Hi, Jake.
It's electricity fun facts time.
Hit me with it.
Electricity fun fact number one.
The first four common domestic items to be powered by electricity were one.
Light bulb.
No, these are domestic items.
Light bulb is not domestic.
Like a sewing machine and a-
Oh, that kind of domestic.
Yes.
Iron.
Nope.
Fan.
Dang it.
Keep guessing.
Dishwashing kit.
Kettle.
And?
And the oven.
Toaster.
Pretty much.
Pretty much a small oven.
Okay, this is going well.
Okay, yeah, so far so good.
Let's go ahead and go on the oven route.
A typical microwave oven consumes more electricity powering its blank than it does heating the food.
This is...
He's an iPhone fax.
He's a...
It's trivia.
Yeah, it's a question.
Okay, fine.
No, no, no.
It's kind of interesting.
All right, what else can it power on the microwave?
Tell me.
The digital clock takes more electricity
than actually heating up the food.
So they got to reprogram
how they're making these microwaves.
No. No, it takes less energy to.
Oh, you're saying with the.
Way too much energy
is going out on the clock.
Yeah, that's fair.
Dude.
Also, I hate microwaves.
I like I feel like I have little things
that will make me not buy.
You know, it's like, yeah,
girls care more about
the cup holders in a car.
OK, this is my cup holder.
Tell me it is OK.
It's kind of down five, four, three, two. And then right when it hits zero,
I hit the, um, it's just stop. Yeah. No more noise. I've done my job and he goes,
beep, beep. When the door is open, I already have my cherry Danish warmed up.
I don't need this to keep beeping. Coming coffee is yeah. Oh yes. I agree. I hate that. That's why
I often will push at one you push at one sometimes not fast
enough i push i push at one i stop clear yeah that's what i should do i also eat microwaves
i got a lot to say about microwaves good you press one and it's like great one minute it's
like whoa i pressed one button i'm locked into a one minute like cook okay i want to click like
one four start 14 seconds thank you sure i'm big, I'm a big 30 second start automatically one button push.
Well,
I know I didn't do that very well.
It's that easy.
30 second automatic one start.
There's a button on ours.
You just press the button and it just automatically turns on for 30 seconds and you can press
it as many times as you want and it'll just go up.
So I never put in like two minutes.
I just pressed 30 seconds,
four times.
That's kind of fun.
What if you need something for 10 seconds? Uh, 30 seconds. and I just stand there for stand there Wow inefficient. Yeah, I mean 10 seconds
What are you doing in 10 seconds dudes Texas on back? What else?
Looking around. Okay. One more thing scratching my nose perfect. Can't do that while you're standing. Okay, here's the ears
Is that good? Do we do we get I went alone. Tell me more. Okay, here's... Is that good? Do we get there? No, tell me more.
Okay, this one's kind of interesting.
Appliances also use electricity
when they're switched off,
which makes sense.
The average desktop computer
idles at 80 watts,
while the average laptop
idles at 20 watts.
A Sony PlayStation 3,
which shows you when this was made...
That's okay.
...uses about 200 watts,
both when it's active
and when it's idle.
So it's literally
just as energy efficient when it's on as when it's idle so it's literally just as energy efficient when
it's on as when it's off okay fun these are fun facts fun facts guys don't tell me yeah there's
no fun facts keep going until they stop being fun as an example of how much more efficient
modern appliances are a fridge from the mid-80s 30 years ago used four times as much electricity
electricity as a modern one.
Okay, that's good.
The microwave people could learn a thing or two from the fridge people.
Yep.
That's it.
What do you mean, that's it?
I mean, there's-
You found a website with five fun facts?
There's different sections.
I don't really want to get into another section.
What are they like?
How fun is that?
This is from globeenergy.com.au.
Oh, Australian.
Oh, why were we speaking Australian? Oh, that globe energy.com. Dot. A U. Oh, Australian.
Oh,
why were we speaking?
Oh, that's a fun.
Hey,
buddy,
mate.
Hey,
do you know?
Hey,
hi.
It takes a mother.
Roo more energy to push out a little Joey than it does to clean your dishes.
You know,

Just roll the music.
Oh, I know. to clean your dishes. You know that freezer. I can't do it. Just roll the music. Uh-oh.

Yeah, when are you listening? Hey, if you it makes your day better or your night or when
you're listening hey if you're listening in the day or the night in the afternoon leave us a comment
below yeah that would be so cool if you were one of those things i think that's pretty special
uh we've had a good week here in kansas city a good day here brad and i spent a lot of time
together we were both up and adam early yes which that is so funny that you literally thought it was
adam dude listen listen i know i even asked katherine like hoping that maybe she would have That is so funny that you literally thought it was Adam. Dude, listen, listen.
I know.
I even asked Catherine, like hoping that maybe she would have also like.
This is pretty common, right?
Misinterpreted.
Just the more that you said, Adam, Adam, Adam.
I just, I kept thinking like, maybe it's short for adamant.
Like you're up and you're adamant. It was firm.
It was adamant.
It was resolved.
Yeah, we were both up and Adam.
Nice and early day.
We were texting like 6 a.m.
No problem.
I think yesterday you texted me at like 4 in the morning and I texted you back at like
6 in the morning.
And I have a feeling that you were not, you were up at 4 a.m.
You were not up in Adam.
I, last night I slept from midnight to 5.30, I think.
Yeah.
But I mean, the night before. Like you, you went to, you, you stayed up Yeah. But I mean the night before, like you,
you, you, you stayed up really late. Yeah. Night before I was up real late. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you texted me like, Hey, we got to do the podcast someday. And I woke up like, you know,
two hours after you texted me to go to bed kind of thing. It's just crazy. Fun time.
Weird night of sleep. But dude, I love being awake. I'll say it. Being awake is awesome.
Okay. What do you mean by that? Like in the morning? Staying up late or waking up early.
I've been doing both.
I mean, back.
So, yeah, two nights ago, I stayed up until three or four a.m.
Having so much fun by myself.
Cleaning, vacuumed, got a lot of stuff done.
Vacuumed at night?
Yeah.
Well, I thought about it.
Every bedroom in my house is on the opposite side.
Like I'm pretty secluded.
Yeah, you're fine.
And and then the very next day, I wake up four hours earlier than normal.
And it's so I feel like I've been awake for so long today., I wake up four hours earlier than normal.
And it's so I feel like I've been awake for so long today.
So I woke up at five.
It's one of those things like once you get used to it and then you sleep in for like a day.
It's like I've just lost so much.
Like there's something mental to it of like it's nice to get up early.
There's something about it.
Like, yeah, once you get Adam, if you're just up early, it doesn't matter.
Once you start getting Adam, it feels good. See, it's hard for me to get up, but then it's kind of easy for me you get Adam, once you're just up early, it doesn't matter. Once you start getting Adam, it feels good.
See, it's hard for me to get up, but then it's kind of easy for me to get Adam.
How do you get Adam usually?
You got to turn the lights on. You got to sit up in bed.
OK, once I'm showering, that's I'm Adam.
Then you're Adam. I just got to stand up.
OK, once I'm out of the bed, I will not go back down.
OK, I'm Adam.
You you would never be tempted to get back in bed. No, I stand up.
I'll go to the bathroom. I could easily get back in bed. Really? Oh baby. I could, you couldn't fall asleep again. Oh no, I totally could. That's the downfall. I was like, Jake, if you get
horizontal again, you won't see yourself for another four hours. Exactly. Yeah. Okay. But
you, you're not tempted to do that usually because I know what will happen. Yeah. Up and down them
is what that's called. You don't want that. I've been recently having like struggles with my alarm clock.
Like I think mentally I know when I need to get up versus when I should be getting up.
Yeah.
And so especially with baby and everything, like often I'll try to go to bed at, you know,
whatever, 10 PM.
But realistically, I'm not going to bed till midnight and then getting up a few times at
night or whatever.
And so my alarm will go off at five.
I always do on at 512 and 515 a.m.
OK.
And recently I've been like snoozing for literally two hours straight without even like knowing
that I've been snoozing.
Oh, I see.
Oh, yeah.
I'll wake up and like I've like consistently pressed my alarm off every nine minutes.
Oh, yeah.
For, you know, two hours without even knowing it.
Yep.
And it's kind of like to the point where I'm getting a little bit scared of like,
I'm going to oversleep something eventually.
Oh yeah.
I mean, that's been me ever since college, basically.
You wake up afterwards, like I don't consciously remember, like,
I don't remember making the decision to sleep in.
It just kind of, it happens.
Your body just like will do things for you.
It sucks.
Have I ever told you the story about how i slept in on my like for the day that i was supposed to fly home from studying abroad in
spain yeah i think you have it's really stressed stressful yeah i'll post the the link to patreon
because it's i wrote a blog about it one time yeah it was really crazy but um it's freaking
crazy it was one of those like it was like I had not overslept my alarm all semester.
And then of course, like the one day I have to be somewhere.
It was not good.
So anyway.
Anyway, we've been together today.
We've been.
Yeah.
We shot some videos together.
Then we got Hawaiian bros together.
Yeah.
Now we are here together.
We are friends in real life and also associates.
We've all we've always said that if we can be friends and associates together, life is good.
Mission accomplished.
Yeah.
We filmed some videos for jean shorts today.
Yeah.
Sheltered kid came back out to play.
Sheltered kid goes to college.
That was fun.
I laughed out loud multiple times.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I had fun.
Um,
yeah,
those are,
yeah.
The sheltered kid ones are just,
it's always like,
let's just take our life experiences slash more Jake's life experience.
But,
and then like,
and then just make them a little bit crazier, like a little bit, push the envelope on it. But, and then like, and then just make
them a little bit crazier, like a little bit, push the envelope on it. Like, it's not even
really thinking about me. It's like thinking about like the most homeschooled kid I knew at SBU.
Like what was he doing? Yeah, exactly. Let's talk about that. That was fun. Also, Mr. Lamping came
out today. Yep. Uh, we did another teacher's video and Brad was playing the role of a driver's ed
instructor. How many minutes of footage do you think we got?
So yeah, we were doing types of teachers.
And I think we had like, you know,
eight or 10 different types that we were going to eventually,
like ultimately do.
And, you know, most of the teachers,
we did like 30 seconds worth of clips.
And then I think we were in that car,
like doing the driver's ed. Enough to steam it up.
Yeah.
So we had like Mr. Lambie and the old,
old elderly guy doing driver's ed, you know?
Yeah. And I mean, we were inie and the old, old elderly guy doing driver's ed, you know? Yeah.
And I mean, we were in there for a long time.
Just laugh it the whole time.
Every time I would say something.
So, so Derek was in the driver's seat, like filming me.
And then Jake was in the backseat and I could just hear you.
Like, like trying so hard not to laugh too loud, but like, just like little laughs.
And it's one of those things where like like even when we
are doing funny things in jean shorts like it's very rare that we're like consistently laughing
and you were like consistently like no matter what i said it wasn't it was never like getting
old to you it's a great voice i took some video here you guys go use a little preview
now connor there's a stale green light right here so anticipate the yellow anticipate the yellow
and we're going through nice yeah that's
that's the that's the one that ghosties will know from a long time ago yep it's a little little uh
easter egg for you guys but um yeah that one was fun we're we're having fun man and now we're here
now we're recording a podcast how was your week it's been good. I've been doing quite a bit of things. I feel like the last three days have been kind of
like, you know, when you're, you have full battery on your phone and then it like pretty
much gets depleted and then you like charge it up to like 60% and then you like lose it again.
And then you keep chart. I feel like that's been me the last like three days where I've been like
busy and, you know, working and not getting enough sleep but getting a little bit like to recharge
so like i feel like i'm starting to start like running on fumes i need like a solid solid eight
tonight but um and do you just to clarify how do you feel about running on fumes like are fumes
good do you like that no oh okay actually like you're like serious i don't know sometimes it
seems like fumes would burn hotter than normal uh like gasoline like sometimes the fumes yeah are good yeah i don't
know enough about fumes i i smelled some fumes uh about 10 minutes ago that came from your bottom
and those didn't sell no um i never thought about the word perfume being a type of fume
it's a perf per kind of it's like it's it's perfect it's ideal
it is perfume that's the french word perfume means ideal uh smell huh yeah or is it like a
like a price thing like oh how much perfume uh i'll give you four dollars perfume well that's
the english translation okay okay that's how it is yeah yeah it's like i just for every fume original greek which then translates to french ideal smell uh-huh it's from seminary so
uh anyway but yeah the last three days have been i mean yeah everything's been great i uh
on friday night it was fun we went out to dinner together double date plus rose yeah
which was fun that was jake's idea i like that you're like dude what do you

uh gave us the freedom to be out a little bit later and hang out with you and
uh your girl and jake got to see what my little baby looks like did you
approve yeah for some reason i don't know what this says about me but i don't know if it totally
registered that it was like my first time meeting your daughter oh really i think it's the instagram
effect a little bit maybe i'm like feeling like i had seen her and i know her by now i got her

Uh,
Jake,
Jake ordered the salmon,
which was,
which was fine. I mean, that's great. You love salmon, but you the salmon, which was, which was fine.
I mean, that's great.
You love salmon, but you go, I, I think you were joking, obviously, but you're like, yeah,
I ordered the salmon.
It was the only thing on the menu that had a picture.
Yeah.
It was like a special or something that you're like, I mean, it looks good in the picture.
