All right, Jake, another thing that I really strongly believe in, I've been thinking about it,
I've been doing a lot of research on this. We need to all be on the exact same time zone.
How many times recently have we just barely screwed up like a Google Meet, a Zoom call?
Man, at least twice.
Several.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm not talking about just America. Sorry, let me be clear.
Okay.
The entire world, it needs to be the exact same time at all times.
One time zone.
In the entire, yeah. Do you zone. In the entire... Yeah.
Do you know what time it is?
Yeah. Not what times it is.
No one says that.
Do you know what the times are?
Let me check my clocks.
No.
Let me look at my watches.
No.
And let's be honest.
America's number one.
They've always said it.
So America needs to have prime billing as far as like...
When it's noon here, it's noon everywhere.
I think everyone in the world needs to go off America central time zone.
I think so.
And when I say America, I mean United States.
United States central time zone.
Well, Mexico's got central time zone.
Mexico City.
Probably up there in Canada, in the middle of Canada.
What's in the middle of Canada?
What is in the middle of Canada?
Ottawa.
Is that Ottawa?
Oh, Ottawa.
Oh, middle circle.
Oh, that's how I remember it. Oh, Ottawa. Oh, middle circle.
Oh, that's how I remember it.
Oh!
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But seriously, I mean, like, how much more business could get done if I'm able to really quickly right now call up China and they're ready to answer?
And they're in their noon mode, right?
Their noon mode.
Everyone's working at the same time. Because people are like, hey, people just work overnight.
No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about
people in India just working wee hours
of the night so they can communicate with America. No.
I want them to be on their
lunch break at the same time I am. They will work
at 9 to 5. It will be in the middle of the night.
But it will be at 9 to 5.
And then think about how much more of the
day they could sleep. How great is it
to have a nice sleepy day?
People love sleeping during the day.
You're welcome, China.
Breakfast is at 8 a.m.
Or wait, that's when the breakfast already is.
That's it!
Idiot! Idiot!
Uh-oh, ooh-I-ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down
With some random thoughts and white meat too
Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat
So come along, let's have some fun
and go ahead, get on your feet
because it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Everybody morning, we're taking ground.
Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Ghost Rubs Podcast.
I can't eat these grapes and still talk.
They're too sour.
Oh, too sour. I just think it's because you got food in your mouth. It grapes and still talk. They're too sour. Oh, too sour.
I just think it's because you got food in your mouth.
It's hard to talk.
Oh.
Maybe both.
Never thought about it that way.
You're right.
My mom always told me this thing.
She's like, hey, don't eat or don't talk with food in your mouth.
I don't know.
My mom always said, don't eat.
Don't eat.
I did not.
My mom always said, eat three times a day and then a few snacks.
Boy, did I love that advice.
Are we recording?
Is this on?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, great.
Yeah, I'm trying to eat
some grapes right now
and they're just big
and cold and sour.
It's the first thing
I'm having since toothpaste.
I think it makes
a little extra sour.
Of course, yeah.
Of course.
What'd your mom always say
about toothpaste?
My mom always said,
brush your teeth
at least twice a day.
Don't eat that.
Yeah. And it will make, yeah, my mom was very, is teeth at least twice a day don't eat that yeah and it will
yeah my mom was very is she's not dead my mom was is a very wise woman ahead of her time let
me know if you have any other questions and i'll i'll give you throughout the episode i'll try and
think some yeah um but hey this is a fun fun week happy monday everybody listening it's fun week
because this is the week we are going to arizona hello baby finally going
to uh yeah the scottsdale area for my bachelor party i still don't know much uh but i know that
my dad is on the phone with you guys all the time yeah i i felt kind of special whenever he calls me
and then i'll hear like oh yeah he talked to luke hoagland the other day or yeah i was talking to
scott on the phone i was like okay so you're just calling everybody like you just you just need to
talk to somebody about something at all times.
I think that is a part of it a little bit because he feels bad always talking to my mom about it
because she doesn't get to go.
She's like, I don't want to just talk to her about it all the time.
So he just calls other people.
And she probably, I mean, it's a bachelor party.
She's not going to resonate to the excitement that we have for it.
Oh, cool.
Morning tea time.
Golf.
Yeah.
745 or 755. I don't know which time would be better. Maybe 755 because it's a bunch of
guys, but what's the stamp in that? I don't know. Yeah. Jake told me something about stamp. So
make sure you look up the stamp later, Steve. Yeah. It was fun talking to him the other day
about, he said, he said that your mom is always the one that always plans out all the vacations
for them. Yeah. I, my dad, I don't know if he's ever booked a hotel room before and he's doing this
crazy bachelor. And now he's like, he's like, I feel kind of guilty for Trish because I've never
put this much work into a vacation. And I was like, well, now that now she knows though, now
she knows that you have the ability to plan something like that. So now the next vacation
you guys do together, you guys need to make it, make right so anyway yeah it's gonna be wild i saw you this week at some point and you were like i
was on the phone with your dad this morning and then later that day i saw scott he was like oh
yeah your dad called me at lunch and then the very next day which was yesterday i think i saw luke
hoagland at a coffee shop and i was like oh luke what's up dude he was on the phone so i just like
fist bump real quick he's like i'm on the phone with your and I was like, Oh Luke, what's up dude. He was on the phone. So I just like fist bump real quick.
He's like,

I don't want to bother you during this business meeting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's your dad,
dude.
He had his computer up and he was,
uh,
yeah.
On the phone.
I figure he's doing business.
And then he like actually closed his computer because he was like looking at
like something I wasn't supposed to see.
Oh,

That's awesome.
But yeah,

scottsdale birch what is that merch oh i was like is that a tree i've never heard of you know you
know the scottsdale birch scottsdale birch yeah they make a lot of land that's what they call
palm trees in arizona Scottsdale Birch.
Yeah.
Wow.
Bad Birdie, our apparel sponsor for golf, sent me this for some reason.
And I was like, well, that's fun.
Do they just send...
Estimate how many shirts you've gotten from them.
Probably like 20 to 25 golf polos right now.
Yeah. It's wild yeah yeah it's yeah you say they just
like send you massive boxes of stuff it's like once every like two or three months they'll send
like a couple boxes of just like pants shorts quarter zips crewnecks hoodies that's awesome
it's so fun and then one this was called like the beach cabana set i was like i don't even i didn't
i've never seen this on your website.
I don't know what this is, but this is full vacation mode.
That's amazing.
I think I'm going to wear this in Arizona a lot.
I'm going to wear this on our Florida trip a lot.
I just got it, so I thought I'd wear it today.
It says Scottsdale on it.
What would it take?
Let's do odds real quick.
Remember odds?
Basically, you give me one to X amount, And if I guess the same number as you,
you have to wear that shirt the entire time.
We're in either Arizona or Florida.
You choose.
All right.
Arizona or let's do Florida.
Okay.
Cause I,
I think I'd be happy to the whole time.
So what are the odds that you would do it there?
One in seven.
What?
Sure.
It's a great outfit.
Okay.
Okay.
Great.
One,
let's do, let's do time. And I both get to pick a number at the same time as you. What? Sure. It's a great outfit. Okay. Okay. Great.
Let's do,
let's do time.
And I both get to pick a number at the same time as you.
And if either of our numbers are the same,
so change your one in how many sevens?
Okay.
Um, no,
that,
yeah,
that makes sense.
Um,
one in 11,
one in 11.
Okay.
So time,
and we're going to count to three.
And then the fourth number we say,
or I'm gonna say one,
two,
three.
And then we all say a number is a random number between
anywhere between one and 11. Okay. And if we, if we, if either of us say the same
number as Jake, Jake has to wear the shirt the entire time he's in Florida. Okay. You are allowed
to message bad birdie and say, Hey, I lost a bet where I have to wear this. Can you send me four
more of these? So you're not wearing the exact same shirt every time if you want to. Okay.
Real quick. Are you guys the type to do like to
choose one or to choose 11 i didn't know that beforehand uh i usually choose like an odd number
or a prime number or a number that's divisible by two i usually choose either a number that's
one or 11 or any number between those you'll go between as well okay i normally don't do one or
11 but i was thinking about doing it this time you don't not normally i don't i don't mind this time i might choose 11 or one look at me real
quick and let me see what number you're gonna pick i don't know yet okay it's either one nine
or eleven no it's not all right dang it hey fyi no i'm i was gonna say like i'm i'm picking nine
okay i'm picking nine okay i won't do nine then all right i'm picking nine okay time in okay
sounds good yeah all right let's do it count it down ready i go i go at the same time yeah yeah Okay? I'm picking nine? Okay. I won't do nine then. Alright. I'm picking nine. Okay, Tymon? Okay. Sounds good. Yeah.
Alright. Let's do it. Count it down. Ready?
I go at the same time? Yeah.
Alright. One, two, three,
six. One.
I said eight.
He went for one.
Alright. Now
Tymon has to wear this shirt every podcast
for the next five podcasts.
Off camera.
I'll just, I don't even have to.
I just say that I am.
Hey guys, wearing the shirt again.
Dang it.
All right.
This is my wearing the shirt voice.
He went for one.
This is my wearing the shirt voice.
That's fun.
Fun.
Good job.
Fun.
Yeah.
