didn't have it. No. I was going to say something about the blinds on the windows and how they're not supposed to be accordion shaped. But with accordion, it's because they wanted people to buy more accordions back in the day.

What is your favorite style of window treatment? Oh, probably like just kind with a little bit of daddy issues. Let me give you three options. Yeah. one would be like, there's almost like a... We're calling accordion blinds. You want to call that? Okay, sure.

This is just like straight. I'm going to call it yank. Straight yank. There's no cords or really anything else. Just yank up, yank down. Okay. Self-supporting. One would be like one where you have to like pull it and it's on like a circular,

almost like pulley system. Correct. And then the last would be like traditional, there's like a cord, there's a strand. You know, you pull it 45 degrees to stop it or you pull it down to the right to keep it there. Traditional blinds. I'd say straight yank. Straight yank is nice. I like straight yank.

I don't have any of those in my house, I don't think. They're not anymore. I got some friends with, they're not. I think that's true. I think it's like, you can't do this anymore? Oh, that's what you mean? Oh, yeah. Oh, I thought you were saying the pulley system is straight yank.

No, this is straight yank. Yeah. Strait Yank is just simple and easy. And just like a lot of these, like these nice ones, they let hardly any light in. It's super nice. Those are, yeah, those are like blackout ones. Black out. Black yanks.

Like black yanks, like Darryl Strawberry. Or like the alternate uniforms. Yeah, yeah. Derek Jeter's dad. Derek Jeter, some would say. Some would say, yeah. The Kelly's, you've been to their house, they have straight yank all around in the living room,

and it's remote control. Like, they can... Remote yank. Remote yanks. And I don't know if you could do that with a poly system blind. I doubt it. Oh, you couldn't.

I don't think I have much... You're saying, which blinds are you saying are outlawed now? I think the ones with the strings. I don't think you're supposed to have strings anymore because of, like, kids who can, like, choke on them and stuff. Okay, any kind of corridor. So I think it's either, like,

yank, straight yank like this, or yank with the knob for open and shut. Does that make sense? Oh, I see. I see like blinds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Rod. I don't like the, I don't like the push up.

Pushing up is hard with the window treatments for me. Every once in a while, it's kind of awkward. Like, we have a headboard in front of our window a little bit, and so it's either like, you got to, like, kind of tuck your hand down in there, and then you want to get it up. I don't know. I guess that. I do like those. I like the,

whatever you call those, the blackout shanks. Blackout yanks. Yeah. What about you? That's nice. Oh, definitely the yank.

Yeah. You know what? I might just go straight curtain. I kind of like curtains. Yeah, there is a fourth option. I mean, there's more ideas.

Go curtains. Curtains. Drapes. Curtains are for sure the most aesthetically pleasing, right? For sure. I feel like they just, they look pretty.

Yes. They add. I like hotel rooms because that's kind of my only time I get to play with curtains. You have kind of the two. You've got the dark one and the light one. Yeah, curtain.

Yeah, hotels, they really go hard on curtains. Yeah. And blah. No, just curtains, usually, right? Yeah. But two layers. Yeah, that's nice. It's fun.

Yeah. That's curtain talk. That's curtain talk for you. That's window treatments. You want to get the old guitar out? Yeah. See what happens? Let's do some reviews.

You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. Reviews me. Let's see if we got any. See if the ghosties care about us. Apple.

I always type in Apple. It's a podcast app. I'm going to go rogue. All right. My review is a text that was to both of us that neither of us ever responded to yet. Beth Ann Lampley. Oh, B.A. Do you ever get texts from people that are legends and you think a legend list?

This is my podcast? This is so kind. Shout out B.A. I don't even know her that well. She worked at Jake's camp with her. But it's always fun with like. Him. My pronouncer.

He. He worked with her. He, Jake, worked with her Balampley. It's just like, people like that are listening still? Like, it's fine. It's like, oh, I understand people are going to listen here and there. But she's like, listener, that's cool. She has texted us, this airport episode's absolutely killing me.

The cart for the elderly and the overweight. That really got me. Those drivers are absolutely lethal. No mercy. Shout out. Shout out, BA. I'm glad someone else's been in the airport recently, knows how insane those people are.

