Brad, I got a massage. Yeah, you did. Rachel treated me to a little something. She's like, hey, when you're done with the special, you know, kind of relax a little bit. So I got a massage this Monday morning and I really don't have much to take from it. It was a great massage.

Nothing weird. I very much specified light tissue. Do not hurt me. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like getting hurt in my massage. Yeah, I'm not trying to like make my muscles better. Yeah, just make me feel good for an hour. Yeah. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like getting hurt in my massage. Yeah. I'm not trying to like work out my muscles better. Yeah. Just,

just make me feel good for an hour. Yeah. Uh, but so everything was normal. It was like perfect every way. But one thing at the very beginning, she, she had me fill out my,

my intake form, which seems kind of serious for the situation. Yeah. Intake. Like I'm a patient. Yeah. So it was like, you know,

name, number, emergency contact. I would have to say contact form. Yeah, so it was like, you know, name, number, emergency contact. I would love to see that scenario. He's so comfortable. Put him in a stretcher. I've never seen him so relaxed. He has no friction on here to get him off. Oh, he's so oily. He's so slippery.

I didn't even think about that until just now. Get him in! Clear! And like the things don't even think about that until just now. Get them in! Clear! And like the things don't work on them because they just slip off. I can't get the things to stick. Anyway, so I did that. And then there was like, there was a picture of like the human body. Oh, yeah.

Circle any problem areas. How detailed is this human body? Not super detailed. Maybe it were. Whatever. And so like most medical forums, I'm just filling out no medication, no priority. is this human body? Not super detailed. Maybe it were. And so, like most medical forums,

I'm just filling out no medication, no priority. It is the get it done. And so then she's looking over the forum and she's like, okay, and I see

no problem areas. We're good everywhere. And I said, yeah, should be good. And she's like, what about the, she points at me

and she's like, what about the inflammation in your shoulder? Oh, I mean mean let's talk about the elf in the room i mean the huge quasimodo on your back right i was dressed like this i mean she's like pointing to like up here like my trap you're like what about yeah like in there what about that inflammation i was like't, I think. Did I not write that too? Oh my bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I should have turned it on her.

What about, what about that belly? Yeah. You got a little, you got a little information in your gut there. It looks like. That better not touch me. When we're recording.

Yeah. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat

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 it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Yeah, it was a hot start.

After that, it was very normal and very fun. And honestly, she seemed very wise to the point where he was like, I think she knows her stuff. I think she can just tell. I don't know. Interesting. Because you're known for having just massive traps. No, genuinely.

No, no, that sounded sarcastic. No. You're just known for like, you know. People won't shut up about it. People call you Jake Traps. They're obsessed with talking about it. Yeah, some people need mouse traps. Other people just need Jake Traps.

Yeah, I come over to your basement. No, I feel like, I mean, you're not like crazy buff everywhere else, but you got something going on up there. You think that's what she saw? I think so. And she's like, that's got to be swollen. She's like, flex for me. Do a quick curl. Just a

curl in the air and you're like, yeah, those aren't real. Yeah, other than that, it was normal. Did she focus a little bit up there? She did. Dude, there was one. I mean, now we're just going to get into it. There was one part where she found a knot, which I found myself in the chair.

You know, you're in this chair like this. It's almost hard to close your eyes because it spreads you out so much. So it's right outside of Springfield? Yeah, they just built the buckies there to rezone it. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah? We're the Indians, but not for too much longer.

Yeah, I don't know. I enjoy it while it lasts. My parents still live there, so I get down there longer i don't know i enjoy it a lot less my parents still live there so i get down there i don't know like three four times a year still yeah it really was like relax in here and you go in this hole or it just sends all your face like a joe biden yeah you like can't blink if you try you're like yeah yeah one sister You can't blink if you try. You're like, yeah. Yeah. One sister. Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm. So that was a fun part. Why did I even mention that? Oh, just, yeah, I'm trying to relax. That's going on. And then she found a knot, which that was also interesting. I was like, how does a knot work? I'm over here thinking about biology.

How does a knot work in your muscles, in the the tree and the knot of a tree anyway and i swear it she like found one and it was like i was imagining her like praying over it because she stopped moving her hands so like one hand went over it and i felt the other hand go over it and nothing happened for like 10 seconds. So I imagine her just being like. So is that it? I guess that's it. Thank you so much. This was great.

It really was like, I'm just going to lay hands on this. And like nothing happened for like 10, 15 seconds. That's a long time. Whatever she needs to do, do it. It felt like she noticed. She didn't move. Yeah, both hands were just on the point of contact, the point of pressure. She was warming it up.

And then one last weird thing, now that I'm thinking about it, at the very, very end, we'd got done. It was great. I had a good time. And she said, all right, well, come back and see us. And hey, make sure you, a lot of liquids today. Interesting.

I didn't feel like i had done any all i done was lay down for an hour was it warm in there or like the table was heated yeah you'd be surprised okay for an hour jake they're not you're not supposed to be in a hot tub for more than like 10 minutes you know yeah maybe it's the same thing a lot of heat a lot of liquids today i don't know why but i pushed a lot of heat. A lot of liquids today. I don't know why, but I... She pushed a lot of them out, apparently. Yeah, she squeezed them out. Ah, I need to go to the bathroom real quick. Excuse me.

I didn't drink enough liquids for this. I did. I listened to her. I had a lot of liquids that day. I don't know why. But no, it was great. It was fun. Nice of Rachel.

Was this the place that she got you a gift card a while back? Yes, and it was so annoying. They're all sole proprietors in there. So you can't just call the business. And yeah, they made me work for it, but I needed the massage by the time you're done booking it. Yeah, no, it was great. It was, I don't think this is ever something I could justify doing on a regular basis.

Cause it's purely like cosmetic. It'd be like repainting your car. It's like, this does nothing for you, but make you feel good temporarily. Yeah. Yeah. You know, cause like the next day you're still like, even if your stress is completely relieved, it's like, well, I still got to think

about everything tomorrow. It's not like going away forever. And to be honest, you're sitting there. You don't want to fall asleep because then you won't be able to feel the sensation of the relaxing feeling of massage. At the same time, your brain's still operating. Yeah.

I can't just sit there and relax. But you also don't want to like talk to the person the whole time. Like, was she talkative? No, it was great. She let me just chill. But I mean, the whole time just thinking about what else I have to do the rest of the day. So, cause yeah, Catherine, whenever for Christmas this year, I bought her like four massages, three before she had the baby and one after. Whoa. Yeah. It was like, like, like they have like prenatal whatever massage. Cause like, should get one of those. Yeah. Who knows? I haven't had anything natal yet.

I am prenatal. You are prenatal, technically. And so, yeah, anyway, but she said the first time, like the first like 45 minutes, she just talked pretty constantly. I don't like that. And I think she finally kind of picked up the vibe that Catherine was not really wanting to talk much more. I wondered this while on the heated table. How I was thinking about a

woman being massaged, and I was thinking is the table different for them? Because I was on my chest for an hour. I was like, I'm fine, but that's got to hurt. Or even prenatal, if someone's pregnant, do they have a concave

table? That's what I was thinking about. There's like a hole in it or something? Yes. Yeah. Just like, yeah, just, or for me, like, just like, we'll give you the prenatal one if you want. It's $15 more, but that inflammation is going to be a lot more comfortable in there. Oh yeah. Okay, great.

Let's go ahead. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know about all that.. Yeah, I don't know about all that. I don't know. I do know that they don't do, it's not like a deep tissue massage

if you're prenatal. They don't go as intensely. Good. Whatever. That's fun, though. I'm glad you're... Yeah, it was fun. It's something fun to do

maybe once a year or something like that. Yeah, how much do you have anymore on the gift card? Or did you... Had a little discrepancy on the gift card. I'm talking 10 times more about this massage

than I planned on. I was like, everything was very normal. I'm not going to extrapolate a bunch of that. Welcome to Ghostrunners. So I go to pay, and I have a gift card, and she swipes it, and she goes, all right, you still owe like $15 or something. And I go, oh, the back of the gift card says,

like it's written in, but it says $200. She's like, let's see. She's like card says, like, it's written in. But I said, it says $200. She's like, let's see. She's like, okay. Yeah, it did start with $200. But then it was swiped once in 2021 and once in 2022. And so. You're like, I got it in 2023. Yeah, I was like, well, my wife got this for me and we met in 2021.

So something's up. Yeah. No, I kind of came to the conclusion. I was like, they must just reuse gift cards. It's all the same serial number. Which is wild. And they just reloaded up. Yeah. No, I kind of came to the conclusion. I was like, they must just reuse gift cards. It's all the same serial number. Just wild. And they just reloaded it. Okay.

And I was like, oh, I bet that's what happened. And she like didn't accept my explanation. She's like, no, let's figure this out. I was like, no, it's fine. I bet that's what happened. It's good. Just get out of here. I don't know.

This is weird. You're right. That is weird. It's good. So I had to pay a little out of pocket. Okay. Well, okay. So it's not. Nothing's left. Yeah. We're right. That is weird. It's good. So I had to pay a little out of pocket. Okay. Well, okay. So it's not... Nothing's left. We used it. Anyway, how are you? What's up? I'm good. Yeah. I just got home from Ohio for my grandma's burial service, which was great.

