All right. So happy Monday ghosties. We went from saying, is this okay to talk about on the podcast to maybe we should text glide to now. We have to talk about this. The very first thing to start off. I can't wait to see what glide texted you. So we went over to Glyde's house on Sunday afternoon for the Chiefs game. Yeah. Me, Jake, Gunner, Glyde, Nick Haggaman and his friend Marcus. I'd never met Marcus before you. I met Marcus once. Okay. Something that's different about Marcus than the rest of us. He's black. Okay. Right. And so you get there, it's like, oh, Marcus, black, nice. Like, no problem. I know, I like, I like black people. Great. And then I go to tap them up and I notice one of his, one of his arms is different than the other. It's, it's non-functional. We'll call it. Finding Nemo-esque. Finding Nemo-esque. It's like it's there. There's Marcus and there's Marlon or whatever, right? And so anyway, I'm, I'm meeting the guy, right? He's like, it's there's Marcus. He's. came he comes in after the kickoff no problem uh you know so we're not really getting to know each other too much anyway but also i'm not going to ask him right off the bat unless it comes up naturally like black arm but yeah so how was it like being a minority and having nothing like to use your left arm for uh and so i don't know i mean but like i was like so how'd you get how do you go glide like you know

thinking maybe they know each other from church or they work together and they're like uh we're actually friends from high school oh really small town iowa yeah um and glide's like yeah he was our point guard and so naturally i was like okay pretty small school small town yeah exactly once again it was like so maybe this injury happened later or maybe it was just a small school and so they were able to play yeah anyway um i was like oh cool that's awesome uh or maybe he's just black so therefore he's like you got to make the tone of black you could start yeah um so then we go out uh at halftime gunner's grilling up some chicken there's a hot tub out there we're just kind of hanging out on the deck and uh there's a basketball court out in his

backyard little little half little half slap and uh we're shooting around and marcus of all people was like hey let's play some knockout we got two balls let's play some knockout i was like okay yeah sure man absolutely knockout it's a little chilly anyway i need to kind of warm up i need to move around knockouts fun if you guys don't know how to play knockout basically if the person behind you makes it you're before you make it you're out okay um and we go it's Nick first, then I'm right behind him, then old Marcus, right behind me. Nick shoots, he makes it. You got to be thinking you're a pretty prime position to win this game of knockout.

I'm thinking, yeah, we're going to be justified. It's like, it's not like an official, you know, first round buy, but, you know, like, it's a 16-1 seat. Like, it's not going to happen. And Nick makes it, passes it over to Marcus. And before, and I miss, my shot, I miss. Before I could even go down and, like, put the ball back in the hoop, that little man swishes. shot like it's nothing and I'm like okay I guess I'm out I guess Marcus beat me and then I start

watching him and the dude his release time for his catch to release time is quicker than anybody I've ever seen in my life it's it's borderline cheap code it was unbelievable like all of a sudden I felt bad for myself and so the game gets over you know and I'm back in I was like all right I'm just going to be honest I underestimated Marcus a little bit that first one. Let's go again. So I texted Glyde. I was like, hey, do you think it's okay to laugh a joke about how Marcus beat me in knockout? And Glyde says, most definitely, he calls himself the one-armed assassin when we go bowling. And then the next text he sent is he was actually a walk-on at Liberty University. And I just said, for bowling? I said, no, he wasn't. And he didn't

confirm or deny the Liberty University thing. On one hand, it's like, no, he wasn't. On the other hand, If it's going to be anywhere, it's going to be Liberty University. It's like, feel good story of the year, Liberty University's walk on. Yeah, wow. And I wonder, you know, what does that say about Liberty? What does I say about Marcus? How far right is he? Punch it!

That's perfect. Collie, theme music, go. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost from a spotting. That's one of those times. We're just improving up here.

What was the Hasidic Juice thing one time? Yeah, that was great. That was just like, we did it. It's over. That was so perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every once in a while, just is like, that's too good. oh what are you up to you sold a house or no no dude no and it's like it's been literally four

days so it's not that long but i'm getting antsy and it's it's like it's like testing my patience and probably my like emotional will a little bit like and i know it's like it's four days i went on market on Halloween like probably not the ideal time for like people to go tour a house a lot of people already had plans all these different things but i'm already like text and tape like should we should we just lower this thing like you know yeah it'd be hard not to 30% like I just I think I'm kind of emotionally not done with it but like emotionally I'm like okay I'm ready to move on to the next fund just somebody painting and just just do it just be cool you know and the longer you wait obviously the more you spend on your mortgage and so then the more

you need to sell the house for to break even and so it's like what what kind of game is this what do I do here. So I talked to Tate yesterday. He's like, you should have a 90 day plan. Like, this is like a real thing that happens with real estate is like, yeah, you just get emotional about it. And you're like, let's just, I don't know, let's just lower it right now. It's like, you should have a like, don't change anything until two weeks in or, you know, whatever. So, but we had probably seven or eight showings this weekend. And we had an open house that 22 different like groups of people came to. So it's like, there's like a good sign. There's interest. People are getting out of the home. Yeah. They're getting in their cars. They're going to

your home. They're going to my home. So there's just a matter of one person has to say yes. And that's all it takes. But, um, yeah, we'll see. It'd be, it ended up being way more expensive like the like all the costs than I wanted it to. So I am like, all of a sudden, I'm starting to like like do worst case scenario of like, right? Is there a good chance I lose money on this? Like, and I don't think so. But all of a sudden like, yeah, just all these doubts and creeps, doubts, all these creeps coming into my head. A bunch of creeps out of the 22 showings, four creeps. There's peeping Tom's everywhere around, like, there's looking inside the window.

A bunch of doubts creeping in of like, if I don't sell in November, how many people are going to move in December? Like, who's moving on December 12th, right? Like, you're not, unless you're desperately needing a house, you're not moving in before Christmas. I'll tell you who you need to go after, Target Market. Please. Parents of kids who are being.

bullied. Good. Because most kids, most families don't want to move in the middle of school year unless there's an issue at their school. And I'm like, why don't we move it semester? Okay. Because Tony's giving you some trouble. Right. It's always Tony. Tony. Yeah. We can move to, we can move to maybe Belender School District. Because that's the name of the street that's on and that's an elementary school here. It's actually not Blender Elementary. What is it? But yeah, it's Shymish Neast, whatever that is. Okay. Yeah, we can move over there. Um, what is it corn doesn't matter doesn't matter uh but now i'm going to be tripped up on that thanks a lot jay got to figure out where does tony go um so yeah i would try to find some sort of maybe rachel could

connect you with other counselors in the area who they could like violate some like you know client attorney privilege and um tell you who's being bullied well how about you don't like yeah how about you don't do that how about you just show me the bullies i'll just talk to the bullies direct i'll i'll amplify those bad boys i'll accelerate the learning on that like it's like Hey, come on. Let's go. Like, you're only making fun of this? Make fun of the doctor's kids. Dude, the physical, yeah, hurts, but the emotional hurts way more.

Yeah, I promise. They'll remember that more. Yeah, his dad's a patent attorney. Yeah, go after that kid. Come on. Come on. He's a surgeon? Oh, they can move.

They can move real quick. So, but yeah, I'm like, nobody's going to want to move in December. And then all of a sudden, who's going to move in January? No one's going to want to move in the snow. And then it's like February is not great. Oh, no. And so then I'm like, well, then we should just sell it for pennies on the dollar right now. Yeah, get the creeps out.

So if you're listening to this and you're using this as negotiation, how dare you? But otherwise, tell your friends. Tell your friends. Oh, no, it's exciting though. It's been, yeah, it's one of those things where it's just like, you got to sit and wait and just be patient. And it's like, oh, it'd be hard not to adjust things. I mean, it's one, 100th of the scale. But like, when a YouTube video you put a lot of work into initially doesn't perform,

like, well, I have the ability to adjust things, title, thumbnail. Whatever. Is that the issue? Or, you know, or maybe it'll work out fine. I just need to chill and distract myself for a couple days. And like, because I had told Tate, I was like, there was, there was some, there was a really promising conversation that we had with this girl. Her name was Lisa Leslie. I told you this. Yeah. Which Rachel didn't know Lisa Leslie, which I was surprised about. Yeah. We didn't expect Catherine to know. No. Because Rachel even kind of reacted like, oh. Yeah. Who is that? That's a nice sounding name. Like Lisa Leslie is one of the most popular women's basketball players of all time yeah anyway this other woman named Lisa Leslie

that's a real estate agent asked Tate on Friday night like hey we're going to go tour of the house Friday night I see you have a open house on Saturday how much would we need to offer Friday night for you to not for you to cancel that open house that's a great question to be asked all of a sudden my eyes were like huge I was like ah just just give us the asking is fine with me asking's good to get the creeps out I mean there's a number right there that we want it's in bold it's It's the biggest number. It's the biggest font on the page is the number we want. So we went, or she went on Friday and said they liked it, but they were going to check it out or think over the weekend on it. And I texted, Tate.

I was like, can you follow up with her. And he's like, you can, but it doesn't really work like that in real estate where you can't like convince somebody. Like where they got on it. It's like, yeah, smaller, smaller purchases. You know, you can, you can try to convince somebody like, hey, just checking in on this table if you're still interested. And it's like, I am interested. Oh, yeah, that's right. I got a little distracted.

