Starting point is 00:00:00 Happy New Year, Ghosties! Jake and Rachel here in the car, but we wanted to say happy Monday, happy 2024. We've been doing this the last few years where we take the best moments on the podcast from the previous year and compile them all together and make time and work really hard to make it all really awesome. So it's going to be a great episode. Brad and I are going to pop in from time to time and introduce each category. So I think it's only fitting we start off with the best intros, best opening segments from this past year. So enjoy it and share some laughs for the rest of us muchachos. beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too then west best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost me scott and isaac go up to this park to film some Friday Pickleball content.
Starting point is 00:01:08 It's a lot of fun. There's not light at the Pickleball courts, so as the sun starts to set, we got to head out. And so us three are walking from the park back out to the parking lot. Around that time, a woman pulls up in a van, and she says, Have you guys seen a yellow cat around here? And Isaac goes, man, I got too dark for pickleball. So we got to head out. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:01:37 I heard her very clearly. So I don't know. He thought that she said, what could she have said i i asked isaac like so like that happens and i like i want to bust up laughing but i'm like i should like respond to this woman whatever she's seeming distressed yeah and then we all get our cars and we decide we're going to meet up at chick-fil-a so i got chick-fil-a i was like isaac what was that like i was giggling in the car right over just thinking about isaac no it's like uh i just beat tave on a chest yeah right too loud yeah just like have you and she wasn't like fully done with
Starting point is 00:02:08 the sentence have you seen a yellow cat right it just got dark yeah and so i mean we don't have any night theme videos yet and so we just decided we're all hungry for chick-fil-a yeah it's a sony a73 in low light it's decent but it wouldn't do well in this. It would not do great. There are other pickleball courts that have lights, but they're way overpopulated. The thing is, it's just so loud at Meadowbrook. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:36 So we film here and we play at other places like what you're mentioning. Yes. Like the ones you're saying. So, okay, have a good night. Thanks for asking. I mean, you can play if you want, but I keep the lights on in your van to show on the court.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Also, there's a random little cat over there in the corner. Rachel's busy taking her Praxis test right now. Yeah, shout out to Rachel. Yeah, we can talk about her later, but I don't like that she's having to do that. In fact, I'm going to say no more standardized testing. No more standardized testing.
Starting point is 00:03:08 In the American education realm. Well, the American, I mean, the whole system is flawed, right? Okay, yes. We need to cut the tax, the funding in general. Like, why do we even have, honestly, who needs testing? Who needs the education at all? I'm going to say what a lot of people are scared to say. America needs to get rid of schools.

Think about, I mean, the 90 90s as far as baseball goes when was the last time you were glued to your tv watching mark mcguire you know potentially break the home run record the last time that i was watching mark mcguire do think about the last time you did that i mean i don't know 2099 something like that i watched sammy sosa every single day after after school on wgn just as yes you know they the cubs had. It was like, is Sammy going to hit one out today?
Starting point is 00:08:25 Is he going to hit one into the street? And he hit one into the street like every other day, and he was having cork bats and steroids, and it was awesome. It was awesome. It brings so much money to the sport from an entertainment value. It puts butts in seats. Bs and Ss. And also, it just levels the playing field.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Yes, I think so too. And I mean, the pitchers, that's the thing. Everyone can take them. It's not just exclusive to hit to hitters the coaches can take them oh the coaches were definitely taking them in the 90s i want you you know sending the steel sign like crazy right bob brindley for the arizona diamondbacks he was he was roiding up for sure i want uh bat boys ball girls hot dog vendors everybody's on drugs you imagine like it's a foul ball the bat or the you know the guy on the side the bad boy gets the ball and he throws in the stands usually he's going
Starting point is 00:09:09 five ten rows deep he's throwing upper deck in it dude yes how fun would how amazing would that be you could all of a sudden you got this ball boy he's 17 years old he can bench 385 and he's just chucking him into the upper deck. Like it's nothing. Like the announcers, who are also on drugs, are saying, oh, that's a foul ball down the first baseline. It looks like the ball boy got a hold of it. And one lucky fan's got to go home. Oh my gosh, he threw it in the upper deck!
Starting point is 00:09:36 Oh, it's in somebody's cotton candy! Grandma got it! In row 324! Oh, it hit his nachos! That would be awesome. I think of going to a sporting event and knowing everybody's on steroids. Everyone's doing them.
Starting point is 00:09:51 That's the thing. And that'll be the mantra. It's like, hey, everyone's doing it. It's going to be like how we look back in history. Like, man, remember before we cared about gut health? Remember before we really knew about gluten? Remember before everyone was on steroids? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:05 We were so silly. And everyone's going to be so happy, too. It's called roid. Roid joy. Roid joy. Yeah. Steroids. Dude, you got like a glow about you.
Starting point is 00:10:14 What's going on? I tell you what. It's roid joy, baby. Oh, really? I just woke up today, took my vitamins, took my roids, and I'm good to go. Drove here 85 miles an hour like it was nothing. I got the joy of the ro Roy deep down in your heart. I got the joy, joy, joy of the Roy down in my heart.

Starting point is 00:10:43 Think about it. Think about how quickly the defensive linemen are going to be going through the line. I mean, just kicking alone. How high? How far can the punts go? An onside kick? It no longer dribbles off the ground.
Starting point is 00:10:54 You square it up off of a guy's face mask. Oh my gosh. Going about 300 miles an hour. That's the new onside kick. The pigskin is literally going through the plastic of the face mask. I mean, finally, WNBA players are able to dunk. Yes, which is what? Which is what we're trying to do the whole time.
Starting point is 00:11:10 That's called equality. Right? Most equal podcast. Yes, in Kansas. We did it. We look so ridiculous. Throw them in. What's up, friends?
Starting point is 00:11:25 Ghosties. Happy New Year 2024. What's it going to be like? What are we going to fly in cars and top load washers? Hey, I'm supposed to introduce the next segment, which is funniest moments. Hopefully funnier than that. Banter about 2024, hopefully funnier than Rosie screaming in the background while she is refusing to eat her dinner. Yeah, I hope you guys are doing well. We are just on the tail end of exhaustion here
Starting point is 00:12:01 in the best way possible, but just going nonstop, it feels like. So hopefully this episode finds you well. Hopefully you've enjoyed some funny moments and if not, enjoy them now. Yeah. Thanks for being our supporters. Funniest moments, 2023, 2024. What are your predictions for it? You know, my review of the week is a four-star review. Uh-oh. I saw that. This four-star review starts off by saying, this podcast is the best thing to ever happen to me.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Interesting that you gave it four stars. Jake and Brad are the funniest guys and I love hearing Brad's stories about his kids and Jake's optimism. It 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
Starting point is 00:12:49 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 Rendell Weaver. Rendell Weaver! I think that's your name. So Rendell, hey, thanks for the review. You mind throwing us another star our way?
Starting point is 00:13:06 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 it 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
Starting point is 00:13:26 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 a different language. Awesome, dude! Rendell Weaver!
Starting point is 00:13:42 I would love it if Ghosties did their thing with Rendell Weaver, and all of a 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. Rendell Weaver. All right. Mine is from Caleb Klunt.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Sexiest podcast ever. Five-star review. Okay, Caleb. Jake and Brad are the best podcasters in Kansas City. Hear that, JM? They've really changed my life, and I feel like we are best friends, which is kind of weird. They are so funny, genuine, kind, and really good Christians. I appreciate Beads.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I appreciate Beads' 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. Pretty name. Yeah, Bede and Jake. Just mean Bede.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Every Monday morning with Jake and Bede. Alright, Tymon, you got some statements for me? Yeah. It's just like, hey, Brad, you're looking great today. Hey! Randall Weaver! Jake, I love your haircut. Looks nice. Well, Randall Weaver.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Good job making Grande Boo a huge success. Well, golly, Tymon. Rendell Weaver. Well, Rendell my Weaver. You ain't half bad. That just Rendell's my Weaver. I don't know why that is so funny. That's great. Oh, that just Rendles my weaver. I don't know why that makes so much sense. That's great.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Oh, well, that just Rendles my weaver. That's a great name. Oh, 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Rendle Weaver. Yeah. Weaver Weaver. Rendell Weaver. Yeah. Weaver Weaver. Weaver Weaver. Rendell my Weaver. Awesome. All right, last one of the first round bracket. Cover your eye, please.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Thanks. This is a good one, too. Let's go Bobcat or Skunk. Oh, my. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm going to say bobcat, dude. For some reason, like, animals that are actually aggressive, that I could get up for. Give me my shotgun, and I'll take that bobcat out. I think that's why mice are scary for some reason.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It's because I can't, like, obviously I could physically overtake them. They're so small, though. But they're a little scared of you, and so you never know what they're going to do on accident. Yeah. Like, get out of here. Oh, crap, I'm on him. I'm on him.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Just crawl up the other side. He's in my pillowcase. It's like, no, just get away from me completely. I don't hate that logic. I know. Bobcat, like, you know you're in a fight with a bobcat. Yes, dude. I'm already getting him.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I'm feeling protective against a bobcat. Would you, like, if you had to, like, take on things that are, like, bobcat size, kang bobcat size kangaroos kangaroos a little bigger but still something like that do you like punch it like do you jab and like like hook like throw a big right hook not on a b cat dude you you get a choke hold oh you're talking just like what do you hand to hand combat yeah what are your how do you strike them open Open-handed? Chris Rock? Oh, man. I'm getting aggressive just thinking about this. I think I'm a big guy.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I got to use momentum. Just sit on it. Mother goose him. I would figure out a way to get him down, and while he's down, just jump on him as hard as I could with all my body. Pile drive him. I get him on down, I'm just like Boom! Boom!
