All right. Guys, we're back. Whoa. Since when? I basically don't have a cold anymore. I got a nice microphone. I got a nice audio interface. It feels like we're close to back.

I got, uh, Rachel and I got all of us. Um, we got an, we got an email about our stuff. So that's good. Dude, an email is like almost real mail. So it's like, hey, we e know where they are.

Like, seriously? Yeah, they said, we will E let you know soon. No, we did get some good updates. I think by the next time we record, should have our stuff. I think Bondi Bowls should be up in the next time we record. Oh, no. Dude, how long has it been?

Our stuff got shipped out on May 28th. May 28th and it is currently June 18th. So that's 36 days, right? 8 plus 8 is 16. Has to be. That has to be 36 days. Dude, you want to talk about, sorry. Yeah, go ahead.

No, I want to talk about. I want to talk about how much, what do they call it? Like when your mind is in a blender, they say that? Yeah. Oh, my mind is just in a blender, dude. Like with people, like, when people are like hey you know it's been it's Friday and now it's Wednesday so that's six days and I'm like oh but then sometimes it's like four days and sometimes it's like five you

don't talk about like depends on how you quantify the days like is Friday one of the days or is it Friday to Wednesday and then in between is like Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, four days. I'd say that puts me in a miniature blender but that puts me in a frother thinking about that. A little personalized blender. I think this is maybe a part of my take, talk about this. But it's kind of the same thing where like, it's hard for me to know from Friday to Wednesday. How long is that? Like when you're losing like bot, like if the score is 31 to 19, it's like, dude, we're getting killed.

But if it was the same deficit, just like 20 to 32, I mean, we're right there. There's something about like two iterations of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. From May 28th to July 2nd is five years. How long is that? You know? I don't know. But from like, you know, June 15th to July 28th, not as bad.

Oh, that's like a month. Yeah, yeah, like a little over a month. But from late May to early July, you're like, geez. Jeez, man. I'm really getting. How many laps around the sun is that? I'm really getting my own here. we glad to have it back

we're bringing it back i don't care what they say because we didn't really have it the first time all right so we're bringing it back and i even have my own you oh yeah do you really oh what's mine oh pitch up whoa mine i just i just i just press this a bunch of times it says pitch up so i think if i would have talked bam bam oh this doesn't even really change me at all pitch up hey pitch up oh i'm in the wrong i'm in the wrong input for this i think in the wrong channel

yeah it would only work on your old microphone back in the day dude i don't know why but my input one on this roadcaster's not working right so i'm an input two guy now i'm an i'm an i too oh right on right on yeah so you can go pitch up you want to pitch up let's see if again and then run the theme song from there check check how we doing do i have to hold it oh you have to hold it oh you have to hold it Oh, uh-oh. Ooh, I do I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts And 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. All right. That's what we need to do from now on is just surprise each other with new like effects and like sound, you know, sound bites and everything. We should. That can't take that long, you know,

I look into it. And then it's so amazing, dude. It's like, you know, we're, you normally record on Thursdays and it's always like, man, we got all week to think about things. I'll, I'll do it later. And then it's always like,

that, shoot, probably should have done that. Like this morning, this morning I was planning, like, we're not recording until 11 a.m. My time now,

which gives me a little bit of time in the morning to like think about podcast stuff. But then Catherine's like, hey, do you mind, you know, I got to go early to this thing at church. Can you bring the kids after you feed them breakfast?

And all of a sudden, And it's like I had, you know, 30 minutes before we recorded all of a sudden, you know, so I can't, I can't wait until the last minute. I don't know if there's a life lesson in there or what, but somebody needs to figure that out. I was proud of myself yesterday. I set time aside to get my studio ready in these people's, you know, abandoned house and broadcast everything plugged in, you know, and I'm glad I did because there's some real problem solving going on.

I hope you could see, I found a mic stand in the house. I was like, how perfect is that? And then I went to plug the mic in. and it's it's the wrong size but i found this clip show me a little bit more yeah that looks like it's going to definitely hold it yes this will fall on my crotch at some point in the next two hours it's not if it's when it's not just necessarily pitch up pitch up ah pitch me up is here it just falls on jaygus oh the mike fell Oh, you press it at the same time.

We were both hitting the effects hard at the same time there. That was that going to work. Poor Coley. Coley had a hard time with all that. He had to, you know, edit this thing last week for us. And anyway, he's like, yeah, I missed some of the sound effects. My bad. I didn't realize they were there, whatever.

And now we're just adding them at the same exact time. So good luck, Cully, for all that. Yeah, I know. Last week was like, all right, I recorded it separately on the voice memo's apps. You could do this. Also, everything you're about to learn how to do, we'll never have to do it. it again this way. So yeah, yeah, I'm going to figure it out after.

Yeah, a little bit different. Like, yeah, order of operations again. So, um, okay, so you're getting your stuff back. That's big time. Yes, it has been quite the, um, the back and forth because let me think from memory. What happened first? Oh, one. I was just annoyed at little stuff.

I think you would maybe get annoyed at this too. Just like, come on. Um, I emailed Lexi after hours. Mm, like, and you get an automated reply. And the automated reply. No, I've talked to Lexi on the phone. Hey, don't. That's not enough for me.

I don't mean nothing. Nice try, Lexi. Lexi's too good of a name for AI. Have you tried our new AI assistant Lexi? Dude, that's a good point. Thank you. She said I've been in this industry 30 years and da-da-da-da-da-da. We'll get to that later.

But Lexi's not a name who's been working 30 years. Is it? I don't think so. If so, she rebranded halfway through. Hugh Alexis for a while and all of a sudden decide. Yeah, Lexi, Lexi's a newer name. Lexi's an our age name. Millennial.

Unless she's been at it since she was a little kid, you know. Sure, I didn't ask. She might have been homeschooled and they just started her early on the moving game. I don't know. But the automated reply said, uh, thank you for your email. I'm out of office right now. I'm like, we can't get the tea on thank you.

No, can't afford it. You know? For the automated reply? This goes out. How many times a day? Hank you. Thank you, Hank you, Hank's.

Tom, Tom, you. Tom, Hank you. Very little thing, but just I feel like encompasses who I'm dealing with. Was the age capitalized? Did you notice? Good question. That's important to me. Yeah, what does that signify?

She typed it out, Hank you for your email in a phone, which phone should have corrected it. If it was typed out in a computer, I think Hank would have just been fine on the computer. And that's just negligence. I don't know. That must have been like its own email thread. I don't see it in here. Hank you. Hank you.

Um, okay, but that's big time. And you do believe them that like what makes you believe that they have it and not just because they've been stringing you along for a while. No, I guess before they said that we don't know where your stuff is. Right? Yeah. I think before. It's a bold thing to just acknowledge.

Like I wouldn't say that. I would just say, I would just say, we're going to get back to you in a few days. I would just keep pushing it back. I wouldn't say, we don't know where it is. Keep kicking the can. Yeah, don't be like. Yeah. In writing, I'm just going to let you know real quick.

No clue. No idea. Could be in Canada, could be in Guatemala. We don't know. I do appreciate all the ghosties like trying to help coming to my defense, sharing their personal stories. So I've interacted a lot with ghosties on Facebook. So I can't really remember what I've said on the podcast and the timeline of things.