Good customer service. yes yeah but like a home yeah I forgot I was home I forgot almost put an offer down on one oh geez thank you for reminding right yeah exactly it's like you either wanted or you don't yeah that's good point anyway it's out of your hands it's out of my hands and honestly that's been probably a big aspect of it's like it's out of my hands it's in the lord's hands and like I just am learning how to yeah just be patient and trust and prayerful and everything like that so we'll see but either way yeah things are good so God is good and Anyway, speaking to Tate, he's going to be joining us next week on the podcast.

Yeah. Not today, not Wednesday, but next week he'll join us because Tyman is gone. Timon's in Mississippi. RIP. Yeah, he's down. He's done. He's down below. He's six states under.

Yeah, I wonder how he's doing over there. You think he's going to come back just a different man? Like when you went to Ohio, it was like, I'm not worried about him turning into an Amish or like turning into some sort of person. But Mississippi, it's like. Mississippi? That's a different culture. man. His music's going to be a lot different. I'm glad we got one song out of him before I went to Mississippi. Yeah, he's going to be stomping holler it all over the place. It's just like, yeah,

Johnny Cash, God's going to, what's that? God's going to cut you down. You know that song? Zoom, zoom, zoom. Yeah, it's just going to be like that. Kind of a scary song. Kind of a scary song. I think time's going to come back, kind of a scary man. He's not going to shower much. Um, other things about Mississippi. Sweet hay. He's going to say hotty toddy. Yeah. I don't know. yeah i talked to me a little bit yesterday i guess i was like how was your first day like shooting a movie he's like pretty good you sent me a picture of it it looked exactly like the amish movie and i think they're messing with time and like yeah it's sci-fi we'll get to the sci-fi part later

so we're going to edit this guy's uh yeah what's what's an omish we're going to edit his sickle uh to make it uh to where it shoots out lasers okay cool you just shoot it normal we'll worry about the sci-fi and post trust us yeah It's going to be sick. That's funny. Yeah, the picture he sent me as a girl and just like a long, modest dress sitting on like a nice just front porch. Looks a lot like the Amish show he shot earlier. Well, that's probably like the pre, maybe that's like, you know, oh, they're going back in time.

Last time on. Yeah. 20 years ago. I'm excited for him. I hope it goes well. But yeah, Tate's coming on. I don't know how he's going to be. I don't think it's not, he's not like somebody that needs to be censored by any means.

But he is about as good as anybody I know. at like pretending to cuss but not cussing you know what i mean is really good at it too like what the is going on you know like he loves doing that you know what talk about yeah i can't wait yeah tate's so funny i told rachel i was like i think tate's going to be on the podcast next week and she's like oh the volleyball player i was like i always forget we shared a season together the only time i ever won volleyball tate was on her team he's a winner i have to bring that up he is a he's a state champion basketball player he's a winner and he is not aggressive the tipper. That's right, dude. Six inches above everyone else. Just tip in. Just tip into where

he wants to go. That's just how it works for him, I guess. It'll be fun. But yeah, uh, did you do anything for how, no, Halloween? We hung out together, I guess. We hung out for Halloween. Yeah. We had about 11 trick-or-treaters, but we had enough candy for about 460 to come by. So I had a little little bit looked at up. So that makes sense. You, you haven't learned yet. Yeah, Rachel one got a ton of candy. And when the night was over, she's like, man, we didn't have many trick-or-treaters tonight. And I just kind of kept it to myself that that was more than last year. Yeah. I was like, oh, that was like double what we had last year.

But how much of a, how much of a, like, there's such a fear of like, what have you run out of candy? Can't do that. You can't be that. You can't shut the lights off as a kids running up to your door. Exactly. End up giving them a microwave meal out of my fridge. Here you go. That's garlic green beans.

It's better than you think. Good ranchers. You're going to love it. No way antibiotics or added hormones. But Rachel had a good idea. She, I always say that I was born to be a camp counselor. I think Rachel may be even more than me. It was born to be a camp counselor.

She's like, all right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to have, like, normal candy when they first come up. And then what if we ask them a riddle? And then if they get the riddle right, then we give them a full-sized candy bar. It's like, that's any candy bar. Oh, yeah, it was feastables, Mr. Beast bars. And if you're saying out there, you're saying, I don't know what that is. It's because you're not a 10-year-old kid.

But 10-year-old kids will know what that is. They went ballistic. Really? All but one who goes, he was like the oldest one, too. He was like a 14-year-old. I'll get at Target and just walks away. and then as I'm saying the riddle

what do you have to break before you use it something like that your mom I was like get at go to Target dude go to Target go back to Kansas

to Kansas bro stop trick or treating in my neighborhood that's funny I asked you that question and you said wait what did you say you had a good answer

say what was the question what do you have to break before you use it I'm trying to remember I'm trying to remember what the actual answer is and what I said. I think I said silence. Is that the answer? Oh yeah. No, that was good. I think that's what I said. Yeah. But that was a good answer. I would have accepted that.

But do you have to use silence? Still fun. Breaking silence. Yeah. Breaking wind. Oh. One kid said glow stick gave him a candy bar for that. Not the right answer, but that's a great answer. That's actually better than even. Oh, I remember what the answer is. Egg. Yeah. Egg. A-G-G Yes Yes And I might even be saying The riddle wrong

So that's what makes it tough Is it's already a riddle And I'm like not totally saying it Operator error a little bit too What do you have to crack Before you break it Open it Just before you like scramble it

What do you have to break Before you Before you fry it up Over Easy's And he said Yes I might have been getting that a little wrong Did anybody get the egg? Yeah I mean

We were giving them hints You know After two seconds it's in the kitchen fork no you know what was the last time you broke a fork just curious oh you're friendly has plastic forks oh let's give you some extra candy actually let's give you some money yeah let's just go ahead and go cash i think that's a good lesson to learn the kid the 14 year old it's like i just get a target like just if you're a kid out there and you're listening to this and you think like this is too cool for me or i'm too cool for this thing just just just

Stop thinking that out loud. Just be cool and just play along anyway. I promise that's that makes you more fun for the rest of your life. Yeah. Because you're all you're going to always have those feelings like at times. You know, like you're just going to think as you start to age out of things. Okay. I don't want to do this or like sometimes even my dad will do like he'll be like,

all right, let's do a silly picture now. I'm like, dad, we don't need to do a silly picture. But I'm like, hey, let's do a silly picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know what? It's great. It's fine. The one thing you're allowed to put your foot down on is six, seven jokes.

If your friend group is still throwing those out there, you're allowed to kind of take a stand on that. That's the one thing. And otherwise, no. Any other thing. Take the candy, do the riddle, take the silly picture. Yeah. I think so. I think it's just like there's something about it.

It's just you're more fun that way. People like you more. Like, yeah. Rather than like, I can get at Target. Yeah, of course you can. You can get online too, Bucco. But like the whole point is that's free from me right now. Right now.

Exercise your brain. for four seconds his loss i uh the six seven joke of mine we started a group chat with our sponsored friday players which are primarily teenagers and dude it's something else i i would like to think i've got a pretty high tolerance for just like quantity like notifications like i can handle yeah whatever yeah this is a lot really this is a lot of just they don't they don't quit they don't stop they like will i mean I've never really been in a group text like this. Like I've worked with a lot of kids, but it was like, I'm never like texting him like this. And I feel like the relationship was different.

This is just like bombardment. Really? How many. Constantly. How many people? How many kids are in there, you think? Oh, probably like nine. Okay.

But it's enough. Yeah. And one of them just won't stop with the six, seven. And then I had to, then I was like, I don't really know this kid. This is a guy that Isaac kind of recruited. You know, we kind of all have hours that we brought into this. Yeah. So you can really know this guy.

Isaac at this point. But then I had to have. eventually, I mean, I was just like making fun of him publicly. I was like, this should shut it down, right? I was like putting in quotes, hey, Siri, how do I get Julian to stop making six, seven jokes? And he's like, you're still using Siri? Dude, I do get made fun of it's been two days. I've made fun of a lot. Gifts. Oh, gifts are out. I guess are kind of a boomer thing. But it's not just like I'm responding to me with a gift. It's like they're captioned. They're like memes almost. I'm trying to be the one

comedian in this group chat. No, they don't like that. Like, Jake, with the gifts. Dude, just say six, seven. It makes no sense, but just trust us, bro. There's a few of us who are older. Obviously, me, Scott, one of our other sign. But anyone that, like, 17 or older, they just refer to as unk. Yeah.

We're all unc. Really? Yeah. Oh, I'm kind of funny. I mean, they just, like, it's a whole new diction. Isaac and I do our best to, like, somewhat keep up. Scott is just, like, fully admitting. Like, I don't understand you guys.

I don't know what's going on. I'm like, Scott, what's not clocking to you right now? I'm like trying to be. And then in like the hidden text, we're like, I do it right. Scott was like last night texting like, hey, I'm with some dance moms right now. What's some, what's some lingo I can use? So we are all learning a lot. Okay.

But it's exhausting. I mean, that's a good thing, though. Like that shows that they like each other. And that's like you guys if they're all comfortable enough to text a bunch. You know, like. Yeah, no. It is totally a net positive. I mean, we were even like texting separately.

they were like, Selkirk doesn't have group chat like this. No, Carmen's ambassador group chat isn't like this. Like they are, they, they love us and we're having a good time together. Yeah.

We're joking around. Like I don't think every single Gen Z in every single group chat is like popping off. Like just popping off. Is that okay to say? Is that two, 2018? Dude, we're so,

we are millennials. And that's fine. Like, yeah. I think we're turning into like, like the millennials are the new like, hey, we're making fun of you. We're not making fun of boomers.

