Good morning, Ghosties. Catherine's our special guest. Just kidding. It's time it again. Classic prank. Yep. We hadn't pressed record on it. Yeah.

Boom. Yep. Like a little squeak. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yesterday, I, you know, take myself on a little date to first watch by myself. And from the second, I mean, before I even was seated, I get seated next to like two women.

and I can like kind of feel this woman's eyes on me. Like as I'm just walking to my seat and then I, you know, we're so close to each other that I don't want to look at her to confirm it. But I'm like, man, I think she's like looking at me like a lot this entire time I'm eating. I can just like feel it. But never says anything for 20 minutes. And then eventually when they finally leave,

she gets up, walks away and I'm like, huh, all right. Maybe I was just seeing things. And then she turns around. She goes, I got to say something. You look so familiar. and because she had looked at me so long for so hard, I was like, oh, yeah, she's got it. I don't know why I just went fully into it. I wasn't like super humble about it maybe, but I was like, I make a lot of videos on the

internet. I was just like truthful. I was like, that's probably where you recognize me. I make a lot of videos in the internet. And then I know we've all had this happen before, but it's just another incident. She goes, no, it's not the internet. I was like, no, it is. Like, I just moved here like it is.

And she goes, I think you got a doppelganger out there. And then I'm like trying to like prove that my career is worthwhile. I'm like, some of these videos, I mean, they really get a lot of views. Like I really think it could be the internet. Nah, you just got one of those faces. You just look like you. We did a video on doppelgangers one time. No, I'm telling you it's, I'm successful.

No, no, I'm Amish. I don't think I don't have seen you anywhere. Well, never have a phone. Yeah. I'm just running through everything I've ever done. Were you watching Ellen? in 2018 at all. Bragging.

Brush's got talent. You've seen that. You've seen that. So did she ever get there? No, she left thinking I have a doppelganger. And I was like, dang, good job. I guess she beat me in the argument. She held her ground.

Yeah. Yeah. She's... Stared to me for 20 minutes. It's like, man, you just look like somebody who I haven't been able to think of this whole time. Yeah, I lost the battle, but I tried. Uh-oh, ooh, I think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts

in white meat 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 from the podcast. Everybody's morning. I don't know. Maybe you just need to make more videos.

You ever think of that? It's a quantity thing. Uh-huh. Yeah. A lot of people say, you know, I do the YouTube voiceovers. They go, we want to see you know. This is what I'm missing. out on the women at first watch.

Come on. I got to get known as first watch. Yeah. Did you get recognized in Ohio, timing? I, one time, we were filming at a church. It was the same church I actually broke my wrist at, of the swing set of. God's got my wrist. I was trying to stay away from that area of the grounds.

But I'm forgetting, I might have tried to write down this guy's name because I really don't want to forget and I already have. All right. I'm not seeing it, but I met a very nice. gentleman who listened to the podcast and that was super fun met him in the parking lot while filming. That was actually, he came during a very interesting time of filming because it was like the one span of however many days where like our typical director and cinematographer, like people had left and they were like new people and it was all a bit of just a very chaotic week.

And so he would never have known. I think I was, I was, I was not to find. time time. But like, because I wasn't in charge, but it definitely affected some things. And it was like, so yeah, he wouldn't have even known it. But we were in a very unique time of the filming process. That's crazy. Talking about these headphones you guys are you using? I don't know why I didn't notice this is a Monday episode. Are these new headphones? Uh, yeah, table setters, uh, podcast. Yeah, they're the ones I bought for that. So I don't know. I take no responsibility. The red cord? Yeah. I'm just not noticing all these things. Yeah, it's a new era. You know, we're trying to do stuff here.

Actually, they're definitely not as good as the ones that we have. So I don't know. They're comfortable, but I don't know if their sound quality is quite the same. Yeah, I don't know. No complaints. Which way do you scooge past somebody in a, in a, like, let's think you're at first watch. Yeah, you give them your front. You give them your back.

Yeah, genuinely, I want to know. I had a, I had a predicament the other day. I was like, these are pretty close tables and these people are sitting right there. two of them I think most of the time I do give them my front because I'm not thinking about it but in an airplane

like sometimes people just like hey I'm in the aisle or I'm in the window seat they just like scrunch up their knees and they just kind of tell you to come on past that I will be like I'm not going to give them my front

I'll give them my back it feels more polite normally I would like to a table or to a person just like in the hallway yeah I'd give them my front okay

I chose I chose back I chose back and I thought that was that was more that was less like if they if they are bothered I won't see it at least you know yeah I was at a coffee shop in Dallas doing some work uh it's past week and yeah tight tables these people were sitting right next to me and I thought then you go the bathroom need to get up just scooched hmm yeah I don't know in the front you first thought you meant like if you're walking past somebody like and you're walking you're like, you're going to like have to dodge them, which way do you go?

And I was going to say, like, for that, I definitely add to the general problem of this because I like don't have a one that I always pick and I like freak out in the moment and I don't, it doesn't work great. But I actually don't know which way I would scoot past somebody. I think I would be more inclined to give them my back. And I'm, I'm talking scooch, not scoot. Like I need, scooting is different. Like you scoop past somebody I feel like your feet are forward. Like, scoge your parallel, like, you're, your sideways scooching, right? I think scooting is kind of shuffle on past real quick.

The shoulders stay forward still. Who's going first? I'm going to scoot past you real quick and then you go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. A scoot is a quick lateral move. Yeah. But the shoulders stay forward.

I need, I need to scooch. I need to scooch past you. Yeah. 90 degree turn. Hmm. You scooch. You scooch at like, yeah, an airplane is a, is a, is a, is a, a solid scoge spot.

Maybe a night at the theater. You had seats in the middle of the row. I'm sorry, I need a scooch pass real quick. Oh, yeah, like a stadium or any kind of ballgame or whatever. Okay. I know I was trying to help with time. Oh, yeah. Just ballgame.

Yeah, sorry. You're at a musical, the opera. No. You saw a phantom of the opera on Broadway. Andrew Lloyd Webber. Yeah, definitely back. Yeah? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I think I naturally go front. Do you really? Yeah, I do. Staring down the barrel. Like, hey, here we are. Oh, yeah, you're not going to, yeah. Yeah, I guess I do. Especially like if your next move is to sit down.

You got to go back. Yeah, you're right. I'm doing extra movements. Yeah, because then you've got to get your spot and do a 180. I'm really trying to think through why I do this. this way. You know, I guess I learned it. It was learned behavior. My parents are fronters and

they taught me to be a fronter and... From a long line of front scutures. It's hard to unlearn. Something about it. Yeah. I don't know if we need to break this down anymore. This does have me thinking. Yeah, let us know how you're scooching. Just be mindful of your scooch.

I think there's something about like if it's stadium seating and they're like, hey, there's like some space beneath me. I want to see like the space more. Like I don't want to turn my back on like falling down. See it's or no, I am turning my back.

It's always a minimal amount of space for me. And so I turn my back and I, I just press up against the seat in front of me as I'm scooching. Does that make sense? I am, I am one with the row in front of me seat. I'm going to try this on the, on the airplane to Iowa.

I'm going to try some things out. Yeah, because if you're limited on space, much more ideal for your backside to brush somebody than the front side. Just, yes, I would say, yes. And say, what if I just put it in reverse? What if I just fully just, instead of 90 degrees left, 90 degrees right, I go 180 degrees and I just back it up like this. Yeah, you just kind of burrow your way through? Yeah, but burrow. Yeah, I go backwards, like butt to window.

Are you a Are you a get out and go to the aisle kind of guy? Are you a, you know, just pull your legs up And just try to let him get past kind of guy Dude, I sit in like the non-window seat so infrequently I don't know, I would probably get up though Yeah What about at church?

Probably just stand Just stand Just a nice stand Yeah I don't know, I just yeah I go back and question Yeah if there's like more than one person maybe I get up get out yeah I don't know girls I feel like

girls are really good at the move the legs over to the side trick yeah I try that sometimes and people just trip over my 12 and a half you're not out of the way dude yeah yeah I think on a plane if I was like middle seat I might I might do the leg scrunch you like you have the physical ability too and I'm I think you should if I if I could I would yeah yeah if he wanted to he would. Yeah. Timon puts his legs like behind his neck. I just go for the pretzel. Whatever someone's coming through. How do you, how do you, how do you scooch past somebody? If there's like a row of people, do you go, like if you're trying to get into your seat in the middle of a, like, row, do you go back or front?

Like, do you stare at them when you're going past them? She thinks this is a dumb question. What? I stare at them. Wow. She's so skinny, she just walks forward. That's amazing. She's like, no one's ever had to move for me. Yeah.

No, no, no. You're saying like you would go. You say, I'm sorry. Yeah, that's good. I do apologize a lot. Scoot one more. You're scooching. Oh, she's going back.

She's going back. Is she practicing? Yes, she is. I can see the shadow. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And then I was so bad because you're behind.

And then you feel bad. Yeah, you're like, sorry for my massive husband. He's coming through. Make way. Maybe that's why I give him my front so I can apologize to their face. Yeah. I just got my back to them. I'm sorry.

Sorry, I'm sorry. I have something I need to apologize to certain ghosts he's about. I need to apologize to both of you about. I got hacked. Did you see this? I did see the email. Did you, Jake? I don't know if I saw the email.

but I saw something on Facebook about it. I sent you a special Evite. I got fooled. And let me say, I got fooled by a ghosty of all people. Wow. I got an email from somebody else who had got hacked. Of course, I didn't know that the time. Celia O'Brien.