Starting point is 00:17:10 Something like that. And then I just make sure he's not breathing. Breathing. Alright. That had to hurt a little bit. Yeah, for the bobcat. Imagine how the bobcat feels. And after I am done, like, just laying this log, I just realized, oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:17:33 This is the toilet that doesn't work. And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. So I'm like. How long have you been dating at this point? A couple months. I did not even. I didn't even use toilet paper yet, right? I stand up, and I look at this thing, and it is staring right back at me. It's a burrito-sized thing, and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And so I'm like, all right, there's a bathroom across the hall. Maybe I can transfer it to a working toilet. Suez Canal. So I'm thinking, okay, nobody's upstairs. Maybe I can do it. So I decide, you know, with my pants down, I reach into the toilet. With what? With your hand? In this time?
Starting point is 00:18:28 And so yeah The toilet paper is going to just melt It's not going to do anything Still? No paper towels, nothing And I'm thinking to myself At this time Burger King has this Whopper advertisement where they're like
Starting point is 00:18:42 You have to hold it with two hands But this thing I had to take both hands Burger King has this like Whopper advertisement where they're like, you have to hold it with two hands. But this thing, I had to take both hands. I could not single fist this thing. I had to take two hands. And I had to just gently with my pants around my ankles, I look out in the hallway.
Starting point is 00:19:00 This thing is like, I feel the water dripping a little bit already under the floor. I look, I just inch my way into the other bathroom. I drop it into the other toilet flush. Then the toilet caught. No! And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. And so I then all of a sudden, like, from that point on, I'm like, I can't flush this thing down.
Starting point is 00:19:29 So I instead, I finish up my business with some toilet paper on that toilet. Yeah. Then I start washing my hands. I washed my hands three times. I could not get the smell off. I just, I could not do it. And I'm like, I just got to this girlfriend I'm really crazy about's house, and I'm already doing this.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Oh my God. I can't believe this. So I, so I wash my hands like three times. Everything else is going okay now, except the toilet's clogged with a bunch of toilet paper. And the other toilet, I haven't even... Anyway, so I get everything cleaned up. And then Courtney, she's like, Ben, my dad's down here.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Come meet him. Like, what is wrong with you? I'm like, Courtney, I need to shower. Just a minute! Just everything. And she's like, what are you talking about? You've known about this. I'm like, Courtney, I need this shower.
Starting point is 00:20:28 So I take a shower, get all cleaned up. The turd is still in the toilet. I can't do anything. And then I go downstairs and shake her dad's hand. And I'm like, you have no idea what I just went through. I didn't say that, of course. That's what I was thinking. It's a firm grip you have there, son.
Starting point is 00:20:45 His hand just held. No way. But anyway, yeah. And then afterwards, then I had to get the plunger and try to discreetly go back upstairs to unclog the toilet. Yeah, job's not done. It was so embarrassing. And did you? You were able to?
Starting point is 00:21:07 I finally got it all resolved i think i had to break it up or something but it was just like come on man and thankfully i i didn't even tell my then girlfriend this story at the time it was like when we were leaving back to college when i even told her because i was so embarrassed but i mean and then eventually i told her and then she eventually she told her mom like a couple months later and her mom thought it was hilarious. But yeah, thankfully nothing got too crazy. And then she, I think she turned around and said something along the lines of like, oh, this probably wasn't that badly out of function or something like that. I wasn't going to take any chances, you know?
Starting point is 00:21:42 No way. Okay. Well, okay. So tell me about this. tell me about this expedition from one bathroom to the other. How close are these bathrooms? Yeah, so the entrance from one to the other was about seven to eight feet on the same floor. Oh, that's not too bad at all. And there was carpet. No, it's not too bad. That's not too bad at all. And there was carpet. No, it's not too bad. That's not great. But it's all the second floor.
Starting point is 00:22:07 But if Courtney walked upstairs while I'm also butt naked holding a turd, I mean. Yeah, what made you not put your pants on? There's no like, well, I have a piece of poop in my hands. What am I supposed to do? I couldn't wipe. Yeah. Oh, sure. Because the toilet wasn't working. I'd still put them on. I didn't want to leave all I couldn't wipe. Yeah, I couldn't wipe because the toilet wasn't working.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I'd still put them on. I didn't want to leave all that toilet paper there. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. And then, yeah. And then, surely you didn't get, like, a clean grasp on that thing from the first toilet. The first time. There were still some remnants in there.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Is that fair? Yeah. I, you know, honestly, I think it was so well compacted i didn't even i think it was good honestly without a trace yeah that's amazing good for you yeah oh man wow i appreciate that that is yeah it was i told some friends that yeah if you can get it also like if you tell it in person you can get real animated with the grass i mean the fact that you needed two hands is wild yeah yeah i don't know if we have any like animators listening to the podcast but that story deserves its own like cartoon animation for like what you had to go through and like
Starting point is 00:23:20 leaving brad and i's reactions to like everything we heard there that like deserves its own like cartoon that is amazing man well i well i'm i'm glad y'all could benefit from that and you know too just with the whole lightheartedness of it hopefully that helps make someone else's day too i uh but yeah i had no idea i'd be telling that story to anyone in public i i thought that was going to be my back pocket story, but, uh, hopefully that's, yeah. I mean, I totally understand. I mean, meeting the in-laws is one of the more nerve wracking things. I mean, it doesn't sound like, I guess this was your second time meeting that, but still like being at their house, like this, all those dynamics are hilarious. Like that, that story is funny no matter when, like if that happened to you tomorrow at your in-laws,
Starting point is 00:24:03 that's funny. But the fact that it happened the first time you were at their house i mean and the fact that you like like i understand like when you gotta go you gotta go but like so often i'd be like i can't i can't do this right now right like like my girlfriend's gonna know i just pooped like i don't know like the fact that you had to go that bad and then that happened and then and then she's like i need you to come down here and you're like not now sweetie yeah so so awesome yeah wow oh man yeah it really is so great i could see why courtney signed you up because that is a phenomenal story shout out courtney yeah shout out to her she's she's awesome thank you, man.

Oh, my gosh. So, the taste...
Starting point is 00:26:25 I don't even need a taste test. This is a Coke versus Pepsi taste test. Brad said he could get it accurately 100 times out of 100 and would be willing to bet $1,000 on it. Yeah. And so, that's week one of finals week. I told Rachel earlier, I said, I will pay for your wedding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:41 But if not, Rachel has to pay for Hattie's wedding. Yes. God willing. So, these could both be Coke Hattie's wedding. Yes. God willing. So, these could both be Coke. One could be Coke. One could be Pepsi. Both Pepsi. Of course I'm nervous. You nervous? You don't have anything right. My reputation is... I'm excited. I've always wanted to do this. Okay.

Starting point is 00:27:18 That tastes so similar. Alright, let me freaking focus. I don't like Rachel smiling at me like that. She's giggling over there. Like, does that mean I'm right or does that mean I'm wrong? Okay. Crap. Mine's Coke. I take it back. Whoa! Whoa, wait, wait, wait. A million percent.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Guys, a million percent is not even a real thing. Percentages per 100. This is what I was saying. There's no way you can get 100 times out of 100. This is so difficult. I want to try yours now. the execs of Pepsi get this wrong. I saw the documentary Let's go no, I feel good mine's Pepsi lock it in lock it in Do I want the answer now she says?
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yes, yeah Yes Yeah, yeah. Yay, green cup, Pepsi. Yes! Blue cup, Pepsi. No! No way! Oh! Oh, it only took one. It only took one. Oh, my gosh. You knew it right away. I knew it!

Starting point is 00:28:34 Whatever. I want to compare them. I want to compare them. That's what I'm sure my statement was I would get to compare them. Oh, you hear that, Steve Koop? We just got a free wedding. It's not bad. Dang it!
Starting point is 00:28:50 But it's time to go to the steam room. Yeah, it's only two heats. You got to go for the third. Got to go for three heats. I don't know what a steam room is. The way they're describing it, I'm imagining like a greenhouse kind of thing, which I guess is kind of accurate. Tell me more about your greenhouse idea. Like I was just imagining a lot of just like, uh, you know, condensation and, you know, humidity in the air. And then I think
Starting point is 00:29:12 Will, or you said that like, yeah, there's like eucalyptus in the air and it's like, oh yeah. Botafied greenhouse vibes. Yeah. Yeah. Cause they were like, it's not as hot as the sauna. I was like, oh yeah. Great. Yeah great yeah yeah tell me what i'll i like to hear your thoughts on this but will was like oh dude the steam room is going to be way more of a shock to jake than the sauna and i was like i disagree i think the steam room's easier uh who was right the steam room was hell on earth the steam room is the worst place I've ever been. It's the worst I've ever felt. Like without being in any actual pain.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Oh my gosh. It's the worst I've ever felt on earth. It was so bad. I mean, it was so hot. It was so impossible to breathe. It was like I was getting strangled by the devil himself. And when you combine those two things. Does that motivate you?