Like, yeah, it's us. Yeah. It's, it's, it's gifts. and the way we take pictures and the way we caption things and yeah,

I've seen it all over the place now. Which is the way you like work towards trying to find humor like you're saying. I put a little effort into it. You're trying to be original. I'm using LOL like, dude, come on.

I told you, I don't think this is on the podcast. I think it was just when we were hanging out. But like on the jumbo tron like, you know, back in the day, the kids were always dabbing. Yeah.

And dab, dab was around forever. And now all of a sudden you see a kid on a jumbo tron just doing the up and down hands. So I'm like, that's all that's all you're going to do you have you have I've never been on the jumbo try and I don't think in my entire life if I have it's like a group of people and I'm like my arms over in the side it's kind of it's kind of it and if you're saying like you have one chance of

being on this thing and you just put your hands up like this you don't know what you're what you're missing out on brother all right Jake big announcement we've been teasing it for a few weeks now it's time to stop the tease it's officially time um there are 52 days until January 1st oh that gives me an idea what 50k in 50 days that was an idea you just came up with well it's 52 days left so we should do it yes yes that makes sense 50k and 50 days and we're out day 52 right now of those 50 days these next couple days kind of gravy yeah like if we're good now we're good forever yeah what if we do 50k in two days is that too ambitious do you think 2k

2K oh we're talking basketball the video game yeah yeah 2K in two days two days and then yeah 50k and 50s and then we'll have an extra $2,000 yeah that sounds great to whatever we want to do okay okay either way uh we are sponsored by healing waters but we are uh their their uh sponsorship is going towards fundraising for um their ministry for specifically for Haiti uh if you guys don't know uh Obviously, Healing Waters is a ministry that provides sustainable water solutions to third world countries. Last year, we kind of, we had this goal of raising $10,000 and y'all helped us raise $14,000. Yeah. For was it Tiapas, a village in Mexico.

Yep. And now we're switching gears to Haiti and have like very specific plans and initiatives of what we want to do alongside Healing Waters down there, which is really. kind of relocating some people and some workers from Port-au-Prince Haiti, which is like in a tough spot right now to a more northern region of the country. Yeah. So if you go to give.healingwaters.org

slash ghosties 2025. It'll be a link down below. We're, we're, we're, what, and 50K? And that sounds crazy. And I'll be honest, it probably is too crazy. So we found somebody out there, let's be honest, Healing Waters found somebody out there who said, hey, if you guys donate 25,

I'll cover the other 25. So they're willing to match up to $25,000 of our donations for this thing. So if we can bring $25,000 to the table. $25,000 in 52 days. Yeah. But that's, that's, I mean, that just rolls off the tongue. Right? So it's 50, 50, 25K and 52 day.

That's not bad. That still sounds pretty good. Kind of be a palindrome aspect to it. Yeah. Or else there was just 50K and 50 days. So I'm not, I'm not a math major. But if each of you donate. No, no, sorry.

If one of you donates $25,000, we hit our goal. We should be there. We're good. If 25 of you donate a million dollars, we will surpass it. Yeah. Yeah. We'll be able to do a lot. I can't really think of anything beyond that.

What about if every single person donates $5? Every single person listening? In the world. Oh, in the world? Yeah, that should get us there. What about just like, hey, let's just say you have a lot of pull in Rhode Island. And you just say, hey, Rhode Islanders, let's all give $10 to this thing. Do you think we'd get there that way?

That would do it. What if you just work as a principal at a school and you just want to make people feel uncomfortable like under you? So you say, hey, you got to donate to this thing or else I'm mad at you. You make each of your faculty donate $50. Do you think that would do it? Not quite, but it would definitely get us close. Maybe if you're a superintendent of a school district, it's big enough.

Big district. I have the parents do it. Okay. And I see those hands. And some of you out there are saying, yeah, giving things. Great. What's in it for me? Kind of a selfish attitude, but we, but we were looking to cater to you. But we will incentivize you anyway. Yeah, no, we want to, uh, we're going to have a few different, um, gifts for people who donate a few different milestone gifts. We'll tell you more

So once again, I mean, Healing Waters is doing wonderful things through their ministry

all over the world, but specifically we are targeting Haiti right now. You know, and yeah, this Hurricane Melissa's, yeah, just has had devastating aftermath, devastating, you know, issues for them. And so, yeah, we're working through that alongside of them. So we want to raise it once again, give.healingwaters.org slash ghosties 2025. And kind of fun. They're partnering with Main Street Roasters or should I say Main Street Roasters partnering with them. Yeah, maybe it's a nice guys. It's a double sponsorship right here.

Dubley. Yeah, we love coffee. We love Main Street Roasters. Maintier Roasters loves giving back. They love fundraising. And so they've decided if you go to their link, let me double check exactly what the link is here. Also put this one down in the description if you like to click.

For sure. Yeah. Maintree Roasters.com slash S slash Healing Waters. Okay. Main Street rosters. Gosh, damn. Mainstreetroasters.com slash S slash healing waters. They will give 10% of every single thing purchased to this fundraiser.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's just say, if you're not good at math, let's just say you get $10,000 worth of coffee. Yeah. $1,000 of that would go towards this fundraiser. If you bought $250,000 worth from Main Street Roasters, 25 million would go. 25 million.

Oh, we would reach our goal. Yeah. It just takes one person to buy a quarter of a million dollars with a coffee using this link you have to use this link though please use the link oh it would be a bummer if you didn't use the link and then 20 and then major oysters donates 25 grand healing waters and then they match it and then Haiti gets $50,000 that's awesome that's all it takes 25k in 52 days 50k in 50k and 50 days quarter million dollars and one purchase or a million dollars will make us all holler is all it has to arrive give dot healing waters dot org slash ghosty 2025

Mainstreetroasters.com slash S slash healing waters. Check them out. I, uh, two weeks ago in Vegas, I got it. I'm sitting on like the championship quarter or whatever. And I guess coming out of a commercial break, they just kind of showed the audience. So I guess on whether it was ESPN Plus or Pickleball TV, maybe it was ESPN too. I don't know. Either way.

So people text to me like, hey, oh, Michaela Stiles texted me. I was like, didn't know you were checking on a pro pickleball. She's like, really into pickleball. You were just on TV. And I'm sitting by myself. because Isaac's off talking to some, you know, American Gladiator, Victoria's Secret Angel at the moment. And so I just kind of like...

Blue or not both the same person. I just kind of text or show the people behind me. I mean, just complete strangers like, hey, I don't know if you're getting texts, but we were just on TV. And then they lost their mind. What? Just now when?

When is it still on? I was like, I'm glad I told them. Holy cow. I met the world to them. It is like so exciting to be on TV. It was. If you're over the age of 29, if you're, if you're 30 year higher, it is excited to be on TV. Like, I'm on TV.

I remember one time, King Griffey Jr. hit a home run at a Royals game that I was at, at which I was attending. Better? And he hit it into the right field area that I was, I was in the area of like the 4,000 people in that area. Yeah, but it's like, that's my section. I paused that thing. And I was like, that's me, dude. I'm pretty sure.

That's me right there. And I was so pumped about it. It was like, I know, can Griffey Jr.'s home run? It's going to be on SportsCenter. We've got to make sure we see that. That is fun. Like a big moment happened in my section. We'll show you down a replay, right?

Yes. Shouldn't I be there? It was so electric. Yeah. It's fun. Back to Halloween night, though. Fun night. You guys carve some pumpkins.

We carved pump. Yeah, we did a little homeschool Halloween style. We went to a little trunk or treat beforehand at this church down the road that Catherine knows some of our friends attend there and it was great uh pretty chill honestly like kind of just like got there and just talked to some people i'd never talked to before and because i'd never talked to them like never met them before we had so much to talk about yeah that's great and so i didn't even really watch my kids like they they were just kind of just having fun doing their thing um but something that have you heard about bubble bubble guys like bubble mid i don't know

the bubble man i don't know it's like this new it's like the new kids attraction out there there like uh i'm trying to think of what other things have been like it but like got milk it's kind of like got milk um no what other like things would you like you like you hire like a red ribbon week dude i loved red ribbon week i apparently it's got a new name uh rachel's tell me it's now called it's referred to as kindness week commander's ribbon week uh the football team week kindness week i think so yeah same idea uh sorry quick quick side story Red Ribbon Week, I think, was back when we would do, we would all release a balloon into the air.

Good. And Red balloon week. The idea, it was kind of crazy, dude. Some of these balloons, like, if it had like a tag on it, it was like, if you find this balloon, please call us and let us know. If you've done drugs or tobacco. Please let us know if this helped you in your addiction. And there were people in Florida that called and be like, hey, I actually started a

pickleball company because of this balloon, I'm off drugs now. No. But like, people would call and be like, yeah, from Nova Scotia Canada. I'm like, no way. That's pretty fun, actually. And so me and my friends, I think it was my idea. I thought, we're geniuses. We'll all pool our balloons together and it'll go to Scotland. Sarah? Yeah. And I think it went like two streets over and somebody found it. So dude, I think I've definitely told the story for her, but one of my friends in college, Bethany, she would write, remember she found a turtle. She'd ride on it. Oh yeah. And just kind of

send it back on its way, but it's like, text me. Yeah. When you find this. And sometimes you're like, whoa, you got to Springfield from Bolivar? That's crazy. Yeah, truly. It's probably bad for the show. Probably not.