What do you, what would you define success as in Arizona?
What's like, what's like not non-negotiables,
but like, man, I would be very happy if this happened.
I think everyone is able to like get down there easily.
Like no one's like, hey, I had this weird like delay.
Hey, my bags never came.
You know, something like that.
We all just get to the Airbnb
and we get to sleep there every night
and we're all hanging out during the day.
No one has to go to the hospital.
I don't know why they would.
I mean, it's not like we're like doing crazy.
Yeah, but it's just like...
Isaac will find a way.
Yeah.
So I think just as long as everyone
gets to hang out together,
it's going to be so fun.
It's such a fun, fun and unique collection of people.
I mean, we told you guys before,
there's four men in their 50s coming,
one of which is my future father-in-law
coming on this bachelor party.
So it's going to be very unique and very fun.
So I think it's almost, it almost can't go poorly, you know, like I don't want to say
it absolutely can't.
I dare you to make this thing.
There's too many fun people.
There's too, there's way too much potential for this not to be like the best weekend ever.
Right.
Cause like, even if one of us is like off our game, like not having a ton of energy,
somebody else is going to pick it up.
You know what I mean?
And like, yeah.
And that's the thing.
I think we're all just going to be buzzing.
Let's talk about your father-in-law real quick. Sunday afternoon, I am coming home from church
with Hattie and I see Jake and his in-laws and Rachel out in the driveway. Actually,
you weren't there quite yet. It's okay. And they were looking like Steve and Angie were
going to say goodbye to Rachel and Steve
goes, yeah, I lost my phone.
I lost my phone. I don't know where it is
and yeah, he's just
looking all around the house. He's like I had it one
minute ago. Yeah, because he had
he had turned it off during
church. Yeah, just very old man
thing to do. Yeah, like 15 minutes later after
he still couldn't find it. Rachel was like dad
you should just put on airplane mode next time
that does the same thing or
just don't make it like make noise
and then the vibration no one
no one else noticed that Steve. Yeah, but it was very
nice and turn it off during church. You know, hey, it's
baptism Sunday Canada thing going on. Is it
okay? Palm Sunday,
but then yeah, he had had it in his hand
like a couple minutes before you showed up
and then just no one could find it.
And he was walking,
like he was walking the premises of the house,
like going all around.
Well, it's funny because he had just walked the land.
I mean, it was like a Native American.
He just like walked all around and is like,
you know what kind of tree that is?
I guarantee, no.
He's like crouched over smelling the dirt.
Yeah, it's going to be a good year for you guys.
He had seriously done a full like lap around the house for some reason just
admiring the trees he can't believe how many acorns we have
in our yard yeah it's just great and so anyway he really had
just recently covered a lot of ground right the phone really could be anywhere
it could be anywhere and he he was probably crouching down at
some of these places to check out some acorns and whatnot
and so you know we're just talking like kind of catching up with them, asking them how they're doing. Um, and yeah,
then all of a sudden I just look and I'm like, that's the phone's right there. Brad was the one
who found it. I was like, I'm from his minivan. Yeah. I'm just sitting there in the street and
I'm just like the, yeah, the phone is just underneath the car. It's right there. I was,
how the heck did it get underneath the car? Did you figure that out? Did you ever litigate that?
No idea how that happened. It seemed like it
was one of those things where the four of you,
none of you were surprised at
all that Steve had lost his phone and was walking
all around the premises. Nobody's stressed.
Nobody's worried. Hey, the Ellis's!
Steve will find it. He'll let him go.
Yeah, Steve lost his phone. We're supposed to be
leaving, but he lost his phone. No problem.
No problem. There was really no big reason to be on a hurry other than that.
Steve wanted to watch the Iowa Caitlin Clark game while he was on the road.
Right.
And so that was basically it.
But otherwise, I mean, him and Rachel are so similar.
They lose stuff all the time.
And it's always just you lose something that often you can't let yourself get stressed
about it.
It's like, oh, we'll find it.
No big deal.
It is amazing, though, that he had it minutes before.
You know, that's like, because to me, it's like, oh, I just misplaced something.
Okay, where are the four places I went?
I'll find it in five seconds.
Yeah.
And he's, yeah, he's just struggling to find it.
Yeah.
It's the difference in like, where in the world is my birth certificate?
Versus like, where's my cell phone that I keep with me at all times?
Exactly.
Yeah.
The thing that's like sewn onto my hip, basically.
So it'll be fun to see what Steve does, what he time. Exactly. Yeah. The thing that's like sewn onto my hip basically. So it'll be fun to see what Steve does,
what he loses in Arizona.
Yeah.
Or just some great stories of,
you know,
because,
because it's,
it's one thing like we have,
basically it's like this all-star team of people.
Like,
like it's like,
Hey,
I would go to a game and watch Steve Coop,
a game,
AKA I would watch Steve Coop's life anyway.
I would watch Harrison's life.
I'd watch Isaac Scott, whatever. And then
you're putting them all together and it's just like,
we've never seen Steph Curry
throw a lob to Anthony Davis before.
You know what I mean? And now we're seeing
it. We've never seen Scott
interact with Steve Koop for
extended periods of time. We've never seen Garrett Gibson
what he's going to be like with Paul Shira,
best friend of Steve Triplett growing
up.
We've never seen Patrick Mahomes throw a pass to my uncle John, who will also be there.
Who's my old baseball coach?
The dynamics are just insane.
Like so many different things that we could joke about and laugh about and find inside jokes about.
So yeah, I hope it's just the best thing ever.
I hope we don't get
super sunburned on the first day somebody's gonna yeah and it might be me but i hope it's not um
that's fun i can't remember so i know we tried to call steve on the podcast last week and we
didn't answer did we ever talk about what he said no back on the podcast so you guys missed what
could have been a great phone call because he did eventually call back off the podcast and i was like hey i was just calling to see um how buster is doing right and the the
abridged version is that he's a little worried that buster might be a gay dog because he hasn't
impregnated his dog yet and and then we said something like so no like no action yet he's like
no this dog's i've had to look after this dog for two weeks been no action two weeks i didn't
realize it was that long.
Yeah.
He's like, the one time there was action, I didn't want there to be action.
Because he was in a small farm truck and had both dogs in the front seat with him.
And they started going at it, like in his lap.
But he said they weren't even doing it right.
It takes a while, okay?
He's like, I think Buster, I i don't know he's just inexperienced
it was on her back yeah he wasn't even doing it right it was a great phone call so i don't think
lila is going to be producing any pups they couldn't make the magic happen do we know if
dogs can be homos
i know they are not classified as homo sapiens yeah yeah we are homo sapiens because we stand up right
what are they called um hetero heterosapien heterosapien right
hetero canines it's something like that yeah
i've never heard before steve last week saying yeah, I don't know, maybe he's just not into the ladies.
I've never heard that.
It's a very farmer approach to like, something's not right.
Yeah, he's just looking at it sideways.
Playing for the other team.
So yeah, I don't know.
I think, yeah, I have no idea.
Let's look at it.
Tymon, look it up.
Tymon, go into incognito mode and search, search a couple of things.
We've been talking about delete your searches.
Yeah.
Cover your bases.
Yeah.
Tell your mom before you do it.
Speaking of farm trucks.
I just had a flashback to last night at pre-mortar counseling.
We were talking about something I was talking about.
I don't know if I've ever told the story, but I told it last night.
Rachel's like, I've never heard that before.
Like you'd say that on the podcast.
Great farm truck.
Just remind me. but i told it last night and rachel's like i've never heard that before like she'd say that on the podcast great farm truck just reminded me my first car ever was uh an old farm truck f-150
yeah red and white is all yeah it was the same truck that you used to have yeah two gas tanks
yes i forgot about the two gas tanks awesome did yours both work because mine one of them did not
work okay so you're down to one gas tank but it was like just cool that there were two of them
it was sweet it got a lot of comments like old men really like talking way ahead of its time
yeah you know pretty neat truck there son uh-huh and yeah it was great you have about ten dollars
worth in the rear tank you know keep just use the front one as you know emergency fund now that i
say that they did both work but one of them the gauge didn't work on it that was it okay like so
one of them it was like i don't know how much is in there,
so just use that one as the reserve.
Yes, that was what it was.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, mine only had one gauge, and you would just flip.
There was a switch of like, do you want to use the front tank or back tank?
But when you flipped it, it would go all the way down.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Yeah, that's not super helpful.
Anyway, this is a great truck, and for as old as it was, it ran pretty good.
But then once it started to fall apart, I like things happened really quickly oh really so without exaggerating
without embellishing any of this this is like the state of my truck i think when i got to college
so i couldn't open the door from the inside not a huge deal so i have to roll down the window
and open it from the outside yeah a little A little bit more difficult, because those... Those were tough. They had the buttons.
They had a button.
An old, old farm button.
A hard button.
So, to like...
A tough button.
It was like,
it was very hard to think about,
like, having to push something in
from the angle you're at
from inside the car to open.
Like, if Catherine had a little bruise
on her thumb,
she couldn't open that thing.
Like, it would hurt too much
to push that hard.
In the cold.
Like, had he's not...
