Happy Wednesday, ghosties. As Mitch had previously, Brad will be joining us later in the episode via the internet. But for now, it's just me and Tyman. I was trying to think of what, how we're gonna start this episode. For whatever reason, I said, Tyman, you wanna give me a voice lesson?

I said, yes. He said, yeah, sure. This is gonna be terrible. All right, I'm ready. Yeah, yeah, I've never had a voice lesson before. All right, so let's first, ideally we'd be standing, but just like sit up straight. I've heard that, you know, when I watched Pitch Perfect,

she was doing the cup song sitting, and someone's like, that's very hard to do, sitting down like that. Especially kinda hunched over. Kinda hunched. So like we'll make do. Because you take voice lessons, right? I do, yeah.

I should be able to relay more. I'm realizing like, I take voice, I should know more about this, but I'm gonna try my best. All right. Yeah, just kinda sit up straight. Sit up straight. But'm realizing like, I take voice, I should know more about this, but I'm gonna try my best. Yeah, just kind of sit up straight. But try to like kind of stay loose. Maybe shoulders back. So breathing is important.

So when you breathe and you're singing. My shoulder's far back enough or is that good? I think you're good. When you breathe, kind of just let everything expand. Your pelvic floor can go down kind of. Oh, great. I do that anyway. Great, perfect.

So we'll start by warming up. I have a little bit of a warmup pulled up. Great. Starting with the hum. The hum? Yeah, so. Okay. He demonstrates.

Okay. So try giving him like a. Mm. Okay. Mm. Oh, that's not a good sign that that's already hard for me. No, no, no, this is actually, it's not the easiest thing to do.

Try, okay. But still humming, that shouldn't be that hard. Sure. Uh, so let's try going a little higher. I'm actually trying, I'm actually trying, okay. Let's try a little, so like, mm, let's start with this pitch. I didn't have my shoulders back. Try to match them.

Mm, mm, up. Mm, mm. This is the problem. I can't hear good. I can't hear good. Great. Okay. Now just try to give me like a Once it gets bad, I cannot laugh at myself. Yeah. Okay. Great. Okay. Okay. Now-hmm. Great, okay. Okay, now let's do, let's try a lip trill warmup. So this is like, that kind of warmup. Okay, can you do that?

Okay, now try to do it with your voice. Give me like a- You guys do this? Yes, yeah. Lip trill. Either this or this. Which do you prefer? Oh, I'd prefer the second tongue trill. Okay. So give me that.

But let's go instead of... Wow. We're going to go... Are you just making this up? No. This is kind of a thing. This is kind of a thing. It's somewhat of a thing.

All right. All right. Sorry. I got to have my shoulders back. Wait, what did you do? So we're just going to go... It's somewhat of a thing. All right. All right. Sorry. I gotta have my shoulders back Wait, what did you do? So we're just gonna go? Give me your best shot. You're making this up First sound like a garbage disposal in there

Okay, I think it was good. Yes first note was good. Thanks, dude. It went a little downhill, but I think we're ready. Ready for like the test? I have the song chosen for you. I feel ready. Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You. I would just like the chorus. I'm going to give you your starting pitch. So it's like, and, and I, can you sing, can you sing and I.

Falsetto or regular? Whichever you, I mean, you know, at this point kind of, you have like experience now. All right, ready, shoulders back. You ready. Pelvic floor? Yep. What's the first note?

Let's do, let's do, and I. And I and I, and I will always love you. Will always love you. That's as good as I can do. I think that was perfect. Uh oh, 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 Cause this is Ghost from the Spock can Ghost from the Spock can There among them all, it would take you where? Ghost from the Spock can That is tough. I think there's a long ways to go. I think that you could... Like, I would actually be really curious with like actual voice lessons because I don't know what... I don't...

That wasn't necessarily made up. Like Like that's like things that we do. OK, kind of. But like I would be curious how much you could improve with like an actual voice teacher. I'd be curious, too. I would like to at least think I'm a very like teachable person. I just think I can like learn things quickly. You can pick up. But this feels like there is a genetic gap or genetic just

like threshold that I'm not ever going to cross. It is tough when it's like when you don't naturally pick up on pitch super well. Yeah. I think that's a really tough place to start from. I don't know. There's probably a point where it can't be learned. Yeah. But there's probably also a point where it can be. I don't know. I wonder. Yeah. Like, I don't know how you train that really. New different parents. You have to go back? Way back redo it. Yeah, or just different. Yeah less sports when I was six and more singing or could be I don't know I yeah, I would be curious like what the what the pinnacle is for someone like me Like could I maybe with enough work be good enough to sing in a choir. Is that like the the limit? Probably because it's like I

wonder with your exact genetics if you grew up like me or like we arched my church sings like acapella hymns. My family sings all the time. Like I wonder how much of a difference it would make. Because I know there's some like tone things where you just like are sometimes born without any like, Yeah. But you've got some for sure. I know when it's bad. It's like some people like don't know they're singing bad. That's true.

I know it's not good. Because you for sure. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's funny when that is interesting. You can hear that it's wrong, but you just can't quite like get a hold of it. You just can't fix it. Yeah. Yeah. Huh.

Oh, well, thanks for teaching me. You're welcome. Okay, so I just went out to get a hold of it. Just can't fix it, yeah. Yeah. Oh well, thanks for teaching me. You're welcome. Okay, so I just went out to get a glass of water. Yeah. I saw through the window and I said, "'Tyman?' And you said,

"'It's my win of the week.'" I did. I'm gonna let you take it away from there. Okay, I got my first car. I can't believe it. Yeah. No more big creepy van, no more big red truck.

Yeah. No more little red van. No more little red van. Yeah, I'm so excited. It was. What is it? Cause I don't know cars. Okay. It's like pitch.

It's a Kia Sportage. Oh, it's got Pekflex Kia's. Yeah, I like it as well. It's like a 2020. We got like a very good deal for what it was. Okay. Well, let me walk. Okay, so we've been, it's been a while coming.

Like look, I've been kind of keeping an eye out in like Facebook marketplace. Okay. It's been a while coming. I've been kind of keeping an eye out in Facebook Marketplace for just used, reasonable, newer cars that like, if I get it newer with low mileage, I can just like, it'll last me, hopefully just like a really long time. And then eventually my dad heard through his friend, there's this dealer, kind of like dealership,

but not really of used cars in like downtown KC. Did you go to an auction? So eventually no not an auction. Oh that would fun, but eventually we just like visited there And it was like they just have a lot of great low mileage options great And so we like, you know test drove some and like looked sad in a bunch We test sat test that was kind of boring actually no genuinely, I would love to just like do that regularly. I just love sitting in a car I've never been in. Just turning it on like, oh yeah, it's got car play.

It's got like all that, like. Yeah, just kind of looking around like, how high up do I sit? How are the cup holders? Yeah, and I will say this Kia, out of all the cars I sat in, passed the test the best. I love the sit test. The headrests, I've never felt headrests that comfortable.

Okay. It's definitely not like a perfect, like it has its flaws, but like the headrests, I was like, wow. Dude. That feels like a luxury headrest. After this, we got to go lunch and you got to drive there. I got to feel these headrests.

Yeah. That's fun, dude. All right, so yeah, what else are you looking for in the sit test? Good question. I think mainly I was realizing, I've seen a lot of people that it's just like you plug in your phone and I'd like I've never even had a driven a car where you can see what you're playing

But it's going it's like just the radio or like whatever that was one thing It's more of a picky thing, but I was like that'd be so fun to have. Yeah, that's one thing I was like, oh, it's got a nice little screen And then yeah, what else I mean just like a nice looking interior. I was like, yeah, this isn't luxury But it's just a nice it's a suitable thing. I don't want like a yeah I don't know if it's gonna last me while it looked like it's like a midsize car, right? Yeah, and if like it's like an SUV kind of yeah I was trying to decide I was like I don't need an SUV

But I would prefer one because I was like if I'm ever transporting like a bunch of like big You know video gear you have a pretty good idea of what you're gonna be using this car for work-wise. And it's hauling gear a lot of the time. And I'm probably not gonna ever get less gear or smaller gears. So like I might as well, even if I'm not typically driving a bunch of gear, I could in the future.

