We're having a lot of weird conversations off the podcast. So I'm like, all right, let's just record these things. Okay, let's start talking about them. You want to talk smudges on screen here or talk huffing? I want to talk about huffing right now. Okay, you didn't grow up terrified of plastic bags? I did not. Have you heard about if you put a plastic bag over your face, you could suffocate?

Well, that seems different than huffing. Well, that's true. No, I'm talking, but that's different. Sorry. Different thing. Well, have you ever heard about drowning? Yeah. I'm worried about water.

You ever heard of huffing? Well, what about a huge body of water? Yeah. No, huffing, I don't know. People just said, don't huff, right? There was just do it. There was got milk. It's like, don't huff.

Yeah, don't drink. Don it's like don't huff don't yeah don't drink don't smoke don't huff so were you told like don't huff paint or you just like don't even be careful inhaling dude i didn't look i never breathed too hard just in general just in case i was actually huffing i just i was always like i, you know, like, like those paper bags and stuff. I don't know. I didn't know if that was like, I didn't know what constituted huffing. So I did never want to even get, I didn't, I didn't even want to be like, you know, close to the huffing line. Yeah.

I don't know. I will say the breathing out of the plastic bag to like get your breath back to escape a panic attack. Never made sense to me. And I think that's more suffocating yeah yeah and i think it was usually paper paper bag sorry yes that's what i mean to say but still the idea of like you have all of god's green earth but let's let's narrow it down to just only what's inside of this paper bag breathe through that yeah that'll calm you down see i

thought that was like gonna get you high and now i'm talking out loud i know that i'm wrong but like i think that's what I thought was like, don't do that. You'll be careful. There's some, there's some chemicals in that paper, paper, plastic,

plastic, but don't put it over my head. Oh, I, I think this type means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat to Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet. Cause it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast.

Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. That's really funny. Yeah, I mean, you see people probably all the time who are like nervous for their audition. And you're like, why are they getting high right before they have to go?

Gosh, all these stoners. Yeah, I don't know. I've also never seen somebody do it in real life. Have you ever seen somebody do that in real life? I saw it one time and it was before the second round of our American Idol audition. Really? So we walk in there in our big

old fruit costumes. This is when we get down to the top 200. So it's like they really narrowed down from 15,000 to 200 and a girl is sitting on the outside of the door to go in just and we're just kind of like it's okay. Walking in our big

apple and grape costume. I'm sure it's fine. And this was the idea. I'm sure I've talked to us before. At some point we walk into the room and they go, oh, we already heard about you guys. You guys are good to go. And we're like,

well, this girl's freaking out. So we need to stay in here a little bit longer. So she doesn't know. We just got passed to the next round. Cause this is the biggest day of her life. No, that was easy.

You like walk out like, man, those guys are easy. Hey, stop freaking out. They don't even have you audition. They'll just look at you. So it's more about how you look.

Do you want to put this on? That made it so easy for us. Be careful when it's over your head. Have you heard the story of the American Idol? I have not. Ooh, that'll be fun. Tymon's going to learn about us through the podcast because he's listening back. Yeah, I'm sure at some point. I mean, it's probably episode 110, though.

You think? I mean, it's got to come in the first two years, but I don't know when. It was during the mission house. Wow, you remember it specifically. Oh, yeah. Wow, good job. You can't see it in your head when you talked about it? Some ones I can, but not that one. Maybe it's more stuff that you've talked about than stuff I've talked.

I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I can envision when you gave the oral history of the American Idol. All right, timing. I'm not going to tell you timing. I don't know. Yeah, maybe I can. I can envision when you like gave the oral history of the American Idol. All right, timing. So you'll figure it. I'm not gonna tell you time. I'll get there. Yeah. Buckle up. There's a girl with paper bag. Do you know what American Idol is? Yes. Okay. That's one of those things that was like a phenomenon when we were in kids. Yes. Huge deal. And like Rachel, not even that much younger than us, but she like almost missed the whole American Idol era. I think luckily when she was at the end of

American Idol's heyday, there was an Iowa girl who was really popular. So I think that got them into it. But yeah, it was such an awesome thing for a while. It was. Especially that first week. That first week was electric. Simon got to do his thing.

Simon got to do his thing. You got to do his thing you got to see the crazy weirdos out there doing you know fruit costumes big william hunk fan why is everybody always asking that who is that now we're doing references on references right now um yeah but like oh man like that and it was like every night for a week or whatever maybe it was two weeks or something every other night it was awesome i was like it was two weeks or something like that. Every other night. It was awesome. I was like, we're going to Orlando tomorrow. It's like, oh, I bet that's going to be wild, you know? And they give you like previews of it and stuff. And I would love to see a good American Idol spoof

because someone could do a really good job. Yeah. Like we went from the sunny beaches to the storm clouds of sorrow. Remember that? Like that's their theme song? Yeah, it was. Yeah, that was good.

Also really put Simon on the map. Who was he before American Idol? Yeah, nobody. As far as I know. I mean, nobody in America, at least. Nobody here. And at the time, as like, you know, whatever, middle school, high schooler, I was like, Simon, what is his deal?

How did he get here? I mean, I hate this guy. And now it's like, oh, that's hilarious what he was doing. I mean, he was just clearly playing a character. He was just so mean to people. It's so funny now. They had it down really well. Like the three different characters, you know, Paula was always going to be nice. She was always the sweetheart. And then you had Simon who was just on the opposite end. And then you had Randy, who was a wild card. Yeah, sometimes he would randomly, he would hate someone that I loved. Yeah.

Like, big dog. That's a no for me, dog. That's a no for me, dog. It's like, oh, man, come on, dog. I'm like watching my screen as like a fifth grader, like, come on, dog! Come on, Randy, dog! Root! Come on! Root! Root! American Idol was awesome.

A lot of nostalgia wrapped up there. I'm glad you know what it is, Tymon. Yeah. Because we are going to play a game later today. It's going to test Tymon's knowledge. And you're not... Okay. Frick, let's play it now.

Let's do it now. No time like the present, brother. Okay, so this comes... Ah! Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da. Ah! All right. This comes from my friend Reed Towns. You know Reed?

I know of him. Awesome guy. Watermark. Yeah. That's all I got. And Kenneka guy. He loves watermarks. He puts them on his Instagram picture. Yeah, he does not want someone to steal his content,

so he's always putting watermarks on. We know Getty Images didn't take that, Reed. It's taken on an iPhone outside of church. Stop watermarking it. Um, yeah. Reed's awesome. Good friend of mine. Uh, the time I filmed with dude, perfect. Reed was there. Reed was kind of the one who hooked it up. Is he, did he work with you at camp? He was a K one programs guy. So he worked with Peter. Okay. So how'd you connect with them? I don't know. He's doing enough. You know, you do programs enough and you just meet everybody. Right. Leadership weekend,

you know, I met him initially. Anyway. So he said, Hey Jake, I got a game for you to use on your pod. Big time listener lately have been loving it. Thanks for what you're doing.

Glad to see things are well, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Et cetera, et cetera. Pander,

pander, pander. He said, this is a great way to test out Gen Z students here. The game is just guess the brand based on the commercial jingle. We think that Gen Z doesn't watch as many commercials as millennials did. My prediction is that Brad could get all of these correct, maybe miss one, but Tymon will maybe only get one right.

Okay. Is his guess. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of my prowess, my marketing prowess. So I feel like I could get, I should be able to get all these. If I don't, Chick-fil-A on me tonight, boys.

Tonight? Tonight. Alright, boys. If I don't, Chick-fil-A on me. Crikey. Take a couple blokes down to Chick-fil-A. What do you say, huh? Bonzo.

All right. Speaking of Australia. Yeah. Let's put a little bookmark on that for a learner. Put a little. Yeah, I was trying to think about it. Let's put a shrimp on the bookmark, eh? Put a little shrimp mark in it.

A little watermark. I want to get at least two. Okay. Tymon's goal is two. Out of how many? Brad's goal is perfection. One, two, three, four, five. Probably like ten. Tymon, you can do at least two. Okay. Tymon's goal is two. Out of how many? Brad's goal is perfection. One, two, three, four, five, probably like ten. Tymon, you can do more than two.

Okay. Well, he just said one. So if I can get at least two, then I'm happy. I think two is a good number to shoot for. I tested out a few of these while brushing my teeth. I would try to like click on it and not look. And you're going to be just fine, Millennial. Okay.

Very curious how Tymon's going to do. I'm going to start off with an easy one. All right. And I think Tymon, you should guess first because of time and doesn't okay yeah oh no this is the easy one I don't think I've heard this right this okay okay not easy for time and then there's gonna be another one that's easy. This one's in my algorithm 10 times a day. Okay, then I'll pay attention to music, I guess. No, no, no.

It's not in your algorithm 10 times a day. It's the Home Depot beat. Yes, it is. Home Depot. How doers get more done, timing. Nice. All right, another easy one. Just like the last one.

Oh, come on. That's very familiar. Okay, yeah. I think. Catchy jingle. That one scared me for a second. The first couple notes are strange. Like, I don't know if that's like the actual jingle or if that's like the tune of the jingle.

You know what I mean? I will say re-spelled strange. Like, I don't know if that's like the actual jingle or if that's like the tune of the jingle. You know what I mean? I will say Reed spelled it. Oh, wait. I would just spell this. I will say he spelled it A-P-L-L. Which, that was good. Do you know what time it is? I don't know.

Well, let's give him the beginning of the phrase and maybe he would know. Best part. Nailed it. That was good. Of waking up. It's I've seen it at least once in my life.

Is blank, blank. I don't know. Or just one blank, two syllables. Blank, two syllables. In your cup. Is it Folgers? Yes.

Okay. Spelled F-U-L. So maybe not the official jingle. Yikes. Folgers. Folgers. That guy's full of jurors. Doesn't count for timing, right?

No. Okay. Doesn't count. All right. This one is possible timing. You've heard it more than once in your life. All about Jake's prefacing these things. I went from it's easy to now this.