But I learned that they had to contain her. it. Does that sound familiar? Did I tell you about that? Maybe. I've been reading a little bit of the Facebook stuff a little bit, but no. That was so confusing because everything left my house on a moving truck. And correct me if I'm wrong, but a moving truck feels perfect

to move my stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got, there was a moving truck. It was the ones that have wheels. It was a four-wheeled moving truck. And if you want to know how long it was, I can have the guy step it off for you again. It was 17 steps in a size 9.5. Yeah, I bet it's about 12.5 feet.

Dude, quick aside, what size shoe do you wear? Nine and a half wide, but I'm afraid it's getting smaller. Oh, good for you. It's embarrassing. Well, what do you mean? I think my feet are getting smaller. Getting smaller. Yeah.

You're just losing weight everywhere. Yeah. My toe rings don't fit anymore. It's got, yeah. My middle toe ring is now going to. on my big toe. It's embarrassing. Yeah, I'm going to have to get back on creatines so my my rings. Toe rings. Who's wearing toe rings? Are people, it's anybody or is Rachel's not wearing a toe ring? Well, maybe Arizona Rachel is. I don't know. I don't know.

Arizona Rach is not wearing toe rings. I bet there's some millennials. I bet there's some people in Stratford wearing toe rings. You think so? Yeah, going to the lake. I mean, but I know that there's some people out there wearing rings, but I don't know if they're there gravitating down south yet. To the toe is what I mean. I don't know. To rings was a thing. To socks, toe rings, tow, those toe shoes. I've been getting targeted ads.

Tofu made a run there for a little bit. Yeah. I've been getting ads for toe socks. And I don't love that it thinks I'm even somewhat in the market for those. Can I be honest? If you're saying that, I've been getting tons of ads for Blue Chew. And that's all I'm going to say about it.

That's all I'm going to say. You can look it up if you want to. But I'm like, what am I giving off? What is my phone hearing that makes, makes you think I need that? I don't know. That's a great sketch or Seinfeld episode or something like your modern Seinfeld. Your phone overhears you talking about how you can't get your lawnmower started. But, you know, the innuendoes just make it seem like your phone's like, oh, I know he's going through.

I'm going to prime the pump first. I'm in private my own life. Gadswood lay off. It'll be ready when it's ready. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know how to do this. My dad's don't know how. Okay. Just trust me. Get the, get the grass a little bit lower and it'll help.

Just give me a few seconds. I'm so jealous of you, man. I'm so jealous that you have to pitch up, but I don't. I will figure this out. Oh my gosh. Roadcaster. She's back. She's back, baby. Um, so anyway, I don't know why I'm getting those ads. I don't know why you're getting tow sock at like, like, like somebody's paying a decent amount of money for tow sock ads and they're thinking we figured out exactly who needs these and it's this guy right here socks got to be a tough industry to make money in too what do you correct just you got to sell a lot of socks correct a lot of socks i just i don't want to do anything that i don't want to sell anything that's less than two hundred dollars that's that's you got to find a lot of them like like

pickleball paddles you guys have to like really broaden that that net yeah two for 99 it was it was stuff for that first year. You're like all of a sudden like you know what? It's kind of helpful when you sell stuff for like 189 instead of a you know 45 bucks each. Yeah this is awesome. This is awesome. Anyway, moving stuff. They had to containerize it which she told me that over the phone. And so I kept just being like I don't know like these industry terms. Can you like tell me exactly what is happening and like where is it happening? And I do think I want to be um, respectful benefit of the doubt. I think there could be like an intelligence gap here

where it's just, it's never going to be how I want it to be. But also, there's a part of me that thinks I think she's intentionally keeping me in the dark and using weird terminology. It is giving me the bare minimum of information because this is so just like chaotic. But at the time, she said,

we containerize it, you know, in our warehouse. So then I'm having to ask, well, where is your warehouse? And she goes, it's in Colorado. And so I said, so my stuff is in Colorado? Well, we don't know if it's left Kansas City yet. Okay, so as of last week, it was either in Kansas City or Colorado. And then, let's see, a couple days ago, hi, Jake. I just received confirmation.

We are good to go 100% for delivery, June 20th. I said, great. Okay. Okay. 100% is a bold move. Bold, bold strategy. So she's feeling good about it. I said, so it's been at the warehouse in Colorado this whole time.

Can you confirm that if the stuff arrives on June 20th, we will receive $100 per day past the 8th in a delayed allowance? And she said, your shipment was awaiting transport and was secured at our warehouse. It has now, yeah, period. It has now arrived at destination and will deliver June 20th. Once the shipment That was AI She glitched She was supposed to say

The destination She used the word destination Instead of the specific destination That's what I'm wondering So I go Okay thanks for the update Although I'm still confused By your terminology

You said it's now Arrived at destination Wouldn't Gilbert Arizona Be the destination Correct Also who is the agent She said Pending the agent's first availability

I'm like who is the agent Is this synonymous with truck driver Is this someone I need A word for it Yeah Yeah, it's like a senior consultant will be bringing it by soon. It's like he drives a truck.

He's not a senior consultant. Our VP of transportation. It just feels like every email she sends, I have to be like, can you dumb it down for me? Oh, hey, Lexi, real quick, I don't work for this company. So I don't know any of the words you're using. Like, even if it makes you think less of me,

so be it. Just talk to me like I'm eight. Makes you think Lex of me. I don't care. Let's do it. Yeah, there's something. something there, man. She's, she might be AI. I don't know what to tell you. Okay, but 100%. Okay, so she hasn't, she hasn't confirmed about the 12 days, 12 days, $1,200. Well, it depends

on how many, eighth to the 20th. Is that 12 days? This is what I thought of earlier. Do we count the 20th? So I think I'm either getting $1,100 or $1,200. So that's pretty fun, actually. You should stretch it out, be like, listen, actually, technically, it was the seventh, which is, you know, you know, whatever. And then all of a sudden, you get 18 days. that's exciting yeah you get a little bit of a you know little stipend i get a little stipe i'd pack in a suitcase for $1,200 i live out exactly for a little while yeah i have air conditioning i have food i'm fine yeah dude rachel doesn't have her contacts she can wear glasses uh that's a bum she didn't bring any contacts or did she like run out ran out she wears dailies

okay so she brought it up for what she thought would be you know our time away from our stuff Did she start seeing the writing on the wall and try to make them triple dailies? Well, I'll tell you, she wasn't seeing much of anything. She wasn't seen writing. That wall had to be pretty close to her. No, yeah, she started getting contacts lotion. And yeah, it's like stretching them out for a couple days now. I've always wondered, I used to be a contacts guy, pre-Lasic.

And it was always like two weeks contacts. And I was like, I'm wearing these things until they rip out of my eyes. Like, they'll be fine. I took them out every night. But like, until they didn't work anymore, I was keeping them. but I don't know. I didn't know if the Daileys was the same way or not. Probably not.

Daily's though. If they're good enough for one day, how much worse are they for multiple days? Yeah, what happens on the second day? Man, Rachel, get LASIC. Well, no, she was the one that said she heard all those, like, there's like correlations between LASIC surgery and depression.

Do you remember that? Which I don't know. Is it when they botched the surgery? Is that when they come? I think if it goes bad, it's really bad and you're miserable and you don't want to be here anymore. Okay. It's not like a successful surgery and too bad. You're still, you're going to be depressed.