Shout out Celia. Ghosty Celia. She's awesome. She's been a ghostie for a long time from New Hampshire, moved to Kansas City. Hadn't seen her in a while. And so I saw this evite from her. I'm like, awesome.

I would love for. What's this E-Vite for? What's this big event that she's got going on? She's the type to be throwing something. 100%. So I click on the E-vite and it's like, hey, in order to access this E-vite, you need to log into your Google account. I was like, okay. So I log in and it like kind of like redirected me. And it made me like do the two-factor authentication thing or whatever. And I did it. And then it like didn't really work. And so I don't know why. I was kind of in like halfway in conversation with Catherine and my mother. law while I'm doing this. And so I logged in and tried it like five different times. Like the hackers were having a heyday. You're scanning stuff you've never scanned.

You're like holding your eye over. Yeah. Yeah, I need your right retina. And yeah, your uvula. It's like, okay, sure, no problem. And so all of a sudden, like, we go, Catherine and I leave to come back to like home from Texas. I'm driving.

And I get the way I knew I was hacked. Well, first of all, I sent it to see it. I was like, hey, I can't see this Evite. What's going on? Hey. I'm so sorry I was hacked. I was like, well, I think I probably just got hacked too. I wasn't sure about it.

And then I get all these like automated replies from these companies like emails. I was like, that's not good. And then I start like some people texted me. Then I and then, you know, like a few people. Dude, shout on Samuel Carmel. Amazing ghosty. He's like, hey, Brad, really excited about whatever this Evite is, but I'm not able to pick like open it up can you tell me what's going on like samuel i don't want you to do anything with

me i'm not invited you to anything you don't deserve to hang out with me i got hacked i'm the worst and it was like first of all i was driving second of all it was like i don't even know how to go about emailing all these people yeah it's on hacking yourself and so i was just like you're on your own guys it's sorry i don't know how to do this so is this your main email yes and i'm still kind of scared that they have access or there's some malware or something in there yeah so you You don't have to get rid of it. It was just like a one-time blast. Yeah, I think because I logged in like five times, I think it was like a five-time blast,

which anything, I think helps if you get multiple emails. I don't see if I got multiple. Did you get one for me, Timmy? I got at least one. I'm trying to remember if I got more than one. I will say there, I had screenshots from my friends from different looking emails. Some of them seem really obvious. Like, one of them was like, in order to see this, Eivite the best, you need to log on

your computer and do this and that. I'm like, that's not. That's not what I saw. I saw some. Two different emails. A special invitation from Brett Ellis. But they're like different. That's the one.

That's the one I fell for is the one with the pigs and the sunglasses. The dancing pigs. They look so fun. You received me each card. I was like, that's what Celia would do. Pigs and sunglasses, that's her.

I'm now mad. You had five blasts go out. I got none of them. I got nothing from Bellis 30. Look in your spam. Because immediately when I realized it was spanned, I went to my scents, and clicked this is report spam or whatever.

I did it for every single email that went out. but wow yeah okay I feel honored it wasn't the spam did you save the date glasses or was yours maybe yours is like not you're not even showing the images don't yeah it says blue mountain yep that was it got spam by some ghosties so spam by ghosties you know and spam some ghosties so dang pretty fun that's too bad yeah anyway that happened I'm sorry I just want to say sorry Thank you for saying, sorry. Yeah. I got to do my stand-up show this past week.

It was very fun. That's right. Open for Andrew Stanley. It was like a... Did you call it a stand-up show? Because it's stand-up. Stand-up comedy, Stanlop. It was...

I was like a guest drop-in. You know, like a Dave Chappelle or a Jerry Seinfeld. You know, that was like my role. You could be there. I had no idea. Oh, yeah. That's pretty fun. So it was like this, like, local host.

This like Latina, woman in like her 50s. So that was a great contrast. I got to just like open with like, yeah, I'm the opposite of that. Don't put her purse on the ground. I did have that thought.

I was like, I'm not touching anything. Don't you dare. And anyway, it was great. I mean, so I learned the tipy improv is the second biggest comedy club

in the nation. Whoa. It held like 500 something people. I had no idea. It's got two stories to it. It was massive. And Andrew sold it out on a Wednesday night. So.

Okay. You know, the show went great. You know, I only had to perform 10 minutes. So I'm just doing the greatest hits. And it's a packed room, a hot crowd. And afterwards. So I think before, and I told Andrew's opener, who he brought with him and Andrew himself, like, some contacts of like, I don't even really do stand up anymore. You know, I do this pickleball stuff.

And so I might have lowered the bar for myself unintentionally. And so I think after the show, they were very impressed, set a lot of very complimentary things. and I felt like I was like there was 500 people in like a living room like anyone could have done that and Andrew said something funny he goes I could call here he said I know 50 people right now who would have ruined that show he's like no that's not a given he goes yeah then the other guy was like oh yeah there was a lot of people who would have ruined that entire show yeah ruined not like not done well but like actually made it like yeah not like bombed momentarily like no you would ruin the whole show So yeah, of course it felt great.

Yeah, scratched the it or did it like make you itchier? Like did it make me itch year? It's a good question. It was like so fun in the moment because yeah, it's like I'm only doing my best stuff. And even like local stuff that I'm doing is crushing. So like it was fun and like the Timpy Improv like wanted to book me for more stuff. They were like, you were great. We've never heard of you.

We want to do more. And even though I was like, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. because you've proven like I've done that I can do that I don't know how I felt I was debriefing with Rachel on the ride home and I was just like it just feels like yeah something I've like I've proven to myself that I can figure out stand-up comedy I want to build a pickle business now so yeah I'm super fun I I uh you know when you're only doing like an eight or 10 minutes set I was trying to figure out like well what's my closer and how is that a callback or is it just my best joke and I was like all right the bidet material is probably the best I'll just close with that that. I was like, on the drive there, I was thinking of ways to make it hit even harder. And so, um, I think you'll like this. So I was like, all right, I got it. And when I first get up there, I'm going to say how I just moved here. Like, if you guys had to guess knowing nothing about me,

just how my looks, like, where do you think I lived? Where do you think I moved to? And had them shout out different suburbs. And there is a suburb of Phoenix called Queen Creek. And so I waited until I heard that. Actually, I don't know if I actually heard it, but a bunch of people were shouting it once. So I acted like I heard it and I go, Queen Creek, come on. I'm straight. Okay. So I like established that joke that gets a little laugh. Yeah. So that at the end, closing joke, I say about the bidet. I did the jet setting. A little bit of water came out of my mouth. You know, huge pop. Biggest laugh of the night. And then I kind of like tag it with like, I'm man enough to admit. I did kind of enjoy it. Maybe I do need to move to Queen Creek. And now it's like, see, I'm.

out of here. Yeah, yeah. That's great. No one, you did not ruin that show. Yeah. I didn't ruin it. Yeah,

it felt really good. And Andrew was hilarious too. It was like, we would just get along so with him. He's just like, so awesome, so kind, so funny.

He was great. Yeah, everyone goes to Andrew Stanley if he's coming to your town. Very similar to like, I would say my style or Nate Bargazzi style. You know, it was very dry,

but like very funny and sheltered and clean. It was great. Cool. That's awesome. Fun. Is that, that's not the, uh, comedy club that we saw you at in Phoenix that one time, was it? I couldn't remember Phoenix, I think. Okay.

Yeah. I don't like near the, the, the, um, basketball stadium. That's the only thing I remember. Oh, okay, cool. One's play there. That's got to be Phoenix, right? That would be, yeah, downtown. Yeah.

Cool. Yeah, I had no idea if I'd been there or not. They all kind of blend together, but it's a great night. It's fun. That's awesome. That's cool. I love it. Let's talk.

We've got to get our advertising voice on. Let's talk mainstream Ruster. Check, check. Yeah, let's talk about it, baby. You want one time? I think it's going to be timing. It's going to be timing.

Let's see. You want, let's hear that advertising voice. What does it sound like? I don't know about you guys, but I want to talk about Main Street Roasted. When that first sip, hits your lips. What in the world was that sound?

It's, uh, man. Hey! I love starting the day with a little coffee from Main Street Roasters. Oh, me too. I was waiting for an effect. I just didn't know what was going to happen. Yeah, I mean, when that first sip hits the lips, it's a feeling that it's hard to describe.

Time would give me like, um, use innocence, but give me like an, adjective for like how good it feels to drink macy roasters when i drink main street roasters i am godsmacked wow okay that's what i said it i wasn't if i wasn't afraid to say what it needed to be said sometimes it seems a little bit of yeah i don't know if i'd go as far as but if I was like different colors than maybe I I thought it's exactly 10% off major rosters

that's the good news they're based in Indiana but they will ship it to you I don't know the exact carrier but they will they will it's the best coffee around Mainsterosters.com

GRKC is 10% off get it today or regret it tomorrow nice Oh, so I told you guys, yeah, on Monday, we went to Dallas for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday. We went to this, we had like this private back room at this restaurant called Hudson House. Really good place if you live in Dallas. If you don't know about it, you should know about it.

It's awesome. But they had all this stuff. And I intentionally knew I was like, this is going to be a great, you know, dinner. I'm not going to. I save room. You know what I mean? Like I was like, yeah. Yeah.