Bo's not going to be opening that button,
open that door with that button until he's 13 years old at least yeah yeah in the
summertime like timon timing with two thumbs i think yeah yeah yeah time to figure out a way
to mcgyver because he's homeschooled but like no way is he like traditionally opening that door
the other like boys at his co-op i doubt it it. No. So that was one thing.
Very quickly after that, the horn
stopped working. The honker.
Bummer. That's how my
truck does not have a horn right now. Really?
Yeah. And so I think we took
it in for a couple other things. Like, do you want us to fix the
horn? How much are they going to be? It's kind of expensive.
Or we can give you a cheaper version
and we can install a
horn button down kind of like
by my leg yeah it's also great that's kind of fun fun let's do that and so which first of all
it's hilarious because anytime that i was like upset at someone i wanted to honk you know first
of all you hit this you actually hit the horn oh shoot that doesn't work and then you're just
the frick man Shoot, that doesn't work. And then you're just... Where is it? I'm trying to do...
The frick, man!
It's just like a clown car horn.
It's got like Usher's Yeah in there.
Come on, man!
Are you coming off?
I'm driving here!
In reality, what would happen is
I would go to hit the horn, and this is just what you would hear.
Got it.
Got it on the sixth try.
Why?
Because it was so hard to find.
You know, like I'm driving, and I'm trying to hit it,
and like, where is the button at?
Yeah, it's almost more dangerous to have that horn than no horn at all.
Yeah.
Eventually my horn,
it was just rolling down the window and yelling at them.
Yep.
And I'd appreciate that.
Yeah.
All right.
Have a good day.
It's so anyway,
the reason these two are combined is because what would happen once I got the
car horn down below is when I had to,
it was so hard to hit that button when I wanted to,
but when it came time to get out of my truck, I'm rolling down my window and I'm having to like
get half my body out of it. This is a time where I don't really want people to watch me having to
get out of my truck this way. Yeah. You're still really self-conscious about stuff.
Freshman in college just showed up and I have to lean out of my car and what would happen 90%
of the time, but my knee would bump that freaking button underneath.
And then the horn would go off and everyone just turns around and looks,
and it looks like I'm stealing my own car.
Yeah.
You're like smuggling it.
I'm like reverse,
like a grand theft auto.
It's like,
I see trying to break out of a car.
It looks wrong,
but he's,
he's sitting in the driver's seat.
That kind of reminds me of that story you told.
Oh, what was it? Oh, you were trying to like put something in a fedex like shipping container
or something and you were just so awkward and like struggling with it like just like any kind
of kevin james moments like that like albert brendeman on hitch like just struggling to do
and like you're just so awkwardly leaning out and just, yeah, hitting it with your butt or whatever you're hitting it with.
Oh, that's so funny, dude.
Yeah, so that came up last night, and everyone really liked it.
And Rachel was like, you should tell that story on the podcast
or on a stage or something.
It's pretty good.
That's awesome.
Speaking of premarital counseling, there is a Patreon post.
Rachel and I sat down for 20 minutes and said our honest thoughts
on premarital counseling, if you want to go check it out.
I checked it out.
And also, I think when we're done recording this, I got to just talk to you guys for like
five minutes.
Maybe we take it on Patreon again.
I got to tell you what happened last night.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
It's so fun, too, because Rachel recorded some of it to show Catherine.
Oh, okay.
And so we have some proof.
I just want to tell you guys.
Because I know Rachel and Catherine were hanging out yesterday, and she was pretty like excited about last night yeah or like at least hopeful
so okay i can't wait to die i can't say it on the podcast but i can't wait to tell you this
you especially right you're gonna lose your mind really yeah yeah um anyway but so maybe we'll
make a patreon video out of that but um anyway brad how was your week what's going on uh week's
been interesting i i always say it's good and it is always good because perspective is always important and
I'm a positive person, but it's been a weird week because my, my grandma got, my grandma
fell this past week and she had to go to the hospital for that because when you're 95 years
old and you fall, like it's like a big deal.
And so that was no fun.
And so then my parents were in the hospital, like doing all this stuff with my grandma.
And then my grandma got sick with like a stomach virus.
And then my parents got sick.
And then we've been like battling sickness.
So it's like on paper,
it's not been the easiest week of our lives by any means.
But at the same time,
it's still,
we've still had some,
some fun times.
And yeah,
one of the things,
I mean,
that has been,
I don't know,
kind of interesting and different for me is that I, on mean, that has been, I don't know, kind of interesting
and different for me is that I, on Sunday, I think I decided I was going to like set
all these limits on my phone, like screen time limits.
You guys ever done that or mess with that?
Or maybe time and his parents have done it for him.
Yeah.
I never have.
Do you have, do you have screen time limits or anything?
Yeah.
What do you know what they are?
Uh, I think it's's like there's a certain
just like time limit for like instagram and just like other apps just basic time limits and then
some i think i don't know there might be some that are just like off limits i don't know sure yeah
yeah i yeah i just like basically was like okay i just don't want to be like scrolling obviously
there's some work that we have to do on social media for our work and so it was like i just
want to be like randomly scrolling for too long.
So I just set limits on all the social medias.
And then at nine o'clock every night,
like my phone basically like becomes like a dumb phone.
Like,
uh,
not truly,
but like I can text,
I can FaceTime,
I can call,
but like I can't do any of the other apps.
Oh yeah.
Mine.
That's what I have.
It's like nine 30.
It's like a bedtime.
It's called.
Yeah.
But then,
but then when it happens, are you able to just like, like bypass it so so yeah so i was like i don't know i was
just motivated i was like i just want to be like better at like not being so on my phone all the
time yeah and like you know whatever just being just being better because because so often
especially when in our work i can just you can always be refreshing and seeing at least one new
comment you know every hour at least yeah you can always be checking just you can always be refreshing and seeing at least one new comment you know every
hour at least yeah you can always be checking yeah you can always check something somebody
post something on facebook whatever and it's like exciting and fun but it's also like i think this
might not be the best thing for me to do all the time and so i was like okay i'm gonna set all
these restrictions and i'm gonna set a passcode on it for katherine and katherine's the only
gonna be the only one that knows it so if i I'm not around Catherine, then I was going to have her text you the passcode
to. I was like, if Catherine is
not, you know, around
Jake will be there. If Jake's not
around that, I don't need it. You know, like
I, you know, I've
I've just punished myself
enough by scrolling Instagram too long or
whatever. But then the passcode
thing, I don't know. I didn't set up right
because now basically it'll be like you've reached your time limit and then there's an thing, I don't know. I didn't set up right. Because now basically
it'll be like, you've reached your time limit. And then there's an option that just says extend
time. And it says either one minute, 15 minutes or until the end of the day. And so I'm like,
well, what the heck? You know, I don't know if that's going to do that much work for me.
You know, it has helped me be like, okay, except once in a while it's like, okay,
I was watching a video on Twitter and it is 30 seconds from ending in it so i'll be like okay one more
minute and then i know like i'm done with twitter yeah i need to get off twitter you know whatever
um but overall it's been just an interesting like reflection of like okay i spend more time
on these things it adds up a lot quicker than i thought it would um so like most people i know
who are using that i always see them just bypassing their own
restrictions.
Yeah.
And I hopefully like I won't ever get to the point where I do it like every once in a while.
Like I think like, oh, I need to do this for, you know, jean shorts or for ghost runners.
Like I need to check how the tick tocks doing real quick, you know, and it's like, hey,
it's popping up.
Yeah, I probably should just be even more strict with like my, you know, my numbers of how
many minutes I get, because there are, there are times where I'm like, I'm gonna check
the comments and I'm getting right out of there, you know?
So it's like I checked YouTube for 30 seconds or nothing there.
I'm out.
Great.
I'm out of there.
So that's good.
Anyway.
Yeah.
It's an interesting thing.
I'm trying to just figure out if, if ghosties have any have any tips for policing their phones more and more.
I just, yeah, I think we're all just struggling with it to an extent.
And I'm just trying to be better.
I'm trying to be more present in my life, in my kids' lives.
So anyway, that's one update in my life.
That's cool.
Yeah.
That reminds me, something that happened to me this past week was,
Yeah!
Oh!
I saw a time and kind of squirm there.
Sorry if I was a little loud in the headphones.
I didn't know that was coming.
Oh, all right.
Switch cameras.
Didn't know what was coming, Jake.
GoodRanchers.com.
Oh, yeah.
Is coming.
American Meat delivered, you would say, maybe?
I mean, if I had a tagline, that's probably what i'd say for him um yeah it's uh it's that time again to remind you guys to get yourself some quality meat
i mean brad has been cooking it up on a daily basis seriously seriously i i have been i have
been grilling yeah every day yeah sure yeah you're right steak chicken i've been learning how to grill
steak i'm not a connoisseur but but I'm learning, and it's awesome.
It was fun.
The day that I ran into Luke at a coffee shop, Scott was also in the area.
So we were like, should we all get lunch together?
And Brad was like, can't.
And just sent us a picture of just one steak on the entire grill.
And it did look good.
It looked nice, didn't it?
It did look really good.
A little salt, pepper, a little garlic powder on there.
It was funny, but it was also like that.