Starting point is 00:30:09 Does that motivate you to tell others about the Lord? Oh, about, yeah. Turn or burn? Like, yeah. Honestly, yeah. More evangelisms should take place in a steamer. You think this is bad, brother? You think this is hot?
Starting point is 00:30:20 Yeah. What if I said the gnashing of teeth? What if we threw that in? Dude, it was unbelievable. I mean, just like instantly. You can't breathe out of your mouth. What if I said the gnashing of teeth? What if we threw that in? Dude, it was unbelievable. I mean, just like instantly. You can't breathe out of your mouth. It's impossible.
Starting point is 00:30:32 It feels like someone has a wet rag up to your mouth. And it is eucalyptus. I will say that. But you just can't breathe out of your mouth. It's awful. And everyone just... Will's naked, first of all. That was unnecessary. That was part of the devil.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then also, just everyone's like, Jake, how's marriage been right now? You did, you said like, I can't think about anything else right now. And we'll, you know, being very considerate, it's like, all right, Hey Jake, you're the leader here. We leave when you say leave and you go, I'm not, I'm not going to be the one to leave first no i'm not gonna do it i'm not gonna do it i played high school sports yeah so i still have some mental toughness absolutely um so yeah we're in there for about like four or five minutes at this point and it i mean it is seriously this like i've never felt just like um it felt dangerous
Starting point is 00:31:19 like how quickly i was just sweating from everywhere i could feel it running down my leg hair i'm dripping off of my nose. My eyes can't fully open. I'm just doing like this. Like, what are we doing? I don't think that's all sweat to make you feel better. Oh, really? Because it's steam.
Starting point is 00:31:35 So it's like... Oh, I guess it's getting on your skin and then falling off of it. Yeah, or it's like dripping from like... That's another thing. We get about five minutes in, and all this steam starts to get on the ceiling. Hot. Yeah. And then it starts to get on the ceiling, hot, and then it starts to drip and fall on your back.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Just, ah, gosh, what is that? You're like sizzling bacon back there. Just sizzling on my back. Yeah, we do about five minutes worth, and then, dude, and then, it just starts going, and I'm like, what is that, what is that? And that will goes that was phase one brother i was like what and there's just so much steam is being pumped in this room i mean
Starting point is 00:32:13 three tons of steam that was already in there it's being tossed in this room i mean yeah it eventually becomes like you can't see anybody i couldn't see the guy five feet from me right the guy in the corner yeah he's, that was just phase one, brother. Yeah, Will's like spread eagle. Yeah, it's just phase one. Okay, so it's the Mount Rushmore of smells. They can be any smell, good
Starting point is 00:32:36 or bad, but I would probably go with good because it's the Mount Rushmore. So Tymon, this is your first schmores. There's some, okay, the thing is, there's some that I can think of that are I think just top tier from my experience and some that would be more relatable for a wider scope of people.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Some people would call that a pandering pick and you'd get in trouble for that. Jake does not like it. I am going to go with horses. I don't know. The horse didn't see that one coming. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:33:09 It's, it's, I feel like, okay, someone's, someone's going to really get me. Horses, Tymon. I thought we were going to make fun of Scott on this thing. Oh, Tymon. No, go ahead. Talk, talk. First pick. Manure.
Starting point is 00:33:24 No, talk, talk through it with us, Tymon. I think, I think you I think you can get us around on this one. I feel like, well, I don't know if I can explain myself out of this one because you have to experience it to know what it's like. Horses, they just have this smell. It's just like, it's a really good smell. Are you talking specifically about horses themselves or like the stable? No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:33:43 The animal out in the pasture by themselves without the influence of the gross smells of the barn. Oh, interesting. Okay. Rachel is nodding along like she knows. Rachel's so sweet. No, no, no. Rachel has no idea what a horse smells like.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Yes, I do. What? Tell us your credibility, please. I will. Okay. The Iowa State Fair, walking through the stables, which you said is not what you're talking about, but that is a nostalgic smell. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I don't love it. I wouldn't want to smell like it myself. I wouldn't pick it with the very first pick of the draft. But it would make me feel comfortable smelling that. It would remind me of my childhood at the Iowa State Fair. You know what? I bet Anna Buffini right now is fired up and she's smiling. That's one vote for me.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Yeah, you made an Olympia happy. One single vote. Tymon's going for quality of vote. So Tymon, was that the pandering pick or was that the pick? Almost the one that everyone's going to appreciate. I will say that was literally the first one I thought of. I think it's great. Yeah, and just follow your heart, right?
Starting point is 00:34:35 I think we got those hay bales and the horse blanket and saddle for Bo's party and the horse blanket definitely smelled like I would imagine a horse smells and it smelled like a cowboy. It's nice. Musky manly smell.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You're like, I mean, it smelled awful, but I don't know if I would want to like, you know, infiltrate my house with this smell, but it had like a smell to it. But I didn't hate it. I wouldn't say it's, it's not like a house freshening smell. It's a horse smell, but it's a really good smell. It's a great smell. Okay. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:35:04 All right. Horses take that one off your list if you had it. Yeah, we'd have to beat that. Oh, I took mine. Everyone is being really nice, but no one is being helpful at all. And so, but the barista was like, well, since I helped you out, you got to get some coffee? And I was like, well, now I feel like I have to. And so I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And she's like, well, I recommend the cinnamon swirl. And I was like, okay, let's do it. Got a cinnamon swirl. She's like, you know, then of course she's like, yeah. And she's like, well, I recommend the cinnamon swirl. And I was like, okay, let's do it. Got a cinnamon swirl. She's like, you know, then of course she's like, what do you think? And so I'm like, oh, I gotta drink this in front of her now. And dude, 15 minutes later, I had to leave that place. I had the worst diarrhea I have had in 20 years. It wasn't swirl and it was just cinnamon gush.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Oh no. Yeah, dude. years probably swirl and it was just cinnamon gosh oh no yeah dude so i there maybe there's like traces of meat in their cinnamon in the north northwest i don't know holy cow i don't know so it was it was brutal it's like i gotta get thank you guys i gotta go show soon anybody can can anybody drive me back well i can't i'll tell you that right now. So I go back. No problem. But also just a little bit like, whoa, holy cow. Cinnamon swirl.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I think that needs to be a new like code name. For like, I got the cinnamon swirls. Dude, yeah. Actually, I can't come to bowling tonight after all. I got the cinnamon swirls. I got some cinnamon swirling in me. Yeah. Just a salad tonight. Got the cinnamon swirls. I got some cinnamon swirling in me. Yeah. Just a salad tonight. We had cinnamon swirls last night.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Still kind of recovering. The only thing that would ruin the wedding night would be if either one of us gets the cinnamon swirls. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness. That's what I had. Yeah. Oh, goodness. That's what I had. Yeah. Oh no. So to add to like the ambience.
Starting point is 00:36:50 So it's like, I'm, I'm getting rid of all this in like a kind of a, just a dingy, uh, like dressing room bathroom. Yeah. Those things are never going to be like clean. Yeah. It's like the type bathrooms where like when you do drop your shorts, it's like my shorts are getting dirty. It's like, ah, I'm going to hang them up on the thing honestly i need to spread my
Starting point is 00:37:07 legs a little bit anyway let's take the shorts all the way off and so i was like yeah this is kind of gross yeah and i put on a ton of sunscreen earlier that day for golf and you haven't showered yet so that's the thing okay so you know because i was like i can't get sunburned for the show so i can't get sunburned for the wedding sure Sure. Caked in sunscreen. I'm sitting him and swirling. I'm like, man, I cannot wait. And yeah, I think I might have kicked off the shorts towards the end of it. Like, I'm going straight to the shower. I cannot wait.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Oh, because often you have them in the room. Yeah, there was a shower in the dressing room. And this is your own room? Yeah, yeah. Isaac kind of shares it with me. Well, but. At this point, he's out slinging. He's seen your swirls. It's like, probably like 6.15.
Starting point is 00:37:43 So it's like, I need to wrap this up. Shower shows at seven. Oh my gosh. So I would be freaking out. That is so little time to me. Like I would, I, you could have said shows at eight and I would've been like, dude, I'd be a little nervous right now. I remember one time last tour where I was like, all right, Jake, you're getting a little too comfortable. I was in the shower at like 645. Like I think kind of getting out of it at that point, but still like I'm getting a little too comfortable. I mean, how many shows you've done? 85 shows. Yeah. I'd probably done. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe, maybe you're right. Maybe eventually you're like, okay, I can do this. But I, as in my shoes, I'd be like 45 minutes and you're struggling with some cinnamon swirls right now.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I, I don't know about this dude. Yeah. It was like, all right, I think we can knock this out. Like, I'm starting to get a little nervous, too. Like, this is a lot to ask, but I need it. Because what if you shower and you feel like, yeah. The swirl was a boomerang. Uh-huh. So I'm like, but I do get done. I feel like depleted, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:40 like whether you're throwing up or anything like that. It's like, I think I got it. Like, I feel good enough now. Like, I got it. We're done. is this when you did the cinnamon twirl on stage uh yes same night i think actually yeah it was because i made that instagram story while i was sitting in that coffee shop yeah um yeah well it was the same night so i i'm fully naked i just got done swirling sticky sweaty sunscreeny gross, sunscreeny, gross. Go to pop in the shower, and it doesn't work. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:39:09 There's no water. No, no, no, no, no, no. No water. No, no, no, no, no. And so I just sucked it up, and I put some new clothes on, and I performed that show so gross. I felt disgusting. Oh.
