Starting point is 00:06:37 Make it happen. If you can't make it on Friday, but you can make it late Friday night and make it to Saturday and Sunday, I think it's still worth coming to. I'll say that saturday is the main day um anyway it's gonna be awesome check it out branson uh what do you think about this jake just a random random thought on white and random thoughts on white meat but not about white meat um somebody takes your picture we're

Starting point is 00:07:01 at the osceola cheese factory oh yeah great yeah. Great stop between Springfield and here. When was the last time you went? Not in a long time. Guess what they don't have anymore, first of all. Gas. They never had gas. Okay. They don't have free samples.

Starting point is 00:07:15 Oh. COVID, dude. You think? Yeah, they were like, it's because of COVID. I was like, oh, that makes sense. So you just guess kind of what the cheese tastes like? We didn't buy a single thing of cheese. I would have if they gave us free.

Starting point is 00:07:26 There's this. Have you heard of Osceola Cheese Factory, Tim? I think so. Anyway, back in the day, like they had all these different little sample. You know, you took your tooth pick, whatever. But they're outside of it. They have this big mouse. Bo won't take a picture with the mouse.

Starting point is 00:07:39 We were on our way back from dropping off Hattie. And these people with us were like, do you want us to take all three of your picture? We're like, yeah, sure. Me, Catherine bow. And this girl takes 18 pictures. And then she's like, check it. I want to make sure it's good. That's nice. If my personality, I will never, I will look at it for, to be nice, but I will never say like, actually, can you do it again? It would have to be a very important picture. I think for me to like, ask for it a second time. Yeah. I don't even know what the scenario would be.

Starting point is 00:08:08 But we only have a couple shots of this. It's like the sunset, right? We have to get it or something. Can you try one more time really quickly? Yeah. Check it. Make sure it's good. It's like as long as we're in it, that's all I care about. We're in it.

Starting point is 00:08:16 He took a few, gave us some options. It's a memory. Yeah. Which is kind of ironic because Hattie's counselor took a picture of the four of us on the barn steps to her cabin. And Catherine's hair was in Hattie's face. And so you can't really see Hattie's face very well. And that would have been one that if I would have checked it, I would have. But yeah, it's just my personality is like, does anybody ever actually check it and be like, actually, let me.

Starting point is 00:08:42 First of all, let me analyze this in front of you for like a good 10 seconds. And then let me also, you know, have you to redo this one more time, stranger and do it good. Yeah. And like maybe make the angle a little bit. Like, can you crouch down? I know you have arthritis in those knees, but like, yeah, those free sample. I mean, you don't have any free samples in your belly, so just take it. Something I like to do when fans are taking pictures with me is one try to get them the best picture possible like lighting wise like oh let's do here and if they're taking a selfie like take one and i'm like let's take a couple let's take a couple so they don't have to like oh yeah to alleviate any like potential like ah we didn't get a good one or like oh it's kind

Starting point is 00:09:19 of blurry you know i'm like let's take a few let's take a few let's make sure we get a good one so i'm sure that the the feeling when you're in their shoes is like, I don't want to be doing this too long. I don't want to inconvenience him. Like, this is kind of like, I need to do this really fast. Like, yeah, sorry. You know? And it's like, no, no, no.

Starting point is 00:09:36 Take your time. Dude. That just reminded me. There is a, I forget their names. Two really awesome women that I met, I think at the Thousand Oaks show, I came out to the lobby. This could have been Boise too. So you know who you are there. So they showed up.

Starting point is 00:09:50 One girl had the like a kind of mint colored, filthy rich shirt on. It's like, that's awesome to see in the wild. There's a good show, a decent line form to talk to me after that show. And a guy just comes up, not necessarily stumbles but just like so unaware of what's happening not only is there a line but i'm in the middle of talking to other ghosties and he comes up like kind of pushes his way through we gotta get a picture we gotta get a picture and kind of joking but also kind of wanting him to know what he's doing i was like yeah yeah yeah cut in front of him no worries no worries and then i shouldn't have said that because then he was like oh my gosh oh i feel like such a tool

Starting point is 00:10:30 it took it like really elevated like and then the other ghost is like no one's mad no one's mad i was like i was just joking i was just joking like we're all cool we're all cool and then the ghost he saw bad i felt bad i was like i in hindsight i would handle that differently i thought it would be more jokey jokey like oh haha I'm so sorry he's like wow wow I did not see that

Starting point is 00:10:49 idiot like the way he sang it was so angry at himself but it felt like I made him do that and like the Chris Farley show

Starting point is 00:10:56 thing where he's like so stupid my first wife was right what if I I never pay attention to stuff idiot idiot idiot yeah I was like it's cool i was just joking around it's fine yeah yeah real himself up real awkward real awkward

Starting point is 00:11:13 but it was kind of annoying i mean i was like i was in the middle of a conversation with a ghost he's like hey man we gotta get a picture i was like you wanted him to feel it you just didn't want to feel it that i should yeah i would have towed the line a little better i guess in hindsight but but you can't know how that guy's gonna yeah it's a comedy show i'm joking around oh yeah he like stumbles on stage while you're doing your thing like oh that's fine let's just let's just have you tell some jokes oh my god i always do this what if i how do i get up now i'm like like punch himself what is wrong with me idiot idiot idiot that is a funny

Starting point is 00:11:47 good times yeah just yeah it'd be tough to like want to do that if I were him like just like

Starting point is 00:11:54 I don't want to wait I don't even know this guy very well here's a picture what's up dude but just have you in the background that's good enough for me you know yeah

Starting point is 00:12:01 I here's a fun story I yelled at a guy this week what yeah no i actually did try to come up with a scenario in which i yelled at a guy let's let's define jake triplet yelling because it'll be justified there's my hint no no i'm not worried about it being justified i'm worried about let's define uh can you can you give us can you yell about that door right there?

Yeah, I think, I think you're right. I think you're on the right track because like time is on the right track.

Starting point is 00:13:57 It's not going to yell at somebody for his own sake, but he will justify it if it's to help somebody else. I think you're on the right track.