Like, it's kind of rainy out right now and I'm just, I want to just throw this microphone. I think it's that plus my uncle John telling her that his, how does he say it? My eye doctor still wears glasses. Oh, right. So. Yeah, the fix is in. Yeah. I've learned that you can run out of like LASIC doesn't last forever is what I've heard

I'm going to have to have glasses at some point in my life again or get or a second Lays. Yeah, second Lays or maybe catarra or glass. Wow. Yeah. So anyway. Okay. What else is going on in there? What's the culture like there compared to what we're used to here?

Have you noticed anything different about the people there? Like people always love to talk about that. And I'm always like, I think people are. people, right? Have you noticed anything different about these people? Yeah, it's a good question. And I think I'm with you. No, people are nice, a lot of places. Yeah. People are friendly, a lot of places. I think it's more an American thing compared to internationally than it is like Midwest versus West Coast. Okay, okay. Yeah, because there was somebody, I picked up Facebook marketplace the other day, and they were from, what's it called? Spokane, Washington. And they were like, oh, you'd be surprised

how much nicer you guys are here than than they are in Spokane. I was like, really? Spokane seems like it's not doing well enough to be mean. Like you got to be kind of, you got to be humble with your from Spokane. No one knows anything about Spokane. Why are they mean?

You know, but she was like, no, that's just what Midwesterners say because that's what, you know, Midwesterners just nice all the time to people. Like, really? So I was reading a Reddit thread on foreigners who have come to America for the World Cup and even Kansas City and yeah that was kind of what made me think of this because they all said the same thing they were like I I've never been like talked to at a grocery

store like this like this is not customary in my home country or in my culture or just like people on the sidewalk looking at me speaking to me it pretty much across the board on Reddit they were just like Americans are so nice so polite so friendly so outgoing yeah I think it's just American thing not a Midwest thing people here are great too yes good okay Yeah, I have enjoyed some of those videos. I don't know. I'm not on Instagram. I think Instagram is, if we're ranking the,

the social media platforms, Instagram is far and away the best. Is that fair? Like not even a, I don't even know who you'd argue number two. Maybe TikTok, maybe Twitter, not Facebook. As a millennial, even as a creator,

Instagram, by far my favorite. I just don't. maybe TikTok, but only if you want to be strictly entertained. Because you're not getting updates at all on TikTok. And you think you were getting like World Cup updates? I think that if I were on Instagram, I'd see more of those videos of the American. There are people love in America.

I haven't seen those except for whenever Catherine will show me them or every once in a while, I'll go Instagram on the desktop, on the laptop. And I'll look at some things. I like keeping up with Friday every once in a while and stuff. and so, um, so I'll just see what's going on there. See if Johnny Yusuf, you know, shaved his head again or whatever. So I'll get on there. But, um, yeah, I just don't, I don't see him like I used to.

And I think it's because Instagram is the only one that actually like provides like good content. Like they know what to provide compared to the other ones. Yeah. Instagram is good. It's better, you know, for stuff too, but like TikTok's almost too good where it's just sucks you in to the point where it's like, I don't know what just happened. Can you see me? it's so hard to see you dude hey we're here talking about

main street roaster it's so hard to even think in these bad boys you look like a you look like a small robot you look like your voices I like this you're just that's too much you're just rubbing in the fact that you can do it and I can't

sorry man I am perplexed right now all right um did those come from haley herman or did you are those yours i bought some for the uh the young adults weekend the that thing i did and it was wild dude i think rachel knew someone who went to that she told me this recently i forgot to pass this long to you and rachel was like oh how how was that how was like the entertainment and she said it was really really funny oh good from what i remember she said uh i don't remember anything he said but i remember love it or something like that.

That's really cool. That brings you two to my eye. That's awesome. Thank you for those kind words. They never grow weary or old. Hey, speaking of Main Street Roasters. Rachel got me something for our new house. She said something to the effect of Main Street

Rosser. She didn't say it properly, but I was like, no, it's Major Roasters. To the effect of Main Street Roasters needs to come out of a quality, coffee machine. We had like a $15 one you'd find in the teacher's lounge. So because I'm in my coffee kick right now, little cold brew, little drip coffee. I can even do some decaf espresso in there late at night. I don't know, whatever I'm up to. I like doing all those things. She got my new coffee machine and I'm going to go nuts with major roasters. That's all I'm trying to say. Do you know what kind you got? I'm just curious at this point. It's from a ninja. Ninja. The Ninja Lux Cafe.

That's funny. Mine, you, never mind. I'm not going to censor that. It's awesome, dude. What does yours say? I'm not going to tell you. Yours is, no, I'm not going to. That would hit too close to home for people.

Oh, man. It's too far. Too far. Is yours not Ninja brand? No, okay. I'm not going to. We can't do it. Anyway, I want to save her bread.

Hey, bud. I really am excited to have way more coffee at home because you have a good coffee machine. Bo, you tell them. Bo, do you, does dad like to drink coffee? Yeah. How often? Every morning. Every morning.

Wow. Coffee I drink. You know what's called? Main Street. Main Street Roasters. I'm talking about man. You have a bunch of chips in your mouth. Uh-huh, because they ate kids for lunch.

Uh, does coffee make me feel better or worse, do you think? Better? Better. Better, big time, better. Good. Someone else bo helps me out with make the coffee, don't you? Uh-huh. Yeah.

Uh, we're talking about how awesome coffee is, so can you say something nice about coffee? Um, I like making it. Yeah, you like making it? Does it smell good? Uh-huh. Good. All right, you heard it here first. If you want your kids to smell nice things, go to mainstream roaster.com, use promo

code. Let me see if I can read it real quick. GRKC and go from there. Nchruis.com. GRKC, 10% off. Wow. Wow. You'll put these on? Yeah, for the next ad read. Let's get bowing them. I like just the entire ecosystem on Instagram is great. Facebook, there's too much going on. TikTok, the only thing going on is swiping where Instagram, it's like, you have stories and you have DMs. And it's just a good middle ground of things going on. You never know where you're going to get on Facebook. Truly. I don't know.

I don't know what to expect right now. I don't know what we do. Our quarterly like Facebook feed, just like what's on the homepage? Let's do it. I, yeah, I'm getting all sorts of stuff right now.

I'm getting a bunch of these like AI generated pictures of athletes that are like, you know, which one of these guys is giving up their seat for Kobe Bryant? And it's like all different people sitting down. And now I'm starting to get him for like comedians. Like which one of these guys giving up their seat for Dave Chappelle? You know, or like I'm getting all these like Seinfeld like random things. Let me just pull up my.

Here's my first one. And this is this is the first thing. What did I do to deserve this? It's a company called Born Primitive. And it's some, it looks like a Hoka knockoff built in red, white, and blue. It's got 1776 on the back of the shoe. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Born primitive. I've heard of them. They're like, I think they're like pretty conservative like sports company.

All right. I got a Georgienko clip with Alex Hormosey. They're feeding me a lot of Hormosey lately. They think I really need Hormosey and they think I need some blue choose. So I don't know what's going. A little, little row back. Oh, fine tuning the 2H backhand from a little pickleball action. I mean, I do love pickleball, but they think I'm really into that. I don't know. Let's see. Oh, I've been recently, I watched fine tuning hand backhand. We both got it. Okay.

I've been, I watched one video on, is it O's or Oz Perlman? I think it's Oz. I watched one video on him. And now they think, let's let's try out. Let's trickle in some more Oz for Brad.

