Timon on Wednesday's episode, you talked about, um, silver dollar city guy, uh, cave tour guy. Yes. And how he had done 6,000 tours. Uh huh. I was recently listening back to that episode, you know, like I do at times, you know, watching tape essentially of our, you know, seeing how we're doing and, uh, and I thought to myself, I should have made a joke right then about how he did 6,000 tours. Cause that's like what people that go to war say, like people that go overseas are like, yeah, I did three tours in Afghanistan. It's like, dang, I should have said 6,000 tours. This guy's only done three. And then it reminded me of the story that my cousin told from Christmas Eve at his church. My cousin, you know, 40 year old guy,

clean cut guy, whatever. This woman comes up to him after the Christmas Eve was over. And this woman goes, hey, were you in the service? And my cousin thought like, yeah, I was just in the Christmas Eve. Yeah, yes I was, yeah. And she goes, well, thank you so much. I thought you might be in the army because your haircut looks a lot like my grandson's, who

also is in the army. Well, thank you so much for your service. My cousin didn't know what to do. He's just like, it's an honor. Yes, absolutely. 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 it's the Ghost from the SpotCat So does this woman just go around every person with a decent haircut? She's like army or Navy and it is like the like it's not that much I guess his hair on top is a little bit shorter than mine But it's just like the classic like faded on the side kind of look. It's not like this like Very army looking haircut. That is funny though right after a Christmas service

We're in the service and he was like, yeah, I sure was. How are you doing? You want to connect? So. That's funny. I'm sure I've told the story before on the podcast, but we had an opener in Phoenix. This is a U-Haul vibes trip, I'm pretty sure.

Okay. When we were all down in Phoenix and anyway, the opener, you know, you're meeting him for the first time. He goes out there, he does five minutes. And most of it was about being in the army or something After the show we've got a doubleheader So we're just kind of hanging out for before the next one and Alan says something about like dude Was that true like what you're saying on stage? He's like, yeah. Yeah, actually I did serve back in the day

He goes wow. Well, thank you for your service He goes, you know, I actually hate it when people think before my service. Oh All right. Well, we're not gonna be friends that kind of ruined this whole thing. So screw me. Yeah. The chicken fingers are pretty good. I think you get copped some, some meal. Yeah.

So don't do the nachos. They just melt cheese on top of. Mozzarella sticks are just store-bought. You can just tell like they're just straight from, you know, the frozen food section. Ooh, speaking of haircuts, just got a text. Confirm your appointment at scissors and scotch. Yeah, tomorrow of haircuts, just got a text, confirm your appointment at Scissors and Scotch. Yeah, baby. Tomorrow.

Reply one to confirm. Don't mind if I do. What'd you reply? I hit one. One. Yep. I think it's probably, probably took five haircuts, but I finally found a girl that I like.

I was always just like next available stylist. Yeah. Finally found her. I'm going back to her for the first time. Tesha. Tesha. Perfect found her. I'm going back to her for the first time. Tesha. Tesha. Perfect haircut name. It's going down.

You're yelling. You're yelling, buzzer. There you go. I couldn't think of one either. You better fade. You better trim up the top. What do you say when you get your hair cut?

How do you describe it? It's pretty abstract. It's pretty conversational. Okay, okay. I can never remember what to do. The numbers, for some reason I can't remember them. I think it's because it's once every three months. But I say like, I think it's a three to four on the side.

Like it kind of fades a little bit. And on the top, this is just kind of how I wear it. So don't do anything crazy up top. Okay. And overall, just like make me, just take a look at me now and just like choose, like make me look attractive. I usually say something along those lines.

Don't do something that makes me look less attractive than I already look. That's good, yeah. Or just be like, imagine me two months ago and this same hair and just do that. Just shorten every version of this. Yeah, it's a pretty elongated explanation. Because do you go to your haircut with stuff in your hair,

like gel in your hair? Because that's the issue with me is they don't know how I wear it because I never have stuff in there. I just have freshly shampooed hair. Oh, I see. No, I like to take advantage of the shampoo they're about to give me. It's like the dentist.