So like the only thing I know exactly what I'm going to get, like show me a picture of
the salmon.
I think the menu came and then they put the special on top of it, like that piece of paper.
And you're just like, oh, I don't even need to look at the menu. Didn't even look.
This picture of the salmon looks just fine.
This looks great.
Dude, you'd be proud of the way I meet lately. After church
on Sunday, took Rachel to a place called
BB Bop. You ever heard of that? Yep.
Yeah. Was it good? A little tough to get
the sounds in the right order.
I never, BB Bop, BB Boop.
You know, something like that. Betty Boop.
I've never had it, but is it like it's like Asian?
Yes, it is potentially Korean.
OK.
And it's a little bit of like, I don't know, Chipotle style.
Like, what do you want in your bowl?
Cool.
Anything.
Brad, I'll tell you, we're working on some stuff over in Korea.
They got purple rice, Brad.
Purple rice.
What do you think?
It tastes like rice. crazy how that works uh but dude i'm having i was throwing on kale i had broccoli i had
what else did i put in there i was just eating did rachel have a shotgun to your head or something
or yeah you're like look at like uh do you want any kale and you you're like, yes. Kale, yeah.
You want any broccoli?
Brock, yeah.
Brock my socks off.
Yeah, Brock and roll.
That's good.
Look at you.
But yeah, so that was fun.
Blue Koi was fun.
We're having a good time.
Dude, I'll tell you what was really fun. It was two weeks ago after Culver's, just me, you and Rachel, just laughing in the parking
lot.
Yeah, that was nice.
That was a good time. That was a great time. Yeah, we did laugh a lot.
Laughed a lot. I was like, I like this girl. She can stick around. Yeah, she can hang. Yeah,
it was fun. Like, well, that's what I said to you. I was like, I've definitely hung out and
talked with Rachel some, but we hadn't really gotten any like we had you over for dinner one
time. I don't know, a month or two ago, maybe five months ago. I don't know how long things go. Uh, seriously, how long ago you think that was? That was probably four months ago.
Seriously? Yeah. No. Yeah. Really? I think three to four months ago.
Could have told you it was two weeks ago. I don't know. Obviously I know it's not two weeks. Cause
now I have Rose is like kind of a, here are the three craziest things about you. And I've learned
all these in the past year. You don't believe in deja vu
because you've never had it.
You can't,
like you have no
like ability
within your brain
to know the timing
of when things happen.
I don't think it's ability.
I think it's,
I don't care.
And then third
is that you don't know
the lyrics of any song
you listen to.
All three of those things
are the most shocking thing
about your personality to me.
Okay.
Yeah, that's fair.
I can't believe it.
I think two and three,
yeah.
I think I could, I could get the timing or the dates down. I just don't think me okay yeah that's fair i can't believe it i think uh i think two and three yeah i think i
could i could get the timing or the dates down i just don't think to me that doesn't mean i love
you anymore if i like i know your birthday is in august don't i don't know any idea no i'm not
saying that i'm saying you not like having an idea in your head like a general idea of like when that
dinner happened like i don't know two weeks four weeks i i'm like no i mean probably four months
like time just time is so i don't know if it's i don't know, two weeks, four weeks. I'm like, no, I mean, probably four months. Like time just time is so, I don't know if it's me. I don't know if this has
always been how I am or if it's like, since I've been like self-employed, but time just goes by.
Like, it's just like, I don't know. I, every week is great. Like I like my life. I like my life
enough where I'm not like, okay, let's see in two weeks we get to do this one really fun thing.
It's like, no, every week I get to have fun.
And that is a good way to live.
Cause I've been living that way too.
And I'll tell you what day does matter.
And it's tax day.
And that will also go by.
And that will also just fly right past you.
And then you Google how to file for a tax extension.
You're like,
well,
I mean,
that looks complicated.
So I guess just,
just sit this one out for a few weeks.
See what they say.
Yeah. They'll come to your door. I'll see if they contact me for a few weeks. Just see what they say. Yeah.
They'll come to your door.
Trust me.
I'll see if they contact me.
And we'll just kind of see what happens.
Oh, man.
So still haven't done them.
What happens if you just go TurboTax right now?
They're just like, too late?
Too late.
You missed it.
Maybe next year, kid.
Talk to a CPA.
Not a problem.
Not our business anymore.
Shut down for yeah whatever eight months
uh so yeah i'll probably uh do that soon i think that's a good idea we'll see but yeah time goes
by because it is may i had to think about it for like two seconds right then but i'm like it is may
it is may yeah bo's birthday is tomorrow which is kind of wild cinco de mayo and talk about like
and then katherine's birthday is in a week um so
I need to start thinking about that yeah that's another thing I'm just like I don't I don't do a
good job of like remembering those things far enough in advance so Catherine's listening to
this she's like oh so Brad really hasn't thought about my birthday much correct Catherine like I
will get you some great gifts but they're not going to be like the first thing on your list
because people have already taken those things because they think about you quicker than I do
she registered for her birthday and some of those
gifts already taken yeah we use this we use this website called gifster actually uh like our whole
family like what so you can you can put like yeah i was joking no yeah we have like birthday and
christmas lists and stuff oh and you can put things on there what happened to the good old
days whatever happened to predictability yeah just like hey i know this person i know something they
might like and then you take a chance on getting him a good gift honestly that's what i would say her family is
really good at still doing that uh especially her brother her brother's like very very her oldest
brother is very very very thoughtful with his gifts it's kind of like one of the things he's
known for but at the end of the day sometimes it's like thanks for this gift that you just spent all
this money on but i don't like it yeah no it's not the right size or you know whatever um but yeah it does take away from some of the the allure of it because
it's like oh it's exactly what i wanted and i linked it so you just click two things and you've
got it for me yeah so uh i think no i can't tell you right now because the uh the podcast will come
out dude don't freaking tell before her birthday so I'll tell you guys what I got her next week.
So anyway.
But yeah, the week has been good this weekend.
Yeah, we went to Blue Coy.
And then Saturday I went with Sammy.
Cool guy.
Sammy was still in town.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
I meant to ask you about it.
So it was.
So the Chiefs had this.
So Sammy is a season ticket holder for the Chiefs, which is so funny.
He's literally a season ticket holder for three different NFL teams.
Guy likes football.
He likes football. And also, I think he just makes a lot of money.
Guy likes money.
I don't know why we don't do this.
Like, like, because like with the Eagle, he's a season ticket holder, the Eagles, and he
keeps those season tickets because it's really hard to get season tickets.
But he's like chiefs.
I got him first year.
Like it was very easy.
Oh, really?
And he just like, yeah, if I sell, you know, three or four of the games, I can make my money back, you know, pretty easily. Oh, really? And he's just like, yeah, if I sell three or four of the games, I can make my money back pretty easily.
Oh, great.
So anyway, they had this event during the NFL draft on Saturday
for Chiefs season ticket holders.
And he's like, do you want to come?
And I was like, sure.
We're supposed to be able to go in the locker room.
We didn't because we waited too long and the line got too long.
COVID.
Yes.
But they had all these cool things on the the field they had free food and drink they had all the you know offensive
defensive coordinator there like getting interviewed um mitch holtis the the voice of
the chiefs was there you know he's the touchdown kansas city he kept the entire time on stage he
kept using the word dudes he's like we got some great dudes that we just drafted.
And then he talked about like, you know, TJ McDuffie, like the number one corner that we got.
This dude is just an absolute dude. Just over and over again. Cause Mitch is probably what,
like high fifties, low sixties. Yes. Did he just learn this word? He's like a toddler. He like,
just picked it up and he says it all the time. It's really funny. Do you listen to him on the
radio very often? Yeah. If I'm like running late to your house for a game
then i listen to the radio like i think he used to like he's he's always been known for saying
touchdown kansas city but now it seems like he has realized like oh catchphrases are really like
catchy how about that stewart scott yeah he was fun and so now it feels like he's just one like
like conversational catchphrase the whole oh yeah the past couple seasons he's been saying some weird stuff time to put the hammer down yeah or
like has nicknames for all these different guys that are like not even good yeah what do you call
anthony sherman the sausage the sausage and he like had like a you know catchphrase off that
sausage yeah anyway uh so he makes sense that he's running east because that makes him a Polish sausage.
It's like what in the world?
Just say he ran the ball.
I don't know.
This is weird.
Yeah.
Just all these weird things.
Anyway, so he was there and it was really cool.
But right when we walk in, like before we were getting in line to go in and we're walking up there and I hear this guy go, oh, no way.
No way.
Hey, hey, this guy is hilarious., no way. No way. Hey, hey, this guy is hilarious.
Dude, this guy.
No way.
No way.
And I'll I'll I'll clean it up for the listeners out there.
OK.
He said, hey, man, your stuff is funny as ever.
Yeah.
Keep doing your thing.
Yeah.
And I was like, thanks, man.
And of course, Sammy's with me and sammy is like a huge
like he found us through the podcast so sammy already thinks i'm like a celebrity so he was
just like that is so cool dude that happened to you all the time and i was like never every time
i come to everhood stadium yeah it was like it was like the first person that saw us like right
no way yeah so anyway that was cool and he said keep making
your content i love your content so i don't know i'm assuming it's gene shorts um anyway so that
was fun and then yeah that that day was it's just the nfl is so wonderful because it's like a year
long thing like it's like you're always thinking about football like the nba playoffs are on it's
still like nfl headlines are dominating the news isn't that crazy people love the football yeah baseball's in full swing
but and still just NFL yeah totally um yeah Saturday was fun we did that that's fun yeah
tell me some stuff about well I can tell you more about my week if you want me to I'll tell you about
my Saturday I'll trade you okay Saturday for Saturday great I think last week I talked about
I was really excited for Saturday. Rachel and I.
Yard sale or estate sale.
Well, first we walked to Comet Coffee.
I got to show Rachel what it was like.
You posted that picture on Patreon.
Unbelievably worse than even you had described it the day,
like the week before.
Like it is so, so bad looking.
And it wasn't like I was in there thinking like,
ooh, how could I take a picture to like make this look sad?
Like that's where I was sitting and eating. And I just like pulled my phone up to my left. It was unbelievable. There was no thought that went into it.
It was unbelievable. Like it could not have been a sadder looking attempt at a, at a business.
Have you been there since? Have you been there? No, I haven't really. See, I went this morning.
I keep, I'm helping them out for you. I'm trying to keep them in business. No one is ever in there.
It is just me.
Yeah.
And the thing that you love there is the Danish,
which I told you earlier.
They don't even make,
there's no way they're having a bakery.
They're getting those from price chopper.
Dude.
So three out of three times that I've gone to comic coffee,
he'll hand me a caramel latte.
That's about 6,000 degrees on the outside.
And every time I'll say,
can I get a coffee sleeve?
And I'll go shoot.
Yes,
we have those somewhere. Like it's every time it's like-
We have those somewhere.
Those are meant to be like kept out
and he keeps like forgetting to keep them out.
And like every time it's like, shoot, yes,
let me get those out for you.
We're gonna put those very integral things
to what I need for my business.
It's like how many things should ever be out?
And it got like lids, sleeves, maybe some sweetener.
Yeah.
You know, it's like, there's like four things
to keep, napkins. Yeah. And he's like there's like four things to keep napkins.
Yeah. And he's like forgetting 20% of
what to keep out every single day.
I mean, silver
line to me is that the latte is hot
because sometimes lattes with the milk can be
cold. So good for them for making it
hot. Milk is typically kept in a cold
space. Yes. But then
when you steam the milk for
a latte, they call it a hotte latte um uh so
rachel and i walked to what did she comment coffee rachel is one of the least picky eaters i've ever
met i mean i've talked about it before she will go to a restaurant and say pick whatever you want
like i don't care you know and um it doesn't matter she'll'll say, just surprise me. And she could not drink this Americano.
Really? And Rachel is not like,
she'll like, I'll drink black coffee.
I'll drink your latte, even though it's way too sweet.
She doesn't care about it tasting good.
And she's like, this Americano is so bad.
I feel so bad.
She paid for it, so don't feel too bad,
Rachel. They should feel bad for you.
Wait, what? I mean, she paid for it,
so she said, I feel so bad. I can't drink all this. Or maybe she's feeling bad to you wait huh I mean she paid for it so she she said I feel so
bad I'm not I can't drink oh at least maybe she's feeling bad to you for paying for it
well sure yeah either way she's fine yeah uh so we did that we uh then yeah walk to so my
the sign said neighborhood sale technically so it's like oh okay multiple houses are gonna have
a garage sale so we walked like a half mile into my neighborhood haven't seen a garage open yet so like i guess
they get cleaned out yesterday i don't know what's going on was it rainy or anything no it rained no
no it wasn't it actually rained the day before so we're like this should be their day to sell
and uh we start walking around we get to like we're coming up on like kind of a cul-de-sac we
can't really see what's back there,
but we could see a garage.
I was like,
finally,
and we get all the way back there.
And when it gets within like kind of like viewing,
you know,
like when you could finally see it,
we both go,
Oh no,
because it's like,
at this point we can't turn around.
Like we were so deep in this cul-de-sac.
We got to patronize him at this point,
but it's two very old people selling about four things.
Yeah.