See if he wants that. Yeah, you just never. Have you heard of this guy Derek Cahill? No. He's a comedian, but he does this clip. I mean,

it's very vulgar, but he does these like videos, like his little short. short videos at his house called F this house. F this house. And he basically is just a homeowner. He's like being a homeowner is the worst. I have to worry about all these things. He tries to fix all these things of self.

And he's like truly bad at it. And he's, it's pretty funny, but also pretty vulgar. I get stuff from him. Oh, here we go. Pick two to build the greatest twin towers in history. And it's like this AI clip of, you know, wimby, Dirk, Bill Russell, Hakeem. KG, Carl Malone, Willett Chamberlain, Karima Dool's Bar. Like, I get a lot of those things. Like rubric for being a twin tower.

What am I looking for in Twin Towers? Also, yeah, there are a few people here aren't towers. They're just really tall basketball players. Car Malone, not a tower. Kevin Garnett, even, not a tower. I don't think. I don't know how tall Carl Malone was, but he's not nearly as tall as like Wimby, Wilt.

I don't know. I don't think he was a center. I think he was a power forward. Um, last one for me from Fanduel. Graphics we never got to use broken heart emoji. And then it's Wemby saying silence the garden period. Fendul's better than that. Fanduel's way better than that.

That's not even a pun. Wait, do something with gardening. Silence the guy. Or New York. Yeah. Maybe they think I need to do side hustles. How much can I actually make doing Uber Eats in 2026? This guy wants me to.

See? Elise Myers is getting back on the on the algorithm if you know her. I haven't seen her in a while apparently. Yeah. He's back or I'm back on Elise Meyer. I don't know. You know like like like it's like did people, did people just like lose it or stop posting or is it just like they don't show me

them anymore because I I scrolled one too many times without watching it. It is tough to know like oh, did they take a mental health break or they just kind of not been crushing it? Yeah, I don't know a couple years. I don't know. Like Matt Rife. Is he still crushing it? Because man was Matt Rife everywhere for a while on my stuff.

And now I don't see him very much. I listen to him on Theo Vaughn's podcast last week. And is he still, is he still like doing big tours and stuff? Yeah, still touring. Okay. Yeah. He's doing okay. Cool.

There you go. There you have it. I have a little story for you. So last night, long story short, the kids went to a sports camp all week, Bowen, Bowen, had he did they played they did like a free like church camp for like you do their soccer basketball or or cheerleading they both basketball i was so proud of them i think low key dude uh haddy is maybe a very very slight tomboy like just slightly cool that's a good amount i think yeah like she she's definitely still like a girl loves dolls loves you know whatever i'm not whatever get into the gender roll stuff all you i don't know

But I'm just saying like she has girly tendencies, loves all these sweet things, but also like does not care one iota about her or what she wears. Like Catherine has to like be like, hey, you can't, you can't wear that. Like doesn't know or doesn't care. Doesn't notice anybody else and her friends like what they wear and all this stuff. Whereas Rosie is like so into her like fashion. Wow. Wear the right thing.

That's cool. And also like had he played. Yeah, she decided to do basketball. and she was one of only two girls out of like 40 kids that did basketball her age. Like there were tons of kids and she was like, yeah, I was one of the two girls. And she's like, I got some steals. I scored a point one time, you know, like all these things. And so anyway, last night was the like the culmination.

They had like a like a church at like a cookout and, you know, they show up their skills. And we got to meet their counselors, all this stuff. So afterwards, though, I needed to go buy my new Airbnb to, you know, basically coordinate something with the people staying there. Not important to the story. But I pull up to the Airbnb. Actually, Catherine sees it first. She's like, oh, that's not good.

And she points. And two doors down from our Airbnb is a sign, like a political looking sign out in the yard saying, vote no for Airbnb's and VRBOs. And I was like, oh, what? I was, I, it like, it like, shook me bro like i'm like oh my what how to who do you know like i didn't know what to think of this and then i look and across the street to these neighbors like both of these people that

like there's this other people that across the street that also posted this sign and posted in a very peculiar place to where like the only people that are really seen this sign in their yard are people walking out of my door of my Airbnb no one else like unless you're like right angle looking this way as you're driving, you're not seeing the sign. Like they posted it in a very peculiar place just for this. And I'm like, both these people have never talked to me, have never communicated any of this with me. And all of a sudden just like went, went as far as like, I'm frustrated and like fired up

enough about this that I'm going to create and like pay to like make signs. Like they're like printed signs. Vote no. First of all, no one's voting on any. There's no, there's no public vote for this coming. There's no HOA in this neighborhood. Okay. that's good. Yeah, I looked, I was like,

am I in trouble here? But it was like, you know me, I think just like anybody, I hate being this like perceived as this bad guy. I'm like, I'm not trying. There's nothing. What? It's legal.

It's legal. I'm not dealing drugs. I'm like, yeah. It just really bothered me. It was like, man, I, there's like, there's no reason for them besides just like, what if,

like, central reasons. Like, I understand the idea of, I don't really love the idea of being next door to somebody who has an Airbnb because you don't know who's coming through. But so far, we've had literally two, two, like, rounds of people because the people that have been there have been there for 11 days. And so these people, and these people are like working construction for the World Cup, I think. I think that's what they're doing.

And so they literally are leaving at 645 in the morning and coming back at like 7.30 at night. I was like, they're not even there. Why are you so fired up about these people? and I think it's just like they're just they're they're worried about what could be I guess but I'm like why why I'm not wait to make the signs or or something I don't know I it's crazy it like it like mess with me like I like I woke up this morning thinking about it and just like how do I how do I best address the situation with these people because like I said I can understand maybe where they're getting getting these feelings but also like what how do I what do you want me to do what

and why are you feel, I mean, like, have you seen anything? Like, do you need to talk to me about something? Because I would love to talk to you if there's some issues. But like, I have cameras out on the outside and these people are very normal. Like, anyway, I'm just, it's just kind of fired me up. It's annoying. Like you said, being pre fearful of something that hasn't happened yet. Because remember in Kid City, I live next door to an Airbnb.

Yes. For all three years. And I'm realizing now it never once crossed my mind to like, I don't know. I had no issue with it. I don't even know what I could possibly be annoyed by at it. I don't know. They don't live in my house. They live in their house. It's not even the same. It's not my property. Who cares? I think there's like a little bit of like this. I think you've heard horror stories of people that are like, oh, Airbnb and they have a massive rager of a party and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, I think more often than not it's people coming into town for random like softball tournaments and, you know, work trips and, you know, stuff like this. like I don't think I think yeah every once in a while you hear these bad stories of these people doing these crazy things but I think for the most part it's like very normal very normal people like

doing like just very quietly going into these houses they just want a place to stay like that rather than a hotel and and so it just fires me up that they were just like vote no for these things I'm like what so you you know whatever anyway I just so there's no HOA vote is there an election in November that's like at the county level or at the city level AirB I know of. I mean, I chat GPTed it last night a little bit. And they were like,

there were some, you know, arguments back and forth within Overland Park, like people are trying to ban them because they have banned them in other cities in Kansas City. Yeah. Yeah, basically concluded like there's nothing wrong with like the amount of complaints that we get from the city are very, very like the short term rental market is very low on that totem pole as far as like household complaints.

