Jake, as you know, every once in a while, a little hack that I do, I go to the library to do some work.
Yes.
Remind everyone why you like it so much.
It's just, it's quiet.
Sometimes I can use the double monitor setup.
I feel like sometimes when you're on the desktop, like landline, landline, Ethernet cable, whatever, the Internet's so fast there.
I don't know.
It's just more efficient, more productive.
It's just wonderful in so many ways.
And just, you know, the librarians.
Everyone loves the librarians. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is mini clip still blocked?
Can't get on Facebook. Yeah. You can't. Yeah. Uh, e-bombs world. You can like go,
if you do like HTTP, you know, before it, you can get to e-bombs. Yeah. A little proxy.
Tymon has no idea what we're talking about. Um, but one thing, I went to the bathroom the other
day at the library, just number one, no problem. And, uh, came out and noticed they have a wide
variety, large selection of CDs to rent. Let me say it again, CDs to rent from the library. And
I'm not talking like educational, you know educational books on CD or anything like that.
No, like Kanye West.
You can rent a Kanye West CD from the library.
And I thought to myself,
Jacob Garland Triplett,
can you think of anything more of a waste of space
in the entire world
than a huge rack of CDs to rent from the library?
That's a crazy idea.
It's wild that they haven't moved on from
that because no one's rented those in years and years, but they're still offering it. Right.
Who is renting a CD? What scenario do you have to be in to where one, you need to consume music
via compact disc and two, where you would only need it for about two or three weeks?
Why do you need to rent? Are you going to, you know, put it on your computer and then listen to it on iTunes on your desktop?
Ooh. I mean, there was a life hack 15 years ago. That would've been good to just rent them from
the library. Just get them from the library. It's fine. It's like legal. I'm pretty sure,
but it's like, no nowadays, like, yeah, you, no one has CD players in cars that are built after 2016 probably.
And yeah, you can listen to Spotify as much as you want.
One ad is worth, to me, even if you don't have Spotify Premium,
one ad is worth not going to the library to rent a CD.
Totally.
One ad an hour?
Yeah.
That's such a giant waste of space.
So I don't know what else is waste.
Hey, on the boat ride down to uh, I got snow cones for sale. I want snow cones. I'm going to go snow cone machine.
Half the boat is just a snow cone machine. We got snow cones, popsicles, smoothies. Yeah.
What do you guys want? What'd you want? Uh, dang it. I was trying to, I thought it would come to
me. I love that you do that. I'm just like, oh, here it goes.
I was going to say
like a diving board or something like that.
Somebody's going to go swimming, but I was like, I don't know.
Beach balls? I would love to see that
on a stage someday. Crowd work.
Oh, this guy works in construction. Well, that must mean...
Oh, yeah, construction.
I was thinking like, crap.
I was going to go bulldozer, but
I don't know. That's all I had was bulldozer. Backhoe seems offensive., I was going to go bulldozer, but I don't know.
That's all I have is bulldozer.
Backhoe seems offensive.
I'm not going to say that.
Steam, steamroller.
Is that good?
Hard hat.
Well, not like that.
All right.
Whatever.
I was going to say something else.
Okay.
Is anyone a teacher?
I have teacher jokes.
Don't have any for that either.
It's going to be a good week.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Okay, great.
Oh, man.
My other waste of space were a microphone for Garrett Perkins
and facial hair follicles for Tymon.
Uh-oh.
Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. Hey, we're back. Hey, baby. Ghost Hunters Podcast. Ghost Hunters Podcast.
Hey, we're back.
Hey, baby.
Episode 258 brought to you by the Ghost Hunters.
Oh.
But do you notice how there would have been a chance there for a presenting sponsor?
Uh-huh, I did.
Sure did.
Maybe someday.
Hmm.
Presenting sponsor, possibly you.
A lot has happened. In a way, I had a birthday.
I had, that's about it. Brad, though, was out of town with his buddies. My buds. Buds with a Z. Buds with a Z. So yeah, where do you want to start? Last week? This week? Timings
play? We got to start with timings play? We got to start with Timon's Play.
We got to start with Timon's Play.
Was it Thursday night, Friday night?
Friday night.
Friday night, yep.
Sense and Sensibility.
Boy, do I know more about that show than I've ever known before.
Yeah, let's talk.
So yeah, Jake and I were like, yeah, let's make it a Timon's Play.
Let's get this thing going. And yeah, Jake, you it a time in its place. Get this thing going.
And yeah, Jake, you want to go Friday or Saturday?
Let's do Friday.
Okay, great.
So we come, 7 o'clock show.
Get there, 6.45-ish. 6.45.
Good for us.
Maybe 6.50.
Plenty of time.
Get to this theater.
Theater is a loose term.
Get to this strip mall.
Get to this strip mall, man.
Right down the road, we thought about getting a tattoo.
There was tattoos next door.
Is that what you share a wall with? Is it the tattoo
place or is that two down? I think we share a wall with a
cabinet construction guy.
And then, yeah, a nice tattoo
place. I mean, it was great. It was
community theater. It was exactly what you
think of with like, this is a
small town or whatever, small production, but very nice, nice seats, nice seats. Before we even got into
the seats though. I feel like we were like, I don't see any kind of branding for Greenleaf
theater. Let's just follow the crowd. Let's follow all the minivans that are walking in
like with their 15 kids. Like, and one of those minivan people, I mean, right away,
we're not even at the door yet. Hey, this guy loves your podcast.
Oh, this is great.
That's fun.
Quasimodos.
Quasimodos.
Quasimodos.
Yeah, they were great.
And then we get in there and we go to buy tickets.
And apparently it's sold out.
Boy, was that a scare.
Thanks, Timon, for the hookup.
Boy, was that a scare.
Yeah, we walk in. We're like, we're Timon's
friends. And they're like, okay.
Everyone here is Timon's friend.
Everyone knows Timon here.
Yeah, but they're like, oh, just buy
a ticket. You had to buy a ticket online. So Jake goes
online, sold out. And we're like, well,
see you tomorrow, I guess.
And they said, no, we'll put out two folding chairs
for you. Okay, great. And we're like, that's
fine. Yeah, whatever.
And luckily, it was quasi Quasimorski's that said,
you're not going to sit in those folding chairs the entire time.
There's some chairs right there.
You should go sit in them.
And we heated his advice.
And boy, did those chairs.
Those were comfortable chairs.
Really nice chairs.
Solid eight and a half out of ten comfort level on the chairs.
And the Quasimodos, great people to sit next to.
Great people.
Who did you sit next to, and what did she do at one point in the middle of the night?
Oh, yeah.
Do you know who it was?
Did you see us?
Sitting next to Brad.
She looked like a librarian.
Her daughter was one of the maids.
The best maid in the play, she said.
So I'm here for the best maid in the play she said so i'm here i'm here for the
best maid in the play cool yeah wait like was it a quasi borski no no that was my side oh
i don't know anyway uh but this woman first of all should know but you would have thought the
beatles walked into that theater my gosh like i've never felt more famous than i did that night
i mean everyone knew tim. And so then I think
everyone knew us because of it. When I got, cause you had sat down before me. I, when I finally sat
down, I sat down and I go, these are the nicest people in the world. Cause I don't even know if
the people I just talked to even know who I was. I think they're just extremely friendly. Yeah.
Maybe so. And then even then, I feel like the people in front of us turned around and they're
saying, what's up? Oh yeah. Quasimodos. They're chatting me up. They're from Iowa. Let's be friends. Right. Kevin, is that, is that yeah. Mr. Quasimodo. He was quasi nice. Um, no, but yeah, but I didn't know
that he knew us. I didn't know. Yeah. I was just being friendly. Uh, yeah, but like everyone was
so kind. Yeah. The woman next to us during the intermission. Um, I mean, imagine somebody who's
not good on their phone and has an Android. Uh, that's going to be a new running joke.
I think, uh, she's like pulling out her phone, like Jake's doing right now and was like trying
to, I have screwed up my own phone.
This is basically what she was doing too.
Basically she had her front facing camera trying to be discreet, I guess, about taking
a picture of just us, Abby, but was just putting the phone right
in front of our face. And I was like, I'll smile for the picture. She's like, you guys
are famous. Thanks. Who was this? I would love to know who this was. Yeah, it was, it
was one of the maids, one of the maids moms. Okay. So, um, but anyway anyway the play itself um it was it was awesome first of all it's a british play
uh which i think i probably would have known that if somebody asked jane austen pride and prejudice
i knew was british stuff but like i i expected like you know how like the lion king is set in
africa but like no one talks in an african accent yeah they're not doing a click clicking sound yeah
jonathan taylor thomas is simba and he just talks in his normal voice.
Like I thought,
okay,
time is just going to be American British guy.
No time.
Uh,
time to give us a line from it.
Ah,
um,
Scott cannot be sung by a languid tongue.
Oh,
yours is the first to give it a beating heart.
Oh,
yes.
That's our producer.
Yes.
That was honestly like, I kept waiting for somebody to be like bad
at their accent i know you know because they're i don't know how you're one of the younger ones
in the play you said right yeah but still like this it's younger i don't know like i don't know
how long people have been doing british accents yeah so i was just like somebody's gonna be really
bad eventually nope they were all very good at their acts did you get taught any of that not really it was just kind of like i mean there
were some most of us just kind of figured it out you know yeah go watch that's impressive exactly
i mean yeah and i'm or i grew up on like audiobooks like yeah that had like british
like british accents that's like where i would have gotten mine probably. That's what Mrs.
What's her name?
Kwasiworski?
Yeah.
What's her first name though?
Amara?
Amara, yep.
Camera.
Camera.
Yeah, front-facing Amara.
She said that she watched a lot of BBC with her kids.
And so she's like, I'm very into this.
My husband, he's here.
He's here to support his daughter.
David Attenborough.
