Tymon, call me a paleontologist because I got a bone to pick with you, brother.
Oh, no.
Permission to dig?
Permission to, yeah, excavate.
Excavate?
Really, it's just an old man thing.
This is such a small thing that I should not care about.
He's not capitalizing his letters again?
Close-ish.
That's not a Gen Z thing.
It's just a what, why, why.
I'm kind of scared.
Did you just recently get a new license plate?
Yes.
Kansas changed their license plates to have like four letters and then three numbers.
Oh, it's at a three and three?
I don't know why, but it's bothering the heck out of me.
And there's no space.
Yeah.
Something about it.
It's like, it doesn't look like a password.
It looks like you're driving a government vehicle around or something.
It is interesting.
I don't know why, but it's really setting me off.
And I'm the only one that has.
No, no.
But you're the only one in this room that does right now.
I see why you have such a problem with Tymon specifically.
Yeah.
Because he started it.
Yeah, Tymon did it.
As far as you know.
As far as I know.
Tymon could have said, no, thank you.
I'd like the three and three, please.
No, thanks, guy.
Go three and three.
And I'm pretty sure it used to be numbers, letters.
Okay.
Now I think it's switched.
Four letters, three numbers.
I don't know.
I think it's letters at the end still.
Is it?
Yeah. What is your license plate number?
Well, now I'm mad at Tymon for trying to prove you wrong.
Now I'm mad at Tymon for just being insubordinate.
Insubordinate.
How do you know Tymon's new license plate
isn't just a vanity plate?
What did it say?
It said...
Oh, dang.
What did it say?
Oh, it said...
It said...
It said...
Oh, what did it say?
Love.
It said L-U-V.
Yeah.
Love.
And then it said N... Love N. N-R-V. Yeah. Love. And then it said N-R-S.
And it looks inappropriate, but he means neighbors.
Oh, love.
He loves neighbors.
I thought he was saying love.
He's a Viking.
He's a fan of the animals that Vikings rode on back in the day.
And so he loves, he loves Norse's.
Norse's. Norse's.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Just get on with it.
All right.
Stop messing with my license plate.
Uh,

There are so many ghosties in the Northeast.
I saw so many of them this past weekend.
Yeah?
We need to do some kind of get-together in Pennsylvania.
There's just so many of them.
Really?
I think between Lancaster, Lancaster?
Lancaster.
Lancaster, PA, Gate CURB, you know, and the Reading Show was really great.
There's just so many ghosties there.
Geographically, how close are those two cities?
I don't know where Lancaster is,
but Reading is only like an hour west-ish of Philadelphia.
Okay.
So just a pretty decent suburb of it.
What makes Reading a place that you guys keep going back to
if you're in Philadelphia?
Do you know?
I don't know.
Maybe there's just a lot of people there.
I'll tell you, not a lot going on in Reading.
And I don't like talking bad about towns.
But we went there on a Sunday and there was just nothing open.
Like, there was no cute coffee shops downtown. It was crazy. Hey, two
acai places? Oh, both closed on Sunday.
No coffee shops. Just completely closed. Yeah.
Okay, well, there's Starbucks. All right.
Not ideal, but I'll take it. Starbucks.
Closed on Sunday. It's just like a
very, like... Just nothing's open. Yeah.
Conservative, Christian, like, you know, Just nothing's open. Yeah, conservative Christian,
like, you know, just nothing.
Or whatever, something.
Yeah.
Just understood.
Yeah, Lucas actually opened with it.
He did jokes about how nothing is open
in this whole town
because it really was true.
That was our experience.
But anyway...
But yet your show's on Sunday.
Yeah, that's the only thing open.
You get some good times
with some ghosties, though.
Yeah, saw a lot of ghosties.
Signed a hat that Isaac had already signed that's always fun
and yeah
the Reading show was awesome all the shows
this weekend were very very good
but yeah they were just awesome
it's just like sometimes I can
never really get down
on myself but just like never
super confident in myself as a stand-up comedian.
I'm like, I'm an opener.
I've been doing this three years.
I have a lot to learn, a lot to get better at.
But then people are just so nice.
Yeah.
I don't know.
When I only do 20 minutes and I'm in between Lucas and Trey, it works really well.
Man, I just felt like I was getting them going.
It was really loud, and it was really fun.
I had some great moments.
Go off.
Good crowd work.
Thank you, Tymon. Do you prefer a solid 20 over,
do you prefer an eight out of 10, 20
over a seven out of 10, 30?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
The goal is always to leave them one or more.
So whatever it takes.
Let them more.
If I can leave them wanting more by doing 20 minutes,
then let's do it.
Yeah.
It's easier to do it with five to 10 minutes,
but yeah, so it went great.
Good, some fun crowd work in all the towns. I need to start writing them down better. It's hard to remember now. five to ten minutes but yeah so it went great good uh some fun crowd work
in all the towns i i need to start writing them down better it's hard to remember now in the
moment you're like of course i'll remember that it was hilarious dude but when you've done it a
million times yeah now they all kind of bleed together but i remember a guy who's like had a
old-time telephone ringtone go off made fun of that guy for all that's not even right that still
sounds too like new age just like the old school landline went off.
Really went off on him.
Just for having...
One girl, I said, what's like...
What's your town kind of known for?
She's like, it's just like a...
I don't know, like a small town.
It's just small.
Everything's small.
I was like dwarfism.
A lot of dwarfism.
Yeah.
And I was like, you know, doing some jokes there.
And then what do you do for a living?
I run a daycare.
There you go. Everybody's small daycare there you go everybody's small
yeah of course
everything's small
yeah that's all you operate with
yeah you got a lot
longer shelf life there
with those guys
hey the whole thing is small
nice
anyway
just fun times
Reading was great
Go Seas are great
good times Philadelphia
I'm feeling confident
and my comment of the week
hey
whatever
you have to do your comment of the week
I'll just do my comment of the week
I'm just going
comes from Katie Beth Edmund oh yeah week. Hey, whatever. You have to do your comedy week. I'll just do my comedy week. I'm just going.
Comes from Katie Beth Edmond. Oh, yeah.
Got to see Jake perform this last week in Norfolk.
It was so wonderful.
I also gave a quick wave to Isaac
at the merch table. My family
came along when Jake came to
Virginia Beach over a year ago, and wow,
he has got this down. Jake was so
confident and hilarious.
After the show, my family said they wish they could have seen more Jake.
Leave one more?
That's right.
Leave one more.
One more.
Then they called me a super fan, so yeah, I'm pretty proud.
Come back to North, and then she bleeped out the rest.
Anytime, Jake.
Did you make jokes about that?
Yeah, I did a bit.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like I grew up.
I wouldn't even be able to say the town I'm in right now. I mean, I'm still scared to say it now.
I don't even know how to pronounce it.
Just kind of mumble through it.
But anyway, Katie Beth, thanks, mama.
Thanks, mama.
Thanks for the kind words, mama.
Thank you, mama.
That was nice.
I appreciate words of aff, especially with stand-up.
I still feel new at it.
Because you're going somewhere again next week?
Yeah, we leave Wednesday.
So it's a Wednesday through Saturday.
Where do we go?
Roanoke?
Something like that, I think.
Been there before?
I don't know off the top of my head.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
No, no, no.
Maybe.
Isn't that kind of amazing to you?
Because the limo...
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I meant like, have you ever performed there?
Oh, never done comedy.
Huh?
No, I don't think we've ever done comedy there.
But isn't that kind of amazing that you're like...
Yeah.
It's hard to remember all the places I've done comedy.
Yeah, except if you did Richmond one time.
Never done Roanoke.
Okay.
Are those even close?
I don't know.
Same state.
Ooh, I felt it on my foot.
Yeah, that wedding ring.
Wedding ring?
Went a ways over there.
You want to switch?
Switch rings, dude?
Speaking of jewelry, I noticed you're wearing a watch.
What's that all about?
Oh, dude, Ghosty sent us some watches.
Oh, I have one?
Yeah.
We got it.
We got it.