Okay, now I'm learning a little bit. This one's possible. You're going to get the hard ones and not the easy ones probably. Nationwide. All right. All right. Tymon's got one. Tymon's got one.

I know that from watching TV in Branson as a kid. Nice. I never had one growing up i was like that's the branson um the branson insurance company what is it called so tyman's like extremely like he's not just gen z he like didn't watch much growing up yeah he's playing this on very hard gen z yeah yeah but hey got one oh oh oh oh o'reilly auto part oh i think brad maybe didn't have it you got it though awesome is that what that was yeah play it again there's like parts of the beginning that are noticeable Yeah. It's like they added some extra xylophone beats there.

Yeah, there's more beats than that. I think I have to psych myself up that this is not the original audio. Does that make sense? Yeah, this is a guy on a xylophone or a keyboard or something. Yeah, they're just like the tune of O'Reilly Auto Parts. Yeah, this is early Raz your cell phone, you know. What were those called? Those types of eight-tone, eight-bit?

Ringtone. Ringtone things. All right. I've already gotten two. So I'm pretty happy about that. Told you, shame higher, man. Aim higher in your life, man. Okay.

This one, great one. Love it. Jake's always just catchy huh yeah but it just sounds like a fun kid's. Not necessarily a jingle that I've heard. I don't think I know this one. Play it again. Okay.

Because I don't either. I don't know. All right. A couple hints. From the commercials I can picture, this is right, a couple hints. From the commercials I can picture, this is a mother-like figure using this product on a child-like figure. Huggies? Good guess.

Maybe adjacent to Huggies. First couple lines are... It sounds like a kid's food jingle. It's not food. Is it sunscreen? Sun sunscreen's warmer okay first two ish words that i think are i i am stuck i am stuck right next to my motherly figure and i want this is grand flag. She's a grand old mom. She's, uh,

can I tell you? No, no, no. Keep, keep, keep. All right.

The very, I am stuck. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,

on me. I don't think I've heard this. What? Something doesn't stick on me. Yeah. Or something. Yeah. I don't even know the words exactly,

but it's something like that. And it's with, it's stuck it's with sticking okay okay okay spooked sticking both of them were tall guys the mouse spooked the horse shoe germs don't stick on me warmer bugs don't stick on me colder there nice oh really okay from the from the top row so what is what's isn't that jingle i mean i should look it up now so don't sound like an idiot i would never have known band-aid has a jingle me neither i've never really i don't think i've seen a band-aid ad ever yeah i don't think they need them yeah i know they're like you call band-aids band-aids It's like Kleenex I am stuck on band-aid brand

Because band-aid's stuck on me Nice I feel like I've heard that now that you say it Band-aid's stuck on me Gosh dang it Bugs? That's a fun one Bugs aren't stuck on me. Bugs? That's a fun one. I thought it was bugs aren't stuck on me.

Mm-mm-mm-mm. Alright. Okay. Okay. Is that Kit Kat? Nice! Football cream. Good job. This one? You gotta stop prefacing. Is that Kit Kat? Nice. Very good. Football cream. Sweet. Yes. Good job.

This one, you know, you gotta stop prefacing. No, I like the preface. This one, very familiar with the product, had no idea they had a jingle. Maybe it's the band-aid equivalent for me.

Okay. Good luck. That's, that's catchy. But I don't know if I... That's catchy. But I don't know if I... That's gold, Jerry. One more time. It's a food. It's a food? Yeah.

How do you know that? I don't know. You can just tell. I'm learning how Band-Aids sound like a kid's thing. A jingle tastes good. The Band-Aid one sounded like a kid's thing. I'm not saying Band-Aids are a kid's thing. That one sounded like a kid's thing, too.

That was kind of a warm feeling. But now I'm wondering, I mean, some of them have been more just the instrumental to not necessarily the exact melody. So I'm trying to think what would go with that. I know, dude. The instrumental thing threw more just the instrumental to not necessarily the exact melody. So I'm trying to think like, I know that threw me off. I'm not going to I'm not going to lie. Take it up with Watermark. Yeah, exactly. Water leave up to Watermark to do things that are like, you know, licensable, you know, generic. It is a food and it is for kids and it is not warm hmm nest quick uh some kind of cereal boom really fruit loops no cheerios no uh it's for kids lucky charms bang okay i'm in well done

lucky charms jingle who's heard of that? Not me. Not me. Yeah. It's tough. All right, next one. Yeah, I got this one. You got this one, yeah. I don't.

Yeah. What would you say? What would you do for a Klondike bar? Oh. Klondike bar was a very confusing product. How did they have all this money to do all these commercials? They were cranking out commercials back in the day. I never saw somebody eat a Klondike bar.

Oh, I've had many a Klondike bar. You had many a Klondike bar? Yeah. I didn't even think you would know what this was. I didn't know they were still making them. Never heard the jingle, but I definitely had Klondike bars. Dude, that's crazy that he's had multiple Klondike bars, but has never heard the song. How do you get one without the what? That's crazy that he's had multiple Klondike bars but has never heard the song.

How do you get one without the other? That's so crazy. I've never seen him advertised, but yeah, I have had, like, I mean, I've had him on many occasions. Well, there's people that are Klondike loyal, and so they're just, that's what they have. The family only gets Klondike.

We're a Klondike family. Klondike everything, though. Not just chocolate bars, just like Klondike. We're a Klondike family. Klondike everything, though. Not just chocolate bars. Just like Klondike groceries of every kind. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that'd be like, I don't know. Like, you go to a Lakers game, you haven't heard of LeBron James. It's like, how did you get here without knowing that?

How do you wear Nike shoes without, you've never heard of. He's a big basketball fan. I don't know. You've never heard of Just Do It, but decked out head to toe in Nike gear. That is interesting. I mean, but then again. I don't know. You've never heard of Just Do It, but decked out head-to-toe in Nike gear. That is interesting. I mean, but then again, I don't know. You go to the store, you get educated pretty quick. You're in the ice cream aisle.

You look at one of those things, you can understand what they are without the jingle. But yeah, I don't... Man, that's wild. This is one of those classic things. We could go on a tangent. Maybe we should go on a tangent about this real quick. Things that you felt like only rich rich people did ovaltine yeah like stuff like that as a kid like whoa that family's rich they have blank that was one of them for me was for whatever reason i

didn't i think it was just because no one had them you're like it must be for the one therefore it was exclusive so it's like whoa that family's doing pretty well. It's like the family that uses, that has, uh, Lunchables and Uncrustables. Yes. Name brand. Yes. My mom always made my own Lunchables. She's like, you want Lunchables? That's fine. I'll give you some crackers and pepperoni and cheese. Like, yeah, it's not the same, but it's probably better processed. Yeah. Yeah. Or like, uh, the Schwann's truck. I was about to say the Schwann's truck. Yeah. Cause Alex Pintola, the same, but it's probably better. It doesn't taste as processed, mom. Yeah. Yeah, or like... The Schwan's truck? I was about to say the Schwan's truck. Really?

Yeah. Because Alex Pintola, the only Schwan'sian in my life. I was like, that is wild. Because obviously we didn't have the Schwan's truck in Stratford, but when I would go to my grandparents' house, it seemed like some of the nice houses in their neighborhood had this truck with food just dropping off. And I was like, that must be a luxury.

Yeah. I don't even understand that really. What about... The original DoorDash. What about the refrigerators that had the water and ice? Was that ever a thing? Oh, yeah. Shoot, what's the commandment? I coveted that.

Oh, yeah. Don't murder. You're like, man, it would be so awesome if the ice was just right there. Yeah, that did look cool. Any type of like just at home, like sporting good, like, I don't know, if you had like a net to hit a baseball into or something. Dude, let's talk about, sorry, go ahead. There was that machine where you could, or not a machine, but it's that net where you could throw the ball into it

and then it would give you a grounder back. Oh, like a backstop? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had one of those yeah that wasn't super rich i guess okay but let's talk about what's super rich super rich jake sporting good there's there's basketball hoops out there right oh oh but the gorillas yeah if you had a basketball goal it implanted into your like driveway cemented in that had a basketball goal implanted into your driveway. Cemented in. That had a clear backboard.

Plexiglass. Yeah. Adjustable and easily adjustable. Oh, yeah. My kid sister could adjust that. Yeah. Oh, that was a dream to easily be able to knock it down to seven feet so I could donk or something. Right.

Rather than the thing or the... I had to always get a broom and maneuver it. And you would move it up two inches and then you would have to move the broom and it would just fall four feet. Boom! Like, I guess that's not hurting. Yeah, I don't know.

You just have to, yeah, totally. What else? And then when you put it back up, it was like, I swear it went higher than what, it's above 10 feet now. Why did it make it go above 10 feet? That, there's no way that's how high it's this is making me worse yeah right it's i would be making more shots if i weren't practicing

on 10 foot 6 at home uh uh gushers as far as snacks go that seemed like the bell of the ball really at gushers you were doing all right what about like just like kids who got a new backpack every year did you ever see that or i don't know if I noticed that as much. Like I, I think I got one backpack for elementary school, maybe, maybe one for middle school, one for high school. I don't know if my parents went wild like that, but yeah, it was like it and I was fine with it, but like, man, there were some nice backpacks out there. Cool. Let's talk baseball bats. Okay. Those I was very jealous jealous i never even had one yeah i've never had a share yeah i was always a man easton tpx d marini yeah yeah any of the stealth stealth composite yeah so nice cell phones back in it was like whoa they got a razor at 16 years old yeah yeah

took a lot of build up to that one oh no blackberry was the thing i was very jealous of those yeah were rich people things um GameCubes. Very few people had GameCubes in Stratford. Finnish Basements. Finnish Basements was a big one. We have a GameCube, actually. It's the only gaming console we have. Is it really?

I think someone from our church gave it to us because they didn't use it anymore. Klondike's in GameCube. Just like an ancient thing. Doing just fine, Brandon. Still was pretty nice. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Things that clearly made people rich, I didn't recognize, I don't think. And other things, I was like, whoa, we could never. Growing up, we got a van when I was five years old. And so it was a nice van at the time, but vans just really got tricked out when I was 10 years old. And so my van only had one sliding door on it. Oh, 100%. Yeah. And so I thought it was unbelievable when a van had doors on both sides.