It's not worth. you know, trying to ban these things. And so anyway, man, I'm just like, oh my gosh. I got to deal with these people now, you know, anyway. So I'm just trying to try to talk to them at some point. I'm not going to like super seek them out. But if I see them, I'm just going to be like, hey, I'm Brad. I live 12 minutes away.

If you have, if you see any, if you have any issues with these people, please call me and I will address it. Like, so I do not want you to feel negative about these things. So anyway, kind of wild. That's a great reveal of what the science says. because you told me like, all right, next to my Airbnb, they put up a giant political sign. And, you know, in that moment, I'm trying to think what would be so awful. Yeah.

I'm saying, you know what Airbnb is is perfect. And it's like, it's like so directed towards me. And also, it also like bothered me because it's like, clearly people are talking behind my back about me. That's what I'm like, yeah. Like, I've never met these people. I don't like, they just are assuming these negative things. And I'm like, or at least that's what I assume that they're assuming, whatever. So it was just like, oh, man, come on.

I'm a nice guy. I'm a normal guy. I'm just trying to make money for my family here, all right? So anyway. That is too bad. Have other political signs start popping up in Kansas City? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I mean, because there's a governor race. Gubernatorial. Is that what they call it? Gubernatorial race. Once every 250 years in America, they do it. Yep, the quad-boretorial. That's this summer. And yeah, yeah, there's some of those.

And there's like the stuff about judges or something like that popping up. So, yeah, big time. Big time coming. Is that how every intersection down here is crazy, flooded with signs. But the people, like the politicians here, have the best names. Okay. Can I read some of them to you? And maybe you give me just like a slogan or something that comes to mind.

I don't know what they're running for. All right. First one, let's go. Miley Biggs. M.Y L-I-E. Hey, it's me, Miley Biggs. And I'm going to take a Biggs bite out of crime. Miley Biggs for U.S. Sheriff Deputy Chief Commissioner.

Yep. Small but Miley. Because my last name is Biggs. There you go. Gina Swaboda. Listen, it's like me. It's like Gina Sabota. Okay.

I'm from New York, but I've lived here now. I've lived here for 12 years. And this is all part of my slogan right here. Gino Sabota, forget Sabotas. Sabota. So you want some bodas? No. We want, come on, come on down to the election office because we need some bodas.

There it is. Gina's Bobotis. This one is Rachel's favorite. Chuck Bon Giovanni. Hey! Hey, he's me, Chuck. What's his name? Chuck Bonjiiovanni.

Hey, he's me, Chuck Bongiovanni. After having incredible success on the used car dealership market in, in, where are you living in? Gilbert. Gilbert, I decided to take my talents out of the Subaru lot and into the governor's office. Vote for me. Chuck Bonson's off varsity. for all your voting needs.

I like that was good. I like Chuck's signs. He'll say stuff like trust that's longer than my last name or something like that. He'll kind of like make fun of himself or he has nice signs.

I like him. Probably my favorite is first name bus. Bus Obayomi is his name. Bus Obayomi. I think he's African. That's all that's all that's Zoom

I just thought of it. You never see his first name. You just see his last name. His last name is lamb. And he's got like a, like a park ranger hat on lamb and it just says uh the slogan is you tell them i'm coming which i guess it's like congress or capital hill or something you tell them i'm coming lamb coming hey it's me lambs are known for being like super hardcore like yeah they're going to

I don't even know who that is. Right Lord of the Rings. No, dude. World champion New York Knicks player. Come on, dude. What's his name? You're, you're, you might be gay you might be a little bit i bet i could read you the 18th best pickleball player and i bet you

would know exactly who it is dude i i wish you were here i this exact conversation happened last night with football kyle not knowing anything and i told him does ashley know you're gay like this exact same thing happened we made the exact same joke that's so per i mean 12 hours ago who did he not know he he would dude you're gonna love this he goes um yeah i saw messy took a picture with the the KC quarterback. No way. He said, I go K.

Quarterback? How long have you been gay? Seriously. All right. Do you know, these are the best? Let's see. Top 20 mince.

Wow, that was perfect. You said that. Unbelievable. All right. I'm just going to go, have you ever heard of somebody? Let's see if you know their last name. First name is Jaume,

J-A-U-M-E. Oh, yeah. Martinez, Vic. 15th best pickaball player in the world. How about Augie?

Oh, yeah. I talked to him yesterday. He was here at the house yesterday. How about Deccle? Deccal Bar. He's Israeli. And yet you don't know like the highest paid player on the Knicks team.

He's the highest paid player? What's his name? I wonder if Jalen Brunson's more high paid now. O.G. and an Obie. Gosh. I know Josh Hart. I know Jailibutson. I know.

the one like closeted gay guy what's his name? Oh, Carl Anthony Towns. I know him. Okay, I was wrong. He's the second. Cats more expensive now. Still, you think I've heard of him. I know, man. He's awesome. And you're like, I don't know who that is,

but I do know who Augie Gee is. Yeah, good guy. Talk to him yesterday. He said he's down to be on the channel. Okay, okay, very good. Anyway, um, what was I said? Oh, dude, like, isn't it kind of crazy that political signs are still the best way to, to do this thing these days? Dude, let's put a bookmark in traditional marketing, because I want to come back to this. But yes, it is crazy. It's like that's just, there's nothing like a stoplight.

Right. Yeah. It's like, I mean, I just for local elections especially, it just feels like that's the way to win. And it's crazy that that is true. like like there's got it targeted ads got to be way way more effective as like getting eyeballs on it but I guess and I guess just the more people that see your signs the more likely you are to win

like is that really is that really all it takes for some people is like well I've seen their signs a lot so they must be they must be better maybe yeah I wonder what the psychology of a local election is because at a certain point people are just voting with their party right yeah what's going to swing you over to the other side is it a sign at the internet

section? I don't know. Or even like what's it going to swing you from one person to the other? I do think at some point you're like at least if I don't know any different, I'm going to vote for the person I've heard of and I've heard this person. Or but sometimes the opposite where it's like they're guilty by association in my neighbor's yard where it's like, oh, they're on there. I'm not voting for them because they're also voting for these people. Or like even like, wow, I can't go anywhere without saying Ralph Heep. I'm so annoyed at Ralph Heap. I'm not voting for him. Fair. Oh, yeah, too much, Ralph Heep. He's, yeah, he's just buying the vote. Yeah.

Yeah. Kind of like we were talking to political terms the other day. We were playing basketball. And it was like three on three. There's only six of us there. And it was me, Sam Severs, and Glide on a team. And Glide is by far the best one out of all of us. You know, I'm not afraid to admit that.

And so Sam made some, like, we were winning like 10 to 6. And Sam's like, I think Glide scored all of our points. And I was like, hey, I've scored two of them. And I think we're running. a system for Glyde. Like we could, we could run any of us and, you know, that would be the person scoring all the points, but we're just letting Glyde, you know, we're running Glyde this term and we'll run you the next term, Sam kind of thing. Yeah. I kept being like, hey, let's, we'll run Sievers next time. Let's let Glyde have his share here, run his, get his term out of the way and then we'll get you

next time. That's why we brought Glyde in to run this system. Sorry, that's just how it is. Yes, he's kind of like, like, J.D. Vance will eventually, but we're got to run Trump first kind of like we got, we got Trump in Glyde right now. So the way these things go. Yeah, so, um, anyway. Hey, Bo. What do you see in there? Put it back on. Okay.