Starting point is 00:17:54 I'm working. And I'm thinking, it's 10, 15. I haven't eaten supper. I better get something. And then I start to see, oh, wow, there's a big storm coming. I need to go right now. There's like a massive storm. Like there's already like.

Starting point is 00:18:06 Oh, that was the night where all of a sudden it was like 80 mile an hour winds. Yes. Crazy. Yes. I'm glad you know this. Yeah. To help like validate the story. So it looks like, I mean, just a big red wall on the radar is coming.

Starting point is 00:18:16 This is going to be really bad. Like, and some of it's like even pink. I'm like, this is hail and tornado. I got to go right now. So I'm driving there. I'm in the longest canes line of all time. At one point, I'm just sitting there between the first and second window, and the storm gets here. It was like out of a movie where just like everyone's car started shaking.

Starting point is 00:18:34 Like little trees, but they're like, they're 90 degrees now. It's just like the storm is here. No rain yet, but just all of a sudden the wind is insane. Oh, I remember. All right. Now, like it feels like I really need to get home. Like I don't want to be in my car doing this. And so I finally get up the second window.

Starting point is 00:18:48 I'm trying to pay as quick as I can. All right, thank you. Thank you. Have a nice day. And then I pull around the drive-thru at Cane's, and all this patio furniture just blows over in front of me. And so I'm like, I got to get out of my car really quickly. I'm trying to hold this up.

Starting point is 00:19:03 I got mallet. I'm trying my best to grab onto things.

I can't get out. And so I pop out real quick.

Starting point is 00:19:28 I mean, it is getting scary. It's like the wind is howling. It's so loud and windy. And I'm like, there's one table still standing, and the umbrella is just barely hanging on. And so I'm like, I'm kind of trying to hang on to that because it's about to blow over into my car. And the other one's down there.

Starting point is 00:19:44 And so really quickly, I let it go. And I knock on the window of the Canes. And a guy comes out to help me. And so me and this Canes worker are trying to get this back up. And while we're doing that, the car behind me honks. Like honks. Beep, beep. I go, dude, help me.

Starting point is 00:20:59 like that big yeah uh whatever drop sailcloth thing i like took that down but as i was taking it out it was just like, it was insane. Yeah. Like how quickly it just was like. It just felt like I should not be outside in this. Like, I don't know if I'm going to get swept away, but it just feels like any branch could fall, anything, you know, just.

Starting point is 00:21:14 Oh man. General danger. Just. Yeah, the nerve that got a honk. I got home and I was like, Rachel, I yelled at a guy. You should have put, you should have put the chairs right behind your car.

Starting point is 00:21:22 Just kind of right in between us. How do you like it? Honk at, like point to the person right behind him. Hon Just cut it right in between us. How do you like it? Hawk at him! Point to the person right behind him. Hawk at this guy! Hawk at him! Give him a mallet. Give him a mallet. A California mallet. The old C-Mall. Oh, man. That's too bad.

Starting point is 00:21:36 See, I've yelled at a guy at Canes. In his truck. I just can't fathom hometown night Canes, yo. What a troll. He'd be like, watch this. I'm going to really make this guy mad. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:49 Beep, beep. Couldn't believe it. It was a crazy night. Oh, man. I'm glad that you got your canes, though. I know. In hindsight, my car has a little dash cam. Had I saved it that night, we could have like... I thought of it a couple days later.

Starting point is 00:22:02 I was like, I should have saved the dash cam footage. We could have seen it all. We could have seen the gesture it it gets erased after a certain time yeah i don't know a couple hours or so at a time unless you save it anyway i did that uh random another random thought for me uh second one of the day uh this was also come it came from uh being on this little retreat by myself at this lake house. I was taking a shower and there was a window in the shower and the window was like a, just a little tiny window with a screen on it. And the screen had a warning that said, warning, screen will not stop child from falling out of window. Keep child away from open window. And my thought,

Starting point is 00:22:43 random thought is just just how did they know how do they know that it won't stop a child happen once and they're like we gotta tell them did it happen once so they're they do a lawsuit like cover their butts did they use something that's similar to a baby and see if the window a lot of the screen or do they truly just be like all right bo let's see if if you get up there. Yeah, maybe there's a high jump pit below the window. Yeah, like one of those old firemen trampolines down there. It just bounces them back up.

Starting point is 00:23:17 So that way they can catch them and get a heavier screen. Do they use those? I've seen those in the movies. Like Mr. Deeds and he's saving the cats and whatnot. The cats are bouncing off. I hope so. I mean, surely they're not still using them. Surely there's something more,

Starting point is 00:23:29 like surely there's like a air mattress that you can blow up really quick. It's a little bit deflated or something that's safer than a trampoline. Yeah, it's not a springy. Yeah. It would be fun to see footage of that actually working and happening. Yeah, I do love the idea of,

Starting point is 00:23:42 I mean, if I'm going to have to jump, I would love to jump onto a trampoline i'm gonna bounce around for a few minutes yeah then you know get back to safety but just feels like you go a little bit one way or the other angle wise and you're you're flying off that thing bouncing on the pavement next you're into a tree yeah so that's funny yeah this will not protect a child yeah trust us trust us we like did they use dumbbells did they use sack of potatoes yeah a couple sacks of flowers taped together i don't know couple sacks of

Starting point is 00:24:12 flour taped together of course just like shove it against the window like nope two bags not good enough yeah yeah just tested all sorts of stuff all right the screen will not protect your child from jump from danger out of it it will not work as a flotation device. It won't choke you, though, either. We tested that. They did 25 studies on these kids in the screen. It will not entertain them. We've tried that.

Starting point is 00:24:34 They don't really play with it. Because obviously there's more things that they could warn about, but they can't put them all on the label. Yeah. It's not going to be a flotation device. If I use it as a flotation device and drown, do I get a serum? Not a great source of nutritional value. Yes.

Starting point is 00:24:47 Put that disclaimer on there. Yes, not a dietary supplement. Lawsuit. I think so. Not a good source of vitamin C. There you go. Fill in the blank. All those things.

