Oh, oh, no, no, no, you're fine. Oh, hey, hey, guys. Hey, whoa, I guess we're going. Hey. Oh, hi, Jake. Sorry, sorry about that. Sorry. That's all right, man.

We're kind of like, you know, Ron Burgundy has to read the teleprompter verbatim. Yeah. You're the guy who, like, refuses to, like, trim anything from the beginning of the recording. Hey, we're, this, it's recording, so therefore this is part of it. I'm like, no, no, I'll edit it out. And you're like, the red button's on. Like this is live Uh uh oh

Ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down With some random thoughts in white Me too Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along let's have some fun and go ahead Get on your feet Because it's a ghost Ruff's podcast

Yeah I didn't I don't think I've listened To Wednesday's episode of last week yet But at one point We did try two different songs For the Good Range I think it may be time and took it out. I can't remember it was the Monday or the Wednesday episode,

but we were doing different songs for the ad reads. And I tried to do like a somewhere over the rainbow, and it didn't go well. And I was like, just keep it in. Just keep it all in. I don't know if you kept it in or not. So anyway, but I'm all about like, yeah, just rock, baby, rock and roll.

Got the World Cup, CZ. Second zero of the day. No problem, dude. No problem. How is the World Cup buzz in the city right now? Here's the buzz. The buzz is there. The buzz is also a little bit like, is there too much buzz for how much, how much bees they're coming? How much sting? Yeah, how much honey. It's hard to tell if we like really overshot it or if all of a sudden we're going to like let our guard down and it's going to slap everybody in the face.

Like there was a guy. So this is funny. Yeah, whatever. I'll, whatever. I'm not trying to vent too much. but I will just tell me how you would feel about this I got a buddy from Cana Cuck his brother-in-law is coming into town for the World Cup okay for a game I think he's coming from like Michigan

so he's going to drive that day go the World Cup game and then drive back that night I think like he's not even going to stay in Kansas City or maybe he's going to drive part of the way I don't know I don't know exactly when the game is I'm assuming it's at night I know it's he said he's going to get in around 2 p.m.

go to a you know lunch spot and then go from there And he was, first of all, he was asking me about lunch or like food recommendations. Easy. I would love to give you those. Like, I'm very good at that. Second, he asked about like driving parking for the World Cup. And I'm like, this is something that you know probably as well as I do.

I mean, not truly, but like, I don't know that much about this. I can look it up. And granted, I knew the locations that they're talking about a little bit better than he does, obviously, like, yeah, you can park in Independence and it'll shuttle you over. You can park in North Kent City. Like, he doesn't know that stuff. But I'm like, those are both fine options. But then he goes, and I don't know if you'd be willing to just like drive me to the game, drop me off, and then pick me up after the game's over. And that's like, I didn't have visceral reaction of like, no.

But I did think like, I'm going to say no to that. Like kindly. Like, and luckily, luckily, like truly the time that he's going, the game that he's going to, I think we're going to like be gone. Like we're going to be out of town anyway. So it's not that big of a deal. but like I was like dude I'm pretty sure if I understand the World Cup the way I think I do it's going to be like you know I'm going to drive him for an hour and a half two hours to get there it's going to take me forever to get home and then the gate by the time I get home the game's

going to be over and I'm going to have to go pick him up again and the way that the Kansas city's like stadium work it's not like a convenient like drop you off of the door kind of thing anyway so that feels like a lot to ask a lot to ask about Like if it was my friend, I could understand that. But it's like my friend's brother-in-law. I'm like, ah, buddy, I don't, I don't think we're going to do that. I'm sorry, man. And I'm not like, I'm not anti, like ask your friend for a ride to the airport.

I'm not anti, like, ask your friends to help you move. Like, yeah, do those things. I don't, I don't, I think we're here to serve each other and to like, you know, we're a big community kind of thing. I'm not anti that completely. But I'm like, this is a, that's a big one, dude. Like, you're asking me to basically be in the car for, potentially four, five hours, you know?

I don't know. I was like, ah, I can't do it. And the alternative is what, just like, an Uber does that for him and he just has to pay the Uber or he does it himself, I guess? I was like, I think there's probably enough parking at the stadium even. Yeah.

I don't know. I could be wrong about that. I did Google it and, you know, Jim and I was like, the parking's going to be extremely limited. I don't think it's going to be that limited. I mean, people park for the chiefs. games all the time and they tailgate they take up three spaces i was like they're not going to be tailgating for the world cup and a lot of people at chiefs games they are probably driving their own cars you think

world cup this is bringing in a lot of international people people from not even you know this city like they don't have cars to drive maybe they're renting a big horn from turret but i don't know yeah yeah yeah there's going to be a lot of people shuttling in i think so who knows how it goes man i i'm excited I'm excited to watch the World Cup. Like I didn't think I would say that. But I'm going to get kind of into it, I think. I think my kids are going to like it. My kids got really into the Olympics.

And so I think it could be something like that. Patriotism. Yeah. That really is so much to ask, though. Like this guy doesn't know you. You guys are not friends. And he's asking quite a bit like. In the first text.

What other favors is this guy asking in his life to acquaintances? And like, I'm not. Yeah. I'm not really offended by it because like I think I've done stuff like that and it's like you can say no please say no I would understand if you said no I'm not really like that bothered but also it's like I'm gonna say no you know this is the guy you asked for like a refill on his burrito at Chipotle hey would it just be okay if I just you filled it up again yeah that was really good you might give me a little bit more exactly so um so that's the World Cup buzz says World Cup buzz I do think like it did kind of, it was like, it was always a thing that people knew about. And all of a sudden, like all the stores have stuff. Like, you know, there's whatever, five or four or six different countries. There's even number of countries coming.

But like, and so all these different restaurants will have like welcome in all those different languages. Welcome, man, bienvenu. You know, all these different things on there for the different countries that are coming. Like McLean is getting really into it all of a sudden. Okay. So. Like every time I've gone to the airport over the last four months, they add a new, like, installation. Just like something else is there for World Cup.

They're slowly adding on. Yeah, there's like a World Cup store now, like in that front like area. You see that? Be it be in the needles. Yeah. Like it's like, okay, buy your World Cup, you know, American Jersey here or whatever. So duty free. That's right.

I don't even know. The Lego store at the airport. Oh, yeah. Oh, loved it. dude oh we we had a blast there so anyway i just got a text from scott that said is currently getting a chiropractic adjustment from the brooklyn pickaball team team doctor love it love it maybe that's the answer to all his issues yeah he's like hey everyone on the team looks pretty healthy or you you're probably trying to get those hands a little dirty right

yeah he's a great case steady on a lot of think so oh i that's great great why not we uh We talked about you a lot last night. We went out to like, kind of like a little cookout for the Brooklyn Pickleball team. One of their owners is actually from St. Louis. So we went out to his parents' house and they had us over for dinner and whatever. And they got a little bit of land and they had cornhole and washers. And Scott was just like, man, I feel like this is a really good yard to like toss a baseball around in. I'm going to ask him.

And so he goes in and asks him like, let's have a couple extra baseball gloves laying around. And they go, of course. Of course, yeah. They go, you know, one of our sons, he used to go, he would go to St. Louis Carlin's games early and collect the balls from batting practice. We got about 400 batting practice balls in there. So we were playing with like an official major league baseball ball and just played a little catch in the yard. And oh, it was so fun. Just like, how often do you even play catch with the baseball these days?

Right. And then on top of it, it just brings back all these memories. Like the first time a ball was on the ground, I went to pick it up. I was like, oh yeah, we used to like get all cute and like the fun ways you pick a ball off the ground with your glove. Like I forgot about that. And then we're asking like, how did you turn to on your teams? And then, you know, Rachel's asking like, where were your guys just like batting stances and like even like routines getting to the plate?

And so we're all like, they were like, all right, is anyone have a bat? So then we went and got a bat so we could like do it and show each other. And then of course it has ended with so many stories of Coach Fulbright. and then Brad throwing heat. No, really? That's what I kind of came down to. I mean, we went over every single aspect of baseball and how we did it specifically.

Like, how did you come set if you were like, if there was a runner on base and you were pitching? All right, well, what was your, you know, from the windup? What did that look like? What was your pickoff move to second? I mean, we recovered everything. What was your bunting for him? What did Scott say about me?

Do you remember besides throwing heat? Yeah, he said, I mean, he said he hated going up against you in practice. because you threw it so hard and it was so out of control that he didn't know if it was going to be down the middle or like at his head There were time there was like a season where I was like I don't know how to throw it how to throw it straight And it was oh yeah but he said you could bring it he was like from a very early age like Brad could chuck it I was a huge fan of rookie of the year and like the yeah at the end where he loses his ability to throw fast so he has to like trick people And so I tried, I wanted so badly to trick somebody.

I was just one, I don't think I ever did it, but I tried the hidden ball trick almost every time I played for a place. Like I would, you know, they'd pick it off. First of all, I was a, I was a big, you know, slap, like catch it and slap like slap tag just to, you know. And, and then off it, I would pretend to throw it and just hold it in my glove for a second. He did talk. I ever got it. I loved that move. I loved the, uh, the pickoff move.