Yeah, I like to eat on the way to the dentist. I have to be pretty gross when I go get my haircut. So they shampoo your hair. Oh, yeah. Nice. Tymon, you got shampoo in your hair for? For haircut? Yeah.

Never. No. I've only had it a few times and it was nice. But I like it. They do a good job. Is that too hot for you? Yeah, maybe a little bit. Okay.

Okay. We'll turn it down. Yeah. I'll tell you what I turned down every time there was the hot towel. Really? Way too hot. Suffocatingly hot. Because they put it over your whole face and they only uncover like your nostrils. Yeah.

I just don't really like that feeling. It's like a miniature version of being waterboarded. Yeah. Pretty close. Pretty close. I can breathe, but not well. All right, you got the MVP today that does come with waterboarding. How would you like it? We've got mint. I did three tours,

so no problem. I was in the service. 1030. Have you seen the videos of the like stylists that will just like they're like wetting down their clients hair and just like they gradually go on like they're in the face and they're like covering their nose and like spraying their entire face. Accidentally or no, no, no on purpose on like they're in the face and they're like covering their nose and like spraying their entire face. Accidentally or? No, no, no, on purpose, but they wait for the person to like say something and sometimes it takes so long.

They're like, I'm sure they just like slipped up or whatever. That's good, yep. Yeah, like how long will it take? Or they're just dousing the front of them. They're just asking them questions. So where are you from? Oh, I'm from California. Originally, I'm from California.

Oh, that's great. Well, so when are you getting it today, no, it's tomorrow. Okay Hey fun tomorrow's big ketchup day. Oh just as far as hamburger chicken nuggets. Yeah anything Yeah, we're recording this on Thursday, January 2nd. So today's Rachel's birthday. Happy birthday, Rachel Yesterday was January 1st, you know the new year Rachel New Year's Eve before that. So happy New Year's Eve, Rachel. Friday is like really like first day back. Let's get a lot of stuff done. Yeah. Pick up the house.

Let's do some laundry. Let's get a haircut. Yep. Send some emails. But I don't know what you did yesterday. Yesterday, I took like a full day off for the first time in a while. It was nice. Really? Yeah. Oh, really good to not work. What does a full day off mean? Like, what a while, it was nice. Really? Yeah. It felt really good to not work. What does a full day off mean?

Like what did that look like? Sleeping in? Yeah, slept in a lot, trying to get over the sickness, still not totally gone. I was venting to you outside. I don't know what medicine does. It doesn't make you feel better, I'll tell you that. It doesn't shorten your cold at all.

Sometimes it makes it feel like in my head, I'm like, did that make it worse? Did that like alert my body like, oh, something's going on here that we need to go to this area. Maverick's not going to work. It's just going to stuff up your nose even worse. I would say this cold more than any others. I've done exactly what you're supposed to do. Like I actually did a good job of it. Like I started taking medicine really before symptoms were even here. Cause it's like other people around me getting sick. I'm going to start now writing on the wall.

I actually rested a lot. I actually only drink water. Like I really did. Well, yeah, you had a good diet. Yeah. Slept well and yeah. And it doesn't matter. It does.

Nothing. None of it matters. Germs always win. Yeah. I, except for World War II terms USA allies. Yeah. And even, um, just like I tried the COVID trick of looking myself in the mirror, being like, Germs. USA. Allies. Yeah. Yeah. And even just like I tried the COVID trick of looking myself in the mirror, being like,

get over it. Yeah. Yeah. Immune system. So sure. We find a couple of days. Yeah. Yeah.

I just I hear you. I sometimes like I'll find the mucinex that's like the extra strength, which why why aren't they always just like the good ones? I think about that too. Like it's like this one's the one that if you really need like a big time boost, Dayquil severe cold and cough. I'm like, just give me it every time. Also, I have a, I have a theory that like you will sleep the best if you take Nyquil, but once you take Nyquil, you are admitting defeat

for a few more days, like in the daytime. Like I, I sleep really good, but then I wake up and my nose is way more stopped up than before the last few days It's been I have like a morning routine like just to get myself to a base level of like function I have to do so much to my nose really interesting, you know You just wake up and there's just there's so much going on right in here. Yeah, we got a We got a blow this we got a price not this one out. We gotta, might have to step outside. Do you kinda look forward to it? No.