I was glad I went. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it happen. Long story short, did. And yeah, I hadn't really spent much time in Ohio. I know we had a lot of listeners in Ohio. And it was so funny, man. Well, first of all, I feel your pain because so often- Two flights? Dude, yes, genuinely. Like so often in Kansas City,

we're so spoiled by direct flights. And for whatever reason, to Cleveland, I could not get a direct flight. Yeah, I've been doing it all tour long. There and back. Oh man. I was like, I was like, surely, cause it was going to be so expensive no matter what airline I was like, surely maybe it's not Southwest, but Delta will fly direct. It's Cleveland. It's not that far. And it's a big enough city. Like it's Cleveland baseball. They got, they got big sports teams there like LeBron. So anyway, did not get it, but flew to Nashville and then to Cleveland.

And I'll just say this without judging Cleveland too much yet. The flight to Nashville, beautiful. I mean, one to 10 as far as looks of people. I feel like aggregate or median number, seven and a half. Good people going to Nashville. Just beautiful people. Like happy people. Somebody looked like maybe they were going to Nashville. Just beautiful people. Like happy people. Somebody looked like maybe they're going

to their bachelorette party. Shocker. Yeah. And flight from Nashville to Cleveland, just people did not look like they were excited to be in Cleveland. Going to their union job. Oh, man.

It was just like Rust Belt City. Not a super fun vibe in the Cleveland airport. It's funny. So Isaac, when we're at these shows, Isaac truly gets to see our fans because he sees everybody who comes in. And we joke, we're like, Isaac, you should give us a rundown pre-show

of like what you're seeing, you know, because sometimes we're like, is he older tonight? Is he younger tonight? Whatever. In Salt Lake City, he made it a point several times and I was like,

they are very attractive here. Yeah. And he was like, it's just crazy. It's just like, it a point several times like, they are very attractive here. And he was like, it's just crazy. It's just like, it's noticeably a higher attractiveness level across the board. I was on the phone with Steven Swick yesterday. He's helping out with some Bondi stuff. And anyway, he was at Salt Lake City.

And unprovoked, he was like, also, by the way, everybody is very attractive here. I was like, that's what Isaac is just saying too. Dude, there's something about if you follow an account that's Mormons, it's like, everybody is very attractive here. I was like, that's what Isaac is just saying too. Dude, there's something about like, if you follow an account that's like Mormons, like it's like, I'm pretty sure they're Mormon without even know, like there's like, they're kind of good looking, healthy looking.

Good skin. There's something going on. No caffeine in that skin. Yeah, maybe it is. Maybe it's just the lack of coffee that's just doing just fine for them. I don't know. Whatever it is, you can see it.

You can smell it and you can enjoy it. Go to Salt Lake City. So anyway, but Cleveland, so I'm in Cleveland. I actually drive from Cleveland to Sandusky, Ohio, which is just even more exciting than Cleveland. But Jensen Harper, ghosty Jensen, friend Jensen, calls me, and he's like, I was like, you'll never believe where i am because he's from cincinnati area lebanon and i'm like i'm in sandusky ohio and he goes what are you doing that crap hole and i go well i'm here for my grandma's funeral so you know what 90s movie i think of when i hear sandusky ohio tommy boy good job is that where it's from it's where the plant is i In my head, that's kind of what I

like something about Sandusky. I just remember that coming across like in white letters at the bottom of the screen. Sandusky, Ohio. I did not see Tommy there. Ah. Or David Spade. Tommy Callahan. Yeah, anyway, it was a great time. Yeah, went to like the cemetery where

my grandma, you know, like where my grandpa was buried. It's like a half mile down the road from my grandma's farm that she grew up on. Oh, cool. It was just really cool. It was a, you know, I hadn't really experienced that much of that side of the family. And yeah, it was just really cool. My dad showed us around. He was in the, or my grandpa was in the army.

So my dad moved like literally 22 times, I think in 20 years. He's good at geography. Yeah. But I think there was like two different times where he lived in Norwalk, Ohio, where this was. And so he showed us his houses and told us some memories and stuff, which was cool. That's fun.

Anyway, yeah, it was a good time. It was, yeah, nothing wild. I have some other like quick observations from the flight, though. Oh, yeah, tell us about your flight last night. Oh, the luxurious need. Yeah.

Yeah. So I'm, I'm, yeah, I, I board the plane from Nashville. Um, also just once again,

checks out just Cleveland, Nashville doing all right. Nashville to Caden city doing better. Um, and all love to Cleveland. Honestly, actually the Cleveland airport, now that Kansas City has a new airport,

I'm just all of a sudden like pretentious about other airports. Have you felt this at all? A little bit. I'm a little just kind of just get me out of here with airports. Right. But I was in such denial that Kansas City's old airport was bad.

Like I was like, it's great. You can walk right in. It's right there. And now that Kansas City has this new, incredibly brand new like airport um like cleveland's airport was totally adequate it wasn't crazy but it was like fine and i was just like oh this place was just 20 years old golly yeah it has a shake shack sure

but like i mean i love a shake shack i know exactly like solid city it's a good airport yeah that's nice um kansas city messed up like, hey, we're only doing local vendors. Yeah. Get me a Chick-fil-A in here ASAP. They tried too hard with that one. I don't want Brazilian barbecue. Pigwich? I don't trust Pigwich from one day to the next.

No. Right? You can have a good Pigwich experience, and then the next one's like, huh, they messed this up today. And I'm only there at 7 a.m. I've never wanted pig, which also true. Um, what was I saying? Oh, the airport. So, uh, first of all, I was picking up

Oh yeah. Yeah. I was, yeah. I was on the airplane yesterday sitting there and all of a sudden, yeah. In walks, luxurious sneed onto the airplane. Who's like the chiefs X cornerback who just signed a huge deal with the Titans. I figured if he's in Nashville, I couldn't remember it was that or the Colts, but I mean, huge, like one of the bigger deals in the NFL,

right? For this off season. Yeah. One of the best defensive players to, to sign a new contract. And so therefore has all the money in the world. And first of all, it's flying Southwest.

Second of all, wasn't even like, didn't even pay to upgrade to boarding group A. That's so funny. Like he was in boarding group A. He was back of B. I mean, he was probably B57. He was way back there. Yeah, what'd he just sign?

Just like a $38 million contract or something? Yeah, he could do whatever he wants. And he's, and that's one of those things where it's just like, okay, everyone's regular. Everyone's a human. Everyone's a person that's just like, I don't know, I'll just get this flight. Get me to Kansas City, whatever.

Yeah. That's fun that you saw him. I saw him. We made eye contact, and I just nodded, and he goes, nodded back. That's nice. I was like, I'm not going to. I didn't know what to say.

What would you have said if you could say something? It's a tough situation. You're already seated, and he's just walking by. Correct. And I'm window too. I think I'd go up the fist bump. Enjoy Tennessee. Yeah, enjoy Tennessee.

See you later. I thought about being like, thanks for the memories or something like that. That's, I don't know. You would do the song. Thanks for the memories. I just start playing it and I just shove it in his face. You get it.

Just the chorus, just the chorus part. I don't know what it's saying now. But no, I, on the way there, I was having to wait and pick up my cousin who was flying in after me.

And so I checked my bag and didn't bring a backpack with me. So I was just, Whoa. It was, it was an unbelievable hands-free. Yeah. I brought a book. And so then I felt even more like phone wallet book. That's it. AirPods. Yeah. Phone wallet book. And I felt like just this intellectual, I'm better than you kind

of guy. Oh yeah. As you should walking through security. Like they're like, do you have any, oh, you don't even have a bag. And I'm like do we with books yeah books go in the tub just a book if it's just one book it's my second book i've read all year so i put it in here i plan on starting it once we get up to 10 000 feet and i have to put my phone on airplane mode where do i put that um that's great just having a book but i felt like the top of the world and then i was you, waiting in line at the Southwest, uh, line area and this guy needed to get around me. And so I kind of leaned back onto like the window of the airport or like the wall. And I thought the wall was this close and it was like maybe a good eight inches farther back. Exactly. I like, I was like, Oh no problem. And then I, I,

I thought I was so convinced I was going to fall out of the airport, airport. Like I looked like such an idiot. I guarantee you after like thinking in my head, like, Oh, I bet I look just like,

just so like, I'm a book. Yeah. We'll just fall back into that, uh, with something else. But uh,

airplane, uh, judginess. i got to fly first class this past week and oh i laid the judgment on heavy you know you can sit down first i'm just cross my arms just staring at him yeah really where has it all gone wrong for you right you can't afford what i'm doing you're not even preferred seating you're like a middle in the back oh my gosh yeah how'd that happen? It was so Tom booked all these for us a long time ago. And when he did book them, it was only like $15 extra per person to go to first class and checking a bag would have cost 50. You get a free check bag.

It literally made financial sense to do first class seats. Saving money. And so we all booked them. Well, this is, this is to go from Denver to Salt Lake city. So it's the day of the special Trey and Alan decide, Hey, we need to get there earlier like just in case yeah so they get out of first class tom's like well i'll go with you guys so he has to leave first class they end up flying southwest so then it's just me dj travis um lucas and isaac so us four uh like the lowest people on the totem pole all got uh first class the flight was delayed heavily. So Trey and Alan made the right decision. Well, but how was it delayed once you were on the plane? That would have been awesome. I know we got a circle. Do it a few more times. We'll take another round of Sundays. Was this your first first class experience?

So last tour, someone else was in charge of booking and she forgot to book flights one time for half of us. And so the only flights available were first-class seats. So it was funny. She'd remembered Trey and Katie, forgot me, Tom, and Travis. And so we go on board first. We're like, whoa, this is 3B. Oh, my gosh.