But yeah, it was. So what year is it? 2021. Okay, how much mileage? 6,000 miles. Okay, so that's 12,000 kilometers Exactly. Yep. Yep No, it was wild that like this guy six thousand miles. Sorry. I was ready to say my joke and now I'm processing That's crazy. It's crazy. I mean someone barely was it like an old person who had it

I don't I'm not exactly sure I know that the reason it was like six thousand miles You think that would cost like a ton it was still like a decent amount, but it was like two thousand More but I think it was like a stolen car now. We're talking so that's why the I was like there's a guy downtown It's not a big dealership. He's got like two or three and they don't last long stolen. I don't think he stole It's possible though He was very upfront. He was that it was stolen. I don't think he stole them. It's possible though. He was very upfront. He said it was a stolen car. He was kind of nervous telling me about it. No, apparently.

Yeah, the deal got good quick. He needed it off his lot by the end of the day. Apparently, Kia's are susceptible to being stolen. Like you don't necessarily want to drive a Kia and live in like a super sketchy area. I heard they're just easy. They're like, no, I'm like, they're the easiest hot wiring car in the market.

No, I think that's genuinely it. Like, key isn't just. Interesting. The security isn't great. Maybe the key is not like as custom. Maybe it's all this stuff. Key. I don't know, but I wasn't too worried because I'm not like, yeah, I don't think anyone in my neighborhood's gonna steal my car.

Bring it on. But yeah, I'm excited. Sound system was also a thing I was like, I want that to be nice. It sounds great. All right, I'm excited sound system was also a thing. I was like I want that to be nice It sounds great. I Alright, I found something sorry great kios. So yes, they're easy to steal. They're not being hotwired There's a design flaw where you can turn the ignition without needing the keys. Oh It seems like more of a recall situation

I think they did the guy was telling us that they recalled like some year that was like especially bad or something. I don't know. But okay, the newer Kios are not as easy to steal. The thefts are on older models without push button ignition. So that was like the turn ignition. I guess I have a turn ignition though. So But yeah, I already love it already. Yeah already. Cause you've been swapping between families like three different cars kind of. Yeah, it's just so nice to know if I need to drive somewhere I know what I'm driving. You know what's available.

And I know no one has like taken it or like no one's using it. And you can leave your things in your car now. Yes. You can leave like your tripod in there. Yeah. Forever. You can leave like your pickleball paddle in there.

Yes, already got the pickleball stuff in there. Good. It's a little cold. I don't know, I haven't had to use it yet, but yeah I don't know how I've heard the heat can be bad for your pickleball paddle. I don't know if the colds bad for it. It's probably fine Hope you know where to get plenty more. So if it's not working out When you said cup holders just real quick, it reminded me. Did I say cup holders?

Sure you were saying holders earlier, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sick and tired. Should just let you go ahead. Of Chick-fil-A handing me a drink carrier for two drinks. I've talked about this before. I know I have. I don't care.

I'm still sick of it anyway. Wait, why is that? I don't know. They're obsessed with the drink carrier. I don't know if I've noticed it because I only ever get one. Stop trying to make drink carriers happen. That's weird three

Yes cars have a lot of them cars have two cars always have two Yeah, and I don't know if the drink carrier is that much better than just throwing them on the ground Because it's not like this rigid thing made of Plastic like it's it's paper. It's cardboard my drink could fall over so easy in the carrier What am I supposed to do with the drink carrier now? Hold this while I draw I can't set it down. It's cardboard. My drink could fall over so easy in the carrier. What am I supposed to do with the drink carrier now? Hold this while I draw. I can't set it down. It's gonna fall over.

I don't know what the drink carrier is for. Another thing, Chick-fil-A is just, I don't know. They're losing a little bit. Going downhill. I've also talked about this before, but I get honey roasted barbecue. They think they hear honey mustard two out of five times. That's unacceptable.

I'm throwing in the word barbecue. I understand that roasted mustard sounds similar. You hear the word barbecue, you think, oh, you must have not have said honey mustard. It obviously means honey mustard barbecue. And then the last thing, you know, this new Chick-fil-A by our house, it's got an entire lane for the mobile through.

Rachel's got me doing that. She's like, you should try it, it's kind of nice. I love mobile through. So yeah, I've kind of enjoyed it, except, so yeah, you order on your phone and then it's got GPS. So it knows when, it knows like how far away you're like, I put in the order. It says, good, you're four minutes away.

We'll start preparing your order when you get close. Great, that's awesome. If that worked, but then what happens when you get the mobile through? You have to scan a QR code. Like, well, what's all you get the most room you have to scan a QR code Like what's all this GPS nonsense if now I got to scan the QR code so you got to scan the QR code and which that's fine, that's a Three second stop firms. You're there. They're seriously legit. Yeah, seriously

I'm here and then I'm okay with that and then I get I pull up to the window and Like I'm expecting it to borderline be thrown in my lap Like I don't even stop driving. Mobile through for Jake, there you go. And I pull up and they can't believe that I'm there. They are so shocked that I'm at Chick-fil-A right now. Like we gotta figure this out. I don't think it's your fault. I think it's the app's fault.

Something in the chain somewhere, we gotta figure this out. They're like, all right, so did you talk to Jeremy out there? Jeremy Snowflake? I'm like, no, I had a mobile through. this out like all right so did you talk to Jeremy out there Jeremy snowflake you know I'm like no I had a mobile through okay order for what you have and I'm like this is this is me ordering now why do I even use the app I'm just ordering face to face I don't think it's ever been that bad for me okay so maybe this is this is a brand new Chick-fil-A it could be that could be I can't emphasize enough how shocked they are when I get to that window Yeah, I wow I very rarely drive through I go in I'm mostly just cuz chick-fil-a drive through tends to be busy

and so I'll just like I I'll lie and say I'm there when I'm not quite yet. So that the mobile through so that well, no, no the um, I Still always do pick up Oh curbside. Is that what they call it? Or whatever? I just do it inside the just just like on the little shelf. Holy cow, that's my bad. But hey, you're good, you're good. But I always like, a few minutes before I'm actually there, I'll say I'm there.

So then like by the time I'm there, it's just sitting there. I've said there about 60 times. I like that, except there shouldn't be loopholes for you to have to attack. They should just like, when you're two minutes away, they should have it. That's true.

That way you don't have to like lie to them. Yeah. I just, I don't want to see them go downhill. They can't. I'm calling them out. I'm holding them to a high standard. Yeah. That's good.

I want the best for you Chick-fil-A. The drink carrier is the main thing. Yeah. Get rid of the drink carrier. That's mainly it. Okay, but you got a new car. Yeah. That's pretty fun. I'm but you got a new car. Yeah. That's pretty fun.

I'm so excited. It's gonna be great. What are your friends? Have you gotten to like take your friends around in it? Yeah. When did you get this? About like Wednesday, Wednesday? Today's Thursday.

Thursday, okay. A week ago Wednesday. So, sorry. No wait. Yeah, right before Thanksgiving. Yes, correct. Cool. Yep.

Fun, dude. Yeah, already put it to good use. That's great I have a guess of which one you're gonna do first. All right. All right, say the same time three two one Hi That wasn't my guess I just I I froze. You could have convinced me with the delay that you nailed it. I don't know. Oh, maybe. Okay. But integrity rules. All right. Hey, maintrosters.com. They're still sponsoring us. Shocker. Here's something that actually is a shocker. Some of you guys have not supported them yet. You've been listening for years.

You guys have not supported them yet. You've been listening for years. And for whatever odd reason, you just haven't pulled that trigger. Today's the day. Is the odd reason because you got a weird haircut one time and you associate mainstream roasters with that? Because it's not associated with that. All right? I want to set you free from that.

