Yeah, not so easy, is it, kids? Bo's like, can I do that again? I was like, you're going to have to because you didn't do great the first time. You have to redeem yourself. What do you think? Oh, man. They're great, though. They're fun. It's nice that they're talkative. I very much look forward to watching that

movie with Hattie. Sometimes. I know. We have the same favorite song. I didn't even know that. Whenever you ask that question, I was like, she's not going to have an answer for that. Really? Because I don't, we don't, as far as I know, I mean, I'm not with her all the time, but I haven't heard us listen to that song ever. I don't know how that song goes. Really?

I just know from you, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. But that could be off, and I don't know. That's just all I know. No, you nailed it. So, yeah. How's life in the last, you know, couple seconds that we haven't podcasted yeah I still have a mustache that's going well I like it you keep it around maybe I don't know

no one's saying no I bagged my dough exactly careful sorry I've snatched my property I have claimed what's mine sorry that was offensive yeah that's a good I have claimed what's mine. Sorry, that was offensive. That's a good bit.

Yeah, that's kind of funny. Sorry, sorry, sorry. That might offend somebody. I've legally dominated this woman into submission. There, that's better. But yeah, I'm trying to think of anything else. Speaking of children's movies, Prince of Ege, I, you know, they remade the Lion King, I think in like 2019 or so, like kind of a... Live action is what they call it.

Is that what that is? Right time? Yep. Yeah. But weird thing about that one is there's not a single bit of real footage in it, so it doesn't make any sense. Well, that's why I was nervous to call it live action because I was like, well, it's all CGI.

Oh, okay. But maybe that is the right term. But I think it's referred to as live action. CGI of action. CGI of action. New Year. We watched that movie in Stratford. It's an awesome movie. Is it? It's awesome. Better than the cartoon? It's honestly

all of it is exactly the same. They didn't change a lot, which is great. Good going. A lot of it's very much the same. They didn't change a lot, which is great. Yeah. Good going. A lot of it's very much the same, except Timon and Simba. No. Timon and Pumbaa. Timon and Pumbaa. Timon and Pumbaa.

Hilarious. Seth Rogen and somebody else? Seth Rogen and... Billy Eichner? Yeah, Billy on the Street. Oh, nice. Yeah. They do an amazing job. Yeah.

I've seen that movie how many times as a kid? Just saw it on an adult, and I would go see it again as an adult. Seriously. So, rating fan for Lion King the live action movie.

Who's like instigating let's watch Lion King live action at Stratford? Great question. I wish I could think back to it. And where are you watching? Are you watching downstairs or are you watching upstairs?

We are all together watching it in the living room. Caitlin, Brayden, me, Rachel, mom, dad,

couple dogs. I think they might have had it recorded on their DVR. Okay. And I was looking through things on their DVR. I was like, oh, Lion King. Something like that happened. And yeah, watched it. Awesome.

Yeah. Just want to throw that out there. I think a lot of people might disagree with you. Oh, really? I think a lot of people didn't like it. Oh, really? Which I thought was interesting. I've seen it it's like nothing to like creatively extra happens but also that's like kind of how i want it to be yeah you don't want to take too many liberties yeah

exactly yeah yeah yeah i think a lot of people complain about the animals not being like expressive like at all which like it's fair they don't really make any facial expressions oh yeah i guess but like they're they're supposed to be real looking. So, I don't know. I'm scared to watch it because of how much I like the actual, like, cartoon Lion King. I don't want it to, like, taint that for me. Yeah. I mean, I probably haven't seen that movie since I was seven years old.

But I feel like I can still remember watching the live-action version. I was like, oh, that's even the same line that, like, triggered a memory. I was like, oh, they're using, like, very similar dialogue and same script. It's like the Lion King, but that like triggered a memory i was like oh they're using like very similar dialogue and same script so it's like the lion king but like a nature documentary yeah yeah it's like a planet like bbc did lion king yeah but added in like better jokes yeah it was awesome so are you guys like a movie watching family no just you should just like flip on the office or the chiefs uh-huh but Lion King popped on. It was awesome. It's time to watch it. My sister had never seen Nate Bargetze before. And I told her I got tickets to his show, blah, blah, blah.

And she's like, oh. And I was like, let's watch. So we watched the stand-ups. So good. First thing that fell in love with them. I had Rachel watch that in Australia because she wasn't familiar with them either. I think it's so...

That one specifically. Maybe it's because it was my first time I ever saw him, but I was like, this is so funny to me. And she was dying. Like my sister was laughing so hard. Yeah. So good. We've been on like a little Nate binge.

So I don't know where this is at in his comedy career, but we found, maybe it's on the standups, but he's talking about reading and he's talking about how he's like, I hate reading because it's just every page, it's more words. It's like just so many words and you flip the next page, it's more words. It's just so many words. You flip the next page, you're like, let me get my head above water. I could throw in a picture, a diagram or something. Nothing but words.

I don't think I've heard that. I hadn't heard that either. I've never heard that joke before, so I must have come across that at some point. It was Tymon's joke. Did he post on social media? I don't know. It's so funny. As far as glow-ups go, I don't know if there's a better one than don't know. It's so funny. As far as glow-ups go,

I don't know if there's a better one than Nate Bargat. It's not bad. He looked just homely. Yeah, he was chubby and wore a puka shell necklace in some of his early comedy stuff. That was cool back then. And that was sick. It's way different.

Just wildly different. I don't know. Maybe that makes him funnier. You get funnier, you get more attractive. I guess so. And I don't know. Maybe that makes them funnier. You get funnier, you get more attractive. I guess so. Hope that happens to us. I think if we do this long enough,

surely we'll get funnier. You're going on the road again soon? Yeah, next show is a hometown show. So me, Isaac, Trey, and Derek are going to load up the car, and we're driving down to Springfield, Missouri. Fun. On like the 11th, I think, Goloj's Theater. Fun. Like the 11th, I think. Goloys Theater.

That venue was where my grandma, my dad's mom, Grandma Triplett, her first job was at the Goloys, selling popcorn. Really? Now she gets to come see me there. That's pretty fun. She got to come a year and a half ago, too, I think. But yeah, so that's fun.

Springfield, Fayetteville, Oklahoma City. Yeah. It's going to be fun. Rachel's going to meet up with me in Oklahoma City. You're going to see some friends, see Bailey from Bondi Bowls see uh the huderberg so all the all the heavy hitters fun weekend um yeah i talked to derrick at the new year's eve party and i was like you didn't get to go to australia did you he's like no but i get to go to utah and springfield in january so

like fair enough. Yeah. That'd be fun to get on stage. I've written a lot of stand-up, but I don't know if I want to try it at the hometown show. I was like, I can't try new stuff when Uncle John's there. Why not? Because you're not confident enough in it? Yeah, it's never going to be that good your first time doing it.