It's crazy that they didn't make a door on each side. You get one sliding door, but it is mechanical. It'll go on its own. No, mine didn't even go on its own. Really? No. Yeah. That was a big upgrade when you got to press the sliding door, but it is like mechanical. It'll go on its own. No, mine didn't even go on its own. Really? No. Yeah.

That was a big upgrade when you got to press the button. Yeah. That was pretty cool. Cable. I didn't have, like I thought, I don't know if I thought

that was a rich person thing, but I thought like we were not as good as people because we didn't have it. We'll never get that. Yeah. It was a fun day when we got DirecTV.

Maybe I didn't think it was a rich person thing because I was like, I just can't afford that. And I didn't think we was a rich person thing because I was like, I just can't afford that. I didn't think we were poor growing up. Running water. I remember not having that for a while. That was rough. That must be nice. Got the well water going.

Yeah. Heat in the winter. Good tangent. Anyway, Klondike bars. Klondikes. We got a few more left. That's a new one. Yeah. I think.

Your hint is the Super Bowl. That'll help me out. How many Super Bowls do you think you've watched in your lifetime? Half of two, probably. Okay. That's one. That's what I have. I think is what you call that.

Yeah. I've only watched four quarters. So whatever that is. Yeah. If you don't know it, you don't know it. This one's so obscure. Play it one more time. Okay.

Okay. What if I... Can I get a hint? What if I do this? I'll do it my own way. Okay. Is this a bad idea? No.

Okay. Didn't help me at all. Three words. Last word is Mexico. Avocados from Mexico. There you go. I didn't get it, but like... Yeah.

All right, I think there's two more left if you guys get these well I was gonna give you a lot of money you might get this one the next one

you're gonna get a lot of money if you get it this one's a little different well I was shopping for a new car which one's me a cool convertible or an SUV

too bad I didn't know my credit was whack cause now I'm driving off the lot in a used car. You so call Pat Jensen. That spells free. I'll do it all day. It was nice of them to throw the words in there. All right, this one. $1,000 piece if you get it. Cool.

Peace. I owe Jake a million. That's it? You got to stop playing that. There's a little boy falling down the hill yeah try to find what the words would be boy falling down the hill yeah yeah bugs are stuck on me it's like it's a hiking shoe company and you won't slip if you have them yeah i want to know what the actual instrumental of it sounds like. Because that's just like... Is this like from a video of a guy that goes around on the different instruments?

Is this the Six Flags guy? I really want that $1,000. I know, me too. It's crazy. This must mean we're not rich because we want $1,000. I know, me too. It's crazy. Like, that must mean we're not rich because we want $1,000. Yeah. I will not go quietly into the night. Yeah.

I will not go quietly into the night. It's an air horn, night-night air horn. I will go loudly into the night. This, I'm guessing, maybe the 50 and older crowd might know this. Spam. Now, I don't think this is a commercial. Like, I do remember seeing these commercials,

and it would have been when I was a kid at home during the daytime, like between Andy Griffith episodes. The pins underwear. Close. It's a product, I think, targeted to older folks. Geriatric. Like, yeah, 50 and older maybe.

50 and older. Didn't know they had a jingle whatsoever. Menopause. Just the condition. You will not really like the hot flushes. Okay, 50 and older timing. 50 and older. It's a consumable.

Oh. Some and older. It's a consumable. Oh. Some kind of... Consumable for 50 and older. I mean, Kleenexes, like sensitive noses. What's the stuff that dissolves in water? Oh. How is timing so good at this? Nice.

They're like Tums, but not Tums. not? No, what's it called? Wait, wait Baking soda is like it's like plop fizz is kind of like their thing. I Don't know how to seltzer. There you go. That's what it is Alka seltzer, man. We could figure that out Rich man, that was a tough one. I don't know where it gets used, but that's

what Reed sent over. So, hey, thanks for the game, Reed. I always

It's the only one we celebrate is wedding. You guys just do wedding. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, we celebrate with our kids birth anniversaries of theirs. We call them birthdays. Oh. I bet the kids love that.

They do, man. We get them birthdays. Oh, I bet the kids love that. They do, man. We get them presents. Yeah, 10 years. Pretty wild. Didn't even know ya. Yeah, didn't. Didn't even know ya. Didn't even know ya, sweetheart. Couldn't even pick ya out of a lineup, Jakey.

You were my Alcocets to the commercial jingles. Didn't know ya. How old? Let's see, you're 18?les. Didn't know you. Didn't even know you. Tymon, how old? Let's see, you're 18? 17. So you would have been seven years old, I think, if I do my math right, when I got married. Yeah.

Can you imagine? Can you imagine if I was seven years old? Can you imagine that? Can you imagine a seven-year-old Tymon? Wow. You were bagging does, and Tymon was... I was hunting before I was even uh what before i even knew how to shoot a gun true true tywin was what was time coming around on addition subtraction

you you said hey when you learn matrimony bucko yeah good job doing that yeah call me back when you can learn one plus one equals one flesh. Yeah. All right. You understand me? That's good marriage math. That's that. Should I start making signs that say that I can give into them as wedding gifts? One plus one equals one. And then just have their name and established 2024 underneath. Those would sell really well in 2014 for people much older than us. Dude, there's still a market out there. Yeah. People are always going to like that stuff.

I think your mom would buy one. I think, what I would love to see is just like an Instagram series from you in one of your voices, in one of your characters. Okay. Where you're going, maybe this is the spicy character.

Hey! Hey! I just realized something you know what i just realized yeah math ain't mathin say dumb basic phrases like that math ain't math math ain't mathin you get two people yeah how do you end up with one flesh what that's that doesn't make any sense it seems like it should be too fun still. That's what I would like. Forget the wooden sign.

Math ain't mathin'. Math ain't mathin'. I like that. That's a good little tagline. Math just ain't mathin'. That's, you know, well, the math ain't mathin' today. I'm sorry, guys. The math ain't mathin'.

There's this guy. I don't even know if I should. It's fine. I'm sorry, guys. The math ain't math. There's this guy. I don't even know if I should. It's fine. I can talk about him. He says bad words in his videos, so don't watch him if you haven't heard bad words. Crocodile doesn't do that. His big thing that he says to start

every video, and I've seen a few different accounts like this, but he'll basically always do stitches of videos. It's like you show somebody else's video for the boomers out there, show somebody else's video for like 10 seconds. And then you do your comment react to it. And so it's all these like videos of like, I can't believe I had no idea that you could do this with this or that this water bottle could, you know, actually bought has a bottle open on the bottom. Who knew that, you know, whatever stuff like that. And this guy, he's like this Midwestern guy. I don't know, but every single time it, it's so funny because I watched like five of them in a row and eventually

it just made me laugh so hard. He would just come on there. He's like, his hair's all crazy. And he just goes, what? No way. For whatever reason, after you see that five different times about different things that people are doing, like, what? It's the same reaction every day. No way. Yeah. And then he says some other words that aren't very kind, but that is really funny. And then he goes and tries it. He goes and, like, tries

to do it himself to see if it really works. Oh, okay. That's cool. Yeah, so there's, like, the one that really got me, like, interested is, like, this guy would this guy put duct tape on a car door and was able to like take the duct tape and like pull down the car sorry car window and pull down the car window like basically like oh get into somebody's car with duct tape interesting what no way and then he tried it, it didn't work. And he's like, that's a sham. But it's just a funny thing to just... Myth busted. What? No way. That's how it starts.

You've got like a piece of paper next to you and it says one plus one equals one. Yeah. What? What? No way. No way. And you put it down. That's what I thought too. And change your voice. Yeah. Yep. Yep. I used to think that was pretty crazy. Open your Bible. Yeah. That's right. 1 Corinthians 15.

Yeah. That's good. Anyway, that's fun. Yeah. It was a good time. Oh yeah. Marriage. That's how we got talking about this. Yeah. Melting pot. How was it? Yeah, it was good. So we actually went and stayed, we had a little staycation. Have you heard that term before? I have had it and done it. So Tymon, have you heard of it? I have. So it's when you go to the Econo Lodge. No, I'm just kidding. No, we went, we stayed at a hotel

downtown, Hotel Kansas City. It was fun. It was sweet, really nice place, really uncomfortable beds, which is just, I don't know. I don't know if I'm getting more picky about my beds or if this one was just really bad. Also the first night we went to Lydia's for dinner. Have you ever been there? Yes. Rachel went there last week for her birthday. Yes, that's right. Loved it. Have you been there? Yes, I think so. If it's a place I'm thinking of. They have, they, they, they give you all different kinds of options for dessert. And I got an affogato. Ever heard of it? Oh, yes.

I've seen it spelled. I don't know if I've consumed it. It's a shot of espresso with ice cream, a scoop of ice cream. Yeah, that sounds good. Unbelievable. Yeah, that's at night? Yeah, so maybe that contributed to the fact that I had a hard time sleeping that night. But I don't know. It was unbelievable.

Anyway. Beds seem hard to mess up. That's a bummer. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I, it was, it was unbelievable. Anyway, that seemed hard, hard to mess up. That's a bummer. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It was just like the pillows were, were like big,

but then you put your head into them and it's like, yeah, you're like noise canceling headphones or something. I don't know what's going on here. Yeah. It's barely a pillow. Um, yeah,

I don't know if I know you're going all over the place. Hotel wise. Have you struggled with any hotels? I know you sleep so easily. Yeah. I guess I haven't really noticed that. I feel like hotels are, it's like pizza.

It's like, yeah, it's, it's good. It's good. I'm not going to tell anyone about this. Yeah. It just seems hard to mess up.

It's like, yeah, pizza's all generically pretty similar. It's good. Right. And I like it. That's how beds seem to me too. Yeah.

It's like, yeah, it's good. Yeah. But yeah, if you get a bad one, it's like, how can they not figure this out?