You know,
just like they have a card table set up, but it is a garage sale. It is a garage sale. So we are still walking up to him. And two of about four things yeah you know just like they have a card table set up
but it is a garage sale it is a garage sale so we are still walking up to them and two of the
four things they're selling are hoover vacuums from like the 70s those things hold their value
though and it was so cute because they were one the guy was such a salesman it's like you need
one for upstairs you probably don't have an upstairs vacuum do you you know we're like oh we're just
kind of shop you know it was like we went to a vacuum store and sure like this probably here
for right the vacuums yeah we got around right but it's funny because they had a they had a
rug set out and then they had shredded paper they were ready to do demonstrations for people if
need be good for them yeah it was great and so yeah it was really hard to like walk all the way
up they see us coming from a mile away.
Like here they come.
And they're just like, no, thanks.
What are they charging for these vacuum?
Like, do they think that they're still worth like actually $150 or something like that?
I don't even know what they were charging.
But yeah, I mean, it was just so funny to think about like their ignorance, maybe towards
some technological advances.
Like if I showed them my cordless Dyson vacuum
that weighs four pounds,
I mean, that guy's head would explode.
Oh, dude.
Or what about the Roomba
that literally can GPS itself around your house?
Yeah, this dude should see an electric car.
I think he would pee his pants.
Yeah, seriously.
So yeah, he was really big on the Hoover vacuum
and trying to sell that.
But it was fun
it's good time and then i walked back to my house uh i get cat called from across the street what
define cat called i don't know this girl just said my name but she goes hey you jake i was like whoa
and so rachel and i walk across the street she's like i love your videos no this woman like lives
across the street from me.
Like across, like right there?
Pretty much, like as close to across as you can.

He's like,
yeah.
South Irland park.
No,
I was like,
even his last,
yeah,

You know,
I'm like trying to help him out, but they were so excited. And I was like, not name is thomas maybe that's throwing you off you know i'm like trying to help him out but they were so excited and i was like not not really ah i think i would have
let him have it i would have just i know i would have just been like oh yeah i don't know i wouldn't
have broken it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
so how long is humidity so uh you know neighborhood sale that's a load of crap you guys got an
upstairs vacuum i know we can get one uh but no they were really fun it was cool and so uh that's
great so you got fans down the street yeah and it was funny they're like yeah this neighborhood's

um have you met roscoe yet uh and i was like that's gonna be
a dog right yeah like he's our little uh bernie's mountain dog come here roscoe no uh they were i
was like no but my roommate and i have played it so isaac had filled me in on this like months ago
but basically uh just for the podcast i just know there's a guy he lives two houses over from me his
name is roscoe and i know him because we played in a chicken and pickle pickleball league with him
back in 2020 really we met this guy and he was really just like fun and exuberant and see the
one that uh had like all caps like drinks party or whatever like i don't know about all caps oh
i think that was the house right next door to us where like the only things at the party were
different types of alcohol yeah yeah okay i don't know if that was roscoe's house but uh learn that that's two houses down from me is roscoe the guy
in this pickleball league with us pretty happening street yeah not bad good for you and then they
said that the basketball court is being renovated into a pickleball court i said that's probably
because roscoe i bet he got him yeah really doing that and then they were talking they're like yeah

to paramount plus the only way we go home is together from new season now streaming exclusively
on paramount plus let's go back to uh uh garage sales real
quick okay i think i think after listening to you my house is not conducive to a garage sale it's
it's on like almost too busy of some streets and they're not as walkable mine is conduce
yours is very conduce i think we should do like a monthly garage sale and i think it doesn't even
have to be successful good this is a good start well i think this is like this is like a monthly garage sale and i think it doesn't even have to be successful good this is
a good start well i think this is like this is like a gary v thing in me or something i don't
know i feel like gary v would say something like this but like i think we should do a garage sale
every single uh month to hone in on our salesman skills oh okay this is like uh yeah yeah yeah i
do garage sale gosh um but we we don't put any prices on anything.
Everything's negotiable.
Everything is negotiable.
And we just learn how to-
Take my house, take my lawn.
Sure.
For the right price, I might.
You know what I mean?
Like, yeah, you want those blades of grass?
How much?
How much?
And just be comfortable having a little bit of a dissension between people and just seeing
how it goes.
I think that could really help
our salesmanships. I like that. I'm not going to talk about this too much because we're going to
talk about this later. But last night at dinner, there was kind of an issue with something I
ordered. And the waitress was like, oh, did you not like it? And I say, I did not. And Caitlin,
my sister, even goes like, good for you. I was like, I know I'm getting better. I left out the
think. So I think, yeah, garage sale would be so be good we could make more what are the types of sentences that pam challenges gave to do
in the office oh like definitive sentence basically yeah whatever it is yeah i think we need to be
better at that yeah no i think no like maybe no like that is the price i can't do any lower i
can't do any lower i can't no way i got a wife and kids that i want someday non-negotiate sorry
and i can't i can't be in the NHL with a wife and kids.
Um, I mean, I think it did pretty well.
I'm on a yacht.
Just combining a couple of quotes there.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Hey, okay.
Good garage sale idea.
Saturday.
That was Saturday for you.
You're going to get, that was, uh, then.
Oh no, you pickleballed.
Oh yeah.
And then a pickleball tournament.
Um, it was fun playing in the middle of a tornado.
I don't know if you ever played pickleball in a Um, it was fun playing in the middle of a tornado.
I don't know if you ever played pickleball in a tornado, but it's not bad.
Um, ball has some crazy movement.
I know, I know you were kind of thinking like, it'll kind of even like the playing field a little bit.
Did it?
No.
Uh, the, the main thing that was a bummer was that like, we get there at, we're kind
of running late in the email said like, check in at 1255, your games will be at one.
So I'm like trying to scarf down some55. Your games will be at one.
So I'm like trying to scarf down some Panda.
I eat like half of it. I go check in.
I'm like, hey, you know, team triplet Cooper here.
I was like, just a curiosity.
Are games going to start on time?
She's like, oh, yeah.
I was like, OK, great.
Hit up Rachel.
Hey, get here as soon as you can.
They said games are going to start any second.
And next thing you know, it's 115.
It's 130.
It's 145.
We haven't played yet.
My man wish i would
have that panic before i got cold yeah so so we lost our first two games we got out of that
tournament as quick as possible and we weren't done to like 330 you know i was like i mean this
wish this could happen in 20 minutes yeah really it's kind of the worst like double worst because
it's a scenario it's like you waited so long and you're finally playing and then like you're so
cold that you just yeah you just lose really quick yeah okay like all
right we're done well um yeah so it was a little bit of our saturday but i feel like usually those
tournaments are like round robin like you get to play four six games you know you'd think yeah
you'd think that this one was just elimination it was just like sorry you're on a bracket sorry
game over thanks for coming thanks for the money okay yeah you paid though right yeah uh we did pay so
and then oh derek just posted our jean shorts video should we go let's go comment on it right
now live and you guys can go back and read it okay okay okay okay this is fun this is the uh
we we changed it from small town liars oh yeah pathological liars be like
what a thumbnail from Big D.
Thumbnails to me are so funny.
I'm starting to get really into caring about our thumbnails.
I think they're more important.
That's what I hear.
They're not important to me personally.
They're like the outros to you.
Yes, dude.
Oh, wow.
Nine comments already.
I'm going to talk for a little bit while you think of your comment and
trade off.
There's nine comments.
I'm going to,
people love commenting first.
I'm going to comment 10th.
Did it great.
I was going to say the rest of my Saturday was spent playing a new board
game,
uh,
with the Hoagland family,
Luke Hogan.com.
Yes.
Uh,
also the pecs were there.
Oh yeah.
Rachel and I were there.
Isaac,
uh,
wits and wagers. Uh, I doncs were there. Oh, yeah. Rachel and I were there. Isaac. Wits and Wagers.
I don't know if you guys have played it.
Basically, you just take educated guesses and then bet on it.
I was loving it.
Oh, really?
It was so fun.
Yeah.
What do you bet?
So it's basically like a bank account to start.
You're given like some free bets that you get back after every round, no matter what.
I love free bets.
You can turn free bets into money that is then like losable oh interesting and so tell me tell me a little more of the details
of that so the the prompt that everyone gets asked would be something like um there's always a number
yeah always something yeah yeah numerical so well here's one that i remember off the top of my head
it's like how many shark attacks happen worldwide per year and so everyone writes down secretly their number what they think and then you put it face down the
middle and it's like all right everyone's got their answer in one two three you reveal it
and then you put these answers in order from smallest to biggest no matter what the question
is okay and then based off that oh that that betting odds that that alone is funny to me like
the idea the smallest the biggest because i'm sure there's some big discrepancies sometimes that's so funny it's like the answers
to be like 8 14 24 18 000 it's like oh that one was luke luke is notorious for just like over
bidding everything okay but then you know if you think it's so then you're betting where you think
the answer lies based on everyone else's guesses and the odds go up the close the further out you
get from like the bell curve essentially okay um
so it's really fun it's just a game of like numbers and like i said everything about it is
an educated guess so there's no there's no prize for guessing it right the first time no you can
also there's a little bonus involved if like your answer was correct straight up correct or like
closest closest oh cool yeah okay i like this one so for instance yeah see if you can yeah just that
one that i remember how many shark attacks happen worldwide per year.
See that,
this is the kind of stuff I'm so bad at.
See,
this is why it makes the game fun.
And that's why I think it'd be so funny because I think it'd be like,
who wrote that down?
Yeah,
dude,
you should have seen some of Isaac's answers because he would have,
he would be like writing on his little card.
He'd be like,
okay,
actually that's ridiculous.
I can't write that down.
Okay.
That would be ridiculous. And then he, so he would erase and write a new number and then his new
number was like insane that's the thing like like i here let me just talk to you like verbally
through my process right now shark attack my initial like answer was like 15 000 and then i
was like that that's way too high obviously and so then i was like, that's way too high, obviously. And so then I was like, maybe it's like 600.
And each of those seem like they could be right.
But I think my official guess is going to be lower than,
well, what constitutes a shark attack?
Sorry. All you get is this one sentence.
So you really don't know the definition.
Okay.
And I'm going to go a little bit higher because I think shark attack,
I bet people get bit by sharks every once in a while. And they just like eh not bad you know so yeah um my original answer was gonna be
624 okay uh new answer is going to be one and a half of that so that's you know 312 yep 936 936
yeah 936 is my answer okay if you guys want to know the right answer,
check in the comment section of Pathological Liars.
I just commented it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
But I will ask you some other ones
that I will reveal to everyone on the podcast.
Really?
No, we need to do this more often.
I like this.
I like the like, you like you know yeah check out
dude wits and wagers is fun and because really because when you get it right like i think i
was pretty close on this one and i just feel like a genius even though i mean it could have been
anything like the question before this i was off by 10 000 but this one like dude i was so close
i'm so smart okay scott got a lot right as well oh scott um okay this is a fun one uh what is the diameter of earth no no no no no
this is what is the diameter this is exposing how dumb i am with this kind of stuff this is
another one of those things where it's like it doesn't matter it doesn't matter and so i'm not
storing that kind of information in my brain i have no idea we're talking miles yeah let's go miles oh you do it in light years so just point zero zero
zero my years around zero one um dude dude i i don't know uh i don't i'm really sorry guys i
want to play this game with you for real i'm This is going to be funny. 300,000.
300,000.
Shut up.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Without taking.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Diameter.
Which one?
That's the.
That's.
What?
What's this?
All the way around.
Circumference.
What's circumference?
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
Circumference would be like the distance around the earth diameter is like from from pole to pole essentially
Oh pole pole pole to pole like straight like as the crow flies through the earth's crust. Oh that I meant
16,000 okay nice. Well, you were probably thinking you got radius can use a diameter because actually 8,000 is it?
Yeah, you were thinking 8,000 was the radius. 8,000 is the diameter.
300,000.
Idiot.
Give me like how many states are in America. Give me that one.
How many states are in America?
50. That was good. Is that right on? Yeah. Let's go. Wow, that's crazy.
What is the population of Melbourne, Australia?
Melbourne. Melbourne.
Did somebody read this as Melbourne and you're
like, Melbourne, you idiot.
No, this is just, I'm.
Hey, new question.
Hey.
Who here doesn't know how to pronounce Melbourne?
Who's never been to Australia.
Who's never touched a koala with chlamydia, mate.
Okay.
So Lewis, that was from an episode we did in the truck on the way to Texas.
Yeah.
The population of Melbourne is less than you think.
I mean, it's a big city.
It's the second biggest in Australia.
And it is 1.1 million people.
I like the answer or the accent.
3.5.
Really?
Good for them.
A lot of Aussies. Is it the the biggest is it bigger than sydney
no way no no no no ray really i don't know i don't know sydney australia pop so i just found
some weird uh website that was giving me those answers but i will say wits and wagers 3 okay
nice the questions were like even more fun because it's like some of you do feel like okay i can
figure this out rachel was so funny because she would show her work sometimes so it'd be like
what's the most amount of miles someone has ran in a day and so rachel would show her work on her
tiny little car she's like all right let's say that i don't know average seven mile this many
bathroom breaks okay and she would show the entire equation and then it was like what's the wait no
one can see what the answer is um see i like that i think i think that's a little more calculated to me than just like, I have no idea how many
miles are in America.
How am I supposed to know the earth?
I think you could somewhat figure that out based on like how long it takes to fly from
certain places.
But I don't know that.
I don't still take forever.
Yeah.
Either way.
Fun game.
That's fun.
Thank you.
What else cracked us up?