It was Alaskan Airlines flight, so it was not very exciting. But still, it was just so funny. Trey's got him and Katie in a bunch of bags, and he's got his coffee, and he's just walking by and sees me and Lucas and Tom. Like, what's going on? Why are you sitting here? I'm in the very back.

It's not allowed. Yeah. You're the bottom of the total. Get up. Yeah, Trey's like, am I paying for this? This is ridiculous. But this time, he knew. He knew what he was doing.

And yeah, it was so fun. We were all so excited. Yeah, just me, Isaac, Lucas, and Travis. And dude, it was kind of like Stanford Prison experiment type things were happening because we knew we were first class we got to the gate early we couldn't wait and then they start doing the boarding process like all right pre-boarding handicap or military you know me and lucas like you got to be kidding me i mean this country they just give everyone well they're just gonna roll in in front of us really yeah and then yeah so luc're luke's and i love just joking around

constantly and but then they did like first class priority so that we didn't have access to god are you kidding me i've never you'll never feel important yeah like i've never noticed this i've never been first class was like the one time we thought we'd get to board the flight immediately and i mean there's 30 people on the plane before we get there and they're not even sitting for us they're at the back. They're way back there. Is there something psychological to like, hey, we're going to make sure that,

like, yeah, they feel good enough for first class, but they still have to push farther. There's still more that could go. Silver, medallion, whatever.

Maybe there's a tier that literally no one is in so that there's always somebody like, well, I got to spend more on my credit card for this. And then dangle the carrot. You're always searching. Yeah. Some like made up thing thing yeah right that's kind of smart

okay so give me a uh give give me a rundown of like misconceptions and like things you don't know about first class and i know it's a short flight so maybe yeah it was denver to salt lake city so not as great as it could have been. Misconception. Do you know they offer champagne? No. When? Like before we took off. Immediately. Yeah.

Champagne? They're like, I think drinks for free. Can we get you a drink, soda, champagne? And I was like, that's crazy. Is that normal? It's United. Maybe that's how they do it. But I think everybody else got champagne.

I was like, I don't need champagne at 10, 30 a.m. Isaac would love it. Oh, yeah. He's like, yeah.

Isaac had a great weekend. Did you want your champagne? No? Okay. Yeah. Two champagnes right here for me. Isaac got a great weekend because he, in Denver,

we did two shows in Denver, didn't have to do anything both nights it was venue cell so isaac just showed up and just hanging didn't do a darn thing so he was just responsible for getting the merch there and then just hanging out yeah yeah not a whole lot so i was like why is he even there yeah he was just chilling drinking champagne it was uh it was a good weekend for isaac yeah he's like he's like ah i've been so rested i you know well since you're so rested how about you also get to rest in first class first class would be nice uh what about like

leg room seating things like that a little more leg room i will say if you were to be in row four which is the very back of first class on the app when you select your seat it says just fy limited reclinability so that's kind of a bummer. You could have – Against a wall or something? Yeah. 25% of the first-class seats are a downgrade. Okay. Yeah, you're right.

You can't recline at all. But the legroom is nice. How much reclinability is there? I didn't notice anything crazy. It was normal. These were normal seats. It's a small airplane. This wasn't like a jet blue flight across the Atlantic.

So no pods. It wasn't like a you know jet blue flight across the atlantic so yeah no pods it wasn't horizontal ever uh a little bigger seats though which are just obviously more comfortable i think it's like a two lanes of armrest so you both have room you have your own yeah like original not original but separate armrests yeah there was a sharing. There was kind of a tray between us where I could set AirPods, belongings, different articles. But then underneath that, I kind of hidden cup holder.

So a little more room for your things. Yeah. This is such a minimal thing. No, no. This is what I... I bet most people listening have never flown for first class. Time and flu spirit

and paid $18 for Wi-Fi. Yeah, I'm trying to think what else. I mean, there's really not that much to it. It's, yeah, free champagne. You get off the flight quicker. What about food? No, quick flight, no food. No even snacks?

I think the same snacks that everybody else got. You know, pretzels. That's kind of disappointing. Cool. Yeah. But I think if you're that everybody else got. You know, pretzels. That's kind of disappointing. Cool. Yeah. But I think if you're going to do first class, do it on a long flight. Do it on a big plane.

Yeah, but then those got to be so expensive, right? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's true. How long was this flight? I think we were only in the air for an hour. Okay. They could have served you some food.

Like gate to gate, like an hour 45. That's another thing. I was thinking about this. You know, there's a lot of things that are probably a little inefficient with airports. I'd really like to see them cut down the time it takes to like, to leave the gate and actually take off.

I mean, that's like 20 minutes each time. It kills me. I agree. Solution. Every gate has their own runway. Oh. How awesome would that be 65 runways you just like board the plane the plane just does a 180 and just takes off i love the idea of just yeah

pilots going wild driving around like just whipping it around and there's boom yeah there's no like yeah there's no traffic like there's no left turns right turns it's just like stay in your lane now when the planes come in it's always towards airport, so they need to make sure they have enough room to break. They always fly in towards the airport. Sounds like a recipe for somebody running into each other in the air. Everyone just parallel, just fly up in the air

whenever they want, and then just turn and go the direction you need to go. Just figure out your altitude. That part would get tricky. My cousin's husband is a pilot. He used to be a pilot for Air Force Two, fun fact. Who, that part would get tricky. My cousin's husband is a pilot. Used to be a pilot for Air Force Two, fun fact. Who flies on that? Vice President.

Vice President, yeah. So he knew Biden and Pence, I think, back in the day. But he flies for Southwest now, and I said, what's the worst airport? And he said, O'Hare is the worst because they take you so far out of the way. In Chicago, O'Hare. So far out of the way in Chicago, O'Hare, uh, so far out of the way to like fly out. Like you, sometimes you have to drive like literally a mile or two total around the runway

to like get to the right spot. Interesting. Yeah. And they just know like, Oh, everybody hates O'Hare. Yeah. He's like, he's like, I would need to go from here to like right here to get, you know, to leave. But they circumvent you so far around.

Um, last thing I'll say about this flight is, uh, I but they circumvent you so far around. Last thing I'll say about this flight is, I think I put this on my Instagram story, but I was like, good news, we got first class. Bad news, it was a Boeing 737 MAX, and we all knew it. And Boeing had an issue this weekend on a flight to Denver. So we were not that far away from like,

I don't know if you saw, but like an engine exploded on another Boeing flight. Like Alaskan Airlines or whatever it was. Was it? I thought it was maybe Southwest, but I know it was for sure a Boeing. It was like a couple weeks ago? No, it was this weekend. Oh, no. Another engine exploded. They do an emergency landing. Oh, no, Alaskan Airlines or whatever it was? Was it? I thought it was maybe Southwest, but I know it's for sure a Boeing. It was like a couple weeks ago? No, it was this weekend.

Oh, no, I didn't see that. Another engine exploded. They do emergency landing. Oh, fun. Yeah. I think all of Southwest is Boeing 737. Yeah, that's what I assumed. I think it was Southwest.

So Boeing is in hot water. So we're already on a Boeing 737 flight. A lot of turbulence getting up in the air, and then a lot of turbulence as we descend back down. And at one point over the intercom, they said something like, all right, flight attendants, take your seats. In two minutes, we'll be on the ground. And Lucas made the joke.

He said, on purpose? Yeah, like on the ground is too vague. Lucas was like, say landed. Say landed. Don't say on the ground. We will be on the airport. On the runway is too vague. Lucas is like, say landed. Yeah. Say landed. Don't say on the ground. To the airport. Yeah. On the runway in two minutes.

Two minutes, we will make contact with the earth. You will be, it'll all be over in two minutes. Okay. You've probably flown, let's say 200 times in the last year. I don't know if that's true. However many flights. Do you think, no, probably more than that. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

I still don't feel ever equipped. If I ever got in a crash on an airplane, I've never truly listened to those safety. Oh, about what to do. Would you feel good about it? I know you're supposed to put your mask on before anyone else. I don't think I would.

It's not very I'm third of you. I don't think I would know how to put my mask on very well. COVID, you know, did a number on me. I'm not a sheep. You're a patriot, so. I don't know how to put on any kind of mask. No, and then like the flotation stuff. I think it's the seats.

You always hear that, but like, I don't know how to get the seat off. Do you? Let me tell you one thing, brother. If you're in a situation where you need a flotation device, you're already dead. You're done. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

You're not using that flotation. Tell it to Sully. Okay. That's true. That was a unique one. Here's what I think about is just, we're not going to have to worry about any of this stuff. Airline travel in the United States is so, so safe.

Right. It's unbelievably safe. So next time you're experiencing turbulence, it's going to be okay. The woman next to me yesterday, because I had turbulence on both my flights, and I couldn't tell, because I don't want to stare at her. She's. The woman next to me yesterday, because I had turbulence on both my flights, and I couldn't tell because I don't want to stare at her. She's literally sitting right next to me.

But I'm like, I'm pretty sure this woman's a little bit scared right now. Yeah. And I'm always like, have you never flown on an airplane? Do you know the data, ma'am? Yeah. I've never been scared on an airplane. Even the times where you feel like you're on a roller coaster every once in a while. Like, boom.

It's like, I'll be fine. It makes it interesting, you know? It's like. Makes it a little bit more exciting. Yeah. I just tried to look it up. I was like, oh my gosh. It says there were 300 aviation deaths in the past few years.