I mean, yeah, the, use like, you use like regular Sharpie, not like, like, not like the metallic kind or anything like that. Yeah, nothing like, yeah. Anyway, bubble guy. Kind of like, um, balloon animal. Like you hire a balloon animal person or like a face paint person. Okay, okay. You hire a bubble guy.

this guy I've heard about I've heard legends of these bubble guys worth the hype dude lived up to the hype basically just made massive bubbles like just had all these different contraptions and stuff had like this old like Jeep grand Cherokee

car like just beat up car with like a speaker like blasting fun music oh I see what we're talking about now I just googled it have you ever seen one of those guys before no those are big bubbles huge bubbles like when they break of a car

when they break it like yeah you feel like it's raining or something like it's crazy and there's all sorts of different kinds like there's like this one that just looks like a smoke monster going through like on the like on the ground or like all you know this guy's got a kid inside of his bubble is he doing anything like that i didn't see that once again wasn't paying that much attention but every time i looked over the kids were loving this bubble guy no this is cool because if you're like me you're out there imagining like tiny little bubble bubbles that you just blow this is like one giant like almost like iridescent like crazy looking rainbow colored bubble that's the thing he had so many different like wands and everything so like sometimes it was like massive sometimes it was

like yeah long and skinny i mean just you name it it was it was kind of awesome like do me yeah perfectly your face please uh and so i look over and beau's loving it he's running all over like because you try to catch the bubbles as they go away whatever dude i'm looking at some of these contraptions this guy's like blowing into a sippy cup with a straw poking out of it he's got another wand like i don't know if i saw this is this kind of stuff your guy like he had like contraptions no i mean my guy had like these like massive imagine like two broomsticks that have all these like ropes connected to him and he's like dipping it in this massive almost like kitty pool of bubbles seen some of those pictures bringing it and just swinging it around he's the myestro kind of

doing it to music like party in the USA so i put my hands up playing my song but if i fly away You can call him the bubble maestro. That's a fun name. And he's got there and directs Miley Cyrus. Anyway, it was, it was cool. I really enjoyed it. Bubble guy. So yeah, the kids love that.

And then this was foreshadowing for the next day. But Henry was really content just like very quietly, but very like confidently, just like walking around by himself. Okay. Just like, here he goes. Like, oh, I guess he's just kind of enjoying this. And, you know, we kind of look at different things and like put, put his hand in the, candy area like for different stations and like not take anything whatever um so that was kind of fun

i was like look at him he's the fourth child like he's so independent he's so good trailblazer um and yeah then we went home and uh yeah just did pumpkins uh chili we always eat chili cather makes some good chili dude um not every day is a good chili day but when it's a good chili day it's like yes there's something special about soup and chili when it's the right time rachel has figured out white chicken chili and that is very tasty oh so good dude yeah yes um and then yeah we were originally going to have uh hot apple cider and watch charlie brown but it was late so we said never mind go to bed we'll do it tomorrow uh and yeah then you guys came over and played a little hearts and hung out just fun yeah we had one pretty fun moment in hearts

I know we've, you know, probably a month or so ago, we talked about hearts and how it works, but, you know, basically every man for himself, once someone gets to a certain high score, the game's over. So it's like, once someone loses really badly, then you elect a winner. And I'm just getting, I mean, I'm doing terrible. I'm taking so many points, so many cards, last place the whole time.

And it's like looking like this is about over for me. And I'm about to have to take the worst card. And it's maybe got to put me over the edge. And Rachel's like, oh, if you take this, the game's over right and I think you know Brad are kind of like yeah probably she's like oh I want to keep playing so I'll take it

I'm like oh no you don't have to do that no that's you're being nice that's okay I'm not trying to like overdo it because in my hand there's a thing like yes you don't want to take any of the cards unless you take all the cards and then everyone gets 26 points it's so fun Brad had already done it that night

that was my turn and so yeah I have like hatching this crazy plan. It's like so easily going to work out. I'm not even stressed about it until Rachel decides like, oh, that wouldn't be fair. Let me take it as queen of diamonds, queen of spades for you. I was like, oh, I'll follow. No, I don't even think it was the queen of spades. I think it was just a heart. I think you still got like 23 points or something like that. Yeah, I got everything else. Yeah. It's so you're right. Okay. And then you just showed her your hand afterwards like, well, I wish you wouldn't have done that for me. Yeah. Look, I'm not.

with face cards that was pretty funny yeah she tried to be nice she was nice she fell on your sword but unfortunately not not the best but that was too bad though yeah yeah fun times good good weekend uh yeah like we watched a lot of tv we knocked out a puzzle yeah how was the date black and white date yeah yeah we um when it had sushi at a place called raw yeah just reminds me of Prince of Egypt. Is Rother? Power of Rath. It's down at Park Place.

Okay. Okay. I don't really go in Park Place that much, but I know what's nice. Yeah. I like Park. They got a Mother Clucker down there. I'm like, what are you doing here? Yeah.

Because I looked into releasing a spotter park place for Bondi. I know how much it costs to be here. Wait, wait. Mother Clucker. Park place is like town center is. Yes, yes, yes. But like on the other, like the nicer area. Yeah, it's like almost nicer.

Yeah. Yeah. Really nice area of Kent City. Bamboo pennies, dude. that's what we talked about that yeah yeah yeah yes is good anyway and so it's like oh this it's gonna be like pretty fancy you know nice little date we're wearing our black and white outfits we go in there to get our sushi and this place I think it was called raw I mean the playlist was like I don't know 2 a.m. Vegas nightclub playlist I mean when you walk in and it was

chain smokers and then you get to our seat and then the next like 15 songs are just like Rihanna club mixes or you know it's like a pop song you've heard bass boosted club mix Okay. Yeah. It was very different than the vibe walking in. It was like, oh, string lights and violins and nice older people and trench coats and it's fall. And you're like, now I understand how motherfuckers. Where have you been all my life, right, right, right, blah, blah. And you're like, oh, man, this is like we got to hurry and eat. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me that much. I feel like the, yeah, sushi is like kind of a little like, yeah, cool, vibey, clubby. Yeah. Everything was like, it's very dark and the only light that is in there is red. It's like a bright red. It's like a bright red. okay the back of the menu i don't know if this is actually related or not but it's like they're only in so a few different cities it's like new york l-a miami and like oh yeah this is probably better there okay i'm scared here right in kansas this is not viving with me but miami this is probably perfect sure yeah what'd you think of the sushi did you have anything uh turns out it was kind of a hibachi place so i kind of got out of the sushi yeah chicken so i had some chicken and noodles

that sounds good too it was fine i'm don't need to go back to raw i think most sushi places do have those kind of things. So, FYI. That's good to know. I'm not saying like that's, like I'm trying to think of any of them that I've been to. I'm not a sushi kind of sewer. But they're like only sushi. Kind of sure. But yeah, I think most of them will have

like almost like a, what you think of as like Japanese or Chinese like food as well. So. Yeah, it was fine. It was a good time. One of those where we get done. We're sitting pretty close to other people. And as we're walking away, Rachel's like,

Can you believe that conversation next to us? I was like, had no idea. I've been listening to, you know, Charlie Puth dubstep remix. How did you hear this other conversation? So she filled me on on what they were talking about. I don't know if she would listen to me all night, but she heard them. Really? Heard what they were going through.

And you, is that like you never listened to the person next to you or that specific, like, you were just distracted by the music? I feel like, I think women are just good at listening in like that. Yeah. Good. I kind of like it, too. Yeah. I'm not going to lie.

I didn't have my transparency mode. on, I guess. Yeah. Oh, man, you know what I don't love is when things are sticky. Sticky situations. Sticky, uh, sticky, Sticky hands. Sticky bandits.

Twigs. Uh, it's like, come on, you can't even barely light those on fire. I can't, yep, exactly. Do you like anything that is sticky? I like gospel and glue. Why? Because it sticks to you. Uh, yeah, because it.

It will stick. to your brain. It'll stick to your heart. It'll stick to your soul. It's not going to stick to your fingers. It's kind of amazing what does stick with kids and how how moldable they are. I mean, you can, you can mold those heads into anything you want when they're a baby. They're like non-sticky clay. Yeah. Yeah. Very sticky. We are sponsored by gospel and glue today. It is a biblical teaching that sticks. From ghosties. Yeah. Made by ghosties. Ghosties owned and operated. Yeah. This is something that I think a lot of kids are really going to be attracted to just because it is so hands-on and it's just like it's something different and they make it easy for you everything's

like pre-cut pre-you know assembled yeah to an extent you know planning and prep and like yeah there's the stress of I watch Catherine honestly dude she is she's awesome Catherine's works so hard for homeschooling she's laminating things all the time she's working on you know whiteboard stuff and all this stuff. And I'm like, like, she works so hard. So to have something like this that's just ready and like available to help with this discipleship of our kids is such a blessing. So yeah, they're just mess-free DIY craft kits with devotionals that go come straight to your door from gospel and glue.com. And truly, yeah, it's just a, it's just great. It's, it's so nice to have. So you just, you get your box, you share the gospel truth and you create together.

it's that simple I don't know if you haven't gotten one of these for it's Christmas season it's time to shop for presents if you haven't gotten one of these subscriptions yet for your child for your grandchild

I don't know what you're doing because go ahead I just we have can I use the word can I use this word we have so much crap in our house we have so much crap it's just we have four

remote control cars and the batteries don't work or like I don't know where the remote is like but but yeah like this is something that is a just right there at our fingertips, B, it is not something that's crap.