Starting point is 00:24:57 So anyway, that's a thought for you today. You were at a lake house, you said? Mm-hmm. So I assume that lake is filled with... Water. Good range? No, I'm just kidding. Water.

Starting point is 00:25:12 I was like, we're going fish or we're going water? Oh, hey. I know. Yeah, good point. Two for one. I was thinking water. You were thinking water. Yeah, lakes are almost always filled with water.

Starting point is 00:25:22 Sometimes they're filled with fish. Just fish everywhere. They're stock everywhere. Just nothing but fish. Yeah. And they figure out how to breathe. Anyway, I bring up water because we were sponsored by a little water company by the name of Healing Waters International. Yes. Yeah. If you don't know by now, you haven't been listening to the last six weeks worth of episodes, but their tagline here is just safe water changes everything. Yeah. If you don't know by now, you haven't been listening to the last six weeks worth of episodes. But their tagline here is just safe water changes everything. Easy.

Starting point is 00:25:50 It's, it's, it's. How can you fight that? It's a simple yet just massive problem in the world that people do not have safe drinking water. And we're, we're trying to do what we can to help, help that out. So we've already, we've already been able to double our impact by raising $10,000. It's gotten matched. And we're asking you guys to continue to potentially raise some more for them. Three billion people still lack

Starting point is 00:26:14 basic hand-washing facilities at home. That's kind of wild. About half those people rely on unsafe drinking water. Finding clean water is clearly a problem internationally, a lot of places. Heck, Flint, Michigan, seems like they're having trouble. Even in America clean water is clearly a problem internationally. A lot of places. Heck, Flint, Michigan. Seems like they're having trouble. Even in America.

Starting point is 00:26:28 Water's not a given. It's nice that we have it. Right. But there's a lot of places, specifically Chiapas, Mexico, that we want to help out and we've already been helping out. So consider donating.

Starting point is 00:26:37 Give.healingwaters.org slash ghostrunners slash ghostrunners is the URL. It's also linked below. Yeah, check it out. Join the movement. I mean, so many ghosties have donated, um, and just ask that you continue,

Starting point is 00:26:48 uh, considering donating, uh, the gift of clean, healthy drinking water. Yep. Your contribution will provide individuals access to safe water, educate women and children about the importance of safe water and hand-washing, which is just wild to think that some people don't understand that, um, you know, don't have that experience like we do and then teach healthy habits to prevent illnesses and save lives. So, uh, once again, give dot healing waters at org slash ghost runners, check it out, uh, donate today, uh, as little as $30 can provide a child with safe drinking water for a year. Word word. We, uh, took a kind of image family van from thousand oaks to funner california yep this past weekend

Starting point is 00:27:29 uh yeah about a four and a half hour road trip and we stop at one point to get a little little coffee a little bagel you know nice little shop and while i'm waiting for my bagel i just start talking to this guy next to me he's originally from turkey and he's lived in the Los Angeles area for a long time now. And someone we get talking about, he found out that in Turkey, in Asia Minor in general, he called it. It's pretty fancy. Oh, that's fun to say. They really appreciate walnuts because of baklava and a few other things that they really

Starting point is 00:28:01 use walnuts for, apparently. He's like, well, I found out when I moved to Los Angeles, we have all these walnut trees and different kinds of walnuts and different purities and styles, whatever. And so he's like, so I just started this business where I would just export walnuts to Turkey. And so it was really interesting and fun learning about it. He's telling me, at certain times, 40 truckloads. 40 truckloads of walnuts.

Starting point is 00:28:22 I was like, that's a lot of walnuts. He's like, you bet that is. Yeah. What kind of truck are we talking? Ford Rangers or or like semi-truck yeah 18 wheels uh-huh yes the carrier ship made to float holy cow uh so it's just interesting talking to him i really enjoyed it um and i was thinking i was like oh my you know my dad would love this conversation this is so cool and then i'm thinking like that guy might have been a billionaire that's just one of those things it's just like he might have made a billion dollars

Starting point is 00:28:45 off of walnuts you know shipping walnuts yeah and then I'm getting in the car back in the van and I'm telling the other people

Starting point is 00:28:53 about this conversation I had and then I find out he's our driver he had been driving us for two hours no way no way I was sitting in the back

Starting point is 00:29:03 I'm in the fifth row fourth row whatever it is i didn't see up at the front i didn't know how'd you figure it out and uh it's just like that looks look in the rear of your mirror trying to get an angle oh my gosh i guess he's not a billionaire or he's just bored you know yeah he's already got 40 trucks working for him he wants to work for himself that's how he launders it oh my gosh that's so funny like you guys are you're like yeah it's like a pretty inspiring story and he's like thank you very much we will be there an hour and a half thank you for the kind words whoa how'd you do that did you drive us here yes did you swap with the driver are you are you hot i

Starting point is 00:29:38 can do the ac a little bit higher it's like okay what the that is so funny. Really threw me off. Um, really? Yeah. I was thinking extremely highly of him. I mean, not that I think less of it, but I was like, that guy, I might just talk to my first billionaire. That's pretty cool. Who knows? And he's like, all right, everyone loaded in. Oh my gosh. That's the guy. Cause we even ended the conversation. I was like, dude, it was great talking. I want to hold you up anymore. Like have a good rest of your day. Cause he had his stuff and I was still talking to you. I don't want to hold you up anymore. Like, have a good rest of your day. Because he had his stuff, and I was still talking to him. And I was like, hey, I'll let you get on with your day. We just get in the same van.