We got first and you know first and third you know fake to third go to first yes dude I I did I did all that stuff I was I was terrible at pitching when it came to people on base because I was so distracted by so preoccupied with how you're going to pick them off I hated I hated the feeling like Sam was my my my one of my best friends but he was like my catcher it was like if Sam didn't catch like if Steve Steve went through season of catching your cousin yeah Steve was garbage catcher I mean, the rest of it, none of us were like amazing baseball players. But like, I was like, if Steve's a catcher, like, they're going to steal every single time. And so I was just like, oh, I hate that I am going to pitch it. And then there's going to be going to get on second base every time. So anyway, just distract. Also mentioned, he's like, this is going to come as no surprise.

But when Brad would play first base and a runner got on, Brad was chatting them up. Oh, yeah. 100%. Yeah, that's part of baseball, man. It's like, that's the best part about first base is like you get to know. the other team. Yeah, you guys had a good season, you know, like, where are you guys from, you know, whatever, all these, Lewisburg, really, that's cool. Do you know my aunt? She's a teacher there. Yeah, Sandy Berkester, you know, all these things like, oh, yeah, dude, that's awesome.

Yeah. That's what we're telling Rachel. It's just like, baseball is unlike any other sport for the community, just like, ask, or like the camaraderie aspect. Just like so much time in the dugout. Yes. Even when you're in the field, like you're kind of just hanging out that whole time, too. Oh, yeah. Like, you're just talking to your friends the whole time. Or, maybe a team of their own base especially the outfield like you can you can have conversations like you know you can be talking to the center fielder and like oh yeah and every once while you got guys that don't want to talk it's like come on dude like what else we got to do we're really going to be that focused I'm focused on the pitch I got it I

understand but like yeah oh yeah I did chat them up a lot I was a big I loved I love doing this hey two out two down out plays it first yeah force it force it second for the second I did like kind of like being a player coach kind of thing. You would have loved. I wish I could place you on our high school baseball team because we were just, this is a team full of goofballs and just like loved winning and not taking it seriously while we were doing. It was so fun.

Like you were chatting up the first. Like we never even tried to do the hidden ball trick, but we would always say watch the hidden ball trick. Like it didn't matter if like we were in the field. Like it would be like, it didn't even make sense. like we're telling other team hey watch in baltra you know like we were just like always messing around it was so fun yeah i love that yeah baseball it truly is this the best sport i think i mean i don't know my favorite sport to play is basketball but also baseball is like the the best childhood sport i feel like

just like being at the baseball first of all it's in the summer you're outside it's nice weather i don't know there's just something about it often like it accompanied is like a fun like hang out afterwards i feel yeah yeah let's all get a good ice cream afterwards like and you're eating ice cream and your you know your cleats and your or your slides after you take off your cleats and yeah baseball jersey whatever it's so fun like get 30 you know sliding into yeah you know oh it's awesome so good baseball is the best too because by if you could make it at least in how missouri did it if you could make it to the playoffs baseball is a spring sport so if you can make it to the playoffs, school was over, but you still had baseball games.

Yeah. And so then you felt like a professional athlete. You're like, I have no other responsibilities other than there's baseball. So we would tailgate ourselves for our own playoff baseball game. We would set up speakers. We would bring it. We would drag a grill like some guy's dad, you know, those bars grill. And we would like cook hot dogs and hamburs for ourselves three hours before a playoff

baseball game. That's the beauty of baseball is like you can be pretty full on hot dogs and still have a good game of baseball. You know, like football, it's like, I don't know if I should eat this much before the game. You always do team dinners the night before and it's always spaghetti. It's like a big deal. Yeah, baseball, it's like, I'll eat a hot dog in between innings. Dude, I'll be fine.

I watched some clip, who was it? Some old Yankees guy, maybe like Dave Winfield, you know who that is? Like some guy back in the day, no, it was Bo Jackson. It was an interview with Bo Jackson where he like had a bad at bat one time and went into the dugout and like, went like, down into the dugout where you can't be seen and like chugged a miller light or something like that and his next at bat cranked one out of the park and so he was like you need to chug a beer before every single at bat from that and he did for the rest of the game and i think he had two home runs that game or something no way like that's baseball though like you can yeah be two beers deep and

still be an amazing player whereas football it's like we can't do this i remember hearing stories and who knows what's true but like so many great hitters or just great baseball players in general like or just truly unintelligent or like they don't really they don't know strategy they don't know like many ramirez or um there was a guy who played for the marlins i forget his name a little second baseman like a contact here but he was on like a 41 game hit streak like hey you're closing in on the record or whatever is deo maybe that's what i was going to say i thought it was something like that but i couldn't quite remember yeah and he had no idea he was on a 41 game hit streak you know he's just out to lunch constantly um and baseball you can kind of get away with that like i feel

like football is not a sport where you can get away. I mean, I'd say you're definitely an anomaly if you don't know what's going on in professional football. Because so much of your actions dictate or like affect other people's actions. Whereas baseball, it's like, I either get a hit or I don't get a hit here. I mean, like, obviously like if you run the basis the wrong way, it can affect your team. But like for the most part, like you either catch it or you don't catch it. And it affects your team.

But like, you know, if you decide to throw to first, there's going to be a guy at first base to catch the ball. Like, I don't know. You know what I mean? Like, whereas, like, if you block the wrong guy in football, some other guy might not be blocked at all. And then he gets, he clobbers the quarterback.

Yeah, there's so much more like play calling in football. Like, you have to know specifically what to do on each play. And just like film in general. You have to know the other team's tendencies and what they like to do. And if this, then that. Where it's like, baseball, half the game is just fielding. Like, just catch the ball in front of you, hitting maybe you watch a little film on a pitcher or something,

where the most part just get out there and be an athlete yeah you can get pretty nerdy in all the sports but really really nerdy in football like it's crazy how hard it like how much cat and mouse game it is so um that's pretty fun though getting to get to play catch in the backyard yeah americana baseball is just great yeah i think every high school sport i played was like special on its own way baseball it's like from a team aspect we had by far the most fun like we didn't really need anyone else to be there okay you were having so much fun our own And then basketball, it's like the crowd is like next level. We got a packed house and the whole town is like watching us.

Undefeated. Yeah. It's the best sports venue in the world. Yeah. Right. I remember like our main gym. I don't know if they had to something happen to water leak or something. We couldn't play in our main varsity gym.

So we had to go to the old one from the 80s. That's or like a big like high school varsity game. And it packed the house. You know, it's like a, you know, a biblical story where it's like people are hanging from the rafters watching this game. It was so loud, you know, that was the best. Yeah. But did football, once I finally started playing football later in high school,

I was like, this is kind of special to do. The one game per week, it was like the magnitude of everything was like very cool to feel that. I feel like the brotherhood was like the biggest in football. Yeah, you think so? Yeah, that's probably true. Like, because it's, yeah, I mean, it's so physical. It works you so hard. And like when you win, it's like such a relief.

And when you lose, it's like, dang, that sucks. We walk a bus ride home. And then we have another week before we get to try to redeem this. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So good. Dang, that's fun. Let's play all the sports.

I love it, man. That's so fun. So that's high school sports. That's high school sports for you. Here's a sane or psycho, I guess. We can go that route. I thought this was kind of a casual, like, hack, fun thing that I was telling this guy. And then he told his wife later, and she said,

It's like a serial killer move that you're doing this. Okay. Great. So you should talk about the podcast. It's like great. So there's this couple at our church. Caleb and Alyssa were kind of like starting to mentor them a little bit. They're young.

They've been married for like a year now, I think. And anyway, got together with Caleb the other day at Main Street Roasters West. And, you know, I ordered some horschata, cold brew, something, tried it out. And I was like, what did you order? He's like, I got a Carl Macchiato. And I was like, cool. I used to be really into ice Carl Macchiato's. Have you ever had one?

probably yeah like uh basically i mean they're unbelievable they're there they're lots of sugar what does machiato mean that's a good question and we kind of had this discussion as well because i think like a true like coffee person like a sam swiston would be like that's not a macchiato like like diados are kind of like pretty strong like do you ever see those drinks in like the small like coffee cups i feel like sometimes like the tiny little saucers sure sure sure yeah like a cortado Cortado and Macchiato are kind of like that realm of things. I could be wrong a little bit, but I think it's like a strong drink. Starbucks is not.

Starbucks is like lots of milk, lots of caramel and sugar and awesome. Okay. Ice caramel macchiados, they come, like you see them. You should look it up. Look up an ice caramel macchiato real quick. Basically they come in these, like it'll come. I think they pour the milk in first and the sugar and caramel. And then they put the espresso on top.

It's almost separated. Is that what it looks like to you? Yeah, it's like oil and water. It's a little oil and water. And I told them, I was like, dude, so I used to be really into caramel macchiados. And what I would do is I would, you know, kind of basically excavate the thing, like excavate it with draw and have a couple drinks of like the sweetness of like the milky, sugary goodness. And then come up and have a nice bitter, like a bitter drink of the espresso. And I do that times.