Like, so John Luke Cave, shout out to Luke. Yeah. Um, tried to start a, tried to, he started,
he started a drop shipping business a while back. I think he was probably, I'm assuming things,
but I think he saw like, Hey, you can make extra money, passive income with, you know,
Alibaba or whatever, and started a watch business. And I don't think it, um, ever came to fruition.
So he's like,
Hey,
I got like 20 watches.
You want,
you want me to send them to you?
Oh,
cool.
So some of them are wild.
That one looks nice.
It's fun.
I don't know if it works that well.
It seems,
it seems like about every two hours it loses a minute.
So that's rough for a watch or,
or sometimes,
but I don't know if it's really the watch
not working well or if it's this
if the dial just comes every once in a while
out a little bit.
Well, that's why we support good rangers, not China.
That's right.
This is from Lige.
L-I-G-E.
My Lige.
My Lige.
Let's see.
Oh, Catherine.
We hired a maid cleaning service to come to our house today um dude i want it yeah yeah it sounds so awesome okay uh arena holyfield
diamond yeah i know who that is do you yeah actually yeah she's like local yeah yeah and
she came to i know someone goes to her church She's like a green leaf girl who like I, whatever. Yeah. Her and Paul brought Paul Bryant, uh, came
to since his ability, whatever came to, anyway. Awesome. Uh, that was a weird conversation,
but now I believe you guys for a while. I thought you guys were just messing with me.
I really hope you'll time it. Well, I thought time was like, yeah, no, it took me a second.
Sorry. I'm just not good at talking, but that's okay.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She works for his company.
Clean Heart Maids.
Shout out to Clean Heart Maids.
Created me a clean heart.
Oh, God.
Clean Heart Maids.
Clean Heart Maids.
Anyway, they come to my house today.
And renew a right.
Oh, sorry.
Renew.
Yeah.
Restoring me.
But they came to my house today, this morning,
do a deep clean of the house. Catherine's like, we got all the sickness. We're kind of getting
over it. Let's, let's get it out. Let's get all the germs out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Um, and yesterday Catherine cleaned our house very well. Pre-cleaner pre-clean for the,
Oh, yep. A hundred percent. Something my mom would do. This is, this is the greatest business idea in the world.
It seems like, I don't know, maybe, maybe not everybody would do this, but like, it
seems like most people are going to be like, I can't make them clean too much.
So I'm going to clean up beforehand.
And then you walk in and it's like, well, people aren't really going to notice if I
don't clean that well, it's pretty clean here already.
Like our house was cleaner when they got there today than it has been for two months.
It was so spick and span.
Like we woke the kids up today.
We're like, don't play with a single toy.
We're going to breakfast.
We're going eating out.
Like we're leaving.
All right.
Life hack.
Three months from now, you tell Catherine, hey, I'm going to do a little something nice
for you.
Go out, get a little spa day. I'm going to have a little something nice for you. You go out, get a little spa day.
I'm going to have a cleaner
come to my house
while you're at the spa.
And that's kind of how you leave it.
Catherine's like,
well, I could feel bad.
I'm going to clean up the house
before I go to the spa.
Wow.
While she's out to the spa,
all you really do
is just spray a bunch of cleaner.
Just like give the shower a wipe down.
Give the counter a wipe down.
Just so it smells really clean in there.
Maybe fold the towel
or like the toilet paper up a little bit.
Do 10 minutes of work, and she'll think you hired a cleaner to come for an hour and a half.
That is genius.
And she has cleaned the house for you.
Open up the windows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Put some Lysol in the air.
Have a new candle she's never seen before going when she gets back.
Like, wow, she even brought us a candle.
Yeah, she's best.
That's Arena.
That's Arena for you.
That's what time and knows best. That's Arena Holyfield. That's what Tymon knows her.
That's right.
Anyway, I was like, is there another
business where we can basically have the people
do the work for us?
I think dentistry is this way. People go to the dentist like,
well, I gotta floss before I go to the dentist.
Not me. I eat on the weight of the dentist.
I make them earn it. That's right.
I have a tub of popcorn before I go.
I mean it in between the cleaning. That's right. I have a tub of popcorn before. I mean it in between, you know, cleaning.
That's right.
Like between the hygienist and the dentist that comes in.
I'm eating more popcorn.
I don't think so, Dr. Grosvenor.
I think people really like to floss the day they're going to the dentist.
And no other day.
Yeah.
And so you're just super bloody.
Yeah.
Do you guys floss?
Why would I?
Give me
one good reason to floss.
Why does anyone ever floss?
One time, this reminds me,
we were, this is, maybe I was
back in Iowa for Christmas,
and for whatever reason, I got looking up
just like, I was just quizzing,
I was like, Tim, what are you learning about right now in law school?
And he told me, he's like, we'll see about that. And I just Googled whatever,
you know, some category of life I've never even heard of. It was just Googling questions and
asking Tim and also everyone was answering. It was like a multiple choice and it ended up being
kind of fun. It's like, you can kind of maybe guess, you know, like who is at fault here?
It's kind of fun to guess. Anyway, we were doing this for a few minutes and i feel like everyone's having a good time i
don't know everyone gets the question wrong tim gets it right and he's like that's you know
you know law school or something and tim and rachel's grandma goes why do we need any of this
and tim's like this is my career and also it's the law Law's a pretty big deal. What's your argument here?
She got like five questions in a row.
Why do we need any of this stuff?
She's like, yeah, she's still living in Mayberry.
There's nothing that goes wrong in this town.
There's no crime.
No one sues anybody.
No.
That's not real.
That's me and flossing.
What's the big idea?
Want to get bloody and take four minutes out of my day?
Four minutes. Four minutes, then what? You're just bad at flossing. What's the big idea? Want to get bloody and take four minutes out of my day? Four minutes, then what?
You're just bad at flossing.
It's hard to get in there.
I feel like
I should floss. I'm not quite
with you on why does anyone floss. I feel like it would be a good thing
to floss, but I don't. Oh, it's definitely a good thing
for you.
Maybe that's just big dentistry, because they always tell
you to floss. But are they controlled by the floss companies? Yeah. What's, what's in that floss that you don't
know about? That's, you know, MRNA decaying your teeth so that you need the dentist to fix it.
That's why I drink sparkling flavored stuff out of a can. I get my, that's right. Get my fluoride
fluoride that way. Anyway. Yeah. I'm just trying to think of another business idea
where basically they do the work.
What's it, Nathan, for you, that show?
The moving?
Yeah, like CrossFit moving company.
Yes.
Where you pay people to move stuff for you.
That's very genius.
That's fun.
Well, John Locate, thanks for the watch.
Yeah, man.
I'll bring some over for you.
I'm intrigued to see which ones you're like attracted to because there are some there's one that like it's literally just
two two like dots like almost like metal dots and they just move every once in a while and one
represents the hour one represents the minutes i'm like that's one of those ones it's like i'm
never gonna wear this but i can see jake like, that's actually pretty cool. I love dots. Yeah.
Dots are cool.
So, you know, yeah.
That's fun.
Uh, can we do funny, phony phrases?
Let's do it.
Let's do it. It's back.
We've done this, uh, segment twice before.
I think these are phrases that don't exist.
Phony phrases.
Brad, what's your first one?
Um, first of all, I want to say shout out to the ghosties.
I went live last night and got some
submissions from them.
Did you plagiarize any of your work?
Did you cheat, Tymon? I'm not going to give credit to anybody.
Yeah, me neither. It's all my own original work.
I'm not going to tell you which ones are theirs, which ones are mine.
Oh, I have something similar.
I came up with
I have six total
or five or six total and two of
them are AI.
Whoops.
That's plagiarism.
That is more plagiarized than mine.
I wanted to play a game.
All right.
If you can tell which is AI.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's just go one by one then.
Okay.
Uh, Burger King doesn't wear the crown.
Explain this one.
Just because you call yourself the King doesn't mean you're the best. You're not the best. Burger King doesn't wear the crown. Explain this one. Just because you call yourself the king doesn't mean you're the best.
You're not the best. Burger King doesn't wear the crown.
Just because you have the nominal name,
just because your last name is the same
as Steve Triplett's doesn't mean you
just automatically are guaranteed
this birthright.
You make
your own way in life. Burger King doesn't wear the crown.