Starting point is 00:30:09 That is funny. What an idiot. That is so funny. I'd like to think that that would never happen to me, but maybe it would. In your situation where you are traveling and using Uber drivers all the time, whatever, like flying. Yeah, I got to get to know my drivers better. I think I loaded up my own luggage and just went to the back row. You mentioned, yeah, you were in the back? Yeah, so just kind of funny. time whatever like flying and yeah i gotta get to know my drivers better i think you know i loaded

Starting point is 00:30:25 up my own luggage and just went to the back row and you mentioned yeah you were in the back yeah so just kind of funny um and thank goodness what a fun scenario i was talking highly of him that's great because if it was like a movie i would have been talking like poorly about him and he's like what did you say he's right in front of me driving the car isn't he geez that's so funny yeah fun fact i believe missouri and maybe kansas right behind them are like the top uh growers of walnut trees we do all right i think i've always heard like walnuts like a really high-end wood and it's cheaper in this like in the midwest than any anywhere else in the world i believe we should start our own. I've thought about starting, like, just planting walnut trees.

Starting point is 00:31:07 Yeah. Because they're not going to mature for however many years. Give them to Bo. Yeah, make it like an investment, like a walnut tree farm. I think I've talked about it maybe on a podcast. Bo, these are your walnuts. These are your trees. You do whatever you want with the nuts.

Starting point is 00:31:19 But it sounds like there's more of the process than just waiting for the trees to mature enough to cut them down. He's using... Harvesting. Maybe I talk to this guy, figure it out. You'll figure it out. Nice guy. Pretty good driver.

Starting point is 00:31:34 Nothing great, though. What do you want in a driver? Not to get carsick and not for him to text and drive as much as he did. He was texting and driving. Yeah. Trey was sitting in the front, and he sends us this texts like two hours into it. He said, our driver is elite at texting and driving. Really? Um, yeah. How do you like, as far as like aggression goes, as far as driving aggression, how do you like your driver? Oh, chill, calm. Why risk it? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:01 What's the difference in getting there in five hours and four and a half hours? Just get us there. It just feels like so often when i take ubers which are like you know 15 minute drives they're like pedal to the metal flying around yeah i'm like i don't know if i need that i don't i don't hate it though like yeah i don't it's just never worth it never ever worth it so i i'm always just like you can can just chill. You can just calm down. I always tell our bus drivers like, Hey, they eat,

Starting point is 00:32:27 whether they just drove us like, Hey, thanks for getting us there safely. Or if they're about to drive us, Hey, thanks in advance for getting us to, you know, right.

Starting point is 00:32:33 Des Moines safely. Appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. Who cares how slow it is. Bus drivers next level. Like you have to be on your game. You better not be texting and driving that thing.

Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah. I think they get in big trouble. So I think they like, everything's away. They're two hands on the wheel right locked in they got those i feel like truck drivers love the headset they do like headsets yeah yeah so i could get into it i could be convinced that's right uh gotta spend a lot of time with timing yesterday four straight hours yeah is that four and a half yeah we uh we booked some courts at chicken pickle to get some shooting in so yeah this is the as we're shooting this recording this it's still the week of the ppa tournament so everyone's flying in pros creators

Starting point is 00:33:14 everything so we got creators yeah the uh there's a guy named kyle kazuta on youtube he goes by that pickleball guy he's been doing it for years and years so i mean he's got 120 000 subscribers just doing pickleball stuff and he might be i need to tell him this in person next time i see him i text him a little bit but like one of the my favorite people i've ever like collabed with and made videos with in that kind of setting we're like we don't know each other we're coming together to film like really he was awesome time i don't know what your impression of him was but i fully agree yeah he was just great i don't know how much i said when you guys are talking about it like i just yeah he was so he's 30 years old

Starting point is 00:33:47 he's like a former like college basketball athlete just picked up pickleball and yeah just like but just really talented and like had funny ideas and oh just like

Starting point is 00:33:55 not afraid to just throw out ideas yeah that's what I was telling Rachel it was nice to like when you're making humor as content it can be tough to like

Starting point is 00:34:02 be on the same page or like what someone thinks is funny you're like I don't really want to do that or you know and it's not that he's a comedian by any sorts but he has a good grasp of like what will work and he helped like kind of direct everything and it just felt like this is so easy and so fun and this is just great so dude you should yeah work with him more often so yeah we shot with him for like two hours and then oh at one point

Starting point is 00:34:23 shooting this is kind of fun such cute two like nine-year-old girls came up with him for like two hours. And then, oh, at one point shooting, this is kind of fun, such cute. Two like nine-year-old girls came up with their moms. Like, I'm sorry, we're huge fans. And you know, for a second, it's kind of like of, you know, and they came up to more us. So we're like, oh my gosh, let's get a picture. And so we take a picture with them and then they kind of walk off.

Starting point is 00:34:38 And, or we can talk to them. We're like, what are you guys in town for? And they're like, we're here. We're playing the PPA tournament. Like, oh my gosh, when is it? We'll have to come watch. And it's Thursday. Okay, we'll be there. We'll see you guys in town for and they're like we're here we're playing the ppa tournament like oh my gosh when is it we'll have to come watch and it's thursday okay we'll be there we'll see you guys and then as they kind of walk away i was like dang kyle you gotta get a few more subscribers yes you know he's like if you actually want to win that tournament hit me up because

Starting point is 00:34:57 he's like a instructor and coach and everything that's great it was fun those girls were awesome and they had a uh they had asked in the middle of one of the shoots like can we play a game with you guys i was like yes of course um kyle gets out of there at four and then a guy named connor garnett he's the number three player in the world right now we've agreed to shoot with him at four it's like i don't really know when we play with these girls and so we tried to get a quick game in and time i don't know if you saw actually i don't know why you would have but the mom made a whole t TikTok about the whole experience, the pictures and videos and to some rap song. It was great. I look forward to seeing them again.

Starting point is 00:35:31 Anyway, and then, yeah, it was just fun. We played with this Connor. I mean, he was really great, too. This guy, I was like, does he have much of a tennis background? He used to be Novak Djokovic's hitting partner pre-tournament. So he just basically was like his bullpen catcher.

Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah, yeah, essentially. Like I assume if you hit with those people, they really like you because you're very talented. Wow. So I don't know how good he ever got at tennis, but yeah, Joker Bitch's hitting partner. And yeah, he has made the adjustment to pickleball quite well.