We used to call you the oil rig. Yeah. And then eventually I would mix it up and it all be like one homogenous thing. But I was like, but for a while it was like for the first few sips, you get a really like sweet. And I compared it to back in the day at Chipotle when I'm a bowl guy now, but I used to be a burrito guy. I didn't ever want him to mix it up. I liked it kind of like, I'm going through a rice patch. I got a tomato, you know, season here.

I'm going through a rice patch. And then all of a sudden it's like you, you find it all together. But like, he told that to his wife about like the drinks. Because I guess she gets iced Caramacayahu's lot. She's like, that's insane to do this. To go like milk only for part of a sip. Yes, I think it. It's not even part of the sip.

It's like one sip and then come on up. Do a little, you know, strong coffee. Go back down. Nice little sweet. Go back up. And she's like, no, you got to mix it up right away. And I, my argument to her, well, first of all, what do you think of all this? I think this

this is very you I feel like no dude like it's so sweet to have a couple of tips I think you would tell me to do it and I would try it and I would go that actually is amazing

I'm gonna start doing that now thank you okay I was like you gotta try it yeah because I don't know that much about coffee especially like drinks like this but I'm like

I'm pretty sure an iced latte ice caramel latte would be the same thing but they would just mix it up I was like, I think, I think they're intentionally leaving it unmixed for a reason. So you can kind of do your thing with it. Yes, dude. Why wouldn't they?

Yeah. Because an iced caramel latte is just like espresso and milk, you know, caramel, whatever, and just shaking all up. Like, just like they take the spoon and they like dip it in there a couple times, you know? Oil rig it. Yeah, they oil rig it for you. This is like pre-rigged. I've wondered that about like a cold brew with cold foam or whatever. It's very separate.

Watch it go trickle down, though. Is that what you're saying? I enjoyed the trickle down. And I wonder, is this a version of this where it's pre-mixed? That's what I'm saying. The latte to the macchiato. Anyway, I, she, she acted very strongly like, she used the word serial killer. That's a, that's some of a serial killer would do.

And I said, well, then find me BTK. Somebody called the police then. Yeah, it's locked me up. No, I think that's a great point. Like if I wanted it pre-mixed with no personality, I'd get a latte. I'm curious now, caramel macchiato versus latte. Versus caramel latte, 2026. Just in case something outdated is out there.

Okay, caramel latte mixes espresso milk, espresso milk and caramel syrup, another first week consistent flavor. Carl Macchiato is layered. Vanilla syrup and milk are topped with espresso, creating a strong coffee first sip that ends with caramel drizzle. That's what I'm saying. Jim and I. Alyssa, come on.

Come on, Alyssa. Come on, Alyssa. So anyway, I'm trying to mentor them, but they're not, they're not quite there yet. So. All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right. What do you got there, Jake? I was given this yesterday. Look at this. A glass water bottle. You know what I wish I had inside of this?

good ranchers meat Oh good rancher's meat. Wouldn't that be great? Blend it on up and put it in there, baby. Oh, yeah. That'll be delicious. That's the first thing I thought of. It's the only thing I could think of.

Man. You ever had bacon smoothie? Not in a long time. No, not since you were a kid, right? Not since the tick bite. Reminds you a second grade. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know the last time I had a bacon smoothie either,

but I guarantee you if you want the best bacon smoothie to order it. No one does all American meat smoothies like good ranchers. That's what we've always said. Wagu smoothies. Lollipop drumette smoothies. You're going to need a pretty decent blender for that one. I'm kind of, yeah, but you could get some good marrow,

you know, bone marrow kind of. I'm kind of getting obsessed with this idea of Wagu beef smoothies all of a sudden. Like, I don't know what it would be. I mean, it's like ground beef, more or less. Like, blend it on up and then put in a, put in a skillet? That sounds pretty good to me.

And let's just see. And let's just see. So if you guys don't know, good ranchers.com is a sponsor of ours. They send you meat. It's frozen. Oh, and they send it to you, you can thaw it out right away.

You can sicken your freezer for later, store it up for a rainy day. That's what we do. But they do chicken, they do pork, they do beef, they do seafood, and it's all just the best.

I mean, you can get into all the details, but the main ones that we always hit on are no added hormones, no antibiotics, and just really, really good meat that is raised right here in America by American farmers. And so we're supporting people in our backyard. I saw a study recently that said 100% of dads like eating bacon. What was that with Huffington Post? This was Nielsen. It was the TV ratings company.

It's the same people that do that. Yeah. So Father's Day's coming up. So get your dad some bacon. Yep. Get them some bacon. Get them some Wagyu beef. If you get the Father's Day gift box, you will get a free order of Wagu beef. Use our promo code GRKC.

Shout them out. It's just a good idea. Like beef and smoothie. Like I defy you to figure out a way to not make beef delicious. Smoothies? Yep. Blended up. Probably better with beef.

I would do it. I'd eat it if there's good writers. So, GRC, goodrichich.com, it is American meat delivered. Liss just reminded me, maybe I mentioned this last football season, but towards the end of the last chief season,

Rachel started calling Travis just Viss and Patrick Mahomes, just Rick. Vince and Rick. Viss and Rick. Oh, they're at it again. Did you see that we might get Lidari's need? I saw that he was in the building today.

Yeah, which maybe he's just visiting friends. You know. Yeah, Tyreek has been like visiting friends for like three months now. He's not even on teams. I don't know what's going on. Yeah. I'll pay attention when it's closer. But I'm a World Cup guy right now.

Yeah, you are. Yeah, football. Big cup head. Total cup head. Anyway, but yeah, sane or psycho. I want to know what the ghosties think of the Carl Machiatto thing. But I personally, and if you haven't tried it, you can have reactions to like, oh, I don't like the way that sounds.

But please try it and then get back to me again after that, please. Yeah. I'm glad you brought it up. That's good to know. Yeah. Machiatto is just like pre-blended. Anyway. Yeah.

Let me tell you about my last couple days in Kansas City. Let's hear about him. Got to see you a little bit, which is fun. Said by to Catherine eight or nine times. Yeah, Catherine's like, I said goodbye to Jake. I was like, I didn't get to say goodbye to Jake. She's like, that's okay. We said goodbye to him like three times.

It was great. I was told that the 27th, the day of our three anniversary, that's when the movers are coming. And so I'm in my kitchen early that morning, and I see a van, like an old, old minivan that looks not good at all. I mean, doesn't have both headlights, the, what I would say?

The hood doesn't like fully close. It's in rough shape. It's going to collisions. Yes. It can go to crash champions. And yeah, show me the car fact. I don't need to see the car. I could see right now that it has a lot of damage.

And then I'm looking at the people like in the driver and passenger seat and I'm like, that can't be. That can't be who's packing up my house. And I'm trying to like rationalize like this could be like they're here for some other neighbor. something when I'm like the day I'm expecting people someone's at my house like this has to be them yeah but I'm just really wanting it to not be them and you got to meet them you got to see them yeah we're we're best friends yeah the woman there was an old I don't even know if she still makes content but there was an old like influencer had like an Instagram and a Facebook page where she gave herself a character kind of like Larry the cable guy but she was named trailer park Tammy

And that's what we'll call the woman who was my... She was a hottie, dude. She was a hottie. And then her husband. Mm-hmm. Also, honey. Yeah. It was a very different stature than Trither Park Tammy.

Mm-hmm. But great guy. I believe you referred to him as Tuko Salamanca. Which I don't even know. He's Hispanic. Like, he just looked like small and like angry. Like, just like, don't, don't cross this guy. I don't know.

there was something about him that just kind of was like he's he's a little bit on the rougher side for sure he was he was a st louis native and yeah i mean the uh minivan matches the attitude of that guy so yeah i mean i that's probably a little judgmental but that that was that was my observation was like oh boy and so yeah they knock on my door 8 a.m and they're in the house and secondhand smoke fills the room you know you know smell smell they brought some smell into your house. Yeah. But I will say, I mean, they were hard workers.

They were pleasant. They were nice. But they did seem stressed at the amount of work they had to do. I caught a lot of this hearsay. You were over at the house for like, I don't know, only 30 minutes. I was gone. And you were like, dude, I heard a lot of like, I mean, we need more boxes.

Then I can be done by 4 p.m. You know, whatever. Yeah, I heard some mumbling of like, I heard the word, we're definitely going to need some more or whatever. I was like, oh, okay. That sounds like they're not. They're a little, they bit off more than they could chew kind of thing.

Yeah. Which I'm already thinking, like, if there is any world where they try to charge me more for like this taking more time, I'm like, then what was the FaceTime for? We FaceTime so that you would know how much stuff I had. Remind me there was,

you had, was it two or three different like consultations? Yeah. And there was one that was like really quick, one that was like very like almost too detailed right yes this was the super super quick one and it was the cheapest one but was that but the guy that you tooko was not the guy you talked to no okay okay very different looking okay um but it really was fine i mean trying to think what else happened i mean it's just like i think later that day you know we found like their monster energy cans in our yard

you know just like immediately just throwing trash all over I'll give you a guess here. I walked into one of the rooms in time when he's in there, pack it stuff up and what song do you think was playing? It's not that crazy, but I just, I wasn't expecting it. Okay, okay. What song was playing on his phone? Yeah, just from his phone.