What's the odd reason it could be for whatever odd reason. You have an aversion to dark things and you're working on it. But you can't fight it. You have to. You got to. You got to be cool at some point. You gotta buy this, all right? Is the odd reason because somebody one time told you you can't trust any website that doesn't end in.org? Because you can. You can't. They will secure and protect your credit card or debit card, Ramsey fans out there,

We've got pumpkin spice, of course. We've got Frosty's favorite, fireside marshmallow, caramel crunch,

and everyone's favorite, mistletoe kiss. That's what I was gonna say. I wanna give a shout out to a few orders recently. Haley sent us some info here. So, Brian in Fort Wayne, Indiana, ordered the Nutcracker sweet flavored coffee. Thanks Brian. Angie in New Hartford, Iowa, ordered the Christmas Candy Cane Holiday Blend.

And then aptly named here for the Christmas season, Noel in Fort Scott, Kansas, ordered the Mistletoe Kiss Holiday Blend. So thank you to everybody for their orders and just the loyalty that our fans, our listeners, just quality people all around order. Cool. MainstreetRoasters.com. It is cool. 10% off.

Go get it now. I have an idea. Good idea, bad idea. Okay. For your timing. So yeah, I've told Trey I'm not going to be doing stand up with him. That's one piece of this. Another piece of this is we've done a couple like in-person

Friday pickleball events and they're always really fun and they go well. And we'd like to do more of them. The only thing is like one, it's always been tricky. Like how do we not lose money on this? Like it would be like sending me, sending Isaac to these places across the country where we just give out paddles.

We're just gonna like lose a bunch of money doing that. Yeah. Solution, here's my idea. Jake Triplet comedy combines with Friday Pickleball giveaways to do one night of fun. And we partner with Chicken and Pickles across the country. So I went and looked at where Chicken Pickles are at. They're like, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City.

I mean, they're like places I already feel like there's so many ghosties already. I have a built-in fan base. They're in Phoenix, places I've performed in and have an audience. So it'd be like one night only. There's going to, you know, let's say seven o'clock come get some food. Some local live bands going to perform for 30 minutes. Yeah. Then I come, I do a 30 minute comedy set.

Yes. Your band. Best one yet. Really? Yeah. That was good. Then I come, I do a free pickleball paddle. Great. It'd be kind of fun. And some play time? Yeah, and you get to go play pickleball. I think I'm promoting it.

Friday's promoting it. Chicken Pickle's promoting it. When you mentioned all the Chicken Pickle locations though, and you said one night only, like would you just choose one? Yeah, so basically be like, all right, once a month I'm doing this. This month at Oklahoma City.

Chicken Pickle Tour. Chicken Pickle Tour, yeah, basically. I this once a month, I'm doing this. This month at Oklahoma City. Chicken Pickle Tour. Chicken Pickle Tour, yeah, basically. I moved off from Trade Kennedy to Chicken Pickle. So we'll see. I just had that idea. I like it. Driving back from Stratford, Rachel's asleep.

And I had drank a little Bucky's energy drink and I was just feeling it. Just 10 and two, complete silence, just brainstorming and I was just just feeling it just 10 and 2 complete silence Just brainstorming. Yeah, I was like this could be fun. It's a way for me to still do comedy It's a way to grow the Friday brand. That's great. Eat more chicken more pickles and you get to perform. Yep That's a great just like that would be fun. What if you did? I mean, what if you for I was like, hey, I also I brought a guy. Yeah, I brought a music guy You play guitar not guitar I mean, what if you, I was like, hey, also I brought a guy. I brought a music guy.

You play guitar? Not guitar. Piano? Piano. Enough to perform? Yeah. Dude, that'd be awesome. I could get Zach to come play guitar.

Now it's getting expensive. Yeah, that's my bad. No, yeah, is Zach gonna play guitar? Yeah. Is this for Anna, she can come? She plays guitar? It'd be fun just sister Anna, she can come. She plays guitar. It'd be fun. He's not a full-time student.

Yeah, you're just up there just like doing your thing. People are eating some chicken, some pickles. Chicklins, pickles. That'd be fun, dude. Yeah, I'm down. What, if you had a 30 minute set at a pickleball themed restaurant like what? What eight songs go on the set list? I honestly think I just look up most popular songs

Ever and then I choose the eight that I've heard of and like That are doable in this I think like alright, let's look at this. I don't know about Most popular like what do you think? Like sing along, most popular like bar songs or like? Sure, yeah, like. Most popular, most well known, I don't know why I'm not pleased enough with my initial Google search.

It's not gonna work. Most well known songs in the world. Of the past 40 years. All right, these are all Christmas songs. First option, Bing Crosby's White Christmas. Great. Hey, we'll get to that later this episode. I mean, this list is garbage.

What's Google? Google's give me the drink carrier of search results here. The twist. All right. I could Google better. Best songs to perform live. Music. One man band.

All right. The Conga by Gloria Estefan. Estefan. Shut up and dance. That'd be kind of fun. How'd that go on the piano? Don't stop believing. It sounds good.

People would like that if you can pull that off. It does that piano. It's like, yeah, it's a whole thing. Yeah. I'd be fun. This is a, for the most part, a bad list. Get the party started by Pink. I don't think that's, all right, all right.

One last cool search. It'd be fun to sing some songs they wouldn't expect, just like a guy, like I'm singing like Adele or something. Oh, that'd be awesome. That'd be pretty funny. That's the route you go. Yeah, like kind of misdirect them a little bit. Like I start out singing,

what's like the most basic song you'd think that- Wagon Wheel. Sure. Maybe not with a piano. Hey, I get it though. Sweet Caroline, something like that. Yeah, I'm singing that and then I go straight into Rolling in the Deep. Yeah.

Or even just like a deep cut from Adele, just like a really slow turning tables from Adele. Yeah. Best songs to perform live music with a piano. This says, baby got back. Google's on one today, something's up. Friends in Little Places, that's a good starter song. I'm starting to use Google less and less

now that I got Chad GPT. Yeah. It just works better. You ever duck duck go? No. Me neither. Too political. Shouldn't have brought it up.

All right, this is a fun idea. Yeah. Let it be by the Beatles. Oh, that's great. That'd be good. One of Rachel's favorite songs. It's very pretty. Imagine there's no heaven.

Can you stay alive with a piano? That's also one of Rachel's favorite songs by the Bee Gees. Maybe. Like the ah, ah, ah, ah, staying alive. Could try. Could you do a loop pedal with a piano? Like, could you turn the keyboard to a bass, do a little bass riff, then loop it?

That'd be fun to figure out. I don't know if I have anything that I could do that with. That seems a bit much for the Chicken and Pickle opener. It might one up me a bit and like, wow, that was a keep going. No, I could actually, I have to stop for this comedian. This guy's just gonna talk. It's gonna be pretty just static

for the next 30 minutes. That's variety. Yeah. Also, you're not allowed to be loud anymore because he's doing comedy, so that sucks. That would be so fun. So. Quiet down. That would be so fun to get some kind of loop system. I make a drum track live.

I'm like, that'd be super fun. That gets to the point where, yeah, I can't go after you. I have to go before you. Or I have to just do it separately because that would be a show. That'd be so fun. All right, this really turned into something. Defying gravity is a suggestion for wicked. Oh yeah, you gotta.

Something has changed within me. Yeah, I love your, I forget which Zoom call it was, but yeah, just your family just screaming it at all times. Oh man, I can't wait to listen back and see. I couldn't tell exactly how loud it would show up. Yeah, that's fun. Probably because you were in headphones, but still. It's true.

Anyway, so Good idea bad idea sounds like good idea good idea great dare. I say great idea couldn't be a great idea Only great if I come yeah, that's it's attached to you Okay, we're gonna play a little game of underrated overrated after We we get Brad on the podcast his family's still sick, so we're gonna do a little Christmas songs, schmores with him. So that's happening now. Two freshly cracked eggs, any way you like them. Three strips of naturally smoked bacon and a side of toast.

Brad's back! Hey! Yeah! Oh, hey! Oh! Hey! Brad's back to do some schmores. The schmores of Christmas songs.