Starting point is 00:35:58 Very good. Yeah. It was, so I had an idea. I was like, let's do Scott versus Connor in singles. Every two points, Connor's paddle gets worse. Okay. Kind of a fun format.

Starting point is 00:36:08 Well, Scott comes out of the gate. Connor's got his original paddle. Scott's up to one. And we're going, oh my gosh, is Scott one of the best singles players in the world?

Starting point is 00:36:16 How is this going to work when he gets to the frying pan? I am seriously thinking, really thinking like we might need to start over and it might need to be me against him or something because Scott's just too good.

Starting point is 00:36:26 Well, is this guy better at singles? Yep. He's ranked third in the world of singles at a little lower on doubles. So, I mean, he is nasty and Scott is somehow beating him and they both have real paddles.

Starting point is 00:36:36 And then I don't know what happens. And then this guy goes down to like using an Amazon paddle and then using Palmer's little girl power paddle and then using a frying pan and uh yeah end up being scott so it was awesome yeah was it close uh it was close we had to do a little movie magic at certain points okay but scott did really well and so did connor so dude fun little shoot day yesterday yeah i feel like anytime you're playing somebody better than you and you like barely get up you like mentally are like okay don't don't screw this up all right yeah keep doing what I was doing.

Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah. Very rarely do you, you know, keep up with it for 11 points, but that's pretty funny. Yeah, it was fun. And then we got done a little early. And so then we played with time and for a little bit,

Starting point is 00:37:14 okay, which is fun. Was that better? Was he better or worse than Connor? Tywin was worse than Connor. I don't know what time it's ranking would be, but close behind. I was more of a doubles guy.

Starting point is 00:37:24 Yeah. It was just reminded me. Like I I I feel like I'm just like I'm pretty adequate in my friend group and I'm just like I'm just such a casual like it was funny when you said that like one had kind of hit off the side of your paddle or something you're like guys I'm sorry I'm going through a little bit of adjustment here in my friend group I'm like in kind of the upper echelon and this is way different it was just wild how fast the ball moves like compared to yeah, but obviously it was not anything intense It was like they're hitting the faster ones to Scott. But yeah, yeah It's also like pickleball when you play against certain people you get used to those people Yes, I remember that in the turn totally like I'll be like this guy is not better than me

Starting point is 00:38:03 But he's doing things that I don't think you should be doing right now. He doesn't hit it how Isaac hits it, which is what I'm used to. Yeah. He's just smacking the ball at me. I should just let it go out, but I, I'm not ready for him to smack. Like he's not dinking like he should or whatever. Yeah, exactly. You know? And so maybe your friends do, do certain things and you're used to them. I'm sure your friends are not as good as yeah. These guys, but no, yeah, that's probably part of it, but yeah. And you're doing doing so you're starting your tournament tomorrow so scott plays today as recording this he's got his like men's pro qualifier today at three so what does that mean exactly so to be in like the main draw basically the professional tournament you kind of have to earn that you have to be like

Starting point is 00:38:38 a signed ppa player but you could also earn it via like a play-in tournament or whatever. Last year at the Kansas City PPA, there were like 16 teams or something. You had to win a few games and they took the top four. This year, there's 71 teams. Versus 16 last year? Yeah, competing for eight spots. So Scott's going to have to get hot. This is doubles.

Starting point is 00:39:00 So he and TJ are playing together. That's pretty, that's so telling of like, what is the state of pickleball right now? that's that's so telling of like what is the state of pickleball right yeah there's so many people at the high level now playing on the converse last year there were 1500 people signed up and this year there's only 800 so it like dropped in half as far as like participation interest so there's 800 total with pros and everything or is that yeah interesting so you think like you think that those seven you say 71 or whatever yeah do you think those are all similarly matched to scott

Starting point is 00:39:31 dude oh it's funny you bring that up i don't know if i should say this on the podcast i had just another experience where i was i was told i was getting something. It was false advertising. Okay. Yeah, they were really nice. I shouldn't say it on the podcast, but there might be a few people who are not up to that caliber. Is this the reference? I saw a text. What was the text?

Starting point is 00:39:58 Something about, yeah, I can't come to the Royals game because I'm going to be watching Jake play 12-year-old boys. Oh. Something like that? No, that's a real thing. So that's happening tonight too game because i'm gonna be watching jake play 12 year old boys oh something like that no that's a real thing so that's happening tonight too so i'm gonna go watch scott play and then at 6 30 tonight this video i'm so excited uh this video is gonna crush hopefully it's gonna be like uh we challenged the number one ranked 12 year olds so it's like the two like national champs like they're at 12 and under um we're meeting up with them tonight at

Starting point is 00:40:23 6 30 to play against them okay okay so uh they're gonna beat you you think they are they absolutely are really yeah so i think we'll do one game isaac and i straight up get destroyed and maybe another game where we can like earn scott or something potentially and he joins us what's yeah what kind of strategy would you take against 12 year olds lobs depending on how tall they are i would just i would just go for power and just hope that you can catch them off guard or something. What are 12-year-olds afraid of? The dark. Puberty?

Starting point is 00:40:50 The puberty in the dark. I'll show my butthole then. I don't know if I'm going to say it, but I'm going to say that. I'll say that one. I'll say something if it's a punchline, just not a personal story. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:41:05 Oh, my gosh. What are 12-year-olds afraid of? You did not expect 10 seconds later to hear what Jake was about to say. Oh, man. I think we could use the puberty angle appropriately. Yeah. It's like we're not talking to them. Isaac and I are just having a very public conversation about our changing bodies.

Starting point is 00:41:21 That kind of scares them, I think, a little bit. Okay. Yeah. And also the dark. Maybe just ask them open-ended questions about it. Like, hey, have you felt the... Has it turned green yet? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:31 You're like, what's that talking? What color is it? Jeez. Oh my gosh. Just like, what are you talking about? Nothing. Dude, help me. I'm trying to play pickleball yeah get there i think just in general mentally you gotta you gotta work them that's how we that's

Starting point is 00:41:50 how we beat them yeah last thing i'll say about all this is it came out so isaac and i all the momentum going into that 4.0 our first tournament three years it's gonna be saturday we don't know the bracket but we've seen the players looked looked them all up out of their ages there's like six of them that are minors there's like probably three different father-son teams in your bracket yeah like playing against us which is like one of those like lose-lose scenarios it's like either destroy the 10 year old or you get beat by the 10 year old either way not a good look well are you able to see how old they are yeah okay i was gonna say minors like could be 17 and a half years old.