Like on the way, we like drove there on the way we like stopped for quote, quote lunch and I just had like a tequito at QT. I was like gearing up. Yeah, we're staying, we're, we're, we're staying strained. Saving the calories for later. Yeah, oh yeah. And I made a mistake. So first of all, let me just give you a little bit of backstory is that, uh, my father-in-law said, I'm going to pay for, uh, the meal, which is so awesome, so generous of him. And this place wasn't like crazy expensive, but it's not nothing. I mean, it's $25, maybe a plate, $30, whatever. Um, so like a nicer

restaurant and I don't know I didn't get very far down the menu and I saw this these ahituna sushi rolls okay I love ahituna you had that time I don't think so it's like the steak of fish like he's just like so good anyway I didn't got really into it when I was in Hawaii um but so I was like I'm getting the ahituna sushi rolls and uh they came out you know we everyone orders we got some appetizers which were evenly distributed I ate a little bit advertisers. Like, it was good. You know, but I could definitely have more of those, you know, dynamite shrimp were really good.

Or that was really good. You know, whatever. And everyone starts getting their entree. Like, my father-law gets this amazing-looking lobster roll thing. Catherine gets this French chicken. Looks really good. And they come out with my sushi roll, dude. And I don't want to exaggerate it.

It was four tiny bites of sushi. It was a, it was. And, like, I'm, I, I'm not like super well versed in sushi. I'm not trying to act like him. But every time I've ever gotten a roll, it's like usually like Catherine and I'll get two roles and share them or something like that. Yeah.

A pretty substantial amount of food. And I saw this thing. I was like, oh no, that's, that's my food. And my father-in-law, who said he was going to pay for the whole thing,

which I was already conscious of that, that week, he had to replace two different air conditioners in his house. So it was like 15 grand. I don't know how much, like a lot of money that he said. You know, not expecting to show.

out and then he's like oh by the way I said I'd pick up this test so I'm like I'm ordering you know diet Coke and my sushi roll you know I can't get ahie Ihi I he ah he ah he uh yeah I can't ah he mahi you know uh and so I was like oh so so my my whole point with that is that when you go to a nice restaurant there needs to be some sort of dude code dude like like something that says like every once in a while you go places and it bring out your food. It's like, I know that's what I ordered, but I thought I ordered three times as much of it. Like, I ordered the pork chop. That's, that's a bite of the pork chop I was expecting to have, you know? Yeah. And there's no, there's no code for that. Because if it would have said,

hey, FYI, the burgers are normal sized burgers, but the sushi is going to be four bites. It was literally four bites. That's rough. Even the average sushi roll, it's not that much food, but it's like 10 to 12 sections, usually, right? I think so. I like, once again, I'm not. I think so. Once again, I'm super professional sushi guy, but like, I know it was more than that. And I try, I was like, all right, I'm going to, I'm going to try to like, you know, ration this out a little bit. Maybe the first one I took two bites of. It was so good, dude. I ate the whole thing in two minutes. It was over. You're just kind of like looking around for the next 25 minutes. Truly. It was like, I had great conversation because I had nothing to eat. I was like,

this is great, you know. So I just think there needs to be some sort of system, some sort of code of like, FYI, like, because when you order a steak, you know how big the steak's going to be. They say whatever, however many out, four ounces. Yeah. 16 ounces or whatever. They didn't say that with my tuna. So. And maybe this is a good argument against my point recently where like, I don't need waitresses

and waiters to ask me, have you ever been here before? Yeah. But maybe they do need to do that so they could say, just FYI, our sushi sucks. It's tiny. Yeah. I know. Yeah. And it was $22.

And so I was like, I can't get two of them. That's not all that I'm those expensive person here. And you don't expect to get four bites out of $22. Like you should. If everyone else is getting a decently portioned food. I will say my brother-in-law Brooks saved the day. He's like, you know what? No one ordered a burger.

Their burgers here really good. Let's get a burger for the table. Oh, Tableburg. Yeah, he's like, can you get a, we get a burger and cut it up into four sections, which that was just a alpha move, honestly. Like, yeah. Have them cut it for you, boy. they came out and that burger that that quarter of a burger that I had was great so cool you had all four sections didn't you

that one little bit of the those couple bites were good no it was fine catherine gave me so over chick i didn't i didn't complain i really like i was like i guess it's my fault i just wish there was some kind of system that's all i want so yeah yeah yeah they should yeah they at least for the things that are incredibly small because incredibly like when it's way too much food that's fine yeah there should be something on the menu that's like this is a this is barely any food just FY yeah there needs to be like a guy feary like thumbs up like you're gonna like you're gonna like the amount of food you get here yeah that is nice I don't know speaking of food should we go into schmores yes let's do it I'm more's time in is our celebrity schmores guy this hey summer celebrities have you heard that's what we're doing time

we're doing so have you been listening i've been honestly most of the episodes yeah yeah yeah in the comments yeah that's right you had like a fan comment at one point which was really fun like you just like that a fan would say i was blending in i felt undercover yeah that's great yeah that's fun um all right so we're doing smores of artificial flavors just artificial flavors yeah somebody you'd find in like a gummy or a soda or a sports drink or something like that. Yeah. Okay. Jake, do you want to start or who's what?

Brad, you won the last one with Jensen. Up to you. Oh, unconventional. I'll start because I think there's a clear one, one, in my opinion. And then I'll let Jake go next because it was his idea and time in because he didn't like us enough to stay around. He went to Ohio. Right.

Sounds fair to me. Okay, one, one, the best artificial flavor that doesn't exist in real life, therefore is very artificial blue raspberry. The best. Whatever. What? Yeah. You don't. I think that it's so it's incredibly middle to you.

Like middle. I can't wait to see what you choose then, brother. Oh, I'm not very confident in my answers. I couldn't think of much, but I can at least say, I don't know. Just like, okay. If you think of like dumb-dums or something, blue raspberry, I feel like is mid to slightly lower. Really? Yeah.

Okay, dumb-dum. That's funny. Dumbs. Yeah, it's like your reference. For some reason, dumb-dums is like the standard. I don't know why. Oh, man. Blue raspberry, though, I think, okay, this is going to be a good schmorse.

At first I was like, everyone's just going to agree with everything. Like, but I think there's certain ones that are good for every single thing and certain ones that are like, oh, I really like the blank flavor of that thing. Like dumb dums, there's some incredible flavors, but I would not say that that flavor is universally loved. Blue raspberry, dumb, is good, but so are the pop, you know, the icies of blue raspberry and the slurpees. Like those things, all those, like blue raspberries are just all around good. Jilly Rancher, Blue Raspberry. I do think you get points for this being probably truly the most artificial because it is not even a real fruit.

So you get points for that. You know what I wrote down in my notes was I just wrote down blue. Yeah. Because just like, yeah, yeah, Blue Blast, basically. Just like the artificial flavor of blue, whatever that is. Yeah. So yeah, blue raspberry is good because I think technically that's what they're choosing to call it. This is what I thought you were going to say when you said there's a clear one-one.

I'm going to artificial grape. Oh! You hate it? Hate it. Really? That is my least favorite. And I think I'm, I think a lot of people are going to agree with you.

It is my, yeah, I think that is the one that is the most amazing, real life thing and worst artificial flavor. Like the distance between them is the bigger. Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bunch of sugar. So it's not like,

oh, gross, you're torturing me by making me eat this. But like, yeah, talk to me more about that. They are very different. And like what a grape taste like and like somehow how we got to grape soda.

Yeah. Do we sidebar oranges? Are they the closest distance? Artificial orange versus real orange? I'm going to say, to be fair, I don't, I can't really think of any of these flavors where I, I taste it and I'm like, that tastes like the real thing. I don't, I don't know. Yeah, I think, I think watermelon. I don't know. I guess green up maybe. Let's not, let's not show our cards too much here, guys. Sorry, put your cards down. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, great feels to me like, maybe was what I was introduced to first. I think it was like my first pops. was grape. And I was like, so this is the world of processed food. Not bad. I feel like it's like the most trustworthy color when it's like I like yeah. What is it? I could popcicle. I kept

want to say icicle over and over again. Popsicle. Oh, you could trust grape soda. Oh, I can trust grape. Fruit snack. Oh, I know I could trust grape. Grape soda? Yeah. I don't know. Just so just so okay, right? Yeah. Like, of course it's not. I'm not going to be like, oh, I can't drink that. But it's like, no. There's a lot of other flavors of like fruity flavor. Yeah. All right.

Go ahead, Timon. All right. We've crapped on each other's picks so we're going to do the same. Let's keep it up. I appreciate it. I think, um, I'm going to go with cherry. Yeah, cherry's good. Cherry's probably my favorite pop-tart flavor.

Oh, you're just favorite. Favorite pop-tart flavor for me is easily cinnamon, whatever the cinnamon sugar is. Easily, dude. Yeah, brown sugar. That's like one of the best things in the entire universe. A toasted brown sugar cinnamon. Those things are insane. Yeah.

Probably. Yeah, it might be top thing of the universe. I'm trying to think of other things. We should do schmores of things in the universe and you choose brown sugar cinnamon. Dude, just cinnamon in general is unreal. Cinnamon and sugar is a combination unlike any other. Which also, yeah, something like that. Is that, can that go on this list?

Like, because that's not, how much of the real thing is in there. I think there's real cinnamon in there, baby. Yeah. That's what, I was having a hard time thinking of things. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure in so many things, there's artificial sweeteners, obviously. I don't know.

