Last week, I'm at a little Friday pickleball shoot. Scott's there, Isaac's there, Tymon's there for a bit. The boys. We get done filming and they say, hey, why don't we go eat at Chicken Pickles? I go, okay, how often do we do that? Let's go in and we're perusing the menu and I'm seeing some different things.

I didn't know they had, oh, chicken waffles. Didn't know they had chicken waffles. Oh, okay. Classic, just a lot of chicken options. Sure. And then Scott orders something that, just a great sentence. I think it might be a unique sentence. I don't know if anyone on earth has ever said this sentence.

Any guesses on what Scott ordered from Chicken and Pickle? They were, instead of cheese curds, they're chicken curds. And he ordered two of them. Just like, they're little guys. And he just said, can I just get two little curds? Two little curds. Just like two, like they're little guys and he just said, can I just get two little curds? Two little curds. Just a couple of curds.

Correct answer is, can I name for that? Scott, for you to go, for here, and what's your order? Can I just get a pot pie and a water? Oh my gosh.

It's like a pot pie and a water. That is. robust menu and you found the only thing not chicken and the only thing not chicken. Pot pie? A public pot pie

is so bad. Don't eat pot pie in public. A bar and grill pot pie too. It's like they have standing bar height tables. Everyone's just chowing down on their honey mustard with chicken fingers.

Bavarian pretzel. Yeah, Bavarian pretzel. We got, yeah, like nachos, like, you know, special nachos. You're over there, fork and knife on a pot pie. You don't go public pot pie. That is, that is insanity. If it helps paint the picture of how insane this is, we're very sweaty. Exactly.

We just got done. A piping hot public pot pie is a terrible idea. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down. With some random thoughts in white. Me too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet.

Because this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rums Podcast. Ghost Rums Podcast. Hey, but we love Scott. I think by the time this comes out, he just had a kid. Wow.

So I hope he raises him on good values. Shout out Banks. Yeah, public pot pies and pickleball. Public pot pies. Here's two things that you need to know about Scott. Scott's family. Is this for Banks? No, maybe Banks.

Your grandparents and your great-grandparents, they grew up in New England, and his great-grandma grew up Jewish. I don't know if those things make you have public pot pies, but it sure kind of makes sense now. Public piping pickleball pot pies. I mean, just preposterous. Preposterous.

Preposterous. Dude, have you seen that clip of Nate Bargettsy trying to say civilizations? Oh, yeah, that's shocking. He said civilian stations. Like the guy, he was interviewing a guy. The guy said civilizations, and he's like, and there aren't very many like civilian stations. He was interviewing a guy. The guy said civilizations, and he's like, and there aren't very many civilian stations.

And Aaron Weber, one of his co-hosts with them, could not keep it together. I've watched it probably four times. I don't know. Is that like, oh, what's that called where you get the letters mixed up? Dyslexia? Yeah, is that dyslexia or is that just not being smart? I think that's maybe lack of hearing or something,

like civilian stations. Civilian stations. It's like everyone in his life mumbles through everything. You know, kind of like one of those, he kind of grew up hillbilly town, old Hickory, Tennessee or whatever. Maybe it's just like, hey man, I got a mechanic over here,

I can do an entire change, an oil change right there for $15. You know, it's like., hey man, I got a mechanic over here. I can do that. Tire change, oil change, right there for $15. You know, it's like. Vegetations. Yeah, so that's a crazy

vegetation over there. He talked about it in his set that he calls it the silver war instead of the civil war. So. Yeah,

what else did he say? How he lives. Yeah. 1860s, yeah, silver war. I also heard, I mean,

because people are like, is that an actor? Is that really just who he is? I think that's truly who he is. I heard an interview with him one time. He's like, I mean, because people are like, is that an actor? Is that really just who he is? I think that's truly who he is. I heard an interview with him one time. He's like, I mean, yeah, it's crazy. We're in 2024. You know, he's like, I mean, the three thousands is only like 76 years away.

And people were just like, yeah, yeah. And then somebody was like, wait a second. That's not right. Yeah. I think he was talking about kids these days. And he's like, you think about it like kids these days They're gonna live to be yeah 2024 because he makes the joke about I'm from the 1900s or something like that

He's like these generations you don't think about it, but the kids born today. I mean they could see the earth 324 three thousands like wow. Yeah, that is kind of crazy wait wait. I don't think so 21 24 Luckily we're not ever stupid so I've never made a mistake which is good, which is great. so. It's 21-24. Luckily, we're not ever stupid. I've never made a mistake, which is good. Which is great. Yeah, that's us for you. Anyway, pot pie and water. Only thing I wrote down. It was the only thing I really wanted to talk about other than that.

Whatever you guys think. I think we should end it right there. We have a Wednesday episode. We're ending on top with pot pie and water. So just come back Wednesday. We'll have more to say. News Runners Podcast? Nailed it. It's over. What do you on top with pot pie and water. So just come back Wednesday. We'll have more to say. News Runners podcast? Nailed it. It's over. What do you guys think of pot pies?

Private pot pies. Oh, still not that good. That's my problem with this. It's like, at their peak, a pot pie can only be so good. That's what I'm saying, dude. Scott was raised differently than we were. There's something about this New England Scott, like Cape Cod kettle cooked chips that he would always have.

Scott was the only guy that I knew that had Ovaltine at his house. Did you know any Ovaltine people? No, I thought maybe it was a scam. You see all the commercials for it. They must be doing all right somewhere. It's probably New England. It's a mattress firm thing. I see it, but I don't see it.

But where is it? Where's it going? Who's actually buying the stuff? Scott Peck was buying the stuff. Yeah. Uh, also had Cape Cod chips all the time. Only person I knew that had those,

uh, I'm trying to think of other things. Uh, was the only person I think that I knew that actually like froze his own ice cubes. What? Oh, it was so annoying.

You know, well, like in comparison to like having an ice maker. Oh, I see. He was poor. I don't think he was poor. That's the thing that he was not poor. Poor shaming him. He was poor. I don't think he was poor. That's the thing.

He was not poor. Poor shaming him. He was the only guy I knew. Old team, he got him on food stamps. Just slowly describe his lack of... Yeah, dude. He was the only one I knew that slept with all three of his brothers

in the same bed. And it was in his parents' room. It was this weird attachment thing. The only one at school who didn't shower that morning. Oh, no. It's just weird attachment thing. The only one at school who didn't shower that morning. Oh, no. It's just New England. I don't know.

He would never run a comb through his hair. Oh, he smelled so bad. He always said he connected with Oliver Twist. I was like, that is so dumb. No, no, he was not poor. I think, whatever, he had more money than we did. He just wasn't spinning on ice. It was so annoying.

You'd go in there, want a cold drink, maybe some Sprite and a glass. Yeah, ice trays out. You know, yeah, ice trays out. Or like there's one piece of ice in there, and it's like, do I put it back in with one piece of ice, or do I reset the whole thing? You've got to fill it up at someone else's house. Whatever. So that's Scott.

Banks, good luck, man. You're going to need it. Good luck, Banksy. Wow. Scott's kind of on my doghouse. He's going to need it. Good luck, Banksy. Wow. Scott's kind of on my doghouse. He's in my doghouse. He could be on your doghouse. Oh, is this because he... Well, tell me why.

Because he freaking went to the BYU-KU game in BYU stuff and then complained about KU and how they get all the calls, and then KU lost the game. And I just... What would you have preferred him to do? Wear KU stuff. Okay. And root for KU stuff. Okay. And root for KU.

But he went to BYU. But I went to K-State. Yeah, that's weird of you, not weird of him. No, because we grew up... He didn't care that much about BYU growing up. But then he went to college there. So? That's a great reason to cheer for a team.

No. Yes, of course. But he doesn't... I don't know. Maybe he cares as much about BYU as KU. But he's been to hundreds of... I don't know how many games he's poor. He's probably been to one KU game in his life, but I don't know. Yeah. He went to like an exhibition game one time. No, he's been to plenty of K whatever. He was just, he was like, Oh, I get it now.

KU gets all the calls. I'm like, Scott, stop it. And then he had the audacity last night to text me and be like, pumped about this KU game tonight. I was like, don't talk to me about this. You're not one of us anymore. So you think he's got his foot in both camps, but then on one specific night he complained about KU getting the calls. Yeah. So it's like you don't have your foot in both camps.

Doghouse. Doghouse. You're foot in one normal house. One doghouse. With big old dog. One house made for a dog. No. Obviously, Scott's...

He can root for whoever he wants, but I was mad at him because KU lost. If KU won, sure. Wear whatever you want. It's too bad, Scott. Yeah, that's the circumstance. That's why you don't like... And he's like,

well, BYU needed this win more than KU did. And I'm like, well, you could say that about every team that's playing KU. So therefore, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Maybe Scott would like Communist Russia. I mean... Kind of meet in the middle. There youU. So therefore, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Maybe Scott would like Communist Russia. I mean,

kind of meet in the middle. There you go. New England, Jewish. I don't know. There's something there. Is there? I don't know.

I know. I would get a 25% on a history test right now, I think. I'm really bad with, like, I know, like,

kind of the World War II stuff, but I could probably only get 70% of, like, who was, kind of the World War II stuff, but I could probably only get 70% of, like, who was on whose side in World War II. I wish I knew more about history. Lucas was on the road with us this weekend, and we were actually talking about this. He made the point, he's like, I think who you had for history

makes such a big impact on how much you like history. Okay. Which I know you can probably say that about most teachers, but I feel like math is not much, your math teacher's not much you enjoy it. It's probably just how much you get it and how much you understand it. Because if you don't get math, it's no fun. And if you get math, it seems like it's always fun when I got math. Yeah.

And like history seems like, same with English maybe. Like you could figure out how to get good grades, but it doesn't mean you're going to enjoy it. Like those teachers really make an impact. And I don't remember ever having like a good history teacher. And I wish I did. Yeah. I had some cool ones, but I don't know ever having a good history teacher, and I wish I did. Yeah, I had some cool ones, but I don't know if they were that good. You know what I mean?

He was fun. We had fun themed days. Yeah. I don't remember what we talked about. He was like, for all students, he would have us over. He was like the coolest. Yeah. His party out Boston, he didn't work there anymore.

Mountain Dew always tasted funny, but I really liked the guy. I've maybe said this before on the podcast. One of the only history teachers I remember having, social studies, actually. Yeah. Seventh grade. It was always social studies.

Yeah. Yeah. Which is a confusing term. There's more to history than just history. Let's look at this. Yeah. But Mr. Davis, sorry, I'm going to say your name, but this is a weird thing for you to say when we were 13.

He was telling us about how to give a good speech, how to give a good presentation. This is history. We're not doing this. He's just kind of going off the record. Like, hey, by the way, if you want... The great orators in history. That's true. It started with the spoken word. He's like, you want to give a good speech? I always say it's a lot like a woman's skirt. You want to keep it short enough to keep things interesting, but long enough to cover the subject. Oh my gosh. That's like... You know what I'm talking about, Rachel? What's the subject?

What's the metaphor? I don't get it. Yeah, seventh grade. What's the difference between a skirt and a dress? I still don't know that. I struggle with that. I'm always like, Hattie, I love your dress. She's like, it's a skirt. And I'm like, okay. And it's so funny to Rachel when I mess that up too.

You should wear that, um, the, the, the pink skirt you have. Do you mean my dress? Oh my God. It is like, okay. Yeah. I don't know. Like, you know what I'm talking about? I see where they end.

I don't see where they start. Yeah. You're covering up where they start. It could go all the way up. I don't know. Yeah. You're layering a sweatshirt. A hundred percent.

It could go either way. Yeah. I don't see where it starts.'re layering up. Wear a sweatshirt. 100%. It could go either way. Yeah. I don't see where it starts. Show me the straps then. Yeah. Show me the straps. Prove me. Show me those straps.

Show me that far. Show me the straps then. Mr. Davis, so he's a creep. I don't know what he's up to now. Was he married? If we have any Stratford people still listening. Grant Holmes, you're still out there? Anybody else?

Grant Holmes was on the live stream the other day. Was he really? Pretty sure. GL Holmes or something like that. Okay. Dang, you know what? Grant didn't move to Stratford until ninth grade. He wouldn't even know about Creepo Davis.