Starting point is 00:42:25 No. Yeah. There's like, I think legitimately at least four 12 year olds, there's like one 10 year old and they're playing at the 4.0 level. So they're probably pretty nasty, but that's the thing. Like,

Starting point is 00:42:34 yeah. Like I understand I would be the same way as you'd be like, I don't know. Like I feel kind of bad. The elite athletes would just beat everybody the same way. I've just learned that. I've, I'm not an elite athlete.

Starting point is 00:42:45 I know, me neither. Too nice. You play with enough, like playing basketball with Andy Studebaker, just a mediocre NFL linebacker. Like truly like was on some of the worst Chiefs teams of all time. Was not even the best linebacker on our team, but we played basketball with him and he's just a monster of a man. And we played against guys that could barely dribble the basketball sometimes.

Starting point is 00:43:06 And he did not change his demeanor or how hard he fought at all. It's good mental toughness. Brother. I needed this pep talk. Studebaker up, dude. Studebaker up. You understand me? Put the stud in Studebaker.

Starting point is 00:43:17 Put the stud in Studebaker and get out there. And just, it's not personal. It's just sports. It's his business. It's just pickleball. Which is my business. Which is your business sorry guys i had to i think uh yeah you're not you're not gonna lose to a kid and so just don't even let him let let it as as a dad i would i wouldn't want my kid to learn hey maybe i have a chance against these kids i would be like they don't have a chance i

Starting point is 00:43:41 gotta go back and work harder for this thing yeah i. You know, I will be back with a vengeance. George Kittle, I will be back. One catch, three yards, Super Bowl. Yeah, so it'll be fun. Rachel's going to come. Isaac's parents are going to come out. Garrett Gibson texted me. He's like, I want to watch.

Starting point is 00:43:54 I said, it's Saturday. He said, that's my anniversary. I said, don't come. Oh, come on, Garrett. You don't need the whole day. So it's Saturday is the day? Saturday at noon is when it starts. I can make that.

Starting point is 00:44:05 I can manage my way around that. Yeah. Come see us. We got Derek to shoot. Probably in Wisconsin or something. Yeah. Where are you going to be? I'm going on this worship type thing, just like filming content for this

Starting point is 00:44:20 worship leader guy in Duluth, Minnesota. I've never seen one hand up while you're filming. Yeah, it's shaky. Well, I was worshiping the whole time. Well, you're doing it. I was doing it.

Starting point is 00:44:33 I'm sincere. Yeah, yeah. Look, I'll film you doing worship. I got to put the ear... What's the punchline? Ear plugs. Ear plugs. Ah, shucks.

Starting point is 00:44:42 Dang. That was hilarious. That was good, dude. That was so funny. Cut it and do it again. I'll laugh. If you play worship, I'll just have to put the ear plugs in. I'm sorry. I'm still thinking about it it's still so funny

Starting point is 00:45:08 last thing about pickleball I texted Scott and Isaac last night at 1am I'm just thinking about it a little more earplugs you just can't hear because you're so affected by the worship music you just can't help it

Starting point is 00:45:24 alright go ahead yeah one more thing about pickleball Right? Because you're so affected by the worship music. You just can't help it, man. All right. Go ahead. Yeah. Well, one more thing about pickleball. 1 a.m. last night, I texted Scott and Isaac. I was like, I don't know what the other 4.0 means doubles participants are doing, but I'm up late Googling Dirk Nowitzki 2011 NBA Finals MVP mallet finger.

Starting point is 00:45:41 Because I found out Dirk Nowitzki played six games of the NBA finals with mallet finger on his middle finger and he won MVP. That was the year they won? How did he do it? And what kind of splint was he using?

Starting point is 00:45:53 And I'm doing all these like interviews. I'm like Googling pictures of him like holding the trophy and trying to figure this out. And I found a video of him talking to the American Hand Association.

Starting point is 00:46:02 How did they land this interview? And he had a three minute interview about his mallet finger. So, new splint just dropped. Figured out something new. I was like, Jimmy rigging stuff at 1 a.m. last night. I'm like cutting into metal and doing all this stuff. And, oh, I'm back. Really?

Starting point is 00:56:22 It was maybe three, four months ago now, but you said something funny. Oh no was to yourself you said i'm sorry yeah i said whoops to myself i think or maybe it was i'm sorry i think you said i'm sorry down in your basement doing laundry yeah i put the wrong thing in the dryer oh sorry yeah you're right oh yeah i was sorry oh sorry yeah that's too bad oh oh sorry uh i mean uh what that is great cool sweet oh my bad so okay man that's funny jake that was a casino night jordan his wife all of them awesome eli montana the people i can't remember their names i really i can't tell you how pumped i am for you yeah he's just a good dude jordan siervo is Vo? Is that how you say his name? Yep. Very good. Cool. I remember, Brad, when you were telling the, in a recent, like, I recently listened to the episode when you were talking about that.

Starting point is 00:57:10 Yeah. And, like, I can't, like, retell it. I'm not going to do it justice, but, like, at some point while you're explaining it, Jake makes a joke that, like, I think made me laugh the hardest, like, out loud listening back to stuff. Really? In a long time. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:57:25 It was a joke about the shoes? No, it uh the kid that met brad at the house oh like i don't remember this okay okay if yeah i don't know it's like yeah it was just great you remember what was it it was like ah it's not gonna be as funny i don't know it's just like he uh jordan's son like was the only one at the house or something like that. Right. And so you had like, oh, I do kind of remember that you show up. He's the only one there.