But then I looked, they were all on board fatalities. This is like people who died from like natural causes while in the air. Natural causes, huh? Hey, put your mask on too quick. Okay, what about like, yeah, so I wrote down that I do silently judge Southwest boarding order. Do you do this ever?

Like someone who's like C40? It's like, dude, get your life together. Well, the whole gambit. Oh, okay. Because the other day, I literally was like refreshing and trying to check in right at the right time. It would be like, oh, it's too early. It's too early.

And then it's like all of a sudden, check in, boom. And I got like A45. Yeah. And like I was like A43, the guy a couple in front of me. I was like, that guy? Like that guy does not seem response. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, surely that guy wasn't doing the same thing as me. That guy seems so happy, go lucky, whatever. But I've, I've been on, I've, I've

literally forgot to check in until I get to the airport before I've been to every extreme of it. There's a lot of side door, backdoor action on Southwest flights. And by that, like people who are A-list. Right. They don't, they can check in whenever they want. So. Oh yeah. Like if you're. And you're going to get A no matter what.

Right. A-list preferred or whatever. Yeah. So that's what stinks is you're, you're fighting against the man. You're fighting against big, big airline. And I know that, but I also like, that's why I'm like the first people right around me are like that, that person was as responsible as me to get here. And then like, you see the person boarding at the very end. It's like, that person was as responsible as me to get here. And then like,

you see the person boarding at the very end. It's like, I bet they've never been on a Southwest flight. You know, I'm just judging those things. Yeah. They didn't know. They didn't know they had to check in.

And then all of a sudden they're in trouble. You know, you have the people who like really like it's their life mission to confirm with you. Are you B48 or B49? Yeah. We're all going to the same place. It doesn't.

Yeah. Don't bother me with that. Yeah. We did have Jean shorts, little thing. Like shorts little thing like yeah what number are you are which which one are you okay because i'd be 41 are you b40 or b39 or b42 where how what are what is the discrepancy that you get frustrated with though because there was a guy who out loud seven or more out loud said he was b50 and he was definitely in b41 uh walking space dude i almost said something to him i was like because i was i think or maybe it was a41 doesn't matter because if you're in the b40s b50s that's very borderline and it was a's it was not b so okay you're fine then you're fine if i'm b45 and see someone skipping ahead more than like seven or

eight yeah like that you could be taking the last window seat for me i I know. Yeah. High stakes. I bet there is like some, something out there where you can be like, as long as you get this or higher, you will be guaranteed either a window or an aisle or, you know, this you're guaranteed a window seat with this kind of thing. But I booked a lot of, let's keep talking about airplanes,

booked a lot of flights this past week, got our Portugal trip, Taylor Swift trip planned. Okay. Tell me about it. So figuring out all the details. A lot to figure out, but I've traveled a lot in my life. I can do this.

Really, the one thing to talk about is you've told me before about Ryanair. I've never experienced it, never been to Europe. It was my first time booking a flight, and they nickel and dime you like nothing I've ever seen. And people have already told me that. I knew that. Remind me, because I haven't done it in 10 years, probably. So when I go to pick my seat,

and it's not like I chose a basic economy, and I could have chosen normal economy and chosen my seat. The only option was this airline ticket. It's like, do you want to pick your seat? I'm like, yeah, of course. So like, all right, to pick your seat, it's $1. Really? Without even seeing the options for seats. Yeah. So it was, yeah, that was shocking. It's just like a $1 charge. Why even charge $1 to pick your seat? And then the other thing that really stood

out to me is it said, would you like to have flight details texted to you? I was like, you know what? Sure. You know, email and text. It said, great. It'll be $3.92 to have flight details texted to you. When they say message and data rates apply, like they actually mean it like, oh, yeah. So those are information or you think only if they like push it out to you? Like if I looked up Ryan air flight, blah, blah, blah, would I be able to see it?

Or it's like, yeah, you can see it under buy to pay wall. Log in real quick. Surely they still email it to you and you can still see the info, but with the text specifically, I don't think I've ever been charged to have someone text me information that already paid for.

That was interesting. So you're flying just between cities and portugal on ryanair yeah i forget what that one is so we're going to the uh the island where scott did his submission porto uh madeira oh madeira yeah he pronounces it portuguese of course yeah. It looks like Madeira. Madeira is what it looks like. So I think to go from Madeira to Lisboa. Lisboa. You got to guess the way. Lish. Lisboa.

Lisboa. Madeira. That is like a $90 Ryanair flight. Okay. And so, yeah, it was a crazy mess and a maze just trying to figure out how do we get from the middle of the United States to Portugal the cheapest, easiest way possible. Because I found there was like direct flights from JFK, but you can't get from here to JFK very easily.

So it's going to be a mess. I got us on about 19 different airlines. Really? And, you know, but I got it all written down. Cool. I like that kind of stuff. I think that's a fun challenge. Yeah, it's like, it didn't take me forever.

Yeah. Just a little bit of work, just to, and it feels good to know, like, hey, I did my research and we're getting a good deal here. The one bummer, and I double checked with Rachel, I was like, there are not many good flight options at all coming back to the United States when we're done with the trip. So none of the options are great. But what we ended up with was the night after the concert. I mean, we're at the Taylor Swift concert, Friday, May 24th, I think.

Okay. Something like that. And the next morning at 5 a.m., we fly back to the United States. All-nighter, baby. So, yeah, we might just stay all-nighter and sleep on the plane or something. Also, shout out Olga P. It was just her birthday. So first shout out.

Happy P-Day. Happy P-Day, Olga. And also, she is going to be at one of those shows. That's crazy. Somebody, yeah, let me know that. So I don't know which one it is, but Olga, we're going to the Friday night one. It'd be so fun to see you there.

Lish boa. Obrigado. Faru. Scott's going to love that. No one else is going to care about any of that. It's so funny, too. I'm trying to book all the stuff, and I'm texting Scott like, hey, can I get some intel about Madeira? He's like, yeah, there's a nice

elderly woman, you know, six streets over that I went and talked to. The roads are pretty good for biking. There's some cobblestone in some areas. They'll give you some trouble. It would be interesting to like, yeah, go ahead. Sorry.

It basically, he had no helpful information. I was going to say, he didn't like vacation there ever. Yeah, that was like, or I shouldn't say he didn't have helpful information, but when I would come to him like, hey, what do you think about this? I mean, this is the number one tourist destination in Madeira. I'm like, what do you think about this i mean this is the number one tourist destination in madeira i'm like what do you think about this he's like i heard good things wasn't able to do it and i was like all right what about this this looks like this

amazing like botanical i've never seen anything like this it says it's on madeira have you seen things wow that does look cool no i've never heard of that i asked him one more thing what about this hike you know what this walking distance you know to be honest dude i didn't do a whole lot when i was there but this this stuff looks awesome. So he is still so fired up. You know, Scott, he's still so excited for me, but he hasn't done anything we're going to do. We're going to very different times. I'm a day in Madeira, Cristiano

Ronaldo. You know, they named the whole airport after him there. He's from there. I know he's from there. That's crazy. Is he from Madeira? From Madeira. I didn't know he was from Madeira. He is from Madeira. What the heck? Oh, really? It's kind of crazy. I didn't know he was from Madeira. He is from Madeira. What the heck? Really? It's kind of crazy.

I mean, it'd be like if Tom Brady was from Kauai. It's like, really? Out of the whole United States? You're from the lowest island? Cool. That's kind of fun. Maybe that's why he just believes in himself. He swam from Madeira.

He was a big fish in a small pond, you know? Yeah, pretty cool. So Cristiano Ronaldo Airport. International airport. That's pretty cool to be like, still very much in your prime and already have an airport named after you. Yeah.

They already retired Kalen Clark's number. When have they ever done that? A week after you're done. They've already retired it. Yeah, I've never seen that. Yeah. Like six days after the season's over. Go ahead, hang in the rafters.

Wow. Good for her. I mean, why not? It's one of those, I'm never seen that. Yeah. Like six days after the season's over. Go ahead, hang in the rafters. Wow. Good for her. I mean, why not? I'm a firm believer these days of like, hey, if we need to pay for that thing, why wait a week? Let's just pay it now, you know? If we're going to retire our number,

let's retire our number. There's no like, maybe, are we sure she's- What if things change? Are we sure she's good enough to be retired? All-time leader in points and assist and like 25 other different things. Well, what if someone breaks all 25? I mean, Iowa is known for their women's basketball. Now let's do it.

Yeah. Well, I'll take it over real quick. Make sure you guys listen to the Wednesday episode. We got a very special guest. DJ Mike L from the tour is in Kansas City. It's going to be joining us. I'm really excited. It's going to be awesome. Tymon permed his hair for Mike Hill. Yes.

I'm bummed that Rachel's not going to get to meet him because for weeks now, I've been telling Mike Hill that Rachel is black and just giving her a hard time. Like, why do you assume just because I married her and she's from Iowa and she played college volleyball, why do you assume she's white?

So I'm going to take down all the pictures of us in the house just to make him just continue to assume that Rachel is black. That'd be amazing. What's 2FA security on Kraken? Let's say I'm captaining my soccer team and we're up by a goal against, I don't know, the Burlington Bulldogs. Do we relax?