Drone shots. Sense and sensibility. Before it here to support his daughter. David Attenborough. Drone shots.
Sense and sensibility.
Before it's been unkempt.
But man, yeah, it was awesome.
I'll say this for the play.
I don't know how long the... Let's look it up real fast.
How many pages are Sense and Sensibility?
Because I bet it's
500 pages, and I could
have told you that from the length of the play.
It was like a, uh, I mean, we probably went an hour 45 and there was like,
all right, intermission. Yeah. So it's like, Ooh, yeah, that's right.
A good amount of time to break for halfway through. Yeah. Um, and then we're,
and I was like, well, the second half is always a little bit shorter, shorter. Yeah. And then we're... But I was like, well, the second half is always a little bit shorter.
It's always quite a bit shorter.
Yeah.
And then we're at like total
like two and a half hours
and there is part of me
that's like,
I wonder if this is the end,
but it's like,
I mean,
we got a lot of loose ends
to tie up.
If this is the end
then this story sucks
because it needs to resolve.
Marianne's about to die.
Right.
I'm worried about her.
Marianne's struggling over there.
Yeah.
Which Marianne,
what's her name again?
Josie. Josie.
Josie.
The Evolve Videography guys,
they sent me some footage of when you and Tymon were singing.
And when you guys were singing that Backstreet Boys song,
she is in the audience.
They cut to her.
She's in the audience singing every word.
Yes, Josie.
Marianne's alive and well.
It was really fun to see that.
Full circle, Josie dating Kwasi Korski.
Noah Kwasi Korski.
Noah.
Noah, who was the one who took a picture with me
at the PGA show or whatever it was.
And then took a picture with me
at his church's picnic thing.
And then knows Tymon.
So he's like the only one's got a selfie with all three.
Wow.
Or like in the wild.
Yeah.
And his younger brother is Seth. Is that right? Yes. Seth, cool guy. I learned that. I was like, Seth,'s got a selfie with all three. Wow. Or like in the wild. Yeah. And his younger brother is Seth.
Is that right?
Yes.
Seth, cool guy.
I learned that.
I was like, Seth, you do a lot of stuff here.
Seth is, I think, a freshman.
And he's like, no, I take a lot of the improv classes here.
I was like, well, you can just take third-party high school improv.
I didn't know this existed.
That's so fun.
He's like, yeah, I really like it.
And I was like, can I do it?
Yeah, we can learn some things from you probably, Seth.
Can I join?
Is there like an 18 and up?
Like, Seth, do you ever start sentences
without knowing exactly what the punchline is going to be?
Or is that like a bad thing to do in improv?
I mean, that seems great to me.
Set yourself up for success, at least.
Yes, and?
Oh, boy.
It'll come to me.
It'll come to me in a second.
You guys keep going.
I'll think of it.
I'll get there.
Instruction.
But yeah, it was so fun. I think it was
it was doubly fun knowing
more people than just time in the I'm
glad I knew Graydon, Zach and
Oliver
Graydon, Zach and that light hair kid
come to me. The Colonel
Colonel Colonel Brandon
didn't love Colonel in the in the play
did love his character in the end. Didn't love his character.
In the end, sure.
Sure.
But I mean, I was rooting for Tymon at one.
Dude, okay.
Yeah.
So yeah, like Graydon, Zach, and Oliver
all come out there way before Tymon does.
And so every time the lights go out,
which we'll talk about.
Yeah, I heard that.
Every time the lights go out,
you see somebody kind of come out on the
stage it's like i think it's time that's our guy here it comes here's our time and it took like
what five scenes before you came out 45 minutes was it let's go good job and but boy was it worth
the wait oh he came out there first of all wearing the same vest that he did the roast
i was like i recognize that yep he said he's like i'm gonna wear that same vest uh he did the roast. I was like, I recognize that. Yep. He said, he's like, I'm going to wear the same vest. Uh, but I mean, Tymon's character is supposed to be the stud
kind of like womanizer. And you did, dude, you looked like, I was like, Tymon's a good looking
kid. Yeah. Yeah. He looked tall. Yeah. You look tall. Yeah. Thank you. Like you. Yeah. Those
boots really like elongated you, I think, or something, which aren't even real boots. You
showed me. Yeah. just fake boot covers.
Fake boot covers.
And I mean, Tymon had an attitude to him,
a swagger to him that was unmatched.
A British swagger.
A British swagger.
And then, so he comes out.
I don't remember exactly.
Like you introduce yourself somehow to somebody.
Like basically you're wooing Marianne, right?
And then the next scene, I think, or maybe it's two scenes.
They're like in the living room or wherever they are, like whatever the scene is.
And time is on the ground, like put with his arm up against a bench, just like singing
along to these like merry old songs.
One knee is up.
I think.
Oh man.
I, you know, I didn't know what the rules were on cameras, but I was like, I got to take a picture of this. This is the most amazing like look ever.
And then, uh, Quasabodo was like, going to use that. I bet. Yeah. I was like, Oh, does he?
Okay. He might know who we are. Yeah. Turns out everyone knew who he was. Um, yeah, dude,
timing was so good. What is that? Like, can you give us a taste of the song or whatever
you're singing in that part uh we're like she's marianne's playing the piano and stuff yes and
you're you're just i mean like you're just like so like perched back and just like like looking
into the sky like the good old days of like, ah, I love this song. Love the countryside.
Yeah.
You just want me to sing a line from this song?
100% I do.
Sing as many lines as you want.
How does it start?
It's like already I have, it's like all left me
because I don't have to remember it anymore.
Yeah, it's like a cram for a test.
But how does it even start?
Let's see.
I took a live photo of it so we can listen to three seconds and then you can
get it from there.
How about that?
For some resourcefulness.
I wasn't,
I wasn't singing at that point.
Well,
timing,
it'll come back to you when you listen to it.
I promise.
It's like a mind at peace with all below a heart.
Whose love is innocent heart whose love is mine quite the range i mean like and he's got his
fist like kind of like it's like he's singing like an old battle song from back when he was at war
oh it's so good dude it's so funny uh we got to meet tymon's mom yes maria yes yeah okay mama imps yeah she was great yeah i was
i think too excited to meet her i might have been 10 times i think i i needed to cool it down a
little bit did you did you go did you hug i didn't hug no but like metaphysically i feel like i hugged
with your eyes you were like i am so excited to see you.
Yeah.
I was just pumped to see it.
It's so fun when you know someone for so long.
It's like, yeah, I'm pumped to meet who made this.
It's so fun to brag on somebody else's kids.
That's what I was really excited to do.
Your son, you should be so proud of him
in a million ways. I'm sure you are,
but let me just tell you, he's awesome.
I went on for about five minutes doing a little time and monologue.
She's like, well, you know, we definitely tell him he needs to stay humble.
I was like, no, I think he is.
I was like, I'm the one telling him, you know, you know, but I was like,
but I told her, I was like, no, just like last week on the podcast,
ask time and a fit like granny booth unlocked or unleash anything.
And he said, no, yeah, good being a productionaboo unlocked or unleashed anything, and he said no. It's good being
a production guy. Just enjoying himself.
Yeah. I also
multiple times, I think it was just like,
thank you for trusting us.
Yeah, I said that too. Thanks for letting me come over.
And then I think eventually she was like, should I have trusted you?
You're really surprised I'm doing this.
Seriously, I cannot believe you let
him do the things he does. It's wild.
I mean, if you knew,
if you only knew
what goes on in that podcast
studio.
But yeah, she was great.
Everything was great. But let's talk about
time. And maybe you already know
all this, but our favorite part of the
entire night was
in between scenes.
Is the director doing that every time?
Yeah, director. Do you know what we're talking about?
I think so.
I wrote down three words. Torchlight lady.
Oh!
Yeah, so
I mean, it's
dark. It's dark enough that we couldn't tell
if it's timing or not coming out on
in between scenes. It's dark.
You can see some shadows.
You can see things going on, you know, they're changing stuff up and you know, when the,
when the scene's about to start, like, you know, when everything's done moving the table,
everyone's in place, everyone's in place, everyone else is off the stage, but that's
not good enough.
This director, uh, she had like one of those like electric candles, like, you know, just
whatever battery poweredpowered candles.
I feel like Christmas time, you see them a lot as decor maybe.
And that was what she used to signal to the person in the back to put the lights up.
But yeah, you would have thought she was, I don't know.
747 was coming down and we got to park this thing.
No, 747 was an emergency coming down. Like it wasn't like a, it wasn't like a, it was always like, I mean, ready for this time?
You got it.
Got a good shot of this.
It was like this.
Every now and then there was some horizontal movement too.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
This is a little cross doing a quick Hail Mary with the torch.
And so, you know, at first like we were like, okay, that's kind of fun.
And then I kind of whispered Jake, like, is that kind of funny to you?
He's like, that's hilarious.
And then, you know, we were like, not really ranking them, but like,
everyone's wild.
Jake would be like, oh, that was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
Oh.
Because it was the speed of it.
Yes.
Because it was like, she would close the door.
Oh, that's right.
And then would leave like six inches for her arm.
And it's just going.
Yeah.
And then shut the door. Oh, man. And I love the fact that you can see her shutting the door. Right. arm and it's just going and then shut the door oh man and i love
the fact that you can see her shutting the door like right yeah you know it's over 100 oh it was
awesome and the music was going while she did it hurting my shoulder doing this so rapidly your
rotator cuff is messed up oh yeah so that was like that was a really good part that was like
an inside joke between jake and i have like like no one else seemed to be no one else cared you know but yeah elbow brad like
you checked out yeah the kawasaki's were not excited about it but yeah i wasn't elbowing him
but oh man yeah that was fun and then i just wrote down we got to see um midji in action yeah midji
but midji yeah she was awesome honestly, like maybe I just,
imaginative enough where I envelop myself into the play, but I was like, she, I, I like this girl.