You've got to polish it up a little bit. How do you, what does it look like to polish it up? You just, first of all, you find what works and what doesn't you know you write five minutes worth and you're like okay 80 of that worked great so let's improve what we already have take out the stuff that's out there and then maybe you elongate what already is there you know just a lot of just like taking out putting in yeah the more you say something the the better you get there's no filler words there's no thinking like, is this the right, you know, it's just second nature.

So. Does that ever mess with you though? Like, because what if, what if for instance, you do new jokes in Springfield and they go as well, not B minus,

B plus, whatever you want to call it. But what if it's just Springfield doesn't love it? Or what if those specific people, because then I would, I would think like, I got to have like a sample size of five shows before I know

if this is good or not. And that's probably good. I mean, yeah, I think any comedian probably should do it that way. I will say outside of Perth, Australia, most of our shows are very similar. Like you get laughs at this time, you don't get laughs at this time, you know, whatever. And then just the shape of the venue itself determines how

big that laugh is. Right. But you can like contextualize it to where like okay the biggest laugh in the pabst theater milwaukee it's not gonna be that loud but it that was the loudest one of the night so i know that's my best joke yeah you know oh are you pumped to be back in america for comedy yeah it's gonna be nice like ah some warm crowds yes they know bidets again. It's going to be great. Wow, Australia, you would think. Not really. Also, we learned, I think I even mentioned this on the podcast, I talk about getting spanked as a kid. Apparently in Australia, spanking is more of a sensual term,

and they call it whooping. So when I was saying my dad spanked me, it'd be like saying my dad. My dad, yeah, whatever. Did something inappropriate. Fell in the blank to me. So that wasn't hidden. So whooping is what you should My dad whooped me

Yep, learned that once I was done FYI, next time you're in Australia You're just up there So I was an abuse victim A lot of spankings Privately Wow, that's so funny Yeah, my dad would, whatever, no.

So yeah, it'd be nice to be back in America, and they should get all the jokes. So we'll see. Yeah, I wrote some new stuff about milk and cereal, just stuff that just, it's just like how much I love. I had it right between podcasts. I love milk. Yeah.

Love cereal. Want to talk about that? My stance is basically just like how we grew up thinking milk was the best. Like it was marketed to us as like a sports drink almost. Yeah. Michael Jordan drank milk. Yeah.

Mark McGuire had milk. Gatorade came along. I was like, good luck in this industry. I wouldn't. I wouldn't touch that. That's not going to work. Disrupting this industry. Yeah.

Got to compete against Highlanderian moms. Not going to. 100%. You got Frank Thomas with the bat on his shoulder. Which did you see that Fox tweeted out that he died? this industry yeah gotta compete against highlanderian moms not gonna 100 you got frank thomas with you know the bat on his shoulder which did you see that fox tweeted out that he died and he like had to post a selfie he's like uh it's kind of a bummer that my previous employer fox said that i died i'm i'm fine no so yeah the big mix-up but they said he was dead so i was like dang i guess frank thomas died was it like somebody similar, like Frank Robinson or something?

It might have been. I really don't know. I just saw like a Frank. Yeah. Wow. But kind of funny. That's wild. I've also been thinking, you know, I already have that bit in my set about horoscopes,

the Virgo story that I told in the podcast. It's like, why don't I just elaborate on horoscopes? Those are idiotic. I'm sure I could think of some things to say. I don't have anything yet, but that seems like an easy... I could elaborate on horoscopes, how ridiculous they are. Oh, yeah. I think I might just talk to someone in the audience.

Who believes in horoscopes here? And let's just see where that goes. And just make fun of them for two minutes. Yeah, absolutely. A hundred percent. So, we'll see. That's fun. I'm excited for you guys to be out there.

I thought about, and I still could, I guess, but I thought about going to the Springfield show. Just because it's fun. I'm excited for you guys to be out there. I thought about, and I still could, I guess, but I thought about going to the Springfield show. Yeah. Just because it's fun. It's fun to go with you guys and see how it goes. A lot of family will be there. Fulbright's going to be there. Paige Farr is going to be there.

I'm in. No, I'm just kidding. Simply for Paige. That's fun. So, yeah. Do we have a fun month? Yeah. For Christmas time, we had a little Christmas party for K-Life at Kansas City Country Club.

Oh, wow. Fancy place, right? Time, if you don't know, I feel like it's like one of the top. Probably top three. Yeah. All of Kansas City. Golf country clubs in Kansas City. Wow.

One of the board members is a member there. And so we went to this thing. First of all, we were just, what's it called? Out of water? Fish out of. And so we went to this thing. First of all, just, we were just, what's it called? Out of water, fish out of water. I was gonna say ducks.

What's it when you're out of, what is it? The ducks are, yeah, no, we're duck, dry ducks. My daddy owns the lake. Um,

you know, we went there and it was a lot of fun, but, uh, there was one point where I was like getting food on my plate and I just dropped like half my bun. I just swept it under the table. I thought you were going to say,

I mean, it's a country club. This place is clean. Yeah, exactly. No harm, no foul. But just a little rant, I suppose. And maybe you're going to agree. Maybe you're going to disagree. Tymon, you weigh in too.

Okay. But they had a rule, dress code, no jeans. I don't think these days that should be the universal dress code. What makes it nice and not as nice as jeans? Because there are some very nice jeans out there. There are some very bad-looking slacks out there. It should just say, like, no pants that don't fit you well.

Yes. Just wear something that fits you well. Like, there are some guys that look incredible in jeans that probably those jeans cost $500 or whatever. And then there's some guy that just, you know, has pleated pants that his dad passed down to him. Khaki. Yeah.

And they're way too big, way too wide, wide around the knee, just looking goofy in these pants. I'm like, I don't think jeans need to be the the be all end all of just too casual of clothing i'm with you i think it's fair to say no rip jeans maybe that's the type of clientele you want yeah kent city country club also infamous for their golf dress code okay the type of socks you must wear if you're wearing shorts are white calf length socks calf length you have to wear calf-length socks. Interesting. Or pants, I assume.

Isn't that so weird? Yeah. It's just the epitome of like a boomer energy of just like there's an old guy running this. 100%. Because he doesn't have, he doesn't realize there's another option. He's basically saying socks required.