He didn't have a beats pill. Let's see. It probably came out when we were in high school. Oh, really? Okay. Riding Dirty by a good. Good guess. This was Usher.

Okay. Make love in this club. Oh, okay. It was just like kind of like a, that kind of vibe for like packing up. It's like this is how he likes to work. Can I get some more paggy tape? That's hilarious. What's you sipping on?

That's pretty good. It was just kind of funny. I was, I was expecting him to be more of a classic rock guy, to be honest. Yeah. Good for him. Okay. He covered some ground musically, but yeah, that was when I walked down one time. So anyway, they're just like, they're there all day.

I'm trying to think what else happened that day. I mean, it's also an anniversary. So I'm like trying to do something. We had to go sign all of our closing papers. Oh, this is kind of just like quick, I don't know, funny story. Coincidence. The woman there with Peter's, you know, title company, Peter is actually out of town. So he's like, are you good.

to close without me. I'm like, yeah, I will just sign papers. And one of the first things I say, this woman's walking me through what we're signing, and she is reading upside down unbelievably well. And so whenever she's done speaking, I go, okay, yeah, sounds good. Also, can I just say, you're maybe one of the best in the world I've ever seen that, like reading is upside down, you know, whatever. So then if it kind of becomes an inside joke, we talk about it four more times, the rest of signing. Okay, we're ending out, whatever. Peter text me three minutes later, hey, I heard everything went good. And I say, yeah, yeah, it was great. it was awesome and he goes dude she's one of the best upside down readers we've ever seen

did she tell you to say that he goes no i haven't talked to her and i was like oh she's just known well it doesn't take much to impress the boys from southwest missouri because we're like this girl's a genius holy cow yeah that's amazing i uh we really laughed about that did she have one of the things on her thumbs to turn the pages i've seen those before but no she was all natural good for her man that's even more impressive my gosh i uh i uh I've signed some documents recently. And so I've seen some different guys. And there's some people out there that are pretty impressive with it.

I mean, some of those. Yeah. I also will say, I cannot imagine that be my job. I mean, it's just like, this is, I, because people are just signing stuff as fast as they can. You're just turning pages over. I mean, there's so many documents. I'm like, you have to have a different personality than me to like this job. You have to be very into the details of this kind of stuff, you know?

Yeah. But this is also interesting. I'm remembering this. When I complimented her on reading upside down, she said, I've been dyslexic my whole life. But for some reason, reading upside down is not that difficult. Oh, really? What a superpower that is. Okay.

Did you notice? I feel like every time Catherine and I go to sign stuff, she likes to actually be legible with her signature. And I'm just scribbling every time. I was coming off of a great Malaysia trip where that autograph's got a lot of use. So I just continued to get reps and continue to imagine it on a paddle. or, you know, so, yeah. You go fast, and then Rachel's like, R, A, C, and. Yeah, she's like, Dear Diary.

Yeah. Yeah, it's like, Catherine, it's fun. Just make it a signature that is your signature. You don't have, you know, but hers are like, very good looking. Like, it's like, you could. Very legible. It could have been typed at this point. Like, yeah, it looks like how you teach someone what cursive looks like.

Like, this is a cursive K. Oh, and I just, I just, sometimes I don't even know if I have all the letters, you know, I'm just. Oh, yeah. Jay trip on the on the on the Ellis there's a dot on the over the eye yeah big dot yeah I love the idea this is one of those monotonous not not not not not this but detail oriented jobs I think would be really interesting is like somebody who studies plagiarism and like oh I bet you could tell if someone is left handed or not based on how they write if you're good enough at it wait plagiarism forgery oh I see you're saying okay okay

Okay, sorry, sorry. I understand. But like somebody else, like, trying to emulate my signature, but like they're right-handed. And I wonder if you're good enough at it, you could tell, like, no, that person's right-handed. Back in the day, for sure.

Because when they used real ink, you would, like, smudge if you were left-handed. Yeah. But, yeah, even now, like, I, my dentist told me he knew if I was right or left-handed. Really? Yeah, because, like, you know, you brush one part of your teeth better.

Whoa. That's interesting. Okay. He must work in forgery. He must have had a previous life in the forgeries. That would be interesting, though, someone who, like, inspects handwriting. Like, you see that in, like, documentaries and everything. We had an handwriting expert come in and see if this, like, fake suicide note was actually written by him or, you know, whatever.

On stars bring him out, you know, like, yeah, how much can I get for this thing? Yeah, that's real handwriting from them. You could tell based off this is the real kind of ballpoint pin they're using. Yeah, that is fun. Anyway, so that day, you know, it's just like we're in and out. We're kind of supposed to be around in case they have questions. And it was helpful. I'm helping kind of pack up the studio.

What do you say? Do they have any funny questions for you? Not really. It was a lot of just like, a lot of rules about packing maybe that I understand. They're like, we can't pack batteries because it's a liability. Oh, okay, great. We can't pack liquids of any kind. Okay, that makes sense.

We actually can't pack candles either. Okay, so any batteries? Like, what about like a... I guess I could do like lithium. Yeah, yeah, but not like, you know, Energizer. Okay. So there's a lot of that. I don't know, I can't think anything too interesting.

I mean, it was just like, where do you want this? How do you want this label? Are you sure you want this left out or whatever? I'm like, leave the golf clothes. A guy is coming. He had a slight typo, but he is coming. He's calming. There were stuff in your garage that was just,

just like, I wonder if they asked about it. Like, did they ever say, like, so what are the wigs for? What's going on with this like spinning wheel thing? It's funny. They didn't ask about almost anything. They asked about the YouTube plaque. He was intrigued by that. Oh, yeah.

He's like, a you YouTuber? And then I walked in the living room one time and I caught them. The guy had the wig on and she was taking a picture of him with the wig. He's like, I'm Joe Dirt. He loved that. They're enjoying themselves. He was. Yeah.

I mean, we had a nice. times the other yeah so I caught him with the wig on I was like no please wear it the rest of the day that's a you should have where where to Phoenix you think they're not the ones driving everything to Phoenix right no they're not okay but that that will lead me to my next thing that's perfect so they are not done packing everything up so from eight to four or whatever they don't get everything packed in boxes so they say we're going to have to come back tomorrow and I don't know how long that'll take um and then we have to load it up onto the moving truck and i think i was at that point i had a flight for rachel and i you know one p.m or some into dallas yeah and i'm starting to kind of

see the riding on the wall that they may not be out of here in time and so i'm like when's the earliest you can get here tomorrow he's like ah maybe between nine and 10 i was like ah there's no way he has a job before you yeah like you have another just quick gig beforehand all right whatever so i i already went head in oh I think I'd moved our flights anyway so like this is going to take a while and there was so much just like annoying stuff we're like here's what I've learned about moving and hiring someone to do it is I was under the impression I hired a company called United I heard hired united to pack me move me and transport my vehicles I was like that's what I want all in one you guys take care of it well I the the moving company show or sorry the

people packing me up, they're with Johnson storage. Well, that's not United. When the moving truck came up, it said Mayflower. I'm getting a call from somebody else about my vehicles, and they're with elite, elitist transport. But they're just the dispatcher. And then another guy is driving. There's like five companies involved.

I'm just nonstop, you know, just unknown numbers calling me. I'm like, I don't know who you're with or what you're taking. Just take it to Gilbert. Just take it to Gilbert. Just go that way. But yeah, then the car. is become an issue. They say, we can't get this Thursday anymore. It has to be Friday. I said, I'm going to be gone Friday. Just a bunch of stuff like that. Maybe they wanted you to pass

off the keys, right? Yeah, they said, you can't just hide the keys? You've got to be there. So I'm texting you. Like, can you be around to pass off the keys? I don't know when they're coming. So it's like, let's move our flights back. He gets it the next day. And yeah, it's, it's taken a while. On top of that, too, it was Memorial Day week. So Trash Day, which would have been so clutch for it to be picked up on Wednesday because have more trash. Well, that gets moved to Thursday. Trash truck never comes Thursday because we got a moving truck in front of us. I'm like, oh, geez. But basically, they get it all packed up.

It's all in the truck. I'm like, dang, you filled up this truck. I'm like wondering, how big of a storage unit did I get? I wonder if that's going to fit. So I asked one of the guys, I said, hey, how big is this truck? And he goes, well, let's see. And you start stepping it off. One, two, three.

Like, I was looking for something a little more like official. He didn't just know. Yeah. Yeah, so he stepped it off and he said it's around 22 or 23 steps. I was like, all right, I'll call the storage unit and let them know. And it was all full with your stuff. Like it was empty before you. Yeah.

Yeah. It's crazy how much stuff we have, isn't it? Yeah, I don't know. I guess it's mainly clothes. I mean, we live in a small house. So I don't know. I mean, your furniture was like you had a sectional couch. You had a little little sofa.