Like, like she seems like a wonderful girl, but I don't know if she is, maybe it's just her
character. But like, I was like, this is a high character girl right here. Do you want to explain
maybe why her name is Midgey to us? I think that's just what
her parents called her. She was born a little premature. No, Midji or preemie. Yeah. So her
real name is Maisie, correct? Yeah. And we were practicing time and his friends and I were
practicing for Grande Boo, the first song we all did together. They were talking about different people that were
going to come. I was like, oh. I know that
Tymon had talked about Maisie before,
his friend Maisie. I was like, but I couldn't
remember her name. I was like, oh, is one of your friends,
what's her name? Is it Midgey?
It's not Midgey.
All of his friends
just thought it was amazing. Now we just call her Midgey.
I just remember all of my friends
just being silent and looking at you confused zach just goes mazy it was so funny does she know
that we call her mitchie yeah have you told her that okay i did for a while i thought it'd be
really funny if we just like referred to her as midgie like when she's around and she just does
not know like that we're talking right right her name but code names for people yeah she she knows
midge yeah see they everyone did such a good job.
I was very impressed.
Not that I had low standards coming into it,
but, I mean, strip mall, you lower your standards a little bit.
You have to.
But I knew timing was so skilled and all these other –
like Graydon?
You talked about Graydon.
I was going to say, I was going to give out some character qualities
or something.
Yeah, please.
Well, let me explain his character.
What's his character's name again?
Edward Ferris.
Yes.
Edward, yeah.
I mean, his character in the play is just very like...
Anxious.
Doesn't have game, basically.
He's nervous.
He's the anti-Willoughby.
Yeah.
But he's also the one that you fall in love with.
That's the guy that is the guy.
Good guy.
Him and Colonel Brandon.
And yeah, Graydon just played it to a T. in love with, you know, like that's the guy that is the guy. Good guy. Him and Colonel Brandon. And
yeah, Graydon just played it to a T.
He did a really good job being like
just kind of socially
anxious the whole time.
Like,
yeah,
couldn't quite, couldn't quite
still,
couldn't quite, couldn't find all the words.
Couldn't get more than
a few words in a time.
Had to keep looking around to make sure he was
saying the right thing.
That looks a little bit more like Tourette's than what Rain was doing.
Not that far off.
I was going to say, I think you did a pretty good job.
You did better than I could.
Maybe I did a little too much. Maybe you did a pretty good job you did better than i maybe i was too maybe
i did a little too much maybe i did a little too much i think grayton had really exceptional like
subtle physical comedy yeah or not comedy physical just like acting whatever yeah um
zach on the other hand what brought so much humor my gosh to his part he was awesome he was so funny
he so zach's like the bigger guy.
He's muscular.
Stout.
Unit.
Absolute unit.
But I think it would have been funny if I didn't know Zach.
But since we've hung out with him a little bit, it was like, this is hilarious.
Yeah. I really liked watching him.
Was he supposed to be a grandpa?
He was like.
Or how old was he supposed to be?
Probably 60s or something.
Yeah. I don't know. I will say that was the most difficult part. A little tricky. Was like, okay. grandpa uh he was like or how old was he supposed to be probably 60s or something yeah that i will
say that was the most difficult part a little tricky was like okay a bunch of high schoolers
couple adults thrown in like he was supposed to be like a 60 year old but then there was another
woman that was supposed to be like 90 right maybe or something like that like older than him yes

Sorry,
Mitch.
I'm just saying,

i'm like josie marianne yeah she was great almost died you think she was better than midge i i give
it to marianne i don't know man you really respect midge the whole time like like she has her head
on her shoulder she's not getting wooed by all these guys over here. I, yeah. I mean, I'm saying like the performance.
I thought.
Oh, they were both.
Yeah, that's fair.
I thought Jost just barely edged out old Midjo.
Yep.
And Oliver did great too.
Midjo.
Old Midjo.
Midjo was her name.
Oh, and then there were ghosties in the crowd.
Oh yeah.
They were at Grande Boo.
Yeah.
Paul Bryant, Holyfield.
Yeah.
And Arena, his wife. Looks just like his name. Uh- name. And we get there and we were like, no way. Are you here
just for time? And they weren't, they were here for their friend, someone they go to church with.
Yeah. But so fun. Well, that was a good start to the podcast. It was a good recap. Yeah. I just
wrote down in my notes. Timon was so perfect. So I just want you to know, Tymon, you did such a good job.
Thank you.
Genuinely.
It was awesome.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah, dude.
It was great.
We left, like, Jake was like on a high.
He was like, that was so fun.
I was.
That was awesome.
Yeah, I could have stayed there for another hour talking to those people.
They were so great.
And it just reminded me a little bit of like youth ministry to an extent of like.
It was, yeah.
Whereas hanging out with teens, like there's an energy to teenagers, you know?
Like there's an energy of high school kids.
It's like, yeah, like everyone's an energy to high school kids.
Everyone's just excited to give their two cents about stuff. And it was good for you and I
to get to use some of those Gen Z words
that Scott was telling us about. Yeah, we were like, dude,
that play was bussing.
No cap, no cap.
Facts all printers.
No printers. Whatever.
That was you. That was me.
I heard you saying bus busting a lot which
timon's mom didn't really understand it but that's what i said shoot i should be telling
graden this yeah timon is low-key like amazing yeah his whole thing was lit torch lady was lit
torch lady was electronically lit oh man just the the i do they do that every time no really don't think so. This isn't kind of a new thing. It's like, yeah,
it was small out of our production. We didn't have like walkie talkies or
anything. So it's like, I mean, just give it a little light up with the candle.
Yeah. Like, like if it were just a quick, like flicker, that's fine.
I think flicker, you know, whatever, but the, just so dramatic.
I think I remember someone backstage
being like, they're laughing at Rebecca
with the camera. No way!
They heard us. They said that?
I don't think it was Friday night. I don't think it was like
you guys, but I think other shows, people really thought
like, kind of did think it was funny. Really?
And it was like, they're not supposed to laugh at this.
I was going to say, I don't think we were laughing
that loud. We were just quiet
like, that was awesome. Oh, I don't think we were laughing that loud. We were just quiet. Like, that was awesome.
Oh, I will say, along the lines of Jake,
last time when you were talking about how the stand-up show is probably one of the most quiet ever,
the Friday night show that you guys were at,
dead crowd compared to the other three shows.
Really?
Other three shows, everyone was just dying laughing at stuff.
Isn't that interesting how you could do the same thing night to night
and just crowds are just different?
Oh, yeah. So weird. And what's interesting is it usually is matinee crowds that are dead at like stuff and just like isn't that interesting how you do the same thing night to night and just crowds are just different oh yeah
so weird
and what's interesting is
it's usually
it's matinee crowds
that are like dead
because it's like
middle of the afternoon
like they're the
I don't know
but the matinee even
was just like
going crazy
it was Friday night
that was
just not
it wasn't busted
sorry
I will say in comedy
the late Friday shows
are always our worst shows
of the weekend
something to do
I think I've talked
about this before on the podcast.
It's been all week. It's late.
Whereas Saturday, maybe they slept in a little
bit. They're fired up. Saturday shows
are always great. But late Friday,
it's us, dude.
Tyler, give us your review
of how everything went for the play.
I think it went really great. I think it
was
kind of surprising how great it did go
considering like how last minute, some of the things were thrown together, but like
the last like three days of rehearsals just like brought everything to where it needed to be.
Yeah. But yeah, it was leading up to it. I was like a little nervous, but then it was, yeah,
I, uh, there, there were a few times where I was like, well, they're doing like a choreographed
dance number over here and I'm just listening to dialogue
right here. I was like, I need to appreciate whatever's going
on here more.
People asked on the Facebook page
if I cried. I did not cry,
Tymon, just letting you know, but I was very proud
of you. So just let you know.
Maybe cry next time, please.
Saturday show, there were a lot of tears.
Yeah.
Graydon was going up there bowing at the end. Um, maybe cry next time, please. Saturday show. There are a lot of tears. Yeah. Yeah. Great.
Great.
And was going up there bowing.
Thank you.
Last thing about the play.
Then we can move on.
Uh, I'm curious about the, like the financial or like that.
Like, do you get paid to do this?
Do you have to pay to do this?
Cause we paid for tickets.
Where does that money go?
It's we, the people in it pay to do it.
Just like a fairly small fee
to just get into it.
But yeah, it'd be nice to get paid for it.
But yeah,
no, it's not like
a paid thing. Not yet.
Okay, I was just curious.
Yep. Alright. Also,
Jake got roasted for his short shorts, which I didn't even
notice until later. I feel like they photographed shorter than they were. They definitely his short shorts, which I didn't even notice until later.
I feel like they photographed shorter than they were.
They definitely did.
I feel like they didn't look that weird in person.
No, I didn't.
I didn't think twice about them in person,
but then you posted a picture of the three of us.
Who took our picture?
Tymon's mom?
Yeah.
Who to blame?
She did something.
She did something.
She photoshopped it real quick.
Yeah.
Really fast.
Really fast.
Yeah.
They did look really short,
and I was like, I didn't notice them at all.
I think I would have noticed them if they were short.
Also, you guys will be all right if I wear short shorts.
It's all good.
Oh, people might be stumbling.
Oh, you think so?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, leg hair.
Oh, not his thigh.
No.
Anyway. Anyway, a couple things I want to talk about.
One, Main Street Roasters.
Quick disclaimer, side effect.
Do you see Madison McCullough posted in the Facebook group?
She was like, I was up at like 3 a.m.
I was buzzing on my Main Street Roasters.
Something happened and she apparently accidentally deleted me from the Schmorz vote from last week.
What?
Yeah.