Just because you get
a domain off GoDaddy,
you don't need to father a child.
Yeah.
That's what you're saying, basically?
Yeah.
That is good.
Burger King doesn't wear the crown.
Burger King doesn't wear the crown.
That's good.
Thank you.
Nice.
Oh, all of them?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Or if we want.
I don't know.
That way we can play Tymon's game.
Hey, that's like using a paper bag on a rainy day.
It's just got to get wet.
It's just not going to be effective.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, that's sweeter than water in the middle of the night.
That's good.
Yeah. That just feels good, dude.
There's nothing like night water.
I just need a drink of water right now.
Yeah.
I'm trying to figure out a time to use it in a sentence.
Just like, dude, I cured that golf ball. that was sweeter than water in the middle of the night
that was just perfect oh yeah um hey you don't see the melted ice cube till your socks wet
i get it yeah you don't you feel it you thought the ground was totally fine all of a sudden like
i guess i stepped on a somewhat melted ice cube. Take my sock off now. Wow.
You can get sunburned when it's cloudy.
That's a good word.
That's a good word.
Australia, for sure.
Hey, yeah.
Don't put your guard down all the way.
You can get sunburned when it's cloudy.
Yeah, put your guard up.
That's good.
Okay.
Where there's a sink, there's also a drain.
I don't really get that one that much.
That one wasn't good.
I kind of get it, but... Where there's a sink, there's also a drain.
Just like, eh, I don't know.
I'm having trouble finding it.
This one is...
I wrote this one down purely because
Caleb Tye Water sent it to me.
Oh, that's nice.
I don't really get it, but I put Caleb Tye Water next to it
because Jake will be excited about it.
Toes don't curl in the winter.
What does that mean?
I don't get it, nor is it true.
I don't understand.
You ever nestled up next to an open fire, Caleb?
I don't know when my toes ever curl.
Much less in the summertime.
Toes don't curl in the winter.
I was like, Caleb, you're a weirdo.
Good try.
Let me try it. Okay. Toes don't grow in the winter. I was like, Caleb, you're a weirdo. Good try. So let me try it.
Okay.
Let him try.
Let's see.
How about...
That's a tail that belongs to a different dog.
That tail belongs to a different dog.
Just it doesn't quite match up.
No.
Yeah, it's not quite it.
It's like someone's face doesn't fit their body shape or something.
That's a tail of a different dog right there that's good i like that okay this one's uh
submitted by i believe it's susan i can't remember susan walker maybe anyway um she submitted like
four and like on our live and i was like i don't get it i'm not writing that down finally i was
like you're trying so hard i'm writing this down for you. They're so skinny or he's so skinny. He could turn sideways
and stick his tongue out and he would look like
a zipper.
How do you even think of that?
She had some other ones that were even more like
I don't know what's going on upstairs.
Wait, that's interesting. That's fascinating.
You can even think of something like that. Say it again.
So skinny he could turn sideways and stick his
tongue out and he looks like a zipper.
I don't know. That's not
how zippers look to me, but I
I don't know. Maybe that it's true.
Yeah, and there's a typo
on there. So I don't know. I'll
end it with this one. I got more, but
this one's just simple. If the
shirt's too big, don't wear it, which
means it means, hey, if it
doesn't make sense, if it's not the right fit, then don't force it. Yeah, don't wear it. Which means? It means, hey, if it doesn't make sense, if it's not the right fit,
then don't force it.
Yeah, don't force it. If it's too
big, don't wear it. If it's too big, don't wear it.
Those are my phony phrases. Me and the ghosties.
That's fun. It's about half and half.
Alright, Tim, you have six and two are AI.
Correct. Alright, give it to us.
That's like taking a photo with the cap on.
Someone's confident in what they're doing.
Okay, no, I'm with you. Yeah, That's like taking a photo with the cap on. Someone's confident in what they're doing. Okay, no, I'm with you.
Someone's like confidently doing something, but they don't realize they're doing it blindly.
They're going to make a fool of themselves.
It's like taking a photo with the cap on.
Dude, your lens cap is on.
Definitely timing.
It's like taking a photo with the cap on.
It's like, I try to fire up the grill and you're all out of propane.
Something like that.
I'm not claiming that any of mine are good.
Hey, I like it.
Okay.
This one's so stupid.
The rules of a graham cracker can be broken.
Meaning,
graham crackers, they have the lines and the
perforations in them to help you, but even if you
break them in a different spot, they still take them.
Break where you want to break them.
You got me with the explanation. At first I was like,
what does that mean? You can go outside the boundaries sometimes. Okay. Yeah, you want to break them. You got me with the explanation. At first I was like, what does that mean?
You can go outside the boundaries sometimes.
Okay.
Yeah, you can color outside the lines.
Yeah.
Okay.
It is fun that graham...
How many foods come with perforation?
Is it only graham crackers?
Kinda.
Maybe.
Sure.
Hershey's?
There you go.
Hershey's.
Kit Kat, for sure.
Yeah, a lot of chocolate.
But how many non-chocolates
come with perforation?
Not many. Non-chocolate perforation? Okay, not many.
Non-choc perforage.
Could you argue bread with a crust?
No.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Alrighty.
That's like climbing a staircase made of sand.
Ooh, I like that one.
Putting effort into something that would never work.
The sand keeps just crumbling underneath you.
Yeah. I guess the sand doesn't have water. will never work. The sand keeps just crumbling underneath you. I guess the
sand doesn't have water.
It might work. Turn into mud
and the mouse gets to the top.
It's like believing a selfie.
Hear me out.
A selfie can sometimes be a mirror image
of what the actual world looks like.
Therefore, a false view of reality.
If someone is trusting something that isn't completely
true, it's like that.
You know,
zipper one's not sounding too bad right now.
Zipper one makes a lot more sense now.
That's like sticking a tongue out and sideways
in a selfie.
In the sand.
Okay.
Planting seeds in concrete.
Attempting to initiate change in an
unchangeable environment. Wasting
time on something won't bear any fruit.
That's good. And then one last one.
A pirate can still shoot a gun.
They're known for their swords.
Even if you feel like you have limitations,
don't let that stop you. Pirates have an eye patch, but they can limitations don't let that stop you pirates have an eye patch but they can still aim a pistol oh pirates have an eye patch yeah
there we go that's it i thought three of them were ai so uh how bad i am at this i guess no
no no no those are fun what are your guesses okay plant seeds and concrete yes okay that's my guess
too and then the one that he explained verbatim.
The ones that like were pretty
well written out as far as
explanations. What was
the other one that you said?
The third or fourth one. The
climbing up sand. Those
are my three guesses for AI. No, climbing up sand.
There's two AI. Yeah, I know.
My three guesses. What was your fourth one
that you said, Tymon?
Believing a selfie?
Yeah, yeah.
Believing a selfie, though?
A selfie.
That is so random, that AI.
I think I'm going to go sand and concrete.
All right, I'll go selfie and concrete.
It was sand and concrete.
Dang.
The selfie one, like the way you explained it. I have it written pretty like,
I have a selfie can sometimes be a mirror image
of what the actual world looks like and therefore a false
view of reality. Time it is AI.
Impressive.
All right, Jake.
My funny phrases are
birds aren't homeless.
You ever think about that? If you have
skills, if you have knowledge to do something,
you can never have that
taken away from you.
If you have the knowledge to build a nest, you can never have that taken away from you. Birds can always,
if you have the knowledge to build a nest,
you can always build yourself a home.
Deep.
Hey, birds ain't homeless.
Come on.
Gas ain't free.
Let's stick with the tree theme,
if you don't mind.
The motif?
Sharks can't climb trees.
You say this like,
look, I'm good at stuff.
I can't do everything. it's like uh hey jake
do you want to do stand-up comedy and then edit your own special and sing a little song hey come
on great white sharks can't climb trees right like sharks are very respected in their environment
they could do a handful of things but they're not not, yeah, they're not arborists. You don't ask them to climb a tree.
Right.
All right, this one's a little different.
This one's less of like an idiom.
It's more just like, whatever.
Bedtime in China.
Okay.
I want us to start using this more.
So I looked up the Chinese time zone versus ours.
So 10 p.m. there is 8 a.m. here.