He doesn't realize he's like, you know, getting specific. Oh, interesting. Yeah. So I think Isaac got to play there one time, you know, specific oh interesting yeah so i think isaac got to play there one time you know some connection or whatever and he like had to like kept pulling up his socks because he got in trouble really yeah oh he got in trouble yeah socks were too low yeah i see those things hey pull them up hey squirt yeah not not your pants but pull up your

socks gave socks higher really what a funny thing to command. It is an interesting spot. I mean, it's like super historic and fancy. It's not like brand new and nice. It's like old nice. Yeah. Like creaky floors when you're walking through it and stuff, but like it just feels like I'm not supposed to be here. Yeah, I've never

been in it, but I've seen it from the outside. It just looks like an old building. Not that impressive from the outside. Right. It's kind of just like this cute little cottagey looking thing, but you have to pay half a million dollars to go in that building. Is that right? I mean, I don't know what it is, but yeah,

dang. I know that Lizzie Ravlica is her, uh, wedding reception was there. So I've been there one other time. Ravlica doing all right. But, uh,

yeah, anyway, I just, I don't know. Uh, the, the whole jeans thing kind of just bothered me that's fun so i have something even uh just whatever i have something else to say yeah about just even just nothing yeah just more even more random uh i love anytime i get to talk to steve about farming i feel like i always learn a bunch. We were talking about,

because I know at one point in time, I think it was shared on the podcast. I said, where's the best farmland in the whole world? And he said, Grundy County, which is like the county over. I was like, holy cow, is that true? He's backtracked that a little bit. He was talking about it.

He says the best soil in the whole earth is in Ukraine. And that's why he hates this war right now. He said like Iowa dirt, some of the best dirt in the world, but even at its best, it might be two to like four feet deep of black dirt, which is like the good dirt. He said in Ukraine, there's places that have 12 feet of black dirt and now we're just putting landmines in it and blowing it up. He said it kills him as a farmer that this war is happening. So what, what can you do? Sorry for asking you questions on things you probably don't have answers to. What can you do with 12 feet of black dirt that you can't do with four?

Great question. I wish I would have asked him that. Yeah. Can I throw a few theories out there? Please. During a drought, no problem. Oh, yeah. So rich.

A lot of nutrients. Yeah. Maybe the yield is much better. Maybe just everything gets better. The percentage of good corn, good beans. That ends my theories. Okay. Timing.

I was just also wondering like how, how deep can corn go or like, buckle up buddy. How much time do you have? But like, I mean, if it's like four feet versus 12 feet, like how deep are these roots even going? That there's a huge difference. But then it's like, I get, if it's like four feet versus 12 feet, like how deep are these roots even going? That there's a huge difference. But then it's like, I get what you're saying. Like maybe it's more consistent.

Like a little difference is a big difference in four feet, but not 12 feet of. He's probably, he probably hates hearing this and are unknowing. He's like yelling at his, yeah. They don't know it's about the nitrogen it can hold. Of course, it's about the nitrogen it can hold. Oh, of course. It's 101.

Everyone knows that. Did you grow up in Stratford having ag class? Like a shop class or like a. Like I didn't know that there was like high school ag classes. Yeah, I don't think we had those. Really? Yeah, we had like wood shop and like metal works. Yeah, no, no. Like there was like FFA style.

Like learn about corn class. Yeah, like there were people at K-State that were, their major was agriculture education. I was like, oh, what are you going to do with that? And they're like, teach ag in high school. I was like, okay. Okay, I didn't know that was, don't look at me like I'm the idiot.

Like. Yeah, it is a dumb. Yeah, I'm glad you responded that way. Yeah. Because it's a fair question to ask because their answer should be farm. If you're going to learn everything about it, go do it.

Yeah, I don't know. Ned Schneebly, those who can't do, teach. Teach. Those that can't teach, Tymon? I don't know. Teach Jim. Yo-Yo Ma's cousin. Lil Nepotiz. Lil Nepotiz.

Lil Nepotiz. Ty, have you ever seen School of Rock? No. Time in. Ghost Runners movie night. School of Rock. Hey, Rachel's going out of town for like 10 days. That'd be fun.

School of Rocket? Yeah, dude. She's going out of town for a long time. Yeah. You going to miss her? Yeah. Good. That's healthy.

Good. Good. Good. long time yeah you're gonna miss her yeah good that's healthy good good good um in school of rock i there's one other jack black movie that i heard a lot of good jack school rock has jack black right kind of kind of okay he's like in the majority of the scenes okay he didn't direct it yeah um but uh i watched nacho libre okay and hated it okay i've never seen it so shot for shot um remake of nacho libre basically uh no it's like the exact opposite of nacho libre good i think it is if it wasn't written for jack black i would be surprised like he is such a perfect role for that movie like a. Like a sloppy substitute teacher. Well, not even.

It's just who likes guitar. Yeah. Yeah, it's good. Cool. Timon. I would say it, like, shaped me musically about as much as anything. And you're probably a good age to watch it. It's probably when we watched it.

I watched it younger, probably 12, 13. Older sisters. You weren't homeschooled, though, so. Yeah, it's actually equivalent. Maybe it was, whatever it, 13. Older sisters. You weren't homeschooled though, so. Yeah, it's actually equivalent. Maybe it was, whatever it was. It was middle school, but it was like right at that age. Did you feel like there was an age where like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd was like the rage?

Here's what I'll tell you. Girl I graduated high school with got a Lynyrd Skynyrd tattoo across her stomach. So that, you didn't have ag class, but you still had white trash class. Across her stomach? Across her stomach. She's had a couple kids since then. I would love to see the tattoo now. Lennar's Gare.

Oh my gosh. See that? It's kicking. It's kicking. It's kicking Lynn. He loves the L. Yeah. She was awesome awesome dude good fun girl i don't know why she got that tattoo so i never felt like leonard skinner was the rage but for lindsey i think she definitely thought leonard skinner was the right no she thought it was lindsey skinner wait i've never even heard of a

tattoo across your chest what What about your stomach? That's yeah. Surely just right there. Like, like, like above the belly, around the belly button. Really?

Yeah. From like rib to rib. Like it took up a good, like, you know, a good flak jacket size. Did it scare you? Like,

is she, did she, I feel like anybody that gets a tattoo in high school is kind of scary. She's kind of scary girl in Stratford. They were throwing those things around. Dime a dozen. Really? Yeah, I mean, a handful of people definitely got tattoos.

Did you ever think about getting one? No, no, no. I wasn't like those people. Right. It wasn't the tattoo gang. No, but I mean, I don't think I got scared of Lindsay. She was great. We were good friends.