Starting point is 00:39:22 And it was the best show of the tour. Yeah. And everyone at the meet and greet has no idea. Until now. Somebody said I smelled good and I was like, yeah, sunscreen from earlier. Banana boat does wonders. Yeah. No way. You need to mask the swirl. Oh, that's so
Starting point is 00:39:36 funny. Like thinking about the people that had great interactions with you in Spokane and now it's going to be like, ew, dude. Yeah, now they have cinnamon swirl colored glasses on. They're like, oh, man. That's funny, too. Wow, ew, dude. Yeah, now they have cinnamon swirl colored glasses on. They're like, oh man. That's funny too. Wow, you smell good. Is this that Diva detergent?
Starting point is 00:39:51 You know, or like, no, it smells like cinnamon. Oh God. Oh gosh. That's not good. Cinnamon swirl. And I get on this bus and I look at the screen
Starting point is 00:40:03 before I left. It said, flight 696 to Lancaster one hour and 40 minutes. I was like one hour 40. That seems like a very long flight for something so short. Oh no. And so I'm boarding this bus, dude. I'm boarding this bus and there's two other people on this bus. It's me and two other people. I'm like, I don't think we're flying to Lancaster, dude. I think we're taking this freaking bus. I think we are on a bus to Lancaster.
Starting point is 00:40:31 And I'm like, I'm waiting there. Still not positive. I was like, maybe they're going to take us down the runway to this tiny plane or something. I was like, there's no one else on this thing. And so I'm like, well, I looked just look, I looked at my, uh, confirmation email. It didn't say anything about a bus. It still felt like an airplane. It said, so, so this one is American airlines operated by American Eagle. And of course, Scott was like, Oh, I like Hollister. I was like, good one, Scott. Um, and so operated by American Eagle.
Starting point is 00:41:04 And so I'm like, okay, well it says flight, nothing's on here. So I think maybe we're still flying, but an hour, 40 minutes, I Google mapped how long it takes to get to Lancaster hour, 46 minutes look pretty on the dot. And so I Google American airlines flight six 96 or whatever it was. And it said boarding in in Philadelphia, gate 18AB, drop off in Lancaster, gate CURB. I'm like, that smells curb. This thing is driving me to Lancaster, dude. So I took a flight, a flight that was not a flight. It was a freaking bus.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I can't believe that can happen in America. I don't. And no one else, everyone else seemed to just know or just be fine with it. The other two people on the bus. I can't believe that can happen in America. I don't. And no one else, everyone else seemed to just know or just be fine with it. The other two people on the bus. I mean, there was three people in the, in the driver. And I mean, we get going and we're literally like driving on the runway. We're just leaving the airport on the tarmac of planes going 500 miles. Good job guys. See ya. What was that? Safe travels. Was that the other buses?
Starting point is 00:42:06 No, Brad, that was an airplane. And so I get, I get to Lane. Cause so first of all, like, I'm like, TJ, we're running like 15 minutes late. And he's like, in his head, he said later, it's like, how did he know he was running 15? Yeah. Hey, when we hit some traffic, it's six minutes, like six minutes to go. I was like, we're on approach. Cause I didn't minutes, like six minutes to go. I was like,
Starting point is 00:42:25 we're on approach. Cause I didn't want to like tell him. Yeah. Cause I didn't know, maybe it was like a normal thing for people in that area. And he said, TJ was like, well, I, first of all, I've never picked somebody up from the Lancaster airport before. So I was surprised that you could get a flight. And then I get there. He doesn't see me come out. He just sees me come to his car. He's just chilling at gate CURB. He's like one of 16 cars in this, in this parking lot. And, uh, he's like, how was your flight? I was likeURB. He's like one of 16 cars in this parking lot. And he's like, how was your flight? I was like, good.
Starting point is 00:42:49 He was like, you see that bus right there? That was it. And he didn't stop laughing for five minutes. He couldn't believe it. Proboscis. Long-nosed. Long-nosed monkey, long-nosed seal, elephant seal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:02 My honorable mention is sloths. Girls love thinking sloths are so cute i was on mine that was my the first pick i wrote down that came straight yeah it's like one of the only things i wrote on my list was sloth look at the sloth look up a wet sloth dude look up a wet sloth okay google wet sloth it's oh so bad it looks like an old tree like old tree bark yeah i'm really sorry i don't like animals very much, dude. I think it's dogs or nothing for me. Wet sloths is wild.
Starting point is 00:43:30 That's not a cute, that's not objectively cute. God don't make no junk, but that is a bummer. That looks like, you know, when it's like, here's footage from the deciduous forest where it's just, everything's been burned. It looks like that thing was just like set in place. It just got burned. Yeah, it looks like an atomic bomb got dropped on it. It looks like that thing was just set in place. It just got burned. Yeah, it looks like an atomic bomb got dropped on it.
Starting point is 00:43:47 It's frozen in time. Yes. It's just like this is its ashes. Yes, this sloth was in Chernobyl. I couldn't notice. Yikes, dude. From at Zilla Zip on YouTube, it just says,
Starting point is 00:44:00 half-baked business name, Cold Stone Crematorium. Man, that's good. That's just funny. That's good. Just thinking about the name of that. Hello. Little Zeev.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Little Zeev Town. Yeah, just like, you know, Cold Stone, like their whole thing is like they make it in front of you and they sing like when you tip them and stuff. Yeah, if you tip them, they'll sing. Can you imagine? And are we doing cookie dough today? We chopping this up?
Starting point is 00:44:30 Like it, love it, or gotta have it? What do you want? Isn't that their sizes? Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. Hey, boys. This is Jack from Quebec.
Starting point is 00:44:46 All this talk about scary animals had me thinking of my first pet experience when I was 13. I bought a corn snake. And fast forward, eight months later, I walk over to its cage, look inside, and it's gone. My mom, who wasn't uh for my purchase of a snake wasn't all that happy about it was a bit of a tumultuous time in our house you know two months go by and you uh think you know that snake's gone or dead no we find the snake six months later bigger than it was before went from four to five feet. We found it underneath our fridge. No, no, no, no!
Starting point is 00:45:27 Horn snakes are escape artists. Anyway, we lost them like four times. Shoot it! Get it out of there! It's been a really bright spot in my life. God bless. Shoot it! I'd put a hole in my kitchen floor.
Starting point is 00:45:43 I'd shoot it right there. I'd turn into Clint Eastwood pretty quick. Dude, I've had the thought recently. I was like, I don't have a gun. I wouldn't mind getting a gun just to shoot animals. Just an animal gun. You go into a gun store. I'll take your best animal gun.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yep. I know you guys got guns to shoot vegetables with those pea shooters or whatever. I'll take the animal shooter. I don't. Ugh. Snakes are. I get so mad thinking about animals, i don't like it yeah we lost like four more times yeah stupid stupid animal dude no way non-venomous though does that change your mind
Starting point is 00:46:18 doesn't change mine that changes zero percent of, I hate it. You ever had snake time? I haven't. I know my dad had like a, some kind of, maybe, I think it might have been like some kind, was it a python? Some kind of like, Jeez. Yeah, and it was like huge.
Starting point is 00:46:34 And he, I think he told me one time he like wore it as around his waist, like a belt into a restaurant one time. Just like, Whoa, your dad's a weirdo. That's crazy. It's crazy. It's's so the funny thing is it's like that is so not the dad that i know yeah yeah yeah like like he was a different person before he's dead yeah absolutely yeah it's so funny
Starting point is 00:46:56 holy cow just imagine yeah okay uh smoking or my gosh! You know, back in the day. Holy cow. I'm just thinking, why do they make a snake enclosure that is at all possible for a snake to escape from? Can I stop you at why do they make a snake? Just period. Why do they have snakes? Yeah, like how does that thing get out? Yeah, how badly made does this enclosure have to be? It's made to keep a snake in. How strong is that snake pushing up does that thing get out? Yeah. How badly made does this enclosure have to be? It's made to keep a snake in.
Starting point is 00:47:26 How strong is that snake like pushing up on that thing? And how much more could it freaking kill you? Half-baked business idea. We market it as like guaranteed to keep your snake in or whatever. Basically what it is. Huh? Sorry. This is a snake enclosure that's slowly going to kill your snake.
Starting point is 00:47:45 And you get this for someone who you don't want them to have a snake. So it's like, hey, my son is obsessed. He wants a snake. Yeah, yeah. It sounds like, yeah, the mom would have loved this. Yeah, yeah. Slowly releasing poisonous gases. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Whatever way you want to take them down. But yeah, it does kill the snake. And problem solved. Want me to go through them? Yeah, actually. Okay. Anna, April 2nd. Going yours too? Good month. down but yeah it does kill the snake and uh problem solved let me go through them yeah actually okay anna april 2nd going years do good month no you know years i bet i can no don't do that it's gonna take too long it's not gonna be good podcasting content this is gonna be good though anna april 2nd me may 15th jesse october 18th alice, March 18th. I've met all those so far.