C, it is somewhat disposable at times. So it's like you use it and then you can either keep it or get rid of it. Display it's not, it's just not, it's just not going to like pile up like all these other random things, do your house. So it's low on the crap scale. It's, yeah, on the crafter scale, it's pretty low. So gospel and glue.com, our promo code GRKC gets you a discount of some sort. 40% off.

Thank you. Pretty freaking some sort. That's not crap right there. Yeah, crafter scale. Gospel and glue.com, check them out. Check them out. But then we went to Barnes & Noble. It was close by.

Dude, they got a good smell going on there. It smells unbelievable to Barnes & Noble. There's certain spots that just have like their own like token smell. I think Coles. I've always liked Coles. It brings you back. It's like how do they do this? I know.

Even like, obviously like Home Depot and Lowe's have their own smell. It's like a little wood base. but even more like an Ace Hardware, like just a hardware store. Like those have a smell that I really enjoy too. Yeah, Ace Hardware is almost like fertilizer-ish. It's like it's like more fertilized. Like honestly, if somebody knows out there, how do they get them to smell like this? Yeah.

Like is it just like books just smell a little bit. And so therefore if you have thousands of them. Rachel and I had this exact conversation. I said, how do we get our home to smell like this? She said, get 2,000 books. I was like, is that what it is? Is it just the paper? The paper with the Starbucks in the corner?

because it's a pretty perfect combo. 5,000 books and one coffee shop. That's a great mesh of smells. We could do that, though. We could do that. My house is 1,500 square feet. Mine's a book per square foot. Easy.

You start stacking. They stack. FYI, they stack. Yeah, you're in New York City. Yeah. You stack. You go higher. Go high.

So the smell was great. Yeah, we like picked out a book for each other. Got some decaf coffee. Okay. Mager's South, and we're like, we decided, we're like, let's read a chapter of each other's book before we, like, buy these and leave. And, uh, glad we went through a little trial run. The book she picked out for me, not great. And then she went and looked it up and she's like, oh, yeah, some of these reviews are terrible. Let me go get you a new book. So now I got a new one. We're good now. What made it so bad? so rachel was trying to look up on goodreads like what people had said about it because you know there's a social networking component's goodread she could see what her friends thought about the book okay and so she's even telling me that like morgan call i'll give it four stars and i kind of trust

morgan with books you know so it's only give it three yeah and then as she was looking at the reviews i guess she read one that was accidentally a spoiler and she's like and because our plan was like we're gonna read the book and then swap and she's like so i kind of spoiled it and the spoil the is something that we don't really like anyway the spoiler is like I hate books that have an untrustworthy narrator and so I was like you know what this is good I'm glad we learned it give me a new book see yeah fetch me a new book yes uh so that was fun and then we came back home and watched remember the Titans and I for it okay a couple of takeaways from this one we quote this way more than I realized yeah like once I watched it back I was like oh there's

so many little quotes in here that I didn't realize remember the Titans like what do you remember any of them I should have wrote them down or just things I even think sometimes. Maybe it'll come to mind. But at the same time, like, I don't think I've seen this movie in 20 years. So how much did I watch this from the time I was 10 to 16? I probably watched 10 times.

Yeah. In six years. Also, it's just like, I feel like those years, we remember so much better, like, the things we've consumed. Yeah, because we didn't consume as much. Yeah. Like, it's kind of crazy how much Hattie and Bo like remember from the things. I memorize books and audio books and movies versus like we consume so many videos every single day

that it's just like we can't like continue memorize it no unless we watch it 15 times you know yeah so it was fun it was like to see a movie you you're so familiar with and like can weirdly like quote all of it but it's like I also haven't seen this as an adult and like certain things stand out more certain things are more emotional for sure than like before it's such a good movie yeah what do you remember so good like do you do you remember anything that you noticed for the first time or like like oh i didn't realize that was like that or they really i didn't i didn't understand that just the racial tension i feel like you just don't you don't have a good scope of that when you're 12 or you've lived in sapa's missouri your whole life you know you have no scope no

perspective on like what was actually going on and the fact this is a true story and right what was the part i forget exactly like i always laugh at after the part where like basically that like that white bully kid like gets on to Gary like he fights with I think one of the way maybe PD or something at one point but like then he like says something to Gary and it's like it's such a poorly delivered line in my opinion I can't remember what there are few in there he's like he's phone with you have phone with the raccoon or something like it was like it was like how many times do you guys try that before you're just like that's that's fine that's good enough it's not going to be that's good enough rain

I learned the movie. Yeah. Producer's son was like, yeah, I want a part of this movie. The part that I remember being cheesy is a high score, which still is a little cheesy now,

because it is like, it, I'd be like, they love some meat on the bone. It's kind of a crescendo moment. The music's swelling. It's where Gary goes to the sideline and just points at the other coach.

He doesn't say anything. That was kind of a, he like runs all the way over, gets pretty close to him and just points. Honestly, though, I'd be intimidated. Wait, what are you about to do?

Wait, is that it? Hey, is that it or is there more? Oh, I didn't like that. That's a power move. He knows how to, he knows how to, like, get under their skin without getting a penalty. You know what I just thought of? Maybe there was some, like a metaphor in there.

The point is ultimately what got him in that car accident. I never thought about that. Wait, what are you? Remember he's, you, Gary? You! He's like pointing. Oh, wow. When he gets in the accident.

That shows don't point. Don't be a player. He just don't point. Uh-uh. I remember his kid being told not to point. didn't like it I was enjoying pointing I was pointing at people different races than me I was pointing at people different than me yeah and I was told not to do that you didn't understand it well I got to show Caitlin yeah look how squinty their eyes are you're not gonna

believe this Caitlin yeah they eat their fish raw I can't believe it yeah I didn't like being told not to point I'm okay with it now yeah but back then when I was four come on let me point she's not going to see it she's not going to know which direction to look that's a great point yeah i actually do remember i was in um oh what's it called cezies i was in cecy's pizza take hey stop stop stop point at them yeah we have to say don't stare everyone's well hey don't stare and gather around to say it to me sometimes too i'm like sorry sorry sorry sorry you beat me a knockout sorry it's like kind of unbelievable how good he was the release time was insane yeah Remember the Titans was great.

Caleb Sullivan texts me about that actually. He was like, dude, we watch it this Saturday too. Yeah, you should watch it again. You've probably seen it more recently than I have, but man, it's good. I feel like I watched it kind of recently, but yeah, it's never a bad idea. And I feel like it came out around this time, like October, November. So like, yeah, maybe September. I remember going to see it for my friend Alex's birthday party.

And like, I remember thinking this was the best thing I've ever seen. And like as a kid, it was like, let's just all go play. in the backyard, play Remember the Titans. Like, yeah, man. It made me want to be alignment so much more. I was like, yeah, that looks- They kind of glorified Lou Elastic a little bit. Yeah.

Or even, yeah, just Gary and Julius. Like, yeah. Oh, so good, dude. I, like, wanted to find a black friend at that point. I was like, that's my brother. Like, all these white guys are like, get out of my life. Look how much better the team would be. We would be so much better.

Which kind of does make sense that they won state. Yeah. They got to bring all these athletes in. That's amazing. That's awesome. Yeah, there's a lot of it. I mean, seeing how big Lou Elastic was, I don't think I realized that as a kid. It's like, dude, that's like, he's a big boy. Really, really big. But now he's like shredded, which is pretty cool. It is crazy. I was showing Rachel. It's like, look at this guy now. It's like, unrecognizable.

Yeah, you wouldn't even know who it is. What else? Rachel was really invested. She was obsessed with, because I told her, I was like, oh, yeah, I had a massive crush on Hayden Panette here because of this movie. And so she got really into that storyline. She's like, all right, how old was she? You know, this movie, how old were you when this came out? And I was like, I think we were both. you know, we're looking it up. We would have both been 10. Oh, of course you were obsessed with her. And then as the movie goes on and this girl's just like, doesn't want to paint her nails and is obsessed with sports. She's like, of course you're obsessed with this girl.

You know, just like everything about it. It's fun to relive that. Yeah, that's funny. I remember like that, like she was about our age. And I remember Hermione Granger was about our age. Like in real life, like Emma Watson, I think is probably around the same age as us. So I remember like a lot of my friends were like, Emma Watson. like she's like getable

okay sure she is whereas like you know whoever Carmen Electra she's too old we couldn't really get her we wouldn't be able to connect as well Pam Anderson like no that's not gonna happen but Hermione Granger there's a chance but Emma Watson or like

Hillary Duff yeah I could see it Hillary Duff Scott loved Hillary Duff gosh he was obsessed with her Lizzie McGuire yeah and had Rachel seen it before though yeah yeah i think so but just yeah not as fresh she had no lisa leslie so i was like maybe she doesn't

know sports like didn't do sports you know sometimes the athletes don't really consume sports they just bring the sports themselves i'm just here to play so yeah fun night fun times that's fun i did a little uh day day was fun on saturday uh we did we did what's called the drive-in movie i was trying to brand everything we do yeah i'm like that just helps that's what this is called uh drive-in movie in other words, we stayed in our pajamas, went to Chick-fil-A, got food in the drive-thru and just watched a movie in the van while I drove around. Oh. I just drove around.

Great. And there was in the back seat. There was in the back seat eaten and watching the movie. How long was a movie? This one that we watched was only like an hour, so it wasn't terrible. Good enough driving. Yeah, I also like told Catherine, I'd go to McLean's and get her some coffee, so like that was part of it too.