Yeah, sofa thing. you had your dining table that's like a four-person little dining table and then you had your bed do you have anything oh you got a little chair in there maybe yeah i didn't think it was that much but we filled up the 22-steper 22 23-step size truck you'll be fine you'll be able to make it work oh yeah it'll be fine the i got a call yesterday from the woman she's like hey is this you know is this jacob hey yes i'm one of the dispatchers for the moving company and Oh, how you doing? Not good. I wish I had better news. I'm like, oh, geez, what's this going to be? She's like, I can't, I know we told you was going to be there by Saturday. We could no longer guarantee by Saturday. I don't know when it's going to get there. And so honestly, I was like, just like, it's not the other world. We were not even in Phoenix. We've got a place to stay. Like, it's going to a storage unit. Like, don't worry about us. She's like, thank you. You just made my day. I've been so stressed. I'm like, no, seriously, it's fine. But there is a part of me that's like, what, what happened? Like, all of our stuff is. on one truck.

All you have to do is drive it from Kansas City to Phoenix, right? I mean, this should take 48 hours if you take a good amount of breaks. Yeah, how do they? I'm sure they have, no, but I bet here's what it is. My guess is like they have like regulations to how long you can drive. Ah, union. Yeah, yeah, it's union stuff. Like, you know, like semi-truck drivers are only allowed to drive eight hours and then they have to rest for eight hours or whatever.

You're right. Yeah, yeah. So maybe it's something like that. But even then they would have. known that, you know, like they would have. Yeah. So I didn't ask. I don't know what's going on because it's,

it's like been an entire week. And she's like, it's still not going to be there in the next three days. So I'm like, no worries. I got the truck tipped over. Yeah. Yeah. Is it still upright? Yeah.

If you had me describe it, I would say it's like 22, 23 steps. The guy was like a nine and a half in nine and a half shoe. So I think it should be there right. Yeah. That's interesting. I wonder. I mean, so when are you getting to Phoenix? Right now our flight is, I think this Sunday was at June 7th. So, and so many ghostsies reached out trying to help. We pretty much, we haven't signed the lease, but I think we do have a rental house spoken for that we'll move into in like three weeks.

And in the meantime, we'll be in the compound with Kyle. So appreciate all the help. But I think we're all set. Great. Just hopefully our stuff makes it down. And the idea is that they would move it into the storage unit for you? Yeah, they were supposed to. I paid for like the unpacking. Like they move it all in there for me and remove all the debris. That was part of it. Get that debris out of there.

So they should all take care of that. And then I think we're just going to continue to live out of our suitcases until we move in. It could be another two or three weeks. But I feel like all that stuff in storage is like, it's going to be so hard to find anything. Yeah, unless it's like I need this. prop top shirt. Like, you know, like I, I mean, surely you have enough that you can work with. It's not like you're going to a gala the first couple weeks here. Yeah, it's like a t-shirt shorts. What else do I need? I want to say how labeled some of their stuff, like some of your stuff.

Like, how'd they label the wigs? You know, they write wigs, comma, you know, golf, golf clubs, you know, like, how do they? You know, every single thing in there. It was pretty organized as far as like they had their own like numerical system and like everything gets double checked. Like this is box 46. Okay. This is box 47. You know, so like. Okay.

Seems like they're professional the way they go about it. But yeah, everything went great. And really this whole moving experience, I would say I have so much to look forward to it. So much optimism that I haven't been super sad or emotional until like that last three minutes. Like the home is completely empty. The Uber's on the way. or like, this is it. Like, I guess we're leaving.

Yeah. I guess, yeah, like the house we like started our marriage in. It's like, whoa, it's so empty and echoey in here. Yeah, so I guess we're heading out. It's not our house anymore. It's just a, it's a place. Like, it's not our home. Yeah.

And it was funny. The only time I've ever locked that door was the day we left. You never locked it. I mean, maybe like late at night. I would lock it from the inside, I guess. But like, never like, hey, I'm headed out. Maybe we locked there also because we never got the keys. but I'd have a locksmith come like three days before we close.

Like, hey, can you make me keys for the first time? He was like, what happened to your keys? I was like, I never got them. I was used the garage. Your question, yeah. You never got keys? No, because they told me, they were like, they're in the lockbox. But the code they told me for the lockbox, it didn't work.

So I just, I mean, keys are probably in that lockbox. I just never got in there. Good thing. Your electricity never went out. Your garage door worked. dude funny you say that this will be the last thing I say so I've been yapping a lot no I love it fast forward a day I'm on set beard shepherd shooting this show and I get a call and it's from you know some other company I've never heard of like hey this is your driver where are the keys at and I go okay I texted a

949 number yesterday like where I left them pictures in the mail like to say yeah yeah no I saw all that they're not there I'm like okay someone took the keys and 24 hours to our cars. It didn't take the cars. So I'm like, all right, hang tight. Hang up real quick. Call Peter. Hey, can you talk to the other realtor or the homeowner?

Figure out what they do with these keys? Let me know. Boom. Call back the driver. Hey, I'm working on it. Whatever. Come to find out, they're a realtor. Yeah, I mean, I had Rachel take a picture of me.

I was like, take a picture of how I'm dealing with this. I want to sit it to Peter. Like, this is what I look like when I was talking to you. And so come to find out the other realtor. when they did like their walk through he brought the car keys into the house and he even told he he uh peter is like hey that other realtor's an idiot his words not mine he said i'm an idiot why did i do that so they're in the house i was going to say doesn't peter work with this guy and the doors are locked i'm like of course the doors are locked and i go hey you know one thing i didn't sign out of just in

case is i still have the garage door app the my queue app so tell the driver standby let me just open up the garage door i'll talk to you in a second boom go to open the garage door i rise i forgot i told google fiber to shut off the wifi on the 28th so there's no connection to me in the garage door anymore i'm like of course of course why did i have to do the 20 it's just do the end of the month just just wait yeah yeah the billing period doesn't until the first i yeah idiot just just give yourself some grace why did i do that and so anyway this problem is still not solved like i don't know how we're going to get in there and then they go all right jake uh they need you on set and so I just hand my phone to Rachel

and I was just like figure it out talk to Peter good luck gotta go so what happened so it was kind of hectic I mean I think they had to call like the like Max the homeowner like I don't know if he was like on break

or just called him from work but they're like hey you need to get over here and unlock this house so he made it happen because the the realtor oh yeah I guess the realtor couldn't have gotten in they just put the keys in there yeah I love the keys in the mailbox and he took him in.

So it was all good, but it was just kind of hectic, kind of crazy. And yeah, I felt bad. Just potted off on Rachel. Oh, man, that's the kind of stuff that, like, I feel like the longer you get married, or the longer you are married, like, the more you can just, like,

directly communicate that without offending. The other person, like, I remember last week, Catherine called me. And there was, like, different people at the flip house that needed me and, like, were asking me questions. And I answered, and she could just tell right away. It was like, this is not a time to talk. Like I just go, hey, what's, hey, I think I, like, I just go, hey, you good?

You need anything? Or I think I said, hey, are you okay? Yeah, I was just going to talk to you about tonight. I was like, okay, I can't really do that right now. It's like, okay. You want to go to Joe's tonight for dinner? I was like, yes, I do. Okay.

Don't ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's not a, that's not a call. You just say meet me there. But yeah, I think I, if I say, like, hey, you're doing okay? Like, that's, that's kind of like indication of like, that's the only reason that we should talk right now. If not, hey, everything good? Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. And she's, and like, at some points in our marriage, I feel like that could have been like, oh, you don't, you're reading too short with me. And like, now it's just like, no, no, we got it. Like, we understand each other. Yeah.

She knows how much you got going on. So it's like, Rachel, take this, you know, I'm not trying to be mean to you, but I can't, you do it. Yeah. Luckily, it's kind of like Peter is like there. like kind of just like yeah give this to peter let peter figure this out but have my phone in case they need you just in case they have a question about something yeah so it worked out but yeah that was kind of hectic it's like i got to go be hilarious now but i'm just like trying to figure out this dumb garage situation oh what's that jake this is a water bottle i was just given yesterday all glass

How funny was the thing? Like, was it genuine, funny? So I know it's a tough, I'm putting a tough position. Yeah. But was it like, okay, like that, I can see why that would be funny or if it was like, we made that pretty good. We did a pretty good job. You know, I felt like six or seven out of 10 about it, like as far as the script and how we did. And, but Rachel got to sit outside and she got to watch the monitors and got to watch it with a bunch of the other. crew and I guess some of the people who've like invested into this project and Rachel was like oh they

were dying laughing like they they could hear all the little comments you said when you weren't shoot it like they they thought it was awesome okay well that's good but yeah I've I just felt like some of the things train I were joking with each other that didn't get said on there I was like that's that's way funny you know just like you know the dynamics between shepherds and an angel like we wanted to like riff with like how am I going to die or you know like things like that or like chatting up this lady angel like talk we were talking about her wings like those real or fake you know um yeah what else we were just complaining about like i was i was talking to ezekiel the other day he's a round erther get a load of this you know just like just easy jokes but you

you can just rattle off 20 of those jokes yeah like i think that's funny and there's one joke i said about paternity leave that i think made it in but for the most part it's like i think we can really if this gets picked up we could amplify the script a little more okay what is the gist of the show. Like, what's it about? It is. I think you've told me, but I forget. Trey is the main character playing a substitute teacher in like a biblical,

um, like a Bible class, like a high school or something like that, I think. Um, and I think he's like kind of a weird, quirky sub. And so his retelling of what happened in the Bible,

it's like a cut to like, so back of the day when Jesus was born and then cut to that, scene. Oh, okay. And then it becomes like sketch comedy, basically, like that scene. Got it. Got it. Okay. So was that the only scene that was taking place in the whatever? Like in the pilot was like just our little three minutes scene, but this is of a, I don't know, a 20 minute initial episode. So most of this show is not going to be set in Bible times? Like half of it. Half of it's like classroom and half of it's biblical, I believe. Um, so. So Trey was there for like three days after me.