So. Like the iPhone one? iPhone features one. Apparently accidentally deleted me from the Schmorrs vote from last week. What? Yeah.
So.
Which, like the iPhone one?
iPhone features one.
Does this mean I am now winning?
I guess so. I had like 60% of the vote.
Yeah, you had it pretty strong.
Main Street Roasters caused her to delete me.
So just FYI.
Don't roast in Schmorrs.
Yeah, in a way she roasted and then roasted.
Yeah, she did.
Double jeopardy.
Yeah, she roasted too long. Okay. So just be careful. It will have you buzzing,
but we, as long as major roasters are not accountable for what your fingers do after that.
Yes. Thumbs included. Right. But get their coffee. But they are a great coffee shop.
So many different great options for on mainstreeroasters.com for coffee flavors and
whatnot.
So check them out. They got a promo code for 10% off with GRKC.
GRKC. Check them out on Instagram too. Why not?
They have, I want them, they have a, at their actual shop, they have a name of the day that
I think gets a free coffee. And just once I want them to put timing in there. Just once.
It's fun that they do that.
Yeah. I know. How fun is that?
So if you see your name
and you're within three hours of them,
you gotta go.
You gotta.
You gotta go.
And if you don't like coffee,
get it for somebody else.
They got gift cards.
People love coffee.
It's a good gift.
People, yeah, absolutely.
It's thoughtful.
And I've been getting more and more passionate
about family-owned businesses.
And it's a wonderful family
that has been running this business
and doing a great job with it. So support small families, support mainstream
roasters. Nice. Perfect segue. Talk about Integrated. How was it?
Integrated was great. As a reminder, it's this fatherhood group that I'm in.
The whole idea is like integrating faith, family, and business. So all these people that are there,
95% of them are business owners. Um, and if not, they're
leaders with flexibility that can, uh, be more intentional about integrating their families into
their works and their lives. And it's not as much about work-life balance as much as his work-life
integration. So, um, it was really good. It was different this year, um, because it's getting
bigger. It is now like 85 people in this thing. Yeah. As whereas
before, I think when I started, it was like 35 maybe. Um, and so on one hand it's awesome because
you're meeting all these really cool people that are doing really cool things. There's like, like,
there's a few YouTubers that I've never even heard of. Have you heard of J Stu? No. You heard of him
timing? He's got seven, some million followers or subscribers and i think he's
just like he's kind of like a mr beast style like challenge videos i think a lot of kids like him
um him and this guy named zealous jeez another one i've heard of him you have heard of him yeah
his name is matthew but yeah his uh youtube is zealous both those guys are like yeah just it
was cool to like talk content with these guys.
There was another YouTube strategist that joined who's like-
I would love that.
Yeah, really close friends with like any YouTube person
you could ever imagine.
And so just talking about branding
and talking about how to tell your story
and your YouTube channel and all that stuff.
And so had some really cool talks and it was cool.
How old is this zealous guy?
He kind of looks like Oliver.
He's young. He's 23, I think. Okay. Not even married yet. Uh, but he's in this group of four fathers. And so on some levels it's like wildly like, like, what are you doing? But
on the other, like he was giving great insight to things. Um, but both those guys, which I felt
really cool about, like, they were like, wait, I've, I've seen a bunch of your videos before.
Oh, cool. And it's like, oh, that's fun that somebody that big, like knows who we are. So, um, anyway, but like,
it was, it was a different vibe because it was so big. Um, it felt more like a conference than a,
like more intimate meetup kind of thing. Um, but John Tyson was there. John Tyson spoke. He's a
wonderful pastor from New York City. He's Australian.
And so, I mean, he just gave really cool things about, I don't know, just really, really cool insight.
Kangaroos.
He's the one.
Have we talked about how he talked a couple of years ago about how Americans use such violent language for like doing well?
Oh, yeah.
You're crushing it.
Yeah.
You're dominating. You're killing it. Yeah. You're dominating. You're killing it.
Yeah. Whatever. All these different things. He thinks it's so funny, but he was just,
he was wonderful. Uh, yeah, I'm trying to, it's hard to summarize. I'll probably try to do some
more Patreon content for it or something with all the fun stuff, uh, or like all the deeper,
like fatherhood stuff, but, um, just came out of it with a motivation to continue to be intentional
with my family, grow a deeper vision, you know, think deeper than just, you know, 15 years down
the line. It's like, Hey, don't like this. The goal should not be for you to raise your kids
for 18 years. And then they leave your life forever. The goal should be like to integrate
your children into at least give them opportunities to integrate into your business in the future,
whatever that looks like. So, um, do you have,
can you give us like one or two bullet points? Like, what are you,
what do you feel fired up about? Like this week?
Like I'm excited to get back and start doing this thing, implement this.
I mean, okay. One of the things is Genesis one 28 be fruitful and multiply.
Honestly, no, I fired up. Hey,
Catherine found a verse. Coming in.
Coming in hot.
Just the idea of...
You're following her around the house.
Genesis 128.
Come back here.
Genesis 128.
It says it.
I told you.
Told you this would change me.
Would you run away from God like this?
No, but that was like, like the first
night was, uh, you know, Jeremy Pryor was this wonderful guy. Just yeah. Mentor of mine. Somebody
I look up to. Yeah. Be fruitful and multiply is not a command in the Bible as much as it is a
blessing of the Bible. It says be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. And I
was like, what does subdue mean? I think, you know, in my interpretation, it means like to govern well, to like, to rule over the world in a very,
not rule, I'm not ruling over the world, but like, like as Christians, we are, we have a blessing to
have children and to create families that are going to make a difference for Jesus. And so.
Subdue, quick definition, overcome or bring under control.
Bring under control. Yeah. So anyway, that pumped me up. More practically, I'm excited to
intentionally have some rhythms in our week where we, Catherine and I, have a meeting every week,
like a... Cool.
Almost like a business meeting, not super exciting, not nearly as sexy as Jesus was from 28,
but something that's like, hey, let's make sexy as, you know, just 128, but, um, you know,
something that's like, Hey, let's, let's make sure we're on the same page and let's have intentional,
you know, practices in place to do that. Um, and then just the idea of, I don't know, just,
just implementing traditions and rhythms within our family, like yearly traditions, I think are
going to be exciting. You know, uh, Jeremy's funny. Jeremy's like so into Jewish culture. Cause he like lived in Israel for a
while and it was like really into like ancient holidays, biblical holidays within the Jewish
culture. And so he's like, you guys should do these holidays. And on some levels I'm like,
I don't know if we're going to add any more holidays.
I guess a lot of gifts for three kids.
Yeah. But it's like, it'd be cool not to celebrate holidays that are just commercialized,
but celebrate them that are more centered just solely around Jesus and the gospel.
And so he's got all these different ideas.
So I don't know if I'm going to implement them exactly like he wanted me to, but...
We got one coming up.
Any Jewish holidays you know about?
Sukkot is coming up.
Oh, hey, get your main tree roasters for Sukkot around the corner.
Yep.
I think that's in like September.
So check it out.
Sukkot.
Also, like, I don't understand them completely, but I think Sukkot is something where you
like have like some sort of tent or something.
It's odd.
I mean, it's ancient.
Around you.
And so TJ was like, that should be your
business is you just build two coat tents for people. Dude, why don't you just do that full
time? That's easy, right? Um, but overall it was a wonderful time. Uh, TJ was sick. TJ was sick
last year and this year. I think it's like an altitude thing. Uh, cause he lives in sea level
now. And so he's like really sensitive or something to it. I don't know. Um, so that was kind of a bummer. Cause I felt like I felt sad because he was sad. Um, but overall we
played pickleball every day, uh, every day. And you know, you've met Beth, you know, Becky,
he's just a funny guy. Like just like can't stop talking kind of thing. And that translates over
the pickleball court. Well, good. I like that. Oh man. Yeah. He would fit in good with our friend group.
It's like, we don't stop talking when we're playing.
Oh bro.
Yeah.
And he, I feel like most people that I was, I was playing with TJ, my friend, Ian, who
also lives on Maui with them and Bethke, uh, the first day we were there and they're all
used to playing with them.
And so they were just letting them talk and not responding, but I was just, I couldn't,
I couldn't not respond.
Cause like I hit it, there would be a time where I would hit it,
and I'd be like, dang it, that one was going out.
He's like, that one wasn't going out.
That one wasn't going out.
I was like, yes, it was.
And there's just no arguing with him.
He's just like, no, I was putting topspin on it, dude.
I know you think it's going out,
but I was putting topspin on that.
I was going in.
I just couldn't help myself.
But yes, it was, dude.
How was the competition?
How was everybody at pickleball?
Fine. You know how,
like not, not great. Uh, but, but when you play with somebody that's not very experienced in the
strategy, sometimes it messes with you more because they're not, they're not doing what
you anticipate. Oh yeah. Like, you know, you drop it in, but they don't come to the kitchen with
you. Yes. Now you're screwed. It's like, what are you, what are you doing here? Yeah. Um, but yeah,
overall I did not play great.
I did not represent our pickleball community here very well,
but had a lot of fun playing.
Yeah, anyway.
Speaking of pickleball, real quick,
I got a text on my birthday this past Sunday,
and it was just like this random guy.
I don't even know how he got my number,
but he was like, hey, my name's Aaron. I know who you are through some like CannaCuck circles. I just moved this random guy. I don't even know how he got my number, but he's like, hey, my name's Aaron.
I know who you are through some like CannaCuck circles.
I just moved to Kansas City.
I'm joining this pickleball league.
You want to play with me?
And I was like, yeah, I'm in.
He's like, actually?
And I was like, yeah.
Why not?
Sounds good.
Say yes.
Let's do it.
And anyway, then a couple days later,
he was like, dude, bad news. I called the league, told them we're in,
and they said not enough people signed up,
so they're not doing a league anymore.