Yeah. There were a couple guys on the football team that had tattoos. I remember I was like a freshman coming to like the first couple practices. I was like, I am not looking at that guy. Don't make me go up against him. Please, no. That guy is huge. That guy has a beard.

but jeans are not casual. Wait, I just did that. No, I'm just kidding. Um, I couldn't even like mess it up. I like struggle. Uh, no. Um, okay. So long story short, my truck, which we all know is like rusted out struggling ever since I bought it, it looked like it was dying. Um, officially got the word. It's like, Hey, six months probably or less this thing's not doing too well. Um, but my, my neighbor, um, my childhood neighbor, he still lives next door to my parents. Um, he went to school to be a mechanic. He's done a lot of mechanic stuff. And so I brought him my truck because it was leaking a bunch of oil. And he calls me. I drop it off with him. He calls me while I'm in Texas for Christmas.

And he's like, hey, I got some good news and some bad news. And then he proceeds to talk to me like I also went to school to be a mechanic. And I just have to. Let's talk Roto-Rooter valves. I just have to pretend like just based off his tone. I just have to pretend like, just based off his tone, I just have to react the right way. That is a pet peeve of mine when people don't look through the lens of someone else. Their whole life revolves around their worldview, their knowledge, their skills,

and that's how they treat everyone. And doesn't it feel like mechanics are more prone to that than anybody else? I would say mechanics and old guys. Yeah, maybe so because I'm always just like, I don't know, like maybe six, can I drive a truck?

Maybe that makes me people assume like this guy knows what he's talking about. He drives an old truck. He probably works on this himself. That's why I got this old truck or whatever. I don't know. Um, but he's like, so I,

I changed out the rear, the gaskets and this, and actually it wasn't that bad. You know, whatever. He's telling me all this stuff. And the fuses, when's the last time you changed on the fuse? I gaskets and this, and actually it wasn't that bad. You know, whatever. He's telling me all this stuff. And the fuses. When's the last time you changed on the fuses? I was like, oh, good, good.

Okay. He's like, the problem is I did find some oil in the rear main seal. Thankfully he talks like that. So, you know, when the good news comes. And I'm like, okay. I was like, oh, I was like, okay. So he said RMS. I was like, oh. I was like, okay. You said RMS? I was like, oh, is it not?

Okay, so is it? We want it there? Or there's not enough there? So is it dead? So you had to take off the tires? No, I was like, okay. Pop the hood. And before all the mechanics listening comment, it's bad.

It's not good. I know it's bad. So I don't know exactly what it means, but it just means that there's oil going places it's bad. It's not good. Uh, I know it's bad. So I don't know exactly what it means, but it just means that there's oil going places. It's not supposed to and leaking oil and whatever. Uh, but it's just amazing to me, like how he just assumed that I like for, for seven minutes, he told me the ins and outs, like specifics of a type of, you know, the ins and outs of a car a long time. Yeah. Yeah. And I appreciated him telling me, but I was also like, dude, I don't know. Thank you for the throw, but dumb it down.

I was like, so can I drive it home? You know, whatever. So, I mean, yeah, he was very helpful and did it for a great price. You know, he was very honest about did it for a great price. He was very honest about everything. And that was the good news. It wasn't as expensive as he originally thought. But the bad news, it's leaking out the rear main seal.

Rear main seal. It's like, oh, man, that's way worse than the front one, right? Don't tell me back left, not driver's side. It's like, okay. And do we need to pop the trunk? Yeah, right. There's no trunk because it's a truck. No, that's what I was thinking.

I said pop the truck. I need to get it out of here. Pop, get it out. Have AAA take it home for me. So anyway, but now he's telling me, apparently my truck is pretty, because of this rear main seal thing. It's not very resellable, but the parts like the engine, the transmission, this truck is, was like such a good year and such a good engine transmission that I should try to sell it for parts. So now I got to pretend like I know what that means and

how to do that. Yeah. That's tough. So I'm gonna have to Google that. Or if somebody knows how to do that, let me know. What are you willing to pay someone to just to do all that for you? Uh, I don't know. It depends on 10% maybe. Yeah. It depends on how much I would get for it versus how hard it would be or whatever. Yeah. But anyway. Yeah. So looking for a new truck. That is fun. It's just fun. It's, it's very fun. It's a fun time. It's fun because you earned it. I, I, yeah, fair. And I've also been fun time. It's fun because you earned it. Yeah, fair. And I've also been saving up, so it's not like this stressful,

like, oh my gosh, I have to fork all this money over that I don't have and have payments and blah, blah, blah. You thinking cyber? Cyber, no, I'm not thinking cyber. Nothing, Rivian. Probably the Riv, yeah.

Yeah. Those things are pretty cool, though. I do like the Rivians. They look really sweet. Yeah. If I had a truck need in my life, maybe I maybe i saw the cyber truck i saw somewhere like the cyber truck is like being banned in some places because apparently oh really like the front of it is too like hard to be safe for like like cars are made to like if they hit something hard enough they'll

like crumple but apparently it's like it like which kind of makes it dangerous for like pedestrians and stuff oh if you're like if you hit them often then i would say don't get a cyber truck if you like bump into bikers if you have a history of like yeah running people over probably not probably not for you don't do it honestly driving might not be for you that's funny i'll have to try and keep like tabs on like because i feel like that's happening to me a lot where people like someone has bombarded me with their jargon where it's like, I have the wherewithal to not like annoy you with videography terms.

Like if I'm having a conversation about it, like I'm going to make it like easy to understand. I can imagine it happening to you on the, on the road with sound guys or something like that. Yeah. That's not bad. Like something's going on with it. He's like, yeah, i had to tweak the midis in the and it's like oh okay it sounds good now how's 16 hertz 16 hertz is that too low for you something like that maybe

i it sounds fine as long as you is whatever you hear is fine it's good with me man let me throw a couple jokes past you if you can hear them and think it's funny yeah then the hurts are good yeah that's a good one i don't know probably some i don't know cooking terms maybe for rachel's birthday i'm getting getting us a chimney sweep getting a full like cleaning out the chimney let's get it ready to go we're gonna be on fire this whole winter and they kind of hit me with uh like when they were telling me everything they're gonna do like it was just like you already got the job so you don't have to tell me any of this. Like, so yeah, just a reminder,

we are going to be there Thursday, 8 a.m. Full scope of all the meaves and the mauves, you know, just like words I've never heard of. Okay, well, that's good. Meeves and mauves. Okay, that's good. We're going to do the lining, both of the back plate and of the front,

if it's brick. Now, do you know, is it stucco, linoleum, vinyl, brick? What's, you know, the interior of my chimney? I don't know. Oh, I haven't stuck my head up there much recently. You're going to have to ask Santa. Yeah. I have no idea.