Oh, I remember there was a question and it said how many like as of 2018 how many female ceos uh were in the fortune 500 like
companies so we're all trying to think somebody do more than 500 and no rachel just put not enough
which is great so wits and wages all All right. All right. All right.
That was my Saturday.
Let's play it sometime for Catherine's birthday.
Oh yeah.
It's coming up.
Wits and wages.
Okay.
Let's see Sunday.
Oh,
let's just go back and forth.
Hey,
Sabbath.
Yeah.
Went to church and then Sunday.
Oh,
I mean,
this is,
this is not that important,
but like I had the, one of the greatest naps
of my life on Sunday afternoon naps.
Yeah.
It was wonderful.
Catherine and Hattie went to Costco to shop and Hattie was really pumped to get samples.
I think Costco would be a fun word to say in Australian accent at Costco.
Yeah.
How'd that feel?
If I just don't, I'm not confident.
Say Joey.
Joey.
Yeah.
From Costco.
Dingo.
Oh, from Costco. Wish they had some dingo oh from course i had some dingo me they got any dingo
samples over at costco um but anyway they they left and went to costco and i was in charge of
rose and bow bow was sleeping and rose was sleeping but it's like you never know if she's
gonna sleep for five minutes or like she's going to be down for the count.
OK.
I mean, she's supposed to be kind of sleeping.
Yeah.
And dude, it was the quietest my house has been in so long.
It felt quieter.
It felt quieter.
Catherine and I, for the month of May, we're not watching TV.
Cool.
TV turnoff month.
Yeah.
Is that a thing?
Did you guys ever not have TV turnoff week back in the day?
Yeah, we kind of did, dude.
I don't know if we called it that but it was like no tv this week and i remember one
time crying to my parents because i was like i want to watch tv dragon tales it was like okay
this is probably why they do this um this is a problem anyway but usually like even if i'm taking
a nap like i have tv on the background but it's quiet i mean it was dead quiet and they both slept
for like two and a half hours let me ask you just how quiet
it was quieter than
I have a storm
yeah
quieter than
back corner of a library
really
quieter than
like a
mouse scurrying
down like really thick carpet
yeah wow yeah that was a quiet house it was very okay wow i like to run people by
uh those uh measurements those are good ones i mean those are three really quiet things
and man it was quiet it was quieter than that like katherine called me and i had adulthood when i had woken up two minutes before um she called me which was just a wonderful you
had time to be up and so i answered and i was like hey baby how you doing you know i was like

kind of asleep and i called napping i was like yeah i had the best nap oh i thought you're just
gonna be like no i'm in charge of the children. No, I would not be napping.
No, I was unashamedly.
I don't take enough naps to be ashamed of them anymore.
Okay, good.
When I take them, I'm taking them, baby.
I'm taking them.
Anyway, but then Sunday night, we had my cousins over for pizza.
We're trying to do a Sunday night pizza night.

and rachel and harrison and abby went golfing together oh really double date golfing yeah it
was really nice sunday how does uh abby compare to rachel i mean not not trying to compare but
like who's the better golfer um i would say both fun to be around uh yeah both super nice they're both he was a tall
guy they're both nice girls um no it was a lot of fun we had a good time and uh i remember what i
did to incident oh i think i was editing a video and then yeah go start our stuff whatever um
that was fun yeah but uh speaking of golf
something happened at some point last week i think it was like right after we recorded the podcast but
i went to golf at this course um just one afternoon really quickly um went by myself
and uh i guess before this i should back up so one of my friends who i've talked about golf
youtuber um he posted a video when he was in Kansas City like two weeks ago.
His name's Garrett Clark.
His channel is called GM Golf.
And they were making this video.
It was kind of a fun little like vlog.
Like not only were they playing golf,
but it was like, I'm going to pretend like all my clubs got stolen
or like I'm starting over from golf.
Like how cheap can I get clubs?
Like, can I make a whole set and play around a golf,
you know, and this much money?
So you're, you know, you're seeing them haggle
with people, whatever.
Interesting.
And then he goes to this cheap course, which is where I was going.
It's cheap and easy.
It's a great confidence booster shot of 77.
So talk about confidence booster.
I totally know what that means.
You know, 72 is poor.
Okay.
Actually 70 there.
So that's point of clarification.
72.
It really is very easy.
But anyway, so Garrett goes there.
As soon as he goes into the pro shop in his video, there's this guy there who like recognizes
them and is really cool.
And as part of the video, I think Garrett was like, let's actually pretend my clubs
are gone or whatever.
So he gives that guy like his old, like brand new set of like Mizuno golf clubs.
So it's like this video is everything.
It's got a vlog.
It's got this.
It's got giveaways.
It's got golf.
So it's very cool.
And so I wasn't even thinking about I go to that same golf course and I recognize that
guy who got the clubs given to him.
It's like, OK, this will be kind of cool.
I'm going to like recognize him from the video.
And like, you know, that'll probably make his day.
I'm like, dude, you're the guy from the video.
You know, did he literally actually get the clubs?
Yeah.
Garrett just gave him like a whole like brand new set of like Mizuno irons that are really
expensive.
And so I'm waiting for him to get done with the conversation i go to say something to him he interrupts me he goes
dude love your tiktoks and i was like oh i was gonna say that i was gonna tell you i've seen
you in videos yeah so it's kind of really cool and so i was like dude that's so funny i was like i
so i'm friends with garrett i saw you in the video like that was so awesome like a kid like
is it like a high school guy so i yeah he i ended up asking him afterwards he's 19 okay and so we get talking
and he's like yeah he's like that was so cool I still can't believe that happened that was like
the coolest things ever happened to me yada yada um and he's like but yeah dude I uh I love the
stuff I see from you and you used to do k-life right I was like what how what else do you know
about me I thought yeah I'm fully prepared to have all this like these surprises for him and now he keeps surprising me
one after another and he's like yeah i think i went to that a couple times back when i was like
an eighth grade or something i think i went to that i was like dude that's crazy oh he's like
yeah i went to east and um so that was really fun uh i called him the wrong name that was cool
um the old clayton calvin mix up. Oh, yeah.
And then it happens.
But he was like, no, dude, literally, like I woke up this morning.
One of the first things I saw was your guys' Walmart and Wall Street video.
I was like, that's so crazy.
He's like, this is where YouTubers come to golf.
I guess so.
This is this is celebrity course.
So, yeah, that was pretty cool.
That was a fun.
So if you're a Kansas City golfer, go to Painted Hills.
And if there's a tall 19 year old looking kid named Clayton or Calvin, mention me or Garrett.
Is it Painted Hills?
Painted Hills.
Okay.
All right.
I'll check it out.
All right.
There you go.
This was on Monday.
I don't know when this was.
Okay.
Last week.
Just last week.
Yeah.
Well, on Monday, I got recognized.
I mean, we're just getting recognized.
Every day, dude.
This was probably my...
I'm trying to remember all the times I've gotten recognized.
This is one of my favorites for sure.
So I went to Fayetteville, Arkansas, um, cool to deliver some stuff to my friend who owns a, um, clothing store there called Walker brothers.
I made eight different tables for their new store or they, their newly renovated store
anyway.
And I was delivering them and I get there and I'm unloading all the tables and it is like pouringated store. Anyway. And I was delivering them. And I get there. And I'm unloading all the tables.
And it is like pouring down rain.
Yeah.
Rough day to drive.
Rough day.
And deliver.
Yeah.
Not a fun day to like drive a trailer.
Yeah.
And like.
Yeah.
Pouring down rain.
Inclement wetter.
Wetter.
I mean, that thing is inclement wetter.
I tell you what.
I mean, would you rather have a dryer or wetter outside?
There's nothing better than inclement wetter. I mean, would you rather have a dryer or wetter outside? There's nothing better than inclement wetter.
Go on.
Did you get a new sweater?
No, I was the sweater.
So it was kind of humid, I think.
I mean, it's probably 60 degrees and rainy.
And I think...
Get the excuses out now.
No, no.
Go ahead.
And I mean, these tables are made of all natural, real, nice ashwood.
Nice ashwood.
I mean, this is nice ashwood.
And more excuses.
Keep going.
It's humid.
The tables are heavy.
You probably weren't as hydrated as you should have been.
I was wearing.
No, I think I was too hydrated.
Apparently, I don't even know the end of the story.
So no, the end of the story is that I sweat like a pig.
I mean, literally, like my entire shirt was like
drenched what shirt was it it was a comfort color shirt that i buy hawaii in hawaii oh okay i'm
trying to imagine a pig in that that is a lot of sweat think about it yeah boris yeah um pig is
wetter than ever and i wore jeans because i was trying to look kind of professional i guess
totally totally did i mean like i bet it was past my past my knees sweating like through my jeans.
Whoa.
Like it was bad.
Lower half sweat.
And like, yeah, dude, it was a lot.
You're disgusting.
Oh, sick.
Dude, that's like a really bad wetter sweater.
And I mean, I'm in his store like and I had not fully assembled the tables like I was
assembling them on site.
Oh, assembly required.
Yeah.
And so like and I think that was probably I was a little bit I don't like people watching.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't like doing stuff in front of people.
And so I think that was the extra like nervous.
You're not an exhibitionist.
You like a private primetime, not pay-per-view.
And so I'm delivering this and I'm sweating.
And this is like like Thomas's store like a suits and like very like high.
It's really nice.
It's a nice place.
A lot of mahogany things.
And so that in my head,
I'm like,
I feel,
I feel bad that I'm like,
like kind of like lowering the class of this place.
I have wet jeans.
I mean,
I'm sweating like crazy.
I'm like,
I'm like apologizing.
I'm like,
I'm sorry.
And I was like,
dude,
it's just the rain.
And I'm like,
I wish it were the rain. I feel it coming out of me it's not the rain it's raining out my pores and
so I'm putting this stuff together and there's this woman and her husband and they're like you
know high school college age looking son there and I hear Thomas my friend who um you know helps
I think he runs the store his dad owns owns a store, whatever. Who's really, really goofy, funny guy. I hear Thomas go say something like, yeah,
have you ever heard of the ghost runners podcast? And I, I just always like, kind of like roll my
eyes when people do that. Cause it's like, no one just like randomly hears a podcast. Like,
it's just not a thing that like, you don't just like randomly start listening to a podcast usually.
And so I'm like, there's no way these people are listening to my podcast. And, and I just kind of laughed and like looked up and, uh, Thomas goes, this woman says that
you look like the guy in a Trey Kennedy's videos.
And I, I, I was like, I was like, wait, wait, what?
And she's like, yeah, you kind of sound like him too.
And I'm like, well, I, I, I am him.
I, it's the same guy.
That is me.
I didn't know what to say.
I'm like drenched and sweating all over this like table.
And I'm like, yeah, that's me.
That's me.
You want a hug?
Yeah.
She's like, no.
She like took a picture with me.
And like, yeah, like she's like, my son's going to freak out.
Like I'm going to take a picture.
And I'm like, cool.
She's like, we think you guys are awesome.
And we love all your stuff.
We watch all your stuff.
That's got to be a little confusing for her, right? Like this is influencer, this YouTuber,
what's he doing sweating in this? I explained, I was like, yeah, so my, my full-time job is a
woodworker. I know Thomas, I'm actually, I live in Kansas city. We all live in Kansas city. And
you know, knew Thomas from back when he worked with my wife and whatever, blah, blah, blah.
Was born and raised in a Christian home. I, I'd share for KU. I go to, I went to K state.
I grew up a KU fan.
For the Christian community,
yeah, KU is my heart.
I know it's confusing.
My dad was on the news.
That's probably where you saw me.
You know, go rock, chalk.
So anyway, that was awesome.
It was so crazy to hear,
you look like this guy.
And I'm like, well,
yeah, I look like him because I am him.
Turns out, it's myself.
Yeah, turns out I win.
Yeah, it's me so um anyway that was that
was really cool and it was not fun to deliver all that stuff in the rain but it was really fun to
like i really felt for you because monday night we had basketball and you're like yeah just got
back from fave all it's like oh my gosh it clicked with me all at once like dude you've been driving
in the rain all day that sucks i was i was up slash adam early that day that really stinks had to go rent the u-haul bring it back to my house we all know how well daddy
backs up a trailer so i'm gonna post it on youtube or on patreon i i like chronicled the whole thing
oh did you yeah to the point where i like need to like edit it because it's like 15 minutes long
it took me forever uh because it was like i was trying to back it in right as like everyone was
leaving for work and so there were so many times where like three cars on each side were waiting for me.
And so I was like, I'm just going to do a lap real quick.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry.
But anyway, yeah, finally got down there and it took a while to install them all.
And then I got lunch with the guy, Peter Coring, one of my favorite people.
Love it.
Yeah.
Got home at like I think it was like 8 45 by the time i backed up the trailer
again and uh like katherine was like so excited to see me she's like on the phone with her mom
and i'm like i ate food really quick i read to hattie you know and i was like katherine i'm sorry
i gotta go she's like i could tell like she had totally forgotten that i had a basketball game at
9 30 and it was like one of those looks of like i'm so i'm so disappointed i'm so sad it's like almost upset at herself for forgetting for
allowing herself to be excited yeah i think yeah because it's like it's one of those mental like
she and i felt so bad for her because it was like mentally i know she was thinking like if i can just
get until like brad gets home like 8 30 or whatever then we're fine then i can relax he can
take over he can hold rosie and like and then i was just literally
like in and out i'll be back in like hour and a half yeah like didn't even really have a conversation
with her because she was on the phone like dang that is sad and so i felt really bad for her but
that's true yeah rachel and i talk all the time about like expectations they really are so
important it's everything like communicating them managing them like everything not having them too
high yeah i think it's i think it's the answer to so many issues within whatever relationships
and like work, like work relationships, any kind of relationship, totally romantic or
not.