Starting point is 00:48:25 That's kind of fun. May 20... This is when I get confused. Mylon, if you're listening... This Christmas is the 25th, right? It's Christmas on the 25th. It's the fourth Sunday of every year. I only get this confused.
Starting point is 00:48:40 It's the fourth Sunday, so sometimes it's the 25th, but it's not always. Yeah, not always. Do you believe that? It's like the most, so sometimes it's the 25th, but it's not always. Yeah, not always. Okay, well, Milan, May 25th. Do you believe that? Time it! I don't know. It's like the most popular day of the year. I genuinely, this is the thing. Okay, well, I'm trying to figure out Milan right now.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Okay, whatever. I was genuinely just thinking about, but also, I genuinely do get it confused because Milan is the 26th, and sometimes I think I know 26 is important. Oh, okay. That's a big day. Because... So, yeah. So, you're confused on...
Starting point is 00:49:09 Something happens on the 26th. Boxing day, Canada. Mylon, May 26th. Jonas, May 19th. May 26th? Hold on. Which month is Mylon born in? May.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I was... December. It's just simply the number. 25th or 26th. Okay. You just know 25 is important. 26 is important. Yes. Gotcha. Gotcha. Interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:27 We never like celebrate Christmas always on the exact day. Sure. I can see why that's confusing. Anyway, so you could still like do kind of a simulator thing where we were sitting in the living room taking turns, putting on the goggles and flying and everyone else can see like the iPad and see what everyone's
Starting point is 00:49:44 doing. It was my turn. I've never done anything like this before but pretty good at video games i've flown a drone before sure pick it up pretty quickly i'm going in tunnels and everything and next thing you know all the the finnish people all the tacoma people are calling me maverick it was awesome like this guy is like maverick top gun maverick works for tacoma i love it dude any nickname from someone like that just means more. Because you're always wondering, like, what are their stereotypes of America? American people? One of them is definitely Top Gun.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Top Gun, yeah. This guy's Maverick in LeBron James. How do you think you would sing the Top Gun theme song, but in a Finnish accent, Brad? Jonas, Jonas, Jonas, Jonas. We got to send this episode to Jonas. That's hilarious. This guy funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:29 The big man looks like he has lots of Chick-fil-A in 30 seconds. Yeah. So that was fun. Just a quick little thing. Just, yeah, for five minutes, my nickname was Maverick with the Finnish people. That was awesome. Oh, Maverick should not be golfing. He should be in the skies.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Would you like to work for Finnish military? Yes. You're like Sully of the pilots. It was so funny. Last thing I could think of to mention is the hardest I've ever seen Gunner laugh. At one point we were in the pool and I think John had been napping or something. And you know, I think he's the oldest guy there.
Starting point is 00:50:58 He's incredibly sore from all the sports we're putting him through. And so he's kind of like waddling out to the pool already, like walking weird. He's got a little bit of a gut, so he kind of sticks it out as he walks anyway. Then he's got these big black sunglasses on that look darker than normal.
Starting point is 00:51:13 And then he's holding his shoes in a really weird way, like bringing his shoes to the pool for some reason. And he's walking, yeah, it looks like a T-Rex or an upright alligator or something. And he's walking. And all I do is I just make the comment, you know, him with his glasses. I was like, it looks like a T-Rex or an upright alligator or something. And he's walking. And all I do is I just make the comment, you know, him with his glasses.
Starting point is 00:51:26 I was like, it looks like, it looks like he's blind. And that's all I say. And then the subsequent actions of my uncle just really reinforced that he might be blind. Yeah. And I've never seen Gunnar.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Gunnar was in tears. Oh my gosh. He was like squealing, laughing. I've never seen him laugh. I've never heard him laugh like that. I've never, yeah,
Starting point is 00:51:43 he looked like he was like, he didn't have any of the costume for it but he looked like three blind mice like that's what he looked like as he's walking around he kind of sits down and then since he's sore he's kind of like awkwardly sits down okay all right what's everyone up to who is all here? I had no idea what's going on here. Matt Gammon. Nice. Okay. Okay. It sounded like dice. You guys doing the ball trick?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Let me know if it goes high. Whoa, it sounded like a big splash. Oh, Brad must be jumping in. Oh, it's so funny. Yeah, Gunnar just died laughing. I texted him like an hour ago i just said remember when coach looked blind and he just goes bro that killed me hardest i've laughed in a while i ate the banana in the car had the banana peel still in the car and as far as i know but bananas disintegrate right like biodegradable yeah is that is that the right word? I don't think they just... What is it?
Starting point is 00:52:46 Yeah, biodegrade? What's the adjective? Correct me if I'm wrong, but apple cores, those just vanish into thin air. Those just are vaporized, right? What's the word? Biodegrade? Biodegradable, yeah. But like the adjective?
Starting point is 00:53:00 They are... They biodegrade? Biodegrade. Okay, those things biodegrade, right? That's kind of funny too. It's like, yeah, you can degrade bananas. Watch.

Starting point is 00:53:09 Hey, hey, you're real bruised. You got baggage. Hey, you're a little green for me. Yeah. Too ripe. Too ripe for me in this place. So he kicks this ball and immediately it's good. And immediately it's right down the middle.
Starting point is 00:53:21 It's like, that's in. And so the rest of us go nuts and a good three seconds, four seconds later, you just hear Jake in the background exclaiming. So, so that's, that's the, that's the background of this. Let's listen in. Um, and you can hear for yourself. This is embarrassing, but funny. It's so funny though, guys. It's the same play. That's a bad version. Here we go, baby. Here we go, baby. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Play from the beginning. Bucker's turn. Give this team a chance to go to the Super Bowl. How far is it? It's like 42, I think. 45. That's a field goal attempt right there. 42, I think. 45. 45. That's a field goal attempt right there. I dare you to ice him, Zach.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Come on, baby. Ah. Here it goes. Boom! Right down the freaking middle! Here it goes. Yes! Play it again, play it again, play it again. Give me it again.

Bucker turn, Bucker turn! What? Go to the Super Bowl? Well, because then eventually keep playing it Isaac runs up and down. Oh, yeah Yeah, Jake gets on a little play phone Phone from like Hattie or bow or something and it was a little bit longer Scott Scott gives a nice little you know show of how much he dislikes the Bengals. Oh, Joe! We're all in for a row here!
Starting point is 00:55:30 What is the name? What would be the equivalent to her name? I'm going to dox her in case somehow this gets back to her. I almost just said her name. It'd be like, Hevden. Is that too close? That's so close. People are going to think her name's Heather. Her name's not Heather, okay?
Starting point is 00:55:45 This is not that close. It's like not her name's Heather. Her name's not Heather, okay? This is not that close. It's like not when it's like Tymon's name. It'd be like saying, Trymon. No, it is not that close. Do you remember her name? It's not that close to her name. What'd you say?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Heatherdon? Yeah, I'd be like, her name is Heatherdon. I'd be like that adequately. Tymon's Grimes. Write down five guesses you have for this girl's name. There is no way Tyma's gonna get it. This girl's name, we've never heard of before. It's like a brand new name.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Alright, Tyma, we'll let you work on that. I'm only getting one. I'll keep... What's the one you got? Dang it! Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! We gotta mute that. We gotta mute that. Yeah, yeah, bleep that out. I Leave that out Five options, but there's an obvious first one
Starting point is 00:56:45 I've heard it really. Yeah, I know there's Nice girl, did I know the name? Hey, here we go, bleep it again. Shoot, shoot. That'd be funny if it's bleeped twice. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know tons of s***. Ah, no, I'm not saying, I'm not trying to say s***, I'm just saying s***. Oh my gosh. This episode's getting crazy. Sorry to interrupt, Hermanos, but we've got a long journey ahead.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Next is the music. The best moments involving music from the podcast this year. So enjoy that. And I'll talk about the hair on my neck next time I see you. Just run around. Run around and play. That's fun. I'm clanking around. It sounds like a real-life version of Trash in the Camp in Tarzan.
Starting point is 00:57:26 See? See? Wow! Wow! All together. That was perfect. That was great, guys. Thanks, Rachel, for the pots and pans noise. Have a great week, guys.
Starting point is 00:58:04 All right, see you guys. That's the end of the episode, right? Oh. Because I frizzle my fry radiation style worldwide. What is he talking about? If I miss with my missiles, you're still going to sizzle. Because I frizzle fry radiation style worldwide. And then, of course, illamai, illamai, illamai.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Jake, you're so shallow. You don't get that? You don't get that? Talk to me about the frizzle fry part frizzle fry radiation style worldwide frizzle fry what's that mean it's like an event annual yeah we're doing the frizzle fry and then there's like get the radiator going it's the whole world's there hey great frizzle fry this year. Rendell Weaver! And also the chorus. So it's spelled I-L-L-M-I.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Illumai, Illumai. Are those Roman numerals or is that the letters in Illuminati somewhat? But what does Illuminati have to do? Like, what is this song about? Illuminati, see, I don't think you're, you're interpreting,
Starting point is 00:59:02 when did this come out? Oh, 2004. 2004. This was before the Illuminati was a thing. Illuminati to them, I bet, is just like think you're interpreting. When did this come out? 2004. This was before the Illuminati was a thing. Illuminati to them, I bet, is just like you're illuminating to the world. Good vibes. Yeah, you're a light to the world.