Because I'd already told her previously in the conversation, I've never used it. Like, I feel like we should have someone come out. We've only been in this house a year. Yeah. We've never, ever used it. And then she thought, he probably knows a lot about it though. Right.

He's an expert as well. He probably knows plenty. He just wants to pay us to do it because he supports local. That is so funny. Like, yeah, just, I don't know. Maybe they just, because they talk about it

every single day of their life. They're inundated. We're like, this is normal. Yeah. Everyone knows the flu is this and that. And I'm like, I think I learned that a little bit, but not much chimney knowledge.

Did you guys have a chimney class at Stratford? We did not. No? We had Leonard Skinner tattoos. That's right. What else did you guys have? You guys have anything else? Like any other wild?

The thing is, is most of the schools in our conference, we'd look at Stratford and be like, they are doing really well. Really? They pay their teachers. Okay. And they don't have a meth problem in high school. For that reason, we were doing pretty good.

You guys were stable. Yeah, we were doing quite a bit better than most of the schools in our area. So it wasn't, I don't know if we had anything super terrible. We had a big scandal my junior year. The teacher? That was something I think I've talked about off the podcast. Scandal is a good word for it. I know, I know. I forgot you knew that. No, this was some of my best friends, actually. They made their own money. It's a federal offense.

And they, yeah, maybe I've talked about it before, but they just photocopied a $20 bill onto green construction paper, glue-sticked the front of it to the back of it, and it worked at McDonald's. That's the best part. That's the strap at McDonald's right there. Like, this is amazing. Whoa, making money different these days.

So, yeah, they did it on like a Friday night. You know, can't believe this worked. Let's make some more Saturday. And I don't think they ever, I think they only went to McDonald's with it. So it wasn't like they went to a casino and used hundreds of that, you know. Obviously, they'll never work at a casino, but still federal offense. Cops show up Monday morning.

I was with, I was sitting across from a guy in accounting class. I still remember it. And he was friends with those guys. And I was like, whoa, there's like six cop cars at Stratford. And he's like, oh oh no I think I might know what this is about but that guy the guy that was he was not involved he just heard them like bragging about it like yeah we we got

free McDonald's I mean obviously as a high schooler you know that's wrong but I don't think you realize how wrong it is I don't think so federal offense yeah that's like terrible you know it's like big time bad prison did they go to prison? They did not.

They got a slap on the wrist. Yeah. So it was like, you know, probably some on their permanent record, but no jail time, no prison time, but no sports their senior year, which in a town like Stratford, big kicker. It's like, oh, no sports. Dang. Did that affect them?

Like, did they go downhill because of it? I don't know. It's kind of personal, but we're not telling. I don't think it was like a massive shift in their lives. I think. Yeah. I don't,

I mean, it's not like any of them now are right. Not alive. Nothing terrible. No, they're all. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. They're doing all right. They got families. Um, wild. Yeah. That was kind of crazy, but I got way more playing time because of it.

So yeah. Yeah. You're like, Oh, that's crazy. All of basketball. So it worked out. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, Oh, that's crazy. All of basketball. You said baseball too. Yeah. Wow. You're in accounting class.

You're like accounts receivable for me. That's great. Yeah. Um, well, I don't know something a little bit, not dress. I was trying to think of a way to segue from what you were doing. I just wrote, I talked about Ukrainian soil earlier. So you're probably good. Speaking of Ukrainian soil. Um, no, I've been kind of weirdly, not sick, sick, but just like

a little congesty. It feels like a lot of Catherine's family was like, no, it's, it's just weird cough. I don't know what's going on. I'm like, you're sick. That's part of it. That's one of the main centers. And so now my kids and I have been struggling off something. Um, it's just the time of year, but, um, something that Catherine, uh, has been giving me, I was gonna say doing for me, um, but prescribing me Catherine's, you know, she's so natural. And for a long time I was like, this is just a bunch of hooey. I don't buy it. Um, and now I'm kind of buying into it. Uh, but something I do and I, I want to hear BD CB. Okay. So we're sponsored.

No, um, swallowing garlic cloves, whole, whole. The first time she, she split it into two and then crushed it up. I was like,

second, I was like, I can just do that. I mean, that's, it sounds like a gumball, right? Uh,

no. Oh, you're thinking of, no, I guess maybe not whole, whole. I think those things that you're thinking of have like three or four in them. Maybe.

Oh, do they really? I think so. Kind of a Russian doll situation. Yeah. I don't know if that's the term is cloves or if, um, hooves. I think maybe. Yes. Yes.

Garlic clove. Garlic bulb is what you're thinking of. I was thinking of bulb. So a clove is a little like a penny dime. Dime. Dime piece. But yeah, she's like, garlic's really good for you. It'll help you with your cold.

And so she has garlic. This is weird, I guess, but garlic soaked in honey. Not bad. Hattie likes it. Just suck on it like it's a Tootsie Roll or something? No, no, no, no, no. She'll just have a spoonful of the honey for

sickness or whatever. Because honey's good for you and garlic's good for you and whatever. So that's her way of ingesting it. But yeah, I just put, I just swallow it whole. And I thought of you because I was like, you don't swallow things very well anyway. You've gotten better, right? Yeah, a little bit. Made some strides. But I don't know how you'd feel about

swallowing some garlic. I don't know if I could clove it i could clove it it sounds it sounds way more like you kind of barely taste the garlic when it's on your tongue but like it's not like you're like chewing up a like it's not super strong yeah it's just going straight to your stomach right like a pill yeah that's fun see i'm a somebody big proponent of zycam you see how the garlic compares with the zycam yeah well and i also like she has zinc which is thing. Like, zinc little drops or something and all that kind of stuff. So, yeah, I don't know. I'm just doing all sorts of stuff. Stay woke out there.

Garlic, guys. Stay woke. Mouth taping still. Yeah. Big mouth tape guy. Do you see we got a little unofficial contract with mouth tape? A little hostage tape. Haven't signed the contract back yet.

Yeah, good work, dude. Yeah, thanks. That's fun. That's fun. I've got a little permission to start a brainstorming session with us. Please. Sure. Now, some of the rights to this, I think the original idea did come from Steve Coop.

I know he's been in a lot of these episodes recently, but he came up with this. We're all sitting around the table playing games one night. Someone, us, needs to make a sitcom called Church. And it's all, I think, mockumentary style. It's like The Office. You take a boring thing and make it really fun.

Someone needs to do it with Church because there's so many specific characters and specific situations you could 100% do within the church theme. I think it'd be so fun. I think you, you know,

like, you have the cheesy youth pastor, right? Or you can even have a whole season dedicated to finding the new youth pastor.