Especially like this was like a nicer hotel. Like this seems like I should be sleeping amazing. And then my kids aren't around. Like this is awesome. But no, it was a fun time. We kind of had like the intention of like, so we're going to stay two nights at this hotel. And so just to make it a little more of like a true,

like that day, like we had a full day without the kids at all. And so it was like a true like that that day like we had a full day without the kids at all and so it was like a true like vacation feel um and since we got married in january we always kind of take that time to like celebrate our anniversary but also reflect on the year goal plan for the year and so katherine was more into it this year than i've ever seen her goal wise interesting which is really cool um and, and yeah, she, she attributed it to me, which was a nice compliment. She's like, Oh, right. She's like, you love this stuff. And so I finally think I've kind of caught on coming around. Yeah. But it's

cool. So we like, we made goals for the kids. We made goals for ourselves. We, um, yeah, we talked about, I don't know, all sorts of different things. And, um, it was, it was really fun. So nothing crazy that happened. Melting pot. So good. And, um, it was, it was really fun. So nothing crazy that happened. Melting pot. So good. I, yeah, there's just something about it. There's just something about it. Um, I don't know that the, the waitress that we had. So we've kind of, we've gone to melting pot now, however many years, I don't know if it's all 10, but a lot of years. And so I figured out the things I really like. Yeah. Cause you know, they, they have four courses. They got cheese, salad, meat, chocolate. And so for the cheese, I know, I love the, these little pretzel bread bites that they give you. Sounds awesome. That you

dip in the cheese. They, they give you all sorts of different things. Apples, carrots, broccoli, surprisingly, daddy likes the bread. Um, and so I asked her, I was like, apples, carrots, broccoli. Surprisingly, daddy likes the bread. And so I asked her, I was like, hey, can you please bring me some extra pretzel bread? So I knew that's free of charge. No problem. This woman brought me the whole pretzel far. Oh, really? I mean, just so much pretzel bread. That's awesome. And of course it was awesome. But Catherine was like, Brad, she just knew me 10 years of marriage. She's like, Brad, you don't have to eat all those pretzel bread. Just because they're there doesn't mean

you have to eat them. And we got pretty close, but then we did the same thing for dessert. I always ask for extra bananas and strawberries. Good to make up for it. Yeah. Yeah, truly. I mean, because they have all sorts of different things for dessert too, rice krispies and brownies and stuff like that. You dip in the chocolate. I love the bananas and the strawberries. Dang, what a meal. And so this woman, I think she cut You dip in the chocolate. I love the bananas and the strawberries. Dang, what a meal. And so this woman, I think she cut up eight bananas for me. I mean, she earned her tip.

The whole farm. Yeah, it was wild. Whenever I like, usually I'm going crazy on like bread or carbs or something, Rachel will be like, hey, don't Senzettis yourself. Because the very first time I went to Senzettis, my stomach was expanding and I thought I was

going to have to go to the hospital. It was like, I've never felt this way before. I had to just bend over. It's the only time it's ever happened. I've never done it again, but yeah, that's her words. Don't Sinzetti's yourself. You've got to chill out. It's usually something buttery

and carby and it's awesome. Dude, I think maybe we've already talked about this. Eh, it doesn't matter. I think I might be like allergic to alcohol now or something. Oh, yeah. I don't know what's going on. And maybe there's a million factors to it besides this. But, you know, I had that weird stomach thing in Hawaii.

And then I think I've had it this past week as well. It's getting better, but it came on, um, after the new year's party at Trey's and it came on like at the beginning of Hawaii, after I had flown into plane and gotten a few free mixed drinks for being a list preferred or whatever on Southwest. Have you been bitten by a tick lately? I have not. No, who knows? Maybe I don't check everywhere, you know? Um, but yeah, I don't know. I just,. No, who knows? Maybe. I don't check everywhere, you know? But yeah, I don't know. I just,

and so I'm like, I think I might just not drink any more alcohol if this is what it is. And if you don't know, like, because it's not like someone's like,

oh man, I feel bad the next day. Okay, I probably should. Because I wasn't over like excessively drinking anything. But like, it's like hurt my stomach wasn't over excessively drinking anything. But it's hurt my stomach for five days, both times.

Big consequence. It's too much for something so not fun. It's not good enough. Dang. It would be kind of wild if you just developed an adult onset alcohol allergy. I don't know. Can that even happen? Yeah, I don't know. Can that even happen? Yeah.

I don't know. I looked it up. There's something called gastritis. I don't think it's only alcohol, but I think like, I think that's a main thing that like, it's like your liver or I don't know, something doctors out there.

Let me know. Doctors do your thing. Do your thing. So anyway, I don't know. It's just some weird, weird stomach stuff, but then I eat, you know, 15 pret. Anyway, I don't know. It's just some weird stomach stuff. But then I eat 15 pretzels and I'm just fine.

Body's used to that. Yeah. That's the good stuff. But yeah, anniversary was fun. We went to a few fancy restaurants and got some time to ourselves as well, which was interesting. Catherine's like, I would love to just have like four hours by myself. Oh, yeah.

That's great. Because she's like, you do that all the time. She's like, but I really would like that. So I went to messenger. I walked to messenger and she just hung out at the hotel. So I, then I saw Zane Callister at messenger. Oh yeah. So fun. And he's like, he's like, dude, how you doing? I was like, we're celebrating our 10 year anniversary. And I'm sure he's thinking in his head, okay, where's your wife? They're not doing too well. He's such a fun guy. It was a fun time.

That's a blast. I figured out a lot of things right now, a lot of things I want to talk about. Let's talk fitness first. I want to check in on timing. We talked about it last week. The Strava app. Ghosty's been awesome.

So many people running a mile every day. We're recording this on January 10th. I'm 10 days in. I ran this morning. 10 days. 10 for 10. 10 for 10. Rachel's been in Florida.

She's 10 for 10. Tymon, where are you at? I'm 9 for 10, but just because I have not run yet today. Oh, no way. Really? Yeah. Okay. Have not missed a day.

How's it? How's it feeling for you guys? Uh, okay. Let's see. I read somewhere. I think a ghost even posted this, that it takes like 18 days to form a habit. Okay. I feel like after six, I was like, oh, I'm not missing a day now.

Like it felt ingrained into my daily schedule. Only took six days. Okay. I don't think this is the case for me yet. Cause it's been varying in like when I do it in the day um but i think i want to start doing it every single morning then i think that'll happen but as far as like the difficulty of the running it's no problem yeah but also i have been going way slower recently dude that's why i was just telling brad it's awesome it's so nice it's like it's awesome it's just the chillest experience because

it's like i mean you feel good because you're getting your mile in but it's like i'm not even It's so nice. It's awesome. It's just the chillest experience. You feel good because you're getting your mile in, but I'm not even breathing hard at the end by now. Dang. You can talk. You have no conversation. We can do a podcast. You can have a conversation. Yeah.

I am still breathing hard towards the end. That's okay. I'm breathing harder than normal, but the first few days, just like gasping for air yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i feel like um after like three or four days i was like sore in places that were like not necessarily alarming but like it wasn't just like my calves or my quads were sore it was like the the meat around my ankle was sore you know from like impact or like flexing my foot and like my knees were sore. I was like,

this year is going to suck if I actually do that. Like if this is three days of running and I'm already in like pain, but then just kind of kept running and we're good. Crazy how that happens. Yeah. It's like my muscles like aren't as sore when they get stronger. I know. Yeah.

And Rachel tried to tell me that. And I was just like, well, I think it's like from impact and I feel like I've just got to keep like hurting it worse, but she was right. Rachel was also right. She had an idea. So timing. Yeah. I've just kind of been coasting just like 10 minute mile easy. No problem. Once a week, we're going to try and beat our like current PR just once a week. That's fun. So that way you can't just coast every single day yeah so um so you're not gonna okay so every week you're gonna try to do it but then like the next week you don't have to try to

beat that every single time you're just gonna try to beat it once yeah just beat the current your current pr once a week today's like max out day yeah yeah max out day yeah oh wait wait you're so it's like run your fastest. Then that's forever. You're like one. You want to beat? Yes. Until you beat it next Sunday, you know,

Monday through Saturday, you run a 10 minute mile. So it's beat your last PR. No, just your actual, just your best PR, your personal record. Okay.

Like whatever is your best. You're trying to beat that once a week. Cool. Do you ever have desire to like i should just keep going yeah i think i'm not quite there yet uh because the last two days so i didn't see any posts from your time i was worried because i didn't see any posts from time when since it started snowing okay i was like maybe we lost them to the snow no but yesterday i mean i'm sure the roads where you were at were probably even worse than they were here probably six inches of snow on the ground not that bad though right it was it was a little more of a slide than a run for me okay there's a lot of like in our like kind of neighborhood or like um area

it was like one kind of one path plowed through the snow and then a lot of just ice but it was yeah so it kind of made it fun it was like every once in a while you kind of like slide a little bit today was the video the people falling in the snow? Those videos are awesome. But the one where they're like getting interviewed, like this is actually the best running weather. Yeah. And then they're like, all right, we'll have a good run. And they start running away.

They eat it. Yeah, that's a really good video too. I love when the dad's recording the kids slipping. That's an all-timer. So good. He's going to fall. Here he goes. Here he goes. Oh, that was one of my favorite things in New York. Or we can do it in Kansas City. But going to an ice skating rink

and just watching people fall cracks me up. I don't know why. That's a good date night. Yeah. You can go bundle up and watch people fall. And kind of predict who's going to do it. Like that kid, six years old. Mr. Incredible over here. He's fallen down. Way too top heavy. Yeah, exactly. kind of predict who's going to do it like uh like that kid's six years old yeah yeah mr incredible over here he's falling down way too top heavy yeah exactly that guy forgot leg day one too many times

yeah 100 so yeah every day it's been easy no problem today was a little icy short strides but no problem uh but probably about six days ago i i think between last time you recorded i was like all right new idea i'm just curious about the timing I'm gonna try and sprint until I get pretty tired and then walk until I'm not tired and then sprint again okay like is that faster than how I'm running like let's just see dude the first like couple hundred yards I mean I'm feeling amazing a car caught up to me sprinting I mean pretty close to it probably going like 90 I mean I just took off bundled up and a car got behind me right away and i was like running with the car i was like this is kind of fun i'm racing a car i was having the time of my life it's a golden retriever out there and like oh that's pretty

good let's walk check down my watch and it says i'm my heart's beating 180 beats per minute so three times every second like wow that's pretty good that seems like probably too much and so i walk for a little bit and like really didn't need to walk that long i feel i'm ready to go again i'm sprinting again like wow this is great life hack loophole and then dude the sprints become start to become shorter the walks start to become longer and every time i get done sprinting i look down and my heart rate is over 180 yeah and i just felt like the the human body is probably not supposed to do that and when i got done, dude, it was... I couldn't even get...