Maybe he heard stories. Legends. Did, okay, small school, did everyone have the same history teacher? Yes, in like middle school. Yeah, you all would have just rotated. Like seventh grade history is Mr. Davis. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Second guess for a little bit, but yeah, yeah miss harrelton for english mr davis what about high school in high school there was slight differentiation but it was that was even just like classes though i think there was only one chemistry teacher it was just whether or not you took chemistry or if you were like advanced chemistry or something yeah i think so yeah not a lot of differences like you had spanish you're with senior westcott oh saying you're gonna see the spit build on the quarters of his mouth and it's all you're gonna be able to focus on you talk about a teacher like really affecting it i would have loved spanish and i had even a decent teacher i bet because i think that's how it's so interesting and i feel like i can learn it quickly but no

oh no we did not get along. That was Senior. Senior Westcott. You didn't get along. Yeah. I don't know. How so? He was always speaking another language. He was speaking gibberish at me. I couldn't understand him. I literally was like, from a different

planet. Westcott. Westcott. How's everything going for you, Jacob? good i went to philadelphia this weekend among a few other cities what was it sunny no it rained the whole time we were in philadelphia it's always rainy in philadelphia that's what they say uh what is your so alan and i had this conversation the night before in norfolk and i want to know what your thoughts, what are your thoughts about Philadelphia?

Like the people, the town, would you live there? What do you think about it? No, I would not live there. I hear just negative, negative things about it.

I think I love if I were from Philadelphia, I would be like, I would have overwhelming pride for my sports teams, but it seems like from what I understand about the city itself, it has gone way downhill, high crime, really big city. I think it's one of the biggest metropolitan, at least, in the United States. Top 10, at least. I visited there kind of recently, a couple years ago, with Sammy.

Cool guy, Sammy. And I enjoyed my time there. I didn't feel scared or anything but you see those videos have you seen the videos of those people just like just whatever ransacking no not ransacking um what are they they're on they're like addicted to something they're just like zombies yeah yeah i feel like that's often in philadelphia like that area so that, I think of that on, unfortunately. But I think I would weirdly, like I feel like the people of Philadelphia

have this stereotype of being so brash, so mean, so whatever. I think for whatever reason, I could crack them. You know, I could get in there and be friends with them. So those are my thoughts. Yeah, I was telling Alan, I was like, I think it'd be fun to be a sportsman here, but I was telling Alan I was like I think it'd be fun to be a sportsman here

but I don't think I would like the reputation of like Philadelphia we're the mean we're the mean crowd everyone knows this we're mean to our team and opposing teams

that's our shtick I don't think I would like that that's the vibe with my personality that's fair yeah but I feel like if you are one of them yeah I understand

like if you're not good yeah they're gonna hate on you hard. But like Jason Kelsey, it seems like Jason Kelsey has won their affection. They love on him hard. They love him so much. But then again, I don't know. I don't know if Donovan McNabb is loved in Philadelphia, and he was so good.

He didn't win a Super Bowl, but he was right there. Also, what was I going to say about Philadelphia? I don't know. Oh, it's just cold. It's like if you're going to live in a kind of unpleasant place and it's also just not great weather. Go to Jackson, Mississippi instead. Right.

That's what I've always said. Jackson, Mississippi. There's like the swamp. Similar town, but just warmer. Way warmer. The Philadelphia of the South. Yeah. That's what I think.

So anyway, we're having this conversation the night before. It's like, I don't know. It just feels like from what you see online and what you hear and it seems like philly is just like an agitated city correct and boy did that come to fruition oh i thought you were gonna say the opposite okay i wish it would have so uh we went to uh i found paddle the sport i'm obsessed with they have it in Philadelphia. The place, so it reads better than it talks. So it's called paddle is the first part of it.

And the last half of it is the last half of Philadelphia. So paddle-phia, padel-phia. Okay, I was going to say, I think everyone else I've heard that's talked about this sport is calling it padel. Well, see, I started calling it padel. And the people were like, what do you mean, paddle? I'm like, I can't please everybody, so I don't know. The Tracy Cooper tennis pro calls it Padel.

See, I started calling it Padel right off the bat because I saw a lot of Indian people playing it. And I was like, I bet it's Padel. Padel, Padel, something like that. Seriously, I'll admit, a little bit of appropriation going on. I was like, I mean, all the clips I see are like foreigners playing it. I bet it's Padel. Patel, Padel, something like that. Seriously, I'll admit, a little bit of appropriation going on. I was like, I mean, all the clips I see are like foreigners playing it. I bet it's Padel. And then they're like, no, it's paddle. Okay.

All right, guys, whatever. But that was Australia. Whatever. It's kind of like F or PHO. Oh, pho. Pho. Yeah. In Thailand, beautiful islands, PHI, PHI islands.

You think Fifi. No, unfortunately, it's the pp islands oh really no no h's anyway we didn't know how to pronounce it so we resorted to patofia yeah um patofilia is what we would call it uh and i don't know if michael ever saw it in print and i think he actually thought we were just going to Pedophilia the whole time. He's like, what? Yo, what's this place? Yo, Mikel's back, though.

Mikel is back. Yeah. And boy, is he back. So, yeah, this is where it starts. We're all getting in an Uber to... So we had weird bookings. It was like they didn't have just a nice three-hour session for us. So, like, you could do 11 to noon and then 2.30 to 4. Okay.

It's like, all right, we'll do that. We'll break for lunch. So we play for an hour. Because you're a pedophiliac. Pedophiliac. That's right. I love it. Yeah.

And one of the first Ubers of the weekend. It's pouring down rain in Philadelphia, and we're getting in this minivan, five of us, I guess. So we're trying to get in the back seat. You know, every car, how the seats lay down is different. There's not a universal way to do it. We're trying to figure it out. We can't figure out a way to get the seat all the way to like collapse.

But it's pouring down rain. This guy's just still in the driver's seat. Let's go. Oh, yeah. And so Trey's like, all right, I'll just hop over it, hop over the seat, which is not a hard hop.

It was just like, all right, the seat doesn't even be perfectly turned down. And Trey is as agile as they come. He is. He's a cat. And dude, the second Trey steps over the seat. Hey, hey, hey, hey. He just starts yelling at us.

And Trey's like, we're athletic. We're athletic. It's good. And it really, we've been in the rain for a while now. So then I step over the seat. You break my seat. You break my, I go, I didn't break your seat. Oh, wow.

I didn't even touch it. Yeah. He's going to charge you a thousand dollars. I didn't break your seat oh wow yeah he's gonna charge you a thousand break your so what do you mean how could i even possibly have broken a seat by stepping over look at it i i didn't break your seat so then we're in this like yelling match from the back seat to the front seat michael steps in my brother he goes my brother you gotta calm down this was a master class in like de-escalation. Wow. It was amazing. He was like,

you're taking things to another level right now? I see you calm down, my brother. You just gotta chill. He's like, you're talking disrespectful to my friends? I'm gonna wait until you start acting respectful, okay? And Mikel's like, I'm in the pouring rain.

I'm already sad right now. Why you gotta make me extra sad? Yeah, you wanna seek to be broken? I'm about to get it super wet and ruin it right now why you got to make me extra sad and yeah you want you want to seek to be broken i'm about to yeah get it super wet and ruin it right now it was really impressive just like in the moment like emotions are high and michael was just like i'm gonna let you and this guy is still talking why you mad me why you mad me michael's like i'm just gonna let you talk and when you're done talking then i'm gonna talk but i want your talk to end with an apology and this guy said why are you coming you You break my seat! My cousin, I'm still not hearing an apology.

And it was awesome. So eventually, so this guy, we're fully in the car now. He is safely driving us to our destination. And we're just screaming at each other. My Cal and this guy, basically, are just going back at it while he's just driving us around. Really? It was such a funny dynamic. So he's like still... He's like

putting on his blinker, being really safe. Hey, why are you mad at me? Excuse me for just a second. All right. He's like, he's like waving people like, thank you.

Yeah, you come on. Thank you. What? Come on. This guy's trying to break my seat. He breaks my seat. I only have three left.

That's wild. Anyway, the guy ended up apologizing and we, we really resolved things it was great good for michael dude so that's really i i he's gonna be a great dad someday it was amazing that's because that's what i do with kids but i don't think i could i don't think i have the stones to do it to an adult oh yeah it was kind of my heels a little bit this guy just like screamed at me i was like i didn't i't do anything. Yeah. And so that was awesome.

Next Uber we get into, I should say we try to get into. We're back at the, no, sorry. There's one more in between. We take two separate Ubers as we leave Patophilia. And we're going back to the venue. Isaac and I are one of them together. And he was like, all right like all right rivers casino here it is like we're actually going like to a side entrance over there um and he's like oh well the trip ended here like i've got to drop you here pouring down rain it's like it's just like right up there i

mean it's like maybe like two football fields it's it's not much but more than you want to walk in oh yeah like that you're gonna get soaked by the yeah like it's just like right right up here he's like uh you know that it says trip ended so i have to like let you out you're like you can't just drive us up here i'll give you five stars five stars right drop us out there he's like no i can't like dude what's with this town all right no big deal we go gather our stuff kind of a big deal kind of a bummer yeah also bummer about this day, this casino, it sounds like champagne problems, but no, no showers, no dressing rooms, nothing. It's not even a hotel. It's just a casino. That's all it is there. So it's just slot machines and card tables. You think they have enough plumbing to

have one bathroom or like one shower for you or something? Yeah. So they don't. So what we have to do is we have to go get hotel rooms. We go get a few hotel rooms and we all just take turns showering and whatever there throughout the day. So now we're to go get hotel rooms. We go get a few hotel rooms and we all just take turns showering and whatever they're throughout the day. So now we're having to get in other Ubers with all of our luggage and bags, Uber to these hotel rooms. So we grab an Uber XL.

We've all got our, our bags, but not a ton of baggage. And this guy pulls up his windows down. The car is never in park. I don't even know if he's ever fully stopped and just is like looking at us and is like, oh no, you guys got way too much,

way too much stuff. And we're like, well, why don't we just see if it can fit? Yeah, it's an Uber XL. And we have purposely packed light this trip because we didn't have much room on the bus. So we all have just like carry-ons with us. No, way too much stuff. Well, hey, can we just see if we could squeeze it in the back?

No, trunk's full, trunk's full. Like that's smarter of you to be driving uber xl with the trunk full and he's like no no no no that's it i'm out of here it just drives off also i'll just say still raining and so he just drives off we're all out there in the rain been waiting on him for a while with our luggage and so this guy still got his window down. Mikel yells at him. He's like, My brother! He goes, Yo, where you going? This guy hits the brakes and we're like,

Oh boy, what's going on now? Philly guy gets out of the car, slams his door, starts walking towards Mikel. One quick side note, his pants are undone

and they're kind of falling down. Pants are undone? Yeah, I was like, have you been given a lot of trips to Paddlefield yet today? Oh my gosh. What's going on? Pants are undone? Pants are undone and they're kind of falling down. Pants are undone? Yeah. I was like, have you been given a lot of trips to Paddlefield yet? Oh my gosh. What's going on? Pants are undone?

Pants are undone. It's kind of falling down a little bit on him. So I don't know what kind of move he's about to make on Mikel. This could be anything. Yeah. Thought about getting my phone out, starting recording. Then dude, it was just the most, like over here, you have this just like, just hard-nosed Philadelphia Uber driver. On the other side, you have a half Puerto Rican, half black guy who ain't budging.

And they just go back and forth. And just, I've never seen anything like it in person. Yeah, it was awesome. Like how? Tell me, give me. It was just like. Like, was Mikel still pretty calm about it? Not this time. Okay.

He apologized afterwards. Oh, really? I thought he was doing it just to entertain us. I didn't know he was even really upset. And I didn't mind it. I didn't think he needed to apologize. I thought it was awesome. You've seen stuff like this. Hey, you know,

Mikel's like, you can at least take half of us. Why you gotta drive away like that? Why you gotta be a prick like that? And this guy's like, I'm in America! I do whatever I want! Where you from? Where's like, I'm in America! I do whatever I want! Where are you from? Where are you from? I'm from America! It was like a second grade insult. Like, it's free country. It's free country. Do what I want.

And, uh, and Mikel's like, get out of here! You know, we don't even want to ride with you. And he's like, oh yeah, I'll do whatever I want! And it was just weird. Just, you know, just yelling. Wow. It's great. We, uh, we get done with it. This guy's just fired up. Screeching his tires, driving all

through the parking lot. Makes one last loop around to come get one last word in. Oh, really? He's still thinking about it. Yeah, still thinking about it. Drives back around close to us. Rolls down the window again and to Mike Kell says, see you later, fat boy. Nice.

Two things from this. One, he had about 20-25 seconds to come up with something. Oh man, how can I? You know, he was like, dang it, I can't think of anything. I wonder if he realizes he's above the BMI. This is America, so maybe just one of the, you know, just normal ones.

Second thing is we were getting such a kick out of it. So since the last time we've seen Mike Hill, he did 75 hard and he's actually lost 40 pounds just since November. So we were like yelling back, you should have seen him before. He was way bigger. You think this is big.