I hadn't realized the big part of it. That's okay, got it. I think, I mean, classic. But the only reason I'm in this is because they wanted to get to Trey through me. They're like, hey. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the only reason I'm friends with you.

I just want to be hanging out with Trey Kennedy, man. So they got what they wanted. They got Trey. They got me and see how goes. Love it, dude. I just got a notification. I got low battery on my computer. I'm at 10% right now.

Should I plug in just in case? I'd plug in or turn the brightness all the way down. Nah, I'll just plug in. Excuse me. Filibuster. This is your practice. Philibuster. What you're saying?

So just don't say anything that good. Oh yeah, it's truly just me and the ghosties. Hey, what's up, ghosties? It's me here. I can still hear Brad. What do I want to tell you guys about? The boys are all watching pickleball. Rachel's here actually sleeping next to me,

recorded this entire episode with her just like napping right next to me. She actually claimed she's like, I think they're during their Wednesday episode, I might take the big horn out. And looks like she's not going to be big hornin, which would be a little terrifying anyway. Big horn in the big city. But she's doing fine.

Totally, dude. Yeah. Oh. What did we say? Nothing. Nothing to know. Nothing. I just sat here.

You busted? I did. All right, you're all plugged in. Oh, Rachel's here? Did you hear that? What? I said, oh, Rachel's here? Yeah, she's next door.

She's over here. What's up, Rich? We got the master, so got a lot of room. Primary, please. Sorry. Come on. What else is going on? After it was kind of nice, after the whole Dallas shoot, then we like went and stayed at this like kind of hotel resort in Dallas for just like three days.

Yeah, how was that? It was nice to relax. It was great. You might have seen on my Instagram story. The first morning we were there, we woke up just like really loud noises outside of our hotel room. I missed it. And, you know, it's like, you just wake up, it's bright. And Rachel's kind of already a little more awake.

And I go, what, what is that out there? And she walks, she goes out on the balcony. And she goes, it's some sort of like tribal walk going on. Tribal walk. Yeah, I was like, huh, I wonder if that means like protest. Are we on Native American grounds or something? You know, it's like, I am truly like waking up for the first time. Okay.

To start the day, you know. And then I, I start to like understand the normal. voice is a little more. And it's like for sure just like Indian music and not tribal. And I go outside and it's just a hundred percent an Indian wedding celebration going on. Not a tribal walk. And I go Rachel, he said travel walk. She was, I didn't have my contacts in. I just I made a quick snap decision based on what I saw on her. I done my contacts in. Okay. Yeah, tribal walk is pretty hilarious. But yeah, there was just like, like all weekend long like an Indian wedding. and honestly music was kind of a fun way to wake up at first it was like wow they're just like

in the street everywhere they're like in the back of a pickup truck like dancing and there's like blasting music but some of the music was pretty good and so we just like sat down on the balcony and just kind of took it all in that's pretty fun it kind of i haven't seen that many like uh what they call them bollywood yeah i've seen slum dog maybe that's it grand budapest hotel was that Bollywood? I don't know. But it's fun music. I agree.

Like the Slumdog music is fun. I don't know what that sound is, but there's a distinct like Indian sound. It's like higher pitch. I'm going to even try to play the video that I took of them in the street. You'll know the sound. Yeah, that was fun. Honestly, a lot of my time in Dallas was very Indian.

There's no more of that later. What I understand. All right. See if you can hear. this like what is that sound it's it's very distinct if that's not a song from slumdog millionaire i've heard that song i know that song but um but da da da da da da man i know that noise that's what got me outside i was like i want to get closer to this uh like i don't know what that instrument is though me neither it's good it's fun it's good uh it's good uh

So I was tribal walk. Okay. Okay. Yeah, what was this? This resort was like the PGA one, right? Yeah, it's like the home of the PGA of America. I didn't even realize that. But yeah, they got a couple nice golf courses.

I mean, I only golfed once. It was more just like, I don't know. This seems just like resort-ish. Like, it's a nice just like, all right, let's relax. And like there was a lot of, you know, just like, just chill a little bit after a month with a lot of stuff going on. Right. And it's only like three years old.

A lot of my friends in Dallas, when I go there, it's like, it's new, it's nice, and they had a bunch of different restaurants. So cool. It was fun. It's honestly, it's kind of packed the whole time because they offer day passes. So like people come in just to eat dinner there, just to grab coffee there, just to have a meeting there, just to use the pool there.

We're like, I don't know if anyone else was even staying there. But the day pat, like it's like packed during the day. That's kind of a bummer. They should have like a area that's like, this is for the resort. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But I will say we ran into friends that way, though. We were at the pool and got stopped. And it was like, honestly a good amount of like K country people that I know from adjacent different ways. But it's funny. One girl stops me.

Her maiden name is that Caitlin Harris. And she's like, hey, Kayla. I'm like, oh, yes. Yes. I know. She goes, I'm married to Carter Files. I go, oh, yeah, which is a guy I met in Australia. And its other girl was like, hey, I'm. I'm so and so. We were just talking about you and talking about Friday and how you're moving to Phoenix. Like last night. We were just talking about you. Small world.

She's like, yeah, me and my husband. I go, who's your husband? She goes, his name is Gonzalo. And I go, I met Gonzalo in the Grand Canyon. That's so funny. I met your husband in Australia. I met your husband in the Grand Canyon. And she goes, I know you met him in the Grand Canyon because I also met him that day.

Whoa. I was like, what? So you already knew this. She goes, yeah, it's like a funny joke. Like, yeah, I ran in. It was when me and Peter took the K-Life boys like, um, Cooper, Clayton, and Eli McDonald when we took them to Arizona

that trip way back of the day. You guys had a name for that. I think we did. I forgot what it was called. Jorsco West or something, probably. But yeah, it was like we made some Connecticut connections in the Grand Canyon. This guy named Gonzalo was one of them.

I remember that name. And she was like, I was also there that day. We met that same trip. That's awesome. That's fun. Cool. Big, big day for Gonzalo. Yeah.

saw the Grand Canyon saw some buddies and met his future wife did you work at K country with a guy who's last name Popoff Billy Popoff? No, I know him, no. We met at a state guy. Yeah.

And he said he recognized me. We were like in line for something. He's like, I recognize your voice. It's like, really? Oh, nice. Yeah, he's the one whose brother does all those crazy things. Yeah, yeah, Reagan.

Yeah, I liked him a lot. We like sat together at it was at Taylor McCullough's wedding. And fun. Yeah. Yeah. So you saw him? His wife was there too.

Okay. So it's just, I came back to the beach chairs or whatever and told Rachel's like, that is a great reminder. Like if we moved to Dallas, we would have 8,000 friends without even trying. Like that's, it's so great. But anyway, so it was fun. And then so I missed Carter, which is like a good buddy who I ran around Australia and New Zealand with, but he came back the next day to like grab lunch with us.

That was fun. Okay. That's cool. Yeah. So guys, he's friends. And, um, Yeah, I got to celebrate the Indian wedding a little bit. And by the very last day, I was kind of getting the itch.

Like, I need to sweat. I need to move around. Yeah. I went in the Friday Discord. I was like, I'm in Dallas for one more days. They don't want to play pickleball. Set something up. Someone's like, hey, I got you.

Download this app. Come here. Whatever. And so I go to like a pickleball facility. Yep. And apparently I joined like a league for one night. I took somebody spot in a league. And this is like an Indian.

pickleball league. So I went from the Indian wedding celebration. Ding the ding the ding the one and one two and then the bun the thing. Yeah. It was great. I like on the Uber right over there. I get the notification. I was like, all right, league, you know, here's how it's going to be. And it's like me and Rapese are a team. And I get to see all of like the people were playing against. So I just screenshoted it and just sent it to Scott and Isaac. I was like, look what I'm up to tonight. And I'm not going to play it. But the voice memo I got back from Scott was one of the funniest thing. I mean, I was dying in the back of the Uber.

Like, having to cover my mouth. Just like, you can imagine. He's just, Scott is like pretending like he's an announcer and he's rattling off like, you know. It's amazing. Tonight, who we have and he's going off all their names. And so every time I would meet them at night, I get, and I'm hearing it in Scott's voice, what he just said to me. It was so good. When we were growing up playing basketball in his driveway, and this is one of those things.

whatever people are so sensitive about racial racial things this is like i don't understand why it's like rate that bad to like talk like somebody else's culture so maybe whatever but he had a character called krepal is his name and krapal would play basketball and he would shoot it in like this stupid like overhand shot somehow like this karpal shot like would work every time so he just drive down the club like oh korpal and so shout to karpal that's probably The similar voice to whatever he was saying, but it was so good. Yeah, Scott's so good at those accents. He is.