So I think we should start using this just another way of saying like in the morning or breakfast time.
Okay.
You know, like I sit that over.
Do you see it?
Oh, yeah.
I got it around.
It must have been bedtime in China when I got that.
That just means this morning.
Okay.
Yeah.
It must have been.
We got together for coffee.
Oh, when was it?
Bedtime in China.
I like the idea of it being like a motivation.
Like, hey, they're sleeping right now, but we're just starting.
We have to get to work.
Yeah, it's bedtime in China right now, boys.
It's lock-in.
It's not.
Yeah, it's go time in America.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bedtime in China.
Or someone just memorizes a bunch of different time zones for every corresponding time here and make everyone translate it. Bedtime in China. Or someone just memorizes like a bunch of different time zones. So like for every corresponding time here and make everyone like translate it.
Bedtime in Rio, boys.
Come on.
It's lunch in Belarus.
Lunch in France.

That's right.
It's a siesta in Madrid.
Let's get on there.
Come on.
All right.
It is 430 in Slovakia.
Do whatever.
I don't know.
Do whatever.
It's a brunch in Springfield, Illinois.
That's the same time zone we're in.
Pretty much here.
That's
pouring water on a duck's back.
Duck's back? Yeah, because it seems
like it would get the duck wet.
That seems smart. Does it not?
But it doesn't, because they have
down feathers. They repel water. That seems smart. Does it not? But it doesn't. Really? Because they have good, they have. That's their thing?
The down feathers.
They repel water.
Oh.
It's like,
yeah,
on paper,
that seemed like that would work,
but that's like pouring water on a duck's back.
Dude,
that one's like,
that sounds almost real.
Let's get that going.
Pouring water on a duck's back.
Yeah.
It's just a waste.
It's like Jim in the office
when he's like,
I thought,
I thought a group birthday party
would be a good idea.
Oh.
Yeah, you can't do that. It's pouring water on a duck's back. Pouring water on a duck's like, I thought a group birthday party would be a good idea. Oh, yeah, he can't do that.
It's pouring water on a duck's back.
I like that.
Fox in a hen house never gets
bored.
You know, he's
just got to be in there. He's going to be busy and he's going to be
up to no good. So it's like,
hey, just because you're
somewhere where you're entertained doesn't mean
you could be up to no good. Hey, Fox ever get bored in a hen house? entertained doesn't mean that's the right place to be.
Hey,
Fox ever get bored in a hidden house?
No.
Oh, that's good.
I love yours
because they're so country.
A lot of animals.
These are things you say
around a diner table.
Mine are kind of country.
You're reading the newspaper
like, yep,
you see that
Olivia Rodrigo's
ad again.
You know, Fox in the hen house
never gets bored.
Yep.
Man.
Got another permission
to do another animal one?
Please, I love them.
I tell you what,
that's like chasing butterflies
with a hammer.
That's good.
Sure, the hammer's good
for a lot of things.
Yep.
But not butterfly chasing.
Butterflies. The wrong tool. Yeah, also, are you trying to kill the butterfly are you trying to catch it
there was an uh overpopulation issue there was so i was trying to kill him strafford wouldn't do
wouldn't do hammer though what what is that overpopulation of butterfly do again uh they're
basically moths just with beautiful feathers beautiful moths yeah just beautiful moths hey
that's that's the one right there butterflies are just beautiful moths, just with beautiful feathers. Beautiful moths. Yeah, just beautiful moths. Hey.
That's the one right there.
Butterflies are just beautiful moths.
Just found another one.
All right, save this one for last.
This one's a bit of a two-parter.
Okay.
So in our present day, we're going to get this one started.
And it's, you can't recycle garbage.
Okay.
Because this is kind of like, this is similar to like,
a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. Yes. You know, that is kind of like, this is similar to like, a square is a rectangle,
but a rectangle is not a square.
Yes.
You know,
that is kind of my inspiration for this one.
Okay.
So I think we let this get in circulation about 40 years or so.
Hey, can't recycle garbage.
People are starting to use that.
Yeah.
And then we introduce an elongated one
where it's like,
rectangles ain't squares
and garbage ain't recycling.
Okay.
And that's the second phony phrase.
Yes, very good.
Where you just, hey, we agree,
like just because the opposite of something is true
doesn't make the inverse also true.
Right.
Rectangles ain't squares and garbage ain't recycling.
I like the, yeah, can't recycle garbage a lot.
Because I was trying to think of one last night, actually,
with recycling bins because-
It was trash day.
Yeah, as passionate as I am about recycling,
the main reason I recycle is because
there's twice as much room for us to put our garbage.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
But not everything goes in the recycling bin,
like you're saying.
Garbage is...
You can't recycle garbage.
You can put recycling items in the garbage.
Right.
But you can't recycle garbage.
Dang, that's good.
There's my funny phrases.
It's like you can be a father and a son,
but sons can't always be fathers.
Yeah, it's like the mother rushes her son
to the operating room and says,
I can't operate on him.
This is my son.
How is this possible?
It's something like that.
The doctor says I can't operate on him.
It was a female doctor, you sexist.
That's the answer to the riddle. You guys get it.
Can't recycle garbage.
It's like pouring water on ducks back.
That's fun. Funny phrases.
I love them.
Let us know your phony phrases.
Thanks to the ghosties for helping me out with mine.
Phony phrases.
Fun.
You have a win of the week, you guys. Oh yeah. I got two. First one was
I got to have breakfast with my family at McLean's today. That might sound pretty normal
to have breakfast with your family. Cleaner's coming. Cleaner's coming. We had to get out of
the house. But even more than that, literally all five of us had a meal together for the first time in so long. It's just like, like Catherine has just been struggling so much, man.
And so it's just been like, yeah, just, it's just been a rough time. And so it was just sweet to
like, I mean, we were kind of rushed at McLean's, but still it was fun to like eat nice, good stuff
together. Uh, we had, you know, treated ourselves with coffee. It wasn't as good as major roasters,
of course, but fun times. Um, so that was a sweet time that's a nice time we should get major roasters for lunch
that's yes yeah absolutely we should order in some good ranchers too
and then other one of the week samuelson pointed it out wait i said mainstream roasters i meant
keep going sorry i meant mclean it's one of the same same thing that mclean street roasters yep
uh that's where starbucks or sorry tainter roasters west and mclean street roasters um
oh side note i saw some ghosties at mclean's the other day fun from michigan that were that one of
the girls lives in town laura and then her two friends, Hannah and Elizabeth were in town from Michigan.
And they were like, we've been listening to you guys for four years. We were hoping that you'd
be here. And I was like, I was like in a corner and they came and they found me and they're like,
we were nervous. We didn't want to say hi to you. I was like, always say hi.
Four years from Michigan. You gotta say something.
You gotta say, I promise I'll never be an, unless you can see me like visually in a fight with
Catherine. That's the only time I do not want you to come up to me any other time.
It can be like,
Oh,
you look stressed with your kids.
I'm not that stressed.
Not too stressed to say how fine.
Yeah.
They're kids.
They're not gonna remember any of it.
They don't floss.
Exactly.

Fun.
Rachel, come back

Rachel's a savant at this.

I think before we started recording,
I said I can get Wordle pretty quick,
but Rachel is so much better
than me at connections.
Yeah.
She is so much better.
Thank you.
It is fun.
It's just amazing
the power of multiple minds on something.
So it's like, I don't know.
Jake doesn't know.
And then Rachel comes in.
She's like, I mean, it's gumshoe turned cup, obviously.
The things at the end are things you wear.
Hey, that's just my experience showing.
Yeah, exactly.
I've just seen a lot.
Yeah.
We need to be better at dissecting the words, I feel like.
Well, yeah.

Schmores.
Let's wait on sponsoring Main Street Roasters until during the schmores,
because that's part of my schmores.
Maybe.
Don't steal it.
So who won, Tymon?
Who won last week's schmores?
I know the results are still tight.
I believe Jake.
Jake pulled it out.
I think it's going to be barely me.
Let's see. Thank you for the votes, everyone. Oh. tight. I believe Jake. Jake pulled it out. I think it's going to be barely me. Let's see.