I finished my mile and couldn't even get to the house. I'm leaning on Rachel's car. I just couldn't do anything. Rachel was like, so how was it? I was like, can't. Later. Just... How do you think?

I would definitely, definitely, definitely not recommend sprinting than walking um as it turns out shocker uh there's no loopholes in cardiovascular health i thought there might be i was like maybe it's a way to trick it but no that it was miserable and now i'm just back to my 10 minute miles well maybe it was a better workout though probably was but much harder workout yeah in the cold though i was talking to my 10-minute miles. Well, maybe it was a better workout, though. Probably was. But, man, that sucks. Probably a much harder workout. Yeah. In the cold, though, I was talking to my dad because he's been doing it a little bit, too.

Nice. The first few days, he's just been doing it on a treadmill, and he found out. He did it for like four days straight and realized the treadmill was set to an 8% incline. Oh, 8% is a lot. Yeah. Oh, wow. He had no idea. So, 8% incline.

Steve, that's hard, man. And so now he said he will like run flat. And if he walks, he knocks it back up to a 8% incline. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, pretty impressive mile. That's no joke. Gosh, yeah. Like talk about somebody who's like sore on his ankle. Yeah, he has calves and whatnot.

Did you see his recent post in the group? I actually don't know if I've seen anything recently from him. Mile is done. Have been running for seven straight days with no weight loss. What I have lost is joy, happiness, and the reason to look forward to tomorrow. Wow, I didn't even see that. That's funny. The Strava group, it's popping.

I mean, there's like 250 people in there and people are posting constantly. So it's a lot of fun. That's awesome. Ghosties have also started a new Facebook group. I believe it's called Ghost Readers. I'm not in it because I'm not a ghost reader, but I think Rachel and Catherine are in it.

Nice little ghosty book club is starting. So if you didn't know about it, you didn't see the Facebook group, Ghost Readers is now a thing. Ghost Readers podcast. Which is so fun. Yeah. I mean, communities are forming without us.

That is cool. Self-sustaining. Yeah. Girls love their us. That is cool. Self-sustaining. Yeah. Girls love their books. Man. Wild. Wild times. Yeah, I think, I don't know.

I think it's cool you guys are running, though. Yeah, it is fun. It's a cool thing. And also, I have consumed only water, liquid-wise. I've ate. But liquid-wise, only water for like probably six days now. Nice. Yes.

Just straight, like not even like no added sugar, but just straight water. Just, yeah, water is the only thing I've drank for like six days. That's awesome. I've been doing like water and coffee, basically. Wow, look at us. Just like trying to like not have cravings for sugar. Like once you go to the melting pot, it's like, whoa. I think I can

get out of here. No, but just like, yeah, just trying to kick that. And it's been great. Like, like, it's just, I don't know. So far it's been somewhat easy. You know, once you get used to water, it's like, this is good. This is fine. Yeah. It's, uh, I've never done anything like this as far as like trying to eat healthy, drink healthy and be fit. I've never done anything like this as far as trying to eat healthy, drink healthy, and be fit. I've never tried all three because I think deep down I've always known you've got to do them all probably. You can't just do one thing.

You can't play pickleball and just continue eating poorly. Did Rachel tell you I texted her on Sunday? No. I said, Rachel, I think we need to do a juice cleanse together. Was she excited? Oh, yeah. I'm going to let her figure out what we need to do a juice cleanse together. Was she excited? Oh yeah. I'm going to let her like run with, like figure out what we need to do. Let's do it.

So I was talking to Catherine about it. Cause it's like this weird stomach thing. And she's like, maybe something's like stick it around and get your gut. Yeah. And she's like, she's like, I mentioned, cause Rachel, I talked about it. Remember that? Like, I forget exactly how it, how the conversation went, but it was something like we were all talking and she mentioned something like,

like, oh yeah, and maybe a juice cleanse or something. And I was like- What about lose your ass to do a juice cleanse? I was like, oh, I would just do a juice cleanse right now. Like, that sounds like an interesting thing. And she like immediately, she's like, I'll do a juice cleanse too. I was like, yeah, the consequence can't be something

you can do tomorrow. Yeah. It was like, yeah. Like one of those things were like, man, we really need to, you know, sleep better. Maybe we should get a new, like, if only we get a new bed. Well, I'd be willing to get a new bed. Okay. Let's get a new bed.

Okay. Let's get a new bed. Okay. Good idea. That's a good idea that you had, you know, like just like, it was like good idea. Definitely her suggestion more or less. But then I said, yeah,

I'll do it. So I don't know. You want to do that with us? I don't think I do. No, no. I've heard Trey has done a juice cleanse. I mean,

numerous times and talks about how awful, what is so awful? I don't know much about it. I think you're so hungry. First of all. Yeah. And then even like your reprieve from hunger tastes terrible. It's like finally I get to consume something.

And it's awful. And it's super green. Yeah, or green. So yeah, it just sounds awful. I'm sure there's plenty of health benefits. Yeah. But right now, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing. Do you remember Miranda?

Yeah, I thought about her recently. Was that a juice cleanse? That was some type of like gut cleanse, I think. But yeah, with juices. Whatever that is sounded wild and interesting. Yeah, wasn't it a prune? It was a prune cleanse or something? Oh, okay.

Maybe I made that up. But yeah, something to where you fully rid yourself. I mean, there is nothing in there. And there is everything out here. Yeah. Anyway, so we'll see. Good for us. I haven't talked to Rachel about it much beyond that because she's been in Florida, but yeah. Yeah. Every day I'm like running, bonding up, you know, the snow is falling while I'm running. And she was like, it was cold in Florida. It was 68. Like you'll be all right. Yeah. I don't know if I feel bad for you.

Okay, let's talk about Rachel being in Florida and the fact that the house is spick and span. You like it? Yeah. Tell me, was that a Rachel left for Florida and I've kept it this way like it was clean before or have you been cleaning? It got bad with me here by myself. I let things go a little bit.

Yep. But I have a friend coming into town later this afternoon, and he's staying the night. But just him? Just him. Okay. But just, that's nice. Just one guy. Yeah.

Is staying here tonight. I wanted to be clean. It looks very good. Thank you. That's cool that you even noticed that. Oh, yeah. Spick and span. Because there's spic.

Like. But I vacuumed, and that's where you span. That was span. Like, there's spic. But I vacuumed, and that's where you span. That was span. It's one thing to be like, oh, there's no mail all over the counter. Spic. Oh, the dishes are clean and put away. Spic. Span.

Oh, sorry. You idiot. I knew. No. But then all of a sudden you notice, whoa, that rug has been, I mean, there are lines on that rug from the vacuum. The Dyson has been out. There is like the crumbs are gone from the kitchen floor. And the plants are watered.

The plants are watered? Hello? This is Spick. Hi, it's me, Span. Now you got both of them on the line, right? All right. Well, this house is you got both of them on the line. Right? All right. Well, this house is clean. I'm surfing through the channels.

There's some boring news. I don't want to watch Spick, but there's C-Span. I do see Span. I do see Span. Yeah. I already speak English, so I thought I'd maybe try my talents out with Spanish.

Because it's so limp-y-ar around here. Yeah. I already speak Ingspyx. So I figured out... Maybe try Spanish. Yeah. Anyway, thanks for noticing. Yeah, dude.

It looks really great. Thanks. Yeah, Rachel's been gone. She was going to order some things for the house. Some, uh, some firewood holders, some fireplace, you know, tools. Yeah. And so she was, I was like, all right, pick out whatever you want and, you know, order to the house.

I want to get it ready for you when you're gone. And so she was like, Hey, we have crate and barrel gift cards from our wedding registry. They're somewhere in the house. Can you find them? I was like, Oh gosh. And Crate and Barrel gift cards from our wedding registry. They're somewhere in the house. Can you find them? I was like, oh, gosh. And so she sends me on this chase. She's like, all right, three spots I would send you. First of all, this purse in the closet, this other purse here.

So first of all, have you ever dug through a woman's purse? Oh, it's Bermuda Triangle. It's the Bermuda Triangle with the spot in Jupiter with the rest of the other galaxies. On steroids. It is. A woman's purse. This is my first time digging through one.

It was unbelievable what was in there. Yeah. Cash is in six different compartments. I mean, it just crumpled up dollar bills. I found, I mean. Crumpled up dollar bills is not an experience I've seen. Really? Yeah.

That's a new one. Oh, yeah. Crumpled up and like, oh, this is where she keeps her money. Oh, no, there's money over in this pocket too, I guess. There's no wallet. It's just dollar bills. This is not my experience. Are just in the purse all over. Yeah.

There's multiple sets of sunglasses in there. There is ink pens there's pencils there's used kleenexes there's unused kleenexes there's uh i'm not making this up i found multiple spoons in rachel's purse she's like there might be a creightonville gift card i was like well i found two spoons she's like um yeah that's right just, well, just in case I had a buddy. There's two spoons used. Honestly, I didn't take a good look at the spoons. I was like, this is unbelievable. They didn't have yogurt stains on them or anything.

I didn't notice. Yeah. Yeah, spoons in there. It's crazy that she lives this way. I agree with that. That's not quite, Catherine's is not that extreme. That sounds like a messy purse. Yeah.