Right. You know, interviewing them all. Like right now, it's like an old, out of touch dad who's volunteering. It's like,

that's sweet of Douglas, but we gotta get someone new in there. Right. You know. He's trying his best. He's trying his best, but he doesn't, you know, his kids are grown. He's stressed out about that slide projector and we're not even using those. We're using pro presenter now. He can't get, he can't, he can't gain the knowledge for that. Yeah. You can have so much. I mean, the head pastor is maybe a Michael Scott role, just not self-aware, but super lovable or something. I know the type.

Yeah, you could... Just any aspect of it. Maybe the church is thinking about going non-denominational and just the whole... The uproar. That would be... That's their version of downsizing. Yeah. It's like there's always talk about... Non-denominational? I don's always talk about non-denominational. I don't, I don't know. I don't know anything about Southern Baptist convention. We're still going. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. There's always like a secret coup in the, you know, with a few people. Yeah. I think just like, I mean, you could do it, you know, I'm picturing like a Southern Baptist church and just like all the, just the nuances that come with it. Just like the drama of like, I didn't get invited to her daughter's, you know, bridal shower. It's like.

She invited everyone else in the group. Yeah. We've, we've been in the same Bible study for years. I think someone like a black couple has started going and everyone is really excited. They're there, but they talk to them. They're almost too excited. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

The way they get spoken to is not great. Right. I think that could be a fun trope. I think some episode, scandal, right? Money goes missing. Because they're passing the plate. It's like, do we still need to pass the plate or do we just need to do online only?

Do we need eyes in the sky to watch them plate we install cameras here all of a sudden yeah you got security yeah walking around the whole time yeah i think you know a big episode you gear for palm sunday christmas episode you know there's the people you only see on christmas and easter they're like tiny little characters in there yeah, the, the local people, local celebrities that, yeah, don't, don't show up much. Yeah.

You know, but they come. That's good. Yeah. There's like the people, like the old people that are just annoyed with the very minor progressive, like, like the way the music,

like they do for him and drum set. And then one song that has like electronic drums in it, like, like a track of drums. They're like, I don't know about this way maker oh it seems pretty new age i don't know i think it'd be so funny yet have a talking head of an old lady talking about that yes like i was okay with amazing grace with the guitar but this is my chains are gone that's fine i've come terms with my chains are gone. But yeah, what is this? Way maker. It's hard to even keep up. I will threaten to go to the Assemblies of God.

I will go across the street. Yes, I will. That's good. Yeah, there's not enough parking in the parking lot. So that becomes an issue. They're not technically handicapped, but they are old, but should we let them park there?

Yeah. They park there and, and no one's really going to like call them out, but like people are talking behind their back about it. Someone, it's like a 16 year old getting a fake ID for something. And like, it's like old people are starting to get fake handicap stickers.

Yeah. I think it's counterfeit. Yeah. I think they have a counterfeit handicap sticker. They used it at McDonald's last night and it was fine. It's proper mcdonald's on park i don't know yeah that was fun yeah that's funny it just seems like there's so much and like yeah i think we know the culture so well it's like oh this would be a blast to write a show church the sitcom there's like there's like a fired up like young generation of people who want to sit in the front of the sanctuary.

They went to Passion. Church funded them to go to Passion. But that is causing all the old people to have to go up the stairs to the balcony and it's hurting their knees. They don't like that. And so there's a big like hoopla about that. Yeah. Maybe once a Sunday they do something different with the music and there's a uproar about that. Maybe maybe paper you know paper hands at a slideshow right give gene a break i think that a women's group meets there like in

the basement you know every tuesday what they do is they gather they pray yeah gossip for an hour pray to end it they're out of there that's what they do every tuesday that's good it's the ladies group time and let us know for for missing. If we need to add on anything to churches to come, I think what about like, there's some wardrobe malfunction with the robes and they get sent like, it's like, it's like the big Christmas cantata musical, like big thing of the year.

They're getting brand new robes, but the robes, the robe company actually accidentally sends them children's robes. And so all these people, their robes are like halfway down their legs. Just kind of tie them up just around their way. It's like a hoodie in the fall. Just tie them up. And like some of the guys like don't realize that and they know that robes can be kind of hot. So they only wear shorts. And so then there's like, just like they have mini skirts. Oh, man. I think it's time for the Christmas pageant. This church is just barely big enough

to do a Christmas pageant. So they want to do one and they have a guy at their church who is Middle Eastern, has a beard, and has long hair. Everyone's like, there's got to be Jesus, but he's a terrible actor. Or he's like not really a Christian. He's like just started visiting the church. Like, should we ask him to be Jesus?

I don't even know if he really gets it. Some kind of debacle tension there. He hasn't done this long enough. Yeah, he just started coming here. He gets Jesus? That's maybe what it is. He just started coming. And the guy who's always been Jesus is now being uprooted. Right. That's pretty funny.

I'm trying to think of... Oh, just the... They changed sloppy wet to unforeseen and people just lose their minds. Yeah, it's a lot of old people losing their minds. Right. That's pretty fun. I know at our church...

Our church is traditional, so this is easy to think of stuff like that. Or it has traditional aspects to it. They play way maker. Yeah. We do all right. But I think our pastor has been there maybe 10 years now or something like that.

And I think it was a big deal one of the first Sundays that he went and spoke with a suit, like a shirt and a suit with no tie. Really? Yeah. I think it was like a ceremonial. Like what happened to Chad? Yeah. He lost it.

Whoa, this guy. I didn't know we were doing a stand-up comedian over here. But it was like a thing. Like, hey, we're not wearing ties anymore. We don't have to wear a tie if you don't want to. He just listed a church clothes by Lecrae. He's like, you know, that spoke to me. Come as you are.

Yes. It doesn't matter. Here I am. And he's still like dressed. I mean, he still looks great. Looks immaculate. He's got tailored suits. Like he looks wonderful, but doesn't have a tie, and people don't like that.

Or maybe even the opposite. The pastor starts dressing too nice, kind of a preacher's and sneaker situation. Yes. How's he getting those shoes? Right. How does the pastor get that car? Yeah. There's a financial crisis at church, but the pastor looks too good.

He's doing just fine. Uh-huh. Yeah. The eye test. Right. Something about taking communion. Maybe there's a wine deb test. Right. Something about taking communion. Maybe there's a wine debacle. Yep.

Maybe. There's a celiac that accidentally takes the non-gluten-free body. Yes, okay. One of the, like the secretary for the church is celiac. So she's big on like, and make sure you tell them, gluten-free is over here, normal is over here. She's big on telling the pastor that. And of course he forgets.