So I went to Chick-fil-A, got our food, and then went to McLean, so it wasn't terrible. It wasn't terrible amount of driving, but it was fun. Nothing crazy there. But then went to the library after that. Libraries are doing it right, dude. Like, libraries are fun these days. They got some good stuff. And I think they really like going to the library with me

because every time they asked to get anything, I just said, yeah. We came back and got them and was like, whoa, you got like 24 books. And I was like, why not? One per square foot. If they don't read them, who cares? We'll bring them back. We'll take them back. We're going here often.

I found a bunch of authors. I was an Arthur guy as a kid So I was like I want my kids to read Arthur So I just got like four of those for him Some Bear and Steen Bears I forgot those were books I know they were though Because I was really invested in the show

Yeah So got some Arthur got some Barrenstein Bears Got some you know magic tree house I know yeah magic tree house guy Really good And then I found like the sports section Like the nonfiction sports section And they still make books like we made

Or we read as kids Where it was like Sports Illustrated for kids Like rising stars of 2024. Oh, okay. That's nice. I was like, we got to get this. And I don't know if we've read at all yet, but at least they have them, you know. I wish I could remember the exact. Did you ever read books? Like, I feel like our high school library had books. There were like somewhat just biographical. Like I remember just reading a book about Emmett Smith. I mean, it was probably

like 90 pages, but it was like, here's his career laid out. Yeah. It was a quick, easy read and I got a nice refresher on Emmett Smith. Yes. There was a, there was a ton of those kind of books. Yes. I forget what they were called. There was one for like each. football teeth like the history of the blank yeah and like obviously the chief's one was like all tattered and worn because people rented that one a lot but like yeah there was a ton of them or yeah just like I don't know Alan Iverson yes yeah just read about someone his career and yeah Rachel's listening to this pregg on those are such boy books yeah they're awesome it's awesome yeah all right Brad 60 seconds are on the clock start now oh

San Rafael, California. See what about a house? I don't. Hello, this is Brad. Hi, how are you? I'm doing well. Wonderful. I'm convinced that you were able to price something out in the portal.

I didn't know if you had any questions or even if the property that you were looking at was a So I think this is AI. So I'm going to ask a kind of a hard question. I don't know if I have any like, you know, question. I mean, the LTV, what, how does that work? Is that too vague? Yeah, so we can go up to 90% of the purchase price. if the load amount plus the rehab is under 75% of the after repair value.

But let me take a look at what you priced out here. Okay, so it is for a fixed and flip. So yeah, we can go up to 90% of the purchase price. Okay, is there any chance that you could do 100 if it's, you know, the right scenario? So we do have an avenue to 100, but it does take, you have to be pro. to be pro, which is three exits in 24 months. And then you also have to have five paid and full loans with us in like a 12-month period. Cool.

Okay. Well, I don't have too many more questions right now. My friend thinks that you're AI. You're not AI, are you? I'm not. Maybe I need to switch on my cadence a little bit. Maybe. Good job.

Good job. You're doing great. Okay. it's too great apparently my goodness all right i appreciate haley thank you we'll talk to you soon talk to you later okay all right sounds like a plan right bye for now i still i'm still not 100% no i don't think so i there are some of these places they're getting good though i mean even the chat gpti thing like i talked to it a decent amount and like um let me get back to you on that and it kind of laughs like like like

yeah so you know it's like too real i uh i had someone come to look at my furnace last week and the call to set it up um was one of those like doing a pretty good job but i'm sure this is a i and then yeah i got a yeah all this i think i hinted to this last week like i'm trying to do the right thing by like getting my furnace checked out i'm trying to do preventative measures i'm trying to you know look after stuff have people delegate jobs this house so i could be more productive but I'm done with it it's it's so taxing to like so many like follow up phone calls all right Jake and you're still good for the appointment tomorrow they're going to come by between noon and four yes that's great I yeah we know we already confirmed this well yesterday that was our

AI assistant I knew I knew it I knew it call me the day of all right he should be on his way sometime in the next few hours okay great just text me like when he's on his way you know so it's a lot of it's good communication but it's a lot and then when the guy gets here so i didn't want to exaggerate on the podcast so i double checked with my ring doorbell to see when he arrived and when he left he arrived like at 302 p.m and he left at 505 whoa it was almost exactly two hours and this was just to check on my furnace this guy just like some maintenance on it talked no he and no oh he just talked to you forever just talked to me like crazy oh about furnace stuff or about? Yeah, mainly about furnace stuff. I mean, he, I don't know. It was, it was odd. He was in

my house a lot. Smelt like cigarettes. It was one time where he was like, hey, he smelled like Marlboro Reds and, uh, what do you say? He's, I told him about pickleball business. He's like, that's good. That's good. You run your own business. You know, when I was a kid, I always told people, I'm going to be the guy running a business. I'm going to be having people work for me. And look at me now. Oh, by the guy's black. That's important. And, Look at me now, slave. Oh. I'm like,

well, you always work your way up. And the company, you know, like, there are a few just like weird comments. I don't know how to respond to. I don't know what to say to you right now, bro. Yeah, two full hours. The issue was they have a new policy where he can't write me a quote

until his boss talks to me directly. So he'd like, all right, yeah, I think I'm going to suggest this and this. Let me go out to the truck. And so he'd go out to the truck. and then just like 30 minutes goes by and I'm like hey I got to go soon he's like all right he should be giving you call anytime now

I'm like can we just do this over email like I got to run this new company policy whatever I don't need to go into it anymore but it really no it's just like this guy can't leave my house until his boss calls me but if his boss is busy he just has to wait yeah that's and then when his boss did call me we talked about

everything that me and this guy originally talked about like he was like dude he's been here an hour and half I've heard about all this I know that I could use a duct cleaning oh don't do the duct cleaning No, I'm not going to. That's so expensive. Yeah, $3,800. No shot.

I don't think so, Scooter. Yeah, everything about the whole business industry just seems so just like redundant and overcomplicated and just like they don't cater to people who are intelligent. I don't know. Just like why do you need to tell me the same thing nine times? You should use my guys. I always like my guys. One hour, dude. They're great.

Yeah. They're my parents like their best friends own this business and they're great. do uh no yeah Johnny Johnny Johnny's family really they're HVAC people they are HVAC people he he's like running it isn't he he was like see something oh like two years ago so so he's doing something right doing something anyway that's that's too bad though it's like dude I got to run why does your boss have to call me yeah what's he gonna tell me that you just didn't already tell me just email me like my guys literally I give them the code to the back door and they just go in and like I'm not even there and they just they'll just like they'll

they'll email me or they'll call me if they have like some concern or like some upgrade or something but like most of the time it's just like we're just here for our six month maintenance on this thing uh yeah no my guy was like i couldn't you know i walk him down to the basement like all right here's where the furnace is all right i'm gonna let you do your thing and then just holler if you need anything man to how long you lived here uh just like a couple years you like it's like it's like conversation but it's like aren't you trying to work aren't i trying to work maybe he's just like i got to get till five and then we're I don't want to have to go to my next job.

Then again, that's probably not how. I don't know how it works. Who knows? Yeah. All right. I'll let you get to it. I know you got a lot of work to do. Man, what do you think about Chiefs this year?

Ah, you know, I'm actually going to the game tonight. That's why you got to get out of here. Oh, that was that night. Yeah, that was last Monday. Yeah, that's rough. He's a talker. Okay. Saturday.

Library was good. And then after that went to, the highlight of the day was Rosie's ballet recital. Oh, yeah, I wasn't. It was good, man. It was, it was one of those things where it's like, we were a first time, like, parent with this kind of thing. Like, we learned the lesson of, like, if we do this next year, we got to do this differently because the recitals at 2.30.

They say, get there at 2 for your kid to, you know, whatever, be ready, I guess. I don't know. Rosie looks so cute. She looked like, you know, a little ballerina had this little. It was like a Christmas concert, but it was on November 1st. It was literally the day after Halloween. And so no part of me is like feeling Christmasy yet. I'm not, yeah, not the mood.

But it was funny. Yeah, it was like decorated for Christmas. I was like, wow, we're trying hard with this one. But Rosie looked cute. We get there. We were proud of ourselves. Brad and Catherine Ellis got there at 158. We're like, look at us.

Very good. Look at how we did with our four kids. Like we made it. We get there. Rosie goes and sits with her little class. And we look around this like church. It's a church auditorium. Sanctuary, whatever you'll call it.

And we look around and there's not that many people there, but like there are very few seats that are not like accounted for yet. That makes sense. Like there's a lot of like parents of the kids in the, you know, in the recital, but then they're all saving like, you know, grandparents' seats and sisters and whatever. So all of a sudden I like, I'm like, Katha, we got to go. We got to find a seat before we can't find anything.