I mean, that's better than the Holy Land Cafe. Bro, yeah, I ate a steak for lunch, and it was funny but it was also was like that i mean that's better than the holy land cafe bro yeah i ate a steak for lunch and it was amazing it was awesome
yeah i've been eating steak our kids love the steak now it was kind of like a rite of passage
like i i never learned how to grill steaks and so i was like bro come here you see so you gotta
sear it on both you know like teaching him of course he doesn't know anything like but i was
trying as well you know trying to show him some stuff.
So, oh, man, Good Ranchers truly is, I will say also, along with the steak,
Scott came over on Saturday.
We grilled some chicken.
Scott's like a foodie connoisseur.
He was trying to teach me different ways to cut the chicken,
cut it against the grain, he said.
Anyway, he tried the chicken from GoodRanchers.com,
and his words were
this chicken is built different. He's like, you can just tell it's different. Like this is better.
This is, this is amazing. So, um, he's a fan. He's going to be ordering soon enough because
he's tried it. I promise you, if you try it, you will love it. Um, or your money back. Yeah. I
don't know if that's true, but I'll just say it because I'm that confident in it.

I don't know.
It feels like we haven't recorded forever.
I got so many things written down.
It's been like 10, 11 days.
Yeah.
This past weekend was awesome.
The Coops were in town. We had a real fun time. Went golfing. Hung's been like 10, 11 days. Yeah. This past weekend was awesome. The Koops were in town.
We had a real fun time.
Went golfing, hung out, Rachel had another shower.
I looked at my calendar and realized that was the last weekend that I'm going to be in Kansas City until June 24th.
No way.
I did not realize that.
It's the last weekend, which is fine.
It's not a complaint.
Everything I'm leaving town for is gonna be awesome it's either uh my family rachel's family a bachelor party
a florida trip or stand-up comedy tour or wedding or honeymoon you know it's like this is amazing
stuff that's blowing my mind but it's a lot of time to not be here for seven you know for a
full week so um is there something i can do every weekend that's like a weekend project
that by the time june 24th rolls around it's like brad you did this all the time that i was gone
from kansas city it's something you do like on friday and saturday and you put it away on sunday
yeah every week i don't want you to ever know what it is you know like i'm just making a mural
for you i was gonna say something kind of like pointless piece of art uh-huh just like one of
those things like i made your face out of dice yeah it took me eight weeks it's frozen cheese it's you guys in cheese cool yeah
thanks dude you spent a lot of time on this yes we just gathered sticks from all over your yard
and then we burned them a little bit but not all the way so that they're malleable and we made a
wreath for you out of them took forever thank forever. Thank you. Dude, let's talk about Bo and his sticks.
Dude, let's talk about Bo and his sticks.
It is, I've never seen, I don't hang out with a bunch of kids,
but I've never seen a kid just embody like a golden retriever like Bo does.
Like he just loves, you know, a lot of you guys have dogs.
I'm sure your dog just like loves having a stick in their mouth.
They're having something in their mouth.
That is how Bo is, but with a stick in his hand.
Bo, and he loves the hunt for the stick
as well as the stick itself.
You know what I mean? Which I think is very Golden Retriever
like. Go find the stick.
Go find the stick. He gets so
pumped. I mean, there's been some crazy wind
around here lately. And so,
yeah, there's so many sticks. I mean, it's
stick season, baby. And he's just
finding them. And you guys, especially at your yard
or, sorry, Rachel's yard that you're going to move into in May, whenever. I'm not saying exactly stick season baby and he's just finding them and you guys especially at your yard or sorry
rachel's yard that you're going to move into in may whenever i'm not saying exactly the day uh
man i mean have some incredible sticks yeah good stick yard uh it's just so funny it's just like
you will be hanging out for an hour and i'll kind of get used to it and it'll hit me again like
bo was had a stick in his hand for an hour and he loves using them as props i mean it's a sword
it's a gun basically it's a fire hydrant yesterday oh that's right yeah yeah fire hose something um yeah the
other day catherine or not catherine hattie has always gone on tuesdays for gymnastics and then
does homeschooling with my mom and aunt so she's gone most of the day and so catherine was like i
just felt so bad for bo he was out there playing by himself just you know hitting the stick against
the trampoline and then i asked
about it later and he was like i had so much fun i was playing with my sticks and i was getting all
these guys on the trampoline and so it's like in his eyes he was loving but time by himself with
the sticks that's what rachel always says she's like i would love to see what his eyes see right
now yeah because he is in his own world and the stick is all he needs oh yeah it's awesome he's
a character a lot of times he's like he's not making out any words he's just kind of like he's kind of the bad guy a lot too yeah he
does and he's totally fine being the bad guy whenever we play peter pan he wants to be captain
hook you know he's always like i'm gonna get you hattie i'm gonna get you running around trying to
get her so um anyway yeah he's he's a blast, man. He is great. Yesterday
I really enjoyed it. I was at your house
and he was not expecting to see me
at your house. And while he was still in the car seat, still in the minivan
in the garage, he could see me. And he was like,
I didn't know Jake was going to be
here. And kept putting his hand
on his forehead.
Seeing this kid, not even three years old,
exclaiming that way was so funny.
That was a beautiful moment of neighborhood friendship right there because it was like seeing this kid not even three years old is like exclaiming that way was so funny that was that was
a beautiful moment of neighborhood friendship right there because it was like it was like jake
was inside of our house and i had like just gotten there yeah so bow and hattie come in rosie was
home with jake and i randomly um bow hattie catherine come in come in the garage hattie
gets out to go get the mail bow sees jake through the kitchen is like so excited i didn't know jake
was going to be here then as hattie's getting the mail, who should pull up into her driveway, but Miss Rachel.
And so Bo is super excited about Mr. Jake right here. Hattie comes running in. Guess who just
came in her driveway? Miss Rachel's here. Miss Rachel's here. It was just like, this is great.
You know, our kids love you and yeah, are so pumped every time you guys are around. So I was
loving Hattie and Rachel yesterday.
I was filming stuff on my phone.
I think I'll maybe piece it together
and put something on Patreon
because Hattie has established a system.
It's like a smoke signal.
She's written Miss Rachel on a napkin
and hangs it in the window
that Rachel could see from her house.
When she hangs the napkin,
it means I'm ready for you to come over now.
She's like, I have to go eat lunch.
And Rachel's like, okay, I need to eat lunch too.
But when I put up the napkin,
that means I'm ready to play my memory game with you.
It was awesome.
Oh, yeah.
And yeah, Hattie, just the way she was sitting,
she was sitting inside for a little bit
and she was looking and then she went outside
and just like sat on the step of the porch for a little bit.
It was like a woman waiting for her husband to come home from war. Exactly. she went outside and just like sat on the like the step of the porch for a little bit and it was
like a woman waiting for like her her husband to come home from war exactly the same yeah any second
oh it was so sweet yeah she's she's sweetie and yeah everything's the kids are awesome man kids
are so fun if you guys don't have kids think about it just think about it um think about it
you have one kid think about another one think about another one You have one kid. Think about another one. Think about another one.
I don't know if you saw this DM.
I think it was to the ghost runners.
It might.
Sometimes people send me like DMs and I'm like, this feels like a ghost runners DM.
It's okay.
That's going to Alice custom creations.
Do you get those a lot?
Yeah.
Or it's like interesting.
But somebody sent us a DM trying to match make with our boy over here.
Timon.
Did you hear?
Did you see this?
No.
I'm going to pull it up. I'm not surprised. I'm i'm scared i'm scared it's for their niece i believe i should have had this pulled up beforehand because now i gotta find it um it's for their niece the bees niece
and i don't know i mean how much have we like timing can you talk a little bit longer to make
sure people really think that you're a catch because like yeah i feel like timon's talked
for like five seconds on the podcast yeah i feel like okay i need to start using my real voice more like i'm
not it's not like i put on a fake voice sure but when i'm close to a microphone oh there it is i
kind of start like i get a little talking like this and i feel like this is the time and the
people know on the podcast but i mean i talk i i haven't i do have a normal voice yeah i'm not
this this isn't exactly how i always talk, but I mean, I can.
He's got some ranch in the talking voice.
Yeah, it does seem like
and we talked about this a few weeks ago,
but the bar is just so low.
They're just like, hey, there's this guy. We've never
really seen him. He said a few sentences.
He said a couple things.
He's pretty smart.
Gave some really handy dating advice.
Let's ask
some real quick questions just to weed out
anybody who might have differing
feelings and theology than you.
Tymon, do you respect women?
I trick them.
I'm going to write this down.
Yes.
Do you believe
in love? Yes.
Okay.
Believes in love. Do you believe in love? Yes. Okay. I respect women.
Believes in love.
Simon believes in love. Do you shower regularly?
Yes.
Okay.
How do you feel about brushing your teeth?
Good.
Do you think vegetables are healthy or unhealthy?
I think they're healthy.
Okay.
Feels good.
It was quote good.
What about like bullying?
Quote was good.
What about bullying, Simon?
Bullying.
Do you like to bully kids?
I prefer not to.
Okay, that was good. I was trying to trick him there.
He didn't fall for the bait.
The tricker has become the tricked.
Okay, Tymon, let's say you're taking out my daughter.
You'd probably be really mean to her and not open her door or not pay for her meal, right?
No.
In fact, you would?
Quite the opposite.
He's passed all my tests.
That's good.