I went through our notes. I think we did Christmas movies before. And I think we did one of those like five and 10 things where you made me say Christmas songs. And I sucked at it. Oh man, that was like one of the first episodes we did was that. And I remember you having maybe one the whole time. Yeah, you asked me in June. I wasn't ready. All right, so Jake, you said I have the first pick just

in case we had some technical difficulties there. Yes, Brad needs to choose first. Gosh, I really don't know how to start this thing. Because part of it's like I want to be strategic and start with something that you guys also want to pick just in case it doesn't get back to me. But at the same time, I'm just going to go with my gut instinct. It is, it pumps

me up about as much as anything in the world. It's the song by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It's the song that everyone knows by Trans-Siberian Orchestra that no one knows the name of. It's Christmas Eve, Sarah Yevo. Christmas Eve. Yeah. Oh, we went to Deanna Rose, Bo and I and Rosie last night and watched the light show to Christmas Eve Sarajevo and it's just it starts out with just God rest you, Mary gentlemen on the cello and then just yeah it's so good so I love that song I can't believe you picked it first though I like I said I have a lot of songs that I love that I don't think you guys love as much as I do. I think that's- I needed Jake's reaction there. I needed it. I think that's a great pick and also

kind of a hack because that has multiple like, you know, Christmas songs in it. Carol of the Bells is in there. And God Rest Ye- yeah, that's a good pick. I meant to say this at the beginning, but I've also written down four of the worst Christmas songs that I could think of that I can't stand. And if any of you picks one of those that are on that list, you automatically lose Schmores just in my own personal opinion. So I'll reveal those afterwards. What about I have six.

I heard you did this. I have six on my list. Do I need that you hate them? Yeah. Or do it? Can I keep all six? You can keep all six. Okay. I won't say anything until the end though. You don't say anything either. Okay. All right. My favorite Christmas song,

I'm going to go with Santa Claus is Coming to Town by the Jackson 5 specifically. Good one. Nice. Jackson 5 has a lot of good ones. To quote that one big guy in the Longest Yard remake, I love little Michael. Who doesn't love little Michael? That's right. Everyone.

That's a good pick, Jake. I really like the Bruce Springsteen version too though, which is like the same kind of cadence, I think. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. You don't get that high pitched little Mike though. No, you do not. You can't. Can't imitate it. That's good. Okay. I'm going to say for my first pick, oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel. I think it's not not it's nothing too hype. I just think it's like I don't know just rich and like, you know, just like meaning and like depth or whatever. It's also just like a really beautiful song. I feel like some some of the old hymns it's like

they're really good words. But like, I don't know if the melody is that pretty. I think it's just like also like really, really pretty song. Do you have a favorite version of it? Really pretty song. Do you have a favorite version of it? Not sure it's a tonics probably I don't I don't I Don't listen to a lot. I don't like go on Spotify to listen to Christmas music very much I just like, you know, maybe sing hymns in church slash hear stuff on like in like stores and stuff I don't do I don't do a lot of just Christmas listening on my own. But, and then I'm gonna say my second pick, I'm gonna go Carol of the Bells.

Yeah, I think it's, yeah, it's so good. Had it on my list. Yeah, I almost picked that one first, cause especially the one, we were just, let's do it last night, Bo and I were, he loves the one that has the Home Alone, like from Home Alone, because it's got Kevin and the bad guys in it, and he thinks that's so cool,

even though he's never seen the movie. Man, it's so perfect, it's wonderful. All right, next up, I'm gonna go with, I don't care who's singing it, whether it's Brad or Nsync, I'm gonna go Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Nice. It's good. 100%, I think, yes, so good.

I think that since they say Merry Christmas, they're allowed to say Happy Holidays. I think that's totally fine. Yeah. Yes, good point. Right? Yep, I think as far as upbeat Christmas songs go, like people who've tried to make poppy Christmas music,

I think it's one of one. I do have another one that's pretty, pretty poppy. I also think that might be on Jake's list. It's like you're playing Minesweeper. It's like, all right. This could be on either of my lists. Yeah, 100%. All right. My next one, I'm also going to go with a tried and true hymn. My favorite hymn for the Christmas season is, Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Take that, Emmanuel. Yeah. I don't have like a specific like, oh I have to listen to this version or else it's not good, but I really like,

I think Hillsong does like a little tag like, oh come all ye faithful. You know that version? I don't think so. Come, I think it's even called like, Come Let Us Adore Him or something like that. Or Austin Stone Christmas album is really good. Austin Stone's the name of a church in Austin. And then. That's a good song.

Thank you. And then my third pick is one that will bring warmth to anyone that hears it. It's Bing Crosby singing white Christmas Yes, yes, I don't know if I was gonna pick it but it was on my list. I do like that song It's so good My family my parents especially love watching white Christmas every single year and so it's really like nostalgic for me Was it that version the one in Home Alone? No, actually the butter butter that's like no that's like a more upbeat I think it's the drifter or something like that. I've still never seen White Christmas I want

to though it's on my on my list. I wonder I mean old movies in general just seem hard to watch for the first time. Yeah I think that's very valid. I would not choose to watch It's a Wonderful Life had I not seen it before and know how good it is. Like yeah just old, they're hard to get into I feel like. It took a worldwide pandemic for me to watch White Christmas the first time. And? You might have to wait a little bit. Liked it. Had a little fire going. It was nice. Okay. Cool. All right.

My next one. I think this has also been a jingle that we've done before. I'm going to go run Rudolph run. Very good. Love that song. That's a good one. It's just fun. Yeah, it seems like just for its time. Very, very upbeat, very fun for how, you know, not new the song is. I love me some Chuck Berry. The guitar. Yeah. So good. And Home Alone. So, you know, also good. Okay, I'm trying to think. I'm realizing I don't have that many like upbeat ones besides my last pick okay I'm gonna go actually no this one is upbeat and I like it a lot 12 days of Christmas okay I like Brad I'm right it down brother that's not it was not my it wasn't on my no list but but it's not either list. Okay. For me.

Alright. I think I'm looking at my list, I could have picked a slightly better one. But I have to lock in my last one, so I'm not gonna... Sure, 12 Days of Christmas. I think it's good. I stand by it, kind of. No, it's fine. I think it's just... It's fun for a while, and then by the end of it, it's like, alright, we get it. Yeah. I can't argue with that. I can't. People are gonna come to Timon's aid and be loving for Timon. It's fine.

I think... Yeah, I said before we started recording, I was like, I'm realizing that there's not a ton of Christmas songs that I love. And I think, yeah. Like, I think that shows that one that I picked, I think is just like pretty good. Yeah, I do have like a fondness for 12 days of Christmas because my church growing up, we'd always do like a potluck, Christmas potluck, at like Sunday night during December,

and then afterward do a hymn sing. And that was like, one of the traditions was like 12 days of Christmas. And some people were intentionally in the fifth row to do five golden rings because they had to bring it and they brought it. So it was fun to do live. I don't really want to listen to it over and over again. There's this version that's like, I don't know who it's by this like acapella

guys group. No, no, it's the other one. The one that does like the, I'm kidding. But yeah, I like that. I was introduced to that like a green leaf Christmas dance recital. Um, and I like that version. It's like a medley kind of thing. Kind of medley kind of like comedic. I think it's pretty good. Um, my last pick I'm gonna go with drummer boy by Justin Bieber Jake I was gonna save it for the end oh that was you you liked it no No. Oh. Timon, both of your last picks were on my do not pick list. Back to back. I figure drummer boy might be but I wasn't expecting 12 days. Oh, man. I can't believe you go you go him him and then a Christmas song with rap in it.

Justin Bieber rapping and then Busta Rhymes rapping. I love it mostly ironically but that doesn't make me love it any less. I wonder how many times like I'm surprised it wasn't in my Spotify rap. Really? No and I don't listen to it that much. It's just on my general playlist. I don't have a Christmas playlist. It's just in my... Oh, it's bad. It's funny. I don't think it's supposed to be funny. I don't know. I love that song. I don't even think I'm familiar enough to know how... I mean, I know Little Drummer Boy, but I don't know

Justin Bieber's version. It's unbelievably... And I love Bieber. I like Bieber's... I was gonna say, Jason is a fanatic of Bieber. I love his voice singing, but him rapping in that song is like pretty bad. And then Busta Rhymes comes in,

it's like, you think that's bad? Listen to this. No, I love Busta Rhymes first. Can you give us a little bit? I know that's like on the spot. I'm looking up the lyrics now. I'm not gonna do it, but. No, I want time.