Starting point is 00:59:13 I don't know what it is. Illumi, Illumi. Toby Mac's Illumi song. You know that or Illuminati is the name of the guy that featured in this. Genuinely. Illuminati's coming through. Illumi is a Toby Mac song that makes little sense to the first time listener. Oh, that's me. Shallow. Genuinely. The Illuminati's coming through. Illumi is a Toby Mac song that makes little sense to the first time listener.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Oh, that's me. Shallow. After searching the web, you'll find there's very little information regarding the meaning of the
Starting point is 00:59:33 lyrics. It's always about the Pharisees. About the Pharisees. That song's not about the Pharisees. Yeah, and draws from Jesus'
Starting point is 00:59:41 scathing remarks in Matthew 23 about people who act that they're righteous but actually hypocrites. Oh, right. The frizzle fry.
Starting point is 00:59:49 I get it. If you guys don't get it, just listen to it again. Honestly. It's confusing for first time listeners. Yeah. Yeah. That's on me. So that was about the Pharisees in Matthew 23.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Oh, he's kind of breaking down some lyrics. Oh, yes. Get to frizzle fry. This is great. Oh, yeah. This is on discover some lyrics. Oh, yes. Get to Frizzle Fry. This is great. Oh, yeah. This is on discover.hubpages.com. So just add some credibility here. Because I Frizzle Fry radiation style worldwide.
Starting point is 01:00:14 What does it mean? Toby is using a clever cultural reference to say, in effect, I'm evangelizing. Are you Frizzle Fried with that guy at work yet? Have you done the bridge yet? Have you gotten more frizzle or more fry? Which side is he on? He's using this analogy to say that he is a fisher of men. Frizzle fry as in like frying fish?
Starting point is 01:00:36 Maybe? Yeah. Fish fry. Frizzle fry. I love it. He wrote all these lyrics, then figured out what they meant. I mean, even the next, we didn love it. He just, I mean, I knew it. He wrote all these lyrics then figured out what they meant. I mean, even the next,
Starting point is 01:00:47 we didn't get to this part of the song, but the next lyric is, you got your pipe. Okay. This could be a prescription. If you're like in a hood, like doctor's office, he comes in,
Starting point is 01:00:58 he could tell you this right here. Oh yeah. You got your pipeline clogged, man. I can't even say it. You say it. Say it like you're a mechanic. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:12 You know what you got? You got your pipeline clogged, man. You got to get that puppy routed. That's the lyric of the song. And what does it mean, Tymon? What does this article say it means? You are missing the point. You don't have a real relationship with Jesus.
Starting point is 01:01:26 You got your pipeline clogged, man. Get that puppy routed. Get that puppy routed. You're missing the point, dude. Your pipeline. Pipeline isn't like a process. Like pipe would make sense. Your pipe is clogged.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Yeah, but pipeline. Your pipeline. I feel like it's more of a, it's like a network or something. Yeah. Well, you're missing the point. You're not going to the Lord with your problems.
Starting point is 01:01:49 You're clogged. You're not getting down to the roots. Your spiritual pipeline is clogged. Get that puppy routed. Hey, I'd route that thing. Anybody know a good pipeline router? It's funny, man. Toby Mac is very eclectic like very like goofy
Starting point is 01:02:06 or like original artistic i guess is what you call artistic yeah this okay this one uh you have some more lyrics this one right here this lyric says then i do sir producer hit me with the juice translation god give me the holy spirit yeah Yeah, of course. That one, I mean, I would desperately... Producer, hit me with the juice. That's what I pray every day. Brad, do you want to pray for the mail? That would be great. Like Gen Z prayers, and it's not really Gen Z prayers.
Starting point is 01:02:35 It's just Toby McClure. It's just the Illinois song. Hey, yo, producer, hit me with the juice. And if anyone here has got their pipeline clogged, God, I pray you would get that puppy routed. Puppy routed. Lips of an angel 70% match. That's how it's done.
Starting point is 01:03:03 That's how it's done. Man, I suck at singing. Man, I wish I was better. That was the... Sounds so sweet. 70% though. That's pretty good. Beat it, Oscar. Frick this thing.
Starting point is 01:03:30 What'd it say? What'd it say? 58% rap. Oh! The best hummer. Also, put it on me, Ja Rule, 22% rap. Okay, Ja Rule, Firefest. All right, everyone gets one more go around.
Starting point is 01:03:43 I'm going to do one, and you guys also see if you can identify this song. Cool. Okay. Don't laugh before I start. That's going to be 95%. That was perfect. Dang.
Starting point is 01:04:09 What? 15%. No way! I lost it. I lost it. More of a lips to an angel. Let me try it. Let me try this.
Starting point is 01:04:15 I also did a song where it's just the same note over and over, I realized, once I started humming. Oh, yeah. It's just the same. That's kind of how serving... All right, let me try that one. Nah, frig it. I don't want to do that one.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I chose a bad one. I'm going to do the verse of that, which is even sillier sounding when you hum it, I bet. 17 freaking percent. I hate that. Whoa! As you started doing it, I really thought, I was like,
Starting point is 01:05:10 maybe it's just the amount of time you give it, it ups the match. And that sounded great, and you only got 17%. It's gotta be the song. What if we sing it? Yeah. Maybe it's not,
Starting point is 01:05:21 maybe it's not homing. Try beating 70%. Go for it. Just a small town girl living in a lonely world. I don't know what song. Took the midnight train going. What'd you get? 70.
Starting point is 01:05:40 76. Oh. Okay, so it's- All right, let me try to hum the same thing. Let me try to hum the same thing. It's so hard. Humming is hard. Thank you. Okay. All right. Let me try to hum the same thing. Let me try to hum the same thing. It's so hard. Humming is hard. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Yeah, it is. Oh! Read it! Read it! Read it! 96. No, you! Read it! 96. No, you're fucking six! Whoa.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Nice. That's so interesting. I don't know. What is it determining? I don't know, but I feel good. What do you think? Thoughts? I love it, dude.
Starting point is 01:06:22 No matter how you get up, man, God's good, I guess, is what i'm thinking in it yeah it's um i get it i think it's another iteration of like hey this song's just supposed to be fun yeah it's supposed to be just whatever but um i'm gonna i'm gonna well go ahead i just it's still i mean we have to address that it's hilarious just what he decided to write like you have i mean the morning that's a the morning time is a massive topic there is plenty to write about and it's just like it just seems so elementary or like old school rap like i don't know you do zumba i do not like it's something about it it's like kids poppy or just like sesame streety to me you do the Zumba, but I do not.
Starting point is 01:07:07 You do the Zumba, not me. Give me like half a marathon. I'll give you the gospel of St. John. What does, is he asking? That part is interesting. Yeah. That's the one I don't understand. Like you give me, you run and I'll reward you with the book of John.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I'm timing you. Yeah. If you do good, I'll give you Matthew as well. Only four miles? Sorry. No gospels for you. I'll give you Nahum. We'll call it good there.
Starting point is 01:07:39 That part is probably the most confusing. I would say it's up there with hits me like a wake-up bomb you know a wake-up bomb because i don't know what that i don't know what that means wake up i'm awake now i am yeah i don't know what a wake-up bomb is like i think if it's if you're trying to make a reference to something outside of waking up like morning time man it hits me like a dump truck but to say wake up but it feels redundant like you're trying to make a reference to something outside of waking up, like morning time, man, it hits me like a dump truck. But to say wake up, it feels redundant. You're already saying morning time already woke you up.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Most of the time when I wake up, I go to the bathroom. Maybe that's what he's talking about. He's like... That was a wake up bomb. I wake up in the morning with a bomb. Here's a thought. Maybe we're missing... Is it Waco bomb? Is this about anti-government?
Starting point is 01:08:29 Waco bomb. Waco bomb. This is David Koresh. He's saying wake up to the Waco bomb. Oh, okay. Maybe? Probably. Yeah, that's probably it.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Wake up bomb is a bad line in there. Hits me like a wake up bomb. It doesn't make any sense. Hits me like... No, everyone gets it. It rhymes with Marathon and John. So perfect for Toby Mac. That part is just kind of interesting. And then the last part kind of trails off. You're kind of expecting it to rhyme. Give me half a marathon. Give you the gospel of St. John. Hits me like a wake-up bomb, because we both know that his mercy flows in the morning.
Starting point is 01:09:08 It's kind of like, oh. No, it flows. I thought I was going to, it's like the sneeze. I thought it was a sneeze. Yeah. Oh, I guess. In the morning. His mercy flows in the morning.
Starting point is 01:09:18 In the morning. It's good, though. I don't know. I've never really analyzed the lyrics except for, top of the morning to you, Deesa. And then I was just like. I think it's a great line to start it with. Top of the morning to you, Deesa. It's like, yeah, this is a song about the morning.