I wrote all this down.
Maybe like a year from now,
we can ask Tymon all these questions
and see if anything's changed.
Time capsule kind of thing.
Tymon capsule.
Yeah.
A Tymon capsule.
Oh, that's fun.
That's fun.
That's good.
Tymon,
I'm not going to tell you
whose side is on who,
but Brad and I actually,
I think,
differ on the stance
of like opening the car door
for a woman on the
first date.
Is that what it was?
Sure.
Yeah.
Well,
what are your thoughts?
I don't know.
Which side do you take?
You open it?
Do you not open it?
Here's the thing.
I think that some,
some girls could feel like I'm thinking less of them.
Like that you can open your own own you can't open your own
door i'm gonna open for you see so you you gotta read the room gotta read the car read the car
read the car a lot of people read the room a lot of people read the car so my fine print
yeah my car says chevy on it what do i do this is that a open the door chivalry oh you're just open yeah and yours says tisla
tisla so it says all right i uh wait time and you're wrong tesla you need to open the door
every time the lady opened the door yeah no open the door for her until she says don't
i'll die on my grave until she says no i'm okay you don't have to yeah okay
just know just know i'm thinking about it all right this this says also in case you were serious
about setting time it up on a dating show i nominate my niece i'm not gonna say her name
just in case she would get embarrassed she's 16 getting her associate's degree while in high
school and operates her own business whoa big into musical theater. The list
goes on, and she's a ghostie.
Whoa. Is she a looker?
I'll show it to Tymon and no one else.
We have a
photo? Yeah.
All right, Tymon. What if we just respond? That's the bar.
Far away.
Tymon's like, I mean...
Maybe zoom out. When i open the door for her
i it all honestly whoever the aunt of this woman i didn't even see the photo so don't don't think
that i'm like reacting i barely even did either i didn't see it across the room no she's cute
she's cute uh good yeah i'm sure if nothing else she's cute on the inside that's right which matters based on the photo i think she's got. She's cute. Good. Yeah. I'm sure if nothing else, she's cute on the inside. That's right.
Which matters.
Based on the photo, I think she's got a good personality.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Friendly.
I mean, owns and operates her own business, timing.
Wow.
You could do worse.
That's all I'm saying.
So bring your other matchmaking.
That is now the offer to beat.
Don't encourage it.
That's going to be tough to beat, though.
Musical theater.
Sounds like a successful associate's degree. Yeah mean she's practically running she's practically mark
cuban already yeah mark cuban with a voice mckayla cuban mckayla cuban yeah anyway that's pretty fun
i didn't know about all that yeah new segment of the week which girl for a time into a proof of this yes yeah every week just like a new new offering let's
talk a little bit more about this opening the door thing timing because i think i do like the
idea of like us us having a differing opinion you being the the final say we call it time and says
both okay you shouldn't be is what i'm trying to say. You should open both but not be open to both.
You should be open to both, yeah.
I'm opening for both.
I think first date especially,
open the door.
You can always, if the girl says,
hey, I'm okay, you don't have to do that.
Okay, no problem.
Open the door.
Jake thinks you're setting an unrealistic expectation.
I don't think it's unrealistic.
Open that door for the rest of her life if you have to.
Did you do that? I didn't
because I think eventually Catherine
would be like, I don't need you to do that anymore.
And we always had our hands
full of children and things.
But on dates,
I try to consciously do it.
If it's like, hey, tonight's date night.
Yeah.
Not in our garage, because that's weird.
I was actually noticing the space in your garage.
There's not a lot of room, even with the... Good thing you have a sliding door.
A hundred percent, dude.
I was looking at that yesterday.
Can you imagine?
Yeah.
No.
Trying to get out of there.
No, yeah.
It's a tight squeeze.
I do.
I am a fan of opening sliding doors for women.
Okay.
That I will do.
That makes sense.
Okay.
Hey, let me get the button.
What's so different about a sliding door, huh? Because. That I will do. That makes sense. Okay, so let me get the button. What's so different
about a sliding door, huh?
Because of the button?
Yeah, because I can do it
from a seated position
already in the car.
Oh, I see.
Like opening,
like with the girls in the car?
Uh-huh.
And like she's like six years old
in the back seat.
Okay.
Then I'm like,
oh yeah, let me open this up for you.
Yeah, we have a remote control
for our sliding door, so.
That seems like too much.
That just seems like
you're going to lose it.
Right?
Is there not just a button?
No, no, no.
Sorry.
A remote could...
Like a fob.
Like key fob.
Oh, so do I.
Yeah, from my minivan.
It's like a remote that you keep in the van.
Can you open up the glove box?
That's a door remote.
There's no other way to get out.
Sorry.
We lost the remote.
We're stuck in here forever.
It's like too much security.
You're like, that's excessive.
Anyway. No, yeah.
I think the expectation you said is one thing.
And also just like, I think kind of what Tywin said too.
I always felt a little weird.
Like, I will be, I'm very traditional.
A lot of senses, like I will pay for the meal.
I will pick you up.
I will give you a time.
I will choose everything.
Like, there's a lot of things like,
I am still willing to do all this.
But something about the door, it's just like,
you could do this.
You could do that.
You don't need me to do that for you.
You could, I know you're good at opening doors.
Sure.
It's definitely an inefficient like thing for sure.
Did you like growing up?
We, uh, not growing up in my fraternity in college, it was, well, I mean,
I grew up a lot in college.
Let me tell you.
Um, no, but it was like a rule.
Like if we were in like the main living room and there was a girl that
walked in at any
time, we always had to stand up for her.
Oh, that's kind of fun.
Yeah.
It was kind of like, yeah.
And it was one of those things.
And then the girl could be like, you can sit down.
Like it's not a big deal.
And I think sometimes it made girls feel uncomfortable, but I think other times it made them feel
respected.
So there is a balance.
I walk into farmhouse.
I'm going to get respected.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
So that's pretty fun.
Yeah.
It was, it was one of those things.
It was like that specific room.
It was like, well, it was like multiple different rooms. Like there were certain rooms. It was like a girl walks in here. No problem, dude. Like you're watching movie. You don't have to stand up during the movie. Stay seated, brother. Yeah. But some people were so like almost almost uncomfortably like strict about it. Like, hey, guys, guys, okay, calm down. Like anyway anyway we've seen this girl 20 times she's dating
gavin gavin's girl yeah anyway anyway um what else should we talk about i i guess you go ahead
i this is one of my favorite facebook posts from the past week in our in our facebook group go
check it out go start his podcast you're not a part of it. Ross has been killing it.
I feel like in every episode, he gives us a new
meme, at least one, and they're always so good.
So Ross is the man. There were so
many funny things
about the Ghost
Stories episode, the pooping in public.
It's like people really enjoyed that, which I
know there's probably a lot of people out there. Even my dad told me,
he's like, I was not really looking forward to listening to that episode.
I still listen to it, though, in that dad told me he's like i was not really looking forward to listening to that episode yeah i still listen to it though in that first story he's like
that was unbelievable and so even if you're maybe you skipped last wednesday and you're like hey i
don't really do that that doesn't sound that entertaining me i promise you just listen to 30
minutes of it listen to the us and the first story and i i guarantee you people laugh out loud it is
unbelievable i do feel like all of the stories were like like about poop but not super super gross if that makes sense yeah it's just like dang what it
just wild scenario to be yeah it was way more about the scenario than it was about like
the there was never like yeah any kind of like nastiness when it was like in detail about
anything like that i don't think yeah so yeah because because even like i was telling katherine
after we record i was like there was some funny stuff that happened and she was just like gross
i don't oh i don't know about this and i'm like just trust me just at least listen to the first
one give it a shot oh yeah it's so funny so great but probably my favorite facebook group post from
the past week was i sorry i can't remember who you are now but i heard she it was like she posted
late at night she's like i just have to post this group me and my husband are laying in bed right now next to each other and we're
having a contest to see who can whisper jake jake the quietest and we are in tears laughing
felt like i needed to share with you guys marriage is the best oh yeah sarah where's her name i think
was it good memory yeah and yeah i just thought that was so funny the idea something about just
like just planking just laying completely still and just trying to fall asleep.
But they're like,
just going back and forth quieter and quieter.

Ghostrunners.
Love you, Chaik.
Hey, I love you guys.
Love you, Chais. All right, guys. right guys all right brad your turn all right um i i guess we could call this currently trending uh i have a currently
trending in my life right now i was on i've been on peacock watching a lot of the office uh that's
like my my one you know 20 minutes of show recently i've been watching per day um and it's
just so great but peacock also has king of queens
on there and so now currently trending is watching king of queens and i know that a lot of people are
like oh it's old school sitcom you know whatever laugh track comedy but it gets me every once in a
while dude yeah i think part of part of it is doug heffernan and i like it's like i mean i just
relate to the guy so much in so many ways this This has a much more beautiful wife than he is. And like just a worker's man and just goofy.
And, but then Arthur specifically, Jerry Stiller's character is so, so funny. Um, and I think one of
the reasons that he's funny is because he has these very, very like this vast vocabulary that
you never know he's going to say. And so I wrote down,
I,
as,
as I noticed them,
the first one I was like,
I'm just going to remember to say that in a normal sentence.