Right, right, Bo. Yeah. All right. Have you been playing as a lot of pickleball still now that your

family's back? Oh, bro. No, but I did play the other day and I do have a story about it. So we found this kind of honeyhole in Edwardsville, Kansas, small little town in Kansas, like out in the middle, not middle of nowhere, but like farther out from most of the suburbs in Kansas City. And they have two courts out there that you can just like turn on and off the lights. So like technically you can play as late as you want. Anyway, right by where Sam lives. And so he's the one that found it. And so we went out there and played and every time we go, I say to somebody like, man, we should have a Bluetooth speaker. We should have Bluetooth speaker.

So this past time, it was me, Sam, Glyde, and this guy, Kyle, it's another pastor at our church. And Kyle brought his Bluetooth speaker. And so he was in charge of the music. And Kyle's wife is a, it's either middle school or high school basketball coach for like this private high school and like private Christian high school in Kansas City. it might even technically be like half home school half private school kind of place called Christ prep anyway she's the coach there and so uh we're listening to this music and i like Kyle and i know Kyle well enough to give him a hard time but not you know Kyle actually you know Kyle well he went to SB with you um like oh Wiltshire yeah yeah um like I like I like can't tell

if he's like truly offended or if he's like he just like acts offended when I like make fun of him about certain things I was like I don't want to want to give them too much for a hard time about some of these songs. So I was just like, hey, what's what playlists are we listening to? He's like, oh, it's the Christ Prep Middle School Girls, high school pump up playlist, you know, and it's like, and he's goofy about it. He knows that some of the songs are funny.

We got, you know, shoot the shot, blit, blit, plit, coming in hot, you know, and then goes right into, you know, some other, like, song that's secular but clean, like a can't stop by red hot chili peppers or whatever, all these different things. And then we'll talk, we'll call it about an hour. 15 minutes in, a song comes on. And first of all, let me just say that normally when we play these games, I am at least winning half the time.

Like, I'm winning most of the time. Like, I'm one of the better players that usually have been playing at these times. And for whatever reason, I'm not going to blame it completely on Kyle, because that would not be fair to him. But Kyle and I had not won a single game against Glyde and Sam. And it was kind of killing me, but I was trying to be patient. trying to be nice trying to be whatever

Kyle complained about his arm hurting and so you know we switched up so it's me and Sam versus glide in Kyle and so we're playing a little bit and Sam and I are losing and then this song comes on and I made the mistake of telling Kyle

I was like I hate this song I hate this song the song is so bad do you remember Jake the song I think we might have I bet we've talked about it you know 300 episodes ago on the podcast, a song that Zach Warehand,

who's running for office in Kansas, vote for Zach if you're a Wichita guy. Zach Warehand claims to love this song. Do you kind of remember this? What would that be? I know I'm not going to like it. It was like, back in the day,

he's like, hey, has anybody ever heard this song? And he played it for us. And we were like, this is the worst song we've ever heard. I don't remember it. What was it? It's a song from the newest

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie called Shell Shock. like juicy jay whiz califa like all these like you know rappers in it but then it has like it's almost like a j z lincoln park kind of collab where like it's like a rock like chorus to it and it goes knock knock you're about to get shell shot and i was like i hate this this song is so bad and so we we proceed to lose the game while listening to shell shock i mean just like terribly bad like awful sam's actually playing pretty well well i'll give him credit and i'm just playing awful and it is it is almost directly correlated to how much i hate this like how rattled i am by this terrible song i forgot about shell shocked kyle you know has the has apple watch and so just proceeds to get on his apple watch and just set it on repeat and i'm shocked 12 times in a row no way and every single time there was there was at one point we went and like got on the bluetooth speaker and like changed it ourselves and we were we were

were getting a little bit better. We were listening to Lenny Kravitz. I want to get away. And we were doing better. You know, we're coming back. It's, you know, 9 to 7. We're doing all right. And then I kind of looked at Kyle. He's like, hey, you need to do the thing.

He like presses it back a few times on his watch. And Shell Shock just comes back on. And it, like, it was not truly, it was frustrating, but it was so funny. Like, genuinely, this is a lot, the closest I've been in maybe in my entire life to like pooping my pants out of laughter because I was like laughing so hard and like trying not to laugh and like constraining it in while I'm trying to play pickleball and I I had never felt like that kind of sensation before where I was like oh my bowels are a little

bit loose while I'm laughing at this right now what a what a blessing it is to have to hold in your poop because you're laughing so much while getting absolutely smoked in pickleball I did not in the entire night I lost every single game truly every single game I did not You got shell shocked. Yes. Oh, and of course they brought it up, you know, for three days afterwards. They send all these things. They, Kyle was at the park the other day with his kids and see some turtles and sends those, you know, like all this stuff.

They're just knock, knocking. I mean, but have you ever seen the, or heard the John Mullaney bit where he talks about, is it Neil? No. Oh. Young. Yeah. The jukebox. Yeah.

What's the guy's name? That, that, not unusual. not unusual to be love Tom Jones where they play Tom Jones seven times in a row but I think after like four times they play something else

and then they come back to what's the best way to do it they play what's new pussy cat a bunch of times it was it was always like that there was always like that pregnant pause of like the song's over and the song hasn't restarted yet

and maybe it's gonna be something else and you see Kyle just like pressing his watch a few times so that it drops again like this do do do do do do do do do and for whatever reason get your knockers up truly and kyle kyle and glider just talking on this thing so anyway it was just uh it was it was a hilarious thing and so that's that's the last time i played pickle ball and i was genuinely rattled and i think they know that and they're

going they're not going to stop until i somehow overcome my demons with this song dude to the best yeah it's it's yeah truly truly truly just a ridiculously bad song that honestly has been in my head for at least five days now. Like it's just just right there. So anyway. Knock, knock, you're about to get shell shot. That's so funny.

Zach did love that song and we immediately did not. That was a long time ago too. I was 10 years ago. Kids are home and Henry is walking outside. It just rained here today. He's walking outside. I think to Cub Ceevi in only his socks. So that's fun.

Hi, buddy. He's coming. I see him. of anyway, he'll be here at about, you know, two minutes probably. They like that they can see me from the, from the house now. So, um, yeah, like the new studio today. Yeah, yeah, today. I think it might, might last for a little while here.

The Wi-Fi seems great here. This seems like a great spot. Really? Okay. Yeah. Good. Yeah, it's not too far from the old router. So, hi, buddy.

Come here. You want to see Mr. Jake? Hey. He says hi. You say hi. You can't hear me, but. Hey, Henry. Can you wave?

Who is that? Yeah. Where's he live? Where's Mr. Jake's house? Oh, right there. Yeah, he's right there in his house. Did you go to church? Right here.

Yeah. What'd you do at church? Mom? Yeah. You play with Mom? Yeah. Did you go out on the playground? No.

No, because it was raining. Yeah. Yeah. You want to tell Mr. Jake what you ate for breakfast? Yeah. Tell them. Idea. A tortilla.

Tortilla. What else? Water. Water. Yeah. Big day. Dad was in charge of breakfast. So.

Do you remember? Two. Where? Two. Two, you're two. Yeah, you're two years old. Where do we go swimming? Mommy, Daddy.

Okay, Mr. Jake, will you come to the pool? Yeah. Okay, Mr. Jake, will you come to the pool sometime with us? He says yes. That'd be fun, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah. All right.