I kinda get excited about, I wait until I'm in the shower. Oh, that's a good point, then you just let it fly. Yeah. Yep. It's kind of been changing colors a bit too. Ah, yeah, that's when you're sick. I got some Dayquil liquid with honey in it. Thought, hey, that might be, that might be kinda nice. I got some Dayquil liquid with honey in it.

Thought, hey, that might be kinda nice. It's one of the worst tastes I've ever experienced. So I might start eating healthier because if I can do what I just did with Dayquil the last four days, I can eat anything. It doesn't matter. My tongue is just reset. Okay. Anyway, I'm fine.

What would you change if you could eat healthier? Like what was eating healthier look like? Cause I feel like you're pretty, you're doing all right. I don't do that bad. All right. This is funny. You bring this up. So yesterday we're watching, we're watching parks and rec and it seems like, oh, we must

have, we go from one episode of the next. Like we must have skipped Henry's here by the way. Sorry. We haven't said that yet. He's talking. You say hi. Good man. Who does he look like? It's not. I think he had a rosier bow. Dude, you think it's someone else looks a lot like young Hattie, but then he's got a little bow in them too. Really good bow On ironically recently. He is so good at burping right after he takes his bottle good almost like within 15 seconds or less and These days on ironically I say good boy to him. Just like just like he does. Hey, good boy live now talking about burping good boy Doesn't want to talk that's fine. All right, go ahead Jake

Oh We must have skipped ahead a season because all said Chris Pratt is like skinny and he talks about it in there He's like what you do lose weight. He's like I lost 50 pounds in a month. Just stopped drinking beer Yeah, which beer were you drinking? Yeah, I know right a lot. Yeah, that is funny It's like because I think that's when he does Guardians of the Galaxy or some movie like that where he just gets in crazy good shape I tried googling it was either Guardians of Galaxy or zero dark 30 internet was a little split zero dark 30 I think was before okay. I think that was like before he was a big deal so I Think that has somebody to do it. I know either way

I got back from playing pickleball last night, and I was like all right Rachel I realized this is a little bit of, I realize it's January 1st, so I'm telling you this. So we're gonna, I'm gonna put a pin in this and we're gonna talk about it again in a week. But what do you think about just getting shredded this year? Dude. What if?

Like what if, I wanna do it together if we're gonna do it, but like we, I don't know, I guess hire someone and they monitor, like they tell us everything to eat. And then like we make it and like they create workout, like they do it all for us. In the same way that like an actor, I was like, I think I'm getting this

from the Chris Pratt thing. I don't know why else this would be in my head today. Like I know it's January 1st, it seems like a new year's resolution, but I think it's a Chris Pratt thing. I was like, what if we had someone like that? I don't know how expensive it would be, but like someone would like, get us,

essentially get us ready for a role. Yeah, yeah. The role of life. I mean, it'd probably be a lot of, eat a lot of protein and workout. Like that's the main answers. And cut out bad food. Eat a lot of chicken, eat a lot of steak, eat a lot of, yeah, protein.

That's kind of a fun noise, Henry. He doesn't want to talk. He's gun shy. He knows the microphone. No problem. Anyway, so go see, let me know what you think or if that job exists or what it would look like. But Rachel, I was like, you don't need to hear an answer now. We're gonna come back to this in a week. See if I still want to do it. Yeah. But her one thought was like, I don't know if I like want to get shredded. I was like, all right, forget I said shredded, but just like in really good shape. How about you get shredded and she just-

She gets ripped. Stout. Yeah. Yeah. Stout wife. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, she gets pregnant. We both get bigger.