Yeah. Yeah. Cherry's a hit and miss for me, though. I think some of them is just too syrup, like cough medicine. Yeah. I'm trying to think like, like cherry suckers or something. Sometimes those can get, yeah, pretty syrupy. But man.

Robitussin-y. I'm thinking like a cherry tootsie pop. I like, that's kind of what comes to mind. I really like one of those. Dude, cherry-tutzy. And you know what? Talking tootsy-pops real quick. If we're going to talk tootsy-pop, let's talk true.

Tootsy-pops fool me, man, because I love blue tutsy pops. And guess what flavor I think that is? Great. I think it's a purple. I think it's a purple. Tutsi pop, but it's in the blue wrapper. Oh, yeah. There's a blue rock.

Yeah, they think I like that. Color, I don't like purple artificial flavors. So, yeah. I think Tutsi Pops are kind of like element where it's like, okay, you can put them in different colors. You can label them different flavors. It's kind of just the flavor of Tutsi Pop or the flavor of element. That's how I feel about it.

It's like, oh, watermelon, citrus, orange. I don't know. It's just salt and sugar is mainly all I taste. That's the main thing you taste is so salt. Since you get to the Tutsi roll, it's over. Yeah. Those orange ones are good. Oh, I don't know.

Yeah. All right, Cherry. Um, Jerry's good. Pure's good. Yeah. I, I, Terry cope, dude. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I, yeah. Okay. Actually, question, I was on my list is whatever is in Coke slash diet Coke. Is that, like, whatever that flavor is? Is that trying to make something? I don't know what it is. Like, like, Coke.

Yeah, Coke flavoring. Coke. Cola flavors Is that would be? Cola flavoring. That's good. I'll take it. Yeah, I've got a soda on my list.

That's just like, that's my favorite type of soda, pop, Coke. Carmel flavored, is maybe. Maybe. Yeah, whatever it is. If I can put it on the list, I'm choosing to do so. This list is very obscure.

So, do it every order. Yeah, that's great. I think that's great. Yeah, that's what I'm going to stick with. Cherry, I mean, if we're doing like a suicide of all of our picks, Time's going to win with cherry and cola. Yeah. It's great.

I love that your Schmores last week, which I guess hasn't come out yet, but they told a story. Or no, that was Michael's. Oh, yeah. Mikel Schmars told a story. That's so funny. What was it? Yeah, what did he say about it? It was places you've never been.

He went Japan, then Hawaii, and he was just, he was doing Pearl Harbor. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. I love that. Okay, my artificial flavor. And here we're going from Frutie. I need you to think ice cream with me. I'm going cake batter.

Whoa. If I'm in a throw-you-spot or any kind of ice cream spot, I'm, I'm, what do they call it? Taste testing cake batter. You're getting that tiny little thing. No matter what, no matter what I'm getting. Okay. Because I love the taste of artificial cake batter.

I think I respect it, but I'm not. Yeah, I'm feeling time and, I'm not with you. I'm not with you. I'm not with you. I feel like it. I would never find myself taste testing it. Really? You can get out, really?

I think a taste test is about all you need of cake batter. Right. Yeah, you got to eat it once, probably. I remember when Coldstone came out with cake batter flavor, I was like, this is going to be great. Everyone was raving about it. I remember having it and being like, I got too much of this. Like if I'm thinking ice cream, it's always way more of the what feels more natural.

I don't know what natural even means, but like chocolate tip cookie dough and things like that are always what I'm migrating towards. But cake batterers pretty good, pretty good. Pretty good. Yeah. Time will tell. My next one, you guys are thinking more outside the box than I am. So here I go.

I'm going to try to think outside the box. No, my next one's going to be Pena Colada. I think, I think, oh, I know. And that's one that I have to go with my heart. Like I know, I understand. It's going to be a polarizing pick. but I grew up down the street from a 7-Eleven and my favorite flavor there was

at our 7-Eleven locally had a pinia collada and most 7-Elevens did not and it was unlike anything I've ever had for what I guess slushy Slurpy sorry yeah slurpy oh yeah yeah yeah it was awesome and I don't like actual pinia colladas but I like the pinia collada flavor the artificial version

which I guess actual Pia Clause Pinia collado would show like there are like the Italian ice like the fancy popsicle Would that be like light, super light colored, like a little bit of yellowish? Yeah, I guess. I mean, because Pinia colata is like pineapple and coconut together. Okay, that's probably, I'm with you then.

Because I think at some, one day in Ohio, it was like a super hot day on set. And there was like Italian ice, like the fancy popsicles that like they brought out in the coolers. And whatever. I think it was, I think it was what that was. And it was so good. Yes. It's very, uh, refreshing to me. So yeah.

I feel like I went so much of my life without ever trying it because you would be presented in a array of options, whether it's a slurpy or a popsicle. And it's like, do you want bright blue, bright red, bright purple, or this white one that's Pinia Colada? I was like, I don't know what that is, but I would never choose the white one. That's fair. That's why you got to get the little tester, tester cups. I got a tester of peanut cloud ice cream.

And then my next one is going to be, this is specifically a Gatorade flavor. It's called Glacier Freeze, and it's awesome. Yeah, it is. Glacier Freeze. I don't know. It's like the light blue. Yeah. There's cool blue,

which is all real blue. Unreal. Cool blue is pretty crazy flavor. Yeah. I've seen a video of a guy. I think there were like five different blue, blue hue of gate, like of Gatorade,

like all the blue different flavors. And he was able to get them all, like, guess them all blindly. It was pretty impressive. So yeah, that one's like, hey,

you're only going to get Gatorade of this one. Like you're not, You can't get glacier freeze, icy's or something. But even with it's only one thing, it's worth it to me. I think it's that good. Once a week, the pool boys come over out back. And when the pool is like freshly cleaned and shocked, there's a little glacier freeze to it.

It looks nice. Oh, okay. Very good. Yeah. There's not like a liner in the pool that like makes it a certain color. It's like pebbles and stuff. So it kind of changes color. That's cool.

Okay. all right jake you do too okay um i'm gonna go with uh i'm gonna go with the soda one cream soda whee whatever that is is good yeah man some people don't like that and i think those people are dumb really katherine sorry sorry sorry say it cream soda oh oh and i don't know what they're putting in red cream soda that's also a pretty unique taste that's not my pick but some People really go crazy for red creams. A lot of people in Arkansas like red cream soda. I've had this.

Cream soda is good though. Red cream soda. I've never. It's just like you think it would be and it's awesome. Yeah, just like cream soda with more, this red dye 40 and more sugar, I think. Who like it, you love. Yeah. Perfect.

Yeah. But yeah, cream soda is just a great flavor. A&W cream soda is just something to behold. Yeah. I think the sugar in those are like extra crazy, like even higher than most other things. Yeah. Love it. All right, time.

Okay. Cream soda inspired me. I'm going to go with cream sickle, like orange cream sickle. Oh, okay. I think in the pop, like the, yeah, there'll be popsicles. The popsicles of that, you guys, Friday base an entire paddle off of them. That's right. They're pretty good.

Even like the day we filmed, like, or shot those photos, like there were some real cream sickle popsicles. And I took a few home and I was like, these are amazing. I think the, even better than I remember. And the color of them, just a muted orange just is appetizing. Yes. It's nice looking. Because, yeah, sometimes the bright orange of like the just orange flavored things kind of scares me off a little bit.

Like, maybe I'll stick with, yeah. Too bright. We're going to get radioactive if we have this. Exactly. There is a free zonis, which are so much worse than slurpees from Quick Trip. It's like their version of Slurpees, but they have an orange cream. Not to be missed. Try it out.

Not to be slept on. You will be floored. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. All right, and you get one more time. Taking a bit of a left turn with this last one, but I'm going to throw it in there because I love it dearly. Dill pickle sunflower seeds.

I just bought some the other day. Great. I'm new to it. Okay. Have you acquired the, you don't have to acquire it. It's so good. I used to be like,

I'm still not crazy about pickles, but I like deal pickle sunflower seeds a lot. Thank you. I've gotten two bags in like the last week. Those are my lifeblood. my lifeblood when I'm doing like a road trip by myself because it's like, yep, it's you're active while you're eating it. Like you have. It takes some effort and so it keeps you awake. Amen, man. Dude, okay, great. I feel better about like, I was like, I was confident, but I was afraid of the potential backlash.

Jake, do you know, have you had these? Not the specific, no. No. No. Okay. What flavor or what brand I mean? Because I've had two now and I'm very partial to spits. Okay. I think what I usually have is bigs, but I don't, I think it's mainly because they've just been what's available. Yeah, spits are a little bit more muted of the deal piggle, not nearly as like in your face about it. Not as overwhelming. I think Biggs is what I got recently. And it was also good, but it was a little bit, it felt a little more artificial.

I'll try some spits next. Biggs and Spits, two rivals. But yeah, but Jake, not to be missed. Not to be missed. Yeah. I'm looking at my list and realizing a lot of mine had Cherry involved with them. So I'll save those for honorable mentions. since time I already kind of said, Sherry.

I'm going to go with, um, fruit punch. Yeah. That's a great one. Which is good. Another one, it's like there's no real flavor of this. Yeah. Yeah, what is it? Yeah.

I feel like fruit punch is like a go to, especially in like an unfamiliar environment. Like I'm in some other country or something and I don't really understand a lot of the options. I think that's coconut, but I don't know. I know fruit punch. I can count on fruit punch. Even like Hawaiian. bros. It's like, hey, we have these fun, like weird drinks you never heard of. I'm going to go fruit punch.