What does possible sound like for your eclipse? Dude, let me just say this real quick. 89% totality. You need a that 11 does quite a bit i could not believe it dude because i experienced 2017 you remember 2017 time i experienced the year didn't experience eclipse okay yeah you were in dallas i was in dallas i did it opposite now dallas gets totality i'm here dude i mean it was wild. Like, like birds or, you know, frog started ribbiting. It was ribbiting. Frogs rained down all 10 plagues from accidents.

I had to paint lamb's blood on my door. It was crazy. You should have been here in 2017. Dude. Yeah. We had a funeral for a bird. Good thing we ended up bow. Yeah.

My first board. So I, uh, yeah, no, I mean, it it was it was truly like nighttime it was cool yeah because we were in totality right yeah yeah and so i birds came down frogs frogs everything was turning the blood yeah the like the automatic flood lights like turned on every anyway it was cool um and so i was like okay we're eight nine percent that's I mean it's not gonna get as crazy but like that's a B plus the kids are gonna love it that's a picture I was like 89% of that that's gonna be sick that's awesome

and so I went out I mean like hustled out to buy from Hy-Vee four freaking of those sunglasses for $1.50 each Bo promptly dropped one through the slats in our deck, adequate deck.

Uh, so then we're like, well, I'm just not going to point out to Rosie. I'm not pointed out to her. Don't look up there. Um, and oh man,

it was still, it was so bright. I could have read a book outside. It was, it was hazy, but yeah, it wasn't eclipse school. Cause I'm here.

I saw like the California is only get 32%. We're getting 89, 89. Okay. This is pretty cool. 32%. It's like the californians only get 32 we're getting 89 89 okay this is pretty cool 32 it's like yeah you could have been mistaken for a cloudy day 89 could have been mistaken oh yeah i didn't i barely noticed any difference in brightness outside yeah i thought it was like noticeably hazy outside i thought it was weird i might have been yeah it felt like if your phone goes you know how sometimes like your phone automatically detects the brightness act like weirdly.

And it's like, Oh, it's actually, sometimes it messes up. Yeah. That's kind of what it felt like to me. Like I can still see my phone up a little bit, but yeah.

Yeah. Like it was like, I can definitely like, I was like, how do you look at the, look at the, the playhouse in the backyard. Like,

look how it looks darker. And she's like, Oh yeah. And I was like, I was like, you don't believe it. Like you're not seeing this at all. It was cool to look at the sun with the glasses. That part was cool, but it was like, oh, yeah. And I was like, you don't believe it. Like, you're not seeing this at all. It was cool to look at the sun with the glasses.

Yeah, that part was cool. But it was like, how is it covered that much? And it's... Dude, there's a Devo in there somewhere, you know? The light can still get through. That's right, baby. That's right. It was 1.45 p.m., which the peak of the the eclipse here was 154, I think.

Right. And I realized, hey, you know, I might want to or no before I'd say about 140 p.m. I you know, the roof of my car has got like a glass roof, but very like UV rays. It's pretty dark. It's pretty tinted. And you're like, that's good enough. And so I was like, if I put on polarized glasses and then look through the roof. Yeah, that seems like pretty good protection. Yeah. Iled it. Google is very concrete. It said, absolutely do

not look at the eclipse through the roof of your car. So I was like, no problem. I'll go to Walmart, get to Walmart about 1.48. We're at six minutes away from the eclipse happening. I was like, you guys got any eclipse glasses? They laughed at my face. Like, no, we don't have any eclipse glasses right now, dude. Oh, dude, you should have gone to Hy-Vee, mane man hyvee had them i i believed in walmart i would have absolutely believed in walmart uh yeah they laughed in my face and so i just sat in the walmart parking lot not being able to look up at the sky and just kind of looking at the haze it's like well this is kind of different i'd look i'd put my hand out look at the shadow and like that looks pretty much how it always does is there anything cool i could look at right

now dude i have no i absolutely looked at the straight at the sun uh in 2017 i was like i'm curious let's be real it hurt pretty bad like i was there's only like two seconds i was like i was looking into my glasses like what the heck that's so dumb it was so dumb because i mean it's just a sun like i look at the sun sometimes it's 93 million miles away what's gonna do to me down here bring it and just ironically like two years later i had lasik so yeah good eclipse it's fun that happened by my treehouse was in the path of totality oh that worked out great yeah So that was cool. People booked it and yeah, there was some fun pictures. So yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it was

get the treehouse. Hey, book the treehouse even not during eclipse. Still pretty. Go check it out. Oh, yeah. What do you think is the best season out of like is there it's probably a tie for the best season to go to the treehouse. That's the thing. Spring, summer, summertime, go kay the treehouse. That's the thing. Probably either spring, summer. Summertime.

Fall, winter. Go kayaking in the local creek in the river. The local creek. How fun is that? Just a springtime. Small business creeks. Shop local creeks. Artisanal creeks.

Springtime. Oh, the flowers are blooming. The dogs are out. Yep. I mean, the world is coming alive. Long-sleeve tea in the morning on your walk to the local creek. Fall. Who doesn't want to be surrounded by bright orange, red, yellow leaves in a treehouse?

Yep. Winter. Nice little bonfire. Oh, yeah. We got a little bonfire out there. Chairs, if you like to sit by your fire. Winter, nice little just quiet coast cozy. I mean, imagine how quiet and serene it would be out in the winter. Serene

out your butt. That's what we say on the listing. You walk in and it's like, yeah, there's a pig that just has serene coming out of him. That's what you get. It's Arkansas. Woo pig. That's right. Dude, Calipari? You know, I was with

Shea Mooney. He's arkansas guy the night that news broke he was fired up out of his mind he's like did we just get john calipari this is awesome how in the world did it happen you know they also don't have anyone on the roster do you see that they have one they have one basketball player on their active roster right now what yeah it was pretty funny he was like yeah i'm excited i met the team we don't have a team but i'm excited to see the guys we get wow so i don't know why that is i don't know enough about college basketball but they all transferred or they they don't have anyone on the roster right now well because their coach went to usc so maybe all the guys left oh maybe but dude yeah it's just crazy to go from

basically like right down the road you know like, like the same conference. Anyway, all that John Calipari timing, really big college basketball coach. Okay. And went to like, from like a very, like one of the highest prestigious programs in Kentucky to like a good program in Arkansas. Anyway,

just wild. He's Italian. He's Italian. Oh, that makes sense. That's what you need to know. And then anyway, it doesn't matter.

Look what I'm wearing. Hey, dude, the Cityscape from Cozy Earth. Cityscape hoodie. Jake's like, I don't know if that's what it's called. They got me some pants, the pants you brought over for me last week. Wore them around the airport. A lot of compliments. Really?

And compliments from people who already knew me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But still, I like those sweatpants. Swaggy, dude. Swaggy. And I know they're swaggy because I normally wouldn't buy this style of sweatpants for myself. So swaggy and i know they're swaggy because i normally wouldn't buy this style of sweatpants for myself so that's how i know they're probably fashionable right because i'm like oh i wouldn't have thought to get these but other people say

they like them and yeah these must these are really comfy yeah dude just it's awesome start going start going both at the same time i haven't yet i look forward to it throw them on throw them on he would have a pair. He could fit. He's been, he did 75 hard. Let's see. Let's, let's see on the podcast. Uh, if you guys don't know about cozy earth, they make amazing premium quality bed sheets as well as clothing. Um, towels. My dad bought some cozy earth last week. It was like 11 o'clock at night and he texts me, Hey, just bought some cozy earth wait maybe i shouldn't say whatever it's spoiler but spots because you're for your mom i maybe i should say

maybe it was just a birthday gift because i'm thinking she doesn't have a birthday coming up my mom skips her ads so she won't hear this part dang it and it feels wrong to cut out the part that has the ad in it especially when it's like somebody's really excited about buying it's like a great testimonial ah uh let's just elongate this ad so that she's gonna like skip ahead a little bit like what are they talking about i need to know what's going on here let's just say a few more times in post we'll go back and say like hey just have why if there's any we need need to have some disclaimer that only she would want to fast forward through. This next part is like pretty graphic about my marriage.

Is that? Hey, if you, yeah. What would it be for specifically my mom? Hey, this isn't really going to talk about cheerleading at all. Or maybe we just talk about college basketball a little bit more. Yeah, we go back in the Arkansas basketball thing. Hey, if you grew up in Raytown, you're not going to like this next part.

And then there's probably a handful of other Raytown people, but they don't need to hear that part. But if you pique her interest too much... Well, I did grow up in Raytown. I want to know what he's talking about. Let's be honest, if you're from Raytown, you can't afford Cozy Earth anyway. They don't need to listen. Hey, maybe you're from Raytown, you can't afford Cozy Earth anyway. They don't need to listen. Hey, maybe you're budgeting, you know? Oh, my.

Well, sorry to my dad for maybe ruining a pretty good birthday gift for my mom. I can just hear him now. What? He said what? Let's also keep in mind, my dad may not know how to use a promo code and how to buy things online fully. Well, how do you? So I would do it by putting GRKC in the checkout screen where it says promo code.

How he does it, I don't know. I think he emails them, and the subject line just says GRKC. He's like, that should do it. Uh-huh. But no, they are great. They give 35% off. So I don't care where you're from.

Now you can afford it again. And it is a great discount and it's insane. All of their products, all of them, socks, sweatshirts, bedsheets, 10 year warranty. Yep. Take advantage of that. 10 year warranty is incredible. Yeah. I guess they just assume people will forget and won't.