He did 75 hard. Two workouts every day. You have no idea how much bigger he used to be. If you only knew, dude. We wouldn't have tried to get him in this XL before. Dude, you don't even know. That's funny.

So he did not drive you? No, he just left. Anyway, that was just... I'm not even done telling Philadelphia stories, but that's just like a glimpse. Philadelphia, it's just like Isaac and I talked about even done telling Philadelphia stories, but that's just like a glimpse. And it's like Philadelphia, it's just like, Isaac and I talked about it. We're like, people love asking us,

what's your favorite city? Least favorite city? You know, and I wouldn't say Philadelphia is my least favorite city, but it does stand out. Yeah. Because I don't know, most cities are kind of the same to me. The people are the same. The businesses are the same.

But it's like, man, Philly was different. And even after the show, I ran into jason romell longtime ghosty of course football champion yeah and i don't even think he was trying to be funny but he's like how was your time in philly and i was like oh you know it's all right he goes did you get broken into this time i was like i forgot that's what i was gonna say reminder yeah last time you got your airbnb broken into oh yeah first two hours we were there broken into immediately amazing well philadelphia maybe this is the issue that you have in philadelphia it's not the people and be broken into. Oh, yeah. First two hours we were there, broken into immediately. Amazing. Well, Philadelphia, maybe this is the issue

that you have with Philadelphia. It's not the people. It's the fact that that's rich in history and you don't know that much about history because of Mr. Davis. Is that it?

Maybe I'm lashing out on Mr. Davis. I don't know if you know this. I'm pretty sure, time and back me up on a Google search. Just search Philadelphia 1776. I'm pretty sure

the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia. So, I mean, if you knew that, maybe you'd have a little more sympathy on them. They say Independence Hall, but I thought that was in Missouri. I thought it was Independence, Missouri. Independence, Missouri.

Yeah. Scott likes Independence, Missouri more. National treasure can only teach you so much. That's right. Yeah, that was Philadelphia. Obviously. No, not obviously. Obviously.

I mean mean they sold Declaration of Independence but I don't know here in Boston a little bit Philly a little bit yeah all right well um I mean those are great stories that I don't think I could top by any means because once again this week it's a broken record at this point it's it's coming to a resolution but I've been Mr. Mom still. I've just been still struggling. Went from Hattie, then Bo and Rosie got it a little bit. But Catherine continues to not feel awesome.

And so it's been a tough time for her. She's cried to me multiple times, like, you're doing so much. Thank you. And I'm like, yes, I'm not going to leave you out here. You're a team. Yeah, exactly. Team. Um, so anyway, I have, I have lots of little things here and there. Um, one thing just randomly, I went, she ordered some clothes online. That makes me sound like she's been sick, but she ordered stuff online. Uh, but I went and picked them up the other day

at legends. Legends is a, like a shopping district where she bought things online, but didn't have them shipped to your house? She said it was way cheaper to have it pick up from the store. Gas ain't free. I didn't question it. I said, that's fine. You know, whatever. And so she was resting one day, and I was like,

I'm going to go do this while the kids are napping, whatever. So on Saturday. That also sounds like something I wouldn't question either. But in my head, I'd be like, how is this saving us money? Well, I'll just tell you this the legends is alive and well dude like i feel like i feel like shopping centers and just brick and mortar in general is just like dying like the mall dude it was hard for me to find a parking spot like legends is like that it was a saturday and it was a very nice day on a saturday but like

still it was wild dude um legends that's the. But like still, it was wild, dude. Legends, that's the place that has like the AMC. Yeah, Kansas City, Kansas. I like the Legends. Over by Sporting KC. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. Or by the NASCAR track.

You probably know. That's probably your point of reference. NASCAR track. T-Bone. KC Monarchs. There was a Fudd Records over there. Right? We're out of business. Right.

Ring any bells. Dave and B's, I think. Yeah, there's a JCPenney over there. Dave and Buster's. There used to be a dinosaur cafe. No longer. Ah, COVID. Struggling.

Anyway, yeah, genuinely, there's been businesses coming in and out. So I'm like, this place, yeah, it's going to be dead or whatever. It's not going to be crazy. It was crazy. And then, dude, specifically this one place, I'm trying to think if I could have you guess what it is. I'll say this. So Legends is. I'll, I'll, I'll say this. So legends is kind of like an outdoor shopping mall. Like it's like, you know,

strip mall kind of, kind of like a Branson landing or whatever. Um, and so this place is popular in malls, but I counted on my way back from picking up these clothes, how many people just to not over-exagger, 47 people were in line for this place. TCBY. On the similar track to that? It's a mall kind of spot. Food or retail? Food.

Food? 47 people. Auntie Anne's. Yes, Auntie Anne's. 47 people? What's so special about Auntie Anne's? That's a little too much. I was like, maybe they're doing a free pretzel day or something. I was trying to find a promotion,

trying to find a sign. And it was just people at legends love Annie Anne's. I don't know. That is kind of fascinating. It was up. It was out the door and far around the corner. I mean, good for it.

I was like, what is, you know, whatever. Carl Malone signing autographs, Annie Anne's or something. Carl Malone. I don't know. I was trying to think of somebody's, you know, whatever. Karl Malone signing autographs at Annie Ann's or something? Karl Malone. I don't know.

I was trying to think of somebody random. Is Olivia Rodrigo? There you go. Selena Gomez? She's up there. Is Haley Steinfeld? Good. Who else, Tymon?

What other female celebrities do you know? Is Billie Eilish signing autographs? Is Dua Lipa signing autographs is Law from Pickleball signing autographs. They're trying to say Lov, like the musician, L-A-U-V. Isaac was into them for a half minute. Him, whoever, her. That is interesting. 47. Quite a few.

47. Anyway. Kind of wild. Just like... I don't know. What are they putting in those pretzels? I'm a sucker for a nice anian's pretzel if I'm on a layover. It's 9 a.m., so I'm like, I'm not ready for lunch. I don't want a burrito right now, but I gotta get something to hold me over.

I don't know when we're eating lunch. Hell, I'll get some salt. Get some carbs. Okay, so you go salt. Yeah, almost always. They make them like cinnamon too, right? Yeah, that's a dessert. I don't think I've ever had any ants in my life. Whoa. Ever? I don't think. How'd you never just have one

at a high school mall or anything? Yeah, growing up, I just I was always too cheap, I think, for high school malls. It smelled so good. It smelled so good. I don't think I've ever had Cinnabon. Okay. Which always smelled nice. I have had Orange Julius.

That ranks third in the three things you just mentioned. Is that right? You should have had Annie Ann's and Cinnabon instead. Because I loved Orange Julius, so I should have tried, I will try the other ones. Yeah.

Resolve. Annie Ann's is good. About 10 years or so ago, they came out with pretzel bites. Nice. Pop those things in your mouth instead of the traditional pretzel. Sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. The greener. Okay. Um, okay. What do you think? Maybe it's just me becoming more and more of a glutton,

but I feel like my, um, definition of a snack has kind of evolved. Like, cause you were like, it's a good, like a little snack pret but I feel like my, um, definition of a snack has kind of evolved. Like, cause you're like, it's a good, like a little snack pretzel. I was like, yeah, that is a good snack. Sometimes I'm like, I'm not like hungry for like a big meal, but like I need a little snack. It's like two 30. And sometimes I'll like get a burger. I don't know if that's allowed to be a snack. I don't see a burger as a snack. I don't think just like one, like McDonald's burger. I think like one, dude's allowed to be a snack. I don't see a burger as a snack, I don't think. Just like one McDonald's burger.

I think like one. Dude, I know. This is America. This is America. One little McDonald's cheeseburger. It's like the cheeseburger on the menu. Let's be honest. It's a McDouble because that's what they have deals on.

On the app, I feel like McDouble is never very discounted. It used to be. I don't do it. I'm trying to eat healthier, so I haven't done it lately. But it used to be McDouble and fries for $2 or something like that. Oh, yeah.

That's kind of a meal. I know. That's what I'm saying. It was McDouble and small fries. It's like McDonald's knows what they're doing with that. That's true. I don't know if I've gotten to a point

where I think a burger is a snack. As far as going out and getting something, what's a snack to you? Pretzels. To me, an acai bowl is a snack to Rachel. It's a meal. And see,

that's what I'm trying to get. Not away, but like trying to do more, not as much sweet stuff. And so I say, yeah, I agree. That's kind of a snacky thing.

Quick trip has a whole like thing about this, but the word doesn't make sense. Oh yes. Yeah but that doesn't even like something it's not a good combination it's a snack it's a meal of course it's a snack meal yes it says s-n-a-c-k-l-e yeah yeah that's not even you didn't combine them true l-e where'd you get l-e yeah snackle but we're talking about it so making me mad just thinking about it that's pretty dumb the whole word snack and then le from meal which aren't even in the right order couldn't be sneal yeah it's a snail it's a snackle anyway i don't know i i i've tried to check myself in that though recently i'm like man i just i i didn't really eat very much for lunch it's still like four hours till dinner i should should get a snack. And it's like, that's not a snack. That's just a

poorly constructed meal. Yeah. Just first dinner. Yeah. I'm like, okay, I'll have a second one later. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know what I want to get. That's a snack. So sometimes I'm just trying to not get any snacks. Yeah. Anyway. More Philly things? More Philly things. First one. I am on stage. I'm doing my Kennedy convertible joke, yada, yada. If you've been there, you know it.

And so I'm just setting it up. And I usually set it up by saying I fly to Dallas just because I think it's like a, if you know the history, then you know the JFK assassination really did take place. Just a little, just Easter egg for people really paying attention. I always just say that, like, I tell this made up story as if it was in Dallas. Anyway, I always say that. I don't think about it.

And so I say, so a few months ago, we flew into Dallas. The second that comes out of my mouth, they go bananas on me. I've never been treated like this on stage before. Like it wasn't just like, like there was a time where in Buffalo where I said, go chiefs. And they were booing. And it was like,

I get this. This makes sense. But even then that ended pretty quickly. And we were all laughing about it. And this was like a legitimately just like, granted I'm performing in a casino. Not as many of our true fans are there. But yeah, so a few months ago I flew into Dallas.

Oh, boo! Go birds! Yeah, yeah. Go birds! They're all singing and spelling eagles and going crazy. For about a second or so, I couldn't even figure out the connection. So for those who don't know, the Philadelphia Eagles are rivals of the Dallas Cowboys.

But it's not football season. I didn't say I went to the Cowboys game. You didn't say you're from Dallas. I went to the Dallas airport. Yes. God forbid. You guys have been to the Dallas airport before. I know half you guys have done it.

What's so bad about that? A comedian can't set up a joke by saying he went to Dallas. It was crazy being treated that way. It was unbelievable. So I just let them scream for like eight seconds probably. Just let them say, all right, get out of your system. Just get rid of that before Trey gets up here. Just the word Dallas triggered them that much.

It was wild how insecure they were. Yeah. And so, yeah, just screamed at me for like eight seconds about the town of Dallas. And so then I just made fun of them for a while about how insecure they were and just how you can't take me saying another, you know, fan base's city. Yeah, like I said, it'd be one thing if you had a personal connection to Dallas. If you said, I grew up and born and raised in Dallas, Texas.

You know, people will like, oh, we don't like that town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like one person, if they're from Dallas, cheers, whatever, people, whatever. But it's like, for you to just be like, I was reading a book the other day and it mentioned Dallas. Boom! Books suck! Books that have Texas in them are the worst!

Yeah! Go Birds! That's what it was like. Nick Sirianni's like leading the charge in the front. See ya! Yeah. He might have been there. He was leading the charge dude it was

unbelievable but i was like i guess i should win him back so then i end up making some joke about how well what i tell you guys uh what was the joke even basically like when i flew there it was late january so the cowboys weren't playing anyway so there you go and so whatever um neither were the eagles boom boom roasted! Roasted! Go, Birds! Our Kelsey still plays for us. That's pretty funny. So, yeah. Just wild.

Just felt weird. So, I don't know. No, it's great. I went to a KU basketball game last night. Not against BYU. Oh, nice. You go to a lot of KU games. I've been to three this year.

Yeah. That's not very many. Oh, it's not? Not compared to last year. How many home games do they have in a year? 25, maybe? Holy cow. 25 home games?

Am I wrong? 20? Yeah, 22. 22. I haven't looked it up real quick. I don't know. Maybe not that many. I feel like I've not gone to very many. Gotcha. 22. I haven't looked it up real quick. I don't know. Maybe not that many. I feel like I have not gone to very many.

Gotcha. Anyway, I went to one a couple months ago, then I went to this one. Anyway, but they played K-State. It was fun. I have a few random, what's the word? Musings. Observations. Observations, yes, about the game. First of all, funny story.