And she's the one who like eats the wrong one or, you know, something like that. And something happens there or she gets exposed that she's not celiac. And she's just a little bit picky. She's just a control freak. She's just a basic white girl. I don't know.

Time. Go ahead. Time. I, I'm, this is fun. It's nice not to... You guys are brainstorming, and I'm enjoying it.

Okay, thank you. What about children's ministry stuff? Let's think about that. Children's ministry. This guy's already been working there for six months, but then they don't want to ask him to do a background check now because then it's obvious that they want to

specifically background check him. It's a to do a background check now because then it's obvious that they want to specifically background check him. It's a company-wide background check thing. We're doing it for everybody because there's a sketchy guy volunteering in there. But it's nice for him to volunteer in there. One kid's poops are just the worst. He has a blowout every day. So you've got to talk to the parents.

So it's like, yeah, it's something with that. And hey, you need to double diaper. You know, kind of like double wrapping a Chipotle. You need to double diaper your kid. Losing it. Or just feed him something. What are you feeding him? Yeah.

Get him on a different meal plan. Yeah, you need to show us your diet right now. Or else not again. Yeah, I don't know. That's pretty fun to think about all the different nuances. Yeah, there's a thousand things you could do. Yeah, that's good. Christians would love it. So Steve thought of that? Yeah, he did. I don't know where that came about. Oh, they're having some like... Drama? Yeah, some church stuff going on. And he's in the middle of it because Steve volunteers and does so much for the church. And so everyone's complaining to him instead of the

pastor. He's just in the middle of it and trying to pass things on. He was so glad he's going to Florida. He's like, I'm tired of dealing with this. Really? Yeah. Going to Florida. But yeah, he's just always trying to do the right thing and just stuck in the middle of some church drama. So he's like, there needs to be a sitcom about church. Right. Because it's real. It's real people that are running the church. Yeah. Honestly, now that I think about it, all these things that... So they have a new pastor coming in.

And normally they do a thing where before the service starts, they have any of the young kids just come to the front and sit on the stairs. Oh, yeah. And one of the women at the church just tells a quick 60-second Bible story. And it's kind of fun. New pastor is trying to get rid of that. Big deal. Big deal. Big deal.

Really? Big deal. Okay. They're also trying to change the service time. It's going to be different by 30 minutes. Big deal. Which I want to talk to this pastor because I'm like, he has to know you come into a small town church full of old, old people. You can't think you can change stuff without a ton of backlash. And maybe he's fine with it. But I would be like, dude, maybe take it one at a time.

You know, just come in and change six things immediately. Yeah. I wonder what the training, if they have training on that. Like, hey, you should establish a little bit of a new identity here. Yeah, maybe. You should at least make a minimum four changes. Even if you like how it is already. Yeah. change stuff.

Church is on Thursday now. You know? Yeah, why not? Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, because I'm sure, I mean, I remember as a worship leader, like, yeah, people just have opinions on everything. Yeah. Oh, we want more hymns.

Can you fix that organ? Well, it's going to cost $80,000 to fix. Well, I think we should fix it. I think that's priority. We would never use that organ in our entire time. You watch Ted Lasso? I watched the first season, so I haven't watched it recently. I would just watch

the first two episodes ever, last night. And he takes suggestions from the team, and he's like, it'd be big or small. One of the guys was like, the water pressure in the showers isn't good. Next day, fixes the water pressure. There's a good life lesson there, good leadership lesson in there.

Faithful little things. That's right. Fix the organ if it's way cheaper. If you would ever use it in your worship style. If it would ever get used. Anyway, that's church, the sitcom. Let us know what else we missed. I feel like ghosties can really think of some fun characters, some fun situations. Anyway, that's Church, the sitcom. Let us know what else we missed. I feel like ghosties can really

think of some fun characters, some fun situations. Oh, totally. So help us write this. And we will. Jean Schwartz. Maybe. Could be fun. Yeah, I think we... Oh, I have something written down. We don't even take

this out. I don't even know if it's worth the idea of a segment. Did you see this? I just been sent this a lot because it's Taylor Swift and it's got the word Brad in it. So I've been sent it 20 times probably. Taylor Swift talking about how many times she's been on TV and everything. She was quoted as saying,

I have no awareness of it being shown or of if I'm being shown too much and making or ticking off a few dads, brads and chads. Yes. This is not like her doing TV appearances. That's talking about the NFL putting her on the broadcast. Yeah. How often she gets put on. Yeah. Whenever the chief's game is on, I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much in making a few brads, dads and chads mad. So I thought maybe we could role play. One of us could be Brad. One of us could be a dad.

One of us could be Chad. Okay. And just getting mad about it. Okay. Does that sound like something we could do? All right. Oh, I was hoping it was Travis Kelsey. I have my fantasy team.

Who is that? Who is that on my TV? Who is that? That's a woman. I watch football and watch boys. That's a girl. That's a girl? That's not a cheerleader either.

I want to know if you're dad, Brad, or Chad. That's a girl. I was waiting for us to establish roles. That's a girl. I don't want her on my TV. Gross. Get her out of here. What's she doing with all that lipstick on?

Yeah. Hey, it's fine, guys. Like, dude, like dad and Brad, just take a chill pill once in a while, right? No. No way. I look at girls when I'm in bed with your mom. I look at guys on Sundays.

The only pills I take are clothes and their garlic. That was me. I'm Brad. I'm Brad. Man, that makes me mad. Ever since she... You know, I liked her when she was stringing teardrops on her guitar, but she's changed. She's changed, man. She's changed.

She's not the same. She's... I think I can take... I can read what she said in that... I can lip sync and I can lip read. Probably wasn't anything good. No, it was not. You know what I'm seeing?

What? It's Sunday afternoon. She's not at church. That's right. And I... Dad. Normally I would go. Dad, you skipped church for this.

Normally I would go. I slept in. And God knows I'd be there if I could. Yeah, he does. He knows your heart. And I don I'd be there if I could. Yeah, he does. He knows your heart. And I don't know about Taylor's heart. Do you know that one time in a music video,

she used a snake? Yes. Demon! You know what else used a snake? The Garden of Eden. Yep, as the devil himself. Get that red devil off my screen! She's wearing red, isn't she? All over her face!

Yep. I would... Okay. Oh, it's done, isn't she? All over her face. Yep. I would. Okay. Oh, it's done. I think she cares that we are mad. Was that awesome? I gave you everything I had. I know.