Yeah. That's right. My biceps get bigger, your belly gets bigger. Your ute. Yeah, that's right. Dude. Yeah. So we'll see. But yeah.

Get a lifetime membership. We can go together. That'd be so fun. They have pickleball there. That would be fun. Yeah. Maybe we should. Come on.

I already have a membership though because of mood swings, golf. We've got a gym. Yeah, but do you go? Every now and then I'd run a mile there when I was already there. Yeah, but do you go as often as you would with me? No, no, I don't go that often. We could run there. It's like seven miles. We could run there.

And we could run back. We could run back. We'd be so shredded. Yesterday, I didn't run a mile for the first time in 366 days. How was that? Honestly, it was great. I played pickleball. So it's still, I don't know. They didn't feel like I did nothing today. Yeah.

Instead replaced it with 50 pushups, 50 sit ups. Okay. Thought I'd be more sore today. Not yet. No bra. I think it's two days. Oh, I think you heard that. Anybody?

I don't know. I've always heard that. I believe you. Like you're kind of sore the first day and then the second day it's like, Oh snap. Yeah. Okay. You got to stop yelling please just kidding um so okay so what's the so you can do 50 and 50 update us on the uh

i did fudge a little bit yesterday so i got back from pickleball and i had so much sinus pressure in my head um which makes both those things really easy to do. Yeah. And like, it wasn't really that painful unless you do anything other than be upright. Like, I even noticed it when I was picking up a ball playing pickleball. Like, man, that like hurt. I hate that. It reminds me of when I went skydiving and just all that pressure. It felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head. Yeah. Before we pulled the parachute. And that was sweet relief. Yeah.

Anyway, so I get down to start cranking out some pushups and I'm like, man, my shoulders feel fine. My chest feels fine. My head's gonna explode though. So I'm trying to do pushups with my head as upright as possible. Like staring at the ceiling. And Rachel was the one who convinced me.

She's like, stop doing that to yourself. Just, it's fine. Just do something else. I don't know. And so I was like, all right. So I did 50 pushups and 50 sit-ups, but. So is a normal day either 100, 100, 100 still? Or is it? Yeah, I think so.

Okay. Cool. The main goal, just be disciplined. Just do something every day. Yeah, totally. But yeah, mainly push-up sit-ups are a mile. I love it, dude. What are you up to? Dude, I am going to tell you something I never thought I would ever say out loud because I never thought I'd be this kind of person for either of these things. Last night went

to lifetime and my book melted in the sauna. Never thought I'd be a sauna guy. Never thought I'd be reading a book in a sauna. I was in there for a while because the book was good. Hardback? Nope. Kindle? Yeah. What if a paperback and like the, uh, the, the binding on it, like the glue like came undone. And so all of a sudden, like a page or two just kind of started like falling out. I was like, Oh no, Oh no. And luckily I was in there by myself or it would have been way more embarrassing.

But uh, yeah, just, I think I was in there for probably like 25 minutes and it was like, Oh snap. Wow. We are in trouble here. Book so good. It'll melt your glue off. You'll forget. You'll forget how hot it is. Were you doing three heats or just, uh, the book count as one of the heats? No, I wasn't doing three heats. I did, I did the sauna and then I worked out. Um, and then I, I guess I did two heats and then I went out. And then I guess I did two heats. And then I went and did the hot tub. The hot tub.

No steam. No steam. I'm kind of indifferent on the steam. I'll do it if somebody else like, let's steam. But like steam is miserable. It's fine. It's fine if you're not doing all three of them. If it's like, hey, I'm hot.

Let's go steam. That's no fun. I mean, you got to do the steam. I will say, Jake, to, yeah, maybe no fun. Time and you got to do the steam. I will say, Jake, maybe we should get a guest pass going to the lifetime today. Cause the steam is great when you have issues with your nose.