Oh, bummer.
I was like, dang, that would have been fun.
Next time, Aaron, recruit some people.
Let us know.
We'll all just join the league.
I was going to say, yeah.
We'll create our own.
So I was like, well, dude, let's play anyway.
And so then I think two nights ago, me, him, and Isaac, and Peter all played.
Fun.
And yeah, he's stud.
He's good at pickleball.
So I was like, yeah, you just got to start playing with us. We'll just have our own league or whatever. That would be fun. But yeah, we got a new friend while you were gone. Fun. And yeah, he's a stud. Yeah. He's good at pickleball. So I was like, yeah, you just got to start playing with us
once and for all or whatever.
That would be fun.
But yeah, we got a new friend
while you were gone.
Aaron, what's Aaron's last name?
Whited.
Whited.
I think.
I've never heard him say it,
but he just spelled it one time
when he called me.
Fun.
And yeah, it was great.
He's married,
just moved to Kansas City.
I asked him who his wife was
and he's like, her name's Celia.
Her main name is Rose.
And I go, oh, yeah, she's from St. Louis.
And he's like, yeah, how do you know that?
And I was like, I don't know.
Jeez, how do I know that?
It was like a really weird, like a slumdog moment.
Where I was like, how did I, where did I just pull that from?
I don't know.
Sorry, this is weird.
I don't know.
I don't even know if I know her.
I officially think I traced it back.
I think when I worked for K-Life,
we would go down to Branson for Young Christians Weekend.
I think St. Louis K-Life was there with us or something.
Okay.
Weird part of the brain or something.
But for a while, I was a perv ball.
I feel like I was like, oh, yeah, Celia.
Oh, because she was a high schooler?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, St. Louis.
I remember.
Oh, yeah.
I had a similar, like, randomly yesterday, Adam Busby, another guy in the group, mentioned he's like, yeah, I've been to Wichita Falls, wow. Yeah, St. Louis. I remember. Oh, yeah. I had a similar, like, randomly yesterday, Adam Busby, another guy in the group, mentioned, he's like, yeah, I've been to Wichita Falls, Texas once.
I don't know how we were talking about that.
And I was like, I don't know why I remember this, but you went to Wichita Falls to pick up a generator for a brand deal.
You're totally right.
I don't know.
I was like, I just remember you told me that one time.
Yeah, that's what you said.
I remembered it.
Anyway, but yeah, it was a great time.
I do have a little segment.
As far as like the serious stuff,
where you get into the serious stuff of Integrated on Patreon or something.
But one night just hanging out,
we just shot the breeze with some goofy Ghostrunners type things.
As far as basically half-baked business ideas is what we were calling.
Oh,
love that.
Um,
and so we came up with quite a few,
some of them that should not be said on the podcast.
Probably you were coming up with them on the fly or like,
Hey,
if anyone has had any,
some of them.
So,
so one guy was kind of leading his name is Mark Parrott.
He has a podcast called Abraham's wallet.
If you're a financial interest in finances,
he's awesome.
He's a great guy.
Um, but he kind of had some, I feel like in the hopper, but then Chad masters,
another friend of ours, he was kind of throwing stuff in and I hear like my name across the room,
like Brad, Brad, you got to come over. You would love this. Yeah. Because, because they love the WNBA idea. Like they think that's like the crown jewel of all the, all these ideas. So crown jewel,
they're like, I mean, you, you nailed on the head with the pluck. Like they always do the pluck thing. They think that's like the crown jewel of all these ideas. The crown jewel.
They're like, I mean, you nailed on the head with the pluck.
They always do the pluck thing.
But these are just some of them.
I just want to just rapid fire go through these.
Let me know your thoughts on them.
Okay, fine. Either of you.
Tymon, you too.
Okay, so let's see.
One of them, we call it Plinko U, okay?
Great name already.
Yeah. we call it Plinko U. Okay. Great, great name already. So, yeah. So, and this would seem like
it's a little bit abstract in my head. What it is, is you go to this university, you know,
freshman orientation, first day you have this big Plinko board and you drop your thing in there
and wherever it says, wherever it lands, that's what you're going to study. So you might be a
lawyer, you might study, you know, art, you might be a janitor, like whatever it is. And then there's,
maybe there's another one that's like scholarship scholarship for, uh, where, which dorm you're
going to live in, you know, all these different things. And so I talked about like, and so,
you know, we're just going around the circle, like, okay, there could be macro Plinko you stuff.
And then they're micro every single day. Like you drop it in there. Like, I guess I'm a celiac today. Okay. I get $5 for lunch today. I get $30 for lunch today.
Alopecia. Oh yeah. Hey, that's Plinko. You that's Plinko you for you. If you, if you didn't like it,
you shouldn't have signed up micro for diseases or strengths or anything uh so that's plinko you uh another one that a guy
came up with was he's like okay you know and i'm not gonna say his name because it's kind of a silly
thing that maybe he doesn't want everyone to know but he's a big old i think he played in the nfl at
one point like but yeah awesome big old athlete and big black dude in the NFL at one point, but yeah, awesome, big old athlete and
big black dude. And he's like, okay, you know when you're at somebody else's house and you got to go
to the bathroom, but it sounds really loud when you're in there. And I was like, yeah. He's like,
I'm kind of self-conscious about that. So I think you should do something called a tinkle buffer
spray. I was like, okay. He's like, you spray it in the toilet and it foams up. And then when you go, when you go number one, people can't hear it as much.
I was like, you got like a silencer for your pee.
He's like, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
It was like an, like an attachment, like on the end of it.
Like, all right, put my silencer on.
I was like, okay.
Okay.
But the negative thing about you spraying like a shaving cream, basically in the toilet,
you're going to hear that too.
And people are going to be like, what in the world is he doing in there oh he's that's that's his silencer keeping it inconspicuous
you hear that that's his silencer uh so that's that's another one tinkle buffer spray real quick
on that i actually uh i was on the phone with someone yesterday and it was like this call is
going for a while i gotta pee yes but you can take care of it and i'll tell you how and go see he's gonna be like oh classic jake
you sit down and pee on the bowl part i didn't have to mute it no one knew at all that i was
peeing during that on the ball yeah when you said pee on the bowl part i was like well don't do that
it's a mess sorry sorry the the internal bowl like ceramic part. You don't pee on the water. Yeah.
It's so quiet.
Well, I always try to go around the bowl anyway.
If you're standing up?
Most of the time.
Really?
I feel like the water is the bullseye.
I go for the end zone, the back.
You're trying to like coffin corner punt it? Yeah, 100%.
Put on the one yard line.
Pin them deep.
Yeah.
Okay, that'll transition into the next one,
which we've kind of talked about this one to an extent on the podcast a while back.
But I said like a live casino,
basically average Joe's against professional athletes,
where you can either participate and or bet on other people.
And so like let's say like you got a baseball diamond
and you walk up to the plate and you're up against a major league pitcher.
And people stop me and they're like,
you wouldn't even make contact on this pitcher.
Great.
I was like, great.
Bet against me.
I was like, you bet $5, you win $0.25 if I don't get a hit.
But if you bet $5 and I do get a hit, you win $1,000 or whatever it is.
Like crazy odds.
And so we were talking about like that, like soccer shootout goals.
And I was like, what if you did a kickoff return and you get seven yards?
Like, well, you get seven yards on a kickoff return.
Not only would it be fun to participate, but it'd be hilarious.
Like if they're live stream somehow, you know, like, like if you can do,
you can live bet on this from your house, from your computer, on your phone.
This is my favorite one.
And you, you, but, but you have no profile on the guy.
You just get a look at him. And so you see me out there. His name is Paul Bryant Holyfield. I don't know.
You don't even know if he's going to catch the kickoff. Yeah. And so, yeah, they're all, you
know, could you, you know, score in basketball? Could you get a first down if you get four downs
as a quarterback? Yeah. How long could you ride a bull riding? Right. Like, you know, over under
one and a half seconds. Right. That's basically just getting out of the gate. Sure long could you ride a bull riding? Right. Like, you know, over under one and a half seconds. Right.
That's basically just getting out of the gate.
Sure.
Can you hang on getting out of the gate?
Right.
That's fun. Every sport.
Yes.
Yeah. Like, can Michael Phelps do like four times the length that you can?
Sure.
Can he do 200 before you do 50?
Yeah. It's kind of like last week on the two mile run. Like, could you run a mile
in the time that this guy does too? Or, you know, what, like, could you return a serve from a
tennis player? No, I don't think so. But just in case, did you see that? I feel like it went viral.
There was a fantasy football league where they decided the draft order because they all bet on
how fast the two and a half year old would run a 40 yard dash. And so they all had times and it
was pretty funny. Yeah. It went viral. And of course one guy guests like eight seconds and
the top comment is like, okay, that guy has no idea how two-year-olds work.
Eight seconds?
Yeah, maybe he'll really understand the assignment
and run pretty quick.
Right.
Did the two-year-old stop halfway through?
He fell one time.
Okay.
And yeah, I think he ended up at like 25 seconds or something.
That's fun.
I should run a 40-yard dash with Bo.
Yeah.
I bet I could beat him, but I'm not positive.
No.
I bet I could take him.
If you had to participate in one of those sports
in order to win some money, what would you do?
Oh, good question.
Let's say the odds are all 100 to 1.
Kick return is the first one that stands out.
Okay.
I think I could catch it.
I would get destroyed.
I mean.
And that's the other thing you have to think about is like,
you're assuming a lot of risk on your body as well.
That is, yeah. Which that would be crazy too. It's like, all right, you're, you're assuming a lot of risk on your body as well. That is. Yeah.
Which that would be crazy too.
It's like,
all right.
Uh,
how long can he last against,
uh,
like a,
a washed up Mike Tyson?
Right.
Oh yeah.
We talked about that one too.
Boxing would be fun.