I was meeting my dad there. He went to dinner beforehand with some friends. So I was meeting him there. And classic dad, I'm like, Dad, let's get there at 7.15. Game starts at 8. He calls me at 7 o'clock. He's like, hey, just checking where you are. I'm at the front gates.

I'm like, well, Dad, we said 7.15. Okay, well, I'm just hanging out here. I'll just be here whenever you're ready. And I'm like well dad we said 715 okay well I'll just I'm just hanging out here I'll just be here whenever you're ready and I'm like alright well I was like well dad you could just screenshot your phone and send me my ticket and then you can go in I was like do you want a screenshot he's like I think so

I was like yeah you just press the two buttons on the side he's like yeah yeah well maybe I'll just wait for you out here I don't know and then like six minutes later yeah, yeah. Well, maybe I'll just wait for you out here. I don't know. And then like six minutes later, took him a while, but he sent me a screenshot of a ticket. How much later did you end up getting there?

I got there at 7. I parked at 7.15, so I probably didn't get there until 7.22. He was a little, yeah. That's just a classic dad. Like, hey, let's get there at 7.15. He'll be there at 7 waiting for you, you know, kind of thing. So you can't really be earlier than my, my dad places, but that's fine. Um, a few funny things. Just, yeah, I got, I got three, three things about basketball games. One of them, it's amazing without fail, Jake, and you'll, you, you understand

this. Cause I think as a basketball player, somebody who's played plenty, this isn't super common, but it's also not rare enough to elicit the reaction that it gets. Can you imagine what I'm about to say? No. When somebody shoots the ball and the ball goes in between the rim and the backboard and gets stuck, a wedgie and people every time without fail, the entire crowd seems like it's never seen this before and just goes bonkers for it. I will say I've never heard it called a wedgie. No? No. Is that a new term?

Maybe. Played basketball all my life, never heard wedgie. I don't think I'd ever really heard of it until recently, so maybe it is recent. Yeah. Cool. Either way, I'm with you, though. The same thing happens in pro pickleball. I'm sure we all know this.

Ernie? No. happens in pro pickleball i'm sure we all know this ernie no when the ball uh kind of just um just glances the net and then rolls over it they call it a net roll it's like this thing that happens on accident these boomers in the crowd can't help themselves oh people like meme it and make fun of it really these people can't help themselves every single time i feel like i'd be right there with them yeah yeah yeah like that seems that seems it really these people can't help them pose every single time I feel like I'd be right there with him yeah yeah yeah like that seems that seems cool

to me I feel like I'd be like oh look at that well that stopped it for a second it's fair but it's like how many of these people have never watched a basketball game before like it's one thing if like time has never been to a basketball KU game that's true he's there and this happens he's like I didn't that the physics of that what the but I mean so many people are just diehard ku fans they're like know all the chants know all

like the clapping cadences for all the different cheers and yet when a ball goes in between a rim and a backboard it is mind blowing oh no way no way no way no way uh so wrote that down can i ask you a question what percentage of men and women do you think are screaming at this? I mean, maybe not as many as it seems, but I would say 40%. Screaming? Sorry, I'm asking men versus

women. Oh, I see. It's a funny way to just refer to people. So what percentage of the men and the women are screaming? Don't exclude. No children. No children. Kids. We understand. They're going to be floored. I don't know. That just seems... I'm just generalizing.

How many people live in the United States? Men and women? Men and women. Non-binaries? Forget them. I don't know. I... I think women scream a lot more. I was going to say, though. Yeah, I I understand that's where you're going with it, but there were plenty of men around me,

like some old men that were like, Oh, I'm like, Hey, Robert, we've seen this before. I've only been to three games this year. I think it's happened another time.

Um, and it's also not that impressive because it means that you missed a shot pretty badly by quite a bit. Yeah. Um, anyway, so that was funny. That happened. And then a few different things. Oh, the game on the screen, you know, it's not just basketball,

but like every sporting event does it these days on the Jumbotron where they put the ball under one helmet or one basket or whatever. Where's it at? Maybe it's not. I know it's not probably intended for 33-year-old men, but it has got way too easy. I was frustrated with how easy. What percentage of men and women

children do you think got it right? 100% of everybody. It was over and I just looked at my dad and I was just like, oh. I was just disappointed that it's not over. And then it just stopped moving and it shows you the numbers. I'm like, it's number one. Of course.

And then people went nuts for that when they got it right. Last thing. Hold on. I have something to say about that. Okay. I really enjoyed back in the day when I was, my first job, scorekeeping, Springfield Cardinals games. You go to enough of the games, you see a lot of the same tricks.

Then it became fun to guess before the game would start. Okay. Really liked doing that. Yeah. On the alternative side of things, typically you'd see a ketchup relish mustard race. Yes. And that is where you would typically guess beforehand and just kind of randomly guess. But you go to enough Springfield Cardinals games, you start learning, like, all right, who's in the suit today?

Like, oh, yeah. Oh, they're always live? You're saying? Yeah, they would do it like an actual person is sprinting. Because the Royals games back in the day, sometimes it was live. A lot of times it was just a computer thing. And it was never the guy in the lead at the beginning that would win.

Yeah, like Mario Kart. You almost want to be behind at the beginning. Right, right. Yeah, so maybe in the future you go to enough KU games where you're just like, you're sitting back relaxing. I don't even need to watch. I've got to guess two. Yeah, right. Yeah, so maybe in the future, you go to FKU games where you're just like, you're sitting back relaxing. I don't even need to watch. I've got to guess two. Yeah, easy, yeah.

So yeah, you're sizing up the people. You're like, listen, if you're too skinny, you're not going to be that fast. But like that guy, I mean, Mikel's not going to win. Yeah, and I feel like I started to get to know some of these people

they were choosing too. It was like, that's that dark-headed kid. I think he was catch up yesterday and won. He's in mustard today. There's like eight people at the game, so they're like, yeah, he's a returning vet. Yeah, you can be mustard today. You want it, sure.

Yeah, it's always a good time. Yeah, well, at the Royals games back in the day with the alternating helmet thing. Find the ball. Find the ball. Sometimes the helmet would go off the screen for a second. No, that's not right. But that made it way harder.

Maybe that's, I just have a high of a standard there. So then the last thing, just a pet peeve in sporting events in general, most sporting events, basketball included, have plenty of times where there is no action. Like there's a dead ball, foul, out of bounds, whatever. People need to understand, same with football, baseball, wait until there's one of those moments to go past somebody in the row. Yeah. There was, I mean, there was a time where it was a fast break, which means that sometimes you get like a dunk or something really exciting. And this guy just walked right in front of me. And I was like, you know, I was

trying to like almost make it dramatic. Like how much I was trying to look around. Like, oh! So that's a pet peeve of mine. That's warranted. And that, to people who don't understand sports, like, big whoop, they'd go to the back. But I get that. Yeah, and it's just like, especially like football, where there's 40 seconds of nothing before there's six seconds of a play.

There's such little time of play. Yeah, like, you just to wait for a second. Like same with baseball. I mean, there's one pitch and then there's however many seconds of dead time

where you have plenty of time to get back to your seat. Yeah. So just think about it, guys. So just think about just if you guys can pray about it. Think about it.

How about mainstreamroasters.com? You guys know about it? company excluded excluded included men and women do you guys know about it uh mainstream.com they sponsor our podcast ever heard of it they sell coffee ever tasted it ever tried it?

But nonetheless, here we are. Behold, AI face swaps of Jake and Brad. Tymon, you got to put these on the screen later. Mark this down to edit and post because there's a picture of Jake as Top Gun Maverick. There's a picture of me as School of Rock, Jack Black. And I'm obsessed with this picture of myself. The only comment I see right now says, now this is why we get on Facebook. Oh, yeah. There's just comments after comments already. Five comments. Yeah. I feel like Scott

would be upset if he saw this one. We both blend into these pictures really well. I look like that is me in that picture. It's AI. He said like AI face swap. But still, how many times have you been like, hey, AI, generate me this kind of picture and gives me eight fingers or something. That's true.

You know? Well, yeah. The fingers are already in place here. That's true. Wow. That is so fun. That's awesome. I want to make that every single one of my pictures

that I can make it. Because that's not like I've never... This is awesome. I can't stop staring at it. Because that picture of me doesn't exist. Like I've never... I don't think that he took a picture of me going like this. You know what I mean?

I'm commenting now. He like somehow trained it on you guys' faces or something. Like Jake... Yeah, Jake has not done that like thing with his lips ever. That is like... Creepy. Yeah. But awesome. faces or something like jake yeah jake has not done that like thing with his lips ever that is like creepy yeah but awesome awesome so make 30 more as long as they use it for stuff like this hey jake that was great now do it 40 more times yeah i said that last night during volleyball under my breath just so rachel could hear it like a guy uh spiked it and we didn't have a blocker i

mean this guy hit it so hard and it hit off my arms and, you know, went to the side and I was like, yeah, do it 40 more times. Try that again.

Yeah. Yeah, you think you can do that? Do it 40 more times. Do it 40 more times. Dude, last night we played an undefeated team

in volleyball. Still undefeated or? Luke Hoagland text, hey, going to KU game. I say, Luke, they have 25 of them a year.

dude, come on. Not a huge deal. He says, I think that's KU game. I say, Luke, they have 25 of them a year. Yeah, dude, come on. Not a huge deal. He says, I think that's way too many. I said, all right. I said, I'm looking it up. No problem. Kalen, Brant, Jenna Brant's,

oh, okay. Our other Division I volleyball player says, hey, can't make it. I said, guys, we're playing the undefeated team. Don't you understand this is a big deal to me? I go out and I get Trey Kennedy. I go out and I get

no one else. Can't find anyone. But what I do is this. I go click, click, click. No, what I do is I get there a little early and I start scouting. And luckily, the last time I scouted for talent, this girl could have been underage. This time,

everyone was old and I was looking at dudes. Yeah, found the most flamboyant one possible and got them on the team. And yeah, three sets to none. We beat the undefeated team last night.

It was a ton of fun. It was a blast. So we got the tournament next week. So Tuesday night, find out if we can win the championship. So how does the tournament work? Similar to how the basketball one does? It's interesting.

They take the top seven teams. It seems like a tough bracket. I guess the one seed gets the buy and then single elimination from there. Yeah, really kind of a weird bracket to set yourself up for it. But anyway, yeah. So, yeah, it was a ton of fun last night.

I met new friends, and yeah, went 3-0. It was a blast. Maybe, depending on what time you play, we could come root you on. Oh, that's fun. They haven't, because it's a tournament,

we don't know a set time when we play it, so they haven't announced it yet. Okay, let me know. I say you come to Hy-Vee Arena at 7pm. That's probably safe. You're going to see some action, probably. Hattie can wear her cheerleading costume. Oh, that'd be a blast. Wouldn't that be awesome? That would be

so fun. Dude, you should come, any model should come to just to see, and I know I've talked about this for two years, to see Rachel and Isaac together. Really? Because Rachel is one of the best in the world at what she does, setting a volleyball. And no one gets higher than Isaac McDonald.

Yeah. And so if he's on, no one can stop him. Right. It's awesome. Has he been fairly injury-free recently? Yes. And he's getting better and better. The last two weeks, I've been like,

dude, we got to get you some single women to start coming to these games. They need to see what you're doing out here. Because you're doing really impressive things, and only us five see it.. Like they need to see what you're doing out here because you're doing really impressive things and only us five see it. And more people need to see what you're doing on the volleyball court. Let's, let's let them watch. Let them watch. Let them spike. Let them bump. Let them sit. Let them watch. That's fun. Cause I remember somebody posted way back in the day on the Facebook group, like a Rachel Coop highlight or something, or like an interview thing with Rachel. And

in between some of our interviews,'d show things and I'm like I was very impressed. I didn't know that's how you set things. Like sometimes you just like shoot it over to the over like over the net or something. Yeah. Like you can do that's allowed. That was that looks unstoppable. She had one set last night that I like I

referred to her as Dirk Nowitzki because it was truly she got a bad pass and she's fading away. And on one foot, like shoots it all the way across the other side of the court to Isaac. And he spikes it and he gets the kill. And I was like, that was amazing.

And she's like, that's just like what you practice. That's what I had to do for five years. I'm like, no, I don't accept that. That was amazing. I've never seen anyone else do that.

That was awesome. That is funny. Yeah. She's just used to it, but the rest of us are like, that looks impossible. I get a perfect pass right to my body, and I don't know if it's going to go. She dies.

I think I got it. It's not a given that I can do this. And so, yeah, I really appreciate it. So, yeah, volleyball's fun. I met a whole crew of volleyballers at the blackjack table Friday night in Philadelphia. So one good thing about Philadelphia, I made some best friends.