Hey, I challenge you. Don't forget nine years from now. Don't you forget? Hey, this pillowcase isn't working out. I'd like a refund dude like i will not sleep if i'm home i will not not sleep on my cozy earth pillowcase like i'm not not even a nap i don't even want like i'm not throw pillowed on the couch for naps anymore once you experience cozy earth you don't go back it is nice um so cozy earth.com promo code grkc 35 off um use it if you regret it let us know because

you won't so we won't hear from you ever again yeah and that's why raytown's the worst let's get back to the podcast um here's something a text from steve triplett on wednesday april 3rd oh uh this is this is such a great text it's crazy to think that you are a family of six now, period. New line. You are the all-time man. Space. Three exclamation points. My ranking of all men.

Next line. Number one, Jesus. Number two, Elvis Presley. Number three, Bradley freaking Elvis. Yeah, he thinks it's very impressive that you've had four kids now. That is a lot. It is a lot. That is a lot to deal with. I mean, Catherine, just

all the praise goes to Catherine. Still, though, you're providing for a family of six. I'm trying to, brother. And most of it comes from doing what we're doing right now. That's the craziest part. I know. I know. Good ranchers, we want you back. We want you back again. We need it.

Not necessarily them. We need somebody. We need somebody to step up. Oh, man. Long-time sponsors really help fuel what we're doing here, really make this worth it. So let us know. Oh, man.

Yeah, along the lines of parenting, I guess I did read this book. I read this book into 24 hours, basically, uh, the intentional father by John Tyson. I'd already kind of like read bits and pieces of it before. If you're a dad of a son out there, I would highly encourage you to read it. Uh, but I'm not going to go into too much detail here. I would love to talk to anybody that wants to talk to about intentional father, John Tyson, but he has a quote in there that I think is actually from a different book. And I think, but I think you're going to love it. I think time and whatever, everyone's going to love it. It says, beware the soul sucking force of reasonableness. Beware the soul sucking force of reasonableness. In other words, like,

and this is something that I think we, in the context of what he's talking about is like fatherhood and doing these extreme things with your kids, making these amazing memories. And so often you're like, well, we could do, we could go on this trip or we could like be a little bit more fun or more crazy and do this. But that's probably a little bit out of our comfort zone. It's probably a little bit like, I don't know if we would, we get much sleep or I don't know if we can afford it. And it's like, stop trying to be too reasonable about it. Beware the soul sucking force of reasonableness. Like, and Rachel's really going to love that too. Really? Yeah. That's cool. I mean, he gave the, his, his like, you know, I guess like smaller, uh smaller example was like, if your son, because this whole book's about intentional fathers with their sons, raising them to be men and how to do that well. And I'm so pumped to make my own curriculum for Bo to do when he's 13 someday.

Yeah. Anyway. That's really cool. Yeah. You could do a whole podcast just on that. Dude, I know. That's really interesting. I'm getting all giddy about it, honestly. New podcast coming soon? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. You've do a whole podcast just on that. Dude, I know. That's very interesting. I'm getting all, I'm giddy about it, honestly.

But like. New podcast coming soon? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. You've been daydreaming? No, I have been. Nope. I've barely been dreaming, brother.

I've been getting by. I'd love to daydream someday, but I've read a book. So, but no, but like his example was like, if you, and I think about it as I read it, he's Australian. So I think about it in his voice. He's like, if your son says he hasn't eaten a cheesesteak before, I'm not going to do the whole thing, but you could take him to the mall. You could get a great cheesesteak at the mall.

You might even go to a movie in the arcade afterwards. That's a pretty fun day. That's a good dad. And then I hear his Australian. Or you could say, mate, we're driving to Philadelphia. We're finding the most expensive cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, $100 cheesesteaks. We put on our finest suits. We eat the best cheesesteak in the world and we drive back.

That's fun. And as I'm reading, he's like, and as you're reading this, you might think, well, I can't afford that. That's too much time away. And he just goes, once again, beware the soul-sucking force of reasonableness. Yeah. It's a cool way of saying it. Just like, don't be complacent. Don't settle, you know, however you want to word it, but like, go for the exceptional. Be excellent. And that was the whole, like at K-Country, the term we use all the time was moments of wonder. Like, hey, push farther because like,

it's going to, you know, you look back on your childhood and you're just like, I don't know. I don't think of all the micro things. I think of like the vivid memories we have, like all the dogs who died, stuff like that. Yeah. I can remember my dad just holding him and just saying, we lost another one. So Hey, pounds still open. If you want to get one today, bury him in our backyard or we'd go to Philadelphia. No, but just like, Hey, how do we, how do we push farther? Cause these kids, like they're, they might only remember one thing from camp, but they remember this one party or this one experience. Let's go, let's find this moment of wonder for them. Like, anyway, it's just a really, like, it's just stuck with me. Beware

the soul sucking force, soul sucking voice, whatever you want to say of reasonableness so i uh the the that business book that i read diary of ceo i remember it talking about i forget what the event was or whatever but maybe they were talking about a i don't know any period of time i think could be defined when people think back to it they are going to think about the peak and they're going to think about the end those are like the two most important parts. So childhood is tricky, I guess, in that realm. But I think people do tend to remember the peaks. You don't remember everything.

Right. You don't remember a lot. Yeah. But the peaks are really important. That was one of the exercises he encouraged to do was like, yeah, remember the mountains and valleys of your life and examine what those things, how those things shaped your ultimate values and everything. So anyway, yeah, it's exciting.

It's fun. I'm pumped about it. Yeah, I want to go just pick up a kid and do something cool for him. I would, yeah. Just pick him up. Pick him up? Pick him up.

Drive him to Philly. The book said. Hey, yeah. I don't know. You'll remember this. Civil to criminal justice system. This is cool that's fun what else you got i got some more things but it's about three hours before i'm

gonna go on stage to shoot uh the special this weekend it's all like city and i think you know i i went to the bat i went number two this morning but i think i think she's back for revenge i think we got a second dose in us a little nervous maybe yeah something i forgot I went number two this morning, but I think she's back for revenge. I think we got a second dose in us. A little nervous, maybe. Yeah. I forgot what I had for lunch that day, but I'm like, I got more in me. And then it starts to become kind of an emergency situation pretty quickly.

Where are you at this point? I am backstage of the venue. So I'm already at the venue in Salt Lake City. And we've got – it is very chaotic. I'll talk more about this on Wednesday because I want Mike Hill's input. Yeah, yeah. For the record, I haven't asked too much because we're waiting for Wednesday.

Yeah. I'm pumped to hear about them. But there's only one bathroom. It's full. There's a ton, a ton of people back there. So I'm trying to find another one, a little more private. Yeah.

And so I'm walking through the corridors, trying to find it, and I finally find a bathroom, and it's getting close to crunch time. And there was a sign on it that says, bathroom for special needs use only. Okay. I don't want to use this.

How permanent is this sign? The sign was permanent. Okay. And I did justify it because I was like, what I need to do is special. Like what this does to like a special need. They need to clarify. Yeah, special occasions only.

Yeah, it's the comedy special. I have specialty. This has to get out of me. And so, yeah, I just spent the whole time and they were just praying. I didn't like see some like wheels roll up from underneath the door. I was like, just get this over with.

Yeah. But yeah. Have you ever had that happen to you? I don't think so. Like you go in the handicap stall? Yeah, my brother-in-law had it happen to him one time. Really? This guy's like, hey, can you hurry up?

And he's like, what's this guy? Come on. And then he opens the door, and he's in a wheelchair. He's like, oh, sorry, man. My bad, dude. If I would have known. I'm a bigger guy, so I just take the bigger stall. You know, I used to always take the handicap stall.

So you get more room. It feels kind of nice. But then I started thinking, I bet everybody takes handicap stall. That's the most used stall. I know. It's the dirtiest one. Unless everyone thinks that, and then it's back and forth. It's not.

Ipso facto. Yeah. Chicken or the egg. Found out via the Facebook page that there's a ghostie going on the same cruise as me and my family. Did you see that? I saw that there was a possibility. going on the same cruise as me and my family. Did you see that? I saw that there was a possibility. It's confirmed. Ben Blomberg. Quite the name. Yeah, same exact

ship, same exact time. Blomberg, straight ahead! You gotta do that every time you see him. That's great. So I'll get to meet him, I assume. He'll get to meet my parents, my in-laws, Rachel, my sister, everybody. Wow. My uncle, my cousin, my dad's best friend from high school.

Everybody's going. That's wild. And a cruise ship is big enough where you're not going to see him all the time, probably. But you think at least once or twice. You're going to run into him. Yeah, or we can make a plan or something. Blomberg. Blomberg.

Is that you, you old rascal? Or like, yeah, what's Mighty Ducks withomberg? Blomberg. Is that you, you old rascal? Or like, yeah, what's Mighty Ducks with Goldberg? Blomberg! That's crazy. That's pretty fun. Same ship. What a small world. Same old boat. I think any ghostie that was planning on seeing Jake in

Maine or wherever that you're not going to, just go on the cruise. Yeah. Yeah. I won't be in Maine, but I'll be in Galveston. I was excited to go to Maine because that's like basically the town where we bought the limo. And I wanted to meet the guys, the twin brothers that sold us the limo and everything. Yeah, because you guys like spent some time like a week there, right? I had lobster with them.

So that was fun. So it's too bad. But yeah, get to go on the cruise and see. You're going to be so tan by the end of this. Ben Blomberg. Oh. Ben Blomberg. Oh, Ben Blomberg. Well, well, well. Brian Bomberg.