Oh, that's not a bad idea. Cause it's menthol, like it's just like a humidifier. It's like a large humidifier. It's like you're using that right now in your room probably. Oh yeah, crank it. Yeah. And maybe that's the goal is anytime you have to do something hard like that sauna,

you know, you're like, well, it's for my sinuses. 100%. You know, you like you trick your own self in a while you're doing it. Well, I think that is part of it is like it is there is health benefits to it. There's like studies that say like sauna and steam is good for you. Well, that's nice. So anyway, yeah, book melted in the old song. So like, I mean, it's fine. I'm still reading it and stuff, but like, yeah, book melted in the old song. So I mean, it's it's fine.

I'm still reading it. But like, yeah, it's definitely a little bit dis disfigured now. I was reading a paperback book glue still together last night. And we hit chapter four and the narrator changed. Whoa. I don't read enough for them to do that to me. They gave me the old okey dokey. Yeah, that threw me for a loop. Rachel, so then I start backpedaling.

I'm going back pages and Rachel starts to notice. She's like, just flipping through what you read. Just reviewing. Just looking through what you've been over already. I was like, I don't have any to start all over. I don't know. All of a sudden, it's a new, it's a new narrator, new POV.

I wish they would have explained a little more that they were gonna do that to me. That's funny. I don't read that much, so. So do you think, is it permanent new or is it like they're gonna go back? I will give the author some credit. The, every now and then a new chapter

has like a little name under it. And I think that's who the narrator is. Sure. I didn't catch that in chapter. I thought that was the name of the chapter previously. So wait, is this the fourth narrator you think? So it was just the first time it switched. But it was like chapter four or something like that. I didn't know if every chapter it said some other name and you're like,

I guess that's just like the new, you know, we'll get around to it. Why it's called that. I'm not a big, uh, pay attention to the chapter title guy. Right. Exactly. I didn't think I needed to. Yeah. It's like, okay, I'll, I'll learn what this means later. You read forwards or prologues, forwards, you read forwards or backwards. Uh, I didn't used to because I, I'm sorry, he's, he's luckily we have headphones on, so hopefully it's not too loud for you guys. Um, I didn't used to because I, I'm sorry. He's, he's, luckily we have headphones on, so hopefully it's not too loud for you guys. Um, I didn't used to.

And then one time there was a book I read, the early tales of snow and Oakham and I read it again. Like I started it for a while and like read like 30 pages way back in the day. And it was like, I don't really understand what's going on. And then I read it again, like last year and I was like, Oh, he kills somebody in the prologue. I think it's kind of important to read this chapter one, buddy. Most of the time it was like, I'm reading nonfiction, like leadership books that are

like, Hey, this book will be great for this. It meant a lot to me that this guy who died. No problem. I don't need to worry about Matt Chandler saying about this book. Like it's fine. And now it's like, I should probably check this out. So I'm with you. I don't know what book I read last year or something,

but I read some prologue or something. I was like, pretty vital info for the prologue. I guess I got to start reading those now. Great. So is this book, you're reading fiction? Yeah, my sister actually got it for Rachel for Christmas. But Rachel's reading a book right now. She's on her whole Kindle.

Oh, I gotta hurry and do this. Airplane mode before Libby. So she's like, you can read it if you want. Okay. But Rachel's reading a book right now. She's on her whole Kindle. Oh, I got to hurry and do this airplane mode before Libby. So she's, you can read it if you want. Great. You know, you wrote on a Kindle before? I did. My, I think my wedding gift to Rachel was that I got myself a Kindle. Oh, that's right. I would start reading with her. I love that. I'm going to start doing that with Catherine. Like my wedding gift to you is that I got a whole dumbbell set so I can get shredded with Jake. You're gonna love the way I look. She'd probably love it honestly, but I don't know if I would enjoy the Kindle reading experience. Like I'll tell you from my experience just the last few nights, Rachel's nightstand has the lamp on it. Mine's got the humidifier. Can't hardly, barely see. Oh, sure. Sure, Jake.

Last night, I plug a lamp in, get a light bulb in on my side. Great. But now I'm kind of wanting to read just want to read on my side. I can't really read on my side with a paperback. Kindle, no problem. So just in the last 72 hours, a Kindle has seemed nice. Dude, book light. You ever hear of those? You could probably imagine what they are. I can. I think I had these in like middle school, actually.