Yeah. Yeah. That's like that's a great value at fourth round kind of pick. Like, to run the football like we got it. We got our stuff good offensive line in here. That's not a sexy pick necessarily, but it's like everyone likes fruit punch. I can trust fruit punch. That's good. All right. My last one. I guess, uh, I think this is what's, I think I'm going to go green apple. Yeah. I think I'm going to green apple. I like it. Um, I think it's pretty, it might be the most consistent flavor throughout every single thing that it's in. Like you, you almost always know, like, it's like somebody, like no one

has a patent on the green apple like rest of the people. Yeah, you're all sharing it. It's like, yeah, whatever. IPO? No, uh, what's it called? IP? Yeah, like, it's like everywhere. Everyone's got it. Like, and so every single green apple thing, you know exactly what you're getting. Um, and it's just another one of those like, yeah, it's not going to be my first round pick. But it's a great, it's a great value at number four. Yeah, I agree. I haven't really gravitated much towards green apple. It would never be something I go towards.

But like a sour, whatever, green apple for some reason, I'm like a skittal is sour and green. Oh, yeah, great. Yeah. I picture green apple being inherently a little bit sour. A little bit, but there is such thing as sour apple. And I'm not thinking that. I just want to like that, you know. Good.

Okay. I just want my integrity to be firmer. Okay. Good list, boys. Let's see, what else we got? This was another one that was only specific to one exact flavor, but it's so good that I almost picked it. Orange lava burst from high sea.

Oh, the high sea, yeah. You had that? I don't know if I know this. Yeah, I'm sure. That'll like, go ahead. I mean, it'll like knock you back. Yeah. Off your feet a little bit.

Like, it'll take some enamel off your teeth. I'm sure that you can buy it at the stores. But like the only place I've ever had is at McDonald's. Oh. And it was like instead of getting orange juice back in the day, I was like, I don't want orange juice. I'd take the orange lava verse. Yeah. What a hack.

Cool. It's great breakfast. Great breakfast drink. It's insane. Yeah, it's so good. Um, I also had Glacier Cherry, which is kind of similar to Glaciery. It's like the white. It's white.

Yeah, white one for, yeah, I kind of went down the, uh, Gatorade rabbit hole. I also said Riptide Rush, which is the only purple. flavor that I'd actually write on my list. It's kind of that grape, grapish flavor. And then I just had mango. I think mangoes. Mango's on my list.

Like for honorably. I thought about mango, but I was like, that one feels like too, um, like naturally flavored, I feel like, it's probably not still.

But for some reason about it being like a tropical fruit. Like, oh, I can't do mango or pineapple. Those belong to other countries. That would be, you know, over and ours.

I'd be gentrifying those flavors. So, yeah, mango, like, I think mango popsicle. of like as one of the best popsicle flavors. Yeah, mango's just a positive.

When someone says we got mango flavor, it's never like, I don't know. Like it's like, okay. I might not choose it, but I like that. Yep. So I had bomb pop. Like I'm thinking, Oh, that's a good one.

Are those like the red, white, and blue? Yeah. Is that all bomb pops or are there bomb pops that are different? I think that's, is it one of the same? Bomb pop is red, white, and blue. Okay, cool. Yeah, those are really good.

I had peachy, keene, monster. I figured it was too niche, so I didn't go for it. Peach, though, is just a good. Peach is a good flavor and the peach monster is really good. Oh, man, peach rings. Yeah, peach is pretty good. Peach is pretty good. You really

got down like the specific things. Like, I would have said Dr. Pepper, I guess, if I were just thought artificial flavors like that. Yeah. What was the one other one? Neapolitan. There you go. It's a solid. The only banana flavor that I like, but I do like it a lot is banana lappy taffy.

Oh, I was thinking about going for that one. Because, like, I can't even think of other things that have banana flavors. That's what I was going to say. But Laffy Taffy does it right. They don't. Not very many people do banana. I guess runts, yeah, does the flavor and the shape. I can't think of a negative banana experience I've had artificially, but I just haven't had very many.

Like banana ice cream, maybe that is a little more natural, but I don't like the flavor of that. You've had that? Yeah, I've had like, yeah, some type of like, yeah, there's like banana and like, a protein shake or yeah ice cream froyo a place or whatever and i like bananas on their own i don't like a mixed okay what about a banana split because that like i think of that and i like that sounds amazing have you ever had one i think i've had one from dairy queen one time i think they're a myth dude that's like you hear about it all the time they're like i've never seen somebody consume a banana split my entire yeah the man with a yellow hat and curious george eats those and i don't know if anyone

else did yeah i think i've had one at dairy queen i you're right i've never seen it i mean it would have rock my world if I like called someone like oh sorry can I call me back I'm finishing up a banana split I'm like yeah yes yes you're you're never ever going to encounter banana split also it's crazy is like growing up I thought banana split was like the uh pinnacle of indulgence like you yeah we might go get ice cream but we're not getting a banana split you know what I mean hot fudge and a cherry it's that's that's your calories for a week in that thing you know what I mean like I don't I feel extra privilege now that I think I have had one. And I think it was great.

It was as lived up to the hype. Let's do some banana splits in Gulf Shores. That would be fun. My, is this ice cream, bananas and whipped cream? I think so. Some kind of, there might be chocolate syrup. Yeah. We can do bananas splits in Gulf Shores.

Dude, off the podcast, I'm going to talk to you about Gold Shores. I got a fun idea. Cool. Can't wait. It's going to be awesome. Session three specifically, I think. So not trying to entice anybody to come to session three, but I am, actually. Are there still spots open for session one?

I don't know. Okay. I think I have something special plan for session one. Okay. Yeah, I don't know about session one. Okay. My auto mentions, I put orange, kind of like grape. I feel like it's just like solid, consistent, especially like orange slices.

Those were great back of the day, like the artificial ones. Like someone might actually bring slices of oranges, but also like my grandpa, he was diabetic. He always had these like little like, yeah, I mean just like fake slices of orange. Oh, it's pretty sugar on them. Is that what you mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are those what they put? I've had cookies that have those in them. And I never liked those. But I think the orange slices on their own are good. They were like this strange.

I don't want cookies. I don't think of the right thing. I don't know. Because it was like it didn't feel right. I think maybe it's like someone from my church would bring them to potlucks or something. Like there were these. cookies that seemed kind of vanilla-ish or something like that, but then they had those orange, like soft,

sugary candy in them. Oh, wow. No, this is just like, looks like a slice of an orange, but it's like a giant gummy bear texture. I think that's what I'm thinking of.

I don't know. Put them in cookies. I think someone put them in cookies. She shouldn't have done that. These were tired. I'm going to look this up. I had some cherry-based ones. Cherry lime,

just cherry lime made, whatever that, you know. Yeah. flavor is if there's like a snow cone i'll get the cherry lime i'll also get snow cone sorry a white cherry's good white cherry is another oh i missed it i should have said that wild cherry pepsi wild cherry's great some of that rachel makes fun of me for because she claims i'm the only one who likes this artificial flavor is black cherry yeah you're you are the only one that likes that

i like a black cherry snow cone or even like a black cherry shasta soda i can think of what that didn't tastes like it's bad really good it makes me think it'd be like black licorish it feels like disgusting i think it's sinful kind of like black churn yeah i don't know if you should have that dude yeah i mean people have their own convictions but i just i would think what i'm thinking of dude that's i think that's what jake's thinking of these these cookies with the they have oh yeah okay those are the orange slice i'm thinking of but i would never put them in a cook i wouldn't either but I've picked many times. Why would you combine two amazing snacks?

Yeah. Yeah, I wrote down blue. I wrote down lemon lime. I wrote that down too. Like in Sprite is what I had pictured specifically. Because I don't know if I like lemon lime in like Gatorade or something like that. But Sprite says lemon lime on it or something like that. Right.

So I like that. Which is so funny that like Sprite and the yellow Gatorate are the same flavor somehow. Yeah. Just not even close. It's funny because Lemon Lime is my favorite Gatorade, but I don't really like Sprite. Really? We should share a commercialist together sometime, then. And then root beer, whatever flavor that is.

Yeah. Yeah. That was the one when you said dump-dums. I was like, I love root beer dumb-dums. Yeah. Interesting. Are there, wait, what's the, there's like a root beer barrel candy, right? Oh, my.

Those are very interesting. Those are amazing. Okay. They're a little hit or miss for me. Like, I have to be in the right mood. But they're, picture something before you look it up, and it might, be exactly that. I've never, ever seen

this. Little barrels that you eat. Rupier barrels. My parents never spent money on those, but I've had them plenty of times. Maybe they come from the same place that like those strawberry candies. Yeah. Are you like, I don't know where those come from. Those things are nuts too. I like those.

Holy cow. I've never seen this. It's just a barrel of root beer. What the heck? It looks like a tutsy roll. Like one of the bigger tutsy rolls. Yes, dude. Yeah. Oh, I bet I would love this. Yes, you would have. Too late now. Yep.

They're extinct. That's good. All right, go to our Facebook group and let us know who won. I think those are fun. Those are all fun. Yeah. I like all our lists there. Good topic.

Yeah, good one, Jake. Sorry, just two quick ones. What were you saying? What was that? I don't you guys say my headphones are hurting my ears. They're not very comfortable. Maybe they're not the greatest. Honestly?