Starting point is 00:57:49 He kind of had to interview you a little bit, like make sure you're fine, which is great. And then you came in. What was it? He's like trying. He was offering to get you drinks and stuff or whatever. Like, so Jordan full circle. Jordan's the reason he is the one that motivated me to get nitro at my house because he's the one that has nitro. He has nitro and kombucha on tap.

Starting point is 00:58:08 Jeez, what was the... I think it was just like you were saying how much you love the nitro stuff, but also just how much you love having just the kid just bringing it to you and offering it to you and stuff. And then Jake was just like, well, you order the machine on Wayfair and you get the... Something like well you order the the machine on wayfair and you get like something like that i don't know the

Starting point is 00:58:28 anyway that just caught me off guard it was great that's fun go back it's like in the 170s somewhere somewhere in there but yeah i forgot yeah the kid kind of like interrogated you like oh yeah what were my parents names or something like that like to make sure you're supposed to be there yeah that's pretty cool yeah and like apparently he had just learned that like a week before he just talked about this thing like which is funny because like jordan they live in a nice normal neighborhood it's a it's a nice he has a very nice house but like it's also a gated house so i had to like know the code to get through the gate before i even knocked on the door and then but i called jordan as i was like coming up to the gate or coming up to the door

Starting point is 00:59:06 and so jordan's like hey it's me i'm you know he's he's okay to get in like give him some coffee or kombucha or whatever so that's great what a house nitro and kombucha on tap it is a beautiful house and a kid is a security guard a wonderfully awesome house so So, yep. They're, they're really cool. So, um, letting her breathe. How she look looks good. I would be nervous. I'd be nervous as heck to let her breathe.

Starting point is 00:59:33 Like, what would you do if I just threw a ball at you? Like, it was like, Hey, that'd be pretty mean. I know. Oh,

Starting point is 00:59:41 don't do that. Like if I just throw this, let it hit you. If I throw this, roaster at you, I just have to take it. You wouldn't, you would, you would instinctively catch it.

Starting point is 00:59:51 Uh, it's scaring me right now. I'm nervous. I'm like, Oh, don't wait, wait, what does that say?

That's exactly what you about vibes vibes always go down smooth is that what i said i think so 100 that's exactly what you said always go down smooth uh you guys want to play a little game here um to potentially i don't know how long you've been going but uh potentially in the episode or at least do something here uh we've done we've done spontaneous catchphrase before maybe a long time ago and i think it's time to bring it back. Bring it back. So when Jake and I did a long time ago, I can remember specifically it was in the woodshop, like back when we were recording there.

Starting point is 01:01:50 So I don't know if we've done it since then, but good memory time will let us know when he's catching up on episodes. Um, but I think this time we should do it. It's so if you know what catchphrase is, I mean, it's just, we're doing catchphrase,

Starting point is 01:02:01 but without having something to actually make the clue up for us. So we're making the clue up as we're going around the circle. Um, and we're just guessing each other's clues. It's there's no real like gamesmanship to it. You're not going to win or lose. Um, but I think we should have categories. I might find a way to lose. Yeah. So let's start off. Uh, first of all, I did find a a uh timer uh that's kind of funny it's called jim something jimnetworks.com catchphrase timer and that's g-e-m g-e-m because but it sounds like this guy might be a guy named jim just making his own timer could be um just give us a little preview time. So that's Jim. So Jim's going to be our timer for this. Um, and let's, let's start out with the category. How about just things your, your iPhone does besides just being a phone. Okay. And who's going to who let's go. I'll start and we'll just go

Starting point is 01:03:01 this way. Oh, okay. We all take turns. We're all guessing. And yeah, we'll just think about different things we can do. And we can make it as simple. I think this one's a little more simple than some. We'll get a little more abstract as we go. Let's do it. But here we go. So Jim, go ahead and give us a...

Starting point is 01:03:20 Okay. This is like if you try to see how long, how many inches something is. Measure. Measure. Okay, this is the one with numbers. Calculator. Yes. Okay, this is something you could put on YouTube. Video.

Starting point is 01:05:54 I heard people say, like, if he won gold, it would have been too suspicious, so he won silver. Oh! But it's just funny, because no one's talking about whoever won gold. Yeah, everyone's talking about the silver guy. You can just get in second place and still get talked about the most. See that Swedish, um, Paul Volter, when he set the world record, he posed like the silver guy. You can get in second place and still get talked about. See that Swedish Paul Volter when he set the world record,

Starting point is 01:06:07 he posed like the Turkish guy. It's like becoming a meme. He did this to the camera after he won gold. That's funny. Who did? The Swedish Paul Volter did. Is that guy American?

Starting point is 01:06:16 Yeah, he was born and raised in Louisiana, but I think his parents are Swedish. Can I go ahead and say I don't love that? I don't like that.

Starting point is 01:06:24 You don't like he was born in Louisiana. I don't like that. You don't like he was born in Louisiana. I don't like that he's not playing for the American team. Yeah, it is kind of shocking that you're allowed to do that. It seems like there's a lot of wiggle room with country of Olympic participation. Like if he has, if he's got dual, do you think he has dual sets?

Starting point is 01:06:38 Maybe. And that's what. Also, he could definitely be on the American team if he wanted to be. He must like the Swedes. I don't know. Yeah, he like ran track in college with Shaquiri Richardson. They were like there at the same time. Oh, really? Also, can we talk about her?

Starting point is 01:15:20 one 20 second timer. Uh, Jim got in there. Always fun with spontaneous catchphrase. That was good. Let us know what you guys think. If you want to bring it back more often. let us know if you want us to play Branson when we're all together I don't know

Starting point is 01:15:28 that would be fun you guys probably wouldn't like it would you I have a random poultry of the week that happened I've been like trying to eat better and one of the things that is like an easy on the go thing to eat is grilled

Starting point is 01:15:45 nuggets from Chick-fil-A. Good. I found out that you can order a 30 count of them on the app and or in person, but try to eat healthier. So it's, it's healthy. It's a lot of protein. You eat 30 at a time.