Oh yeah. This was like, you know, I thought of you because they were one day friends. Okay. Trey was at a table. Isaac was at a table. It was just packed. It was really full.

So I was like, I'll wander around. And there was a crew of like four dudes all in their twenties playing blackjack together. I was like, this looks like, they look like friendly faces. This looks awesome. It's when you can tell they're together, it's like way more fun.

Yes. And so I snuck in there and we had a blast for two hours i just became best friends with these guys yeah and you were their libero yeah well funny you say that too oh did i already say volleyball yeah two of them played college volleyball one of them knows rachel's you and i coach because he is still in like the volleyball circuit coaches club wow knows all this so oh we had a had a good time it was so fun out that they were volleyball guys um i mean just two hours worth of talking it just came up i guess uh i don't know how but yeah that was really fun and yeah we all won money we all won big together

this one guy won two thousand dollars he bet ten dollars on the poker hand and he was dealt like suited queens like lucky ladies or whatever this casino had and won two grand and just got up and walked away we didn't see him the rest of the night oh really i don't know where he went or what he did good for him he never came back um but afterwards i was like should we do like a jersey swap like i feel like we just had like a great game together like we almost did in the casino i was like ready to take my shirt you're like shirtless isaac's looking over you just hold it up i was like everybody seen jake oh my god she's shirtless isaac's looking over you just hold it up i was like everybody's seen jake oh my god she's shirtless over there with those volleyball players um that's great had a great time uh which reminded me they saw uh they asked me what i was doing there i was like oh i performed tonight oh that's cool we just got back from a comedy show we saw andrew schultz tonight okay i was

like oh i saw andrew schultz this morning at pedophilia i forgot to mention that earlier oh really he was in the paddle court next to us. Pedal. Pedal court. Next to us. I just love, sorry, I'm just imagining, you know, YouTube has like a transcript of like what we say.

And like, I'm sure YouTube's trying to figure out the algorithm of like, who do we share this with? I saw Andrew Schultz at Pedophilia. Yeah, good luck algorithm. Who's this one for? That was kind of fun. Yeah, good luck, algorithm. Who's this one for? That was kind of fun. It was really cool because this is the first

instance I've ever had of seeing someone that I follow online and occasionally I listen to their podcast sometimes. And it was that feeling of why doesn't he look at me like I look at I know you. Oh, wait, he doesn't know me. I'd be like, dude, you should know me. We're both comedians. That was your podcast. You have no idea who i am though you say something no really i mean

he was in the middle of playing we were we were never both not playing at the same time yeah it's not like something you can just like yell over it's the kind of thing yeah okay um if you guys don't know you got plexiglass very famous comedian like kind of a rising star in the comedy world one of the top 10 probably right now yeah nailed it um but yeah yeah he's the man so it was cool it was fun to feel that feeling of like i know him and he doesn't know i exist this is cool that's what's crazy though did you see that clip of steph curry and shane gillis meeting each other and steph he's like hey what's up i'm shane steph curry's like yeah i know who you are like what if all he's got to do is see like three videos of you and at least he knows your face you know what i mean yeah like Trey is big enough and you've been, you're with Trey and like, whatever, like he might,

at least like if you said something to him and that would be wild to me. Like that would be wild to me. Like, you know, like if, if Patrick Mahomes is like, I recognize you, man. And I'm like, no way that could happen. That's what I'm saying. Like it could happen because there's so many people. I don't know their names online, but at least if I saw them and they mentioned like yeah i make videos like oh dude yeah totally i've seen you online yeah you know what i mean i remember hearing a first-hand account that someone saw tiger woods

watching one of our mood swings videos no that's fun way so if that could happen patrick holmes for sure yeah seen a couple of our videos well i mean not not on the same plane at all, but when Jeff Bethke was like, yeah, I listen to their podcast sometimes. It's a great podcast. I was like, no way. Yeah. Dave Ramsey commented on your video. That's true too.

He knows us. Oh, Dave. Rice and beans. Okay. Random question for you, Jake. Go ahead. Catherine asked me this. I think it was genuinely out of the blue.

Kind of a fun thought, though. I talked about Instagram Live. So if you've been on the live, you saw it. I saw you live at midnight last night. Oh, yeah. I was like, I wonder what happened. You guys were awake? No, of course I wasn't awake.

I think I saw it in the morning. I think I was awake, but didn't have my phone with me. Because I was like, what is Brad talking about at 1130 at night? Because that's why I texted you guys. Because I realized you were still awake at 11.45. So that's why I was like, hey, just FYI, I will get the titles and descriptions. Oh. Because I knew you were awake.

Uh-huh. So that's what you know. I didn't even... I do not disturb after 10 or whatever. So I didn't even... Livestream only. Livestream only. I got back from the KU game at like 11.30 and I hadn't done my quick cues or my phony

phrases yet. Oh, gotcha. And so I read like, I had written like maybe 10 quick cues down and then a few phony phrases. I was like, ghosties will help me with these. Nice. Went live, had the phone right here, had my computer, had some good times together. My phony phrases are so stupid. They're so phony. They're so stupid. I can't wait. Wednesday's got to be a great episode. Live episode or live, live stream. I asked this question. Catherine asked to me. She's like, what if we were given $500,000 today? What would we do today if we got $500,000?

I think about this stuff all the time. But she's like, but she's like, literally, I mean, I mean, what would we do today? She's like, not not this afternoon. And that because like, not what would we do with the money? What would we like? Would we buy a nice house? Would we do this? Would we like, not, not what this afternoon and that, cause like, not what would we do with the money? What would we like? Would we buy a nice house? Would we do this? Would we treat ourselves with this sweet trip or whatever? She's like, what would we do today? Like what, like, what would our, like, what would your life look like? How would your immediate life change? How would, yeah. Today. That's right. Cause like, I don't know. I think I could pay off the house

in a day. I'd go on. I would do it. Would you? I would. Yeah. Get it right. Because like, I don't know. I think I could pay off the house in a day. I'd go on. I would do it. Would you? I would. Yeah? Get it done. Just get it out of there.

Every day you don't, more interest. I think I would. I mean, yeah. If the money's in your account, I would go to whatever it is, movementmortgage.com. Yeah. And I would say I'd like to make a payment. Uh-huh. $264,000 or whatever it is. That would feel awesome, dude.

Okay. Okay. All right. So there's that. I would do that. Okay. I don't know. All right, your turn.

Let me think. I have thought about it a little bit because I'm like, I don't know. I already, this is, I realized this personality as I was thinking about these things. I was like, I am so tight with money or so cheap sometimes where I, like, I was already like thinking like, well, I don't want to spend too much on the first day. Cause then it's just like going to be run out before we even did anything. Like, cause I was like, we could, I was like, Catherine, we should go buy new furniture for our house. And then I was like, well, that's going to cost probably if we, if we did it right, 10 grand or 20 grand or something, if we were really going crazy with it. And then all of a sudden we'd only have 480 grand

left. Like that's how crazy I am. That's how, that's how of a sudden, we'd only have $480,000 left. That's how crazy I am. That's how I'm like, we're wasting this money. And then we're not even putting this furniture. We're buying it for this house, but then we're going to buy a newer house with it. All these different things. And so I thought and I said, we would do some very minor splurgy things. Like, Hattie, what do you want to do? You want to go get the biggest Andy's ice cream ever?

Let's do it. But we would do it in a limo. I would hire a limo and we would all drive all over the city in a limo together as a family. That's fun. Then you'd put the rest toward that estate in Bucyrus, Kansas. Remember that? Yes, dude.

The rest goes to that. Any ghosties want to invest in that estate with us, I think it's still for sale. Seven million. Estate's a great word. I think it's still for sale. $7 million. Estate's a great word. You know it's nice if they say estate. Estate sale? You don't have a three-bed, two-bath estate.

No, you don't. That's fun. Yeah, I need to be thinking of more fun ideas like that. Everything I'm thinking of is practical. It's like, well, I could... Good for you. You're growing up. Let's see. What if I just like Venmo'd a bunch of people $1,000?

That's fun, too. That would be fun. But then all of a sudden, you bunch of people $1,000? That's fun too. That would be fun. But then all of a sudden you only have $480,000. That's great. Yeah, just out of the blue. I think I would do it. You can only get through like five before Venmo's like, I think you're getting passed.

Thumbs up. Yeah, I want to do it a fun way where like each person that gets Venmo'd, they also get sent an old video or picture of us or something together. I think that's how I would do it. Okay. Like, hey, thinking of you, what's your Venmo? Like, oh, you just want to send me a Venmo because of this old video of us?

Yeah, yeah. It's $1,000. How'd you get this? I don't know. Brad gave it to me. Brad gave me $500,000 in this scenario. Don't ask. Yeah.

Another one that somebody said on the live stream, Instagram. Cool feature, dude. It's wild. They said, and then I was like, that's awesome. Is they were like, I would call up five of my friends and say, meet me at the airport. And we just look at flights and we would just find a flight and just go there. Yeah. Like today, how fun would that be to go to the airport? It seemed, it seemed pretty sketchy to TSA, probably to be like, I don't know. Next flight. Yeah.

But like you just go and you just figure it out. That sounds awesome. With the boys, just like no plans. We'll just figure it out as we go. Yeah. Doing our golf trip, you and Garrett. Sports book. Yeah.

Yeah. Garrett and I just, yeah, we put our money in the sports book. Oh, that sounds fun. So many things you could do. I would be out of the money quick. Tymon, you got any ideas? I don't know. I like the idea of just having a spontaneous no money limit trip. That sounds awesome.

Yeah. Yeah. But see, that's where I think no money limit, that could really get out of hand quick, and then you lose all your money like 500 000 i'm like that's that's so like that's so much money but then i'm like but it could go but that's so little when in like your if you if you go too extravagant exactly yeah it's like almost just like well i could just live my life but just like a little bit less worried about money yeah and. And I barely am right now. I'm like 17 years old. So like,

but yeah, I don't know. Catherine was like, I mean, I think I'd maybe go to McLean's and get like a really nice coffee. Maybe get alternate milk instead of just whole milk, like milk in there or something. You go crazy.

Yeah. My other idea initially. And then I was like, well, that's not as fun as driving around a limo, but maybe I put a down payment on a house in Kansas City. Don't tell my parents about it until

they're ready to move to Kansas City and then say, surprise, I got a house for you. That's cool. Something like that. Yeah. That'd be fun. Your dad would cry buckets. You'd cry so hard. Buckets. That's fun. Would you ever do it

would you do anything spiteful with the money give me an example I don't I can't even think of something spiteful to do you go to the Nexa pickleball courts

and you you put up ten thousand dollars worth of signs that say stop leagues you go to the Nexa pickleball courts and say I'll give you one thousand dollars

to be in my league and it meets here every night for the next three weeks. Yeah, something like that. You saw what I put on the Alexa Pickleball page. Let's talk about it. Oh, dude, wait.

I would make a sick movie or film. That'd be awesome. Where would the money go? Towards talent or crew? I think I'd just budget it out as well as I can. New Zealand flights? It's like a $500,000 movie, I feel like.

You would spend it all on one movie. Would your goal be to make money on the movie or is it just a passion project? I don't know. Is this an investment or is this a spend it all and say, remember that one time when someone gave me $500,000 and I'm still broke? No one watched my short film on Vimeo.

That's true. Honestly, make a $100,000 movie. Promote it with $100,000 more. Okay. It gets super big. Then I have $300,000 left over

and all the movie proceeds. Super big. where would your marketing budget go i have facebook ads probably yeah yeah banner ads yeah that's how that's how movies do that's how i find out about movies yeah it's like in between instagram stories yeah what actually why why don't they do that maybe they do they just know i don't watch movies i was gonna say movies are a really good investment these days it seems like a lot of people are making movies okay lex pickleball league you mentioned you mentioned that you saw my activity on there i only saw a comment i purposely did not watch the video i don't even really know what you're

talking about so just set it up okay well i mean, I didn't really truly watch it, but I saw this Lenexa Pickleball page. If you guys don't remember, one person runs it and just is kind of a crotchety old man who we saw had the Lenexa Pickleball page shirt. Anyway, but just like is like very adamant, do not play leagues at Lenexa Pickleball, all these different things. No, you're good.

And I don't get on there often, but every once in a while it's on my feed. I just saw this thing that said BDA Lenexa, which BDA is the name of the park, the courts. BDA Lenexa, Kansas, most player-friendly courts in the city. Then I realized it's a video.

Can we watch the video? I'll click on it when time clicks on it. I'm up to speed. Three, two, one. And we've clicked. Sunny days in Kansas City. Hidden balls and feeling so free. Photos.