Like, it's just like, if you can understand where everyone's coming from and you guys
have the same like roles and responsibilities and expectations of your head, you're good.
So I think it's important.
And when you forget those expectations, boy, do they seem upset?
What a downer.
Anyway, but basketball, Brad almost took a charge.
Even the ref made a comment.
He's like, man, if he would have stood still, he had it.
That was the that was the time.
Like, I feel like most of the time I stand still and they just run right around me.
This time I stood there for a second and he was coming in hot.
And I said, no, thank you.
Yeah, because these guys were big enough to where you could have taken a charge and it
not looked weird.
Yeah, this guy, that one guy was real big. Yeah. Wr his body yep yep no not wristbands uh wonder woman yeah wonder woman headband i kind of sarcastic after
the game i was like dude sick headband he's like yeah you like the wonder woman i was like uh yeah
i mean why that one uh but, we got beat again.
Are we one in three now?
I think two and three.
Okay.
Yeah, it was, we were down a lot at halftime and we almost came back.
Yeah, I was trying to tell Rachel about it.
I was like, it was kind of fun because I swear we were down by 20 as soon as the game started.
It was like, it started 20 to zero.
It's like, how did this happen?
It was unbelievable.
They were making everything.
And so it was kind of those things like, let's just try and not and not get blown out like let's just try to keep it competitive for them
and the next thing you know we're down by like seven we're down by four it's like oh my gosh
yeah this is so fun yeah and then we lost by 10 yeah we're down by 14 and a half and got
to within four and we're like okay it was really fun for a while nope not anymore i made a three
in transition i haven't done that ever in my life that was awesome yeah yeah becoming selfish it's
really fun it's really fun to make shots and not pass it anymore yeah i'm done passing i set screens
and i shoot that's it there you go um but yeah no yeah that was monday um let's see what else
let's let's do blanks the week after this okay so one other thing i wanted to mention was uh i am getting well i'll talk about
that later but i went to golf galaxy uh so it's going to get me a new golf club potentially let
me guess which one a three h whoa yeah actually dude lisa matthew again i was i was about to say
i don't even know if you know this club exists yep Yep. That's one of the ones that top golf. Oh, that's why I have it. Do you know what the H
stands for? Hybrid? Of course. Yes. You're electric. 2019 ref four. Yeah. Um, yeah,
that's great. I was like, cause my hybrid Peter gave to me and my three wood Isaac gave to me,
which is great to get free clubs. Yeah. But every time I play with them, it's like the bomb
takes around two people were like, Whoa, what do we have here because they're like the paint is rusting off
it's like chipping away okay it looks like it's splatter painted yeah so i was like hey maybe you
know whatever so can i can i ask a technical question as i'm getting more into golf yeah 3h
i feel like that's like one that you use when you're basically driving but you don't have a t
is that correct oh man I forgot my T's.
No, no, no.
Guess I'll use a hybrid.
No, no, no.
Like, let's say it's like a 500 yard hole or something like that.
And so you drive once and you drive it 250 or I don't know, 200, whatever it is.
Like, it's like when you're trying to hit it really far, but you don't.
But you're in the fairway.
Well, yes, exactly.
Yes.
People call them fairway woods.
That'd be like another name for them. OK. Yeah. Or just a time a time where it's like hey there's a creek that's like 280 yards out i
can't hit driver here but i still want to get as far ahead as i can you know a hybrid might be your
230 club and the three was like your 260 club or whatever gotcha it's just different yardages um
but so this old man at golf galaxy comes up to me and he's like you need any help today and i was like
you know what this will be let's let him in let's let him help me he'll enjoy it and honestly i
don't know a ton either maybe he could educate me i was like you know what i do it's an exciting day
i'm getting me a new golf club because i figured they would like that like oh this guy is ready to
buy i don't have to convince him anything yeah he wants me to pick one out it's like it's like
almost like tell me what to buy exactly i was like money on please if i work the sales floor i think
it'll be so fun to know like oh i get to pick out a club for this guy right and so it's like i want
a three hybrid um but i don't know a ton about like gear or shafts or loft you know like we'll
love some help he's like all right and so what he does for the next five to ten minutes maybe just
five minutes is he walks me around the store and when we get to every brand so it'd be like all right so these are the ping clubs and
these are good these are good clubs um he'll talk about those for a little bit and then he goes
all right now these are tailor-made and i'll tell you these are good yeah i like these he's almost
everything's good now we got calloways i had a buddy who used a calloway and what do you think
of him he liked it he thought it was good okay um and then over here we got, uh, we got this brand now. Um,
you know, I just saw a guy the other day come in and buy one of these and I think he's really
going to like it. These are really good. Yeah. He really thought that those were
turns out old men who are really into golf, not the most entertaining people in the world.
I really thought he might like, I don't't know ask a single question like well what do you normally shoot what are you looking for you know shaft
straight any like technical questions like these are good these are good if you need something
pretty good these are pretty good uh-huh and then what was the cherry on top he's like you know i
can actually i could let you hit with some of these if you want if you want to try them out
hey sure why not he's like all right just take these and i was like they're like the
brand new ones he's like yeah so i'm going up they have like a place to hit balls in there
but they still have like the the magnetic like security tag like the ring around the shaft
they have the plastic around the club head so are you able to grip it so yeah it was still fine for
the most part but it was just so funny just like the sound of this plastic, and then it's coming off.
I was just like,
I don't know if I'm allowed to do this.
The plastic is like shards are coming off?
He's just letting me,
and then he's like hooked it up to this simulator.
He's like, man, that ball's not going very far.
I'm like, yeah,
because it's got a magnetic strip
and there's plastic on it probably.
I was just so confident
I wasn't supposed to be doing that.
Oh, man.
So anyway, I end up picking one out oh and I
just I forgot about this I go to check out and I end up getting a club that this guy didn't talk
to you about I end up just kind of doing a google search in the corner and like okay this one looks
good and it was a club that this guy didn't talk to about at all and so the cashier was like and
did anyone help you out today and dude I was not prepared for that question i got so awkward i was like ah i i guess
i kinda i don't know he doesn't know i'm buying this club but like a guy talked to me i don't
know it sounds like they're on commission right i guess so okay that guy if that guy's working
on commission dude you step it up well he didn't close the deal whatsoever yeah he's just like
whatever he's like these are good i mean He's just like, whatever. He's like, these are good.
I mean, the plastic, I like the plastic, the plastic's good.
You can't go wrong.
Anything we sell is good.
You know, what can I say?
The, the, I mean, this one, it'll, it'll go straight and far and, um, it'll go good.
It'll be good.
If, if you, if you like hybrids, then this is what that is.
I mean, this is just a golf thing.
I think like what, tell me what Garrett's brand is called.
What did he use this?
Mizuno.
No.
What's what's his golf channel?
GM golf.
What?
Oh, the group.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
That's all.
That's all golf is.
It's just, it's just good.
Like golf's not the most exciting sport.
It's just good.
It's good.
You're good.
I'm good.
It's like, it's like people that are like Oklahoma is okay. Like that's like their thing that they say on exciting sport. It's just good. It's good. You're good. I'm good. It's like, it's like people that are like, Oklahoma is okay.
Like, that's like their thing that they say on like, yeah, it's okay.
Like, it's just okay.
Golf.
Good.
That's like bowling.
It sucks.
That's what they unanimously say.
Life's a bowl.
Suck it up.
Good golf is good.
Like literally like that's like the most popular golf channel is called good.
Good. Good. Good. Yeah. So anyway, it's just fine uh that's so funny yeah you're so you were like i
mean that guy kind of did i was just not prepared because but you were kind of like what if this guy
comes what if he finds out thanks me for like by this is like you didn't even mention which is
crazy because it sounds like you mentioned everything kind of yeah we didn't really go
over i started buying a callaway club and that was like the only brain he didn't like walk me by and talk to you about huh because i would ask my friends
i'd ask like nolan i ask uh luke hogan scott and they all said callaways are great for hybrids and
woods and then that was the one brain this guy never talked to me about so it's like weird and
then that's what i end up going with so interesting i was like he didn't really help me but he's a
sweet old man i told isaac that story he goes that's gary i was like you don't know he's like
no that sounds exactly like gary that's what. I was like, you don't know. He's like, no, that sounds exactly like Gary.
That's what Gary does.
I was like, how do you know this guy?
Have you been in this situation before?
And thanks for warning me, by the way.
Yeah, these are good.
Oh, pants.
Pants are good.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, think about getting pants, maybe.
If it gets warm, you can do like short pants.
They call them shorts.
Those are good.
I wear t-shirts.
Those are good.
Those are good.
I had a buddy who wore t-shirts.
I had a buddy, and he had a buddy, actually, also, that wore t-shirts. Those are good. Those are good. I had a buddy who wore t-shirts. I had a buddy and he had a buddy actually also that wore t-shirts.
They would wear shirts together.
All good.
All good.
I say, hey, thanks for all the man.
He goes, it's all good.
It's all good.
I know it is, Gary.
It's all good, brother.
That's great, man.
Well, I'm glad.
Yeah.
We went to Topgolf, me and Luke Hoagland without you.
Yeah.
I proposed to the team Monday after game.
I'm like, guys, idea of what we think. Topgolf tomorrow night. Next thing Hoagland without you yeah I proposed to the team Monday after game like guys idea what do we think Topgolf tomorrow night next thing you know there's a there's
a coup developing without me oh whatever the hope was that we were always gonna go Tuesday morning
I know I just couldn't train our shooting I did talk to him I was like dude you got to get down
on this Tuesday morning thing what do you think uh I think once the tour is over maybe yeah more
flexibility yeah we're not even gonna be but, um, so we'll see.
But yeah, you and Luke golfed.
It was fun.
Yeah.
I, I played decently well last week when we all golfed together.
You bent the knees.
I bent the knees.
Bent those freaking knees.
And you guys were all kind of in your world and I was with Sammy.
And I think I just like had some relaxed strokes.
I think through 18, we did a whole 18.
I was like 17 over.
And I was like, I'm, I'm okay with that. I'm doing pretty well. Uh a whole 18. I was like 17 over. I was like, I'm,
I'm okay with that. I'm doing pretty well. Uh, this time I think I was 30 over. So kind of,
kind of root for improvement, but don't you feel that fire a little bit? It's like, I got to improve. I got to get back to where I was. A million percent. Yeah, dude. A million percent. Yeah.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's so fun. Cause what do you want to be? You want to be good. I want to be
good. I want to be good. I want to be good enough to be like,
Hey,
is,
is,
is Brad like,
is he a golfer?
And he's like,
Hey,
he's pretty good.
He's good.
Did you grow up playing?
No,
but he's good.
He's good.
Luke asked me like right when I got there,
he's like,
so are you like watching tons of golf videos and like getting really,
really into it?
And I was like,
I have not watched a single golf video.
Never.
He's like not even good.
Good.
Not even good.
Good. Like two goods. Whoa goods whoa um no but but he tried to give me some some pointers I'll say uh
his one pointer that he gave me which is I'm sure very valid about like he's like put your hand get
your hands in front or something like that oh sure uh didn't translate nearly as well as the ones
that you give me because I think you're just a little more like hey I remember I can dumb it
down a year ago when I was in brad's shoes you know whatever like
i can i can tell you i remember thinking that like six months into pickleball i was like i
should like be training people who are just starting pickleball because everything is so
fresh in my mind with the mistakes and everything i made and that's what i feel with golf right now
too yeah it's like i know everything you're going through that's what i love about like that's how i
not not anymore but like i can still remember woodworking like that. And so like, yeah, I get excited to help people.
Like, I am not like, you know, holier than thou, like, oh, you peasant.
I can't believe you didn't grow up doing these, like, you don't know any of those tools.
Like, it's like, no, I know exactly what you're feeling.
I would love to help you.
So I'd say a big difference in us is you are very good at advice across the board.
I don't feel like that's necessarily my strong suit, but I do happen to feel like
passionate about something. Then I do like giving advice, but I have to be like pretty
experienced in it. You think I'm like, what do you mean? Like I'm across the board. Like, like,
I think people like, even on your drive to Fayetteville, you got all sorts of questions
about like advice, parenting, fatherhood, woodworking. I guess parenting and fatherhood
are pretty similar. I meant like, uh, you know, like, um, marriage. Yeah. Marital questions,
podcast questions questions YouTube questions
and yeah yeah yeah you're good at like reaching
into what you've done yeah and like
making it like digestible kind of yeah
reflective yeah yeah thanks
it's fun I do enjoy that I really enjoyed
that fate but like I didn't listen to any podcast
I just I just responded to people almost the whole
way that's kind of cool yeah so
but don't don't text and drive guys
don't do it unless you're really good at it so unless like you know you're gonna be fine
unless it's like pouring down rain you're driving with the trailer all right by yourself
yeah and you're usually go to so you don't know the route
anyway well it's an easy drive okay fun drive let's do it let's do what blanks out of the week
here we go back baby um first brad would you like to start us off with bit for the week
bit for the week baby what do you got let's let's go back um 10 seconds to when we were
just talking about going to face so the week oh before that oh yeah fun drive fun drive and uh
so on the way back they definitely took me a different route.