So we're running all around. I find like literally the back row on. the left side because that's what katherine said rose on the left side okay great and then katherine flags me down from the other side of the room like hey come over here i think these are better seats okay whatever so i go with beau and hattie and henry over there or at least i thought and uh we're just hanging out and i see it one of my friends that i hadn't seen in a long time is that carson remember him yeah did youth ministry skinny guy yeah skinny redhead um good dude talking to him for a little bit and you know okay what he was like yeah we learned last year like we

got here like 140 because yeah you got to get here early and he's like so which ones are your kids and i was like yeah that's my eight year old there and that's my five-year-old boy and then my i guess my one-a-half-year-olds he's just kind of like too too little to probably see over the seats or whatever and katherine kind of hears me she's like actually that's our one-and-a-half-year-old over there being held by some other mom trying to find him like oh there he is and uh katherine goes over there and gather's like sorry his dad was supposed to you know be in charge sorry he's got kind of an absent father honestly though i was like of course that's not a good thing that henry's just wandering but part of me is like i don't hate it i don't know

seems fine but yeah i guess he was just walking around by like he's just like i'm just gonna go walk around go do my thing it's over on stage right it catherine did not love it uh but it was I was just like I didn't know that was my responsibility she's like yeah it was I was like fair okay my bad he seems independent he's independent I mean we're in a church come on with the night before truck or treaty had all that freedom I know so now it's like we got to be on like earlier today Henry is in the backyard and Catherine's like is Henry in the driveway like where is Henry he's fine but so another mom had him in her arms like picked him up correct Like holding him up, like, someone claim him.

Looking for like, who, where's, where's your mom and dad? That's awesome. And so as a dad, I'm like, that's fine. But as a mom, I think that's like, it looks bad. Like, she's more worried about that. Yeah, I would think as a dad, all you have to do is say, sorry, sir, fourth. Yeah, exactly. That's kind of it.

It's like, because you can. Hey, we had three out of the four. So, I mean, this is not my. Odds are pretty good. Exactly. I knew exactly where three of my kids were. I'm convinced that like, yeah, if you. if you have more than, let's say even once you have three kids, I think you just have to become

more chill as a parent. Like you can try to be a type A worried parent, but the more kids you have, the more you're like, I can't. I got to, I got to let some things go or else I'm going to drive myself crazy. We're not going to be able to hold hands across every street. That's a great point. Every once in a while, it's like, we're in parking lot. We need to hold hands. And then it's like, there's no one coming here. He's already kind of ahead. Yeah, just follow Henry, following me, jog, jog, jog. Yeah, see how fast you can run. So anyway, but Rosie was great, man. She was so cute up there.

And they had like this, it was go tell on the mountain that they were doing this song too, but it was like some, you know, updated version. So it was like, go, go, go, go, go, go. And like, so they would like run one side and do this. It was more like a little dance than it was a ballet. But she was cute, man. And, yeah, it was weird to celebrate Christmas. But at the same time, I'm like, okay, I know there's people out there that celebrate.

That's how they prefer to do it. first, it's time to put up the Christmas tree. And I still am not 100% on board for that. But I'm, I'm easing into maybe more accepting of start before Thanksgiving. A mid-November. Yeah, maybe because so often I,

I'm on the other side of things where I'm like, it's January 15th and I'm not ready to be done yet. But for every reason that seems more, like acceptable in my eyes because it's like, it's still wintertime. It doesn't feel like it's wintertime right now. Yeah. Christmas is like a winter thing.

Yep. So I'm with you. Rachel and I had that that great debate that every couple goes through. Yeah, we had that conversation. You know, you have to have those conversations. It's tough. Ideally before you get married.

Yeah. And I'm glad we did premarital counseling to go over it. But yeah, Rachel was like, let's be honest. We're not really like super on top of like taking down Christmas decorations. So we don't need to like get them up extra early. The Christmas tree is still in the hallway.

Yeah, which probably got taken out of here in like March. So, you know, it's got a good lifespan on it. But yeah, it's ready to be brought back in soon. So yeah, we're like,

it's going to be up for a while. We don't need to get it up early. Yeah, I'm embarrassed. I'm trying to be better, but I'm embarrassed at how long I've kept my Christmas sites on my house multiple times. I think one time it was hot outside. Like I was like, I should probably put on some suntan loaves before I go up like to they get this.

Do you remember? So I have a reminder in my phone that's coming up in the next few months for you. I think last year you're like, Jake put it remind me next year. It probably is that. Isn't it? It's not that hard to take them down. Yeah, it's something like that.

It takes 30 minutes max. Taking it down to so easy. It seems like a huge project. Yes. Taking them down literally, you just kind of like, you start like pulling them and hope that they work. And if not, you get up on the roof eventually. But yeah, that's fun. Okay, good. I need that though.

I don't know when, but I know it's in my phone somewhere. Remind Brad that Christmas lights are not that hard to take down. And then my neighbor won't get mad about the lights being on. It's so late. Anyway. You go full moon and Christmas lights up. Yeah, she's going to lose it. My kids are so into the moon right now.

they're loving it. Rachel and I went on a little walk yesterday and got to walk staring at the moon slash the sunset. That was fun. Got to see both in one. Wow. Look. It was a good sunset last night.

Yeah, it was. That's all you have to say about that. And just moon's cool. Moon's cool. Yeah, Bo wanted to, we started reading the Hardy Boys. You ever reading those? Yeah.

Dude, they're awesome. I read a lot of Hardy Boys actually. Yeah, I don't know if Bo is a little too young for him because it's kind of serious. Like, we're like kind of like, like the first chapter of this one we couldn't find number one so we're starting on number two but uh yeah

it's like drug smugglers into their town and then it's like what else like yeah this person's screaming like in this abandoned lighthouse and it's like is this gonna like haunt you like are you gonna have a hard time sleeping you know yeah but so far he's into it he's like there's a picture on the very first page

of this guy named pretzel Pete and so every time anything happens But I was like, that's probably Pretzel Pete doing something. I think that's, I think maybe the one of the smugglers is Presel Pete, you think that? Or do you think he's the guy that stole the motorcycles? Pretzel, like everything has to come back to pretzel Pete. Could Presel Pete have, huh, maybe he has some goons who do his work for him. It is pretty fun.

He'll, like, he'll start having all these theories. Like, yeah. I think they stole the tools from the motorcycle because they didn't want him to get home to see his dad. I think you're right, buddy. That's great, drug smoker. So, yeah, are you reading this to him? and he just gets to sit and theorize it's fun yeah how would you explain to a five-year-old what's smuggling like what's a smuggler what is smuggling it's secretly taking things somewhere yeah that's

good yeah you're being sneaky when you bring something somewhere i smuggled popcorn in the movie yeah and you're like and you're not supposed to you're not supposed to have it in that place yeah i smuggled a kit cat in the movie i smuggled smuggle it's kind of a cute word for what it is It sounds so close to snuggle. Yes, that's probably it. Like it should be an adjective for like, oh, you got to use fabric softener. Your clothes feel so smugly afterwards. Yeah, and I tried to like think of examples that I could tell him that wouldn't give him ideas.

Like I don't want him to, because he's already kind of honorary as a kid. Yeah. I didn't want to be like, hey, if you just like sneak something into church, like you could bring candy with you. Maybe a pocket or compartment is something your parents don't know about. Yeah, you know how you're not supposed to have like your light on. in your room when you go to bed at night. You could smuggle some lumens. You know what lumens are?

You watch Severn's? All right. Last, last, but not least. Dude, I was actually thinking about this, like, who's got it better than someone who owns something from Cozy Earth? I was like getting into bed last night and being like, I mean, I don't care what time of year it is. Like, these sheets are so good.

It's unbelievable. And they sell a million things. But I think the sheets are just, it's where you're going to spend a third of your life in it's i think it's where the most comfort yeah it's probably where the biggest upgrade is well and who's got it better in in life than the person who has cozier sheets and this time of year can also wear sweats to bed yeah that are cozy yeah that's what i've been doing like a crew neck to bed yep in the cozier sheets so nice yeah i like the other night i was i was really cold and so i had my socks on in bed yeah i took them off

because i was like i got to feel that i want to feel the viscos from bamboo there's something about it that just comforts you so hard i don't even really like cleaning my sheets because it's like well what if i end up having to go a night without them oh yeah you got to be quick you got to be strategic yeah it's like i got to make sure i'm home all day if i'm going to do laundry and then you dry them and it's like no they're not as dry as i thought run run through more i just won't go to bed they're really good bed sheets and i mean i've been used in there it's that time of year i got out there the giant i think they called a cuddle blanket yeah it's like a weighted blanket beyond belief it's humongous it's heavy that thing's nice i've been reading under that

every day. Oh yeah. That's the, uh, that's the bedtime reading blanket for me and my kids. Yeah. I have, I'm in the middle, bow and rose on each side of me, pull that blanket up. It's nice. It's next level. It's a good blanket. Look up the cuddle blanket. I mean, can't get wrong with anything of Cozy Earth. Uh, get your discount with the promo code GRC. The link is down below to take you there. Uh, yeah, it's really good. It falls a good time to get cozy. I'm wearing a cozy earth hoodie right now. It is unbelievable. Got the socks on. I'm always wearing it. I think I was wearing this hoodie, uh, the other day at Glide, house sitting next to Gunner. Gunner's a toucher anyway. Yep. But Gunner, Gunner touched me and then he

came back to touch me for probably three more seconds because he wanted to feel this thing. He's just like, that is something else. It's like cozy earth.com slash ghostroarer. Yep. They make high quality stuff. Yeah. Cozier, check them out. Anyway. So, fun times. I, uh, I know I told a part of the story, you know, correct opinions has this sponsored function health. They do all these biomarkers, get your blood done. It's when I had 14 vials taken out, 12 in one arm, two and the other. Yeah. It came back. My biological age was 27. Great.

Felt pretty good about that. Yeah. Because you're 34. Yes. Yeah. So that was awesome. And, but it's one of those things where, you know, you open yourself up to so many biomarkers. It's like, if I'm symptom free right now, should I've even done this?