Starting point is 01:09:33 It's the top of the morning. Hey, Mandisa, we're in this song together. Yeah. Great start to the verse. Have you ever noticed how Toby Mac always wants his name before he does his verses? Toby Mac, Kim! Mr. Mac to the mic. Yeah, is that what she said? Mr. Mac to the mic. ever notice how toby mac always wants his name before he like does his verses toby mac kim what is mr mac to the mic yeah is that what she said mr mac to the mic that's very formal of her yeah mr mac oh top of the morning to you deesa yeah he's very formal back and mr mac and deesa to you
Starting point is 01:09:58 and yours mr mac you say smoothie me eyes cold coffee ule i what is it au lait. What is it? I think is it a chambrouillet au lait. What is it? Coffee au lait. Latte da. You do the Zumba? You do the Zumba. I do not.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Oh, you Zumba? That's like the worst conversation ever. Oh, you do Zumba? Really? Oh yeah, do you do it too? I don't. No. You like smoothies? In the morning? Ice cold pizza.
Starting point is 01:10:34 I have ice cold pizza. So both cold. So I get it. And both morning, which is what we're talking about. And you run? I don't run. No. I read my Bible, you sinner.
Starting point is 01:10:48 You jerk. Forget running. Toby Baggett just has social anxiety. It just is the worst connector, just with everything. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Half marathon?
Starting point is 01:11:03 Well, that hit me like a wake-up bomb. Yeah. Right? Everyone's thinking it. If you just say hit me like a blank bomb, you could put whatever you want in there. Wake-up just seems redundant. Hit me like a wake-up bomb. Hit me like a grape bomb.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Hit me like a buster bomb. Buster bomb's good. Buster bomb. Hit me like a buster bomb. Like you can imagine what a wake-up bomb is, but you've never experienced one. Hit me like a kickball bomb. Hit me like a buster bomb like you can imagine what a wake-up bomb is but you've never experienced one hit me like a kickball bomb hit me like a hit me like a saint john bomb hit me like a saint john reuse it again yeah hit me like a gospel bomb that is something i would like to be hit by hit me like a cannon bomb cannon bomb hey cannon bomb do you Do you do cannon bombs in the water? Yeah, do you?
Starting point is 01:11:47 I do not. No. No. Never have. Not even like, no, I'm more of a can opener. Just like, nope. No, I don't. No.

Starting point is 01:12:57 Go. Wow. That was some segment that we just listened to. And now we're going to listen to another segment. No, this past year we had some fun with a few different spam callers. I don't think Tony and Michelle was last year. Surely. But, man, we had some good ones this year.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Jake said some things that I thought to myself, I wouldn't have said that, but I'm glad you did. So sit back, relax, enjoy the best of 2024. What's that going to be like? Um, best of 2023 spam calls. Love you guys. Uh, Jamal Charles. Pretty fun. No way. Jamal Charles, one of my favorite chiefs, Nick Bolton. Hey, I'm getting a phone call it right now. Let's talk to him. Nick Bolton. What do you think about Nick Bolton? Hey, this is Jake. Yeah, can you tell me how much you're giving for cans? Cans right now, we're doing a deal, four for $5.
Starting point is 01:13:57 For, like, to recycle aluminum cans? Oh, those kind of cans. Sorry, I run a small soup kitchen as well. To recycle aluminum cans, yeah, they're just five cents a pop. Okay, and how late are you open today? Seven, uh, it's Thursday. Yeah. Okay, four o'clock.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Okay, thank you. Got all night. See ya. All right, thank you. What in the world? I don't know what that was. When you started saying seven, I was like, don't't say seven what if they're not open that late well that's what then i thought oh it's thursday she's gonna go in there with you know 40 cans expecting to get two bucks they give her back 17 cents hey hey we we got it down to five cents. Yeah, that was interesting. How much are you doing cans for?
Starting point is 01:14:46 You did not expect that. I thought four for $5 seemed like a good deal. She knew that was too good to be true. That seems like a great deal. Alright, it's a soup kitchen. Anyway, that was wild. Fun times at Supermarket Street. Hey, buddy.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Let's talk to him. Talk to him. Hey, buddy. Hey, yes. What's up, buddy. Hey, Jacob. Hey, yes. What's up, buddy? Hi, my name is Kyle Williams. I'm calling from the expired accounts department.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Travel now? Oh. Is it expired? Yeah, Jacob. The reason for the phone call is you purchased a vacation package a few years back. Looks like you made a large investment towards a trip but never actually traveled. What happened? Did you forget about it?
Starting point is 01:15:27 You know, life got in the way, COVID? A mix of the three. I forgot about it and then life got in the way and then COVID. That's not a problem.
Starting point is 01:15:39 Well, my job is to close out expired accounts. Once I saw how much travel credit you actually had on file, I really didn't feel comfortable closing it out
Starting point is 01:15:47 without giving you the opportunity to use the funds. How much travel credit do I have? How sizable of an investment are we talking here? Well, actually, when your account goes into expiration, there's no longer an available...
Starting point is 01:16:00 Oh, okay. So I have zero. I have zero. You go ahead and close it out then. The transfer credit is actually over 2,000 unused travel credits. It's actually set to expire today. No. Oh, okay. So I have zero. I have zero. You go ahead and close it out then. No. Today? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:16:16 I feel like I must. But you can't travel today. But I can't travel today. So, oh, well. Oh, well, that's actually not a problem. With the account out of expiration, you actually have a lifetime to use the package, meaning you can use it one year to ten years from now if you actually have to. Just drop a pen and paper while I pull up your account real quick.
Starting point is 01:16:33 Great. Just let me know when you're ready. I'll call you back here in a little bit. I got to talk to my wife before we make any travel plans. What is today? Plus COVID. Okay, we'll set up a follow-up call. When's the best time for us to reach out?
Starting point is 01:16:44 It expires today, though. Well, I mean, if it expires today, probably later today. Probably later today? Obviously. I mean, does it expire today? Or can we chat tomorrow? Oh, absolutely. Oh, okay. So it expires tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:17:02 No, today. Oh, it does expire today. All right, well, let's just chat about it tomorrow then got him okie doke that was a little confusing i see why he paused for four seconds. Gosh. Oh. Scam call.

Starting point is 01:17:49 Jacob is what? He's no longer with us. Okay. Does he have a new number? Yes. It is a grave plot off of Mission and 47th. What does that mean? The phrase, no longer with us, is a common euphemism for...
Starting point is 01:18:09 I could barely hear... I couldn't hear you when you said that. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. You didn't have to be rude. Thank you for your time. What, you didn't hear me, or I was rude? I didn't hear what you were saying, and then I didn't hear that part. You went in and out. Okay. And then when you

That's a good pick. Thank you. Are you being serious? I was being so creases.
Starting point is 01:36:32 Being dominated. Her husband, Ken, started as fine. But then he started screaming the word California to me and everybody else on the flight. So that was a little bit uncomfortable. And that is, of course, combining which two words? Communist in California. Yeah, big Trump guy.
Starting point is 01:36:55 Big Trump guy. And I think only because I said my dad farms did he automatically think that I was campaigning for Trump. He's like, I farm in Iowa. Iowa caucuses. Oh, you probably hate California too. So that was just weird to navigate. I mean, I have a lot of just terms on here.
Starting point is 01:37:17 Yeah, go off. Oh, yeah, he refers to himself as handsome. And so then he was wanting me to call him handsome. And I never did. Like, what did he say to? you're going to see me in Hawaii and you're going to say hey there's handsome and your husband's going to be so jealous okay
Starting point is 01:37:33 that's a funny story that won't happen wow we got to make that happen that's awesome handsome sorry meanwhile I'm having the time of my life in the back row because these two teenage girls didn't talk, didn't make a noise, didn't move for six hours.
Starting point is 01:37:52 And I had so much fun. They're scrawny little girls. I had it made back there. Lovely girls. Yeah, it was great. Would have had a blast with them. Okay, yeah, so Ken, pretty hard to talk to. Pretty hard for me to make eye contact with anyone else on the plane with
Starting point is 01:38:06 because they think I'm talking about comapornia. So after a while, I basically just had to close my eyes and try and sleep because if I had my phone out or my book out, they were going to talk to me. And it was fine for a while, but I got very uncomfortable with Ken after a while. I did not want to talk to him because he was being so just like like abrasive rude and abrasive and inappropriate and just what's some of the subject matter what's he talking about when he's being abrasive okay so
Starting point is 01:38:34 they would ask like okay so what are you in school for and you know i'm like counseling got a semester left and then he'd be like, my daughter's a psychologist in California. And she's always talking about, oh, what was your childhood like? Oh, trauma. Just like saying like triggered words, I guess. Jeez. But like in this awful tone. And he'd always bring it up to me and like shame that I was doing that.
Starting point is 01:39:03 He'd be like, so like if there's a shooter, like you're, you're gonna. You don't want to take his guns away. You want to take his childhood away, don't you? You think there was something that went wrong in his childhood. And I was like, you know, I mean, there's studies about stuff like that. More than likely. Yes. You know, just.