Time sounds like he knows this song. And I think you could do a good Busta Rhymes in that sweater. Okay. Oh, also, one, I remember my beef with this song. In the Christmas song, in Little Drummer Boy, Busta Rhymes is taking creative liberties, like saying, happy, uh, Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, and happy Hanukkah. In the Christmas song. Yeah.

That's right before the key change. It introduces the merry nodded. Just to be we're singing good, the rest bad. I can't like, I can't really disagree with you. I think it's bad in the best possible way. I love the song still, even though it's cheesy. It's not, it doesn't sound like Christmas whatsoever but I just I love the song though I do think that a

lot of Christmas songs are cheesy so that's fair but can you can you please just like a couple lines of Bust a Rime everyone wants it Tywin okay get in character, though. Sing beforehand if you need to. Okay. Give us a little context where we're going. Like, I, I have no gifts to bring, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam. And like, Buster Rhymes is like improvising random ad libs right now.

That's fit to give our king, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam. Yeah, JB! Ra-pa-pam-pam. Yeah! Ra-a-pam-pam rapa-pam-pam rapa-pam-pam yo at the table with the family having dinner blackberry on a hip and then they gave a little flicker then i took a little to see before it activated syringe came to realize my homie BB hit me on the twitter

then i hit him back, wait hold on then i hit him back to spite i had some food about my finger i can't oh my god then i hit him back to spite i had some food about my fingers sipping eggnog with a little sprinkle of vanilla even though It's kind of cold pulling out a chin chiller B. But hit me back and said let's make a hot up Make it hot up in the winter. I said cool, you know, I'm a deliver man Let's collaborate and make the holiday a little bigger before we

Before we work I gotta get this off see the other family members and drop gifts often and head to the studio cuz ain't nothing Stopping now, you know how we about to turn it up and really get it popping now people never written all I Twitter All the Twitter followers Merry Christmas Kwanzaa happy Hanukkah Well done, dude, and then the beautiful key change after that great great Totally redeems itself Wow Okay, yeah, the lyrics are so bad. I love it. I don't know he puts chinchilla in there Yeah, let me read that line for you one more time. I don't get it um it said So Bieber hit me up on Twitter, then I hit him back despite

I had some food up on my finger sipping eggnog with a little sprinkle of vanilla Even though it's kind of cold pulling out a chinchilla even though it's kind of cold pulling out a chinchilla. And Timon's like, top four, easy. Yeah. Well there's a key change afterwards. Yeah, that's right. You don't know them a lot. You can't forget the key change.

Oh my gosh. And then happy Hanukkah, of course. Yeah, good for you Timon. I didn't peg you for a Kwanzaa guy. If people vote most inclusive pick. Yep. Timon's got it wrapped up. Good job, Tim.

That was great. That was great. That was awesome. I did not expect it to be, I mean, of course, Buster Rhymes in hindsight, wraps really fast, but I did not think you were gonna rap like that. I didn't know. Yeah, you did a good job. No, I missed half the words.

I can't rap like him. I don't wanna pretend that was good. I don't know, it was was good. I don't know. It was very good. I loved it. Tymon can rap? That was awesome. I'm glad it wasn't.

I'm glad you picked it. Everyone would have thought it would have been me, including myself. Yeah. Well, I knew you didn't like it and I picked it despite that because I like it. I wish he just sang it normally. I love his voice. And I think it's funny. I, yeah. I wish he'd just sang it normally. I love his voice. And I think it's funny, yeah, whatever. We've exhausted enough.

I like this song. I stand by it. I don't necessarily stand by 12 Days of Christmas super strongly, but I stand by Drummer Boy over that for sure. Good for you. Good for you. All right, my last pick.

This is a song Rachel actually asked me recently. She's like, what are some of your favorite Christmas songs, which is a great preview for Schmores. And I said, I think the song that I loved as a kid the most was rocking around the Christmas tree. That's my pick. Good one. Just a classic.

Great. Brenda Lee version, of course. Have we talked about how she was like 18 when she sang that song? I think you've told me that before. I've yeah I've seen that on the internet just like she's like she was just young sounds like a 78 year old woman. Yeah. In my head she's so old and then she's still alive today and it's like that's not allowed.

You're not allowed to be that. Yeah that's so weird. That's kind of like how like when you guys think Pablo Picasso was around? Well, I'll tell ya, he died like 50 years ago. Whoa. Yeah, it feels like he was like, it was like Da Vinci, Leonardo, Galileo, Jesus.

Right. Yeah, Picasso was right around that time. Picasso before or after Jesus, I don't know. Young Jesus. Young Picasso. Young Pablo. Yeah. Can Picasso get the flu? I don't know. Young Jesus. Young Pablo. Yeah. Can Picasso get the flu? Oh man. Good answer, Jake. That's another Home Alone pick. That's the song he does whenever he's like faking the party. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's classic.

All right. My last pick is joy to the world. I love joy to the world. Yeah, so many different great versions. My most recent favorite also on the Austin Stone version is really great, but the Phil Wickham version that I have heard recently is really good. Just because Phil's my guy, but joy the world is so sweet and so triumphant. It's joy the world. So a lot, a lot of picks on there. There's no way that's on Jake's No-No list, so I think I survived that skate. Good job. Yeah. Good job.

Good picks. Good picks. Hey, guys. Let's play a little word association game. I say a word, you say the next word that comes to mind, okay? Tooth. Nail. Nail. Try again. Tooth. Paste. Paste. Tooth. Brush. En Brush. Tooth. Tooth. Tooth, tooth. Toothpick was the answer.

I've been watching, have you heard of Detroiters on Netflix? Only from my brother-in-law Sam who said Jake would really love that show. Dude, I have been obsessed with it. I promise he's going to come back.

I actually posted it to my close friend's story, but he makes a cheesy joke like that and it is like, we should call a cell phone. He's like, call a cell phone. Where are you going to call it? He's like cell phone. He's like call a cell phone. What are you gonna call it? He's like dude. He's like what he's like you have to do stand-up You think he's gonna say you have to quit you have to stop you have to do stand-up I will I promise so it reminded me of that.

It's a massive value. American meat delivered. GoodRangers.com, GRKC. All right, honorable mentions or no-no list? Honorable mentions to see if any of them are on your no-no list. Okay. All right. All right. I'm going to start with the one that I think is most likely to be on your no-no list. Okay. All right. All right.

I'm going to start with the one that I think is most likely to be on your no-no list. Okay. And it is Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You. It is not on my list. Okay. Very good. I don't hate it, but I don't like love it. I think it's like a good song.

It just gets played a ton. Yes. I love it. It could have been on my list. Really? Yeah, I do. I love it. I could have been on my list. Really? Yeah, I think it's huh. I don't I don't like it too much. But I have nothing against it. So yeah, that's fair. Yeah. I think what happened is when social media hit, it got crazy overplayed. And so I think people have stronger opinions about it now in a negative than they used

to. I've liked it forever. So that's all. So let's see. Other one. Let it snow. Let it snow. That's a good one. I, yeah. I wish that was on my list. I can't think of any. Yeah. Love Frosty the snowman. Sure. Jingle bell rock. Another guitar. Yeah. Another one that Catherine says is not Christmas, but like not exclusively Christmas, but the Linus and Lucy Yeah, that just that just is like peanuts to me yeah, I know it's on it's on the Christmas album that I had of Charlie Brown So therefore yeah, it's like that's the only time I listen to it if so back down Yeah Oh Holy Night So therefore yeah, it's like that's the only time I listen to it. If so back down Yeah Oh Holy Night That's a good one. Angels we have heard on high

It's the most wonderful time of the year by Andy Williams and Sleigh Ride Listening to all these most of these are better than 12 days of Christmas Yeah, and then another one might have on his no-no list is Christmas Shoes. No, that's on my yes-yes list. I almost picked it. Dude, I heard a... Do you know who Shama is?