Like I was not.
They.
Yeah.
So first of all, so the bit for the week is that logic got trumped by technology.
Basically.
Hate to see it.
You hate to see it.
So, so they were taking me a different route, so I didn't recognize everything.
But Google, I was, I was trusting Google and there's a fork in the road within Google.
I took the road. Yeah. And I took the road.
Yeah.
And it said like, continue straight,
continue straight, you know,
until like for whatever, like 10 miles.
I don't know what it said. I don't know.
It said something weird.
And there was like a sign that said,
whatever, something, something North.
And then there was a sign that was like,
something, something North.
And it said Kansas City on there.
And I thought, I said,
it doesn't tell me to go to the Kansas city way.
I was going to Kansas city, but I was just like, I was like, no, I know something like Google.
Like, I don't want to mess.
I don't want to think that I'm, I know like I would have done the same exact thing.
I, it knows Michael.
It knows.
Yes.
I was just like, and then, you know, right.
It's like you, everyone knows the feeling when you, um and then you know right it's like you everyone knows the feeling
when you um when you go the wrong way with directions in google and for a second it thinks
you're going the right way yeah then it assumes and then it like corrects itself over to where
you are then the blue line is everywhere it's like trying to make up for this and then all of a sudden
yeah i'm adding 25 minutes to my time or two five i don't know no not really but it took me a lot
longer to get home already i think because of this different route i'm sorry dude that sucks it was
rough and yeah and i felt bad for katherine and of course i get home and so i please i would like
to see a maps or a navigation app i guess you don't want to start with scratch use like google
or apple's garments api or something the, you know, map from them.
But then I would like to see it more like just spelled out more thorough because sometimes
they continue as little confusing.
It's like, yes, well, I'm on I-35 and this continues to 435.
So I take the I-35 exit like if it like it was sold out.
Sometimes highways change names.
Other times you have to take exits to stay
on that same numbered highway fair you know and it's like so what does continue mean here so i
would like to see a navigation app be like it's going to be a little confusing coming up you know
yeah stay in the middle lane yeah and you'll be fine here yeah hey put your phone down listen up
you can you can wait all right yeah i think i'd like to see something like that because
there's weather apps that have started to do that like light jacket shorts you'll be fine okay now
it's time for navigation to do the same thing or or just hear me out like if it says if you know
what city you're going to and there's a sign for it just just take it take the sign if your city's
big enough to have it on an interstate sign you'd you'd follow that probably it's one of those
things where it's like technology knows they know traffic.
They know traffic.
I would have assumed that.
And so I was like, maybe they're trying to circumnavigate me around this thing.
So I'm like, great, I'll go this way.
And then all of a sudden you see it like, like, like the map wants to try to take you
this way.
And all of a sudden it's like recalculated.
Oops, biffed it.
Dang it.
Oops, I biffed it again.
That's my biff.
My biff of the week is, well, I'll tell you who biffed it again that's my biff my biff of the week is um well i'll tell you who
biffed it not me me ranchito biffed it a couple weeks ago i didn't even bring up me ranchito but
it was week uh me and all my roommates went to dinner together and um the like someone from the
kitchen is coming by they're going hot plate hot plate hot plate next thing you know i got hot
crotch because they have dumped this thing into my lap.
OK, they have they have thrown it.
They have like tripped and fallen and just just like they've it's like they put out a
fire and the fire was in my lap and they used the the the upside down bowl to smother it.
What was in the bowl?
What's on that?
What's it was this thing that Isaac ordered, which is hilarious.
He's looking at his phone.
He goes, you guys do the Steven special. They're the, what's, what's on? It was this thing that Isaac ordered, which is hilarious. He's looking at his phone. He goes, you guys do the Steven special.
They're like, what?
I was like, I don't know.
One of my friends told me it was this thing.
So it's like this thing where it's just like grilled chicken
and fried rice and queso just on a bowl or on a plate.
Okay.
And so it was Isaac's order that just got dumped in my lap.
So you had had it wasn't
even like just rice and bean it's like queso yeah it's liquid yeah it's like a goopy substance and
it's it's so hot dude so that was a few weeks ago and you said that was kind of like uh you
compared to like dwight shrewd oh yeah earlier i was telling you yeah it's that one scene where
i don't even what is the context of that sexual harassment or something it's like he's like trying
to see if jim is like attracted to kathy and? It's like he's like trying to see if Jim is like attracted to Kathy.
And so he's like he's like a region.
Well, for slippery like he keeps like diving his hands into Jim's crotch.
The bloopers are so funny.
But that was like what this person did, like, oh, oh, oh.
And then just like right into my lap.
So I put a few weeks ago.
How'd you respond?
Sorry, I know this isn't even like the bit.
I think it was just like, whoa, you know and the biff on top of the biff was that like the waitress like runs off and i'm like
oh she's gonna get me napkins and then didn't come back until it's like time for refills what
yeah i this 100 true story is like i she must have got distracted or something so i'm just kind of
like youtube could see the kind of doing this just trying to get it off my like lap but i don't have
any napkins like you know i'd have nothing like lap but i don't have any napkins like
you know i'd have nothing to use it i don't think we had silverware like no one could even start
eating it because we didn't have silverware yet we didn't have napkins we're just waiting on
someone to come back with this oh it's a terrible experience yeah this was a bummer the food was
great that night though so it was fine i mean yeah almost every like almost all of it was lint free
off my off my jeans you know i once we got our forks, like Isaac, you know, took a big scoop.
I was going to say when Isaac first started eating out of my crotch, it was a little weird,
but I got used to it quicker than I thought I would.
I just focused on the TV.
It's even special.
Oh yeah.
The Steven special all over me.
The fact that it's queso, like for whatever reason I was thinking, it was like, you know,
fajita, like, you know like a dry rice yeah tacos and rice
or something like oh it stinks you got rice on your pants but like it's like wet food kind of
like that's like stained like creamy food yeah yeah oh my gosh and so last night me and rachel
my sister and her boyfriend brayden we're gonna do a little double date we're gonna go to skyzone
skyzone closes at 9 p.m who would have thought oh biff no 8 p.m it goes at 8 p.m okay that's why it was kind of surprising it's like
who would have thought they'd stay open later so like let's just do dinner instead my sister says
me ranchito i'm like great i got i got my bib on this week so it'll be fine um and my biff is
right off the bat uh i order a sweet tea and they bring it to me and it was like one of those like when you're
expecting just like straight up sweet tea and it's like a raspberry like tangy nope like really like
catches off guard i go whoa and that was the thing where i asked the waitress like can i just get a
water she's like did you not like it and i go i did not i was like good for you um so then i order
oh i asked for the steven special because it was good of course this waitress is like i I have been here like a month. So I was like, okay, sorry. Don't worry
about it. Don't worry about it. I'll take the Espinaca chicken enchilada or whatever. Sounds
good. Yeah. A little spinach queso drizzled all over it. Yeah. And I, it looks good. I take a
big old bite out of it. I'm like that tasted a little weird, but that's all right.
Hey, power through.
Maybe it's still got a little sweet tea in my mouth.
So take another bite.
And I'm like, dang, that's not good.
But I try to be extra sensitive.
Well, one already complained about the tea.
It's already look like a dweeb.
Yeah.
You go twice.
You have to really make it valid.
And it's the people I'm sitting next to my sister who'll eat 20 deviled eggs every Easter.
So she's a freak.
And then Rachel, who will say, surprise me at a sushi restaurant.
Okay.
So I'm like, gosh, I don't want to come across as even pickier eater.
But Rachel ordered the same thing as me.
And I was like, hey, how's your meal?
She goes, it's pretty funky.
I was like, thank you.
Also funky.
Good word to describe it.
Yeah.
So my sister, which is great.
She's like, let me try a bite.
After we both went like, this is awful.
I might have food poisoning now. She's like, well, I give it a whirl and then caitlin hit the nail on the head
because she she eats it she goes oh that cheese is really sour i was like yes that's it i couldn't
put my tongue on it other than when i did but i was like yeah it's like really sour cheese and so
me ranchito has biffed it two times in a row, either in my lap or in my mouth.
And this time you done sour cheese.
Uh, no, I'll go back.
We actually went to me ranchito this, uh, week as well.
Really?
It was for my sister's birthday.
Yeah.
We were supposed to go to sushi, but they couldn't take us that big of a party.
And so we went to me ranchito instead, which is a downgrade.
Let me tell you right now.
How was your me ranchito experience?
It was, it was very, uh, adequate. It wasn't like, whoa, this is amazing. They have these things called hot dog chimichangas for the, for the little ninos. So, so like, yeah, everyone that
works there, it's called right at the border. It's a perfect blend of both. Everyone that works
there is Mexican. Like, it's not like a Chili's where it's like, yeah, we're Mexican American.
Yeah. And it was pretty authentic. Even the clientele is pretty like hispanic i would say yeah yeah um and so i i order like i'm ordering for bo like
he'll have the chicken quesadillas and then you know she'll like and then this girl over here
she's gonna have the hot dog uh you know kids menu she's like hot dog chimichanga and i was like
uh no the hot like the hot dog children's you know i didn't know
it was called that and so i was like i was like what what is her deal and then i guess she left
i was like and she like read everything back to us and i was like is she saying chimichanga
and captain's like yeah that's how they come here they come in chimichanga had he loved it
yeah i thought it was so fun that it was like a taco with a hot dog in it that is cool
basically yeah but uh yeah overall it was a fine experience
fun times with uh my sister brought beau a kinsley royals hat that used to be her little
her sons that he grew out of and beau is obsessed with it so that's always fun you have obsessive
children that's fun yeah like beau just like hat hat you know just always wants to put it on
it's like a it's like a flat bill so he looks looks kind of like, kind of, kind of like, you know, he's got some swag to him. Um, so yeah, overall the
experience was fine. Catherine's like, you know, just like you and I, well, just like, I'm like
kind of an elitist when it comes to barbecue. Catherine's an elitist when it comes to like
Mexican restaurants. Didn't know that about her. Yeah. I mean, she's just a Texan. So she's like,
she's like, thanks. So, you know, like Jose peppers and all these places in Kansas City,
just like very mediocre.
And Miranchito, I think, is right up there for her.
She was so pumped about sushi.
She's like, oh, it's gonna be awesome.
I've been like kind of like, you know, maybe I thought about going to sushi a few days ago.
Like we could get that.
But no, like I'm going to save it.
No.
Yeah.
With the fam.
My sister texting like, actually, we can't do sushi.
And Catherine was so sad.
Te gusta Miranchito?
So maybe we'll do sushi sometime. Okay.
That's good. That's been that blank of the week.
Next we have debate of the week.
Go ahead. Okay. My debate of the week.
This is a good debate.
This is a fun debate that Rachel and I had
as we were walking around. Every debate is a fun debate.
Okay. Okay. As we
were walking around the neighborhood trying to find somebody with an open garage door,
we were having a conversation about address, like home address numbers.
And so.
You are just in the prime of your life right here, man.
Because we were like looking at a house and we were like 1-8-8-0-0.
That's a good, like that's, that's a good like house address.
And so we'd go and we'd just
talk about different numbers like what about palindrome because that was big palindrome i
think my perfect address is i think you know one two two one yeah i think i like even numbers like
i would like like 24 42 is fun okay or like 80 08 something in there oh i like i like the double
zeros in the middle. 80 0 8.
Would you ever venture out to a five numbered? Oh, sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah. I could do that.
8 0 4 0 8 1 2 3 2 1 1 2 3 2 1. Oh wait. What was the one we said? It was really fun to say.
We just kept saying it out loud. 8 2 4 2 8 2 4 2 8. That was it. 8 2 4 2 8 2 4 2 8. Okay. That's fun. Anyway. Yeah. It was just really fun because I was like yeah my old address was 9107 which was like ew i was like i know it was a really gross home address so no i like
9107 sounds terrible yeah it's 9107 though could be nice a little swagger to it yeah where do you
live 9107 cherry apple court like no no it's still not good 9107 is disgusting you think so
yeah yeah i always i always think it's interesting.
Like certain people will do like the, you know, like, oh, I live at 12480, you know,
instead of 12480.
Like 12480 West 89th, you know, whatever.
We grew up 14723.
How do you feel about that one?
14723.
That one's not great.
Oh, it's really great.
No, that one's my address.
So it's really great.
That one's not that great.
14723? 14723? No. You got three, three yeah you got three odd numbers in there yeah hi uh brad what's your
address uh 14723 hey 14723 that sucks too that sounds like lost like it sounds like i don't know
where i am yeah my first address was 3111 metal arc so instead of like 3111 yeah you can't do that 3111 yeah you got to go especially for the kid with the speech impediment like yeah 3 of like 3111 yeah you can't do that
3111
yeah
you gotta go
especially for the kid
with the speech impediment
like yeah
3111
3111
3111
you and Trey were loving
the speech impediment
I was doing today
mainly Trey
Trey loves the speech impediment
Trey was really laughing
at that one
yeah
well Wugwats
yeah I couldn't watch Wugwats
they're too sarcastic
too sarcastic
okay
so that was my debate
of the week okay what was your debate so that was my debate of the week
okay
what was your
debate of the week
my debate of the week
is
is uh
also fun
but not really
because it just
drove me crazy
um
Catherine kept using
this
she used the term
delayed gratification
which I understand
what that is
I think it's a great thing
we
I mean we do that
with our kids all the time
where it's like
hey just
you don't get everything
right when you want it or whatever you know but we were having a discussion about like so the church
we go to is the next of baptists and there's a church right next like next door to us as well
and we're like katherine's like what's that church called i was like community covenant i think she's
like is it community i thought it was christ covenant and i i get out my let's see i get out
my phone to like look it up she's like don't look out my phone to look it up. She's like, don't look it up. Don't look it up.