But I had a blast. It was a great night. I went over to the Pickler and McKinney. It was in the Indian League, had a blast. It was so stereotypical. I met multiple. I texted, you know, Scott, I was like, how was it? And I go, it's not going to be super surprising.

I met multiple computer programmers and they're giving me a ride home. They're so nice. Yeah. They're Uber and you home. Yeah. That's great. I love that. Yeah, I wonder, what was I going to say? Never mind. Go ahead. But anyway, yeah, met a lot of friends. Great right home. The guy, I really enjoyed the conversation with the guy gave me right home. He's like currently a programmer

at Microsoft. So it was very fun just learning like, dude, tell me about AI and your job and how is it work and is it helpful and who's it coming for. And so anyway, great times. But I had a very Indian weekend. Oh, that's what I was going to say. How did, How did the Indian guys play? Like, what was their style like? So I feel like... Oh, yeah. I don't know.

I'm comparing everything to basketball. But, like, you know, like, you play against, like, these guys, like, like, basketball's big in China. And so sometimes I play, there'd be like these Chinese foreign exchange students at K-State that would want to play basketball. It's like, they just play basketball in a different style than people from Europe than people from, you know, America or whatever. Like, I'm sure that, like, with racket sports, Asians might play differently. because they grew up playing a lot more ping pong versus, you know, Tableton, excuse me, versus like maybe there's more cricket influence in these guys.

Like, could you tell a difference at all in the way they played? I don't know if I can tell like a big, like a huge pattern. Like this is different than like Kansas City white players. One observation I made though is like, you know, I'm on a court full of Indian people. They all probably speak Hindi or, you know, whatever. because they told me they're like, oh, well, there's this other, like, regional language that we also speak. But they're all talking to each other and saying the score in English.

And I feel a little guilt. I'm like, sorry, you're having to, like, do that for me. I assume if I wasn't here, you'd be talking in your native tongue. Yeah. I feel a little white guilt. You know, I'm like, ah, they're saying the score in English. Sorry, I can't speak your language. You ever to speak mine.

You should have asked. You should say, how do I say one, two, one? Yeah. How do you say? You have to say in their accent. how do you say it? One to one. Yeah, I don't even try to say in their language.

I just say it in their accent. Zero, zero, two. Dude, okay. That's reminding me of something. So I talked about a couple weeks ago, going to this place called the local find. And it's like, I'd say it's like China in a store. Like it's like, it's like all these like Amazon returns, but not really, but like somehow surplus goods of some sort.

And it's like, you name it, they got something for you there at the local find. And it's Chinese people. I said I talked to them kind of in like the way that they would talk to me like yeah you have sound machines you have sound machines you have sound machines loud quiet yeah they they make they make noise for when you sleep big room small room baby sleeping baby sleeping first of all these people speak I mean whatever they speak really good English this woman is like really good but um the thing that I noticed that I was like oh this is such a old man boy borderline racist old man thing to do.

I know. I know that it's not racist, but you know what I mean? Like it's like what are you doing? You're so ignorant. I know that these people are Asian. Okay. Yeah. But in my head and and I've been spending so much time with these Guatemalan people and Honduran people that I've been speaking Spanish to. So in my head, I think how would I have how would I say this in Spanish to these people? And then I realized they're foreign, but they're not, you don't speak Spanish. Not everyone that's not white from America speaks Spanish. You know, like, it was like one of those things.

That's funny. I was like, how should I? Because like, that's one way that I feel like you can really win favor with somebody is knowing a few words in their language. And just trying trying to talk to them. And so I was like, how can I say this in Spanish? And I was like, you idiot. She doesn't speak Spanish. How?

That's so funny. It's funny like muscle memory. Like over the last six months, you're like, I'm pretty used to like speaking Spanish now. Like just trying to like say it in English and then like saying the same thing in Spanish like kind of be like, hey, look at me. I know a few words, you know. And so I did. I thought like, how do I say like when you when you sleep, you know, when you sleep? You know, when to dormier, you know. I was like, I can't say that. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Arrigato. Thank you. Dude, that reminds me that like big room, small room, baby sleeping. I was voice blowing you this while I was doing us. But Rachel and I did something for the first time.

time like that scene in the office like this way that way where did he go did you see him we don't know yeah rachel and i got a little bored by like night three at the resort right we got to do something and so we did you know i've said my greatest you know fantasy would be rachel gets kidnapped we kind of did that ourselves where rachel got a 30 minute head start to walk around and i went to try and find her it was pretty fun we did have a little misjudication on what the like the the the thing was and where we could go. So it took me a little longer. That's what I saw the coyotes though. So not all is lost, but fun little game for husbands and wives just try and like sniff around like, what would my wife like to do around here? Did she eventually stop? Like did she eventually like sit still somewhere?

And yes. So it's like I'm going to walk for 30 minutes. Then I'm going to sit and I'll text you and then you come find me. Okay. And then we're aspects of it was like it's nice out. It's like eight o'clock at sunset. There's no chance she's indoors. So we know that. Like I know I'm going to find her on a patio or something somewhere. I just have to find it. Anyway, it's kind of a fun little game. I like that. Good for y'all. So you did find her eventually? Yeah, I did. Yeah.

Okay. It was great. Love it. Yeah, you text, yeah, you, you voice memo me that. And I was like, okay, they're, they're in that stage of the, of the resort time. They're ready to be in St. Louis. Yeah, where are we going to learn? They're like, we can't just chill at a hotel for too long. Like, all right. You got to move. Hey, it's a mainstream roaster season. What's going on with that?

They're doing this promo code right now, GRKC for 10% off. Is that nationwide? They're doing it for all dads, people that have had dads, people that have been made by dads, people who know somebody who's a dad, or people who are fans of modern family. Which features dads? Some dads in there. I don't know. I don't know if that's correlated or if they're just...

That might just been a random one-off partnership. But nonetheless, we know with absolute certainty that you can get 10% off for the dad or dad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad-ad in your life with the promo code GR-KC for all your coffee needs, K-cups, K-C-Rounds. And, I mean, those are kind of the basics. There's other stuff, too, but, I mean, that kind of covers all of the coffee basics. That's pretty much it. Let's see. Can you see this coffee? Oh, look at that little coffee set up there from HomeBase Getaways.

Whoa. Multiple, multiple Kiroffs there? Right, we got, we got drip coffee. we got what's it called kickups boom what do you want you want it french press no problem we'll put it in there either way no matter what the best coffee that you can taste is from mainstream roaster so masonroaster.com g rkc 10% off pango you have pigo ball at the resort i know yeah we should have done a place that it had a little more activity because that oh no no i'm not blaming you i'm blaming the resort you're right that's it's pickleball is very

adjacent to golf in the regard of like the demographic is there's some bin diagram there yeah you know overlapping i'm surprised they don't just like have a one pickleball court or something make it happen that's their fault dude yeah um let me just i i'm looking at my notes real quick i i don't have much written down i will share one one story i don't even know if this is worth it's shared whatever i i think i've done this once before as well i threw a banana peel out and And I didn't make it all the way to the grass and it landed on the sidewalk and I felt really bad about it. I basically like real life Mario carded it. It's got a bio degrade on the sidewalk, I guess.

I don't know. I don't know. It feels different than the grass. I'm now making somebody else like scrape it onto the grass or something. I don't know. So I felt really bad about that. And I think somebody saw me do it. I don't know if they for sure saw me, but there was a car coming the other way.

I'm just learning that I don't have very accurate throws when I'm throwing across the entire truck out the window. You're a second basement. Yeah. Turning two. Exactly. I did. I kind of flicked it that way. But the weird thing, have you ever heard the song?

It goes like this. Can I kick it? Yes, can. Yeah. So the other day when I was at coffee with Caleb, Matrix Roasters South, that song came on. and that's a fun song and so I as I was leaving I listened to it and then after it was over I probably talk about it improv exercise I probably said that line 25 different times and try to just do it in 25 different ways to myself like this can I kick it yes you can

hey can I kick it oh yeah you can Can I kick yeah? Yeah, you can, man. You know, and like, I just, I just went on and on by myself as I'm driving. Just doing that. And this is your, real quick. Oh, sure, yeah, man. Yeah, you can.

No problem. Instead of name 100 women, name 100 colors. Name 100. Can I kick it? Yeah. I just, I mean, and I was, granted, I think I was on like four hours of sleep. and it was like 7.30 in the morning, so I was a little bit loopy at this point.

Just trying to stay awake. Do you mind if I kick it? Hey, dude. Can I kick it with you or something? Oh, yeah, you can. Is it a World Cup? Hey, World Cup die. Let's kick.

I'm Chinese. Sorry for the Mexican accent. Anyway, can I kick it? Oh, yeah, you can. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead, ombre. Kick it all you want. So anyway, that's, I don't know.