Like used Kleenexes. Yeah. I don't know if Catherine would ever stick a used Kleenex back in there. quite catherine's is not that extreme that sounds like a messy purse yeah like there's all sorts of kleenexes yeah i don't know if catherine would ever stick a used kleenex back in there oh love it um but like catherine my my experience with them is she'll say hey can you go get my phone it's in my purse dude i'll look in there i there's not that many things in there but yet i cannot find a darn thing in there and you know it's in the purse yeah it's like

it's like Catherine it's like I am like she can sprint to the purse like she could find her phone in there in.2 seconds but then I'm walking

you know what I mean like she's the sprint part of that and I'm the I'm the walk like I there's nothing that I can find in there like hey can you get my chapstick

it's in she'll like describe it dude she'll be like it's in this pocket in this thing in my purse. And I'll look and I'll be like, I promise I have tried, but I do not see it. I don't, I don't know where this thing is. So it's just like, yeah, it's just like a abyss of stuff. Yeah. I mean, on one end, like if I was a woman, I think that is kind of fun. Like you just get to have this little bag and just keep stuffing. Yeah. Kind of cool. But also I've made it pretty, you know, pretty far in life, not using a purse. Like I don't think you truly need all of that at all times. Yeah. You can keep some stuff in your car.

Once you become a mom. Yeah. It helps. It helps to have one. Yeah, it's true. But yeah, because you're like, I don't need a Band-Aid until you do. And then it sticks on you. I feel like once you're a mom, at least with like little kids, it's like a diaper bag. I feel like, isn't that what? Yeah, that's true.

Well, diaper bags have like bigger things, but sometimes we don't use diaper bags very often anymore. We'll, yeah, we'll just throw one diaper and a wipe or two, you know, a little. What would you do for a diaper bag? Yeah. You're right though. Time.

We did have like a big old diaper bag for a while. And then we're like, I didn't need that. Yeah. You keep, keep a diaper in the car or something, but it's just great. So I,

yeah, I looked at multiple purses. They weren't any of that. Rachel's sending me all over the house. Sorry. I might be in these cabinets in the cabinets. It's all looking loose in the cap. She's a psycho.

Yeah, I'm looking through the cabinets, and then I'm looking at other places. She's like, checking coat pockets. I'm checking coat pockets. And then a little time goes by. She texts me. Oh, found them. Had them with me in Florida.

Had them in my eighth purse. So that was fun. But we found the gift cards, and still have plenty to spare. Let's go. So we're like, hey, let's get something else for the house.

Couldn't find anything, but hey, it's there when we need it. That's always fun. Yeah. It's so hard to know the balance between like, do I go for it now

or do I wait until I need, like, do I find something a little extravagant now? Splurge-o a little bit. Yeah, like, yeah,

whatever. That would be fun because you're like, just trust the process. Trust that you're going to get something there eventually. Yeah, we'll need something. Eventually. Yeah, you should, when she comes home, have the fire going.

I want to. The thing is, that stuff hasn't showed up yet and I leave tomorrow morning. Okay. I'll do the fire then, I guess. I'm just kidding. So you're going to have to, yeah, we fly back together because she's flying to Oklahoma City to meet me. Oh, that's right.

I forgot that you're doing all that. So one of you guys, I don't know who's free. Do you mind coming back up? Yeah, I got it. Tymon, did you think we were going to cancel because of the snow ever? No. It's been nasty in Kansas City and people are acting like

it's the polar vortex out there or something. Yeah, McAllister's totally was closed. No. Guys, what time? Six. Yeah, maybe. It's pretty sick. I thought like noon.

Really? I could see businesses closing early. McLean's closed their kitchen at two. That's kind of spick if you ask me. 2. That's kind of spic if you ask me. Yeah. That's a little more spic and span. It gives me the spic. They're kind of spicking me out right now.

Yeah. That's spicking. Yeah. Cane's not spic. Just fine. Yeah. Very span. Very span.

Yeah, it was great. They were there for me. I just had cane instead. Yeah. That's fun. They were there for me. He's got Kane instead. That's fun. I forget. How did we get free Chick-fil-A? Chick for drone? No, no, no.

What was it? I don't know. The jingle game. I missed one. I missed like eight, so it's fine. We get free chicken. Chicken for some jingles? How's chicken for some drone going, Tymon?

Hey, X-J. So Sunday afternoon, I go to church by myself. But great time at church. It was awesome. I just, I get there early and I'm just meeting people. It reminds me of my time at Watermark back in the day where I feel like the church I'm going to now, it's really starting to become like, there's so many millennials who are going here that like, I can go by myself and I know I'm going to meet new people one way or another. That's a great stage of church going, is when you're excited to go even if you're by yourself. Yes, I'm so there.

Socially, this church is so healthy in all sorts of different ways. So it was great. Met all sorts of new friends, saw old K-Life kids, and that's happened multiple weeks in a row. Who'd you see? This week, I saw Luke Vaughn. Remember him? He was a Blue Valley kid.

I don't know if you would know him very well. Brady Vaughn was his brother. He also came. But then the week before, during Christmas break, I saw Matthew Leachn. Remember him? He was a Blue Valley kid. I don't know if you would know him very well. Brady Vaughn was his brother. He also came. But then the week before during Christmas break, I saw Matthew Leach and his sister, Grace, and Elsa Jane Poston. Fun. And maybe a fourth in there. I can't remember now. Really? It was a blast.

That's awesome. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah. But so go to church, have a great time. I saw, you know, okay, I talked at the New Year's Eve party that I made friends with a dentist and we've got an appointment. Yep. So I saw him. He was leading church when I got there. He dabs me up from his car. I'm like, dentist!

And he's like, what's up? Good to see you. You know, I talk for like an hour to like different friends after church. Then when I leave, I see him again on the street. I tap him up. He's in his car. I'm on the street.

Did you go, comedian! Patient! It was funny. I was like, what are you still doing in this area like two hours later uh but it was fun so then i walked to an acai bowl place right uh by church man i wish we had one close to us and i uh i brought my computer because i knew i needed to get some work done and right there alone in this acai uh bowl shop i just very just like just kind of suddenly just paid off all my student loan debt.

Just did that right there. Hey, congrats. And then within five minutes of that, I signed a contract to open up Bondi bowls in Kansas City, baby! It's happening! Wow. It's a great Sunday afternoon. I did not realize it's like official, official. Yeah, and no one even knew. I was just sitting there

just like, this was like a big day. You just, you went for it. Yeah. And no one even knew. I was just sitting there just like, this was like a big day. You just, you went for it. Yeah. Just like, just me, myself, and my MacBook. Just, yeah, paid off all my student debt and signed the contract. So it's been in the works for a while now,

but it's official. Tell us more. Remind people if they don't know. Or yeah, whatever. Real quick. Bondi. It's the name of a beach in Australia where the founder,iley uh lived for

two years i met bailey this is the quick version but bumped into her on the street in sydney australia in 2019 i was like wow this is awesome she shows us around gets us you know you know introduces to people become good friends and then during covid she starts this business i say e-ball shop called bondi bowls i go down to see some friends during the summer of 2020. I'm like, this is the best ASEE Bowl I've ever had. This is amazing. I want to bring this to Kansas City. She's like, great. I didn't even think about franchising really. Let's do it. I was going to be her

first franchise. I decide to not do it because Trey and I are about to go on tour. I was like, I'm going to focus on that. Three years have passed by. She has 17 different food trucks, multiple storefronts. There's something coming to Morocco soon. I don't know if I'm even supposed to say that. She's coming to Huntington Beach, Dallas, the country Morocco. Yeah, about to be in two countries, all these locations. So I was

like, well, I probably should have done that three years ago. So, you know, the best time to do something is probably like when you first heard about it. The second best time is now. And so anyway, me and my buddy, Alex Demchek, who's coming here this afternoon, who I got the House of Pickets band for, we are going to franchise this location in Kansas City. We're very, very excited, and Bailey's the best. Rachel is flying from Florida, where she's

out with her family now, to Oklahoma City on Saturday because that's where we're doing a comedy show. It's also where Bailey is. We're all going to meet up, and it's going to be a great time. Wow. So, yeah, that's it for now. I mean, there'll be plenty more updates hoping to launch, open it up this summer.

But if you want to work there, if you want to manage the store, I mean, yeah, it's a position we're looking into. Yeah, we had Bondi at Grande Boo. Yes, that's right. Yeah, Bailey is the best. Anyone who talks to Bailey,

like my dad will just bring up Bailey every now and then. He's like, how's Bailey doing? I can't believe that. I had a five minute conversation with her and she is one of the more phenomenal people I've ever met. Yeah. And that's what most people's experience is with Bailey. You know, you just meet certain people

and you're like, they're just quality people. I want to be a part of whatever they're doing. Yeah. And so, yeah, everyone feels that way about Bailey. She's awesome. And so, yeah, I feels that way about Bailey. She's awesome. And so, yeah, I'm fired up. Alex and I have always talked about doing something together for 10 years now. Alex is a friend of mine from college. I'm pumped to see how it goes. Like see, yeah. Where you guys end up and you guys, you've been like location scouting now for

six months or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a good amount of work. Pretty much the right term for it, but it sounds good. Pretty much since grande boo, this has been in the works and a lot of phone calls, a lot of meetings, a lot of decisions to be made, but yeah, I'm tapping it. It's really a good amount of work. I don't know if that's the right term for it, but it sounds good. Pretty much since Grande Boo, this has been in the works. And a lot of phone calls, a lot of meetings, a lot of decisions to be made. But yeah, it's happening and it's really fun.

And yeah, I'll update you guys more, but I'm sure there's... Not even I'm sure. I'm positive. There's so much that I don't know. There's so much more work that I don't probably imagine. But I think it's going to be fun.

It's going to be a new challenge and a new venture. And there's going to be some content. You're going to have some stories from running the acai bowl shop. Yeah, it's going to be fun. It's going to be a new challenge and a new venture. And there's going to be some content. You're going to have some stories from running the acai bowl shop. Yeah, it's going to be a way to keep the podcast as entertaining as possible. That's right. That's what we're really trying to go for here. That's why we start businesses.