I don't even know his last name. Yeah, Shama Mrema. I saw that video. Did you see the remix? I said it to Gunner immediately. It's awesome. So, he did a remix of Christmas Shoes. So, those are my nice lists. It's awesome. So he did a remix of Christmas Shoes. So those are on my,

those are my good, my nice lists. Ooh, nice. Yeah. Timon. The only one that I hadn't like, hasn't been mentioned Silent Night. I like probably, yeah, I wish that was on my list. Yeah, that's sweet. I love Silent Night. It's good. Do you guys do a candle service at church with Silent Night? No, but like every year we do like a Christmas program with all the Sunday school kids Sweet I love silent night. It's good. You guys do a candle candle service at church with tonight No, but like every year we do like a Christmas program all the Sunday school kids And then we all like seeing it just like as a congregation and it's great cool. Yeah, it's so good That was attrition to my church growing up was always candle lit like last song turn off all the lights only the candles up in The air silent night. Oh Good time. That's good

I've got a few left in my honorable mentions. All of them have mainly been mentioned, but I got a few pop songs that I didn't know if I should say. But Ariana Grande, Wicked, Ozempic Queen, Santa Tell Me. That one's a fun song. Santa Tell Me. I don't think I've heard it. Bum ba dum bum ba.

Yeah, that is fun. It's a fun song. It's not Mount Rushmore. It's an honorable mention though. I don't think I heard it. Yeah, that is fun. It's a fun song. It's not Mount Rushmore. It's an honorable mention though. I think it's nice. Yeah. Yep. Similar to that.

Last Christmas by Wham. Oh, not on my no-nos, but I don't love it. Yeah, because of how gay. I mean, it's not not because of that. I don't know. Not a Wham guy. Okay. More of a bam. Thank you, ma'am.

Another kind of pop song. Taylor Swift has a Christmas song. Not many people know about it, but it's called Christmas Tree Farm. And it's a nice song. Okay. It's actually kind of pretty. I think I've heard it. Yeah.

I don't remember it, but I think I've heard it. Yeah. I like it. And then yeah, I had Christmas shoes on there and White Christmas, Carole the Bells. Yeah. All right. My no-no list, my naughty list, I had Little Drummer Boy by Justin Bieber, Buster Rhymes, The Twelve Days of Christmas, because like Brett said, so repetitive, just over and over and over. My other two, not to get racist, but Felice Navidad. That song sucks. Agreed. 100%. Dude, it was on.

Is your arm up? I can only see. Yes, dude, yes. Yes, dude. Yes. Oh, I love that song. It was on somewhere I was recently and it repeats way too many times at the end

and it's not good. Yep, and I can't understand it. And then my last one just figured, I wanna be on the right side of history on this one, baby it's cold outside. Oh, okay. Just better to not have it. Safe pick.

Yep, yep, yep. All right, my no-no list had Feliz Navidad, but then five other ones. Blue Christmas by Elvis have never liked. my dad's not gonna like to hear that I'm sorry Steve. Just remember that was not in my pics So don't hold that against me if you think my pics are the four best, but yeah never It's not the Elvis part. It's the part in the background. Oh Yeah, Stop with that.

Don't like that one. Really, really. My least favorite Christmas song by far is I believe it's, I don't know, Earth to Kids or something. I don't know. But Santa Baby is one of the only ones I could think of for a bad list. Oh, just everything about it. Selfish, One of the only ones I could think of for a bad list. Oh, just everything about it's selfish. Kind of S-E-X-ualizes Santa a little bit. How does this song go? She just tried to seduce Santa, Santa baby. Oh yeah.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Just everything about it, just get it out of here. Just don't ever want to listen to it, ever. Never. I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Those two, Santa Baby and hippopotamus,

only ones I could think of that I hate. Yeah, I don't have anything else to say about it. Yeah. I don't really know if I hate this one, but all I want for Christmas is my tooth front teeth. Another one, I'm just, get it out. I think I'll be fine with like, kids listening to it and stuff,

but I'm not playing it by myself. Yeah, let's keep the Christ at Christmas and let's keep the teeth out. Yeah, let's keep the Christ at Christmas, yeah. And then another one that's just, I don't want my kids to get confused. And now that I'm a dad, I saw mama kissing Santa Claus. Yeah, let's just avoid that.

Kids don't understand that. They're just like, well, let's just avoid that. Kids don't understand that. They're just like, what? That's weird, kinda. So anyway, and Jackson 5 sang it, and you saw what happened to Michael, so, ipso facto, maybe he didn't sing that. Be careful. Anyway, I thought Santa Baby,

I could see you choosing Blue Christmas, Jake, and I was like, that's the one that I think we're gonna differ on but no I don't think it's an amazing song, but I'm pretty sure I just heard my dad recently say it's the only Elvis Christmas song that he does like Christmas. See I don't know with repertoire Steve so No, you think that's bad. It gets way worse Anyway, so that's been Schmores Fun that's been Schmores. Fun.

That's been Schmores. This has been really fun. I'm glad we got to hear Timon rap Buster Rhymes. But I'm also glad that we don't record the podcast like this. Amen. Yeah. Heard. Yeah, I agree. Heard. No one can move away. Yep. Great.

Fun fact, Jared Myers, they he did move away to L. Great. Fun fact, Jaren Myers, he did move away to LA and they come back and record six at a time or something like that. Yeah. So I guess we could do that time and if you really want to move, man. Yeah, I think that I prefer that. Okay. Let's do that. We'll do that.

They're doing a match with PND Beauty again I do it like you do it like you did the first time Do it like you did the first time. Okay, but I just want you to know it's going to be completely fake and disingenuine, even though it's the same way. All right? I'm mad. All right, ready?

Go ahead. Just a second. Guys, we are sponsored by one of my favorite sponsors in the world right now, HWI, Healing Waters International. Today and today only, except for the rest of December, they are doing a match campaign with PMD Beauty. We're trying to raise $10,000 by the end of December to help eradicate the issue of clean water in... the issue's not clean water. I'm about to lose it again, Jay. the issue of clean water in the issues not clean water. I'm about to lose it again, Jay. Take a look.

There's too much clean water. Get it out of here. Now guys, Brad's joking. He's not mad. He's not sarcastically promoting healing waters. I don't think then again, the clean water thing has got me kind of wondering. No PMD, which is wonderful company

partnering with Healing Waters, they are doing a limited time match where they're going to double the impact that all of us are making with Healing Waters. So if you want to donate to Healing Waters to provide safe water, clean water, first world solutions to third world problems, you could do that. And PMT is going to match it up to $10,000. So only for this month, only for December. So just ask that you would think about it and know that it's all going to a great place and it's being matched by another great company. Yes. So once again, the website is give.healingwaters.org slash PMD match. And you will be entered into a giveaway for a $400 beauty kit as well as a 50% off PMD

order. So, once again, PMDmatch. Give.healingwaters.org slash PMDmatch to donate to a wonderful cause. $46. If you want to do $46, that would provide safe water for two people directly to their household taps for an entire day. And no seed oils. No seed... Jake, oh, that's true entire day. And no seed oils. No.

Oh, that's true though. There's no seed. I'm seriously though. Why didn't we, why did we stop it then? Yeah, it could have just kept going. I was telling the truth. You're mad for no reason. Yeah, I'm not mad. So, all right guys.

Uh, once again, gif.healingwater.org slash PMD match. He's out. All right, good stuff, good wrapping. Tymon. Thank you. That was a pledge. Both got to perform this episode. All right, let's do, yeah, Brian and I

have done this game before, but I don't think we got you super involved. So this is just, I'm gonna give you something and you just tell me overrated, underrated. Great. Okay, and just feel free to elaborate, give me your thoughts on pumpkin pie overrated, underrated. Great. Okay, and just feel free to elaborate, give me your thoughts on pumpkin pie. Ooh, overrated.

Yeah. I gotta say, and I think more and more people I've noticed are coming to this realization. That it's never been that good. Yeah, a pumpkin pie without whipped cream or like without Cool Whip is kinda sad. Yeah. But with whipped cream, it's great.