Maybe they're red, is the only thing going for them. Is this why table setters didn't take off? I really appreciate comfortable things. Yeah. Oh. They're so, like, they're so hard. Oh, yeah, they kind of have some dissonance when you listen to stuff in there, too.

But, you know, what I do like is I heard it again. You know when you hear four distant air horns. That can only mean one thing. What? We're talking. You look like you're in a tornado drone. What? What is that?

Do a tornado draw, get on your knees, face the wall. What? What? What was it mean? The four distant air horns, of course, means we're talking about being comfortable, which means, of course, we're talking about cozy earth, which, of course, means we're talking about viscos from bamboo, which, of course, means we're talking about their loungewear,

pajamas and bed sheets primarily. And no more applause. I kind of like that. Cutting them off. Almost. Yeah. Thanks, guys. We don't need too much. Yeah, not too much. Not too much. Not too much applause. And not too much payment coming out of your wallet.

Hey, where do you keep your wallet? Why don't you hug me and find out? And why don't you go ahead and put 20% of it back in your wallet with promo code GRC sitewide. Go to cozierotcom, take 20% off and pick you something else, pick you something out, pick you, gosh, yep.

Pick out something for yourself or someone else. Cozierutte.com that's that's the only thing you're going to be hearing of me here at night. You hear me sleep. piggybacking that. You guys been to the dentist lately?

No. Nope. I feel like I should. Something hurts, but. I'll go. You'll be fine. If I keep ignoring it, then it's probably fine. Kind of like voice cracker stuttered while you said something hurts.

Something hurts. I probably should have something. I don't know, my. Rachel made me an appointment. You know, just we live down here. Probably should get a dentist. And that's a nice part about having a wife is you go to the dentist finally. And I, well, a couple things.

One, I've realized something about myself. If I realize I'm going to be spending more than two minutes with someone, I really put on a show. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But, man, I had the hygienist, the anesthesiologist, everyone. I mean, I've talked to five different women that day. And I hope they all went home and said, I met the funniest guy in the world. I put on a show for them for an hour and a half. So I learned that about myself.

What kind of stuff are you doing? I don't know. I'm just like, I'm just like looking for anything to like joke about or make fun of myself about or talk about the dental industry about, you know, like they're giving me glasses to wear and I'm making jokes about the glasses. Then they give me a second set of glasses. And those were green. They were like night. It was like what you would perceive night vision goggles to be like. So, you know, more jokes there. Anyway, I got prescribed quite a bit of stuff She comes in

She goes, all right, we took all the x-rays We looked at everything Teeth look good, no cavities Everything looks good We're just going to do some preventative stuff For your gums And she's like, so I'm sending you home with this You got new toothpaste, you got mouthwash

We'll have you come back in for your night guard It's like, night guard I said my teeth were good And so then I'm talking about Mouthpieces from football back in the day and whatever. Yeah, yeah. One thing I learned, you know,

they give you glasses because there's gonna be a light in your eyes. I think what would really help the dental industry is to give you headphones because I really don't like the noises associated with dentistry. It's like, yes, you've numb me

and I don't feel anything, but it's still just like, you know, in your mouth and stuff. And I think... You have a procedure. This was not a checkup. No, it was.

But even just like the, they're like... Like the pick and stuff. You know, the sucking. the grinding and the, I guess not grinding, but whatever tools and stuff they're doing, even just like the, it feels like grinding, like when they're like doing the basic, like cleaning of stuff and getting in crevices and stuff. Yeah, I guess that would, whatever it is, the polishing.

It's just, it's all so loud and scary sounding. And I kind of like it. Oh, really? I don't. They do. Yeah. That's great. That's like civil torture or something right there, man.

There's something about like what's going on. It feels like they're one little mistake away from really. Really hurting me. Yeah. Yeah. Like, dude, I have to go back tomorrow. I was there for, no exaggeration. I was there for two hours on Thursday.

Now I'm going to go back on Tuesday to clean the left side of my mouth. What? You said my teeth were good. Yeah. It was existence. I just say that all the time because that feels like more time than you have to spend the dentist. That's wild. It was a lot of time.

Wow. Okay. Good for you. Go and go and get dental stuff. To end it, I go back to the front. desk lady and she's like all right you got this you got this and your appointment's Tuesday um would you like a call and i was like sure yeah i'll take a call to remind me she got and she kind of had this reaction like all right it seemed like she was surprised that i wanted the call and i was like i don't know you

offered it so then she takes out her pen and i'm like what is she writing down i haven't even given her my phone number and she starts writing and she goes there you go there's your card and i guess she'd ask me, do you want a card? And then I said, yes, I'd like a card. So she just gave me a card that said, you have an appointment on Tuesday. I was like, oh, well, I see why you're annoyed by this, but why is this even an option? She could have set that up better. Would you like a card? That's an old school thing. Yeah. Yeah, I've gotten cards. Yeah. I've never gotten a card for an appointment before. Oh, really? Yeah. I just feel like they need, it's all electronic these days. Just text me. Say, hey, reminder. Yeah. Here's a link if you need to fill out paperwork.

Huh. Here's a link for your left half of your mouth. Yeah, it was kind of fun of the rest of the day. You know, when you get clean, the right side just feels like, feels like you could feel everything. She feels so like. Really? You could tell. Like, gritty on just like just this half.

What in the, what were they doing to your like teeth that took so long? Well, I think to get this night guard, it's like very custom fit for your teeth. So she took this like massive tool and had to do like some type of like 3D. imaging, you know, in my mouth that had to like go through everything. Dude, that tool is kind of crazy. Instead of being a really annoying sound, it plays like a nursery rhyme when it's working. But then it plays another sound. It somehow knows if you're getting a good x-ray or not.

So it would be like, all right, you good? All right, here we go. And it was like, okay, okay, I'm off. She would go back to like that-da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, it was two different like sounds. So it was an x-ray that they were just moving manually with their hand? Some sort of x-ray thing. Maybe there's not actual radiation, but yeah, some set of 3D imaging to get a scope of what my teeth are like.

That took a while. I have a friend who worked for or worked for something. He told me about this five years ago when AI was like more confusing than it is now even. But he said he works for a dental AI company. And I wonder if it was making software like this. Cool. I don't know what that meant. And I should have asked more questions.

but anyway, who knows. If you had a friend doing AI stuff five years ago, I bet he's doing just fine. He's driving Rivian. He's doing all right. Oh, yeah. He's also the first person I ever heard that said he was a professional video game player. And so I was like, oh, really?

Wow. Yeah, I go to tournaments and play Halo. Wow. Is he on Twitch or just the love of the game? Oh, this was in 2010. This was pre-Twitch. Oh, wow. This guy's always been ahead of the curve.

yeah what's you on to now dental AI data centers yeah I don't know I don't know what he's up to these days anyway that's fun you're dental guy now yeah I gotta go back I'm like how long is tomorrow's appointment got to be I got I got stuff to do before I go to Iowa yeah all of a sudden you're not you're not crackers made jokes yeah yeah yeah maybe that's why it took two hours I was performing the whole time You get to wait for laughter to die down before. Before I can get on to my next thing. Yeah.

I have a few other things in my notes. One is that Henry loves Andy Griffith. Oh, good for him. I know. As he should. Raised right. Yeah. Jake is like one of the few shows I ever watched growing up.

Okay, okay. So yeah, I mean, yeah, he drove back. It was like, I haven't only one kid compared to four on a road trip home. It was like, this is, this is vacation. This is easy. So Henry, yeah, and near the end of the trip, he was getting a little bit restless. And I was like, you want to watch Andy Griffith? And he's like, yeah.

Yeah. And so there's some episode where he says 104 a bunch. It's, I don't know, maybe I can think of this up. I mean, yeah, I'm trying to remember. I don't know the context, but I remember the 104. Let's do it twice. It was, it was like there's some big manhunt, like some prisoner got away. And usually Mayberry is a very chill town.

Yeah. But they were setting up this like roadblock for this prisoner that was getting away. And all these like bigwigs came in, you know, that weren't Mayberry people. And, and they were talked to him on the radio and they said 10-4. And Andy would be like 10-4, you know, whatever. Oh, no, I already hung up so I can't say to it. Anyway, so Henry just every time they said 10-4, just smile and go, 10-4. And so, yeah.

I love that. I love that. I think, yeah, Manhunt is what it's called, I think. I can remember that episode. Yeah. At least vaguely. So that's something. I just figured you would appreciate that, Jake, as an Andy Griffith guy, but apparently

so I do. Yeah. I didn't grow up with it really at all. So, um, Timit, we, good chance we might have already talked about this before, but I don't know about your household, but in our household, we never watched any of the color episodes because right around when they got color TV is when Barney left the show. Yeah.

So my dad was like. Yeah. than black and white. I think, I mean, by the time, we would just cycle through all the black and white ones, like a million times. So then we were like, okay, I guess we'll see what the color ones are about. And, like, there were some good ones.

But, like, Helen, I, I don't remember who, who is Andy's girlfriend in, like, the original ones? So Thelma Lou is with. She's with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who is Andy's girl in the, all the early seasons? I can't remember. But anyway, Helen is in,

picture. She's not as fun as Andy's old girlfriend. Like, what's his name? Why am I forgetting everybody? Oh, yeah, Helen Crump. Yeah. Opie's too old. He's supposed to be a kid. But. Go into happy days.

I mean, we still watched a lot of color ones, too, but majority black and white. We just watched it a lot. What happened to Andy's wife? Do we ever know about that? Just single dad. I don't know if it's I'm sure. It's a coal mining accident?