So fun little announcement. Wow. Bondi Bowls KC, it's happening. Did you have one time for Grand Debut? I did. Yeah? It was good. Yeah, it's real good.

Yeah, they're great. In the month of December, I had 15 different acai bowls. And I had some really good ones, but Bondi just does it different. So when you were sitting in this acai bowl shop after church, did you press the button to sign the contract and look around and say, this won't last much longer? See ya. I went up to the woman who took my order

and was like, hey, is the manager in today? And she's like, yeah. And I said, hey, good luck. Good luck, babe. Shook her hand and said, might want to find a plan B. Oh, it's going to be awesome. When Alex usually comes to Kansas City, we'll go get Acai together. Yeah.

We're always like, all right, should we get... All right, let's go support the anime one more time. Let's go support the competition. This is our last time doing it. Dude, do you think that surely you're going to have like... You're going to be able to bring stuff home? Oh, yeah. I didn't even think

about that. Dude, yeah. Obviously. You know? Like, if you own McDonald's, you can have McDonald's at home. And I would dare to say it's going to be way easier to make an Aussie bowl at home than it would be to make McDonald's at home. Yeah.

Yeah, I would be swimming in Aussie, which is great, dude. Four days in a row now, I've had Aussie from four different places. Like, I clearly, I love the product so much. Oh, I'm going to be swimming in it. I can't wait. Holy cow. I'll just come over. And I I clearly love the product so much. I'm going to be swimming in it. I can't wait.

Holy cow. I'll just come over. And I'll patronize the store too. Thank you for patronizing. But the kids, we'll have acai. How can we make that a fun tag? Acai. And none of the days of the week really fit.

Saturdays Saturdays Saturdays Saturdays Saturdays Saturdays Saturdays Dude, so fun. So fun. Wasn't there a smudges thing that was going to be discussed? Oh, yeah. Something about smudges.

Before the podcast, Brad and I were talking about smudges. We're like, save it, save it. I don't even know what we were going to say, though. Just, yeah, go ahead. I feel like my screen is so smudgy. So how? And I never touch my screen because I don't want it to get smudgy. I'll tell you who touched my screen.

Rachel Triplett. Kind of likes touching the screen. So you're thinking to get smudgy. I'll tell you who touched my screen. Rachel triplet kind of like such in the screen. So you're thinking yours is smudgy dude. Mine is Dottie. Let's let's I'm talking to brightness down. What do you mean Dottie? I'm talking like like oh yeah, let's like not or something like dirt just like like

bunch of little specks. Yeah, like a speckled golf polo back in span. Yeah. Yeah. Speckled golf. That's how that's like how your brain works. Sorry,, like a speckled golf polo. Speck and span. Speck and span. Yeah, yeah. Speckled golf polo. That's like how your brain works. Sorry. Just like a speckled golf polo. Like a bad birdie.

Like a vice three grip. Or a vice three grip. Ball. Like a vice three grip. Yeah, I got some smudges in the, you know, I have like an L of smudges on the top left down to the bottom or down to the left side I'm saying oh go ahead most of mine is just a lot of like little flex little dot flex flex is the best word for it yeah I was gonna say I'm seeing a lot less like

actual fingerprint looking stuff and more just like just it's just dirty I need to clean this thing and how does it become that way is it it must be when you close it i don't know i think that's a good question on i mean is it is it does it just like spitting on it for that long and not realizing yes old spit but then again dude gross i if i if i took my time i bet i could count these and there'd be 400 spit specs spec and span is that because i mean what are what what is causing that from the keyboard that you're pushing down yeah keyboard doesn't make sense to me yeah jake i know i don't think the keyboard i hey hey who said keyboard i said when it's closed well what else would cause it when it's i don't think it's a keyboard like keys like because

for instance trey used to have a keyboard cover which is a strange thing that he had for a long time and Those things suck. Yeah, it would make I mean you could see the letter K upside down on a screen It would like leave an imprint on a screen that was like I mean you could see the outline of keys on a screen Okay, I'm saying just like I think when it's closed, maybe that's like dirt from But it's already like underneath the keys or in the vents or whatever is then like, and then you move it around. Like you're walking with it in your backpack. Like that is when it's becoming dirty.

Could be. I don't know. Could be. Hey, I think when we started talking about this is because I brought my mom's gift to the studio today. Keyboard and screen deep cleaning set. So we're all using it. And I was like, I don't really need it for anything. I was like, but my screen always gets so smudgy.

Like, yeah, mine too. So smug. Yeah, I don't know. Speaking of golf polos, we all watched the Chiefs game together this past Sunday night, Sunday afternoon. We watched the most inconsequential Chiefs game and we did the biggest event for it.

We went all out for it. All of our friends. Everybody was there. Our kids were there, whatever. Catherine made chili. Everybody brought stuff. It was great, and the game didn't matter. We watched the team's backups.

We just watched the backups beat the Chargers. But that night, they were like, hey, let's keep watching football. Dolphins-Bills should be a good game. Rachel and her family was randomly at it. We're watching it, and they were like, Hey, let's, uh, let's keep watching football. Dolphins bills should be a good game. Rachel and her family was randomly at it, but, um, so we're watching it.

And I was like, Hey, I'm going to go give away a bunch of my golf clothes to these guys since everybody's here. So I go grab like, I don't know, probably 20 different golf polos and some quarter zips, some hats.

Brad's got the hat on. Yep. And anyway, obviously everything I have is a medium gunner and scott are the only two that could fit in a medium so then they start doing a a draft for the polos and was so funny how serious they took it it was really enjoyable well scott took it seriously and gunner took it serious to like because it was so fun to watch scott like get frustrated i think yeah scott was really like all right if I pick this,

Gunner's probably going to pick those two. Well, that one's orange for Oklahoma state. So I could see him picking that. Gunner's like, no, I already have enough Oklahoma state gear. And Scott's like,

oh, he already has enough Oklahoma state gear. Like Scott, he's lying. He bid on it so hard. Really? You don't want any more orange? Wow.

You're all good on that. Okay. Huh? Yeah. And Scott picks first. It picks something. Yeah. Scott Scott picks first. It picks something. Yeah, Scott had to pick first.

Picks next and picks a black polo. Scott's like, no! No! Scott, you had the first pick. He's like,

I know, but oh, I did not think Gunnar would choose that next. And so then Gunnar's, then Scott offered Gunnar real money. He's like,

I'll give you 20 bucks for that. I was like, hey, I'm giving you this for free. You can't, no one can make money off this. You should have chosen. Hey, right? Yeah.

I could sell this on Facebook marketplace, but I'm choosing to give it to you. Yeah, because you know, Bad Birdie is all like loud clothing, which Scott loves the color pink clothing. Gunner loves loud stuff. Yeah. So it really was two perfect guys to give this.

Yeah, it worked out great. And yeah, Scott, I mean, his stack was just, you know, teal green and pink. He's set. Yeah. Yeah. That was fun. That was a good time. I, uh, it was a good time having that conversation about cats. Do you remember that? That was a good five minutes we brought up. Yeah. Cause I brought up the, a cat that I would maybe want to get, and you were convinced it was a bobcat. Dude. And so then we got talking about how.

Maine something. Maine coon cats. Yeah, Maine coon cat. Look it up. Time to look it up right now if you want to. And anyway, then we were like, well, I mean, you guys have all heard that the cat will eat their owner and the dogs won't.

And then Catherine, like, hadn't heard from her in an hour. She's down there puzzling. That is not true. That is not true. She came to the defense real quick on those cats. And then we started to look into it. I was like, yeah, I've always heard that, but I've never actually Googled it.

I Googled it, and there was some crazy stuff out there. I don't think the cat will eat you. There was not very good definitive evidence. But there was some hilarious evidence that just some podcaster that was like, yeah, they did studies, and the cat will start eating you

within an hour to 20 minutes after you're dead. And we're actually like, yeah, they did studies and the cat will start eating you within an hour to 20 minutes after you're dead. There's no way that that's possible. How do you sleep? And Brad's like, that's why they call them cat naps. Because it's dangerous. Your cat could eat you while you nap. That's why you could only nap so long. Or else it starts gnawing on your face.

Yeah, man. I don't know. I just get a little nervous about those kitties. The Maine Coon does look pretty predatorial. It looks terrifying. A little dangerous.

Like Jake was like, because I think you texted Rachel, if we get a cat, I would want one like this. I said, if you got that cat, I would never come over. I was like, we're recording at my house.

That's what I told you. It would depend on its demeanor. But I feel like if I'm going to get a cat, I want it to be very large and as snugly as possible. That fits the bill. It's called a dog. Yeah, the size of a dog. If we had to get a cat, for some reason, God was like,

hey, you've got to get a cat. Sacrifice your son and get a cat. Okay. Get the Maine Coon. I don't know. That was a good chat. That was a fun time. Because the Maine Coon thing by itself, because't know. Yeah, yeah. It was good chat. That was a fun time. Because the Maine Coon thing by itself, because people were also like,

that's fake. Like Gunner or maybe. A lot of people were like, that's AI. I was like, it's a whole video. It's not AI. Yes, that is an AI video. Yeah, that was also fun hearing Scott like.

Oh, yeah. Act like he's never heard of AI before. Or like. Chat GP, what is it? Like, you don't, I mean. So you can ask it anything. Because you were showing some pickleball design. Yeah, like chat GP. What is it like? You know, I mean, so you can ask it anything because you were showing some pickleball design.

You can do the images that you had for Friday pickleball. And so it's like, yeah, look at this thing. So then I would just be like, just make it even more ridiculous. Scott's like, you can just say that's it.

You can like, there's like a stream of like a thread that you could talk to AI. Like, yeah, which is a year and a half. It's revolutionary. But yeah, it's not new.

And Scott is not dumb. And I was like, Scott, I mean, you work in corporate America. Like, I would be shocked if AI couldn't do at least 10% of your job. Right. Like at least to help you form a long email you don't want to write or something like.