Maybe. Yeah. Catherine bought me one last year and it's awesome. I know my dad reads in bed with a like headlamp. Headlamp? Those are so bright. I feel like he like barely looks at your mom and wakes her up every time. But this is going to sound insane, but I'm pretty sure he reads with the red light on.

Oh. Like he's developing film. I don't know if that's insane. Only because I think that that is like less... Like that'll like calm you down or something. I've heard like red light... I don't know. Red light something. Red light therapy.

Red light therapy is a thing. I just think it would be... Your eyes would still strain to see the words. Yeah. He lost his coaster. Yeah, I know. You want some coffee? He needs your roasters All right, I might just see if he crawls into the other room Let's see where you're gonna go. Just see where he goes. Everyone place your bets He's just sitting by the coaster no problem. No problem. Henry watch the cords

Hattie Are my family's here eating bondi bowls with Rachel for her birthday. I know I was surprised. Yeah can Hattie come in here and get Henry? Get Henry? I don't know if I was super surprised but for Rachel's birthday she wanted to make your family acai bowls. Thank you Hattie. Wow.

Good girl. Great job. Dude she's like a second mom. It's unreal. Really picked him up. That's beautiful. Old Anna Imsch right there. Yeah.

Shades of Anna. I just opened Tymon's Christmas card about 10 minutes before he got over here. Yes. Great. Great card. Really good photos. Updated you.

Did you read the update on the year of the Imsch? I did. I was looking forward to seeing how she described Tyman's job What did she say again is Tyman stays busy with his videography and editing business? Yeah, that's nice I don't think I read that yeah, that's good. It was nice. Yeah, your mom teaches I'm gonna butcher it. I don't want to say the wrong thing. What is your mom teach? You do English to yeah like Afghan refugees, OK, yeah, I was going to say Afghanistan, but then I was like, that feels weird to throw that in there if it's not Afghan.

OK, yeah, you know it. Yeah. How many tours of English has he done? Do I got to start finding a new way to reword how I say my tours? Because people ask like, oh, yeah. And how much stand up did you do with Trey? And my go to answer is we did two tours. But then you hear that in the corner. Yeah, the room. You did two tours. But then you hear that in the corner, yeah, the room. You did two tours. Good for you. Sniper? Huh? Yeah. Would have expected a little

more, a little less hair on top there, but all right. Sniper. Yeah. Sniper. Oh man. Hey, Jake, what do you love most about winter time? Whoa. You have a new kid in your hands. Oh my gosh, Rosie, hi.

I kind of a Ted Bundy Jeffrey Dahmer, which one's the one that's like seducting seducing women? That'd be Ted Bundy. Yes. This guy is like a Ted Bundy of his day kind of thing. So I don't know. I'm like, Catherine, don't read that. And then try to go to bed and have nice dreams. Okay. But a really good book. But man, once a page, at least there's a word I've never heard of.

And so we have a game for you guys to see if you guys have ever heard these words and see if you guys can Choose the definition should we do spelling bee as well? Absolutely, we should do spelling bee as well. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take turns doing spelling bee We're not I'm not gonna give you both an opportunity. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay This is the whole like name of homeschooling, I feel like, is resting on my shoulders. I need to do homeschooling. You represent homeschool, I represent public school. For everyone. That's fair.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so we're gonna give one bonus point for getting the spelling bee word correctly. Okay. We're going to give three points, if you can guess it by definition alone. Okay. And that's your one guess,

or you can wager to go down to one point and I can give you a context sentence for that. I like this scoring. Okay, I don't have the context sentence in front of me. I'm gonna Google that context sentence if we need it. Thank you. So, Jake, you're gonna start spelling B. Your word is macadam.