Thank you for the votes, everyone.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Oh, my goodness.
It's changed.
I'm up by 1%.
Wow.
Wow.
I was just giving my acceptance speech.
Truly, when we started the podcast, I was at 42, and Tymon was at 39%.
It's Brad.
Brad's the independent.
He's still in votes away from me. A vote for Brad is a vote for Tymon right now. Because I was at,%. It's Brad. Brad's the independent. He's stealing votes away from me.
A vote for Brad is a vote for Timon right now.
Because I was at like what before?
How many?
I mean, 17.
Like in the teens.
Yeah.
I just unplugged my headphones.
Hey, unplug and hang out.
That's what they say.
What's up, guys?
Because it rhymes so well.
How is that image of Brad being two inches from the camera?
I caught the tail end of it.
I think there's something there.
Okay, Tymon, you're in the lead, I guess.
So you can go first.
Oh, man.
Or you can choose the order.
Oh, yeah, it's true.
Oh, true.
I was making him make one more decision.
Tymon, you're making one more decision.
I spent so much time late last night figuring out all my quick cues and my phony phrases,
just completely neglected the schmores.
I did it.
I did it while we were recording the last episode.
I did it in between episodes.
I was like, oh, just...
This is going to be a good list.
Okay.
Okay, Jake first, then me, then Brad.
Oh, and the schmores is ways to save money.
Pretty open-ended. I don't know what you guys have planned.'mores is ways to save money. Pretty open-ended.
I don't know what you guys have planned.
Yeah.
Ways to save money.
All right.
So we got Jake, Ty, and Brad.
Is that what you said?
Yeah.
I got something written down.
This is a tearing down bridge situation again.
I just wrote this down an hour ago.
What does this mean?
Just use it for your first one.
We'll just do it verbatim.
I don't know what it means.
I'm just going to say it.
We're going to discard it.
Okay.
Let me get it out of my system.
Make your own guests.
Guests.
Like a guest to your home.
Make your own guests.
Make your own guests.
Why did I write that?
What does that mean?
Was it a typo you didn't catch?
That seems like one of those,
I am doing this while I'm doing something else,
and I had something else pop into my head,
and I wrote it down.
Oh, make your own granola,
I think is what that is.
Make your own guess.
What was I saying?
Were you doing it on your computer or your phone?
Computer.
Yeah.
All right, that one's discarded.
Well, hey, so I can't use make your own guess?
You can't use make your own guess, sorry.
That's kind of BS.
Well, I get to go first.
Okay.
All right.
First pick, the s'mores of ways to save money.
It's called leftover soup.
Okay.
What you do is you have just a little bit of leftovers here,
a little bit of leftovers here.
You think, oh, man, that's not really enough for a whole meal.
I guess we'll go out and spend money.
Nope.
Leftover soup.
Get a little broth, heat it up, throw it in there.
Yeah, it's fine.
Heat up some water, microwave it, whatever.
You'll be fine.
A little leftover soup.
It'll probably taste good.
You make it fun.
You make it fun for the kids.
A lot of mine are family themed.
These are themes for the whole family to get behind.
Guys, it's
leftover soup night.
You know how, yeah, kids, you know how you guys struggled to
eat any of these foods? Let's
all put them all together in a brothy form
and I'm sure you're going to love it now. Well, I didn't tell you. I go
put on a cape because I'm a superhero.
That's fun. So I put on the super
I'm Superman. Where do you get
your cape? DIY.
Thank you. Yep. That's right. Yeah. Leftover capes. Leftover capes. It's a your cape? DIY. Thank you.
Leftover capes is a different business I have.
Alright, leftover soup. First pick.
That and make your own guest.
Make your own guest.
Okay.
I'm going to say
the McDonald's app.
Can we just say
restaurant apps? Is that too broad?
Okay. You can say can we just say restaurant apps? Is that too broad? Okay.
You could say that.
You could say that.
Restaurant apps.
Restaurant apps.
But McDonald's app is what I wrote down first.
Dude, I was talking to my boy Sam Seavers the other day.
He is a savant on the Taco Bell app.
He's like, that would cost you $9.75 without the app.
It cost me $6 with the app.
I was like, dang, that's a pretty good savings.
Yeah.
So apparently Taco Bell app's really good. that's a pretty good savings yeah so apparently
taco bell app's really good that's fun yeah just really knowing your way around the restaurant apps
yeah use the quick trip app yeah i remember when it first came out it was giving out a lot of oh
like the 12 days of christmas thing yeah something free every day what do you what do they got on
there these days um not that much no 50 cent small copy though, which is what I got. Okay. Oh yeah.
You have it right there, don't you?
I do.
I see you didn't eat all your granola balls and I gave you.
By the end, by the end.
Hey, saving them, saving them, saving money.
That's right.
Yeah.
Just, uh, taking snacks and drinks from your podcast co-hosts. Okay.
Um, you guys, you guys are going a little goofier than, and I have goofy, but just,
I just put normal things down.
I said, uh, cooking at home.
Don't, don't go out to restaurant.
Just cook at home.
I have that written down.
I left over soup.
I didn't like writing it, but I did write it down.
Why didn't you like writing it?
I just, it's too basic.
No, it's just like, he just didn't want to do it.
Going out to eat is just like the best.
Awesome.
There is nothing like... The best. Awesome. It's the best.
There's nothing like it.
Food at home is better.
Money-wise, but I love getting food places.
Tommy, do you want to get lunch today at Main Street Roasters?
Dang it, I keep saying that.
You didn't do it on purpose?
I promise.
I promise I didn't do that on purpose.
I even paused.
It probably sounded like I did that.
I promise I didn't. At McLean's? Sure. No pressure. Could be fun. I'd get didn't do that on purpose. I even paused. It probably sounded like I did that. I promise I didn't.
At McLean's? Sure.
No pressure. Could be fun. I get some work done there, too.
Could be fun. Hey, hey.
Going out to eat.
I love it.
Alright, next one.
Tweak the thermostat.
Tweak?
It's amazing. You and my dad would get along nicely
you're hot open up a window you know you're cold uh take off the heat
you say cold take off your shirt wait go get a cold shower then you're cool yeah yeah you don't
know what cold is yeah take off your shirt get shirt. It's cold inside Godside. It's probably not cold.
No, just the other night it was, I mean, we were just having like these fluctuations of heat and
not, and all of a sudden it went from like 65 in our house to 75. And I was like, golly,
it's hot in here. Turn on the AC in February. It was wild. So didn't save money, but if I wanted
to, I could just kept it going and open up some windows.
Wait, when you say tweak the thermostat, I think of going on a thermostat and changing
the temperature.
You mean like, yeah, don't tweak the temperature.
I think that's, I think what I'm getting is like, don't necessarily change it.
Just like change something else.
Change your environment.
Own the thermostat.
Don't let the thermostat own you.
Wow.
Right.
I rent my thermostat to avoid being owned by it. Yeah.
Makes more sense if you don't touch it that often.
Just a rent. Rachel and I
still haven't turned on the AC.
That's not surprising. We love the heat.
Love that heat. What do you think it is
right now? 74. Okay.
Not bad.
Alright. I have
not going into debt.
You could.
Just by definition, ways to save money.
Have more.
Make money.
That's funny.
Okay, Tymon, care to elaborate on that?
Yeah, just probably save money that way.
If you don't spend money that you don't own.
That's right.
That's right.
Okay. And the McDonald's app. That's right. Okay.
And the McDonald's app.
Yeah. All those things.
I got distracted. Next, I know we've looked at Timon's search history before. Let's look at Timon's
bookmarks here in a little bit.
Let's talk about bookmarks.
I'm curious about a couple.
Next,
if you're in a really bad spot financially,
maybe you would get to this position.
I don't think I could ever do this and sleep well at night.
This is called going to a Mexican restaurant.
They serve you chips and queso.
They say, what can I get started for you guys?
You say, I'll take a couple waters.
You eat your chips and queso, and you leave.
Oh, chips and salsa.
What did I say?
Queso.
Bad of me.
Make your own guests. Make
your own queso.
That's probably what it was. Make your own queso.
There's a U in there, second letter.