I want to hear a story from Mr. Jake, you want to, you want to pretend like we can hear this together because you can't hear it? Okay. Do you have any stories, Mr. Jake? You said something about, oh, yeah, the best kind of marketing. Yeah. Which remind me, another fun piece of last night's dinner. So it was me, Rachel, Kyle Ashley, and then Nathan Coley, E. coli, and Isaac.

So all six of us, the crew, you know, more or less. And we're at this pretty nice. restaurant we've already made some like kind of observations and comments like you have to look a certain way to be a hostess or a waitress here not in like a hooters or twin peaks way but just like a wow like they i don't know it are we close to arizona state kind of like one of those like this is impressive where do they find girls like this um and so it's already a little bit of a topic conversation and then you know we get our waitress we finally sit down and we're kind of throwing out some like little things that hey isaac you know what about her or whatever um and then we kind of

continue to just like make it more of a thing i mean you would have loved this just like uh i think she she's refilling isaac's dr pepper and isaac makes some joke and you know Kyle's like oh isa Isaac you're so funny and i'm like yeah like always like like you consistently are yeah gosh he just he's hilarious yeah every day hanging out with him but he's as servant-hearted as he is funny. And we're not laying that on too thick, honestly, but we are like, you know, maybe trying to give them a little extra attention. Okay. And so at the end of the night, you know, Kyle's like, is it crazy? Kyle's like, hey, Ashley and I want to treat you guys. Thanks for movie to Phoenix. Dinner's on us. He's like, also, should I, Isaac, should I write down your phone number on

this receipt? And we're like, I mean, a receipt is the best way to leave it. I've even, I've never done it. But now I'm realizing, even if, even if you're, you're going to get rejected, you get rejected behind closed doors. Correct. There is no risk in leaving the number on the receipt. And if she doesn't text you or call you, it's because she didn't see it. Right? There's a decent chance you could just be like, oh, she didn't see that, you know?

Yeah. And so, Isaac's like, yeah, I mean, I don't mind. Go for it. What are you going to write down? Isaac's pretty illegible handwriting. Yeah, no. So we kept it in Kyle's handwriting. I was trying to feed him different things.

I think at one point I said roses are red, by that's her blue. all out of jokes, but I'm not all out of you. That got close. We like almost went with that. We almost went with a couple other clever things. And then Kyle was like, you know what? Guys, I think there's a lot of power in very simple, very traditional, straightforward marketing here. You know, buy now, on sale, buy it. You know, he goes, single my whole line. The point. Alone, alone, need. Yeah. Yeah. Desperate and alone. Yeah. Desperate and alone.

Just moved here. You need you. Help. Okay. Yeah. So what'd you go? He ended up writing, I'm Dr. Pepper guy.

This is my phone number. Okay. Like there's no way that could be lost in translation. We all, we had five waters. One guy got a Dr. Pepper. And yeah,

hey, this is this Dr. Pepper guy. Text me. I would like. Cave man a little bit. You want to go? Where are you going?

Mommy. Okay. See you. I love you. And so we kind of leave that. And we all go our separate ways and get home. It's only been 10 minutes. I see a text from Isaac.

It's a screenshot from an unknown number. It says, hey, Dr. Pepper guy. Wow. Okay. Turns out 17. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, yeah, then we really get going and just like thinking like, she was that young, right?

Was Coli? No, Coli was one that we kept getting whatever Isaac got, right? Coley would always get whatever Scott would order. Scott, that's what I meant. Yeah, Coley's like, dang, I should have followed Isaac's lead instead of Scott. It could have been Dr. Pepper guy too. Dang. It's so easy been me.

Yeah, you're right. What I ordered water? I knew Kyle was going to pay. We were planning on doing another like grill out, whatever, hanging out this Friday night. And so we're like, dude, Isaac, that's a great, like, you should invite her to that. And then we're joking, like, what if she says, like, I have home. Then you got to figure out like how advanced is the homework. Yeah.

Like AP like summer, like summer reading for yeah, high school or oh, thank you, bud. Thank you. Brought me a cup. So we don't know anything. I texted, you know, I think we all want updates. Yeah. We don't, we have no updates. Okay.

We've tried to find her online. She's got a funny name. Her name's Bobby Buckley. No. We don't know how to spell it. So hopefully more to come. But yeah, just the benefits of just straightforward marketing. Just no frills.

No guesswork. All right. Last but not least, Jake, let's talk about good ranchers. Good ranchers. Does Bo know what that is? Bo, do you know what good ranchers is? No. Yes, you do?

Uh-oh. It's good ranchers. It's kind of meat we like, yep. How to meat we like. That's right. And did we have, let's see, we had chicken pot pie last night. Bo didn't really like chicken pot pie. So we're not going to get his testimonials on that.

But usually he really like Good Ranchers meat. And we just had somebody over. We had our friend Brittany over the other night. And we had this like chicken roast kind of thing. Honestly, not a big fan of roast myself. But whatever this was, unbelievable. Because it was Good Rancher's meat. meat. It was good ranchers chicken guys in there.

It really was. It's just like you just can't go wrong with good ranchers.com. You can use our promo code GRKC to subscribe, get a discount, and it'll have frozen meat delivered right to your door.

I'm pretty sure that the founding fathers weren't putting GMOs in their meat.

True or false? True. Yeah. If I said that right. Yeah, true. Good Ranchers.com, promo code GRC. They're the best. Go there now.

Bo, say something nice about Good Ranchers. Whoa, dude. Come on. Bo, seriously. Talk to your mom about that. Yeah. Just be kind. Go ahead.

Say something like, oh, don't talk to your mom like that. What did you say? I said mom's chicken in the roast. It's not what he said the first time, but go to register.com. What if you did have a name, like, what name would you consider, like, changing it if this was your name in 2026? Do you know what I mean? Like a politician name. Like not truly this, but like everyone that thinks of Elsa now is going to think of Frozen.

Like I wouldn't change my name because of that. But like I don't, I'd really have to think twice about naming my child that now. You know what I mean? Like, like, we knew a kid in a K-Life named Michael Scott. Like Daniel Scott's brother's name Michael. And like, that's not enough to change it. But like, is there, yeah, it's probably political. It's like if your last name is Trump, you might be like, I can't stay.

I can't have this name. you know, I don't know, written house. You're saying like, how bad would your name have to be where you would change it before going into politics? Right. Like, yeah, or just like, may not even know, no, no, not before going into politics, but just like, just living your life. Like, what if, what if this girl's name was Bobby Buckley? Like, it's not the same Bobby Buckley, but she's never going to have any sort of like, like, like escape from that if she's living in Arizona and name Bobby Buckley. And Bobby Buckley is the name of the governor or whatever.

ever, I don't know. Yeah, I think if my name was like Thanos, I'd be like, dang, that's unlucky. They just made a movie about that. Tony Stark. Like, would you, would you be okay with your name being Tony Stark? Because every time you ever introduce yourself, people would say, like, talk about Ireland. Did you change it to Tony Stark? No, I had it.

Like Tony Stark, yeah. What if your last name was Frank and your first name was Adolf? It's like, you went both ways on this. Sorry. I don't know. There's just, there's just, there's just got to be some names out there. They're like, ah, what's, what's the guy, making a murderer's guy's name? He's got kind of a normal name, right?