UFC wrestling.
All of them are pretty dangerous.
Yeah.
So maybe I do one.
It's not super dangerous.
Just like,
can I,
can I get one ping pong point?
Like he's got to go to 20.
I got to get to one.
And you just smack it as hard as you can.
Just like, surely one of them is going to go to 20. I got to get to one. And you just smack it as hard as you can. Surely one of them
is going to graze the edge.
Yeah, maybe I do that.
I mean, if we can get
pro pickleballers in there,
I feel like maybe
they screw up one time
against me.
I had to play against
some recently.
I don't know if we talked
about that when we last recorded,
but we did a video
against some of the pros.
These guys are both
top 10 in the world.
And it was was a game where
as we play them in singles and as
they go, their paddle gets worse.
Well, I started off, so I had to play them against an actual paddle.
So it's like, all right, we're going to start off
with a Walmart paddle. It doesn't make a huge difference
if you're a professional pickleball player.
I was getting torched.
They're good. I'll say that. They're better than us.
What was the hardest?
Was it the velocity which they hit or was the hardest, like, was it the velocity,
which they hit or was it more just like the placement of everything?
Oh, placement singles.
You have so much ground to cover and they're so good anticipating.
And honestly, it was crazy too, that how easily of a transition they made to a, we give them
a badminton racket and these things are way longer, smaller, sweet spot and no problem.
Yeah.
They dominated it.
Especially if they're X tennis players. I don't know if they are, but yeah. Wow. The dominated it. Especially if they're ex-tennis players.
I don't know if they are, but.
Yeah.
Wow.
The ping pong paddle they had a little trouble with.
It's hard to generate, I think, speed on the size of a pickleball court.
Right. With something the size of your hand, basically.
That's fun.
It was fun.
Anyway, what would you do?
What would your events be?
I mean, probably the true answer is like a soccer, like, you know, whatever that is.
What's penalty kick?
But I don't know.
It'd be pretty fun.
Would you be doing the kicking or the goalie-ing?
Oh, I'd be doing the kicking.
Okay.
I'm not good at soccer.
But kicking a ball once?
Those goals are huge.
Yeah, I guess I'd be interested.
Let's go some time.
Maybe I'll do one of those quick fake kicks
and then kick a behind-me thing.
I bet that would work. I would like to see that
one chance. I do that.
I would also think
I would like to think that if I had
four chances to throw for a
first down and I needed 10 yards
total that I could do it
that would just be fun to do. It
would be so fun to be really fun to do. It
would be awesome. I would take a shotgun snap
15 yards back. Just give me some time to see the field 15 yards back and just do a little screen, you know,
like, yeah, yeah. They can't get to me. But then again, with the screens, the thing is that the
offensive linemen are supposed to let the defensive guys get through. That's fine. I got 15 yards. No
problem. Just a quick, quick toss. That would be really fun. I also think like if I got a hundred
pitches from an MLB pitcher, you would surely kind of...
But you've got to get a hit.
Not hit the ball.
Get a hit.
Yeah, that'd be tough.
Especially, I mean, he could just throw sliders at me all day,
and I would just never make contact with a 91-hour slider.
You know, I'd just have to get lucky.
Because you'd be like, that's a fastball.
No, it's not.
This time he's doing a fastball.
No, it's not.
It's still not a fastball.
Ty, what would your sport be?
Oh, I guess a pro. Oh, man. I, he's not. No, he's not. It's still not a fastball. Ty, what would your sport be? Oh. Against a pro.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
I'm just so bad at any sport.
Maybe something soccer related.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You versus Brad.
That'd be fun.
Penalty kicks.
Yeah.
Just a one-to-one.
You can do it against your friends.
I'm still really bad at soccer, so I don't know.
I mean, there's just nothing that I'm that great at.
I don't know.
That's okay.
Basketball. You're really great. There is a lot that you're really great at., so I don't know. I mean, there's just nothing that I'm like that great at. I don't know. That's okay. Basketball.
You're really great.
There is a lot that you're really great at.
Swimming.
You could swim.
Tommy's got a swimming buddy.
Yeah.
Willoughby.
Willoughby would swim.
Willoughby would do polo on the polo grounds.
Yeah, he's a country clubber.
Two more that we got here.
Oh, wow.
Sweet.
Yeah.
Felony land.
It's an amusement park. It's an amusement park. Think of, think of amusement
park meets grand theft auto. So everyone else in the amusement park is a paid actor. Um, and
you are basically, uh, like tasked with, uh, well, that's the word successfully performing a heist.
And so maybe one of the levels, one of the,
one of the buildings is like a, you know, replica of the Smithsonian. And you got to try to steal
something from that, or, you know, you're trying to steal a declaration of independence or whatever
it is. Um, and Mark, he was like, and there's different spicy levels to it. Spiciness is like,
you do spicy level one, you get caught, you know, they crack open a beer and you say, Hey, you're,
you're out, you're done. Here's a beer. Have fun. He's like spicy level 10. They are beating you down until
you die. He's like, he's like, you know, there's, there's different levels here.
How are these ideas coming about? Like, is it one guy starts off with, he has fully developed
felony land ready to go. Or he's like, what if there was something where you were trying to
commit a high faked idea? So it's just like, uh, I mean,
it's a very ghostwriters ask like conversation where it's just like,
kind of like Airbnb back in the day.
Remember that?
Yeah.
How did that go?
I don't know how we started,
but it was just like a,
yeah,
a rental rent,
renting dogs when you're out on the road and you just want to companion.
Yeah.
Airbnb.
Yeah.
Cause I remember I was also big on the,
cause this kind of sounds like a reality show felony land.
Cause I was big on that.
I want a reality show where you're trying to see who's gay.
Oh, yeah. And
you were told that one person was
gay. Yes. So everyone else
is trying to act gay, and in the end,
the twist is none of you were gay the whole time. Yeah.
That's right. Yeah, something like that.
I do remember that. And one of you was a felon.
Yeah, Felonyland, and then we kind of had an
opposite of that. The name Felonyland.
Felonyland is awesome. It's so funny. Oh, man. Mark had an opposite of that name. Felony land is awesome.
It's so funny. Oh man. Mark had a lot of good. I'm remembering another one that he called,
what did he call it? Uh, I don't remember, but he called it, the idea was that it was a bar,
but it was, uh, all, it was communist. And so, and the idea was, so it's like everyone there
pays the exact same amount at the end of the day. Like, and so, and he's like, and there's going to
be a $2,500 bottle of scotch available.
So you're sitting there having dinner.
Will you go for the scotch
or will you go for a regular thing?
I don't trust Americans to pull this off.
You can maybe get away with that.
I don't know.
Where are they really, really generous?
Everywhere else?
Africa, Norway, New Zealand?
I don't know.
Oh, man.
I feel like I had an idea like that one time where you're you go to a restaurant and your dinner is free but you have like you know
like at chili's you get that little like dashboard kind of screen or whatever and there's games on it
no one actually ever plays the game yeah but at this restaurant you're you see your tab and it
goes down as you play these games and as you're forced to see advertisements.
And as you see ads,
your bill goes down. That's a great idea.
Yes. Well, yeah.
Thank you. I feel like, would it not just be overran
by homeless people pretty quickly?
I don't know. I would do it.
Let's start marketing to the homeless then. Homeless ads.
Yeah.
I was going to say, what's wrong with marketing to homeless people?
But then they can't really convert very well if they don't have much money to buy the advertisements but i'm like
i i like i don't i like this um a few more because i just remembered more that mark said
uh one of them he had a bar called larry o'brien's okay um time if you don't know
slash jake the larry o'brien trophy is the trophy you get when you win the nba finals okay and so he's like ever the best part about anybody winning a championship
ever is the champagne bath uh what if what if you go to larry o'brien's and it's just a champagne
like you know everyone's just celebrating the entire time at larry o'brien
just hilarious like idea after idea and then the last one we had was basically an Airbnb
or some kind of a rental where you get to assume, uh, the role of somebody else for a day, basically
like, like, let's say like, I've always wanted to be a doctor and I've always just wanted to like,
pretend like I'm doing surgery. And so like, I think it looks so cool in the, in the shows when they wash up and then they go into the OR to the elbow, you know, they
like, yeah, they push, yeah. Push on the door and go in the OR just without, you know, touching
anything with their hands or like, all right, what's the situation here? Or like, or like,
you know, the, the greatest court scene you've ever imagined with you can't handle the truth
or whatever. And the judge banging on the gavel or something. And so we just went crazy with that of like different things you could do professional athletes. Uh, we talked about like,
how do you get to be them? Maybe I just rent you, you, you, you pay for the experience,
like a VR experience. Like they have a camera. I don't know. Maybe that's, that's your,
that's your idea, but you pay for the experience to see them or to be them.
You, I don't truly, I don't know how,
I don't know.
It's half baked.
It's not quite full form.
It's like,
I don't know.
Implant the chip with the knowledge of a doctor.
Yeah.
Like,
yeah.
No,
I don't know how you like,
I don't know.
You can obviously can't perform open heart surgery for real.
Uh,
but you could,
you could go and have like a bunch of actors in a courtroom and like just get people all
riled up and then people cheer for you and stuff. Just the feeling of it. Yeah. It's all like a, it's in a courtroom and like, just get people all riled up and then
people cheer for you and stuff. Just the feeling of it. Yeah. It's all like a, it's like jury duty
kind of thing. Like everyone will pretend that you're the guy. I think that'd be so fun. It's
kind of like a, what is like, um, it was like discovery centers or something where like, yeah,
you could pretend to be the weatherman. Yes. Yes. How fun, how fun would that be? Oh, I can't
remember all the examples we had, but we had so many different ideas for that so oh and then sorry one more keep going we had plenty of them uh gabe conti if you
guys know who that is he's i do do you yeah i my sister watches jess and gabriel yes used to anyway
yeah which sister we know two of them now uh older sister anna uh yes yeah like a couple years
crippled great opening song, that's right.