Dine and dash chips
and salsa. Sorry,
I'm distracted by you thinking there's only
one letter that's the same between queso and queso.
Yeah, those are pretty, fairly similar. Yeah, the U is
in there. There's also an E as dine and dash.
Yeah, chips and queso, dine and dash.
Chips and salsa.
Dang it.
Sums up.
Nature roasters.
Nature roasters.
Yeah, that's a way to save money.
Okay.
You get a nice little appetizer for free, I think.
I mean, you probably can't do it more than once,
but you could do it once.
Yeah, what would they think if, like...
Oh, we're good. Thanks.
We're out.
All right. You got another one?
Next. Okay, I already said leftover soups.
We're going to do DIY spa day.
Okay.
Just because you're not swimming in Benjamins
doesn't mean you don't deserve to treat yourself
from time to time so hey you got vegetables cut up your own little cucumbers throw them in the
freezer fridge i don't know how it works i've never done my own diy and then you put your own
cucumbers on your eyes okay that'd be fun once again get the whole family involved yes we're
doing massage trains we're having the kids be employees and help massage mom.
Pain her fingernails.
Pain her toenails.
Mom gets treated.
It's DIY Spa Day.
That's fun.
And tonight, leftover soup.
Mom's got cucumbers on her eyes, so she can't see it.
Then she hears dad come out of the bedroom.
Who's ready to get super tonight? He's got his cape on. so she can't see it and then she'll see her dad come out of the bedroom.
Who's ready to get super tonight?
He's got his cape on.
Oh, and by the way,
don't toss those cucumbers.
I need them for the soup.
Yes, right.
I used all of them.
They'll be fine.
The water's boiling so it'll get off the bed
from your eyes.
Okay.
Tymon, I'm sure you had
those things on your list,
but go ahead.
Sorry if I took them.
Yeah, my bad.
Okay.
Get stuff on eBay.
Get stuff on eBay. Get stuff on eBay.
Secondhand.
Yeah.
There's some stuff that's just fine used and way cheaper.
That's a good word.
Okay.
Mine aren't that fun.
What's the last thing you bought off eBay?
Can you remember?
Or bought secondhand?
A vintage camera lens.
Ooh, fun.
Like $60.
There's like old, like the bokeh, the blurry background looks like nice and swirly.
Shooting with the cap on, though.
Ah, darn.
Maybe.
Does anybody on eBay these days actually bid, or is it always buy it now?
I always filter to just buy it now.
Oh, really?
I don't want to wait to bid, and also I feel like it'll just shoot up to a really high price.
If you're a Gen Z, why wait wait on anything just get it over with just
i'm done with this i want it oh i got lectured by my dad like uh trying to like i wanted like a
black binder for like something some school thing went to amazon i was like i'll just get it on
amazon like it'll get here tomorrow yeah and he's like oh no i just sometime when i'm in town i'll just like go to a store and get i'm like why why this is what amazon specializes in is like getting things to like this
random thing you need like fast and you know exactly what you're getting exactly like you
guys go to the store look through so many options find the cheapest and fastest one and he's like
but but that he i think he was just like but then they're just making like this extra trip right out
of the way on their route like they're
They're like they have to come to our house like out of the way of their already established. I'm like
This is what they advertise. It's tough. Yeah, but also I kind of see both sides
I think he was like I think
My sister got into like Anna. She's like Amazon is the biggest company. You're not costing them
I mean, it's like I don't know because he was kind of
like well there's like small businesses like they don't he's thinking like maybe like a five dollar
expense he's like for i kind of see his point like yeah they're going so out of the way yeah
for this thing they're not making money because yeah if amazon did yeah that a million times if
everyone ordered only a binder yeah they would have to charge way more for everything but i'm
just thinking, this huge
company, that can't be a big deal.
He's like, don't order on Amazon. I'll go to
Walmart and buy it.
That's what he was saying. I'm like, that's not better
though, I feel like. Yeah, that's a tough...
It's interesting. Quick fun fact, Anna
Imch always comes up to me on Facebook
as a suggested friend. It's like,
Anna Imch, ad friend? Huh? Interesting.
Always. Always an option. It's her laying down in, ad friend. Interesting. Always, always an option.
It's her like laying down in a field.
Very familiar with her profile picture.
Smelling horses.
That's an old picture.
I took that picture.
Wow.
Boca?
Yeah, I was going to say.
Old school lens?
Boca?
All right, guys.
My last two.
I'm going to say drinking water.
You go to a restaurant or anywhere, drink water.
Water, please.
What would you like to drink?
A beer for $17?
No, thanks.
I'll have a water.
Also, when you drink water, you're more full, so you don't eat as much.
Save money that way.
You can also argue that with soda or something, too.
You drink a lot of soda.
Appetite suppressant.
Is it?
Oh, yeah.
Caffeine is.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, man. You ever had coffee and then like,
I don't need to eat for hours. Yeah, I've had coffee.
A lot of people have coffee for their breakfast.
Yeah.
But water.
Hey, hey. Sorry, not my pick. Also water.
You drink water, you're healthier.
Therefore, you're saving money on medical bills.
Good word. Also water.
You have better phlegm because of water you're saving money on medical bills. Good word. Also water. You,
you have better,
you have better phlegm because they're water.
So you don't get sick as much.
So then therefore you're able to work more.
Also money.
Where do people get baptized?
Water.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's probably the final point.
So how much money can you save when you get baptized?
Plenty.
90%.
So drinking water. And then my last one,
I'm going to say I'm in between a few here. Um, I'm going to say, get your coffee at home for
Main Street Roasters, brew your coffee home. Don't go to Main Street Roasters, East, West,
wherever here in Kansas city, we don't have our own specific branch. So I go to MainStreetRoasters.com.
I go click, click, click. I use promo code GRKC,
10% off. 90% full price. It's just, I mean, I probably save on average $50 a month from
drinking my coffee at home versus going somewhere for it. That my friend is sipping up some savings.
That my friend is drinking down some dollars. Brew your coffee at home from Main Street Roasters.
Your turn, your turn, your turn.
That, my friend, is brewing some bucks back into your wallet.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Oh, really?
That, my friends, is nailing, tamping. There we go. Tamping.
There we go.
Tamping down some treasury notes.
There it is.
Bang.
Got it.
That, my friends,
is slurping down some...
Cents.
Stocks.
Oh, cents.
Slurping down some cents.
Good.
You win.
Brewing coffee for me.
All right.

Tymon, you got one more.
I think I have two more, right?
Wait, no, I have...
Oh, Tymon.
Nope, nope.
Tymon, Tymon, Tymon.
Never do a fancy draft.
Okay, I'll say getting a bunch of microwave popcorn,
like a bulk box of it.
Getting a bunch of it.
Just a whole bunch. Why microwave popcorn? Because... Out of all the... like a bulk box. Kidding. A whole bunch.
Why microwave popcorn?
Because it's so filling.
Oh,
because mine are corn and bulk.
Listen,
because it's,
it's 11 PM.
Okay.
I'm hungry.
It's,
it's,
hey,
it's a,
why don't you just drink some coffee?
It's breakfast in China.
It's breakfast in China right now.
Um,
I'm feeling a little hungry for like a nice midnight snack.
Okay.
Wait, what time is it?
Nice 11 p.m. snack.
Okay, okay.
So it's common saying it's more of like a...
No, I'm just kidding.
That's a good phony phrase.
Midnight snacks aren't always at 12.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
It's midnight snack o'clock somewhere.
But yeah,
just that's a good thing to eat.
And it probably saves money
when you buy it in bulk.
That's true.
I love that.
It's true.
I love not saying just like buy,
buy things in bulk.
Like that's too.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I wouldn't buy it.
I wrote down what timing literally said,
getting a bunch of microwave popcorn.
It's the only thing you save on buying in bulk, I'm pretty sure.
I don't think anything else is cheaper in bulk.
Costco takes a loss in almost everything
except for the microwave popcorn section.
That's where they, yeah.
Vice versa, yeah.
Yeah, I had it backwards, whatever.
You're struggling.
I don't know what's going on.
New bubbler flavor today.
Next, this one's fun for the whole family,
just like all of them.