Because now there are things that are like popping up that's like, well, I had no idea of this, no idea of this. And chat GPT is becoming the new webmd because I look at like this hormone I've never heard of is crazy high and so you look up what it is and it says yeah you could either have pancreatic cancer or you were dehydrated that day i choose to believe the first i'm gonna guess i was dehydrated that day um hey i know it did cross my mind um but maybe it's like hey sometimes i wonder over time sometimes i wonder like yeah how hydrated do you become right away if you drink water you know what i mean i think it's a couple day process a couple days i think it's a couple days. I was thinking like hours, maybe. Like eight hours. Yeah. Like I don't think if it's like,

I'm dehydrated right now. I'm going to drink a gallon of water and then all of a sudden I'm going to pee white, clear, whatever. Like, I think it takes a second to like get through your system. I used to have this whole theory about the color of your urine and pretty much every medical professional I've talked to says that's not how it works. But, oh, what was your theory? Well, it sounds like you might be on my team. I was like, you know, we think like the closer your urine is to like transparent, the more hydrated you are. and I would say that is correlation but not causation. The cause is my theory is that there's actually like the lining of your bladder

is actually what gives color, the yellow color to your urine. I'm just making this up. But so yes, how hydrated you are, how quickly you're flushing it out would be how clear it is. But my theory is, well, what if I have a big bladder? What if I'm just able to hold my urine in for a long time? Then my urine would always have a certain color to it. Regardless of how hydrated I am, I'm just going to hold my blood. bladder. That's pretty impressive they even form that theory. I don't think about that stuff as

much as you do. That's, yeah, but like, maybe. And I was like, yeah, why not? And then they were like, that's not how it works. I was like, I feel like good. You don't know everything. Yeah. Who died made you God of bladder. What they say it's a, it's a practice. You practice medicine. See one, do one teach. Oh, I see you're saying, yeah, you're not even good at. You're still practicing. Yeah, you're not. Yeah, you're still learning. You're always in the process of learning. Yeah, it's like why I practiced abstinence. I'm still alerting how to do that. All of a sudden, you're like, I'm ready.

It's time. Put me in, coach. But, yeah, hydration. What was this saying? So then, you know, I get some of these results back. I tell my doctor, and he's like, send me over some more stuff. And then a week goes by and even more results come in. And so I, like, here's this, like, 35 page PDF.

I'm like, I'm not even going to look through it. you tell me what to think about all this. And he goes, why don't you come in so we could talk about it? I was like, oh boy. You don't get called into the principal's office. Just making a phone call.

Yeah. I was like, I was a little nervous. Just like, we can't do this over the portal. Correct. You got to bring me in for this. Yeah.

And it ended up being great. He was like, there's just a lot to talk to you. I don't want to type it all out, basically. Maybe say that part first. Yeah, I make that one work there.

So he's like, no, I'm not worried about any of the stuff. Everything looks really good. You know, yada yada, but the one part that was kind of funny he was like we I still remember back in med school learning about like blood tests like this where yes it's so helpful because you can get so many

things tested but we always equated to the metaphor it's like pick it picking a bugger in public and I go that's just like general advice that's unrelated to this and he's like and he was like kind of laughing he's like no no it's just like you know it's like picking a burger in public because, you know, all these biomarkers now. And this guy's a pretty young guy. He's pretty fun. I was like, I think you've got to find a better metaphor. I think there's something better than you could. What's you trying to say? What's the point? I had to ask him like during times. And there was like a, is that like a thing? I don't understand. Is that like a thing that you guys say? Is that something smarter people understand than me? There was a girl in there

shadowing him. And so I was like, come on. You're on my team, right? This could be better. She's like, it could be better. I was like, thank you. His point was. If you pick a booger in public, it's like, what do I do with this now? You just flick it to the side. And that's, I guess, sometimes what you do? When you get all this data back, you go, what do I do with this now? For the most part, you don't even need to worry about it. Oh, that's, yeah.

And I was like, yeah, you could come over the way better metaphor than that. At best, four out of ten. That's bad. Like, no one, no one is thinking that the first time they hear that. Yeah. So I really pushed back. If I left him with anything, it was like, you got to do better. I'm going to challenge you on this.

Yeah. But it was great. I feel like we had a lot of like good banter on the front end, on the back end. He was like, so did you find anyone to x-ray your pickleball paddles? I was like, oh, gosh, did I ask you that last time I saw you? Which is funny because 30 minutes before I went into that appointment, Isaac texted me is like, all right, I should be good to drill to mark three. I'm getting him x-ray at 1.30. So I was like, we have a guy now.

Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know who Isaac's guy is. I don't know if he's a vet or he's a doctor or what he is dentist, but I forgot. I think the last time I saw my doctor, yeah, as to if I could borrow his x-ray machine. So I was like, oh, sorry about that. We got to figure it out. It's like picking a wedgy in private.

You got to ask, right? Look at a booger in public. Yeah. Yeah, and it sounds like this was like taught him in med school. So maybe if there's any other medical professionals out there, maybe you would be like, oh, yeah, I remember getting taught that too. Yeah, that was in my textbook. Ray McNally.

Yeah. Interesting. So, yeah, kind of funny. But overall, yeah, good news. It was like, no, dude. not worried by any of this because some of it's annoying it's like your cholesterol's low but it's the good cholesterol you want it to be high like that's so annoying yeah come on yeah i don't know i'm fine yeah it's like hey i feel good so is that okay and that's the thing you're saying

about the pancreas thing he's like normally we don't catch pancreas problems before you do he's like you would feel it if you had any issues at all he's like it's right in the middle of your gut it would hurt yeah he's like you're fine i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine i was just dehydrated I just needed less... I got a large bladder. I have a huge bladder. I was trained by my dad on road trips to Florida and whatnot. That's good.

That's good. All right. When I wrap this sucker up, we don't have time ins. We had nothing else to talk about. Oh, Timon. Stream a song, though.

It's out now. I've been texting it. I was like, dude, I feel bad. I've listened to the MP3 file you sent me. I've listened to it like seven times. I feel bad that I've been listening to in private before it's available on Spotify.

Those are streams I could be giving you, Yeah, yeah. I will say, Timon, my kids liked it. They like your other work better. That's what I told Timon, too. I was like, this is going to be one of those things. You put so much work into it. And people were like, dude, it was cool.

But Harvesty's, mouse in the house, dude. I think you're really snapped. Rosie's like, I don't want this one. I want mouse in the house in the house. Rosie's always like, mouse is the house so funny. That's what she says. That's the house so funny. Yeah.

So, but dude, I mean, it's, it's stuck in my head. I have texted time. I was like, dude, I just woke up in the morning. Your song's in my head, dude. That's got to be a good sign. And it's an interesting song because it's like, like you said last week, it's like not. Very different. It's like, I don't really know what the main part of the song is.

The structure is unique. It's like, let me just do six parts of different songs, just throw them in there together. And I like it. It's fun. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. All right. We're doing reviews of the week.

We're doing some reviews of the week. Okay. We got two six days ago. I'll do two times per week. Isn't enough. Five-star review. from spubby-nubber. You guys are so fun to listen to.

Your comedic styles are so natural and comfortable. Most other podcasts make me feel like I'm a spectator to the episode. I like how this one's starting right away. That's nice. This one makes me feel like I'm sitting in the basement at a friend's house, cracking jokes. I have a little commentary in my head as I listen and I wish so badly I could interject

to tell a story related to the subject. Sorry, I got to, I'm good. I was going to have to blow my nose. Maybe that's an unhealthy parisocial relationship, but I also get the feeling you are all totally cool with that sort of thing. Also love your boldness to talk about your faith in Jesus. On days without a new episode,

I go back and play old episodes to start my mornings at work. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you so much. P.S. Get time and a date. That's a good point. That boy's doing just fine. Yeah, he's going to all these like church for sure. Yeah. I don't really talk to him about this stuff,

but he's got options, surely. He's fine. And if not, the only girls I know are pickleball players. So. I don't know, that's no, they're six, seven. They keep saying they're six, seven. No, but that's fun.

I always like hearing that. It's so fun that one of our biggest, you know, commodities, if you can call it that, is just the casualness of the way we talk to each other, I guess. It's not something we have to think about, which is nice. It is nice. It's like, yeah, it's like, hey, if you become too professional, you can't do this anymore. We don't like it as much. So it's like, all right, we'll just be chill then.

We're not going to worry too much about what our desk looks like or what we're wearing or anything like that. Yeah, even just, yeah, the, yeah, community style is natural and comfortable. I just, I think that's nice. I really value you saying that. So thank you. Yeah.

I'm glad we have that. Mine's from Wes Bryant. Instant favorite five stars. This has become my favorite podcast. I've listened to the 10 most recent episodes and also started listening to the first 10 episodes so far in between the new ones. It's cool to know that I'm eventually going to hear

And I sent her this list of a bunch of them, and she got back to me within a couple hours. She's impressive. She is great. Yeah, like as I'm listening to you sing it, but looking at the karaoke version, she knows what she's doing because like, I'm not trying to take away from her.

She does, but she doesn't try to do too much. She's not like completely rewriting a song. It's like the same rhyming sound and scheme. Yeah. She's good. You're good. It's a good hopement, Maddie. No, it's a good.

You're really good. You're efficient at this. Yes. Thanks, Maddie. As always. Yeah. As always. It's fun to see the wizard and action back in Gulf Shores when she's writing the sweet home Alabama thing.