Yeah, it's true. Cool Whip. I will always choose apple pie over it though. Yeah, or a whipped cream. It's great. Yeah, it's true cool whip. I will always choose apple pie over it though Yeah, whatever rhubarb. I've had my grandma makes a good one. Okay. Yeah Yeah, I think it's overrated AI Pretty broad. Ooh, I don't know. I think it's just cuz I see so many different takes. All right. All right Let me give you more specific the fear of AI so many different takes. All right, all right, let me give you more specific.

The fear of AI. Honestly, underrated. You think so? I think so. Not to get all conspiracy sounding. But I do feel like we should be a little more nervous than we are maybe. Just my take.

Most people who know things about things say we should be fearful of it, right? Which is kind of- Bill Gates, Elon Musk, I mean those guys- Reason to be a little concerned. Say it's a problem. Yeah. I think I just like, Elon Musk, I mean those guys. Reason to be a little concerned. Say it's a problem. Yeah. I think I just like, I see, oh six months ago

it was not nearly as good. So I was like, oh well that's kind of a scary sign. Yeah. Which at this point it's like great, oh I like that it's getting better. But it's like once it gets too good, yeah just like faking stuff kind of scares me. Yeah fake video is probably the most problematic

aspect of it. That's gonna be a problem. Cause there's certain aspects of like, as a language model, like the jingle we did in the Monday episode, like, chatgp is so great. It could do things so quickly. I find more and more ways every week to help me with my jobs.

But there's also like, everyone's trying to come up with like their AI tool, like, you know, Colin and Samir, they have a sponsor, Spotter Studio. It's like this AI driven like YouTube tool. And I was like using that, hoping it was gonna like, it's like the thumbnails they're creating are trash, the titles they give me are not helpful. It's like, man, this is not that hard

and AI still got a way to go, a ways to go. Come on, Colin Smear. Yeah, I don't know. All right, next don't know. All right, next. Marvel movies. Overrated. Well, sorry, that's a little aggressive. Hey, time and easy. I think five years ago, overrated.

Now maybe aptly. Can I say aptly? You can say aptly. Because I think I never saw, like five years ago, I was like, I need to be watching these Marvel movies. Everyone loves them and then now People I think there's just like Marvel's burnt out from what I've heard anyway And then a lot of people are hating on him more now really realizing Okay, these movies are kind of bad and there's cranking them out so quickly

Yeah, you think public opinion is changing on my think so I think yeah, if you asked me five years ago You think public opinion's changing on Marvel movies. I think so. So I think, yeah, if you asked me five years ago, overrated. Now? But now I think people understand. Abt. Yeah.

All right. Celebrating half birthdays. I don't see it much in my life. Okay. So it's underrated. Okay, people need to do it more. It takes a lot of effort to age a half year. Okay.

So. Crocs. Let's do it more. Crocs? Oh, good question. I think crocs, maybe underrated. I think they're just like a good... Then again, maybe it's just not in my circle as much,

but I think they're great for just like a... You have to slip something on, they'll work. I wouldn't, I would never wear Crocs. I would never wear Crocs to like anything besides like I have to go outside right now. I have to carry in groceries. I have to find something. Oh, they seem great for groceries. I'll try to slide into them. Like my bathroom floor is cold. Yeah. I could put Crocs on. Then again, for slippers or something, for around the house. Yeah, slippers are great. I think they're overrated.

Do people like Crocs? I'm all over the place. Do people, I just don't know what the actual opinion is typically. It's, I would love to see a documentary on Crocs or even just like how, like certain brands, they have a long enough lifespan where their customer base changes.

Like someone older than me would do a better job of this, but I think Champion, the clothing brand started off as a certain kind of brand. Then they became a Walmart brand. And then last few years, they became like a nicer brand again, if I'm thinking of it correctly. You know, just like certain companies can shift like that. So Crocs, I think started off as like, wow,

that's like red neck, red neck boots and shoes. I think they are making like, Crocs more as fashion statements now. Gen Z is like- Jacob Collier has a signature Croc. Yes, I mean, you've got like the, what are they called? Chicklets, inlets?

Yeah, something that goes in. Chocolates, crocklets. Oh, they should do something called milk crocklet. Oh, that's good. Milk crocklet, dark crocklet. Nobody steal it. Almond crocklet. Beastables crocklet. Oh, that's good. Milk croclet, dark croclet. Nobody steal it. Almond croclet. Beastables croclet.

Yep. Feastable. Beastable. Okay, Disney Plus. I think it's, it's app, it's underrated. I hear people talk about Netflix. It doesn't get talked about much. It doesn't get talked about much.

I think people don't realize there's just so many, maybe just like Disney, people don't realize how good like animated Disney movies are. Not just old 2D ones, just like Pixar, all that stuff. 2D, like two dimensional. 2D, yes. Not like some adjective like 2D. 2D, just fruity 2D Disney animated movies.

I think people just like now people my age, all they wanna talk about is like these mature movies and all this stuff. Okay. It's like those are great, but also you gotta remember, Disney made just cause it's technically made for kids, doesn't mean it's not great for adults. So Disney Plus is underrated.

Okay, fun fact, Disney parent company, you know they own ESPN? Well, didn't know that. Kinda fun. Cool, they own everything. Yeah, look out. Oat milk. Never ever had it, I don't think.

But I'm gonna say it's overrated, because it seems like a, I don't know, But I'm gonna say it's overrated, because it seems like a, I don't know, I feel like it's a thing people do, people drink. So, that was a good take, huh? That was good. Yeah, I was like, maybe you have lattes, maybe you've had some oat milk accidentally or something.

I don't think so. No, you're young, keep doing the, yeah. Cow's milk is great. I want strong bones. That's a myth some are saying. Escape rooms. Oh, I can't really say, I've never done one. Wow, back to back, no milk, no escape room.

I really wanna, I've never done one. You gotta do one. I know, I know. I think. You gotta do one just so we can hear your thoughts on it. I hear great things and they seem like a great time. So I think I'm gonna say athlete rated okay I don't think they're underrated because I feel like they get a lot of hype

Yeah, but it seems like they deserve it from what I've seen I wouldn't want to be in the business of escape rooms But for what they are it's cool. Yeah, it's like hell. Yeah, you made a room really fun for me for an hour Yeah, just like an escape from reality. That seems like a fun. That's what it is escape from reality room. Yeah That's what it should be Escape from reality room? Yeah. That's what it should be. They lock you up there and a schizophrenic guy's talking to you. Wow, that was, whatever that was, it wasn't reality.

That guy's nuts. Dude, that reminds me another, my win of the week. I talked about this during one of the ad reads this episode, we've already recorded it with Brad, but I'm obsessed with that new show, Detroiters. And it's so funny to love a show so much that I'm watching by myself. Like no one else is with me.

It's just me and the TV and I'm laughing and loving and like rewinding it to watch again. It's a unique experience, but I talked about one scene already, but there's another one where he's like, the main character was like meeting a bunch of people like at dinner and like, oh, you're a Hank's son.

What's he up to? He's like, oh, he went insane. He lives in a nut house. And she's like, oh, well tell him Sherry from Chicago said hello. And he's like, that won't mean anything to him. Talking to him is like talking to Bugs Bunny. And so then she's like, well, tell him I said,

what's up doc? And he's like, thank you. That would actually mean a ton to him. Thank you so much. It's so, you're just not expecting like a joke during like that part of it. And why did I bring that up? Bugs Bunny escape room.

Dang it. Doesn't matter. There was some connection at the time. Either way. Yeah, I kind of want to see this show. Cause before we mentioned it, I've seen the clip where it's Yeah, I kind of want to see this show. I, because I, before we mentioned it, I've seen the clip where it's like, dude, you have to do standup.

That got me so good. That clip is so fun. It's such a good joke in 10 seconds. So anyway, yeah, there's about two or three things in episode where I like, I want to show Rachel this part of it, or like I rewind it just to see it myself for a second time. So it's refreshing.

Sweet. I like it. Because even like Parks and Rec, which Rachel and I are going through, I'm really enjoying, but I don't typically rewind it to go watch something. Do a couple more. Let's see.

Now I'm nervous that all these, I'm gonna say you've never done before. I haven't lived much life, I guess. I'm not going into that. Well, you're 18, that's see. Now I'm nervous that all these, I'm gonna say you've never done before. I haven't lived much life, I guess. I'm not going into that. Well, you're 18, that's fine. I mean, car. I'm nervous, thrift shopping? You ever done that?