Cause then I'll make me sound smart.
Cool.
But then I'm like,
no,
I'm going to,
I,
I noticed like it happened more and more times.
So I wrote down four different words and I want you to try to give me the
definitions for them.
Okay,
cool.
So in timing,
feel free to chime,
time and chime in here as well.
Yeah. Um, the first one is kowtow ever heard that before is it spelled c-o-w-t-o-w it's spelled k-o-w-t-o-w k-o-w-t-o-w
oh yes i've seen that word i don't know what it means k-o-w i don't yeah i don't think i've even
heard it is it said like kow kow like an onomat? Ka-tow! Like an onomatopoeia?
It's not an onomatopoeia.
Oh, I've heard the word.
I just haven't ever seen it.
Or like,
I have no idea.
Because it's an onomatopoeia.
You've heard like a ka-tow. It's generally a verb,
but it can also be a noun.
You can call somebody a ka-tow.
I think I'll go verb.
Let me give you the example sentence
from Merriam-Webster,
if that's okay.
Okay.
You can try ka-towing to the boss, but he'll see right through you.
Lying, fibbing, fabricating.
Sucking up to someone
like making
them
kissing their butt.
Yeah, Tymon got it.
Oh, nice.
The first definition I saw is not this one.
To show obsequious deference.
Oh, well, that helps.
To kneel and touch the forehead to the ground in token of homage, worship, or deep respect.
I worshiped you.
Let me see the one.
What did the definition say?
Obsequious deference?
Obsequious deference.
Doesn't that sound like...
What a jerk.
Merriam-Webster's being a jerk right there.
It sounds like the cheetah, which of course in Latin is obsequious deference. You know, like it sounds like the Latin What a jerk. Merriam-Webster's being a jerk, right? It sounds like the cheetah, which of course in Latin
is obsequious deferus. You know, like
it sounds like the Latin version of anything.
It just is like it's
like asking your AP teacher like, hey, can you help
me out with this? And she just gives you an even
more complicated answer than the right
answer. It's like what
here's the one that like when you search it on
search for your computer
to act in an excessively
subservient manner, I thought that one made sense. I know what subservient means. I don't know what
obsequious deference means very well. I kind of like the more we say it, the more I like it.
I see obsequious deference, sequence, deference. Oh, sequence. Yeah. So kowtow uh okay three more here i got buxom b-u-x-o-m you ever heard that word b-u-x
b-u-x-o-m sounds like a and he's just like throwing these words in this like sitcom of a
you know like cbs like yeah that's good yeah timing's right that does sound like a kid's name
like we have uh jimma um valvoline and buxom buxom does sound like a 21st century word or name in reality it's actually
a very old word this is a type of uh leather made from cowhide back in the day okay it's like oh
that's pretty nice that buxom am i close uh no it's an adjective actually oh okay um something
shiny i would say something that stands up tall.
Whoa.
That's pretty buxom.
Whoa.
That Empire State Building.
You see that new buxom?
I didn't realize they had such buxom buildings over here in New York City.
You play basketball, boy?
You are buxom.
Yeah.
What team?
Yeah, what college you play for?
Big buxom guy?
Buxom out?
Buxom? Buxom. The opposite of that to an extent,
uh,
vigorously or healthily plump.
Oh,
healthily plump,
healthily like a,
like a Chinese emperor.
Like he was so healthy that he could eat a lot.
Or so,
sorry.
So wealthy that he could afford to eat a lot.
Um,
yeah,
I think so.
Or like slim,
thick is Buxom.
I mean,
slim,
thick.
Yeah,
I think so. With healthily plump. Yeahxom mean slim thick? Yeah, I think so.
Healthily plump, yeah.
Here's an example.
What does Barry Owen Webster say about slim thick?
Let me see.
This is an example.
Kyle and Stan moved to LA and rent a beachfront condo
where their next door neighbors are two buxom dental hygienists.
I can't even, that sounds like a word problem.
Hold on.
Start over.
What?
They're dental hygienists?
Their neighbors are buxom dental hygienists
l mcpherson and this must be like a description for a movie or something l mcpherson and rebecca
ramjan with hearts of gold and taste for scientology there's too many details like i
it's like why are they dental hygienist if it's about like their weight yeah i don't i think that
was like a description for like a movie though i don't't know. Buxom. Healthily plump.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's specifically full bosomed.
I was going to say,
I was like,
I don't know if it's one that we should be using a ton in our daily lives.
Like,
wow,
mom,
you are Buxom.
Really?
That's what it means.
You playing basketball?
Yeah,
I think it just means tall.
You're right,
Jake.
Okay.
The next one is.
Buxom.
Luker. Luker. L-U-C-Ru-c-r-e oh i've heard this one c-r-e oh it reminds me of lacquer i don't know about lucre i'll tell you
this i i now after knowing the definition you will understand another word that's similar to it
and why lukewarm it means getting colder faster not faster no i'm just kidding
lucre it's liquor but you can't pronounce it right but it's like what drunk people call it
you got anywhere lucre i need to go to the lucre store do you got just just can you just drive me
like six it's like six minutes to the luc store please i'll pay you back mall looker
no uh actually it just means monetary gain or money like i heard that like what what would
you say is the adjective for lucre lucre loot lucra lucadonchit he i i honestly don't know
what are you saying ludicrous ludic? Oh, that project was very lucrative.
Lucrative.
Okay, we were circling it.
We would have found it eventually, Tymon.
Yeah, that would just be kind of the same word.
Correct, Tymon.
That's how English works.
Yeah, there we go.
I'm just kidding.
Oh, so the shorter word can be made longer
with a similar definition.
All right, and last.
What was the name?
Lucre.
Lucre.
L-U-c-r-e
monetary gain or profit um yep foreign cones coins are not acceptable lucre in most vending
machines in this country is the example sentence can we go back one how did uh jerry stiller use
buxom i should look it up i'll i'll look at it i didn't keep the context but i'll look it up
he's it's such a funny show, guys.
I'd like to know how I can use it.
Like if I see a woman who's recently had a kid.
You're thinking of Katie Kennedy.
I don't know.
And there have been changes that have happened to her.
Stomach's gotten smaller.
She's glowing.
She's had a kid.
Maybe in addition to that, I say, well, well, well, look who's buxom.
Would that be appropriate? Somebody's a little bux had a kid. Maybe in addition to that, I say, well, well, well, look who's Buxom. Would that be appropriate?
Somebody's a little Buxom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, here he goes.
I'll text her.
Without getting too far into the context, he says, and I'm going to try to do this in
my Jerry Stiller voice.
Okay.
Thank you.
RIP.
Anyway.
Oh my gosh.
That's so bad.
You went for it at least.
A manila folder awaits you.
Bucks them with knowledge.
That was such a bad impersonation.
I did.
Bucks them with knowledge.
I like that.
You're like, you're bursting with it.
Yeah.
Voluptuous.
Like you're falling out of it.
Vigorously plump.
Cool.
With knowledge.
Okay.
And then the last one here is just a phrase.
You're giving me the vapors
he said that to a woman or he said that about a woman that he was like um
telling a story about you're giving me the vapors give me the vapors you were giving me
and a vapor is a type of excuse and it's an excuse that allows you to get out of uh some
type of appointment you have later
in the day yes you're giving me six yeah there you go you're giving me the vapors that's it that's
how i was thinking yeah the real definition um is close yeah you're getting me hot to the point
of perspiration or you're creeping me out hardcore or those seem like two different words maybe yeah
it says this phrase has two meanings so cool hot to the point of perspiration hey you turn the seat here off what was the word
you're giving me the vapors i'm getting i will say this one is from urban dictionary not merriam
webster so it says dang annika will you take a look at that fine piece of meat over there
he's certifiably giving me the vapors certifiably okay when i just google it just says for an old phrase meaning a feeling of weakness or sadness
oh i like urban dictionaries better anyway fun times that's kind of fun yeah fun times the king
of queens that's great i think rachel and i show like that recently has been seinfeld
and i'm very impressed at how good Seinfeld still is.
Right.
I love it.
Yeah.
It's so good.
I feel like, yeah, I just appreciate it.
Really?
Good stuff in Seinfeld.
I don't know if we need to talk about this or not, but Catherine, oh, has been using
Rachel's laundry machine a lot.
So I've been seeing a little more Catherine.
Yeah.
And.
Dryer.
Yeah, the dryer specifically, I guess.