She, she, was there. Yeah, breadwinner of the family. I think, yeah, she's in the minds. Okay. Yeah, sounds right. That would be fun. Go back now, make a pre-log to the Andy Griffith show. Yeah. Prolog. Pre-quel. That's where it was looking for. Pre-go. Pre-log sounded cool. And the other thing, I just wrote this down is like a halfway through to a segment. And I was like, I just said, I don't want to ever live in an area that. And then I had a few different things on list and I would love to add on to it. But I don't ever want to live in an area that doesn't have public restrooms and or requires a pass code for the restrooms in stores. I don't like that.

It bothers me. I was at a place in Dallas and I was like, you got to ask for the code to go to the bathroom here. I don't like that. And I also don't ever live in an area that only has paper straws available. I just don't want that life. It is nice that that for the most part, I feel like has come and gone. Yeah, even like the eco-conscious ones, they're like, we figured out, like a plastic that's going to, you know, biodegrade better or something. Right. I don't remember ever, like, running into it much, but just poor coffee house in like Lennox or something like that. This was always had paper straws and I was like, I don't, I don't want to go there.

That's a huge bomber, dude. It just dissolves. It turns into mush. On part with that is the wooden silverware. You ever had that? Oh, yeah. Some Aussaie places will try this. Hmm.

I think that's where I had, yeah, I had a wooden spoon. Maybe at an ice cream place in Colorado. like oh I asked I said do you guys by chance have plastic spoons and they're like yes we do always offer them for patriots like you yeah we keep in the back thank you so anyway I don't know I I'm sure there's more things that are on my list but there's certain like just commodity like just conveniences here that I'm like I don't want to I don't want to go back to thinking can I go in the bathroom this place or do I have to like go through the hoops of this you know I'm trying to think of any for me.

Yeah. Uh-uh. You're saying. Parking even, like, that, that bottom in Louisville, we're like, we got to pay for parking everywhere we go. Oh, yeah. I'm not, that's not a, that's not a non-negotiable because I understand a lot of larger cities are going to have that. But, like, that's kind of a bummer. I was like, come on.

It's parking. There should be enough. Yeah. So. I don't ever want to live in a area or in a neighborhood where there is zero American flags being flown. Okay. I like that in a neighborhood. I like to see a few.

Yeah. That's few. Yeah. Yeah, just a few, though. We don't need to overwhelm anyone. Yeah. That's nice. Okay.

Did I, you know the Coldstone crematorium episode where you said like it, love it, got to have it? Yeah, yeah. I think maybe this is one of those times we're like, am I going to repeat myself on the podcast? Did we talk about that because of pet crematorium things? Do you know? I have no memory. That doesn't sound familiar to. I don't know what that means.

My brother-in-law, who I stayed with in Dallas, his brother-in-law, has a pet crematorium in Minnesota. And apparently, he charges the exact same amount of money no matter what size your pet is. I think it's a flat rate. Just burn that baby to the ground. And so he's like, yeah, we've done horses. we've done parakeets. Same price. Holy cow.

Yeah. And people will pay for both. Yeah. I like the idea. We've never raised our prices for a year. Yeah, I don't know if I've talked about this or not yet, but I was like, I got at at least write it down to like, because my brother-in-law, it's kind of like, I don't know if they roll their eyes at it, but like, they have like this very nice looking earn for

one of their dogs. And it's because their brother-in-law made it for them when their dog died. and like I don't think we would have probably you know made it like this beautiful wooden like embossed thing with like Lexi forever in our hearts kind of thing but like yeah this guy did it for free and so it got us down this rabbit hole of talking about pet crematoriums wow I'd be intrigued to see it was hilarious to me

like the size of the urn for a burned horse and probably oh for your urn yeah you're getting like a trough yeah maybe how big is it you can't fit on the shelf can't feel the car. So Anyway, just a random Yeah, just a wild thing. You don't think like I, this is how I'm going to make money. I'm going to cremate. I'm going to burn some animals.

Yeah, I guess there's a market for it. But man, I. Yeah, I was going to say like, does it, how heartless does it make me that I was like, that I'm like, I don't think I would ever. But I mean, is that like, I don't know if I would ever cremate my pet. But I don't know what that says about me. I don't, I don't know if it says anything. thing about you, man. I think you're just fine. I think you're okay. I think it's something we don't

think about very often. I don't think I'd like to work with the dead in any capacity, even if it's a dead pet. All it would take was like, I don't know, I just feel like you'd be working out of the corner your eye, you would like your eyes would play tricks on you. You'd like, I swear I saw his palm move. It's just freaking me out now. And then you're having to check every dead animal's pulse and I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't like that aspect of it. I will say dead animal over dead people, though, for me every time. Hot take. Really?

No, I was kidding. Really? You're serious. Huh. Oh, yeah. Seeing it just a dead person naked. Ew. Yeah.

Yikes. Yikes. Yeah. Good. We'll stop it. Yeah. We're all in agreement. Are you thinking of a man or woman right now, Jake?

I was thinking of a gross woman. Oh, I was thinking of a dude. That's funny. What does that say about us? It says I scooch fry, you scroach back. This one says music bed. Oh, yeah. Just a weird.

Oh. Okay. Uh, uh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. I like this. Good race. Looking for me to make you feel real nice. There's nothing like a little good ranchers will suffice

Oh, nothing else to eat Nothing that'll be nice Just a bunch of meat from good ranchers It'll feel so nice Is that how I'm nice with nice then? Yeah, that was good, that was good I was trying to sort of like spoon feed you I love that, just like, that's good

All right, that'll be it. That is so funny. Thank you. We need to add some of our own in here, dude. Yeah, there's so many blank ones. I don't know how to do it, but I'm sure it's probably impossible. I'm sure it's super impossible. I don't know how to do it, but I bet it would take me between two and four minutes to figure it out. I just don't know if I have that type of time. I shift at chick flay starts. Man, everyone's just looking for a way to cut corners in this life.

Timing for one. You know who doesn't cut corners? Is our American farmers? They cut the corner off meat when they're serving nice steak to you. But that's the only time. That's it. And also, they don't actually serve the steak to you. You would cut the corner at that point. Yeah, you would order the steak from Good Ranchers.com. You would know that it's the best steak around,

and then it would come straight to your door frozen for you to either thaw or throw in your freezer for later. You could also get chicken if you want. You can get pork. You could get, you know, some wildcotsie. You can get it all. Gooderrachers.com. use our promo code GRKC, do all the things.

Right, Jake? I don't want to live in an area that doesn't have good ranchers on their stoops, their porches, and doorsteps. The funniest part is your overall body language pushing a button. It's just like just, I don't know what it is about it. It's like your face is kind of uncomfortable to push the button. I don't know. That was forced.

I forced it. Anyway, go buy the stuff we talked about. Yeah, GRC from goodrange.com. They're American we delivered. They say, welcome to the table. Love you, Good Rangers. So, Timon, what are you going to do next? Besides Chick-fil-A?

I think, I was like wondering. I was like, hopefully I'm still editing a lot for Friday. I was like, we'll discuss about that, but I'm down to do all that stuff. podcast other things I don't think it'll be that different than when I was here before

I mean like yeah I'm talking to someone from like in my church denomination for maybe doing some videos for my church like at like a denominational scale like stuff for websites and stuff

that can be super fun yeah I don't think it'll actually be that different I'm just like yeah but I'm Do you have aspirations to make music right now? Every day, brother. But I don't. I mean, there were a couple nights in Ohio where I was like, had some free time and tried to make some music.

Like, I think that it always comes back to like, I'll have a musical idea that I like. And then I'll be like, okay, now I want to try to write words to it. And then I give up. Yeah. So it's kind of in a cycle of that right now. But really, it's easier for you to get the music. Let me too. A lot easier.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. So I'm surprised that you as you're more vocally gifted than you are. Right. And even like melodies come way, way more naturally. Like melodies are fine. It's just like, yeah, I don't know. I just, I can't.

It's such a block for me for something. Like I get so cringed out by my own attempt. There's got to be a way to like exercise that brain where it's just like, just go. I think there is. Yeah. Even like it was something about when I did that little. Forrest Frank open verse thing. Yep.

Where something about it was way easier because I didn't feel like it was, it was like, it could be a little, it could be cheesy because it's a Forrest Frank song. That's like his whole thing. And so like, I was like, oh, but the lyrics like they were meaningful and they met like, but I was okay that they were a little on the nose or whatever. And so then it was easy. Like I wrote that in like five minutes. So maybe that's your, that's your fear is like it not being as good as you wanted to be.

Yeah. Because that's how I was even, somehow I got over the mental block for that one song running home, which the lyrics don't mean anything, which is why I was able to write it. So I don't know. It's like, maybe you just need to understand that like, I think more musicians need to just admit like this song doesn't really mean anything. It's just sounds cool. And yeah, I think somebody probably understands this feeling, but I don't really necessarily. Like right. I think Ben record one time said that is like a ton of people. Yeah. I'm seeing it. This song is like a love song, but it's not like anything about my life. I just, I just, I just. I just. I'd love songs. Like, even if there's specific things mentioned, those just sound cool. You don't have to be something that he. Right. Yeah. But then his really good songs are the ones I feel like are more specific.

Yeah. Like real things. For sure. Yeah. But definitely still aspirations are. Do you think you'd be more willing to like put out music and write lyrics and yeah, just go through those iterations if your name wasn't attached to it? Possibly.