Yeah. My review of the week comes from a comment and then a reply to it in tandem here on Spotify. Hall said, anyone else thrown off by Jake being on the left and Brad on the right. This was on last Monday's episode. And then Ryan, Guy, said, no, I just turned my phone upside down. That's pretty good. All right, time. All right.

One of the last ones probably for the foreseeable future because we're all going to be in different areas. it's going to be very hard to sing. I mean, we could sing, but not together as far as, like, future setups go. It's true. There's a slight lag. Timing and Brad won't be able to duet. Keeps stolen. Once we go remote.

So last one for a while here. Going to end this one with a hymn. Brad's got his guitar in the studio. We got a second microphone just for the guitar. And we have timing. This, you're probably curious who wrote this him? Who wrote this him? Rufus H. McDaniel in

Rufus Mac. 1914 wrote this. Wow. He found much joy in church music. He began writing hymns in the 1880s. He wrote in quotes, I feel in my soul that God has something for me to do in brightening the experience of struggling souls.

Rufus, my man. Struggling souls. All right, Timon, you tell me... For whatever you have pulled up, do you have these same lyrics that I have up here? I actually have that exact same. thing pulled up, dude. So I don't really know the chords.

I'm just going to kind of... All right, can I just say something real quick? My B string always hits my ear wrong. Huh. So does this sound okay? Yeah. Sounds fine to me. It sounds in tune.

All right. I'm going to hit some things a really bit. Let me just get a little closer. It's right. That's all leaving anyway. All right, check, check. Yeah, get that mic really pointed towards the guitar. Yeah.

Can they go further down? No, I bet it's, down as it's... There we go. Check on the mic, one, two, one, two, one, two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go. I wonder if anyone's ever done that before singing this hymn. Before singing Rufus McDaniels. All right.

Who chose his song? I did. Great. Hey, who chose this song? 20 of you guys know is Rufus That sounds good to you, dude I think so

I think it sounds in tune It 100% is That's what's crazy Huh Reminds me a tune at my bass Afterday You want me to start or Um

I can go ahead I'll just I'll just Two Three Okay here we go What a wonderful Change in my life

Has been wrong Since Jesus came into my heart I have light in my soul For which long I had sought Since Jesus came into my heart Since Jesus came into my heart Since Jesus came into my heart Floods of joy or my soul

Like the sea billows roll Since Jesus came into my heart Sorry my, my... No, you're good. My guitar, you know what? Let me just, let me just, my hands are a little sweating. Hey, no problem. All right.

My background went away for a second. Oh, we could do. Hey, good dress rehearsal. We could go from the top. We could go, I do verse one chorus. You do verse two chorus. We do chorus again. I harmonize with you.

Okay, okay, okay. All right. Keep all this in. Five, sit, set. What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since. Jesus came into my heart. I have light in my soul for which long I had sought. Since Jesus came into my heart.

Since Jesus came into my heart. Since Jesus came into my heart. Bloods of joy or my soul like the sea billows rose. Since Jesus came into my heart. I have ceased from my wandering. and going astray since Jesus came into my heart and my sins which were many are all washed away since Jesus came into my heart

since Jesus came into my heart since Jesus came into my heart floods of joy on my soul like the sea billows rose since Jesus came into my heart Let's go to verse five. Great. First five. Rufus.

I shall go there to dwell in that city I know since Jesus came into my heart. And I'm happy so happy as onward I go. Since Jesus came into my heart. Since Jesus came into my heart. Since Jesus came into my heart. Bloods of joy on my soul like the sea billows roll. Since Jesus came into my... One more time.

Since Jesus came into my heart. Since Jesus came into my heart. Bloods of joy or my soul like the sea billows broke. Since Jesus came into my heart. Since Jesus. Since Jesus came into my heart. One more time. I said Jesus came into my heart.

That was great. Ghosties hope you appreciated that. That was fun. That was pretty good. That was... Sorry for showing off right there, guys. You know what's funny is that was the one thing I was trying to play on the bass yesterday because I know that's like so easy to do that I was like, well, I could do that.

Like, we're just like off to the side. I was like just doing that. I can't really do anything. I have no idea how else to play the bass. but I could do that. That's pretty fun. Anyway, shout out Rufus. Fun times.

That's good. Shout out Roof. What a great song. You old dog. Who would have thought? 1914, the guy writes a song. 27 years later. Here we are.