BDA bangers, we're hitting hard. Pickleball fever, we're raising the bar. I did not. What is this shot? Their only activities in their GoPro upper left corner. What is that video? This is one of the worst videos I've ever seen yeah that was impressively bad doing this to a GoPro for 15 seconds oh wow little aerial action yep I mean but the photo cuts off 50 tabs. It's a screenshot of the whole browser. Oh, just a stock photo of a cartoon pickleball. Okay, this has all the

chords now. This aerial shot. Oh, sideways photo. Okay. Wrong orientation here. It's just a work of art. There's nothing like it. At least there's not a big

image of the editing software in the lower corner. Power director. Thanks for watching. So there's one comment on the whole thing. Wait. Wow. Did they take away my comment?

Oh, no. What happened to your comment? Wait, maybe you commented it on when he shared it to like the page or something. Oh, surely. Now that I'm looking at it, he's shared the same video. It looks like at least four times.

Oh, wow. He has. He just keeps. Oh, this comment says song and lyrics are property of Mickey Collins. So who's the voice? Property of. Mickey Collins. That is so funny.

That's not just like a pickleball song they found online. That talks about BDA. That is a custom Lenexa pickleball fever song. They're like, I am so into this venue, this location. I waited to watch and listen to that. That was awesome. Like I said, I hadn't really analyzed it too much either. I just thought I was like, this is ridiculous and I'm going to comment on it.

So I just said, I just said, is there a download link for this? I'd love to use it for my ringtone. I purposely misspelled ringtone for some reason. That's all I saw. And I was like, yeah, we're talking about this on the podcast. Four exclamation points. I love to use it for my ringtone. And then they sent me

the Google Drive link for it, and then for whatever reason, I was just really into misspelling things. You got a so I just in all caps go. Thank you so nuts. That was the nice thing. You got the actual was at the MP4 file, the raw. Yeah, we could make our own music videos to that song. What if Tymon and I go in and just make the best music video of all time? Just to show them, just like, hey, we made this. That would be hilarious. For $500,000.

That's right. You can have it. That's what we would do with our money. We should make a video together sometime, Tymon. Yeah. And we kind of do, but in different ways. Like a super creative, like a more like, like a $100,000 time. Yeah. And we kind of do, but in different ways. Like a super creative, like a more like,

like a $100,000 movie. Yeah. $100,000 budget. Uh-huh. 45-day plan. If you're curious, the name of it, I'm looking now at February 23rd.

They also posted just the audio version. It's called BDA Bangers Theme Song. Oh, I was hoping it was Pickleball Fever. So. This Facebook page is a treat. I mean, it's basically like this guy that hoping it was Pickleball Fever. So. This Facebook page is a treat. I mean, it's basically like this guy that's obsessed with Pickleball that's also like his personal page.

On February 25th at 1pm, he posted a purple rectangle with one sentence in the middle of it. It says, BDA is packed, period. Well, look down at February 21st. Why would he even post that? If it's packed, no one can come. That's, I think, his point. Like, don't come.

Do not come. There's too many people here. I'm just going to start doing that. I'm just going to post that, and then no one will ever come, and I'll just always have a court. BDA's backstop. February 21st, he posted a picture of a dermatology office that said, current situation, dot, dot, dot, wear sunscreen, period,

dermatology room. Yes, he did post that. On on the linex of pickleball page like admin posting that anyway um this is great that's enough pickleball talk i suppose at least pickleball page um but hold on one under the dermatology one do you see the one below it uh we got a kind of a red orange rectangle this time what time is it? Pickleball time. BDA is wide open. Wide open. All caps. What time is it? That's fun. That is awesome.

In Kansas City. Pickleball fever. That's pretty neat. Yeah. So. Did you want to do some currently trending this week? Yeah, let's do it. Let's make it happen. Let's do a ad read and then we can rock it. Does that sound good? I don't know.

I don't remember what I said for a while. Timon's arms were up doing this. Timon, Timon, Timon, Timon. Let's do it. Let's talk about American meat. Talk about American meat. Let's go ahead and first of all, just say right off the bat, Paige Cuco, awesome post today in the group chat,

or sorry, Facebook group of her son. She says, has had his first taste of good ranchers bacon this morning and now nobody else gets any. My husband, who's also very hard to impress, said it's the best bacon he's ever had in his life. So the subscription is worth the free bacon alone. And her husband notably will not come to Gulf Shores, Alabama. Notably. Even though that's all we're going to have for meat in Gulf Shores is Good Ranchers. Come on, Mr. Cook. Bacon every morning. That's all we're eating, dude.

What's shaken bacon? I could say every single... I'll do a wake-up call every day with you, Nick. I'll do a wake-up call and I'll say, what's shaken bacon? I'll bring you bacon in bed, Nick. Imagine it. It'll say, what's shaking bacon? I'll bring you bacon in bed, Nick. Imagine it. It'll be awesome. Hey, we're talking about MRNA and we're saying MRN nope to the vaccines.

Listen, there's a problem with vaccines in meat these days. The vast majority of the people shopping at the grocery store have no idea what they're that the meat they buy, especially the beef is often imported, comes from countries and farms that do not have the highest standard of quality, transparency, et cetera. Over 5 billion pounds, 5 billion timing. You're not even allowed to say that of meat was imported just last year. Customers are buying from places that don't share their values. That's why they need good ranchers so they can finally remove the mystery from the meat.

Sherlock Holmes doesn't need to be cooking your chicken, right? There's no mystery to this meat. Right? Huh? Right? I have a comment from Michelle H. 1791. Oh, yeah.

History buff. Yes, Michelle History. What if there's just a comment just on someone else's YouTube page? Like they happen to say something about good or bad. No, this is our Wednesday episode last week. My sister lived in England for over 20 years now. She says their bacon is not good.

Dude, it is bad. It is probably filled with freaking vaccines. Probably filled with taxines. Is not good. And she always looks forward to eating bacon when she's stateside. Whose side? Our stateside. The United States side.

I'll be sure she gets to have the best American-made bacon from Good Ranchers when she's here later this year. So, go America. this year. Go America. Go Paul Bunyan. Who are some of our other heroes? Paul Bunyan's number one. Amelia Earhart. Dwight Eisenhower. Dwight Howard.

Dwight Howard. Another famous American. Do it for them. Butch Cassidy. Bill Gates. There you go. Bill Gates. Yeah.

Bill Gates is real into no vaccines for these pigs. Bonnie and Clyde. Do it for them. Two great Americans. Do it for Buffalo Bill Cody. That's right. Do it for John Wayne. Do it for General Custer.

Do it for Seabiscuit. Do it for Ray Kroc. A lot of people don't know this. Lee Harvey Oswald's final words. Were American meat delivered. Now this adds to the conspiracy theory a little bit, but all

I'm focusing on is he knew where to get his meat. GoodRanchers.com Code is GRKC. Free bacon for a year when you subscribe. Be like all those other great Americans. Get some Good Ranchers. They are based out of Texas. I had a tough time remembering who that was. I want to say

Jamie Lee Curtis. It's like it's not Jamie Lee Curtis. I know it's not Jamie Lee Curtis. Oh, man. And they are offering a free 10-pound Easter ham with any subscription. I forgot about Easter ham. Don't you dare. When have you ever been offered a free Easter ham in your life? Never.

Take advantage. And it's not like a nasty ham. It's an MRNA-free ham. Yeah, it's not from your church. Like, take a ham. You're like, I don't know if I want to take the ham. No, thanks. I don't trust that jelly on top.

This is good ham. MRNO.. MRNO. Say MRNO.com. They have a whole website, Tog Mother Pledge. Whole website. Whole website. Whole website.

All right, currently trending, Jake. You got any? Hello. Yeah, currently trending for Rachel and I both, but having to adapt our running schedule

has been running in weird spots. Yeah, you still 100%? Still about 1,000. Let's go. 100%. 10 out of 10, whichever you prefer. Yeah. Yeah, you still 100%? Still about 1,000. Let's go. 100%. 10 out of 10. Whichever you prefer. Yeah, Rachel

on Friday flew to... Did I talk about this? Rachel and I had the same flight? No. To Georgia? We both had layovers in DFW. So I flew to Dallas. Boo! Boo! Sick! Oh! See ya!

Gross! Philly special for me, Oh, sick. Oh, gross. Philly's special for me, man. Philly, Philly. I'm sorry. I'm done. Sorry, I said that. Yeah, it's okay. We both had... You were down south.

Flights down south. I was going there, and then Norfolk, Rachel was going there, then Charleston for a bachelorette party so we had the same exact flight how fun and cute is that that is pretty did you realize it when you booked him uh no we booked him separately because all my gets booked through trey's team and everything and rachel booked hers on her own and yeah i had no idea that's so fun same airline same flight same time uh-huh you know how the same flight works you have all the same details uh different roads different seats oh yeah i guess because it's not a southwest so you can't

yeah okay okay i was asleep the whole time but uh she gets to charleston lands at like 2 p.m everyone else on the bachelorette party is already there they've already gotten there she's like well i feel like if i don't run right away i'm not gonna have time to run at all well in charlest. It's also pouring down rain So she starts running in the rain, but she's like I can't get my hair this wet I you know, this is I gotta figure something out doesn't know what to do. So Rachel she sent me a video of it She ran her final point three miles in the Airbnb It's like cleared out a spot and just did like down and back from the kitchen to like the furthest bedroom.

0.3 miles is so long in a enclosed space. Yeah. That's hilarious. So I was like, this is great. I was like, this tops me running on the stage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of similar vibes though. Just like, yeah, just got to run in a small area and good for her. Yeah, got it in. I'm trying to think, where did I run?

Friday, I think it was, well, the day of pedophilia, good for her yeah got it in and i'm trying to think what else where did i run friday i think it was uh well the day of uh pedophilia i ran also ran outside in the rain for a little bit and was just getting sick of being wet honestly and so i snuck into a little like fitness center and ran the rest on a treadmill it's all dirty it's my dirtiest mile yet what oh because you were wet well because i didn't have a gym membership. I legitimately snuck into there and wasn't supposed to be there. Just ran like.82 really quickly and got out. What's the rule?

Is it intentional running one mile every day? Or if you play basketball and you have your watch on and it says you ran two miles while playing? Rachel says it doesn't count. Doesn't count. Because I'm assuming paddle, Padel, you're running some. Yeah, I probably got a mile in there. Yeah.

I know the day we played pickup football, I ran like four and a half miles that day. Yeah. What if, and then ran a mile? What if you intentionally are like, okay, when I do this,

I'm going to be running my mouth. Cause like we played soccer as a family the other night. Oh, that's fun. And I like just, I don't, I don't think I have like a smartwatch or anything. So I just turned on my phone,

like started like logging it. And then I just like played soccer for like 15 minutes. Got my mile in. Does that count? I was like, this is going to be my mile. I was even thinking about like, I want to like keep like jogging anytime that I'm not really like doing anything. To stay active. Yeah.

I think it's your own rules, right? Okay. It sounds like they've drawn a line in the sand. Like, no, you're running this mile. Because it's about the discipline to go out and run. And right now, I'm kind of like, I've switched to like, I'm kind of competing against my younger sister, Alice.

She's going to do it with me. Because I was losing my motivation. I was like, there's not that much of an incentive. And we still haven't figured out what any kind of punishment or something will be. But yeah. And she's on board with that. So I think we're good.

On Wednesday, last Wednesday, you were going to go film with Jake pickleball stuff later in the afternoon. And so I went back home, was eating lunch with Bo, and we can see Jake's driveway from where we eat at our dining table. And there's Mr. Timon getting out into his car,

doing some stretches, and then he just starts running. And Bo goes, why is Mr. Timon running? Good question. And I was like, yeah, that's not something you see around here very often. It's just dad just taking off on a run down the street.

Heading out. Yeah. It's just funny. Why is he running? Why is he running? That was kind of a cold mile, but it's also interesting. This is me figuring out stuff about like your neighborhood

area like because i've like yeah only ever where i just like pulling in like drive or whatever that's kind of fun dude your your street's getting out of control so much construction like there's been one time where i was like i think i'm gonna hit this this truck in the street like there's no there's no part of the street that i can even drive on you have you do have a very thin street thank you well that's what the whole that's what they're widening but these work trucks are taking up they're not even like getting all the way over do you see they just parked a massive machine in our yard overnight last night it's like can they do that overnight overnight no i didn't see that i've seen them like like are you getting are you starting to get pretty annoyed by it like there's not too much i i drove past one time and there

were like three guys just hanging out like in a hole in your yard oh yeah that would that would bother me after a few days i think maybe because i don't we don't have kids or anything it's like well no one's playing in the yard do whatever you gotta do but it did seem weird that they can just park the machine in the in our yard rather than just in the street like there's been very little communication i mean i know you guys got like a pamphlet or something at one point yeah i got the pamphlet it's not like they're knocking on your door like hey we're parking it here for us we're parking big bertha here overnight that's okay with you it's gonna ruin your grass but uh it'll grow it'll come back yeah the weeds will come back for sure so um all right oh sorry just one more on running and then

sunday uh it was very hard to find a place to run in reading because we're just downtown uh there's no indoor spots so I walked to a parking garage, went all the way up and then ran laps on the top floor of the parking garage. Oh, nice. Life hack running a parking garage. What do you think? Not too bad. Not too bad. Okay. Yeah. That sounds nicer to me. Just ran a bunch of laps on the top. Yeah. If it's a big enough parking garage. Cool. How many do you have? Because I'll figure out how I want to know. Three. Three. Okay. Currently training for me is basketball.