Starting point is 01:39:21 It's so funny just to take a dump on someone's career right after they told you about it. Like let's, you be Ken, I'll be normal. Okay. You know, just. It's so funny just to take a dump on someone's career right after they told you about it. Like, let's, you be Ken, I'll be normal. Okay. So yeah, actually, I play professional basketball. Oh, you think you're better than everyone because you're tall. Oh, you can dunk. Cool. Good luck doing that when you're my age.
Starting point is 01:39:40 Exactly like that. That's the Ken experience. That is. That is. Anything you say. At one point point he was like i'm gonna see you when we're both in hawaii and you're gonna say hey handsome i got sunburned and now i'm depressed i'm gonna curl up into the fetal position like just on and on and on
Starting point is 01:39:58 you're like cool that's hilarious every time you say it it gets funnier handsome keep going lynette are you hearing this every time i couldn't believe it gets funnier, handsome. Keep going. Lynette, are you hearing this? Every time, I couldn't believe it. Yeah, it was just so crazy. I was just thinking, there's those people. It's like very much a hippie culture. 100%. Yeah, there's a bunch of different verticals, I would say.
Starting point is 01:40:14 You got the local population. You got actually Hawaiian native population, which is part of local population, but its own kind of vertical and culture. You got all the Polynesian cultures. Then you got, yeah, with the transplants, you got hippie culture. The people that are breastfeeding in the river with their kids. That's a real thing that you see every other day.
Starting point is 01:40:31 Why in the river? Why in the river? Just get out of the river. The whitest women you can ever think of, they're just knockers out in the river. They're all my friends. I have seen a woman breastfeed on a trampoline at the trampoline park.
Starting point is 01:40:46 In the midair? She's not. She was latched in the air? In the midair? What? She's jumping? On video? That needs to be the clip.

Starting point is 01:41:28 that ball? Yeah, it was, but there is, hippie culture is a strong culture here. I always relate it to like,
Starting point is 01:41:33 it has like aspects of Portland almost a little bit, but with like island culture as well. Really? You guys are lucky. Anyway,
Starting point is 01:41:39 anyone who lives in somewhere where you can call it an aspect of Portland. Yeah, you're just like, that's all I wanted. That's all I wanted.
Starting point is 01:41:44 It's a nice sliver of Portland. It's all I've looked for. Yeah, I hope someday to make enough money where I get a an aspect of Portland. Yeah, you're just like, that's the way to do it. That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted. It's a nice sliver of Portland. That's all I've looked for. Yeah, I hope someday to make enough money where I get a sliver of Portland. Yeah, that must be nice. How low do you get your gas tank get before filling it? I've definitely ran out of gas before, so. No!
Starting point is 01:41:58 Oh yeah. And actually? You never have? Oh yeah, like you've done it multiple times? You never have? Multiple times? And both? No, never.
Starting point is 01:42:05 Two or three times. Two or three times. And the same guy from my community helped me. He drove by very quickly. That's your girl ran out of gas again. Not her town, her community. Yeah, two people from her community. No way.
Starting point is 01:42:18 Yeah. Well, one time I was like going to the gas station. Sure. And Jake in New Hartford you know you have to go over those train tracks to get to Casey's I got over the train tracks and then the car shut off it was like like I was looking at the gas station and so then that meant like the steering yeah so I couldn't turn into the gas station so the car just died like oh you were gas station. They couldn't turn in the driveway.
Starting point is 01:42:46 So what's this guy's name that came and helped you out? Barry Cavalier. Really nice guy. He's athletic director at the middle school in New Hartford. He's a great guy. Have you ran out of gas? Yeah. Once or twice.
Starting point is 01:42:56 What? Yeah. Okay, first of all, the fact that you don't remember once or twice or two or three. It was a long time ago. Shows that we didn't learn our lessons. We've matured since then. So how low do you get it now? Not,
Starting point is 01:43:09 well, I don't know. When it says, hey, go get gas. I say, okay. I don't let it get that low.
Starting point is 01:43:15 I mean, I feel like I, like 20 miles to empty. Yeah. Is probably when I go. And I think the bell comes on at like 40 miles to empty. However, I'm starting this new thing.
Starting point is 01:43:24 I just did it for the first time. Ooh, Catherine Kick. Eh, it's a new rhythm, weekend rhythm. Fill up your car. I like it, I like it. That's it. No, every weekend. You build that up so much, like,
Starting point is 01:43:37 oh, and I have this new idea. It's a new thing I'm doing. But it's specifically on the weekend. Specifically on the weekend. So even if you have three quarters of a tank, fill it up. Yeah. And so then every weekend you do that.
Starting point is 01:43:50 And then you set yourself up for success. There you go. On Monday. And you start your week off so nice. Sure, nothing to worry about then. Nothing to worry about. Just free and easy. Rachel, I know you have an electric car now. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:00 How close have you let that thing, have you ever let that run out of battery? Because that would be like a big deal. Oh, it would. I'm so scared of it. Because mine doesn't hold as much as jake's and the way to iowa it gets really close on my drives home from like charger to charger yeah it gets to like 10 miles left see that i've never ran out of gas so I don't have any like fear of that. I'm like 10 miles and 10 miles. I'll be fine.
Starting point is 01:44:26 That's sort of what I think. But what scares me is Jake's always like, it's not exactly 10 miles. It's like about, yes, yes, that's true. Well, I was thinking the opposite. Like I've gotten it towards like past zero on the, oh yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's like every weekend I get there. I never film that past a quarter tank.
Starting point is 01:44:47 Boo. Boo! How'd the second one compare to the first one? Really spooky. I was looking for grande. The second boo was bigger than the first. This next segment, Hermanosos is all about grande boo. So, buckle up and buckle up.
Starting point is 01:45:10 See ya. I know firsthand that homeschoolers are more sheltered than other kids in lots of different ways. But I would love to hear from your parents, Tymon, about how they managed to shelter you from having even a shred of masculinity. Tymon, I'm sure your parents had zero questions for you when you said you were going to record two grown men in one of their guest bedrooms that they converted into a studio of sorts.
Starting point is 01:45:49 I'm sure that they just thought you were going to class at someone else's house for the day. I just want to remind everybody that there's a concession stand out there, get some movie theater popcorn. They've got coke products, but according to Brad it's probably a 1 million percent Pepsi. Folks, we have the amazing Rachel Triplett in the building tonight. Rachel, you look like minutes getting to know Catherine. I have not found a flaw in her. She's an amazing lady.
Starting point is 01:46:38 And then every time I see Brad and Catherine together, it just reminds me that arranged marriages can be successful. Did you know that your kid drives a Tesla? You knew that right? Right. I'm sure when he goes back to Stratford the people are going crazy they're like there's a spaceship downtown. The next the Stafford Gazette the next day is like Ginger Martian drives spaceship through downtown. Is this the end for everyone? You all learned recently that Rachel doesn't like Barbie.
Starting point is 01:47:12 Recently as in on the podcast. Rachel doesn't like Barbie, fall, or getting her nails done. I think you guys were as shocked as I was that I married a dude. My dad's here tonight. Nice for him to come and give his time. You might know him as Rachel's father-in-law. You might know him as the guy who likes every single one of your Facebook posts. My dad's here tonight, nice for him to come and give his time. You might know him as Rachel's father-in-law. You might know him as the guy who likes every single one of your Facebook posts.
Starting point is 01:47:30 I'm sure you've all got a notification from him at some point. I grew up with a speech impediment saying my Rs. My dad still has a speech impediment saying everything. Steve, I don't know if I should say it. Steve, oh, dang it. Steve has worked for countless years in the food industry, which apparently doesn't make enough money to pay for his kids to get braces. Schmeagle from the Lord, sorry, Rachel Triplett is here. I first met Rachel two years ago at the infamous meeting. You all know the story. You know, Jake and I were at Topgolf. Rachel was there at the entrance with her Girl Scout troop selling cookies. Now, I refused at first, but Rachel looked at me with those two golf balls she calls eyes, and I couldn't resist. I figured she needed it for a surgery or something.
Starting point is 01:48:33 All right. And, uh, Hey, last, but certainly not least. Um, I guess it's my last thing. I think Jake actually has the last one. Always the bridesmaid. Um, last, but certainly not least. Um, we're going to end it with a jingle. Um, maybe this is the last thing. Hey, I don't know. It timing's taking care of it. I'm just doing the transition. Maybe this is the last thing. Hey, I don't know. Timon's taking care of it. I'm just doing the transition. So Timon, do your thing. Ending jingle. Oh, it's just, I sing sometimes. And it's been really fun this past year. I think we gained them in February or March, but Timon has been such a blessing to us in the show, the podcast talk show. And yeah, just being able to sing alongside of two people now that are really good singers and Jake and Tymon has just been a huge blessing. So enjoy some of the best end it with the jingle moments.
Starting point is 01:49:18 And yeah, just from me to you guys, thank you very much for a wonderful past year um we're continuing to just try to push to um put our energy and our love and our care towards this podcast um to try to make it as meaningful as possible while still being this innocent goofy um just natural thing that it is so um thank you for all your support.

Here go top gun and east coast sunsets for example south padre island now he may laugh right in your face when he is winning pickleball.