This is on Friday night.
And I was like, why?
She's like, just don't look it up.
We'll figure it out on Sunday.
And I was like, but I need to know right now.
I want to know right now.
She's like, Brad, that says something about you.
If you can't not know something.
And I was like, it's not that I can't know.
I just, I really want to know.
I need to.
Yeah.
It's like, if I have the opportunity to know something and you know, it'll take seven
seconds. Yeah. Like if, if it'll add knowledge to my life, I will now be able to say like,
I know that that church is called this, you know? And she's like, no, like that just says something
about you. Don't look it up. Don't look it up. And it was, it was a pride thing where I was like,
I gotta not look it up because I can't, I can't, she thinks I can't do it. don't look it up and it was it was a pride thing where i was like i i gotta not look it up because i can't i can't she thinks i can't do it exactly um but like but i yeah my
argument was like well if you have a dictionary on file like if you have a dictionary right there
and you're like what does that word mean it's like i don't know we'll have to just wait until
somebody else knows it in a few days wait till somebody uses it in a different context i'm able
to understand about to wait till we drive past it you know like i was like no you would you would use your dictionary she's like she didn't understand
how that computer at all she's like she's like but this isn't a word this is the name of a church
i was like i know but it's the same idea like you can look at it it's information yeah yeah
and i'm sure she's listening to this being like that is not how it went but that's how it went
in my head um and then i think it kind of became an inside joke within us and then also i think we
we explained to you at blue koi at dinner because we were talking about a juice bar called enjoy
oh yes and i go isn't that like spelled weird or something and brad was like yes i think immediately
yeah i was like yeah brad was on my side i didn't know why it was weird but i was like something's
weird about the name and brad's like yes i think there's no e it's just the letter enjoy and i was
like that's got to be it yeah and then katherine's like no katherine and rachel both like i don't
think so let's look it up katherine's like nope immediately i'm like, that's got to be it. Yeah. And then Catherine's like, no, Catherine and Rachel both like, I don't think so. Let's look it up. Catherine's like, nope.
Immediately. I'm like, I'm like, let's look it up. She's like, no, don't do it.
I was like, stop it. Now you're just like taking pleasure in my pain.
So we had to sit there all meal, not know what the juice bar is called. And then to make things
worse, we had to wait two hours. We go walk over to it. And Brad and I are wrong. Yeah,
we're very wrong. The E is in it. Just right there. I texted Rachel a video of you actually,
just like something funny you're doing during G-short today. And she goes,
wow, I really enjoyed that just at the end. All lowercase though. That was the thing.
Like it was all lowercase. And the E and N were plum and then the joy was green. Who does that?
That's freaky. Yeah. That's what I was saying. I was like, that's weird.
Yeah. That's pretty weird. So anyway, that's my, that's my debate of saying I was like that's weird yeah that's pretty weird so anyway
that's my
that's my debate of the week
is
should you
should you
gain access and knowledge
or should you just be ignorant
I don't know
it really comes down to that
personally I'm the kind of guy
that wants to learn
how are they going to
describe this era
the information age
or the ignorant age
or the delayed gratification age
anyway
and then last blank of the week is babe of the week
mine's catherine just kidding uh no mine really i do i already kind of allude to this but like
yeah shout out to my wife for watching like i just feel like i've been working and away from
the house a lot and like even even monday whenever i was away for so long and like i could tell she
was visibly sad she like has not been negatively like complaining and like struggling that much
like i mean she definitely has hard times and like is honest with me about things but she's
having a really great attitude and i think uh handling three kids in the transition of three
kids with great aplomb i i like how she's apple badic about that
aplombatic dropping a plum on me whoa harry truman why don't you drop that aplomb on me
call me hiroshima because catherine's dropping a plum on me
i just like using the word aplomb more often. So anyway, she is just...
You and Scott were texting that word back and forth.
Yeah, I've probably said aplomb four times in the last week.
I'm getting very, like, yeah, aplomb heavy this time of year.
Good for you.
That's fun.
What's yours?
My baby of the week is a girl who girl who just so fun to spend time with.
Love the balance of our personalities.
Yeah, I've just learned more and more how much I think I just love to talk as long as
someone will listen.
You know, it took you three years to learn that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Coming from a guy who has two podcasts, it's like, yeah, duh.
But just like I think most time I'm easy to think like, mean the stuff in my life it's not that important i'm not gonna like just
openly share with isaac he's like how's your day i'll tell him two sentences or whatever oh really
but for other people it's like oh yeah i have so much to say like rachel doesn't even have to ask
how your day was i mean i'll have 20 minutes worth of stuff i can tell her yeah and it's so uh fun
she's so uh quick to listen she is so
supportive so positive all the time yeah and uh turns out we're going steady okay it's rachel
coop s-t-e-a-d-y steady steady not study that's right steady yes um rachel coop yeah do you have
a nickname for her yet? Yeah. Little.
Yeah.
Little deuce coop.
Little cactus leaf.
That's what I call her sometimes.
Cactuses are known for their leaves.
Actually, every.
Little prickly pear.
Almost every day.
I'll send her like a good morning text and I'll give her a new nickname every day.
So it's funny you ask.
What'd you do today?
What was it today?
Is that too personal?
Look it up and then you can bleep it out later.
Bleep it out.
Yeah.
It was pretty graphic.
I like the idea.
Like,
no,
we're going to bleep this out no matter what.
And it's just going to sound like so awkward,
even though it's not.
So just to keep,
keep the,
uh,
keep like the video in here.
So people can try to guess in the comments what he actually called her.
Okay.
Hey.
Oh, gross. try to guess in the comments what he actually called her okay hey oh gross the gross reaction
because because you bleep it out it's just gonna it's gonna be fun good thing we did believe it
my ew oh my god your mom listens to this right
dude the bleep talk about something that's like's like conditioned in your head as far as like just inappropriate.
And funny.
Yeah.
I think it's just so funny.
But just like somebody, people are going to like be a little uncomfortable about that bleep.
Did he say something?
I promise it was nothing.
It was as innocent as it can be.
But man, was it gross.
No, I'm just kidding.
Oh, but anyway, it's been great.
I did it once this week.
I think I'm going to start doing it more.
I don't know.
This is where I got to come across a little self-centered, but I promise she really likes
this kind of stuff.
I made her her own podcast.
Like it's just me talking like for like give her something to listen to on her drive to
work like 15 minutes.
Oh, really?
I'd like me like telling her stuff.
How do you do this?
Like the voice memo app.
OK.
And that way she can like,
if she gets interrupted,
like she could scrub through it or whatever or something like that.
Oh,
voice memo app.
So I was going to say,
no,
the voice,
like the app itself.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Nice.
So maybe that'll be a more regular thing.
Guys.
So sweet.
Kind of fun.
Also,
I was going to share this anyway in the podcast,
but Rachel was just so encouraging about this and was very good about matching my excitement.
So this is an exciting announcement, kind of fun thing.
I know what you're going to say.
This is a very exciting thing.
Yeah, and I didn't do a very good job explaining it the first time on the podcast.
Let me do that real quick.
So I said the word like comedy special a couple weeks ago, and people were like, whoa, hold on.
What's going on?
I'm like, dang it.
Sorry.
I forget who I've told what to, who knows what.
Basically, you know, Trey is going to get his last show on tour filmed and not necessarily because like netflix is asking
for it but just like why would you not you know he's got a youtube channel with a million subscribers
he can like get this filmed make it look nice and sure maybe if netflix or amazon come knocking then
yeah he's got it ready to sell to them but even the worst case scenario is still a pretty good
scenario for him it's where
he can post his comedy special uh to his youtube channel so you know his hour-long special and
derek's gonna be filming it he's got this crew of people in chicago we're gonna do it and trey
was nice enough to be like hey jake and lucas we'll go ahead and film yours too if anything
else derek can practice on you guys and so it's like great who would ever thought not only am i
doing comedy not only am i in theaters i don't you know fill in the blank for how incredible this whole experience has been
on top of it now i'm gonna have it filmed in 4k with six different cameras it's gonna look
so professional yeah you know it's what's like i use special kind of loosely like in quotes like
comedy special like no one is asking for it or paying for it but it's like it's a comedy show
i don't know it's a 20 it's gonna be a 20 minute filmed version of my comedy show yeah so that's what how i've been using the word special and this whole time i was like this
is so cool i mean i'll just throw it up on like my youtube channel and it'll be nice for like my
facebook friends to see like oh that's like what jake means when he says you know it's like sure
truly what i was thinking and it'll be nice for my parents to have forever or whatever and then
trey this week was like dude i've been been thinking about how would you like to upload this
on Gene Short's YouTube channel?
Hello!
Yeah, baby!
I was like, oh my,
I was like, dude, are you serious?
That is incredible.
Like, I mean, I went from like
best case scenario,
5,000 people seeing it
to now worst case scenario,
50,000 people see it.
Right.
This is incredible.
Not saying it's going to like
open a ton of doors for me,
but just it's cool to know that like,
hey, if you made a song, Brad, would rather 1 000 people or 100 000 people listen to it yeah
why not more right i you know and trey was like and we can like give you all the money i was like
no i think let's still split the revenue everyone worked hard to build this channel to what it is
now so it's not about that it's just the exposure of it it's so fun and so cool yeah and for our
loyal subscribers to be like whoa this is fun yeah he does comedy
and it's gonna be cool like because as our channel grows like even like with like as i follow trey
like and obviously anybody that is on youtube knows this but like like you'll get suggested
videos from trey from like two years ago so like not only are gonna people gonna watch right when
it comes out but people will be watching this like as they gain followers that's a good point
for so long yeah you know so it's gonna be like oh it's in the archives yeah yeah wait g-trust has one video
like way long in the other what is this you know like oh that's the guy from the thing so
um and i've been thinking about calling it because i feel like most comedians have a name for their
special i don't know what else to call it jake triplett's first time doing comedy special i was
like uh so the name i came up with as of now, it's only been a few days,
but it's like the sheltered kids special,
something like that.
Cause it's,
I do some bits talking about how I grew up.
And then also we make videos about that too.
So like it would fit.
I like it.
Anyway,
all I have to say,
I'm really excited about it.
And Rachel did such a good job of like acknowledging and realizing how big of a deal that was.
And it was so,
it's so fun to tell her good news.
Cause she responds.
Right.
Appropriately.
She freaked out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude.
Yeah.
That's crazy. That's going to be so fun. Really exciting. Really fun. Big deal. I freaked out. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. Yeah. That's crazy.
It's going to be so fun.
Really exciting.
Really fun.
Big deal.
I'm pumped.
I'm pumped to see it, even though I've already seen it, but I'm sure it's going to be a little
different and it's going to be fun to see you.
Yeah.
Thanks, dude.
Yeah.
Thanks for being excited.
Well, it is a big deal.
Next year, yours will be up there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you going to do crowd work for the special?
Because obviously, like, I guess so.
And just be very intentional about, like, repeating. I think you gonna do crowd work for the special because obviously like i guess so and just be
very intentional about like repeating i think you already do that like repeating everything they say
to make sure that you know yeah it makes sense that is one thing i've been lucky enough to like
i didn't make a super conscious effort to like hey make sure you repeat it but i do catch myself
doing it all the time so i'm like that's good that i don't like yeah it's probably just like
ingrained in you so i'm glad i'm doing that, it's not something I have to be stressed about.
So I guess, yeah, I haven't really thought about it a ton.
I think I'm just going to treat it like a normal show
or just like do your thing and have fun.
And whatever happens, happens.
Pray a lot beforehand that you pick the right guy.
Because that's some of my prayers before I'm like,
God, I pray that I would use good discernment.
I would pick the right guy to do crowd work with.
There you go.
Because I don't know what I'm going to get out there.
Love it.
Be specific in those prayers, baby.
Love it.
So that's Blanks of the Week slash Announcement of the Week.
Blanks of the Week slash Announcement of the Week slash.
Did you have one more?
Nope.
Nope of the Week.
Last thing before we wrap up this podcast, which we've been going for a while, but it's
time for our brand new segment.
I alluded to it a few weeks ago.
It's got a new name because it is a new segment.
The segment is called Expert Analysis.
Let me do a jingle for you real quick.
Expert Analysis.
That's right.
You guys know Brad and I
not only did well on our ACT,
but have done well since then.
Learning about things,
educating ourselves on everything,
walking encyclopedias people say
brad or people that's ironic people say to brad when they see him people they my initial name
when i was born was called jack middle name of all trades so how about that and master of all
as well so this is just a segment where we take a specific industry,
a specific realm of culture, and we talk to you guys being the experts we are in it. Brad,
what is this week's version? I believe we're calling it just eating.
Healthy eating. Yeah, diet. Yeah. Dietetics, healthy eating. Yep. So if you're looking to
go on a diet or just eat a little bit healthier, hey, listen up. Get out that pen.
Get out that paper.
Right.
Let's dive in.
So first and foremost, we all know, you know, the age old 90s teaching of the food pyramid.
Right.
You know, you got the breads on the bottom.