Yeah. There's got to be something you can use it on. So I was talking to Josh Madison a little bit about, because he's a big like online marketing, SEO stuff. I was like, are you guys using AI? He's like,

we're using AI a bunch and I'm very intrigued. He's like, we have our own AI that, that chat GPT created for them. Like, dang, which I'm like, I don't even understand exactly what that means.

But like from what I do get, what I can't like wrap my head around. Pretty interesting. It's pretty cool. So yeah, I don't know if, what I can't like wrap my head around, pretty interesting. It's pretty cool. So yeah, I don't know if anybody out there like knows like a good account to follow for like basic beginner AI tips, I think it'd be fun to just like, just see what they say about different things. Like, here's how you can do this, you know, prompt for this. I don't know. I'm sure there's a bunch out there. It's just about sifting through the weeds on them.

Last time I was in a bookstore, I saw a book in the tech category that was how to master prompts for chat GPT. The whole book was about prompting chat GPT. It was impressive, but also I'm inclined to think this is already outdated. I was going to say that cannot stay

present for that long. It's a book you have to get published immediately and people need to buy within the next three months and you have to make a new book. Yeah, well, that's planned obsolescence, you know? Good word. I don't even read books anymore because all I do is use the Dwell app.

Man, so you still consume the book. You just don't read it. I don't read the words. Tell me more, Jake. Well, Dwell. Yeah, What is the Dwell app? So Dwell, it's an acronym. Oh yeah. Deuteronomy was even less legalistic than people thought. Actually, it's all about laws. And you would know that. Yeah. And that's the

benefit of learning versus reading. Listening, you don't focus on that as much. What I'm trying to say is, no, as I've been running more, I've been running more, I've been doing different studies.

I'm always using myself as a little rat. And, you know, sprinting, walking, running backwards. And I've been listening to music versus podcasts versus audio books. Definitely found that non-music, I'm way more distracted. The run goes way quicker. And so I've been using Dwell Bible app during runs. But guess what, guys?

You can use it whenever you want because that's the beauty about audio and the Bible. Timon, rapid fire. Three different places you can use the Dwell Bible app. Bible app. Bible app. In the car. Ding, ding, ding, ding.

While you're running. Ding, ding, ding, ding. No, we already used that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yes, but eh. While you're running. Ding, ding, ding. We already used that one. Yeah, yeah. I mean, yes, but eh. While you're flying a parachute. Ding, ding, ding. Gosh, that was going to be my one.

And on a plane. Okay. Before you jump out. Yep. Good. Skydivers love dwell. Oh, it's so true. Yeah.

So, yeah, it's a way to listen to the Bible. It's audio-based. It lets the Bible be read to you throughout your day, whenever it's convenient to you, driving to work, running to the park, cooking dinner, whatever. You know, it doesn't need to be this, like, quiet corner of solitude.

Are you counting the stepladder? I'll shut up now. Yes. I think I have two stepladders. Maybe three. No, I think I just have two. Yeah, I think

I have five ladders. And then I have that one that can expand to 40 feet or whatever it is. It's a lot. Actually, we might have three or four. That's not outrageous. That's impressive. Thank you. Wow, he's letting his own bias affect his opinion. And then we have one that's like really lightweight.

I don't know. I didn't buy that one. I think I just inherited it somehow. Next topic. Oh, just one step stool. Yep. I don't know if that counts. Well, if you call it a step ladder, it counts.

Oh, okay. Lifetime fitness. How's that going? That's all we're doing ladders? Yeah, I don't know if that counts well if you call it a step ladder it counts oh okay, Lifetime Fitness, how's that going? that's all we're talking about? yeah, I don't know no, I was just trying to think of a random word Lifetime Fitness is great love it was bamboozled by my friend Will Severns because I looked at my

I looked at my Find My Friends app Jake Triplett is at Lifetime Fitness and I thought, it, find my friends app. Jake triplet is that lifetime fitness. And I thought it's happening. I can even tell where you were at lifetime. I was like, he's playing pickleball. He realizes it's winter time. He's got to get his pickleball in. That's he's obsessed with pickleball. Let's go. We're doing this. He's joining. And we'll even respond and said, Brad, he's, he's going to join. And then you just responded. You're like, no. I just got asked by Will to come play pickleball. He used a guest pass on me.

Definitely didn't sign up. And I responded. I go, hey, Will, hilarious joke. No, but it's good. I love it. I love going there. Just trying to get back into fitness more and more. Just trying to take it slow, baby.

You three heating? I saunered today. I was sweating out today. I don't know what was going on. Like in the sauna, you sweat a bunch. Yeah, but sometimes I'm not nearly as drippy. Today I was dripping. So I don't know what that's all about.

Maybe doctors, do your thing. Doctors. Diagnose that. Dude, you've been wiping that screen for a while now. It's not very effective, to be honest. I'm trying my best. I mean, it's better, but it's still plenty speckled. It feels like it needs like a spray or something.

But we're not sponsored by that keyboard. So yeah, it doesn't matter. Goodness, no. I'm just kidding. Last topic. Let's go facial hair. We each have a little more than we did last matter. Goodness, no. I'm just kidding. Last topic. Let's go facial hair. We each have a little more than we did last week. Yeah.

Timon? Nah, it's clean. Timon's going to be like Jake, where he's like, I can't grow facial hair. And then one day he's like, actually, I can grow facial hair. Mustache, just fine. What about beard? I tried it.

And? A little weak right here. So yeah, Rachel, I think I talked about this on the year in review. I kind of remember you talking about it there, but I don't. I can't remember how much I even said, but yeah, it was just like,

you know, it's Christmas time. I don't need to be on video or in front of people for a while now. Let's just, I've never seen about the beard. And we've proved the mustache. I don't know about the beard. So it's like, let's let them loose. And so yeah, probably for like two weeks, let it grow out and rachel was like super

on board borderline her idea at first like that'd be fun yeah let's see it that'd be cool yeah juice cleanse oh yeah okay yeah and then after two weeks she was like i think it's probably time i think we've seen all we need to see so um the key is don't ask don't ask experiment over so yeah it's it's just a little weaker but you can maybe grow a pretty successful goatee. If it's not like... But no one wants to grow a goatee, Timon. I could. Yeah, I think the goatee was strong.

You could grow a Fu Manchu. I could grow a Fu Manchu. I could do a soul patch. Yeah. Soul patch with a mustache. Do you get kind of addicted to the mustache once you're in it? In what way? Like, would it be hard for you to shave it right now?

Oh, no, I'm going to shave it tomorrow morning. Oh, really? Yeah. Before the shows. Oh, really? Yeah, I think so. People might laugh at you more if you got a mustache. Ooh, mustache jokes?

Try it out. All right. That'd be fun. Not even mustache jokes. Just like, look at this guy. He's got a mustache. Must be funny. You know?

Yeah, I think there's maybe value in that. There's something there. Okay. I want to see throughout any of the little reels, stand-up clips on your Instagram account, just a bunch of clean-shaven ones, a random mustache one in there, and then just like...

Can I say that we absolutely had a huge Instagram reel with Jake in a mustache. I'm so much funnier this way. You're right. It was the mortgage. It was the mortgage, like talking to your mortgage lender. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He had a big old mustache.

I was about to say. A little caterpillar? Yeah. Anyway. All right. I'll keep it on this weekend. See what happens. Okay. I'm in shape. That'd be so interesting. I probably psyched myself up way too much with all the different variables of like, well, what if I dress differently?

Would that make me funnier if I'm more fashionable or less fashionable? Like this guy, look at him. He's kind of quirky. Yeah, he's a slob. He's hilarious. Yeah, I don't know. But probably it's mostly your words. I'd say mostly, But it could help.

Let's see. What's above my words? My lip? Yep. Mustache? You're like rubbing the mic Sorry, that's my mustache there. I got caught. But Rachel's okay with the mustache. I think she's been gone. So I don't really know. That's true.

But we'll see. I feel like she was on board for a mustache bachelor party. Yeah, she was. She's cool like that. She's a cool girl. She's a cool cat. Cats, pajamas, bees knees. Let's do our reviews of the week.

Tymon, you watched School Rock yet? Not yet. Someone commented that it is on Netflix. So once you get a TV, yeah. We do have a TV now. Okay. But only thing we have is Disney Plus, and it is someone else's account.

It's okay. I covered the mic so no one can hear me. All right, time. All right, save up. Someday. I'm saving one review for you, Brad. The one about the Trump impression. Okay.

Do you want me to do it in a Trump impression? 100%. Or should I do it in a different impression? Because then it would be funny because it's not what they asked for. Yeah the Trump impression. Okay. Do you want me to do it in a Trump impression? 100%. Or should I do it in a different impression? Because then it'd be funny, because it's not what they asked for, a Biden impression. Mine's from Lily M. Ralston. This podcast is funny, uplifting,

clean, entertaining every single episode. I would recommend this podcast to everyone. And I'm excited to see what 2024 will bring to Jake and Brad. Praying for y'all's success and for the show to prosper this year. Thank you, Lillian. Appreciate it.

Okay. Okay. This review is a great review. It's fantastic. It's an incredible review. It's from Harris One or Harris One. I don't really know how to pronounce it. One four, one seven.

Better not be from China. One four, one seven is my favorite verse from Two Corinthians. It's a five-star review. All my reviews are five stars. They're all five stars. I average five stars because I've only gotten five stars. It says, do more Trump impressions. I love listening.

It's very entertaining, relatable to my life. I'm losing it. I'm also a huge, huge, huge office fan. Fellow former sheltered kid, Christian, just like Donnie. I love Jake's humor when Brad talks about family life. As I'm married with four young kids, they're tiny in more ways than one. Also love Brad's Trump impression, okay? Struggling.

Keeps me entertained throughout my day as a stay-at-home mom. What was the mom? I thought it was a boy the whole time. Just how I think. Thanks for the clean laughs. God bless. Trump 2024. Put me on the ballot.