It's a fun game if you ever, if you're a boy, just ask yourself, can I kick it? And then you say, yes, you can many times you want. I have heard there, there's some sentence out there where based on which word you put the emphasis on, it changes the meaning entirely. You know, one of those perfect senses like each word could have a vastly different meaning. I forget what the sentence is, but. Yes. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah.

Can I can. I kick it? Yeah. Can I kick it? Can I kick it? Can I kick it? Or may I kick it? Yeah.

You're right. Every time. That was the perfect sentence. That was the one you were thinking. That was it. I've got one last story. And I think I'm all out. Oh, this is the night of me and Rapiche in the ride home.

and so I get back to the hotel. I don't even get back to like 11 or something. It was a late night of pickleball. And I'm texting Rachel and she, she's not responding. It's like, okay, she's asleep. Okay, great. Why I need dinner?

So maybe I'll try to like get room service, but not bring it up to the room because I don't want to wake her up. I'll just like order room service and eat it in the lobby or something. They say, that closed at 10. You can go to the bar. I go to the bar. I say, you guys still do appetizers? They know that's closed down too.

Dang, that's too bad. I'm quite a bit to be at this hotel. I can't get food. can't get dinner. So then I'm like, I guess I'll just door dash something. Okay, great. Waterburger was open. That sounded really good.

I was like, dude, it could be hours to get Waterburger here. Wingstop was running a promo. Like, we'll get it to you right now in 20 minutes. It's like, fine. Okay. So I get my wing stop. What kind of wings are you going with these, guys? I did half, like, honey barbecue and half garlic parmesan.

Fun. That sounds good. Yeah. And I'm going to eat them in the lobby. air conditioners freezing cold though and like kind of some drunk people have kind of got close to me so you know what i'll go outside they have so many tables of chairs outside i'll see out there it'd be a nice little night to myself i got i got a gatorade and a bag full of wing stop and my pickleball bag and as soon as i step outside two girls sitting at a table stop me and they go hey what is that what's that bag

i go oh it's uh it's for pickleball gear so i've got like paddles and shoes in there And they go, oh, we thought it was like for a cat. You thought it was like a little window for a cat? Because it is a ginormous bag. Come on, Mr. Whiskers. Let's eat our wings outside today. Come on. I know you like the gar.

Like, I'll save you one. And these girls, let me paint an accurate picture, are not wearing a ton of clothing. It's kind of like a, it's like midnight at this point. And it looks like they're dressed to go to like Power Life or like Pilates. Just like tank tops. like at leisure like spandex okay at a hotel at midnight okay just a little different

visually than like the other people there who would like dress pretty nice and whatnot think their day past people in a way okay in a way oh really so um staying there just kind of hold my wing stop chatting and honestly curiosity gets the best of me a little bit

because they've got three cell phones on the table And I'm like, I'm just so curious. I go, all right, well, you ask me a question about the back. Can I ask you? I was like, what's the third cell phone? And they go, oh, we do some private investigating. And I was like, like, professionally? And they're like, no, no, no, it's just for checking in all things.

I was like, what does that mean? They're like, we like do some lurking. Like, don't let girls, you know, get after on Instagram or something. So I'm like, I don't even know what that means. exactly like, huh? Crazy. Well, best luck, they go, hey, have a seat. We'll show you how it's done.

I go, oh, I got garlic in here. It smells. No, you don't want to. Cats out of the bag, so I got to get back in. So then there are like a bunch of fire pits in this area. And so I go down as far as possible, like all the way down the steps of the furthest fire pit away. Okay. And just having like a nice night to myself, just eating my wing stop on my phone in front of the fire.

And I'm thinking like, all right, I think one more wing. And I'm going to call it. I'm going to go upstairs. And then what do you know? I'm on my last wing. And these two girls come down and they sit next to me at this fire. And they're like, hey, I hope you don't mind. We've got a little cold.

We're just looking for some fire. And there's to be a good one. And now I'm sweating. I'm like, dude, what is this? I don't like this. Obviously, I'm going to be fine. I'll get out of this. But like, even just like, what if someone knows?

I've been recognized a few times. Someone sees me doing this? I look. Carter Files is not what it looks like. Yeah. I mean, who knows? I mean, yeah, just eating Wingstop with a Gatorade with these two girls. Yeah.

And so then there's like, chat me up and I'm just like trying to get out of there. And then the first moment I can, yeah, they're like, I don't know. I just didn't like the questions they're telling me where they live and all this stuff. And I'm like, I got to go. I got to go. And I get out of there. But there was a part of me. I was like, I still got it.

with the cat bag times in life it's like I still this happens to be I could still I could still get two girls like this yeah dude you know how we talk about like sometimes someone will like call you and it feels like a scam but you're like they didn't really ask for anything like what was the scam going to be this felt like that a little bit like what is the end game we're here yeah yeah like there was no call to action but like what did you want this like post sweaty guy with a gatorade and some wings i have to have him like there's no way there's no way they're just like i bet he has croppedops at home like yeah what we're both of them interested like what was the end goal i don't know how this stuff works yeah but i can't remember did you watch white lotus have you seen that show uh no i know about it i think i've seen

i know about it i don't think of the whole episode but yeah well for those who have seen white lotus Lotus, I couldn't help but think this is the exact scenario of the two Italian girls and White Lotus Season 2. They don't actually stay at the resort. They just hang around. And I think they are kind of like under the table escorts. Yeah. And then like later they're like, all right, pay me. And you're like, oh, I thought you actually liked me. Really? That is what I think was going on. They're like playing. Yeah. Like, because the people that stay at a resort are probably wealthy enough. Yeah. Yeah. I like saw it firsthand. I was like, whoa, that was crazy. but I still got it.

But it's really just me, dude. It's just my aura, man. Our pro, dude. Yeah, the cat's name is aura. Congrats, man. Congrats on you and your cat. Yeah, it was kind of crazy. I mean, I couldn't wait for Rachel to wake up.

Like, I have so much to tell you about. I just played three hours with Rapiche, got a ride home from a different guy, and then got hounded by two women. They chased me around. Like, sure you did, pal. Yeah. Visit BetMGM casino and check out the newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick.

Okay. Granted, I kind of like, I basically told the kids, like, you need to clean up the house before we have breakfast. Like, it is too messy.

And I was like, all right, I need a flat head. You have a flat head. He's like, I got a flat head. I was like, all right, let's see. And is that screw there that?

I need a small screw. Is that a Phillips head or a flat head on that screw? He's like, this one's a Phillips. I'll get, I'll get it. Every once in a while when he gets in these moods, he, like, really, like, gets, like, really responsible. and like that acts like a big kid and we went to retail rebel i told him we were going to no way and so you know we print off the whole thing he's the one finding all the things so he's got to find

like what box it's in then once you find the box you got to read the right code and find it find the right package and fix leigh came home watched uh dude perfect uh the new dude perfect over time now and then we ended it by wrestling uh in the hot tub he's like i really want to wrestling. Like, okay, let's go. And so, wrestle for a while. It was awesome. What a dream. It was great. It was so fun. And I think he, he probably needed a day away from his sisters to just be more of a boy. But it's so fun, dude, like, even watching him, like, connect the dots with these doorknobs. Because, like, they kind of, obviously, they kind of have these rods that, like, fit together. And so he, like, connected him. He's like, I'm making a cannon out of this doorknob.

And it was, like, shooting, like, screws out of it and stuff. Like, having some. so much funny. He's like, can I keep this old doorknob to use as a can? And I was like, sure, man. Yeah. But I mean, he did he did awesome and he helped me out. Like truly it was like actually helped me. Like this was a, this was a help. That's really cool. It was fun. Yeah. And and I feel like now he he has a little bit of ownership in the house. Like he's going to come back and be like, you see that? I helped I help put that lock in. You know, we did that together. Dad and I did. Yeah. So the keys, the keys and dad's truck. Yeah. Yeah. He's got like check in like, you know,

You know, he hears you telling some story like, yeah, I got some interest in his house. He goes, and everything go with the doorknobs? You haven't heard anything. And the doork, if they're not, we can go fix him. I can come back if need me. Yeah, he was awesome. Like, it was so fun to like, it's fun to watch him step up because sometimes he acts so awesome when I ask him to step up. And other times, he'll act like a two-year-old.

And I'm like, what? How? What I mean? You know, and so the, and I feel like it's happening more and more where he's rising to the call rather than, you know, falling. And so it's just really fun to see him. Dude, how cool. Yeah, grow. So anyway, shout out to my time with Bo. That was a huge highlight for me. It was like, that was awesome. Like if I can do that more, like where we can just like, and of course, now Haddy's like, well, I want to have a day with you. I was like, hey.

Okay, we'll figure that out next. Got any more doorknob cannons? Yeah, exactly. So anyway, that was great. Time with Bo. One of the week. That's fun.

You know, you're like, all right, people are liking this. People, yeah, the momentum is rolling. Like, hey, Naomi's not available, but her sister is. Okay, no problem.

A win's a win. Like that one? That's really good. That's really good. Win's a win, dude. We might have to get you in the group text. Hey, put me in there. Just for times like that, and then I'll get out.