And yeah, laundry machine is kind of a
dumb term because it doesn't describe anything it could be washer or dryer oh it's not a script
you know like washing machine that is an appliance but a laundry machine isn't even a thing unless
they finally invent the thing that i've been talking about for years trapdoor bottom top
loader dump it in anyway um catherine had was over and she had just got back
from like the town hall meeting or something when this was like this past tuesday monday something
like that yeah i think and yeah she's like she's a she's a she's a civil servant for sure i i liked
it she was like telling me the story of like how she um she kind of just like didn't necessarily
stand up to some a little bit just like didn't necessarily stand up
to someone but a little bit just like shared her opinion on something and then received like a ton
of like i don't know very interesting very stern very like loud backlash and then turns out it was
the mayor yeah and everyone else was like the mayor has never done that to anyone like you've
really like riled her up like she's never like responded to someone like that yeah she's always
fired catherine up i was like are you gonna become mayor she's like no i know i'm never gonna do that i i don't know if
she's gonna let us keep this in here or not if not we'll put it on patreon okay uh but she yeah
it was not even like a like a fiery thing really i mean i was gonna say yeah does she explain what
it was yeah it was very chill it was very just like they were like hey we think the people of
this area of this part of shawnee want this and katherine was like well i i actually live in that area and i don't think i want that
well yeah it was like they're gonna put in this really high-end like dining restaurant like across
from mclean's and they're gonna like yeah fund it with like three million dollars of taxpayer money
and she's like i don't know if is that is that like a normal thing that like everyone does and
like and then like yeah the the mayor was just like yes it is it's yeah of course it is yeah that's
what that's what this one did too and i got really fiery with katherine she's like i just i don't
know my husband's a small business owner and he doesn't get you know a bunch of money from the
city like this and i don't i don't know it's just kind of this awkward interaction so yeah i don't
know how she'll feel about all that but yeah i'm always like dude katherine like you would be so good yeah i like that yeah i was like you have so
much care for this stuff like you're not one that's like gonna be ruthless and like mean and
stuff as a great leslie no yeah exactly you just care and so anyway that's funny um i just wrote
that down i wrote katherine. I wanted to become mayor.
I do like that.
Oh, one thing that I wrote down, it says water aerobics on Friday mornings?
So I was at the gym the other day.
Buxom.
Buxom.
I am Buxom with ideas.
I was at the gym the other day, and often when I get done with my workout, I'll'll go to the hot tub which obviously is right by the swimming pool obviously and on friday when i walk into like the main pool area there's probably at least 60 elderly people in the pool like getting ready to
do water aerobics 60 is a lot if it's elderly it you never see elderly in bunches really it was
wild it was so many.
And they were pretty evenly spread out.
But it was enough to where there's two pools.
There's a lap pool.
And then there's a more leisure pool.
They were all in leisure pool with the little water weights.
And then there were some people in the lap pool because there were so many.
And I thought to myself, would Jake and I like have some good experience?
Would you ever be interested in taking a guest pass with me?
And I mean, you might not be around for any Fridays for the next, you know, two months.
Honestly, we probably should.
I think it'd be so fun.
We probably should.
Because it's, there was like one woman there that was probably like 45 and she stood out like a sore thumb.
So I'm like, can you imagine if two dudes just
come up in there and just
I don't know what would be like
like obviously these workouts are not super intense.
What if we just like tried to like go
hard on these workouts or double time?
Yeah,
that is that is really funny and
could be so fun. Yeah, if it was like a normal water
works class, it might be a little worried, but if it's like primarily
elderly people, I think we do all right. Yeah, keep up. I'm not going to drown and like if anybody if it was like a normal water roe works class i might be a little worried but if it's like primarily elderly people i think we'd do all right like you can keep up i'm not gonna
drown and like if anybody if like here's a if anybody asks us like hey like are you guys just
here by yourselves or like no we're here with our grandma she's over there at the end there's no way
they're gonna fact check that like no woman no elderly woman can speak more than like five feet
away from her you know what i mean and so there's no way that she's gonna be like gladys and they probably can't hear us anyway it's like also yeah that's
my grandma she can't she can't hear real well but that's her yeah don't worry echoey don't
she's gonna wave at her anyway uh i i wrote that down of like this would be fun to do if i had
somebody else to do it with and i think jake is that person yeah yeah that does sound like something
pretty fun it sounds like something that we you and i would do once for fun and then rachel be
like that sounds pretty fun and then rachel would be the one who actually ends up going there once
a week every single friday and we just become best friends with these people so that's probably
also also true uh i had a nice run-in with someone at mclean's maybe it was last week one of those
weeks where we just kind of worked separately one day but um one comes up to me uh very direct very just like confident walks right to me you're a youtuber and i said
oh hey yes i am what's going on and she was like i i knew it i knew it my my kids they they love
your stuff and i think i've seen you and i was like that is that's awesome and and so we chatted
for a little bit took a quick selfie she away. And she comes back 10 minutes later.
She's like, hey, I'm sorry to bother you again.
My kids don't watch you.
I watch you.
She like felt conscious, like her guilt.
I truly don't know if it was like her lying the first time
or if she was like, couldn't place where she saw me.
And so she's like, yeah, I think my kids watch you.
And then she thought about it more and was like, wait, no,
I know this face from Gene Schwartzks or whatever so i was really fun and
just like a really funny interaction like my kids don't my kids don't have a clue you are yeah i
took that picture for me yeah i'll be honest yeah my kids i'm gonna show this to them and they're
gonna say big whoop mom they're gonna say they're gonna say big whoop you're gonna say it doesn't
look like it's anything lucre to me so that guy is not very lucrative but uh it'll be fun turns out she works with the chief cheerleaders and so i was like okay
oh that's fun i was like you know morgan she's like oh my or no no it started off with her saying
she's like i do stuff with chief sheer and so i've seen the videos like with you and morgan
and everything i was like oh my gosh that's so fun she's like yeah yeah do you know morgan and
i was like yeah yeah and she's like, right, because you did the videos together.
It was like the very next sentence.
She was flustered.
Yeah, it was pretty funny,
but she was really awesome,
and yeah, it was good to chat with her.
Dude, McLean's...
Laura Beth.
Yeah, it feels like we've gotten recognized
more often than not
when we're at McLean's these days,
in some ways.
It's been, yeah, it's been a good week.
Maybe since we recorded there once,
people are like, okay, they know us at McLean's.
Yeah.
It seems, yeah, it's just like a once per sitting.
Yeah.
It happens.
Yeah, it's always fun.
Yeah, it was fun.
Yeah, when I was with Luke yesterday,
a Black Dog guy came up to us and recognized me.
My phone was up, literally uploading a video to Jeanshorts.
And so if he was even somewhat doubtful,
I feel like he could have just looked at my phone and be like,
well, that's for sure the guy he's uploading as we speak
but i had so much fun talking to him he like works in like tech and startups and everything and
i was asking him a million questions and then he was the one who's like all right i'll let you go
i'll see you later i was like maybe i bashed him with too many questions i was having a good time
talking to him yeah i if you ever see us in public like talk to us as long as you want to i think i
think jake and i are more than happy to talk almost always like
like the guy that we saw at Black Dog the other day
was like hey Jesus George comedy we're like yeah
man what's your name you know yeah he's like I'm Darren
all right see you guys
okay I just
figure we could get to know you a little bit man
but although I will say the one weird one
we had this week or last week
I was on the phone yeah you're on the phone with Catherine
having like a pretty like I would say it wasn't
serious to the point where you couldn't have it in front of me.
But you guys were trying to do something very timely.
Oh yeah, I'll write down that. We can talk about that.
Yeah, you just want to get into it right now?
Sure. Yeah. It was just a weird bit.
She came up and was like, hey, Brad and Jake.
And Brad's like, hey, good to see you.
Oh yeah. Awesome.
That's cool. And then I'm trying to cheat
and just block you off entirely so you don't have to like be in this conversation with us oh yeah and yeah
it was interesting trying to navigate that anyway anyway uh catherine i mean she's just she's just
she's just wonderful she's great and she goes on kicks she got a new kick and i think this one
might be a kick to stay i hope this is a funny because if it's a kick then i'm gonna be very
upset that's why i'm like very like hesitant to like move forward with it. Sure. Like this is, this is
something I'm going to be very frustrated at if it doesn't work out because our house, we live in
the suburbs, we don't live on farmland at all. And she really wants to get some chickens in our
backyard. She wants some chickens and there's some women at our church, a couple of women that
came to that, uh,
birthday party for Hattie,
like the moms,
they have chickens.
One of them lives in Olathe.
Like she's like,
yeah, we used to have it in our neighborhood.
Um,
Catherine's like,
how wonderful would it be?
We,
we would never need eggs again.
Uh,
you know,
and that's of course like the most,
you know,
perfect scenario ever with it.
Free eggs.
And,
and I was like,
but all the work that's going to do to make this chicken coop and
like and what it's going to look silly in our yard blah blah and then the next day she sends me a
craigslist free stuff link to this person who's giving away this massive chicken coop and she's
like what do you think and of course like the night before we had talked about it enough to
the point where i was like i don't know know, maybe we, maybe we should do chickens.
That'd be kind of crazy.
And it'd be kind of cool.
And they even have like, like, I guess I know nothing or very little about chickens.
I killed 20 of them.
That's about the extent of my knowledge with chickens.
But, um, there's like, I guess you're supposed to like shut a door on them at night so that they like stay in and no one else gets in.
Um, probably why I killed 20 of them because i
didn't know that but no um but apparently there's like automatic doors now you don't have to go out
there and shut them yourself okay and so katherine's like i mean all you have to do is go and get the
get the eggs they're really easy they they don't eat very much and i'm like okay you're making it
sound pretty great it'd be kind of a sweet memory for hattie and bow and rosie like going out and
gathering eggs you know whatever all these just classic
like homestead homeschool
kind of vibes, but I'm like I'm into
it. I like it. And so she sends me this
thing the next day and
yeah, I contact the guy long story short
the the chicken coop was going to be way
way too big and like not
maybe not way too big was going to be too tall for our
fence. And so it's going to be like something you could
see like as you're driving by. I don't think either of us wanted that because for our fence. And so it's going to be like something you could see like as you're driving
by.