Time and sister was in the play and was amazing.
Yeah.
Um,
yeah.
So Gabe,
he is,
he's really into those,
uh,
like high speed go karts.
I think we talked about it before.
I love those things.
And so he's like,
what if we did,
um,
basically a Mario,
like you have a head,
uh,
helmet that has like AR augmented reality.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um,
where you can see like things on the path,
like Mario,
Mario cart basically.
And so you get,
you know,
a shell and you can shoot it towards somebody or something.
So it's like Mario cart,
but in real life.
Fun.
I know.
I was like,
that's,
that's actually a really good idea that you should actually do if it's,
if it's possible.
Like dude,
I'm gonna tell you right now,
that sounds fully baked.
That is,
that thing is ready to get out of the oven.
Ready for consumption.
So anyway, lots of half-baked ideas.
We'll keep thinking of more.
Let me know if you guys have any.
Jake, you think of some more.
It's just fun to think about those kind of things.
Yeah.
I mainly, yeah, I just couldn't think of the restaurant one right now,
but I'll be back.
The restaurant one is really good.
You like that?
Free food?
We got to think about like the cons of it.
Yeah, like what's the catch here?
Yeah, I have my doubts about that.
Talk about it.
No, I just feel like you're just going to like milk it
and you know you're not going to like do anything with these ads
unless they're just like that great of products that are in the ads.
But it's like I don't know how much.
There is a fascination, like marketing wise.
Sorry for cutting you off time.
Oh, you're good.
You're good.
I had nothing.
I mean, yeah.
Like half baked idea.
Yeah.
I think, I think like just mentally,
even if you don't do anything with the ad,
I think as like a marketing nerd,
I'm like, they're still getting implanted in there.
Like you're still,
something's happening with every ad that you hear,
every ad that you see.
I think the ads would be very interactive.
This isn't just watching a YouTube pre-roll
just waiting to hit skip ad.
You have to move the Windex
onto the glass. Your finger is
touching the ad. That's valuable.
Those mobile games that
make you play the thing.
I don't know.
They say that is so valuable with consumers.
If you can get them touching your products,
if you get them like physically interacting with it,
that's so much more valuable.
This reminds me of,
isn't there like a thing where you have to like sit through a presentation
and then you get like a free time share presentation.
Yeah.
Something like that.
I heard that in a standup bit recently.
And those reminds me of timeshares work.
Oh,
I say that at the beginning of my set.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um,
well maybe it's, maybe it's not free food maybe
it's just very very affordable good food yeah i guess yeah we'd have to figure out the money like
all right this is what your bill is the ads can knock it down 50 you still have to pay a little
bit you got it paid for that way it's not just people just being absolute freeloaders but it's
people that recognize like like gunner would be all over this.
Like people that recognize like,
that's a good value.
I would be all over this,
you know,
like I'll go there every night.
Um,
and maybe you have affinity towards Windex now.
Cause it's like,
they supported this amazing,
like they're innovative.
Like this,
this,
uh,
restaurant is.
Yeah.
So,
uh,
Oh,
little,
a little breaking news for you real quick. Okay. Uh, uh, Oh, little, a little breaking news for you real quick.
Okay.
Uh,
Shawnee mission park.
Oh,
we're near where we live.
Whatever.
We can tell you.
I mentioned Parkway Quivira,
uh,
Shawnee Parkway Quivira.
Got it.
Ish.
You know where the Applebee's is?
Yeah.
Guess what that's turned into?
What a burger.
Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A baby.
No way.
Oh baby.
Can't move now.
Uh,
it's going to be a drive through only Chick-fil-A. There's going to. Oh, baby. Can't move now. It's going to be a drive-through only Chick-fil-A.
There's going to be like an outdoor seating, but no indoor seating.
Yeah.
Huh.
That's fine.
It'd be fun to work there, though.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I mean, we love working out at Chick-fil-A sometimes.
We can have fun with the drive-through working Chick-fil-A, too.
Yeah.
No, not actually work there.
No, I mean like work out of there.
I thought you meant like we should be employees there. I was like, okay, man. Yeah, if you want to. No,
that's still, that's still really good news. Yeah. That's awesome. I'm pumped. Wow. Yeah.
Timon, hear that? Yeah. Hear that Timon? You can't quit. Um, that's awesome. There's a lot
of good ideas. Yes. Thank you. If you out there have any good ideas maybe you need a video for it i'd hit up
the guys at evolve videography dude you said that they send us some uh footage from the grande
it's awesome yeah it is great they do such a good job i already have hired them more to do
some friday pickleball stuff so yeah they're great uh i think if i'm hiring them you guys
should hire them if you have any um needs or anything video wise, they're just such studs
to work with. I know they're going to be crazy successful in this industry just because of how,
how genuine they are and how just present they are and the quality of their work. So.
And you, you hired them remotely, right? Like you took the footage and you sent it to them.
So that's, that's an option. Like they do editing as well as video production themselves. Yeah. And I will say they're editing from the couple of videos
they've sent over already. It's like really, really fun. I'm like, dang, put some time into
this. Like this is, it really hyped me up. So yeah, they do a phenomenal job. I really,
I just can't say enough about them. They do a great job. If you need anything in the video
world, they, they do a lot of weddings, but they'll do anything else too if you need something if you got a business if you got a product facebook ad yeah just as a commercial they're
two ghosties two brothers that own this thing together two ghosties filmed all the grande

Oh,
Brad.
Anyway.
Um,
how was your experience at the PPA?
Oh,
it was pretty fun.
It was,
I mean,
that crazy heat wave was here.
Most of it,
which I think most of America experienced,
but that was nuts.
It was wild. Apparently PPA was professional pickleball association. Yeah. Yeah most of America experienced, but that was nuts. It was wild.
PPA was Professional Pickleball Association.
Yeah, yeah, they came to Kansas City.
Tournament was in Kansas City.
And yeah, I heard that like refs were like following my-
Dropping.
They lost like seven one day.
Yeah.
They didn't die.
Right.
But like, you know, he didn't take a break.
Yeah.
Yeah, seven refs died.
I'm surprised more people are talking about it.
Because apparently it's like a lot of older people
and they had to wear pants. Yeah, I saw had to wear pants yeah it's a bad combo dude pickleball is still just so funny i
mean like they bring in this guy to like dj it but he is just like blaring edm between every set
and every game and it's just nothing but like people i mean it's like friday at 11 a.m so who
do you think is there retired people you
don't need right you know calvin harris tiesto chain smokers remix right now yeah i think you
can play brown-eyed girl you could yeah you could play billy joel and be just fine we'll be fired up
so it's just it's so funny but yeah there was a lot of drama in the pickleball world so that was
kind of fun being there for that but overall it's great uh scott would always would text us every time he got recognized which is great maybe not
every time but he would like just take a selfie this is awesome and dusty our guide vulcan he's
the man he listens and he was like i he texted me and goes i just saw scott get recognized it
was awesome that's so fun and scott i'm sure is just so excited about it yeah it's pretty cool
people are recognizing scott individually isaac. And yeah, it's fun to take it off.
We went, I went with the kids on Saturday morning for just hours to maybe.
Yeah. What'd they think?
They had fun. There was a woman there that gave him, gave them kind bars and trophies,
little mini trophies. She's like, do you want to be part of the unicorn club?
And I was like, whoa, lady, what are we doing here?
She's like, unicorn just means you be the best you that you can be.
And I was like, okay, I can do that.
And they both were just nodding like, yes.
So she went and got a kind bar.
She's like, this kind bar is for you,
and this one is to give to somebody else.
I don't know if Bo or Hattie ever did that
because I left the next day,
and then they got these little trophies.
So they loved that.
That's awesome.
That's like their impression.
And they got little key chains
that had pickleballs on them.
But yeah, it was so much busier than I anticipated.
It's humming.
It was very, very cool.
Like much more elaborate.
Did you see the NBA player that was there?
Oh, Tyler Hansborough?
Tyler Hansborough.
I was like, that guy's pretty tall. And I was like, wait,
that's that's psycho tea.
Yeah. He walked by and I was like, that's Tyler
Hansborough because my best friend from college
Anderson. Yeah. He's from the same town
as Tyler Hansborough. So I was going to try and
like say what's up to him. Like, dude, I, you know,
the Gilberto family, you know, whatever. But
he, uh, dude, Dusty and I were
watching him because I was like, do you know who that is? That's Tyler Hansborough.
And we're like, all right, let's watch watch him play that doesn't really have it on the
pickleball court scott told me really yeah scott's like yes like what he's not very good he he looks
he's a he's a professional basketball player timing and was like very very good in college
like yeah like up for like naysmith player of the year probably six eight yeah really tall guy wow
missouri guy and was up at kid city playing pickleball. And yeah, my first words when I saw him play,
I mean,
Dustin,
I were both like,
Ooh,
I was like,
he looks like a,
like a newborn deer.
Okay.
Like a little bit of like,
not totally in control of his appendages,
which is crazy.
You could play in the NBA.
You could be that coordinated,
be that good.
And just not smooth at all in pickleball.
I don't know why that wouldn't translate.
And he wasn't that smooth in the NBA.
Like he was,
he was a hustler and like
a, he was a bruiser. A banger. Yeah.
Yeah. Um, so he was still
an NBA player. Yeah, still. I mean, the
top point. He still probably had to
switch on a screen and
you hear that?
That's Siri. I went away.
That's why I lost so bad
again. Uh, I mean, he still
had to switch on a screen and guard LeBron James every once in a
while.
Yeah.
You know?
So,
uh,
yeah,
but overall it was,
it was a really cool experience.
It was fun.
It was a good time.