I can think of, uh, it's Brendan Dassey and, uh, what's the other guy's name? The main guy, uh, Avery, Stephen Avery, Stephen Avery's not that uncommon of a name. There's some people out there named Stephen Avery. That's good point. I wonder if like, Elon is a pretty popular name in South Africa. And now it's like, and now it has a different reputage. For sure.

Yeah. could be i don't know anyway i just yeah she's got kind of an odd name because if you have an odd name i feel like it's easier to find online yeah well we honestly we don't know if we really heard it correctly so we don't actually know what letter it starts with and we don't it's just like who knows how you spell that we're asking chat jviti what are the spellings of this name we're going to the restaurant we're saying who the restaurant follows on instagram we're coming up empty we got to go backward you got to see who's following the restaurant oh yeah we yeah we tried everything. Did she have a name on the receipt? Sure that you looked and saw that. I didn't think of that.

Was she the waitress or the hostess? She was the waitress. Oh yeah. She'd be on that receipt. We thought about calling the restaurant and saying like, hey, we left our wallet and we think so-and-so has it. How do you spell her name? We're trying to Facebook message her? Oh, man. Anyways, that's exciting for for Isaac. Okay. Yeah, already Arizona's being good to Isaac. I remember when I was trying to get, like when me and Kyle, we're trying to convince Isaac and Scott to move down here. We legitimately said this and believed it, but we were like,

the best parts of living in Phoenix, we don't even know yet. Like I can tell you some things that will happen and we'll get better, but we really don't know what could happen until we get here. Yeah. Boom. This is what I'm talking about. Ingo. Hango.

Number is on the receipt. Yeah. They don't make them like that in Kansas. Are you married, bro. okay. Rachel's words, not mine. Dude,

yeah. That's not corn fed, she says. That's funny. Cactus fed. Hmm. I love it, man.

So, yeah, it's great. We got a lot of, I got stuff on the way, a lot of good politicians, and Isaac's, uh,

got a girlfriend. Okay. Big time. Yep. That's great, man. And, and Augie's a good guy.

But what's the guy? name? Do you remember the next guy now? Oh, Bomiomi. Yep. Obiomiomi. Obi, Yama, Yamamoto. Obi, one, Konobi. Oji, Anna, Nobi. Oji, he's an OG.

Yeah, OG. Last name? Ananobe. Anna. Anna nobi. Anna, without a bee. Anna no B. Not banana.

Anna. No B. And it'll be. Nice. Ninovi. O'i and a novi. Got it. Do you ever tell people how to remember your name? I've started doing the Brad Pitt thing.

Have I told you that? I love it. I did it today at a coffee shop. I was like, because this guy's like, what's your name again? I was like Brad. You can remember it's because like Brad Pitt.

We look just like each other. And as we were leaving, I was like, hey, good to see Isaac. He goes, you too. Chad. I was like, Brad. Good try, man. I was thinking Chad Pitt.

Dang, dude. Jeff. Oh, come on. I just thought something speaking of names. Remember when I played in that Indian pickleball league when I was in Dallas for a few days? I told you his name was... Yeah.

I told you his name was Rapish. Turns out he gave me a shirt. His name's on a shirt. It was Rupshi. I was close. You're dyslexic. Yeah. But it is a great way for people to remember you.

Hey, I just met you. Here's a shirt with my name on it. My name's Rupshi. Rupshi Premier League. Yeah, I guess he named the league after himself. All right. kind of a power move, I guess. Yeah, it's the rupture you way.

You got any Jake pickleball leagues lining up in Phoenix yet? Not even a little bit. You'll get there, baby. How much are you playing, like, in the backyard versus out in the wild? It's either backyard early in the morning or Kyle already has something set up, so Isaac and I will go play indoors somewhere. But it's great. I mean, just like I live on a pickleball court.

it's right out our door. It's awesome. I'm playing so much big of all. It's great. Crazy. You know about Augie. Augie's coming. Augie's playing with you.

Great news. The federal EV rebate is back. Eligible customers get up to $5,000 with the federal EVAP rebate on select 2027 Volt and 26 Equinox EV models. Visit your local Chevrolet dealer today for more details. Crazy. Hopefully.

Oh, my gosh. I can't believe he didn't. know Patrick Mahomes his name. Yeah. Like that's a quarterback. Orange flag for me, Kyle. You got to know, you got to know, you got to know, you got to know quarterbacks in general, I think.

I think you got to know at least 24 of the 32 quarterbacks that start in the NFL, right? Isaac and I are dead set. No, no, Tyler Shuck. Like, that's fine. Like, you might know him after this year, but like, come on, dude. You got to know Matthew Stafford. You got to know Kyler Murray. He knows a shocking little.

Kyler is in Minnesota now. Fun. Him and JJ McCarthy. Fighting over our starting spot. Don't you think that like, at least for me, Kyler is one of those guys that's like, I'm always going to believe in Kyler.

Like, I always think there's a chance with him. He's kind of got that Michael Vic in him where you're like, yeah. What? Maybe. I think it's just mobile quarterbacks in general. Like I felt the same way about Justin Fields. Like maybe Justin Fields turns it on for a stretch,

you know, just because even if he can't throw, it, he'll just run around and make something crazy happen. So that could be fun in Minnesota. So who's in Arizona? Josh Dobbs. Dude, who's the quarterback here? Oh, yeah, you're in Arizona.

Wow, dude. They draft somebody? Maybe. I have no earthly clue. I guess we don't know all the quarterbacks. Arizona Cardinals, right? Just kidding. Arizona Cardinals quarterback.

Ooh. Oh, this is a sad. This is a sad, sad statement. Arizona Cardinals quarterback position is an ongoing competition between veteran Jacoby Preset, newly acquired Gardner Minchu, and rookie Carson Beck. Okay, Carson Beck might be like that. Not a great QB room. Not a great QB room.

Maybe Carson Beck will do it. We kind of bashed on Justin Herbert right before he became very good. So maybe that's, maybe we're just doing the same thing with Carson Beck. Yeah, and Herbert was mainly because of his name. Yeah, we were like, come on. Some guy named Herbert is going to beat us. Yeah, you're 6'6 and a professional athlete. Your name is Herbert.

Yeah, change your name. Yeah, right? Change it. Anyway, when I end this with a review or a jingle or whatever? Yeah, I do. I don't know if we had any new reviews. Let me see you real quick.

Jake hitting calculator every time he tries to go to clock is the most relatable thing he's ever said. Perfect. It's the most upvoted comment on last week's episode. After some thought, I realize I hit calculator every time I mean to go to calendar. Clock is on my home screen, but still so relatable. It's tough to hit the right one. funny. Thank you, Gina. Gina's Hobota. I'm in, that's my, that's my review of the week as well. I can't find any. I should have,

I should have become more prepared. Just reviews of the week are just always people being nice. Somebody, somebody recently, here's my review of the week. Let me find it. Uh, somebody sent me a really long message, like a text the other day. I'm not going to read it all. I'm just going to shout you out if I can find you on here. Your name. Joseph, Joseph Vrably, Mike Vrably's son. Kyle probably knows. He's sent me a long text saying really kind things, saying how he's really inspired by woodworking stuff,

as well as kind of hearing the journey of you and your stuff. Anyway, ask me a lot of questions about woodworking because he wants to get into it. And I was like, love to help you, man. So anyway, shout out Joseph. Shout out Joe, Joe Vrable. Big JV, not JV in my book. book. You'll always be a hall of fame in my book.