Starting point is 01:15:58 Yes. Oh my God. A hundred grams of protein. Daddy needs his team. So many nuggets. It's a lot guys. It's teen. So many nuggets. That's a lot. Guys, it's good. I'm sure.

Starting point is 01:16:09 Then again, it's like 500 calories. Yeah. Okay. It just seems like a lot of food. No, I just couldn't put that much down. I don't think I could eat 30 nuggets. I'm such a light eater, I feel like. Well, you guys are skinny, okay? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:16:18 It just seems like a lot. Nevermind. I eat 30 pizza rolls. That's gotta be the same. I think that's probably more. Maybe I'll try. Maybe I'll get a 30 count and see how many. Do you go with sauce?

Starting point is 01:16:27 I'm talking grilled nuggets with one little, yeah, little honey roasted barbecue. Shake it up in there. Because grilled nuggets. Wow. Dude, have you ever had grilled? It's all in one. Yeah, yeah, I have. Yeah, it gets, it attaches pretty easy.

Starting point is 01:16:40 Yeah, it's like a homogenous blend. It's homogenous. So. I don't think I could do 30 with sauce. That. I will say it fills you up, which is what you want. I bet. I'm getting a little defensive now.

Starting point is 01:16:50 You it was just funny. Like I was trying to, you know, trying to eat better. Yeah, I found out there's a secret menu. You could order a catering style menu option. Listen, yeah. So the other night I'm at this lake house. I'm like, well, pizza place down the road. I'm not going to eat pizza.

Starting point is 01:17:08 I'm going to go get my grilled nuggets, even though it's like 17 minutes away. A little bit inconvenient. It is fun to pig out when you're like batching it like that, when you're by yourself. Listen, I'm not pigging out, Jake. I'm just eating out. Oh, dude, it's so fun. Just like forget about your troubles. Oh, dude.

Starting point is 01:17:21 Yeah. Nothing matters. Every day is cheat day. It's like the opposite of what I was trying to do. I was like, man, pizza sounds good, but I'm going to be better with nuggets. You're like, oh, dude, Oh, yeah. Nothing matters. Every day is cheat day. It's like the opposite of what I was trying to do. I was like, man, pizza sounds good, but I'm going to be better with nuggets. You're like, oh, dude, I love. I get it. You can be lenient. I love just like.

Starting point is 01:17:31 You can be lenient in your eating health. You think about the troubles of the world and just, you know. That's my bad. Going to town and feeling bad afterwards. Anyway, all I have to say, go order my nuggies. She, you know, in line, she's like, is that a meal or do you want that? Just the nuggets. I judge just the nuggets.

Starting point is 01:17:49 And she's like, are you sure? It's still a ton of food. No. And so I get them. I leave. I get all the way 17 minutes back to the lake house. I look not grilled, brother. Oh, and that hurt.

Starting point is 01:18:03 Dang it. All of a sudden, 500 calories turned into 950 calories it's a bummer when anyone messes up your order in the drive-thru but when you ordered 30 of something they messed up 30 times basically messed up so many times they get your drink wrong they messed up one time and it was in hindsight i always get frustrated if somebody like comes back with my food and they're like oh shoot they gave you vanilla instead of chocolate. Like, well, why didn't you check? And I, I didn't check. I think I just, I, I think Chick-fil-A is just sharper than most places or something. So I didn't check and I was so bummed at myself. So I wasn't able to eat them all.

Starting point is 01:18:40 It feels extra wrong when Chick-fil-A messes it up. Cause like I trusted you. I trust it. And I spent a lot of money. I mean, it's like 20 bucks for 30 count. It's like Taco Bell. Yeah. I'm going to double check that. Chick-fil-A, I trusted you. I didn't check. Also Taco Bell, the difference between a gordita crunch and a five layer burrito, it basically tastes the same. Yeah. It's just different layer of ingredients. Oh, it was a, it was a literal poultry of the week for me. Dude, I'm sorry. It was all right. I pigged out. I just had the fried stuff.

Starting point is 01:19:09 Oh, I love just like when you're by yourself. Oh, that's the best. That was so funny. Oh, that's the best. Anyway, just a little poultry for you. Just a bummer. That was a bummer. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:19:21 It's okay. Thanks for trying to redeem yourself. Yep. Yep. Should we? We didn't do a review of the week maybe that's comment of the week when of the week finish up with that what do you think let's see if I am bricked from podcast app here

Starting point is 01:19:35 I am this is distraction so excuse me while I find it on my phone this is a distraction all right my review the week comes from a facebook post from writer burdett oh yeah jake and brad please

Starting point is 01:19:49 consider this my extensive review of the talk show for reference i've been listening for over four years since my friend recommended it during covid i was hooked from being a

Starting point is 01:19:59 part of the most dynamic fantasy football league in podcast history to trying to convince my mother to let my 16 year old self drive to kansas alone in order to go to trying to convince my mother to let my 16-year-old self drive to Kansas alone in order to go to F12. I've always enjoyed being a part of this community immensely.

Starting point is 01:20:11 A fun part about those four years of listening is that they complemented my high school career as I started listening as a freshman and have now graduated. The growth that I've seen in my life was always partnered with the consistent presence of Ghost Hunters, so much so that I would often remember seasons of my life in conjunction with the seasons of the podcast. All of my friends would often roll their eyes when I would remark,

Starting point is 01:20:28 you know, my podcast was talking about and proceeded to tell them about the newest sense. I joke, none of them understood. With that being said, going to college, I found that my life has been picking up speed as of late, and I cannot keep up with the amazing episodes in the incredible,

Starting point is 01:20:40 incredible community. We all are. That is to say, I will be announcing my retirement from the bi-weekly listing. I hope this retirement comes much like Tom Brady's and I'm able to come back soon. But as for now, I thought it would be appropriate to show my appreciation for the past four years

Starting point is 01:20:53 in the form of encouragement for Jake and Brad. Thank you both for your continued dedication to God's calling in both your lives. You've been a constant presence in my life during times in high school when I struggled with change. Continue to shine your light and be stewards of the responsibility God has given both of