You did great, man. You did great. Sorry to establish who we were. That was fun. I think I figured it out pretty quick. I was angry Republican dad. Number one. Number one. Every once in a while on our jean shorts videos, people will be like, can we, you guys just switch up the roles once

and Jake be like the manly, you know, whatever rough guy. I think we'd sure could. There you go. Yeah. There's your fill for the year 2025. We'll do it one more time. Yeah. I mean, you were infamous in the mechanics video. Yeah. I can't believe people like that video. So dumb. Oh, man. What do you think the dumbest video you've ever done with either Gene Schwartz or Trey was? Oh, good question.

Trey's done some pretty out there things. Yeah. We did the squirrel video. That one is pretty out there. That was a weird one. What was that one? Squirrels Be Like. Trey dressed up in a giant squirrel costume.

And just ran around the yard? Yeah. And the thing is, back then, the algorithm was good. That probably still got a million views. Really? Right, just fine. Squirrels Be Like. Type it in. See how many views it has.

I bet on Facebook or YouTube, one. I bet it did well. Yeah, that was one of the more ridiculous ones. Squirrels Be Like Trey Kennedy. well yeah that was one of the more ridiculous ones um squirrels be like trey kennedy i'm not finding it either he unlisted it then that's funny really he must have been pretty ashamed of that as well it was a pretty dumb video but well now we gotta see if we can find it somewhere squirrels trey kennedy squirrels be like on t. It's on TikTok? Uh-huh. 86,000 likes on TikTok. Wow, 86,000 likes. It's probably, what, between half a million and a million views?

I'm having a hard time seeing that information. That's okay. Either way. I dragged the puzzle piece. There we go. 86,000 likes. Squirrels be like. I do kind of remember this one.

Where do you see the views on desktop? That's okay. What do you think is the dumbest Dean Shorts video we made? That Santa one was pretty silly. Dude, that captions app worked really well though. I downloaded two different captions apps. One of them is called captions and one of them is called like

vidbu or something like that. And that second one worked terribly the first one did it almost perfectly isaac has used the captions app and told me about it yeah so good to know it was very impressive and it was i mean i just did a free trial but it was impressive i think i recognized the captions i think uh at judah cause who we've looked at before is that what he's using the same one oh that's funny. Follow me for more tips like this. Yeah. Follow me for more tips like this. What is our silliest, dumbest video we've done?

Oh, Greek life versus Greek life was pretty stupid. Yep, that's the winner. Yeah. Greek life versus Greek life. That's what I was like. We should get punny with our Wall Street versus Walmart. Also really random. I think people like that one from what I remember. Yeah, that one.

Because the Greek one was like, we don't know anything about Greek people. We don't look at us. I don't know anything about either. I've never been a part of either Greek life. Yeah, that was probably the worst one. That's great. Yeah. Oh, well. I think a new

one's for the future. My computer died, but I can remember a I'm thinking new ones for the future. My computer died, but I can remember a couple of my favorite comments of the week. Perfect. Yeah, this is a Wednesday episode. One of them, I love the honesty. It was something like, my friend recommended this to me.

He listens to it every day. He won't stop talking about it. I finally checked it out. Not bad. Pretty good podcast. Good banter. Six out of 10. I was like, that was just refreshing.

Everything on the internet feels like you need to be the biggest fan or the biggest hater. And it was just nice. He's just like, you know, decent. But he took the time to comment it, too. And yes, said that publicly, so appreciate you. I also loved anyone who commented they were listening like Christmas morning,

because I didn't think anyone would. And there were a bunch of people, so thank you for that. My, well, I gave time and shine last week. I'll give them shine again. Why not? Shine them. I helped with the church sitcom stuff. Yeah. After all you've done this episode.

Well, Jess Eggleston, who's a childhood friend of mine. Happy New Year, Ghosties. Love the episode this morning. So many great memories. And there's a picture of Tymon, you know, screenshotting, blah, blah, blah. And then my comment of the week is actually from Jake Triplett. Oh, yeah. Who said, that kid is really something else.

And that was both funny and true. The kid is amazing. Young, young boy. I had TJ call me last week. It was basically like, okay, tell me about Tymon. Tell me how how's Tymon work? What do you guys How's he work? Yeah, like does he have

room for more people? Like I kind of want to use it. I was like, I don't know. Call him. See what he says. I was like, Tymon's the man dude. And so Can I ask in the future, you be a little more protective of Tymon? Let's not just be telling people to call him. I told him to call him, but he's ours. I scoped out how much he was doing or how much TJ needed from him.

So, you know, it wouldn't work out. No, I knew it was like, that's nothing for time. Time. We could do that with an AI program like this.

Did he call you? Uh, no, he texted me like a couple hours ago though. Oh, nice. Yeah. Don't text him back.

Um, no, that's fun. Cool. Yeah. Time. And that kid's really something else. Something else.

I also like starting to call him a kid. Hey, that kid? That kid. That whippersnapper. Following foreign tips like this. My win of the week is going to be I Got Lunch with Rustin Dowd. Nice. Kind of recently.

It was nice. Let me try to guess where you went. Give me one hint. It's one of my favorites try to guess where you went. Give me one hint. It's one of my favorites. Oh, Ulchani. No, good guess. One of your favorites. So it's a chain.

Oh, yeah. Chick. No. Chip. No. Keep going down that path. Really? Chili's.

Yeah. Nice. Yeah. I texted him. I was like, well, first of all, I was with Scott when Russ and I were making plans. I was like, hey, getting lunch with Russ tomorrow. We're going to meet up in the middle of somewhere in Olathe. Where should we go?

And Scott's like, ooh, Olathe. There's a really good seafood place in Overland Park. I was like, all right, you're done suggesting lunch because neither of those were the right thing to say. That frustrates me so much. Scott. So I chose the Chili's and Olathe. I texted it to Rustin and he's like, great. Haven't been there

since homecoming. I said, bring a suit and a boutonniere. Let's do it. And then he walked away and he said Chili's, way better than I thought. I went to Chili's the other day with my dad after the KU game, and it was awesome. We got out of there for $24. It's really good food.

Including tip. It was a great time. Good. Win of the week. Let's think here. I guess win of the week is just, I'm excited for 2024, and I'm excited specifically for the ghost runners

vacation. Ghost runners get away to Gulf shores. I think I haven't, I've kind of compartmentalize that out of my mind for the last couple of months and just recently have started planning a little bit more, thinking a little more about it, looking at all the names of the people coming. Yeah.

I'm just pumped. It's just going to be so fun. So I guess my win of the week is just the future. Future memories. I don't know. It's always just so hopeful. I don't know. The beginning of the year is just like we got all this stuff going down.

I don't know. Maybe we'll have another little mini retreat or something. Yeah. It is a really fun time, the beginning of the year. Yeah. It's unique. So win. The beginning of the year. Yeah.