I saw,
uh,
saw Lisa tap there.
I did too.
Um,
there were some Luke's mom,
uh,
competed in it.
Yep.
Trying to think what else?
Yeah.
Just a good amount of gene shorts fans there.
I feel like Friday pickleball fans. It was fun. Yeah. Trying to think what else? Yeah, just a good amount of Gene Schwartz fans there. I feel like Friday Pickleball
fans. It was fun. Yeah.
It was a good time.
One thing I want to talk about,
maybe we can wrap this up. The topic
is speech impediments.
Great. Two things. One,
did you see that we got a
comment somewhere. It was a sheltered kid video
and we got a comment where
someone was like oh man that's
that's too bad you're still having trouble with your r's yeah here are some things that help me
here's what you can do that's the guy's up that kills you isn't it this was more like uh this one
didn't kill me as much yeah but you're right that is the genre of things you're like oh you don't
get the joke like how can you follow a comedy channel i'm not yes but this is like that is so
like unaware and ignorant that that's hilarious.
Like that is so funny that they're like,
dang,
this guy,
like he's really made a name for himself with quite the speech impediment.
That's crazy.
That he doesn't have in every single shot.
It doesn't seem to be too consistent.
But that was great.
Cause we've done a good amount of shelter kid videos and I've never seen that
comment before.
Like no one's ever thought that was real before.
That was pretty funny.
Yeah.
The second thing under speech impediment is a DM I got.
Okay.
So I think last week we talked,
well,
yeah,
whatever.
Hey,
ghosty here.
I hope this isn't too invasive.
I'm curious if you,
uh,
might be helped by visiting a speech pathologist.
Okay.
So right there,
I was like,
ah,
dang.
But she goes, if talking for a living causes your voice to hurt uh or for you to lose your voice often it's possible you could be speaking
incorrectly ah i'm a voice teacher teach people how to sing without losing their voice a speech
path could help you speak without pain after extended use oh interesting all the stuff you
put out hope your voice recovers yeah yeah so yeah at first i was like dang i she thinks i can't speak at all
and i was like oh this is actually really nice this is helpful whatever um but so i sent it to
my sister and she's like hey who's the speech path who's the speech path and i was like guess
i need to hire you and i don't know if caitlin would love me saying all this but uh here's just
what she said she said oh wow she's like that was much nicer than what i thought was going to be at
first i was like yeah me too um she said they actually do have speech paths
specifically for that but i don't know all caps crap about voice our our one voice class was
during covid and i did not pay attention she then sends a follow-up text i actually had a
voice patient at the rehab facility i worked at and i was in the bathroom Googling what to do. So I don't know if she wants me
sharing that. You can hire Caitlin at CaitlinTriple.com. So yeah, I'm sure she's got the
other stuff covered. Maybe not the voice stuff. That is funny. Okay. But she, to me, I had my
doubts about the DM of like, I think if you use your voice stuff, you're just going to lose your
voice no matter what. But it sounds like Caitlin did not say that. So she knows more than we do.
Yeah. I guess there's a science to it. Cause yeah, I kind of thought too. I was like,
I think this is probably just like how much performing and podcasting I did. And then,
you know, three hours of chicken and pickle talking. Like, I think it's just,
that's anyone's voice would be a little sore. That's what it is, is the loud conversations
for two hours at a time. Yeah. what it is, is the loud conversations for two
hours at a time. Yeah. I think I, have you ever lost your voice from singing timing? Yeah. Or
at least like lost my voice and like where I can't sing, but I don't know if I've ever like
saying so much, not, I'm not singing hours every day. I don't know if anybody really is, but like
I've never sang so much. I'm like, I can't, I can't talk or sing anymore. Whereas like
recently, like Grande Boo and then this, this conference, I was't, I can't talk or sing anymore. Whereas like recently, like
Grande Boo and then this, this conference, I was just, there were so many people in the
room that I was having to have to talk loud, really talk loud. I was having to like stare
at people. Cause I have like hearing loss a little bit and like low murmurs and stuff.
So I was like staring at people. It's like, understand what they were saying. Like it
was loud. Um, so I think that's, but, but maybe not, maybe we can fix it. Hey, Rachel, think you're one who'd do me?
I'll look into it.
Yeah.
Appreciate you looking out for me.
Ghosts are the best.
I'll just get whatever you learn.
I don't want to pay for it.
I'll just get like a half dose of that.
That's whatever I do.
Yeah.
Cool.
One last thing I think I'll just mention.
Should I say it?
I would.
You guys got to come back Wednesday.
Let's be honest. Today's Labor Day anyway.
Come on. I don't know what I'm saying.
Come on.
Come on, Labor Days.
Cool. I'll say some stuff for Wednesday's episode.
Okay.
Do you want to do reviews of the week or would you like to talk about
something else that's on your heart or your mind or your chest?
I do have a heart about Good Ranchers.
Go on.
So I don't know if you know about American Meat Delivered, Jake.
I've heard of it.
I was hanging out with the Good Ranchers guys this week.
Yeah?
They're awesome.
They look like well nourished.
Honestly, their CEO, Ben, is freaking, he's like strong in like a not obvious like you are a roid rage kind of guy.
Wait, say that again?
Sorry.
Not roid rage, but like he is freaking built, but not like – he doesn't look like a bodybuilder, if that makes sense.
Okay.
He's lean.
I don't know if he's – I don't know.
I can't tell if it's like natural or what.
I think it's just grass fed, baby.
Just a lot of beef on him.
So yeah, he's not like, whoa, that guy looks uncomfortable when he walks.
He's just like, he's just a very, yeah, lean maybe is the right word.
But lean to me means skinny.
He's just built.
He's just a man.
And he runs Good Ranchers and Good Ranchers is awesome.
They're offering free ground beef for two years right now,
which is a $480 value.
Yes, they are.
So if you subscribe to any box,
subscribe, A, you already saved money from that.
B, you get a $480 value of free beef,
two pounds in every single box.
That's 500 buckaroos.
And the ground beef is nuts.
It is, dude.
Somebody asked on the Facebook group recently,
is Good Ranchers worth it?
And I was like, here's my honest opinion about the entire thing.
The only thing I said negatively was like, didn't love the snapper.
Which they don't even sell anymore.
Which they don't even sell anymore.
And Ben even said the same thing.
He's like, oh, the fish that we have now is so much better.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
He's pumped about it.
I feel like with the old Chiefs group text,
we were talking recently, hey, football's back this week. We want to watch it. I feel like with the old Chiefs group text, we were talking recently, hey, football's back
this week. We want to watch it.
Somebody suggested, what if we had a cookout
with some good ranchers? Absolutely. People want it.
It's cookout for football season.
Tailgate with good ranchers,
cookout with good ranchers, host a
party with good ranchers, or just make good ranchers
part of your everyday, weekly lifestyle.
Just order it, get some
chicken, and have your wife, Rachel, mix it up in some freaking
Mediterranean meal.
You don't really know what you're eating, but it's good.
Yeah.
Goodrangers.com is their website.
We do have a $25 off any box promo code GRKC if you couldn't guess.
And yeah, brand new subscription offer, free ground beef for two years.
It is, it is worth it.
Trust me.
So check it out.
I, I would be interested.
I haven't seen a single person ever say I did not enjoy my good rangers experience.
Every single person I've ever heard is like over the moon.
You got to get good ranchers.
I'm continuing with them because it's that good.
So, uh, check them out.
Good ranch.com promo code GRKC.
They're a great company.

trying to live life for Jesus and trying to run a business well.
So check them out, goodwrench.com, GRKC.
Cool.
My review of the week is a four-star review oh i saw that this four-star review starts off by
saying this podcast is the best thing to ever happen to me so interesting that you gave it
four stars jake and brad are the funniest guys and i love hearing brad stories about his kids
and jake's optimism has made me have a different outlook on life and has made me a way more
positive person.
Big fan of the pod and Monday and Wednesdays are by far the best days at work because I got a new episode.
And then I guess this is his name.
But it's the end.
It just ends with exclamation point.
It says Rindle Weaver.
Rindle Weaver!
I think that's your name.
So Rindle, hey, thanks for the review. You mind throwing us another star our way?
We'd appreciate it.
We have an average of five stars right now, Rendell,
and we are in dire desperate need.
He's just like, I may sometime find a podcast that's a little better.
So I can't quite give you the full thing.
Yeah, this is the best thing to happen to me so far.
So I don't want to start off with a 10 out of 10.
Tymon, think of three things that are positive statements. I'm going to come back to you after
I read my review, and we're going to respond Rendell Weaver to every single one of them.
Rendell Weaver is not his name. It's just a different language.
You bet.
Like, awesome, dude. Oh, Rendell Weaver. So I would love it if ghosties did their thing
with Rendell Weaver, and all of a sudden Rendell's
just yeah the talk of the town everyone we make shirts that just say Rendell Weaver exclamation
point Rendell Weaver um all right mine is from Caleb Klunt sexiest podcast ever five-star review
okay Jake and Brad are the best podcasters in Kansas City hear that JM they've really changed
my life and I feel like we were best friends, which is kind of weird.
They are so funny, genuine, kind, and really good Christians.
I appreciate Beed's wise insight and Jake's constant stream of humor and encouragements.
Thank you, Jake and Brad, if you're reading this,
for being my friends when I needed one the most.
Caleb Clute.
Thanks, Caleb.

That's great.
Oh, well, that just Rendles my weaver.
That's a great name.
I think that's a half-baked idea.
Having a bar that's called Rendle Weavers,
and you just share your wins of the week, like good things,
and people, instead of dilly-dilly, they say, Rendle Weaver.
Rendle Weaver.
Yeah.

own jingle version, version of like our parody, uh, our parody and record it and we can play it on the podcast.
I don't know how confident you are in your singing or not.
It could be hilarious.