I don't think either of us wanted that because technically I don't know if
it's legal to have chickens in the city.
But anyway,
all this stuff was,
you know,
but Catherine like went over with the kids and was like checking it out and
talking,
talking all through it while this woman was,
you know,
talking to us.
And I'm like,
yeah,
yeah,
that's awesome that you listen to us. That's okay so the chicken coop blah blah so anyway time when
you guys have chickens uh we did we did we haven't for a few years okay but we had like
like 15 ish chickens for like a long time like she built her own give me your experience what
do you think um okay i was i I get it. Okay. No.
Okay.
The chickens are fun,
but there was like,
it was,
it's not really fun when it's,
when it's your responsibility to do all the maintenance,
which it wasn't really mine,
but like the reason we got rid of them is cause like it was too much.
It was kind of a lot.
15 is a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many were you thinking?
But the free eggs.
Heather was like four or five.
Free eggs are nice.
Yeah.
Yeah. They make a lot of noise. How many were you thinking? Catherine was like four or five. Free eggs are nice. Yeah. They make a lot of noise?
Not really. That's the other thing is
Catherine wants to put them in the corner
of our backyard, right by
our room.
And I'm like, am I going to wake up?
I'm going to try to take a nap.
Have one rooster wake you up every morning.
I wouldn't hate the rooster waking me up.
Dwight, you slept in. Yeah, rooster did it, bro.
Yeah.
Okay, but roosters, you got to be careful because they can be mean.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
You had some bad experiences with some roosters?
They're just the smallest little things and they're just terrifying.
I mean, we had like a bantam, like a little mini rooster, but he was probably the most
aggressive chicken I've ever seen.
Like mean to you or like mean to the other chickens?
More mean to people.
Yeah.
I don't like that.
Yeah.
How do you make sure you don't get any of those bantams?
Buxom bantams.
Buxom chicken.
I don't know.
I mean, just don't.
There's, just be careful, you know.
It's hard to tell when they're chicks, though.
I know.
We'll figure it out.
Anyway.
Yeah, good luck.
Might be getting a chicken coop in the old half-acre property.
That'd be awesome.
It's pretty cool.
Shawnee, Kansas.
Yeah, it could be.
It's one of those things where it's like, oh, I don't know about this, but at the same
time, ideal world sounds pretty fun.
At least try it out and you can always get it.
Just the fun of being able to say, we have chickens.
Yeah, totally. You want to name the chickens? always and like just the fun of being able to say we have chickens like that's just yeah totally you
want to name the chickens i mean rachel has so many memories on their farm of like they've named
so many cats and then the stray cats have kids and you know they've just gotten to name so many
animals it's so funny like you can just say any noun to rachel and she'll be like oh yeah we had a
we had a cat that name oh yeah cowtow yeah. I try to think what their current cat names even are. It's Ron, I know is one of them.
They named Ron when they thought of his-
They ran out of animal names.
They thought Ron was a guy, and then found out Ron was a girl, so now it's more like
Rhonda, I think.
Rhonda, yeah.
And I know the other one, Steve's favorite, is Splotchy.
I can't remember.
I wonder what that one looks like.
I like the idea of uh animals named like normal
names oh yeah boy so that was great yeah a little dog named barbara we went to a yeah we went to a
yeah somebody's house the other night and their dog's name was doug and it was funny like like
the is it a pug if so that's kind of annoying it was uh it was some kind of doodle um that's nice
i like that. Yeah.
It was like the little kid came out first.
It was like, hey, what's going on?
So what's your dog's name?
Dog.
Just funny.
You're a little kid.
Say that.
Even just like a one syllable dog name is also.
Yeah.
Just kind of.
It's just like quick.
Oh, yeah.
It's got to be one syllable.
No.
Oh, really?
Maybe not.
I feel like two syllable.
Really?
It's a great dog name. Tiger. Tiger tiger doing uh yeah he's becoming a little bit better a little more like
domesticated a little like every time i hear about him it's like not very positive from isaac
i think he loves him but it's like yeah he's it's just the dog itself yeah it's like it's not
does it behave super normally all the time like only at our house
barks and howls every time any door opens but then we were over at his parents house just fine that
door is opening closing no problem oh interesting um maybe he's like trying to protect everyone at
your house it's like this is my domain it'll be interesting though it's like i the dog will be in
my lap i will be petting him we'll be having fun for 20 minutes i go outside i forgot to send my car i come right back growling at me really dude even after he sees you yeah yeah he
sees me it's me smell me look at me dude yeah i got frustrated about him like we just we just
bonded come on how do we stop growling at me how did i get here with you stuff like that i think
he's got like some heartworm stuff
going on and his hair is kind of
falling out and you know, just like
dang, just like not
a perfect dog. Sure. Lovable
dog. Lovable guy. But yeah, still a good dog to
pet. Yeah. So that's been fun.
What time did we start recording, Tywin? Is it a little before 10?
We've been recording for an hour and 15 minutes.
Woo! I tell you what. Wrap this puppy

Knack Baxter via Apple Podcasts.

baby boy oh yeah congratulations knack yeah baby nicky nickki okay my review is also super short from chris
i said hey jake brad and timon that's me i've been trying to draft this message in my head
for the past two or three weeks so i apologize first off for the awkwardness and absurd length
because how short it is my name is chris and i live in baton rouge louisiana i found your podcast
through my wife introduced me to trey kenn's podcast and subsequently hearing Jake mention another podcast.
I immediately searched Jake Triplett Spotify
first thing to pop up, Ghost Runners.
Not only did this mean I was able to further envelop
myself with a joyous, positive, and friendly banter
of this awesome group of people,
but it gave me so much more binge material for long drives
to and from work.
I cannot say enough about how much
this podcast has saved me. I know you'll hear it
all the time, but there's a reason you do.
Y'all's drive and passion for living life to the fullest while raising God-centered families is an inspiration and beacon, good word, to those of us who have been through or going through difficult times.
Thanks, y'all, from the bottom of my Cajun heart for the life, love, and laughter that y'all bring to me daily.
I've had about a month of binging, and I feel like y'all are some of my best friends that I never had.
Tymon, Scott, Bo included. Come on. um i've had about a month of binging and i feel like y'all are some of my best friends that i never had time and scott bow included come on for so much of my life i uh i don't know if i
want to say this is an email so maybe i won't say all this um my parents are missionaries overseas
um and so with all the traveling to and from continents i often long for a tight-knit christian
group of lifelong friends like y'all exhibit every week, and I'm so grateful to feel like I'm a part of that. Additionally, y'all have especially served
as a vessel of joy and encouragement to me personally. Okay, sorry, I'm going to skip over
that too. But between the hilarious jokes, the catchy theme song, which gets stuck in my head
all day, and the offhand office quotes which go very appreciated
me every time having watched it front to back at least eight times i feel so included into every
episode and long to work with brad in the shop i'm also a carpenter go figure let's go uh or play
golf or nerds or any other board games with jake and rachel if i ever get a chance to meet you guys
in person i would love nothing more than just give you all a solid handshake man nod or full-on hug
for all the help you all have been to me.
I know this goes without saying,
but thank you again for doing what you all do and being who you all are.
I pray blessings over your families, upcoming weddings,
future business deals, and future,
and further growth and development of your amazing influence.
Wow.
In closing, I leave you with one last great thought.
You missed 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott.
Sincerely, Chris.
Chris, my man.
Holler at me. Let's make something together. He also said PS, but it's
about the wedding registry, so I'm not going to say it.
Yeah, don't say anything about the wedding registry.
Target, crate, and barrel. If you Google
Jake Triplett, Rachel Coop, you can find that wedding registry
really easy. We're working on getting that
removed, talking to my IT guy.
Talking to the guys that work in
SEO for my company. Talking to
the TikTok CEO.
I saw him in Congress.
I haven't answered some questions that revolved around that.
I love any time that tech CEOs have to go before Congress.
The questions they get asked.
The most recent one, one of the ones I saw,
maybe you saw some of these TikTok edits and whatnot,
but an old congressman is like,
so can TikTok access my home Wi-Fi and the tiktok see you like didn't
even know i had an answer he's very he's like oh didn't like if if you log into the wi-fi
then yes he's like okay thank you what are these what are some of these questions it's like it's
like meeting our country you're asking it's like in college like you're like hey you have to ask
two questions at some point in follow-up of a you know public speech uh and that guy's like okay i know this
guy's a tech guy i know wi-fi is a thing and he's talking about tiktok so let me say those two things
yeah that's great great review great review great review yeah from i been uh chris chris i just got
this email like right before we were recording.
That's amazing. Thought I'd share it.
Brad, would you like this episode with a jingle?
I would like to end it with a
throwback jingle because
Daddy's Voice, I don't think I could get
many more notes than this.
But what's happening next week? Next week,

Daddy's Voice is going to do a little live jingle.
Yeah. A little lingle.
Lucre lingle. It's going to be lucre. Very back. Yeah. Daddy's voice is going to do a little live jingle. Yeah. A little lingle. Lucre lingle.