I mentioned I went to play or went to watch the KU game. I've also been watching through Last Dance again, which is great. Oh, nice. So good, dude. Michael Jordan's shot. I think he's the best of all time, but I also think he's just like the prettiest looking. Like his basketball, the way he played was just so beautiful. Like he's levitated up there,

dude. Anyway, um, March madness coming up currently trending. And then Hattie and I have been just dribbling the ball outside a lot lately. Like she's like great, really into just like dribbling the ball. She thinks it's really fun.

So basketball currently trending. That's fun. I want to come dribble with Hattie sometime. It's fun. And she likes, she tries to steal it from me. I'm trying to teach her how to steal, whatever, all these different things. She thinks it's amazing that I can go through my legs or go around the back.

She can't wait for you to show her how you spin the ball. That is fun. I became obsessed with that. And it doesn't help you at all. But it's pretty cool to do for children on mission trips. They call you a wizard. There's no cool to do for children on mission trips. They call you a wizard. There's no... No application for spinning the ball on the finger. Yeah. I'm trying to think of

some way I could spin zone that. I don't know if you can. Doesn't really help much. Currently training for me is seeing things on flights that I've never seen before. I've been on a lot of flights. Honestly, I feel like I've been on a pretty good run where you know really hadn't seen anything weird since everyone was watching young sheldon on the way back from new zealand i think that was the last

time i saw something strange um and the whole flight was watching sheldon but uh anyway this past weekend saw a woman wearing what looked like just like a burger king drive-thru headset the whole flight never saw her talking much over the over the top of the over the top and like a microphone came out so almost like a bluetooth thing but yeah like a yeah i don't know it's like she was at telemarketing or something i was like are you making calls i wasn't sitting next to her though so she was kind of in front of me my guess is that's just like her headphones but happens to have like one of the weird like but if it's only on one ear it sounds like yeah oh interesting oh that's weird it was like one of the weird like... But if it's only on one ear, it sounds like. Yeah. Oh, interesting.

Oh, that's weird. It was like a... It's like a Bluetooth thing probably, but like it's one of those things kind of like a mask. Like we're like, hey, you don't have to wear masks anymore. It's like, I'm so comfortable in it now that I don't want to take it off.

She loves her job. Yeah, I think it's just like, I just, I'm obsessed with this Bluetooth thing on my ear. Sounds interesting. Not too crazy though. Okay. And then I also saw a guy sitting right next to me. Let me see if I can remember everything from the top.

So let's see. Oh, yeah. The first strange thing he did was I'm watching like something I downloaded on Netflix on my phone. And he nudges me and he gestures to the sky, like points upwards. And so I take out my headphones. I was like, oh, sorry, what's that?

And I thought he said, do you need the light? I was like, maybe that's not what I heard. I said, sorry. He said, do you need the light? I was like, no, I'm good. Okay. He's like, all right. I okay it's like all right i don't know what it and i don't know hey you just asked me if i needed a light what were you doing i was just watching a tv show on my phone your phone has a light on it it has yeah it's it's lit it's actually

so not a huge deal but it's kind of the start of like that was kind of a change i don't know i've never thought to ask someone else would you like me to press your light button for you? You know they have those, right? So I was like, oh, yeah, all good. Was yours on for some reason? No, no, no. Dude, you should see me when I sit in an airplane. I look like a pilot.

I sit down, and I'm starting twisting stuff. I'm getting everything ready. I go into mode. Yeah, yeah. Turn the air off. It's freaking cold. Make sure the light's off. Get the shade down.

AirPods in. Close the case. Put it in the case. Get Chapstick out. Put it down there. Put the phone. Oh, wow. Sit on the phone. It's right there. Make sure the lights off. Get the shade down. AirPods in. Close the case. Put in the case. Get chapstick out. Put it down there. Put the phone. Sit on the phone. It's right there.

You got a whole system. Shawn Mendes. That on its own would not have been obviously a big deal. Just kind of adds to it. Just like, you need a light? No, I don't need a light. How many other people do you think he asked that to? I don't know.

Like, does he do that every flight? You just consider it? He was kind of considerate because he would just like, before the flight attendant was coming to ask us for our drinks, he like nudged me and was like, hey, she's coming. every flight you just consider it he was kind of consider it because he would just like um before the flight attendant was coming to like ask us for our drinks he like nudged me and was like hey she's coming i was like yeah um so maybe just to consider a guy the second weird thing he did was when she came to ask uh our drink orders i got a water and he said this time i this time i was pretty sure i heard him correctly he said said, I'll take a coffee.

Okay, how do you take it? Five sugar, five cream. Whoa. I mean, these are like six ounce coffees. Yeah, they are tiny little cups. Maybe I heard him wrong. They brought him five sugar and five cream. I was like, this is wild.

And he's just dumping. He had to drink some and then pour more cream into it five sugars five sugar five cream like dude that's just milk he's drinking milk at this and i feel like when you put the sugar in i i think it's always a struggle to like get it mixed in it's always just at the bottom yeah so he just got like a solid like half inch of sugar on the bottom of his cup could not have been good so i was like this, this is going to be a good flight. And then what's also happening around the same time, I've never seen anything like this. So I've got my noise-canceling headphones in

and watching a show. So I'm pretty locked in. I've got a lot of noise in my own ears, but it sounds like someone is talking a little bit. And I take my headphones out and realize it's him next to me, and he is talking loudly like it sounds like he's on a phone call so how's this dude on a phone call in the air i never thought about doing that burger king headset yeah it's so he's just yeah just on the phone no that's what i'm saying that's

what i'm saying like it didn't used to be like that it's just like so loud like this is wild that this dude's like okay with this like he's not nervous or embarrassed it's so i'm like that's kind of crazy i'm putting the headphones in and then I'm like, every now and then I'll hear it again. I'll take it out or like go transparency mode. Like that is him talking again. But it's hard to look at someone right next to you. You know, you don't just want to like fully turn. Because there's, are there three people in the row? Yeah, he's middle. So then what starts to happen is I noticed now he's got the tray down and the phone's on the tray and I see that he's watching something. So, and it looks like basketball

and I started taking a peek. This isn't basketball. He's watching 2k. He's watching NBA 2k happen. So then I really got to take the headphones out. So what I think is happening, he's in some kind of like online based phone calls, some kind of like discord call. And I think him and his friends are all in a group call together watching someone play like in stream NBA 2k and so they're on a group call talking about it really this is my best truly my best guess I spent a lot of time looking at this because it wasn't Twitter I think it was discord it was a new interface I wasn't familiar with maybe kick or something the uh the wi-fi is good enough so I feel like my wi-fi is terrible on planes yeah he was streaming and on the phone and dude it was like he was watching the nba finals because

once i had the headphones out i got to hear everything and it was just dude that's a travel that's a travel talking about nba 2k he was like freaking out in his seat he's not playing he's not playing he's just watching a guy play a video game. And it would just get so, and then he could go silent for three minutes and just kind of sit there and watch. He's like, dude, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. No, Luca's nice like that.

The layup package, bro. And I was like, this is crazy that this is all like happening. He's not worried about anybody else around him. I can't imagine. He was so considered earlier. And now he's just like screaming crazy that this is all happening. He's not worried about anybody else around him. I can't imagine. He was so considerate earlier. And now he's just screaming about fake basketball on an airplane. Isaac was sitting in the row ahead of me.

And afterwards, he texted me when he landed. He's like, we have to talk about what was going on behind me. I was like, don't worry. I studied it. I can tell you exactly what was happening. Holy cow. But it was just very unique. Very different. What, uh, for you, how far, how far will you go with like being in public and doing something like I get

nervous or I get self-conscious being on the phone with you. Like, yeah, if I'm sitting at an airport waiting for my flight and Catherine calls me, I am either like talk. I'm like, Hey, how's it going?

Hey. Yeah. Just got on the flight. And just, uh, and if I need to talk louder than that, if she's like, I can't hear you, I like stand up and go walk away. Sorry. I'm on a plane. I'm sorry. I, I don't like, like I, uh, John Chris sometimes will do stories or like videos of him, like waiting at the airport and like, there's people

all around him. And I'm like, I could never do that. I'd be so, so uncomfortable if even one person saw me talking to my phone. I would have to be so confident about what I was saying to pull that off. Yeah. I'm with you. I don't like that stuff. I almost, almost had a tinge of bravery the other day. Uh, I was going to Costco and I was going to go live while I was at Costco. I was like, I will look like a maniac and I guarantee you, I get too excited and talk. And I would say something too loud with my headphones in and just goofball. So didn't do it. So anyway, currently training, seeing weird things on flights. Oh, and then cherry on top.

Both those things were on the same flight. The Burger King headset was sitting next to Isaac. Oh, really? Those things were both having on the same exact flight. That was to Norfolk? It was on the way back. I think that was our flight from Philadelphia to Chicago

on our way back. Gotcha. Also, Burger King Headset's daughter apparently drew a picture for a man she saw who was in full army garb. And so I got to see this exchange happen. She was like,

hey, my daughter drew this for you and the guy was like oh thank you and just kind of walked off as a plane and so isaac says there is like man it's kind of expecting a better reaction than that and the mom just goes i think you're just trying to get off the plane so it's like all right screw me i'm just trying to like all right right. Yeah, yeah, you're right. No, I'm rude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. That was my fault. I think he was just trying to get off the plane, just like, I'm trying to get...

Can you please move? That was really funny. I was like, that was nice of that girl. That was nice of Isaac. And then mom was like, I mean, he was trying to get off the plane, obviously. He doesn't owe us anything. Yeah, he's done enough. All right. Tymon, do you have anything? I was going to say

I do have two things, but look at the Facebook group again because Jake Allen is back. Oh, really? Let's refresh this baddie. Oh my gosh. He put a bunch from the office. Oh, this is unbelievable. That is so funny.

I'm Jim. Brad is Michael. You look like Jim in this picture. I look like Jim. That is so funny. I kind of look like Jim. You do, dude. I fit on Jim's body.

I like that hair. Maybe you should grow their sides out a little more there. Throw it back like Jim. That looks exactly how i looked like in high school i can't look like that again really oh wait are you looking at the third picture oh i'm looking at the third picture yes oh yeah the first picture the the warehouse guy no don't do that okay okay okay like it's similar to your hair now but just a little bit longer on the sides i see i see i see you look good i don't think i should should do a Michael season one hair for myself.

That is something. Wow. This is crazy. I got to know what he's using here. Oh, this is awesome. Thanks. Thanks,

Simon for currently trending. No problem. What else do you have? I found myself using podcast notes in real life. Like, I mean, basically I like, I got home from like something at home and i was like there's some things i was like oh i want to like make sure i tell

like my mom or like my family like uh and so i like wrote down like four bullet points i was like what am i doing this is like real life conversation but anyway i think that's a great skill to have but honestly because it's like i just i know i'll forget this stuff yeah like i know i'm not gonna remember but there's like interesting stuff i want to say anyway that's great great skill to have. But honestly, because it's like, I just, I know I'll forget this stuff. Yeah. Like I know, I'm not going to remember, but there's like interesting stuff I want to say. Anyway. That's great. That's kind of fun. That's what, growing up, we would be like, my mom would be like, oh, I have something to tell you about whatever, Bunko last night, but I'm going to save it for dinner so I can

tell everybody. I'm like, okay. Oh, fun. Yeah. You know, whatever. Nice. Podcasting. Okay.

I got a few different updates. I had an update for all the kids. One of them was with Hattie playing basketball. Rosie's update is I've been imitating her a lot. She's just getting really animated, like with her nods and her nose or whatever. Um, but anyway, since I've been the one making most of the meals these days, I, uh, I've learned with Rosie, you got to go one, one food at a time. Cause if you show her all the foods, she's only going to want the good ones. And so you got to give her, you got to give her the stuff that's not as desirable first. You got to give her the broccoli. Yeah. It's just, it's broccoli cucumbers tonight.