It's called Garden Gold Rush.
Okay.
Need I say more?
The gold is buttery popcorn.
And his neighbor, Tymon,
has sprinkled popcorn amongst the vegetables.
Get what you can.
This is just making a game,
making a...
I imagine I've got...
Really, I imagine
I'm raising your kids.
I love it.
And they're homeschooled
and they're going to get
a little history lesson
and also we're going to make them
their own gardeners
and they get really excited
to garden themselves.
Okay.
And then it's a competition.
We're going to do Garden Gold Rush. We're going to go and collect and we it's a competition we're gonna do garden gold rush
we're gonna go and collect and we're gonna ride these fake horses over and try and collect the
gold which is a cucumber for oh guess what diy spa day it all connects how is that saving much
just because the cucumbers you're not buying them you're yeah basically you're you're it's basically
start a garden okay but it's for the whole family so it's a yeah garden gold rush so yeah grow your own vegetables
rather than buying them i'm so impressed that like not only did you do this while we were
recording last episode you you came up with some ridiculous idea it wasn't just like like mine
were like coupons uh buying off brand well don't get me wrong i had coupons on here and i chose
that one's not good oh there's no theme to it. There has to be a theme. Yeah. Once I started
with what I was like, well, I'll just keep this going. Oh man, this, this s'mores people are
going to be like, I don't know which one to vote for. They're all so good. Yeah. Uh, Jake said,
leftover soup, dine and dash trips and salsa fun for the whole family to die in a dash. DIY spa day, garden gold rush.
Tymon said, restaurant apps.
Not going into debt.
Getting stuff on eBay and getting a bunch of microwave popcorn.
Brad said, cooking at home, tweaking the thermostat, drinking water,
brewing coffee from Main Street Restores.
Other ones you guys had?
Honorable Minch?
Honorable Imchs I'd make
your own guess yeah I
had that one too and that was it
what about walking places
oh just walk
jump in or skip in let them walk
coupons
yeah brands I had
not going into a gas station
oh that's good I should have had
that one on my list but
on my like,
which one would you sub it out for?
Uh,
I have no idea.
They're all so good.
Pretty great.
That's a great call.
If I go into a gas station,
I got to get two things.
I,
yeah,
I talked to Catherine the other day.
I was like,
I thinking this was like,
I'm so proud of myself.
I was like,
I got gas the other day and I didn't buy anything from quick trip.
She's like,
I never buy anything.
I was like, I was like, yeah, but you don't understand. I was at quick trip and I didn't buy anything from quick trip. She's like, I never buy anything for quick trip.
So I got gas.
I was like,
I was like,
yeah,
but you don't understand.
I was at quick trip and I didn't go inside.
There's certain things in life.
When you don't do something,
you feel like you deserve a Nobel peace prize.
I remember going to a concert and this is like 2015 and I didn't Snapchat it.
I didn't record it.
I just sat there and looked at it.
I was like,
I give me a medal.
Give me a time man of the year.
I just consumed it with my eyes. I just watched, I give me a medal. Give me a time man of the year. I just consumed it
with my eyes. I just watched. Yeah.
Let myself watch. That's good.
That should have really been on my actual list
because but yeah, because it's like you're getting gas.
There's no reason actually unless you need something.
Yeah, I have two that mean the same
thing, but they're Brad uses. I said
making your own meals and I said not going out to
eat. So it's kind of the same thing.
It's a fact. Ranchers and then buy stuff by off brand stuff. Yeah. Bulk or no? baking your own meals. And I said, not going out to eat. So it's kind of the same thing. Ipso facto. Good ranchers.
And then buy stuff,
buy off-brand stuff.
Yeah.
Bulk or no?
Just popcorn.
No,
the popcorn is what you buy in bulk.
Everything else is off-brand.
I'm a fan of like anything you need,
anything you know you're going to need eventually,
paper towels,
toilet paper,
buy them in bulk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get them as cheap as possible.
Store them up.
You got,
you got attics if you need to. Like there's plenty of storage in your house that you're not using
toilet paper is one thing you should buy a good brand of i was gonna say there's certain things
that i want the high quality but i think with clothing you could definitely find like off-brand
alternatives there's so much markup amazon dupes is what the ladies call them dupes um what about
uh pickleball paddles yeah you don't need to be spending hundreds of dollars on a pickleball Dupes is what the ladies call them. Dupes. What about...
Pickleball paddles?
Yeah.
You don't need to be spending hundreds of dollars on a pickleball paddle.
Because they make them basically in all the same three places in America.
Or in China.
Yeah.
It's pickleball paddle time in China.
It's 002 in China.
How about thrift stores?
Promo code generators?
Renting from the library.
I've not had a lot of luck in the last six years using those like retail me not or honey or those kind of like promo code things for you.
Yeah, I'm a Capital One guy these days.
Really?
I didn't know in any way you were affiliated with Capital One.
I'm a Capital One shopping.
Save now.
Jake, in an episode I just listened to, you guessed a promo code for something.
That's fun i think it was like something you like guessed fresh 20 and like it just was the thing
give me the time man of the year i'm doing this stuff left and right that's another example just
like when you feel like man i'm just the best and then this one's this one's for the millennials in
the house limewire slash bit torrent whataving money. Oh, just like download music.
Yeah, you don't buy CDs.
You go to LimeWire.
When I first started trying to think of this,
I was trying to think of like ways to cut back,
cut cords, whatever.
It's like, you don't need Spotify Premium.
You don't need Netflix.
And I was like,
I don't have a Spotify Premium.
No, I mean, I'll select your own music.
Spotify Premium is a bummer.
Not having that's a bummer.
Yeah, you want to be able to select your own music.
Really just suck on the teat of your parents metaphorically netflix well spotify premium well or i mean just get nourished honestly life hack
leftover soup do it longer than than they tell you to yeah i mean save money honestly yeah as
long as it keeps producing uh-huh you keep feeding yeah what what vice versa
it keeps sucking you keep producing yeah i'm not trying to be funny but how does it work
typically oh with the creation of breast milk is it like once you stop regularly feeding a baby
then you will stop like is it chicken or the egg which stops first uh yes the when the when the
baby stops feeding then it'll stop producing you like
wean them off and then correct and then what happens is like sometimes moldy oh i don't know
i don't know we don't i don't know i think there is a little bit of like a like a weaning off like
even like you're i don't remember exactly intermittent um yeah yeah like i don't know
if they have to like pump a little bit you know i don't
remember i can't remember that but um can't wait yeah it's so fun dude it's so fun to watch um
no uh what was i gonna say sorry you're getting weird here um what were we gonna say about that
just oh some women some women have a hard time producing though so sometimes it is a little egg chicken version like sometimes it's like the the baby wants it but the mom women have a hard time producing though. So sometimes it is a little egg chicken version.
Like sometimes it's like the baby wants it,
but the mom's having a hard time.
So that's a big thing.
Don't feel guilty, mama.
Hey, not your fault, mama.
Formula's okay if you have to, mama.
A lot of mamas go through this.
That's right, mama.
You're still a rockstar, mama.
Yeah, like I think, katherine like i feel like yeah
with most of our kids like near the end of the first year she was not producing as much as the
baby wanted or something i don't blame a year that i'd get sick no it's amazing every day oh yeah
it's wild isn't it yeah and then there's some kids that are old enough to talk that are just like,
Mom, can I have some milk, please?
Saving money.
They make their own guests.
Oh, it's so weird.
It is wild.
Yeah, the talking should be way before then.
It shouldn't be stopped.
Somebody has a joke.
If they can communicate about it.
Yeah, it's like once they start ordering it a certain way.
I think that's the Ovan has that joke. He's like, when's a good time? He's like, I think once they start ordering it a certain way, I think that's the Ovan as that joke.
It's like, when's a good time?
I think once they start ordering it a certain way,
they're like, or something like that.
When you have preferences.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
That's been mamas.
It's been mamas.
It's been mamas.
What do we got next?
Let's, unless you have any other just things in your notes,
let's end it off with a little quick cues.
One, two.
Okay.
Just real quick fun thing that I think you would appreciate in my notes.
Getting to the Kansas City airport.
It is 6 a.m. probably, Friday morning.