I can drive there now. You ever been drifting? No, I have been drifting. Okay. Quite a bit. I think it's, I'm gonna say it's overrated. Okay. Because I think I hear a lot of people talk about like,

maybe I'm just bad at it, but in my experience it's overrated because people are like, I found my whole, I find all my outfits at thrift stores. I'm like, I find a bunch of ugly stuff at thrift stores. So I don't know what you're going to. Yeah, I just find old golf clubs. What are you guys wearing? I'm gonna say overrated.

Okay. But I do enjoy it somewhat. I think I have some bad experiences of my mom is stopping at like Savers or something and I just wanna get home. Yeah. When I'm like 11, nothing here interests me. Yeah, so boring.

It's just clothes that are ugly and the only like toys there are for like six year olds. Yeah, it's a misfit toy. And they're like broken. Yeah. The toys, it's a, the toy. And they're like broken. Yeah. The toy aisle at a thrift shop is a sad place. It is. That's like the scary spot in like Toy Story,

like the toys who aren't played with anymore. Go to a thrift shop. Yeah. We have a friend, I'm sure we've talked about in the podcast before, but our friend Peter Casey, this is what he's done, not as a full-time job, but he's made good money just reselling things from thrift stores for years and years.

That's what my brother does kind of. Oh really, yeah. More so. If you have a knack for it, that's great. He used to go from thrift stores for years and years and that's what my brother does kind of already yeah more so if you have a knack for it it's great he used to go to thrift stores more now he's more like he finds low like price shoes online but he would always like go thrift stores look for shoes look at you guys little entrepreneurs yeah a couple more traveling via train oh underrated I was gonna say I think you've you've done this you know I've done that it's underrated you I was to say I think you've you've done this. You know, I've done that It's underrated you can I will say the price is not like I'm gonna say by yourself

It's probably the most underrated. Okay. Oh really because you think it would be lame. Maybe because at that point it's like the cost isn't How do I phrase this if you if you take a road trip with like five people, you can like split gas money. Oh yeah, it's pretty cheap. If you're driving by yourself, you wouldn't split the money,

and you're paying not that much more for what you might pay for gas. I see, and you don't have to drive yourself. And you can get work done. Yeah. You can look out the window. You have no choice. This is fire me up. I think by yourself, ride a train.

Go do it at some point. Where have you trained before? It's typically just like Galesburg, Illinois is where the station is but like my cousins live near there and you leave from here. Yes, Casey Union Station. Yeah Dude, my flies been open bummer Luckily, I'm seated But the zipper was open That's fun. Yeah, I think like anyone out there who's never even like ridden on a train,

it's a great experience and it's not that expensive for it. Yeah, I can't, I try to think of like how much it even costs. I don't know. It's worth it. Preston Goes has a YouTube video of just like making friends and all these things on a train. It looks so fun. Yeah, it looks so fun. It's great. Okay, last one, working from home. Aptly rated. Apt. Yes, people realized it was probably underrated before COVID, now everyone does it.

I don't think it's overrated, cause it's great. But I think it's, people have recognized now that it's a great thing. Apt. Apt. Apt. Goodpt. Apt. Good stuff, that was great.

Yeah. Get to know you a little better, get to know your thoughts. And yeah, anything else on your mind to end this episode with? Oh. You wanna talk about Dax Flame a little more? Yeah.

It's just a random thing. He is changing a bit, right? That's true, maybe. I feel like his content is getting, it's less hard. It's harder for me to believe that this is not an act. That was a couple double negatives in there. I think I'm also coming to the realization it might be an act.

Yeah. Because it's like, maybe first of all, his like Instagram reels and stuff have gotten almost a little too over the top. Yeah. And like leaned into, it's like they, Maybe first of all, his Instagram reels and stuff have gotten almost a little too over the top and leaned into, it's like they're like, oh, this is working, let's do a little more, and people are realizing, oh, they're just kind of like.

And then also, the main thing that's making me think that it's maybe not is this YouTuber Joel Haver. He's done comedy skits and stuff, but he also makes these feature kind of feature-length movies and stuff on YouTube This one wasn't quite as long as like 45 minutes, but it's like a one-take thing But he has Dax flame acting in a lot of his things. Okay, and I'm like he's actually a Good enough actor that I'm like Maybe he's really but the thing is he's still awkward and I've only seen this one with tax flame

He's still like awkward and pretty much like his Instagram videos But he's just so convincing in the role that I'm like, maybe he's just a really great actor Who keeps up this pretense online still? I don't know I Unless I was like 99% sure it was him or at 94 Then it was not an act that it was yeah, yeah, that it was like how he is. Now I'm like maybe 50, 50. Yeah, more recently, just in the past couple of weeks, I'm like, I think unfortunately he might've played all of us

and this is an act all the time. And he had Brent Rivera in a recent one. That one was weird. That was weird. He gets Howie Mandel involved a lot, which is interesting. If you don't know who we're talking about, we've talked about it before,

but just look up Dax Flame on Instagram. He's just right on the line of like... On your own conclusion. Comment what you think. Yeah. Look him up and watch his videos. And if you want to watch, I watched, the film I watched was The Text. Actually, yeah, it was actually great.

Really? I don't think 100% clean. But yeah, just like, I don't know. Let me know in the comments. Because I'm curious what people think. Wow, he does have, he's an actor a lot. Okay, yeah, I've been noticing that same thing too. Yeah.

I wanted to try one last time, test the red meat thing, so I just got a Shake Shack burger, just one hamburger, nothing crazy, two hours go by. I'm like, dude, I don't feel anything yet. Two and a half hours go by, nothing crazy. Two hours go by. I'm like, dude, I don't feel anything yet. Two and a half hours go by felt it. So Dr. Ron's revenge strikes again. I'm afraid now I've confirmed it. I mean, pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, steak.

I've tried all different ones. Yeah, it just turns out a needle in your ear doesn't fix you. So back to chicken. I just wanted to confirm that for everyone. It's like now knowing it didn't work. I'm like, I'm not sure why I was so easily convinced it would, but I was so on board. I was like, great.

Yeah. I'm sure it'll work. Come on. What did I read online? Come on. 90 come doctor on 96% success rate. I don't know what that's about. Yeah.

No way. I'm in the 4%. No way. You're a way. No way. Your majority guy. Let's do just a comment of the week. Great. And we'll end with that.

I've got one from the glossary episode. We could go last Wednesday. Sophie Porter said, "'How fun would it be if this was someone's "'first ever episode?' "'And then Caitlin Wallace replied and said, "'It actually is my husband's first. And yes, it is fun.

I just can't believe, like, did you tell him to listen to this one or did he just stumble on it and tell you later, hey, listen to Ghost Runners today, finally, and you're like, the glossary episode. Anyway, yeah, just kind of hilarious that that happened. Appreciate you guys. I'm trying to find, I don't know if I can find it in time,

but there was a, someone, I just, okay, this is not gonna be that funny. I remember someone in the Facebook group posted something anonymously, or how do you say that? Anonymously? Anonymously. Thank you, I knew that kind of. And then Samuel Sen was like, is this Tyman's mom again?

Yes, that was funny. That was a great comment. Yeah. That was really funny. You gotta join the Facebook group. We have our own inside jokes. To understand. Just within the group. It's great.

Because someone posted anonymously two weeks ago about like, hey, I'm pregnant again. I just don't want my family to know, yada, yada, yada. Tymon comments, mom, bunch of likes, ah, ahs. And then yeah. After break ratio of the posts. It was pretty good. So now anyone, anytime someone posts anonymously.

Yeah. Everyone's like, Tyon's mom again? So, yeah. I love the Facebook group. It's great, dude. It's so great. It's great. Y'all gotta join it if you're listening.

Yeah, another episode with me and Timon. Hope you guys liked it. Let us know which chicken and pickle you wanna see us perform at and what songs you would like Taiman to play. Yeah. Before I go on. So, it was fun. Thanks for joining, dude. Cool.

See you guys next week. Brattle Way back. Bye.