Like, could you still get reps putting out music under some other name? and maybe face less perceived judgment from people for the lyrics being dumb yeah probably right or even if i was like in a band or something and like yeah it didn't it wasn't all me that's fair i could see that being the case yeah all right we'll start a bin all right let's do it writing something we're calling abraham lincoln's boyhood home abraham lincoln's logs yeah dropping logs i'm gonna i'm gonna do a comment of the week And this is not really a comment on the week, but it's around there. July 26, 2018.

Ready for this? This was yesterday, eight years ago. As a time of recording this. This is a day that will live in ghosty history. You ready? Time for a big life update. For the last year, I've lived in Dallas making YouTube videos with John Horton. And I've had an absolute blast.

He brought me onto his channel. Let me live with them for free and rename the channel, Jake and Josh. But recently some opportunities have come up that, got get me insanely excited for the future. When all this Ellen DeGeneres limous craziness gets over with in Princeton, September, I'm excited to announce that I'll be moving back to Kansas City.

I'll be back in the city with some of my closest friends and also Brad Ellis. My days working with trade community and also will begin starting to do my own thing a bit, whatever that means. Can't wait to be with all my KC people again and can't wait to figure out where I'm going to live because I keep forgetting to do that.

That's Jake. That was a pretty good life update. I was expecting to cringe at it, but no, that was good. I feel like I paid my respects and had a lot to look forward to. That's cool. Yeah. Huh. If you didn't do that, we would have never started the podcast. Oh, eight years ago. Facebook status. That was that you? Uh, Facebook. Yeah, Facebook memory. There's a picture of you. I don't know what you kind of shirt. Looks like you're wearing like a solar system shirt. Do you know this shirt? A solar system. I'm serious. Timon, what does that look like to you? At first, I thought it looked like different. Oh, it's solar system for sure. Yeah, yeah. That's

space. Jake? Oh, I do know what shirt that is. Yeah, that was, I mean, during the limo trip, I think I packed two shirts and it was like every city you go to, anybody got a medium. Anybody got a shirt? Yeah, someone gave that to us at Disney. I remember.

It was a Disney shirt. Wow. So anyway, I took a street try that I was going to put it on the Facebook group and I forgot until just now. So shut up. That's fun. Yeah. Good times.

My comment of the week comes on Spotify from Charlie Saunders and said, missing time in right now. Can you guys free him from the basement? He's free. Indeed has been done. That's right. Yeah, I just had to like listen to Brad talking to nothing because I came here, Jake.

So it's been weird. And then follow up comment from someone else, Andre, says, I don't think that banging is the carpet cleaners. I think it's timing in the basement trying to escape. that's pretty good i somebody posted or somebody commented today that it was really good and then it got me thinking um i was like that's a really fair point we were talking last episode about um like changing like the baseball like stadium dimensions i was just reading that yeah um and somebody goes somebody quotes me saying brad and he says i'm such a purist also brad let's make field goals

wide shaped and add hot zones to basketball. I was like, you're right. I am definitely not a purist. That is not what I am. I am a fan of variables being changed. That's what it is. And I use, because I was like,

I'm such a purist. I want football to be playing the elements. The reason I want to be played in the elements is not because I'm a purist. It's because I love the idea of it. The variable. Same every time. Yeah,

that's what I'm more of a fan of. And I, so thank you to Justin for Justin Ross. And making me think about and really introspective, you know, thinking about that. I also liked, now we're just in the sports section, Grant Holmes, who I went to high school with, he commented and said like the, there's this like a basketball analyst who said, he always thought a basketball team should be able to set their own three point lines, similar to like baseball teams getting to set their own outfield fence line. Like when the 2016 Warriors had Steph, Clay, and KD, they could move the line back three feet when they're playing at home. That'd be a really interesting.

That'd be crazy. experiment on how good shooters really are because I feel like so much of shooting is like a little bit muscle memory like you know how far behind the three point line you are but like do you think do you think Steph Curry would be a really good I mean he's the best shooter ever but like do you think they would be really good shooters if they had no lines on a basketball court and they just think they would I think they're just hand eye coordination is so

good to like see how far away something is and just make your body put it in the hoop yeah that's fair like I'm looking looking at a laundry basket right now and I'm like I have no problem adjusting my you know flick to to get in there you know that's a fair point anyway how are the the carpets smelling the the afternoon afterwards it was like dang this is awesome like this smells so good and so fresh and then now that's been a week there is like I don't know like 10% of that smell is still around yeah it's kind of a bummer and I think I'm just chalking it up just like this is renting I'm not going to have him come back out and rip up everything.

Like, we already moved everything in, just whatever. That stinks. Yeah, whenever I was like, they're cleaning the pads. I was like, I think they should just redo it all. But that's so expensive and such a pain. And yeah, you're not going to ask that. But, yeah, obviously, yeah, it was my home. Just get rid of all of the old put in new that smells good.

That's how you fix this. You get the urine out of here. You don't clean up the urine. Fun times. But it's not the master, and it's not the downstairs where we live and everything. Just for my parents.

One of the week? I don't really know if we did that. Sorry, I don't want to write a comment. Anybody? My one of the week is I'm still very much like trying to process this in my own life, but Rachel is my wife.

And for the past three years, we've been married. For the past time we've been married, we've been living and sleeping in the same bed together. So we have the same routine. But it's so interesting, like, and we're going to bed early-ish, and we're waking up early-ish. She leaves town, and immediately, like, my routine leaves,

but, like, not in a bad way. Like, this is what I say when I'm still processing this. Like, I'm trying to figure out the, like, chemistry or whatever you would call it behind, like, night owlness. Like, I am now, I'm not going to bed at 10 o'clock or 10.30. I am working from 10 p.m. to 12.30 at night, and I'm extremely productive. Yeah. And I was trying to figure out, like, am I missing out by not doing that on a nightly basis?

Like, is this, is this me, like, listening to my body? Is this, like, how I'm made to work at this time of night? So it's been awesome. I've gotten so much done in the last three days late at night. And it's just like, oh, the olden days, like, old single jakes back. But it's like, I think this is, I know, it's like trying to do research. And I learned about, like, chronotypes, which is, like, basically this, like, gene that, like, like could be like the explanation behind being a morning person or a night owl.

So I want to like dig in and like learn more about it. But at the same time, I know at least in the meantime, it's like this has been great. Yeah, it's interesting. It's like, it's part of it like, maybe it's not sustainable,

but it's like it's good enough for while she's. And maybe that, because I'm the same way where it's like all of a sudden, I didn't even mean to and I stayed up till 3 a.m. working and like, whatever. but I don't sleep as well. Yeah, it's just like certain things are just different with.

Yeah. But my very, my, my, my, my, my, my routines and schedules and even my eating habits, like, it's like, I didn't really eat dinner tonight. Yeah. I don't know. I just, I just, I just, which I would never think of doing that, like, without my, you know, with my kids here or something, you know, like, I don't know, just different. Yeah.

Like, Rachel left and she's always home during the day. So in my mind, I thought, oh, during the day, I will now be so much more productive. but it didn't really happen that way. It was like, I don't know, I'm kind of in trouble like getting going or I'm getting distracted or whatever. And it's something, it just feels like how I was created.

It was like everyone else in my life goes to sleep and I get to work. Dude, you should move to Hawaii next because that's what TJ would always talk about, like all his friends on the mainland would be asleep by the afternoon. And so he's like, no one would ever distract me. Like, obviously, your wife would still be there.

but whatever. Yeah. Okay, good win. I don't know if I have a specific win. Mine is just being back. Yeah, mine's, I'm glad to be back.

Time being back. Yeah, that was mine too. Even just like getting to go to church again. Like, yeah. Because man, it just sucked having like Sunday through Thursday

was the work days in Ohio. And I was just like, oh really. I like literally have like friends at a church like 40 minutes away. But I just want to go to church. Like we hung out like, when we could, but yeah, just fun to go back to church. Interesting.

It was on Sunday. Because didn't you film in a church? Not always? We sometimes we would. I mean, there was like very little of that, but it's even just like businesses, you know, in Amish country, there's like so many businesses that are like closed on Sunday. And so then you can like, if you need to get into a place to film, you do it on Sunday. I see.

That's when it's like available. You're not like interrupting customers. So for the film world, it makes sense. But yeah, it was too bad for. for trying to go to church. But yeah. Yeah. So when just be back with my family, back at church, back.

Heck yeah, man. Back to whatever. I'll figure out. I guess I'll figure out what I'm back to. I'm pumped that you're back, timing. I don't know if I've given time and a hug in my entire life. I gave time and a hug when I saw him today. That's nice.

Can you think of any time we hug? That's my one of the week that you guys hug. I try not to touch you at all. I try to. Time and hugs you and he goes, I knew you kept your wallet there. Yeah, that's exactly what you put your wallet, huh? You're protecting your wallet or you're just happy to see me. I don't know if I was, I mean, when in the week is just, I don't know, I guess celebrating,

celebrating anybody's birthday, like a monumental birthday is always great. And I am blessed to have really great in-laws and specifically really great mother-in-law that I got to celebrate this year. And I don't know. I feel like you always hear about people having a hard time with their in-laws. And I'm like, I'm, I, when Catherine talks to her mom, I'm like, that's great. I'm glad that you're talking to your mom. Like, that means that you're going to, like, come back, like, refreshed and renewed. and have great perspective on things and have yeah she gives great wisdom and guidance and has raised