It's so early.
Midnight snack time?
Hey, it's dinner in China.
And a kid, a little boy is walking next to me in the airport,
and he's just got YouTube blaring full volume out of his phone.
This boy's like probably six years old and that's how he's listening to music.
And what song is he playing at 6 a.m.?
Hot in Here by Nelly.
And for some reason I was like,
I think Brad would just love this.
This little boy is just blaring Hot in Here at 6 a.m.
Out of no headphones.
I have mixed feelings on it
because I don't know if a little kid should be listening to that song.
No, it wasn't great for the kid, but I was like, that's kind of interesting.
But man, do I think I like Nelly more than the average person.
I know you like Nelly.
Oh, man.
I think he's like Mount Rushmore for me.
I love...
We would like to see him on the...
His band-aid and everything.
That's fun, though. i like the image of that
i got excited because i thought it was the weird al version i was like oh cool
oh i don't know that one what's what's weird i'll say uh so rotten so rotten here nice

how should we do 60 seconds or 90 seconds, 60, 60 seconds. Uh, we're just going to pepper each
other with questions. And the idea is just don't think too hard on the answer. Just answer it,
Tymon. All right? Do you understand? Okay. Because I think
you're going to be the one I'm worried about.
Yeah, that's fair.
I don't know.
So we're just going to
maybe even, I don't know. I was going to say
we could put some music on in the background. We don't need
to do that. Next time. Next time.
Nelly.
And we're just going to go back and forth.
Who should we start?
Who wants to be the first?

I had a lot of thoughts before I said that, and it was 0.1 seconds.
I was trying to think what my dad's favorite is, and I have no idea.
Your dad's favorite is probably oak.
What are the redwoods?
There's red oak, and there's also white oak.
Are you saying redwood, like the trees?
I don't know.
I don't know what technically, that might be redwood.
I'm not sure.
When me and your dad went driving to go put out that fire last weekend,
he was telling me all about certain kind of oaks are in this tree
that are like protected.
I can't remember the whole story now, but yeah.
Wait, let's talk about putting out a fire.
Oh, yeah.
Rachel could maybe speak more about this.
I think it's somewhat common to burn CRP.
CRP, if you remember, is the type of farmer I wanted to become
where it's the government pays you not to farm your land.
You just burn your fields. And so you burn your fields
to keep it healthy in some way.
Nitrogen's probably involved.
Anyway, what we looked like
we saw, it was like black smoke. It was not
the typical smoke that
crops should be burning at. And so we were like,
let's go look into this. Looked
into it. We were ready to put out fire.
What does he bring with him
when he's ready to put out a fire?
Yeah.
Like, what does he have?
Like, what's his...
We were just going to smother it.
Yeah.
Just a big old blanket.
Yeah, just drop,
stop, drop, and roll
all over the multiple acre field.
Seriously, though.
We didn't bring anything.
We just went to go check on it. We were just investigating. Yeah, yeah. We were like, let's go see if this is actually a problem. Oh, though, we didn't bring anything. We just went to go check on it.
Yeah. Yeah. We were like, let's go see if this
is actually a problem. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Gotcha. Fun. Thanks,
Rachel, for answering. Where'd you guys get those questions?
I got some of mine from the
ghosties on Instagram live.
It's a new feature they're doing.
Honestly, just a lot of most
of them just off the dome.
Have fun. Rachel and I just off the dome. Wow. Have fun.
Rachel and I went live while running our mile.
Okay.
I think I probably won't do that anymore.
It was hard to keep the camera steady, and I was just breathing hard.
I can't read any of the comments.
I tried to hold it steady while I was holding it.
I'd hold my arm steady, and my arm got so tired.
Yeah.
Now we know.
You're not meant to run with your arm in one place.
Yeah. I got my font small. It's just hard to read. Yeah. Now we know. You're not meant to run with your arm in one place. Yeah. I got my font small.
It's just hard to read.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's like, can you still go live
even if you don't interact?
Just let them watch you.
You and Rachel talk.
Just let them watch. I don't even communicate back.
Anyway.
Fun so.
Thanks, Rachel Rachel for participating

time and get your
get your school bus and buckle in
Cameron
Micolac,
Jake,
Brad and timing.
Cameron here.
It's been great to listen to the pod and hear about your lives.
I became a ghosty from a combo of jean shorts and a friend telling me about
the ghost runners pod.
And I thought this would be a good time to leave a review.
He left the review on the YouTube,
um,
YouTubes.
So yesterday,
March 2nd,
my girlfriend surprised me with tickets to see trade Kennedy grew up to her
in Redding,
Pennsylvania.
And I got to see Jake perform, which was great.
For starters, walking to the place, I followed a group of Mennonite women into the arena.
Didn't know that was Trey's audience.
Thanks for saying arena.
It was not.
Oh, no.
I then walked in and saw Isaac stuck at the merch table.
Also stuck there.
Just planted there.
Cornered.
It's cool to meet someone featured on the pod from
your friend circle honestly isaac was such a cool guy and it was nice talking to him about
friday pickleball in life the comedy special was great the opener lucas was solid jake was
hilarious and traded not disappoint during the performances i sat in a row with roughly 25 people
of the 25 people 22 are white moms and then it was my girlfriend and me i know they're moms
those those women
are definitely moms. Uh, but the one person, but one other person was a 50 year old white man who
came by himself. He sat through Lucas and Jake, but left halfway through Trey leaving behind
multiple cans of Miller light. Interestingly, he did not laugh one singular time all night.
Is this normal? I would look over here and there, but not even a smirk of enjoyment,
psycho behavior. After the show, I had even a smirk of enjoyment, psycho behavior.
After the show,
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting you,
Jake,
with some friends from church,
fun stuff.
I live South of Reading.
So I had to drive.
He's talking about Amish crazy things.
And then he said,
all in all,
I had a great time seeing Jake and Trey perform,
hoping I will get to meet Brayden in time.
And someday,
thanks for all the laughs and stories you all provide.
Praise God and love you guys.
That's awesome.
I'll tell you, a lot of ghosties up northeast.
We should go to Pennsylvania and do something.
What was that guy's name?
Cameron.
Oh, yeah.
Remember meeting you.
Cool dude.
That's funny about the guy that just sat there the whole time.
Yeah.
Man, I'd like to think, surely I made him laugh at least once.
There's no way he didn't laugh at least once.
I know.
There's no way. Some of laugh at least once. I know. There's no way.
Some of the crowd work, he had to have.
I always take solace in the fact that I really enjoy things
that I don't laugh out loud at sometimes.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, maybe people have really enjoyed this episode,
but they didn't laugh out loud.
Yeah, I told Lucas after one of his sets this weekend,
I was like, hey, I was listening to it.
Like, I want you to know. I smiled the whole time.
I was excited
listening to it. It just really made me happy.
It was great. Smiling?
Can't hear it. That's a phony phrase.
Can't hear a smile.
But people still enjoy it.
You can still hear a smile with your
headphones. No, the one we said first was better.
Listen to my
smile. You can kind of hear my lips moving.
Can't kind of hear it.
There it is. Yeah.
So
when he said talk about Friday or to
Isaac about Friday pickleball, Isaac at the
writing show said he got his first legitimate
like completely
organic, like someone recognized him on friday
pickleball like not like oh i know you from ghost runners and isaac and yeah it happened to be a
scenario where this woman said she i guess she's at the merch table somehow with her friend she's
like just chatting up with isaac like i don't even know my friends love trey i don't even recognize
her i feel like i've never seen trey before but i'm just coming along to be a good sport and so
anyway i'm excited to see the show tonight, whatever. And as she gets talking, she's like, why do
you look familiar? Like, do you make videos? And I was like, I do a little bit. I can make
pickle videos. She's like, that's why you look familiar. No way. So she didn't know
me, didn't know Trey, didn't know anything, but recognized I, you know, purely alone from
the pickle videos. That's kind of fun. I don't think it's ever happened before. That's awesome.
It's starting. Kind of fun. That's cool.
Just, you know, sharks can't climb trees.
That's right.
All right.
This has been Wednesday episode.
Let's get out of here.
It is sundown in Beijing.