And so, you know, I'm sitting there watching her eat her cucumbers thinking you silly goof. You don't even know that you got to fill up on them. And so I would just, I would just whisper to her. I'd be like, you want any string cheese? And she would just go, yeah, yeah. And for whatever reason, I'll just do it right back at her face.

I'll just go, yeah, yeah. That's fun. She likes it. She thinks it's so funny. Yeah. Imitating Rosie.

She's just super cute and fun. And you're just in a fun age right now. I've seen Rosie in a while. And then, yeah, Bo and I, when I, when I put them to bed every night, uh, I'm, I'm worried eventually I'm going to get pink eye from this, but, uh, I, we do Eskimo kisses, you know, those are, yeah. Where you just like, you know, put your eyelashes up next to theirs and do it. Uh, but he doesn't know the word Eskimo. So he always forgets like what it's called. And so he's like, can we do the S S S S kisses? And so now he just calls them S kisses. It kind of sounds like he's saying

something else. Can we do, can you do kisses with our S? Can we do the S S kisses? Uh, and he doesn't really blink his eyes. So it's just me putting my eye up to his and just moving it on his face. I will say, I'm almost positive Eskimo Kisses is something else. So you can just change the name. Oh, what is it? What you're doing is called, I think, Butterfly Kisses. Yeah, that's what I know it as. Wait, wait.

Is Eskimo Kisses inappropriate? Super. No, I'm just kidding. Oh, jeez, dude. That was mean. Eskimo Kisses, I think we're with your nose. Nose on nose. Oh, you're right.

Butterfly Kisses. Yeah. Butterfly Kisses. Can wekimo kisses, I think, were with your nose. Nose on nose. Oh, you're right. Butterfly kisses. Yeah. Butterfly kisses. Can we do butt kisses, Dad? Anyway, so that was my currently trending for those kids. That's fun. Yeah. Butterfly kisses.

Good song. I'm just, there's, that doesn't matter. Butterfly kisses make me think of Isaac's aunt at Jake McDonald's wedding. Knew every single word of that song and was like crying as she was singing it while Isaac's mom and Jake were doing their dance. And it was, Isaac and I were laughing pretty hard.

Go ahead, Jake. Oh, where's it at? Let's see. Okay, so currently training for me is well, it's not just training for me it's training for everyone let's talk about dogecoin okay so i get some notification like a week or so ago and it was like check your robin hood portfolio i was like oh gosh robin hood i haven't thought about that since 2020 probably the game stop dogecoin era and i was like hey i wonder if

i still have like money in there or something i look and I did and I still had a little bit of money in Dogecoin okay like what am I doing get this is I can't believe Dogecoin is still around like pull this money out as soon as possible get it out of there this is ridiculous when's the last time you even heard about crypto or anything taken off so I want to show you a little chart brad that i've got pull off my phone this is dogecoin's price over the last three months do you see that do you want to guess when i pulled out of dogecoin you could not have timed the market more perfectly in the in the worst way. Robin Hood is trying to say like, check it out, but keep it there. I mean, the day before this very flat line just skyrockets to the top.

I'm like, get me out of this stock. Whoa, that was a wild trip. I'll get out of there. I mean, look at the one, sorted by one year. I mean, it has been flat for a year, basically. And then pretty much the day before it hit the moon, I was like, no thanks. Get me out of this.

Oh, wow. So just unbelievable timing. Just kind of funny. But I have $50 in a savings bond. I'll be just fine. You know what's funny is after we talked about that, and then somebody on the Facebook group was like, here's how you do this. Yeah, it was so helpful. $30 is as much

as it's ever going to, whatever, mature. I went back. My aunt Cindy had given me a bunch of savings bond. I took like five of them to the bank the other day. Got $587. Whoa. Yeah.

Dude, what are you going to do with that money today? Today, I'm going to buy Main Street Roasters and Good Ranchers probably. All right. Not bad, brother. Not bad. You can get a lot of good stuff with that um timing uh listening to jacob collier's new album okay it's pretty great okay i have uh started

listening to him sweet because of you kind of and uh i just last night. Oh, I forgot the song. Anyway, I need to listen to it more. I need to get more. Okay. But yeah, what was the song? Oh, bridge over troubled water. Yeah.

I, I thought it was good, but I need to listen to it by myself. I need to listen to more. Okay. Yeah. This is more. He,

without listening to him for more than twice with you guys in the car, you won't offend me. Whatever you say. No, no, no, no. Here's why I haven't gotten into him is because he feels like the kind of person that you need to listen, listen to the music. You can't like it needs to be loud. It needs to be

loud. It needs to be intentional. Yeah. You can't just have it on the background in the car while you're talking, hanging out. Maybe it's a lot of variety. It's not, it's not like it's gonna be like this. It's like a constant repetitive thing to just like have like background noise. It feels like every song is like a piece of art yeah rather than like this is a one album that kind of is all one conglomerate yeah like the new album like every song is a different like genre really yeah i like that that's that's cool yeah yeah cool man um okay

last one last currently training for me, I guess. Fending off the haters with new Gene Shorts content. Go off. Everyone's just getting on us. Not everyone. Like, you know, the 10% of the people in the comments on Gene Shorts. We've been posting a lot of re-uploads. And by we, I mean I.

And it's because honestly we make, we get better views on our old stuff. Something's up. Something's up. Maybe it's just, we suck these days. Um, but so many people are like, Oh, another re upload this, this, and you look back and it's like our best performing videos. The last two months have been videos we did three years ago. And so anyway, um, it's not that we don't like making videos and we are making videos.

We posted a bunch this past week, but, um, yeah, it's just a lot of't like making videos and we are making videos. We posted a bunch this past week, but yeah, it's just a lot of, a lot of, a lot of people being like, Oh, I used to love this channel. Now I'm just so tired. What I w I'd rather them just not post anything. It's like, that's fine. Then, then don't watch us, but we make money when we post things and we're trying to make literally hundreds of dollars. We're not making, we're not making like millions of dollars off of this. Like we're just trying to make a little bit of money on this thing. So if we made thousands of dollars every video, Oh my gosh, we'd be cranking out several times. We'd be so much more motivated to like really take that more seriously. It's like, it just doesn't really make sense.

It's so hard. Cause like sometimes we'll be like, that was a really great video. And we make literally $200, maybe $150. And then I'll repost millennials versus boomers at home Depot. And it did really well. And then that one we did really well on. And it's like, all I had to do for that is find the file, drag and drop it and put a new thumbnail on it. Like, and so it's, it's like, of course we would love to just make new stuff all the time. But anyway, all the, all the people that are going to come for me the next time i do a re-upload i'm going to say the last six videos we've posted have been brand new stuff so so stink it how about that so don't go to dallas you must be from dallas so i did something yesterday where i reposted some short form content yeah uh which i i see people do every now and then i think

everyone for the most part usually appreciates it because you're reposting something that a lot of people like. So it's like, oh, this is kind of fun. They're reposting something that I loved the first time. And honestly, I was kind of doing it to maybe get our, this is Friday pickleball,

get our Instagram TikTok out of a rut a little bit. It's like, man, we haven't popped off in a while. Reposted our most viral video ever. It got like 6 million views on Instagram or something crazy. I post that. I go off and shoot mood swings content for four hours like oh my gosh i forgot i posted video today let's check three comments one of them was me oh it's like wait hold on hold on this is like objectively a good piece of content because it went viral on multiple platforms last time why is it not what's going on i know so time and going to talk after this, but I have a new strategy for us.

Ooh, fun. Fun. Just, something's up. Can we talk about it a little bit? I want to hear it. Something's up. Can we talk about the strategy though?

Something's up. No. No, sorry. I just don't know. Something, hey, what's up there?

Something. It's something. What is it? I would like to hear about a strategy. Well, my thought is, let's use Tymon's skills and start and continue to produce

comedic material, but more high production. Yeah. And let's just try it because initially I, I, you know, I've always been drawn to stuff like that. It's like,

how fun would that be to like really write out a sketch, but like, it's just, there's no guarantee. Higher production doesn't equal higher views. That's what's so hard, dude. Like you watch there's, there's a, another golf channel like yours, St. That's what's so hard, dude. Like you watch there's,

there's a, another golf channel like yours, St. Andre. Yes. Very high production. Yeah. They're doing very well.

Yeah. But there's also, you go back to trace channel right now. Trey has done some very amazing high production. Yeah. Green screen. He didn't December. Yes.

Yeah. Didn't do nearly as well as just him impersonating Travis Kelsey and other chiefs characters. Yeah. Like, you know, that one gets 5 million views and he makes a bunch of money on that one. And then this one that he spent all this money producing makes negative money probably. Yeah. So it's just a grind. It's just like, just keep doing something and hoping that something sticks, like keep

throwing stuff at the wall. Yeah. Like that day time and where I think it was a Wednesday, we got done recording here. I was like, Hey, let's go shoot a video really quickly. And I basically wrote a video in five minutes sitting on the couch slash on the way to those pickleball courts. We drove two minutes, me and Rachel. It just had you film it. That video got a million views. Yes.

And it was so easy. I wrote it in five minutes. We didn't even drive a mile to get there. It's like, man, I know it's possible to get views and get followers without trying too hard. The Dave Ramsey video I did. So easy. I did a green screen in my woodshop office.

Like behind me, there was like dirty hoodies, like stained hoodies that I green screened over a Chipotle background. Yeah. And it took me, you know, 15 minutes. Yeah. It's got millions of views. Theory. Who held the camera for the one you reposted?

There it is. There's a common denominator here. Not just anyone can hold that straight. That's right. Well, Isaac does have a little shake to him. You got a little shake to him. Get him a gimbal. He needs to have a human gimbal.

So my thought is I've got a good amount of ideas that I think could really work well. I know we've talked about it before. I really want to do a high production comedy sketch about how people view pickleball as a cult okay i talked about this before on the podcast but i think it could be really fun to like i think time even had the idea when i pitched this idea initially like something with like you don't have the glass of like it's just metalbrook like it looks amazing and you put

the glasses on and then it switches and like these people in robes are like chanting like dink with us yeah you know whatever um well these, these days, I mean, like in two years, I feel like the technology for all this stuff is going to be so much more, like you can do that technology, like on AI. Oh, time is out of a job quick. Oh my gosh, donezo. I mean, enjoy it while you can.

Just, we talked about the other day with green screens, like we were showing my kids green screens. That used to be so hard to pull off. A hundred, yeah. You have to be sore to pull off a hundred. Yeah. You have to have a literal screen or a wall or something. And now it's like, yeah,

I can just do it with anything, anywhere you want. The U S government barely pulled it off of the moon landing in the sixties. And now we can do it on our phone in 30 seconds. There were no stars. They forgot to put the stars in the green screen. Yeah. So I don't know.

It's just, uh, yeah, it just seems like something like right now that's like, whoa, you got to get a lot of extras. Eventually it's going to be like, it's going to look pretty good without it, you know? So that's fine. Yeah. That's my thought. It's like, maybe we just try and do different style of comedy content. I don't know. It does seem like everything with Rachel and it does really well too. So maybe we just, we become a pickleball relationship, comedy channel. I mean, do that over and over. Look at at gene short so many of the things that have hit well for us are relationship driven yeah

marriage driven family driven like it just seems like they instagram thinks that's your thing you guys are those kind of people yeah maybe either katherine replaces me or rachel replaces you we we need one guy one girl and that's it not too many cooks in the kitchen yeah um yeah i give credit to trey like one of the things i think Trey does better than almost anybody I know or anybody can think of is he acclimates and fails fast a lot. Like he'll, he'll just be like, it seems like,

it seems like YouTube shorts the way let's do a bunch of YouTube shorts. And then YouTube shorts doesn't go like he wants. He's like, nevermind. I'm not on YouTube shorts. We're doing this. Like, he's like,

I'm going to try this thing. I'm going to do that. Like think about how many videos you guys have done that were's like, nevermind. I'm not on YouTube shorts. We're doing this. Like, he's like, I'm going to try this thing. I'm going to do that. Like, think about how many videos you guys have done that were just like so randomly weird. I guess it didn't work. And that's what it was 2020. Yeah. You guys did like that random, like American idol country version or something. Remember that? Oh yeah. Like you did all these, like, like the bachelor, you know, music videos and music videos and he's doing music videos now it's like he's just continually adapting seeing what's gonna he did that thing

with jada pickett smith spitz jada rick smiths um jada pinkett smith you know that was so random yeah like that was one of those things i was like is he getting paid to do this this is so weird uh anyway just all sorts of all over the place but i don't know we could talk we talk influencer Yeah. Like that was one of those things. I was like, is he getting paid to do this? This is so weird. Anyway, just all sorts of all over the place, but I don't know. We can talk. We can talk influencer for a long time. Anyway,

was that it? Was that your turn? I'm fending off the haters. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's where, yeah, that's where we started with that.