Macadam. Wanna make sure I'm pronouncing that correctly. Go ahead and get me a sentence ready. Okay. While I work on the spelling. But that's kind of context. Oh, you're saying get a sentence ready. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna spell it now,

but when it's time to figure out the definition, I'm gonna need a sentence. Macadam. but when it's time to figure out the definition, I'm gonna need a sentence. McAdam. I feel like I've seen this maybe once. Not gonna be able to spell it. I think it's M-A, it's not M-C, it's not M-C-K. M-A-C-A-D-A-M, McAdam. That's correct, one point for Jake.

Public schools, oh gosh. Jake one, I'm putting that in my Google search. That's a new tab, Jake one. All right, McAdam. And I'm gonna give you the four definitions, all right? Wait, wait, wait, four definitions? Yes, one of them is correct. I thought I, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You get one point and now you get to choose based on these definitions if you want to guess or if you want a context

Clue they're singing happy birthday rich right now Great. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Yes. I don't need to come up with a definition on my own You're gonna give me a multiple choice. Yes. Oh great. Oh, yeah, if you if you That's why if you got if you got a definition of your own, I didn't know to say that's why I was like get a sentence Ready, I'm not gonna know my head. Oh, great. Oh, yeah. If you if you've got that's why if you got it, if you got a definition of your own. I didn't know to say that's why I was like, get a sentence ready. I'm not going to know. Oh, OK. OK, four different definitions here. Number one, Macadam is a rare breed of Scottish sheep known for its distinctive

Give me number two, that road thing alright final answer time Do you have any guesses? I'm guessing it's the drumming Irish folk drumming yeah

They're really guys you guys are going for three points right off the bat. You're not going for context clues So I'm able to guess in this and get I'm so sorry Spelling bee is only one person okay the other ones is that is both people gotcha so Your guess is my guess is the rhythm of the music and And your guess is type of road construction. Yep. Jake is correct again. Wow. New tab Jake 4. Tyman 0. Very good. All right. We're moving straight along here. Chat GPT style to the next word. The next word is macabre. Similar. Macabre. I think I know how to spell this one. Tymon, can you spell this one? M-A-C-A-B-R-E.

That is correct. Nice. Tymon one. All right. New tab. All right, in the definitions we have for you is macabre. A traditional French dance performed during harvest festivals to celebrate the end of the growing season.

So time in one, Jake four. Hope's wings down. That's all right. I'm sorry, time, and I feel like this is a pretty easy word for Jake, but okay Who knows? All right, Jake your word is itinerant. Oh No, not an easy word Itinerant itinerary is one of those words that I never spell right itinerary and rhythm. Okay, so I'm not gonna get it Sorry itinerant you're gonna get it right. I can I'm all I have faith in you spell right. Itinerary and rhythm. OK, so I'm not going to get it right. I tend to rent. You're going to get it right.

I can. Oh, I have faith in you. Really think of itinerary. Wait, where is it? The I or the I.T. It's not I again. That's what I dumb Jake always wants to do. I.T. E.N. All right. I.T.

I.T. E.N. What's that next vowel? I-T-N-E-R-E-N-T. Incorrect. I-T-I-N-E-R-A-N-T. Okay, I missed two at least. I was thinking, yeah. It is I-T-I. Home school people, Timon was thinking that. All right. Yeah. Oh, my dumb brain was right.

All right. Itinerant, the definitions are, one, itinerant, a rare mineral found only in volcanic regions known for its iridescent sheen. It's not that one. It's igneous. Number two, a person who travels from place to place, often for work or as part of a lifestyle.

All right Jake, your first example of a sentence is he lived as an itinerant earning or begging his bread as he went timing gets more points than me it's number two very good so time it has four jake has five very good now it's a barn burner now folks all right i'm gonna go down to i'm naming this episode a home school versus public school yes all right we're going to battle for the ages. We're gonna do two more. All right parentheses who will win? I? Went up against the kids these best homeschooler. I'm a 4.0 public schooler 4.3 weighted duper. All right time and your word is ochre

Ochre and I'm gonna make sure I spell that or pronounce thatper. All right, Timon, your word is ochre. Ochre, and I'm gonna make sure I spell that, or pronounce that right. All right, I've got a guess of a spelling. Let me make sure. Okay. You want me to go slow with the definition, or the pronunciation here? I'll give you a free sentence.