You got, you know, the skinny little sugars on top.
And let me tell you guys, it's completely flipped.
You're supposed to have completely only sugar these days. And first and foremost uh, let me tell you guys, it's completely flipped. You're supposed to have
completely only sugar these days. And first and foremost in the morning, right? Like, uh, like
look at cereal. Why do you think cereal is so sugary? It's because you're supposed to start
your day with it, but not too much, right? Like, um, actually I've, I've, I've actually,
you do cereal. I actually just start with three peppermints. I just chew them up. I eat them.
They wake me up. They help me sneeze. And then I'm good for my day. Right. And so it's just
culture reminds you where you came from a little bit. Exactly. You know, the North pole. That's
good. And so, yeah, I think sugar is very important to a good diet because it just,
it energizes you. So caffeine is bad. Like we all know that's like a drug, but sugar
is not addictive at
all so you can have as much of it as you want with no consequences yeah right i think that's
totally true um i think one thing that is often overlooked you'll ever see those people on the
news and it's like yes my dad weltha is 113 weltha what'd you do yeahtha, what'd you do? Yeah. Weltha, what'd you do? She goes, a cigarette every day.
Let's not ignore that.
That's not genetics.
That's a cigarette every day.
Follow Weltha.
That's actually been proven wrong, I think.
Is that actually cigarettes are bad for you.
I think.
Well, explain it to Weltha's grandchildren.
That's fair i can
because they're all still alive um yeah that's good i think yeah well the nicotine really like
i hear that it uh stunts uh your desire it curbs your your hunger and so no longer are you desiring
the ugly you know grains and carbs and everything like that. Yeah. And you're just going straight for the peppermints because you have bad breath.
Trying to think what else I know about eating.
Talk about probiotics real quick.
Well, I know there's biotics, right?
And you can go if you want to go professional, you can do probiotics.
If you're just starting out, I'd go with just prebiotics or amateur biotics, amateur
biotics, pro am biotics.
Yeah.
Minor league biotics.
Well, college biotics just recently got an-am biotics uh yeah minor league biotics college biotics just
recently got an nil deal so yeah so you can make money off the the college biotics but um even 12
and under biotics are going to be fine and no matter what either sugary cereal or peppermint
start off your day you you will not go wrong look at two specimens of the human body here. Yep. Yep. We sat out the most in basketball.
Speaking of specimens though, uh, for my like little ask me anything the other day, I, uh,
your dad asked a question about how Steve Triplett became so charming and everything.
You see that? And, uh, he asked that question. Yeah. He's like, yeah. Yeah. He was like,
he's like, uh, what do you think of Steve Triplett? And, or, and why is he so charming and lovable or something like that? And so I went on his Facebook page to
find a picture of him and there's a picture. I don't even know how long ago, 10, 12 years ago,
like not that long ago. And he's pretty cut, dude. He's like pretty strong. Really? Yeah.
Cool. I'll send you it. Thank you. You've probably seen him. I don't know. But I mean,
I mean, I was like, holy cow.
Good genetics coming my way.
Oh, yeah.
He looked good.
He looked like he was on a beach trip somewhere and just, I mean, just a specimen.
We'll get some health tips from him next.
That would be good.
That would be very good.
Steve, if you want to send us a voice memo of some health tips, we'd love to put it on
Patreon.
Cool.
Let's wrap this little baby up.
We want to do a reviews of the week, Brad?
I do.
I want to actually do another YouTube comment of the week.
Great.
Two weeks in a row.
Go for it.
I really like this one.
So Jake, last week you said like, if anybody's been listening since episode one, please comment.
Yes, dude.
Which is cool to see.
Yes, there were some cool ones.
Yeah. Janelle's was very interesting. I, please comment. Yes, dude. It's cool. Yes. There were some cool ones. Yeah.
Janelle's was very interested.
I had no idea like,
yeah,
about her story,
but the one I'm going to point out is Caleb die.
Um,
he said,
yes.
Yep.
I remember that one started in high school.
Please let me software in college now.
Okay,
cool.
That's it.
No.
So Lewis,
uh,
Jake just likes to steal all my stuff.
No.
Uh,
he said, I know I don't interact too much, but I've been with the podcast from the start
and it has been one of my weekly joys.
Found the podcast through Jake after watching him and Josh.
It started at the end of my sophomore year of high school and now I'm at the end of my
freshman year of college.
You guys have been a consistent source of laughs and happy moments throughout this time
of great change in my life.
Thanks for what you do.
Congrats on three years.
That's just for some reason, three years seems more understandable when he says
sophomore year of high school to freshman year of college.
Whoa.
It's like, oh, snap.
Like that.
That's life.
Like or if I say like, you know, we started this when I had one child.
Now I have three children.
Like it's like, OK, that that's something when you bring it to like life events and it's like, Oh, that's considerable amount of
time. Exactly. Cause like I said, not a big dates person. So I don't know, three, three years
doesn't mean that much to me until I put in some concept context like that. So thanks Caleb.
Someone left us a comment just a couple hours ago. I was reading it recently and it said like,
I found Jake through my friend Arthurthur and it's like wow i you
know just like that's just so random so arthur's a guy i met one time we went to hawaii my first
time going to hawaii i met arthur there and haven't seen him since and it's like someone
knew him and that's how and they've been listening since episode one okay like how many other people
are like that that we never hear from that probably found it so many different ways that's like it's
just cool that people have stumbled into this podcast if you ever want to share your podcast origin stories we love to hear we will
think it's cool yeah so send us some comments on youtube or whatever send us dm or join the
facebook group facebook group dude you've got to join the facebook group you're not already on it
it's so fun it's fun some fun is posted every single day in there seriously someone yeah made
the meme of like what i thought the regions were last week. Yeah. I think Thurbush posted something of like if we were like a sitcom or something,
like it was like a commercial for our sitcom.
Oh, I meant to go back and watch that.
I couldn't watch it with sound at the time.
So I was like, I need to go back and watch this.
Oh, it's very fun.
It's like fun to the extent of like, hey, I'm going to text you and see if I can
like get that video and post it on our Instagram.
I mean, that's just that's's Thurber's brand though.
It's nothing but the best.
Truly.
No mediocrity from him.
Truly.
So, um, yeah, he posted something on Reddit.
I remember commenting amazing.
Oh no, he posted me on Facebook.
He found the real cuz cuz on Instagram.
He found him, which was not hard to do.
I Googled the real cuz cuz.
I was looking for him on Spotify and SoundCloud where he told me he would have the biggest
presence.
It's just so funny.
You're like, dude, I couldn't find him anywhere.
Dude, I was trying.
And I Google the real cuz cuz
and there the first leak
is like the thing Andrew found.
But also good.
Still cool.
Still cool.
So that's my review.
Jake, what's your review of the week?
My review of the week.
It is titled,
well, if it was a home address,
it'd be 3537.
But she says 3537 miles away.
Just finished listening
to Translating the aborigine episode
and i had to comment because jake mentioned anchorage alaska and coats which after living
in california all my life then moving up here four years ago winter coats are a thing i started
listening to you guys about a year ago when i was looking for a light-hearted clean pod to listen to
on vacation in florida with some friends i recently went through a pretty rough breakup
like when we were three weeks away from getting married rough.
And I've been able to start listening to the pod after six months of just being miserable.
It feels so good to laugh again.
And I'm grateful for the joy you guys bring.
Thank you.
I had a comment on this episode because of the Anchorage comment.
Then the translator audio had me laughing out loud in my car while driving.
And then Jake slipped a golden word when talking about a beach poem that said sloppy kiss.
And he said, not unforeseen.
Thank you.
Little emoji.
Sloppy wet kiss is gross, people.
Why do we sing that on Sundays?
Ha ha.
Anyway, you guys are great.
Brad, I love that you keep us grounded and focus on the important things.
You really love people and it comes through.
Jake, I feel like I'm able to relate to a lot of the low maintenance adulting things you do.
Also huge recovering people pleaser,
just a sheltered homeschooled kid.
I really appreciate the wholesome,
honest, joyful conversations you guys have.
Praying for you guys.
Have a blessed summer.
Jessica.
Thank you, Jessica.
Thanks, Jess.
That's fun.
That is encouraging.
That is awesome.
Thank you for taking the time
to type all that out.
And it's cool to see that
I think we're not that different
from the people we make content for whether it's a podcast or
gene shorts so many people have lived similar lives doing the same thing we do and yeah it
makes it more fun and more easy honestly sorry if this is not going to go anywhere but didn't
you kind of allude to something you might have like an adulthood wins story or something
i feel like you were like oh I got something to tell you about that. Oh, it was.
Yes.
Thank you for reminding me.
And I was looking at it
because that TikTok did really well.
I saw one of the guys
from Impractical Jokers commented on that.
Did you see it?
No.
He commented on our Adulthood Wins video on TikTok.
He's like, I think I've said every one of these things.
Great video, guys.
Oh, cool.
I was like, that is cool.
You've done comedy for a long time.
That is very cool.
Yeah.
It's one of those things where it's like, I'm gonna watch impractical jokers but if impractical
jokers guy comments on something like no way like that guy yeah like just two nights ago I walked in
and all my roommates I was like what are you guys watching because there's a commercial like they're
watching a like something on tv I was like what are you guys watching like practical jokers and
I was like that's kind of weird that's the only thing you could watch but at the same time it's
like dude he took the time to comment that's so nice of him that's really cool yeah he's a big deal no i hadn't seen so yeah i
think that video did well and it was funny to see the comments i mean people really like that video
it just like this was pleasing to watch it was like asmr for people yeah it like it like made
me want to like it like it like got something started me i'm like maybe i should have like a
video channel where all we do is positive things like Like it's like so strictly like you, you, you can come here and be guaranteed that it's just going to be completely positive.
Like something that's like, it's good news. It's like a movement of good news.
Which is kind of what our podcast is in an unintentional, you know, just who we are kind
of way, but not in like, like we still like jokingly make fun of people and like
complain about things. Yeah. Technically it's not all positive. Right. I think everything has a positive spin.
But I just love the idea of like some kind of channel where it's just like, I can come
here or every single time this is posted, it's just like positive, positive, positive,
encouraging.
Uplifting.
K-love.
I do think our podcast is that for people, even though we might talk about food being
spilled in our lap.
It's still like, I know I'm not going to hear political grududges i'm not going to hear like actual arguments so sure sure sure good
yes you will that's good that's good good good good good i mean that's good brad tell everyone
the whatever you want well you can ask brad do you want to end this episode with jingle i do
i want to end it with a classic jingle oh so let me tell you a
quick backstory my sister julie big fan of the pod um she texted to on wednesday april 27th which was
i don't know a couple days ago probably and said dr ryan zwick z-w-i-c-k is the anesthesia
who is the anesthesiologist i'm working with today no relation to katie i asked
and i said who's katie zwick i said lol do you mean kirsty swick and she said no relation
i forgot that this was her response she goes brad don't tell a soul so here i am sorry julia
telling a hundred thousand people um and i said, don't tell a soul.
Not even that.
She's obviously joking.
I mean, I immediately texted Kirstie and Steven, but she's, she said, I really did think it
was Zwick with the Z.
Kirstie was just flat out incorrect.
So it's Swick with this S.
But anyway, Kirstie is one of the, I don't even know how to describe how wonderful the
Swicks are and how one of the pillars of our fandom instrumental to our podcast.
Like I think her fandom in some ways, like legitimized how I felt about our podcast.
Like she made a fan account on Instagram before we had an Instagram account.
Yes.
Like that was crazy.
I think her review, initial review was amazing.
Like all these different wonderful things. And then she was one of the first people,
like she wrote like five jingles in a row for us. Uh, so I'm just in case anybody thinks she's some
washed up, you know, character from season two, Kirstie's still alive and kicking and she's doing
great. She's a mom of three. She's wonderful. And I just want to pay her homage, homage, homage, aplomb and play this jingle that she
wrote to Macklemore's Can't Hold Us, an episode, I think, 73, which is the Amish Jams episode,
which is fun.
So how about that?
So let's play it.
Let's end this episode, right?
You guys have a great week.
Jake, say some other nice things for him.
Is this it?
It's going to end with a jingle.
I think it's going to end with a jingle.
And then, you know, the good old-fashioned uh i don't know yeah uh ghost runner
steam song at the end great so we love you guys we thank you for uh listening to us yeah this is
the start of year four on the podcast i can't wait to see how it how it ends i hope it's very
a plum yeah a plus it reminds me in the office when michael doesn't know how to

Oh, really? Yeah, she's back at it again.
Are you ready? Yeah.

Return of the Monday. What it is, what it does, what it is, what it
isn't. Looking for a better way to get up out of bed instead of getting on the internet and checking
on who it may get up. Basement placement potting, a little bit of triplet, a little bit of Alice,
somewhere between like Seinfeld and Ellen. Blanks of the week. Nope, y'all can't call back. Yeah,
bad kombucha. This here is glow night. My co-host been on withintry. But we did it our way. Grown, potted.

And yet scream mom.

Kirstie, great job writing.
If you're new around here,
yeah, so basically people just keep writing us full songs
to perform at the end of our episodes.
So that's what you just heard.
And keep them coming.
Because that's pretty fun.
That's pretty unique, I think, to the podcast world.
Yeah, I haven't heard anybody else do that.
I have to assume.
Yeah.
The sexiest podcast in Kansas Trophy, along with that jingle.
We're doing it different.