Brian Bomberg. I had a fun experience with the ghostie today. No, not today. This week. Yeah. Sunday morning, a ghostie came to my church from out of town. Oh, cool. Yeah.

Caleb is his name, and he was coming into town with his 10-year-old son for the eclipse. Luckily, he drove a little ways from Kansas City. He was... Yeah. He got goped in. He went to Illinois. Okay, gotcha. Southern Illinois.

Anyway, he was making a big trip out of it, and I just get a text from Sam, the children's pastor, like, hey, a podcast guest is here and wants to meet you. What should I say? A podcast guest? Like, Garrett Perkins? Yeah. First of all, I'm like, well, we've had like six podcast guests ever. So yeah.

TJ? And so I was like, I just said podcast guest. And he's like, yeah. Anyway, told the whole story. But dude, it was awesome. It was so much fun. I was there. I not by myself i had my kids obviously but i dropped them off catherine's still staying at home with henry and so i was there by myself so we like talked for the whole first service essentially and then like outside and then like went into the second service

together and like that's really fun yeah just like sat next to each other and worshiped the lord together and it was awesome that's really cool he was just just like sat next to each other and worshiped the Lord together, and it was awesome. That's really cool. He was just a super cool dude and connected with them on a lot of levels. And he's like a relatively new ghostie, which is kind of fun. Yeah, that's nice. And he found us through Gene Shorts,

which is also a little bit different. Yeah, it's a little special. We did it. Yeah, man. The funnel. It finally worked. Yeah, we get a few every month. That's it.

That's all it takes. Good ranchers come back. That's cool. I feel like i had a handful of really good interaction with ghosties too like every now and then you're just like man yeah i want more yeah you were awesome like as i was leaving him i was like like dude just text me and like we're friends now yeah let's hang out with that like yeah so i met um let's see if i could find it in my notes i wanted to make sure i so So I got, this is kind of fun. I'm in a tiny little coffee shop in downtown Denver.

And right as the barista is like saying, I think I know you. Then I get a tap on the shoulder. And then someone else is like, you make those videos. Simultaneous recognition. Never had that happen before. Whoa.

180 degrees. Who do I prioritize? Both of them. Come to find out the barista. She was like, yes, I, um, yes, ghost runners or something. I was like, ghost runners? Because this is, it's not like a normal coffee. It's like at the bottom of like a business building.

It's like a, it's not what you're imagining, probably, for a coffee shop. A scooter's coffee. Yeah, but it was really cool, and her and the other barista were so awesome, and she said her, uh, she said, yeah, my brother told me about it. So Cameron, if your sister works somewhere at Little Owl, uh, my brother told me about it. So Cameron, if your sister works somewhere at little owl, uh,

is the name of the coffee shop in Denver. Shout out Cameron for telling your sister. They were like the coolest two people. And then, uh, there was a crew of people who also came to the Denver show that night. And we're so fun. Heather Herman,

you know that name? H E R M A N. So probably her man, her man, her man, her man, her man. Don't mess Man. Her Man. Her Man. Her Man. Her Man. Don't mess with Her Man.

Yes. Her and her sister and their friends, there's four of them. They made me banana bread and the banana bed. It was really good. Hit different. It was great. So yeah, a lot of good ghosts here. Elizabeth Virgil has something for you out on the counter.

Oh, cool. She also made homemade oatmeal cream pods. Those went down pretty easy. Those are nice. And she also got me measuring spoons because I'm big triplet now. That's right. Elizabeth, Rachel was very excited.

She saw the measure. Oh, yes! Awesome. So ghosties are awesome. I met so many cool ones this weekend. Yeah, I had a similar... I was on fire Wednesday night with being recognized. Where are you? And by on fire, I mean, I got recognized twice in like an hour.

That's great. Where were you? Uh, one of them was in my driveway, which is a little bit jarring. Is this the guy with the cool van? No, but I think I know who you're talking about now. Yeah. When you say cool van, is it like gray and like tall? Yeah. Yeah. He's a firefighter. What's a cool fan for? I think he's got a big family. I think so. He wanted me to like make him a new handle for his axe one time. I told him I don't know how to do that. I don't want to upset anyone who has axes on hand. Also, like how bad would you feel if your handle broke in the line of duty?

Oh, yeah. You know, that's a big responsibility. That's cool that you know who I'm talking about. Yeah. Nice guy. But it wasn't that guy. It might've been the other guy that recognized you though. Cause he's just walking by with his wife on the sidewalk across the street. And I'm like, it was not my, I mean, I was, I was being a kind dad. I wasn't like,

whatever, but I was gonna say, it's not my finest moment only because of how physically I was just like sticking my butt out the door while I'm like reaching to like buckle bow in. And I get out and I'm, you know, a little sweaty or something. He just goes, jean shorts comedy. And I'm like, yeah, man. Yeah. Like right now? So, yeah. That's amazing.

Yeah. In the driveway. I don't know how I feel about people knowing where I live though. Like it feels a little bit violating it doesn't feel like we have the fame for that to happen though either it's one thing if you're like trey kinney's levels like yeah people might in the neighborhood know who i am well any you know films outside half the time but it doesn't feel like yeah we've outkicked our coverage if people in our neighborhood know who we are we yeah exactly i agree so and then another time was at

costco like that same night I went to Costco, Wednesday night, Costco by yourself, a different world. It was so fun. I was like, I love this place all of a sudden. I got an easy parking spot. There was nobody there. But this woman overreacted to me for sure. And it, I did not like it very much. She's like, excuse me, are you one half of Jean Schwartz comedy? Are you equal one, one, one over two? I'd say more like, I don't know, five eighths or like excuse me are you one half of gene short's comedy are you equal one one i'm like one over two i don't i'd say more like i don't know five eighths or so personally how are you measuring it and uh and i say oh yeah yes i am and she i mean just she she went from like a five out of ten volume to a ten out of ten just ten out of ten is too much oh my gosh

oh my gosh and i'm gosh. In the Costco? Yeah. And it was like when I was like checking out too. So it's like I'm stationary. And you know, right where you check out is like right by the restaurant area kind of. And so like I felt like people were looking at me and I was like, yeah, thank you. Thanks for watching. Yeah.

I didn't want it. It was just a little too uncomfortable. I was like, just... I don't mind. I truly don't mind when people say stuff to us, but it's like... It's really loud. Oh, my gosh. Okay.

So... That's pretty cool. Two in one night. Yeah. It was something. My latest daydream is not for me, but it's for the people around me. Okay.

So Isaac and I were having a conversation. I was just, I was thinking about Isaac and I was like, dude, you should try. I know you never got to like play football because of your concussions. I think we all know it might've been your best sport. It's too bad that you missed out on that. I was like, they have like professional flag football leagues. I have no doubt in my mind. You could make whatever team that, but you might be able to play for team USA.

I was really gassing them up. That's one big thing I'm on. I'm like, Isaac, you should try to get in really good shape and go play professional flag football. I'm just convinced. No one is more athletic than you. You could do it. Similarly, do you know about the Pro Volleyball Federation?

The PVA. PVF. Thank you. Well, if you're talking about the PVA. No, I do not know about. PVF. Thank you. Well, if you're talking about the PVA. No, I do not know about the PVF. So it's, I think it's a year old, but it is currently going on. So the Omaha Supernovas, maybe you've heard of them. Oh, I thought that was just something to do with the eclipse.

I thought that was seasonal. They're a team. I don't know how many teams there are. But yeah, there's like a pro volleyball league going on. Women's or men's? Women's. Okay. I think I know how many teams there are, but yeah, there's like a pro volleyball league going on. Women's or men's? Women's. Okay. And Kansas City is getting,

I think I know where you're going with this. Kansas City is getting an expansion team. Okay. And I learned this and I'm just all in. I learned about it via Nick Hagman. Shout out Casey Daly. Oh yeah. It's kind of,

we should be utilizing Nick more. So he runs this popular newsletter. They're just five days a week, emails out just like the happenings in the news and the current events of Kansas City. So no one knows more about Kansas City than Nick. It's kind of fun to talk to him. He knows everything that's going on. I was hanging out with him Easter.

And so he was telling me all this. I was like, this is amazing. He's like, yeah, I met the owner. I met the coach. And they're like, they're doing tryouts and everything. I was like, Rachel, you gotta do it for me. I never got to see you play competitive volleyball. Like you have to. Yeah. And, uh, she's like, I know I'm not going to try out. I have done enough competitive

volleyball in my life. I was like, but what if you were good enough though? Like, dude, she's definitely good enough. And I think she is too. And I think she knows it. And then she doesn't want to like make the team and then have to practice all the time. I was going to say, what would it look like? You know? So I, one thing I looked into, cause I imagine I was like, you know what? This might be one of those scenarios where there's just no revenue model. Like they can't really pay people. So maybe they don't get top talent. So Rachel would be great.

She'd easily make the team. I looked up the base salary. So the minimum salary you get paid to be a professional women's volleyball player at the PVF is $60,000 a year. No way. I was like, oh, that's great player at the pbf is sixty thousand dollars a year no way i was like oh that's great what the heck what the heck what the heck that's way more than i thought it was gonna be oh because i feel like majorly or minor league baseball players you hear about them making like a hundred dollars a week yeah yeah and so i thought because i knew not that it's the exact same thing but my friend who was the dallas cowboys cheerleader she got

paid like nothing because it's such a high value position. Girls would do it for free. So they don't need to pay you that much because there's 10,000 women who are in line ready to go after you. 60 grand is, I mean, I'm just doing the math here. How do they make all this money back?

I don't know. I don't know the revenue model. Yeah. But I am excited for it. Volleyball is a pretty good spectator. I think volleyball is going to be like, hopefully like see some popularity. So yeah, I don't know the revenue model. Yeah. But I am excited for it. Volleyball is a pretty good spectator. I think volleyball is going to be like, hopefully like see some popularity. So yeah, I don't know how it all works.

But when I saw that, I was like, Rachel, just consider it. We just like look into it. Yeah. That'd be fun. Because yeah, I imagine she, I mean, she obviously stays in shape still. Yeah.

She still is setting the ball from time to time. Oh, I think it'd be so fun. How fun. And I was married to a professional still. Yeah. She, she still is setting the ball from time to time. Right. Oh, I think it'd be so fun. How fun. And we, I was married to a professional athlete. Yeah. 12 year old Jake would have gone nuts if you told him this.

And it's not a man, it's a woman. Like, Oh, so yeah, I want her to do it. So bad. The ghosties would go to every game.

I would go to every game. I'd stop going on tour. Of course you would. Beth, game i would go to every game i'd stop going on tour of course you would beth road get season tickets like sarah ming would come uh so yeah i i've been really excited about that for other people yeah that's really cool uh we got some pictures taken from celia o'brien the other day that's nice little. A little family photo session and Hattie kept accidentally calling her Sylvia, which was pretty funny to me. That's kind of cute. And so then I kind of leaned, I was like,

Hattie, you know, be good for Sylvia. Come on, let's do this thing. Anyway, Celia's the best. She's coming to Gold Shores with us and really cool. But there's just this random thing that I got like so self-conscious about. And she's like, I didn't even notice, but like Henry comes out, you know,

getting ready to take a picture. She's like, Oh, let me go wash my hands before I take, that's like a big thing with newborns. I don't know if you know that, like wash your hands or dirty. Yeah. Cause the newborns are gross. Yeah. They just spit up all the time. But you're saying you're going to wash your hands. And so this is like, I don't know. She came at like nine o'clock, 10 o'clock in the morning. Shortly after we had had breakfast, I had cleaned up most of it.

We had quiche for breakfast. And so quiche is like, you know, eggs and whatever. Yeah. And so I had just like, like taken the last plate, washed it off on the,

washed off the eggs into the sink. Didn't put them down the disposal yet. She went to go wash her hands and there's just wet egg in the sink. And you were like, oh. I was so embarrassed. I was like, I was like, oh my, I told her like multiple times, like we are not. We're not a quiche leftover sink family. We're not

wet eggs in the sink kind of people. I promise. Like I understand like no judgment if you are, but like Sylvia, Sylvia, whatever your name is. In this house, we serve the Lord. We root for the Jayhawks and we don't leave wet eggs.

And we stuff our wet eggs down the disposal. Yeah. It was like, it was like, uh, just, just know like I'm, cause some people are just a little messier than others.

And I'm not trying to act like our house is, you know, perfect. It's definitely not. It's, it's very much a kid's lived in house, but like we, we put our eggs down the disposal, Celia. And she's like, I didn't notice. I swear. I didn't notice. It's very much a kid's lived-in house. But we put our eggs down the disposal, Celia.

And she's like, I didn't notice. I swear I didn't notice. Cel. I was like, there's no way you didn't notice those nasty remnants of eggs. You know, they're sliding all around. Oh, dude. Yeah. Gross.

Smelling gross. She's like, I don't even know why I need to wash my hands. Like, you guys are animals. This place is a dump. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, it was just a fun. I think we got some really cool pictures of Henry. That's fun. I'm glad you did that.

I wish, yeah. That's something I'll encourage ghosties in because I'm not very good at it. Our family's not great. It's just take pictures with your family. Like professional pictures more often. I think it's worth it. Especially like after your grandma dies,

you like look at all these pictures and it's like, that's a great picture. They had so many. Yeah. It's like, man, I want to make sure we document well. And obviously I take a thousand pictures on my phone.

Oh, I'm going to go full Michael Scott. Second phone. Dude, just for pictures of the kids. There's an integrated guy. Um, you know,

so it's like my fatherhood group that I'm in. He texted the group one time. He's like, Hey, uh, does any, has anybody else run into the problem of, like, I have the iCloud storage plan, but I maxed it out.

Like two terabytes? Yeah, I think so. And I'm like, what in the world? He's like, we have a lot of kids. We have a lot of pictures. I mean, 4K is, like, really high quality, so I want to give them the best. I was like, okay, wow.

about something i was like isaac you know he's like not paying attention like isaac he's like sorry i'm like i'm kind of rattled right now i think i've been texting my ex-girlfriend's mom about health insurance i said how did you how did you get in that situation. So Leslie Kaley, our friend's mom, does something with health insurance. You're always telling me to call her. Yeah, she's like a health insurance broker. So that's who Isaac got his health insurance through. His ex-girlfriend's mom

is also named Leslie. And just somehow he never put her last name on his phone, so she's just Leslie. That is such a yeah high school thing to do well he had a good reason i won't say but he had a good reason for it um anyway so i i think several days ago this started where he texted her like he says something like hey we all good on health insurance like a vague enough thing and apparently she texts back like

yeah we're all set. And so he's like, great. Oh, maybe she thought like he was trying to sell it or something. Yeah, so that's the most embarrassing part. Like my ex, my daughter's ex-boyfriend is trying to sell me health insurance in a really vague, non-salesy way. Hey, we all set? We all good? We all good with health insurance? She's like, yeah, we're good, man. Yeah, where would you go if you broke your leg right now? What would you do? So then he continues texting her like, yeah, we're good, man. Yeah, where would you go if you broke your leg right now? What would you do? So then he continues texting her like, well, what about this?

She's like, I don't know. Can you help me find this? And then eventually, I mean, they're 10 texts deep, and she's like, Isaac, I think you have the wrong number. He's like, oh my gosh, this is been Leslie Eddings the whole time. The whole time. He got pretty deep.

And so it was so funny in the moment, him just being like, dude, I'm just really rattled right now. I just realized I've been texting the wrong Leslie for several days now. Don't blame him. Like I would be completely rattled too. Holy cow.

Yeah, I don't blame him either. It's pretty funny. Yeah, we're all set on insurance. You're like, he's like, yeah. Like I goofed. Surely this is, yeah, I, like I, I goofed.

Surely this is, yeah, I'm wrong. I did this wrong. Holy cow. Can you imagine like, yeah, at least it was health insurance and not, I don't know,

something else worse. Yeah. I was messing with him. I was like, did she ask if you were sexually active? And you're like, is this still my, this could be all the trends still.

Thanks for our friends, mom. Wow. Um, that was fun. Yeah. Ask your old friend's mom. Wow. That was fun. Yeah, just a nice Isaac story from the road. I got a few more quick ones. Really into Tarzan right now.

Oh, yeah. I saw that in your story. Dude. I'm kind of always at a low interest in Tarzan. It's nice. Low interest isn't like... It's like I just always like... It's simmering there. Yeah, I'm always kind of into it at any given time.

I love Tarzan. Time I was about to jump on. Yeah, sorry. I was about to get so mad. sorry i think maybe the karaoke blind karaoke thing that we did with trash in the can kind of uh subconsciously spurted on and anyway we've never we haven't watched the movie yet but we've listened to the storyteller version on spotify that's like an hour long like reenactment you know 20 times now and like unironically by myself in the car, like, I'll be like, what do I want to listen to? And it's like, you know, recently played Tarzan soundtrack. I'm like, right back. Click. Yeah. I don't even care. Do you listen to like everything or just

like the singing Phil Collins ones? Um, cause like there's instrumentals in there. Usually I don't get into like, get far enough into into a drive like i'm not driving far enough for anything other than phil i'll listen to the n-sync trash in the camp every once in a while and stuff but um funny i that that movie came out when i was in third grade and my third grade teacher played that soundtrack for every time we ever did like independent work and so i like grew to hate that soundtrack because it was so much and now all of a sudden I am back and it is amazing. But my worship leader self came out with I Want to Know. Or what's this song?

Strangers Like Me. Great song. Because Hattie's getting into it. I want to know. And Bo's kind of getting into it too. And so it's like, yeah. I'm like, the verse is coming and then it's like, all right, here we go. Let, like the verses come in and then it's like, here. All right.

All right. Here we go. Let me hear you. See you on the chorus. Sing it out. And they're like, so we're all just, I want to know. Can you show me? And then like, you know, I know that Hattie doesn't know the words very well.

What genre of copyright free music would you like this week? Good question. We could just do... I don't know. We could just do, like, upbeat pop. Oh, coming to my world. Upbeat pop. Write me lyrics to an upbeat pop.

Upbeat pop. What should I... I'm trying to think of what the lyrics should be about. Should they be just... About upbeat pop. About pop uh it's gonna end up sounding like a forest frank song a sunny day i don't know birds give me three words birds just grapes oh that's that's good oh oh grapes grapes grapes that's fire that's good. Oh, grapes, grapes, grapes. That's fire. Birds, grapes, rug, eclipse, low. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever.

Just an upbeat pop song about good vibes. Cool. It'll fill in the blanks. All right. Let me test out a song real quick and make sure this is catchy and fun. What do you think? Very Owl City. Tommy likes Owl City.