Shrek and Fiona are both ochres. Ochre. You're welcome. Ochre. Okay. You're welcome. Okay. Yep. All right. Uh, OCHRE. Nice timing.

Okay. Timing five, Jake five. Would not have got that one. No, I don't know if I don't think that's the thing. I don't know any of these words. That's why, that's why they're on the list. Okay. All right. Definitions here.

Oh said that to me. Oh, Jake. What's your guess Jake? You go first? Yeah you get Give me number two number three, please. I'll use but okay Number two. Number three, please. Brad will use. But OK, time is correct. The dying natural pigment, typically yellow.

I painted some in my day. Did you have you heard this word? Yeah. Really? Okers like the it's like a pink color all the time. Yeah. Well, that's not cool. All right.

Kind of homeschool activity. I have fine arts versus the jock. All right. I think a football question. This one, Jake, I think you're going to have a chance to come back on this one. This seems like I said it. Itinerant was an easy one. This seems like a really easy one to spell. Sweet.

Your word is rictus. Rictus. Is it an HRK, folks? Or a case? Not that easy of a word to spell, guys, I'll tell you that. Is it an H or a K folks? Rick this Not that easy of a word to spell guys, I'll tell you that Rick this Is it a ch is it a CK just to see just a K it could go Rick this I Mean, I don't even know what I'm thinking about. I don't know.

You're like thinking of all the other words that are similar. Rictus. Country of origin. Oh, it's German. OK. Rictus. That is going to be. I'm going to get at least three letters wrong here. R.

What if you're like, I'm going to go crazy. P. R. What if you're like, I'm going to go crazy. P-R-P-Rictus. Rictus. R-I-K-T-U-S. Okay. Tyman, you have a guess? I guess it's R-I-C-H-T-U-S. No, R-I-C-T-U-S. R, R-I-C-T-U-S. R-I-C. Oh, not that far off then. No, keep it simple. I just swapped the C and the K.

Yeah. I don't know if Ks were used very often back in the day. It's like the color blue. Is that true? Came around later. Oh, interesting. All right, definition of Rick, right now I believe Tymon is winning by three,

so that hurt, Jake. But you know what? I'm gonna,iman is winning by three. So that hurt Jake. But you know what? I'm gonna, this is a speed round. First one to say, that's it wins four points. All right, Rictus, a traditional Japanese sword used in ceremonial rituals. A rare plant species found in tropical rainforest known for its vibrant red flowers. A type of ancient Greek dance characterized by exaggerated facial expressions.

I hope it's that one. A fixed unnatural smile of grimace, uh, often associated with pain or distress. That's it. Ah, I should have said faster, but I'm going to, yeah, I would have said four as well. That's correct. Jake wins the speed. Homeschoolers are slow. Take that. Yeah. Fixed unnatural smile or grimace often associated with pain or distress. He had a look of rictus on his

face after the day well with honey. Yeah. There's just words like that. And I just keep reading. I just, I never look them up. Oh yeah. Everyone's well, Macadam has come up 20 times. I'm finally like, all right, what's that? I was like a big, huge reader when I was like seven or whatever. And I would, I would never think about how you might pronounce a word. I would just like read it, but just like not even. So if I had to read out loud, I would have no clue what to say. Oh, interesting. I would just like, I wouldn't even try in my head, which was weird. I think- Just gloss over it. Yeah. I would have no clue what to say. Oh, interesting. I would just like, I wouldn't even try in my head, which was weird.

I think- You just gloss over it. Yeah. Benefit to the Kindle. I think you might be able to just like long hold on that and have a definition right there. I've heard that, yeah. Kind of nice.

That is nice. Do you have pages on a Kindle or is it a scroll? No, you have pages. Okay, because that's one thing on the iPad that I've done before, like where it's just like scrolling. And it's just like, you don't feel this sense of productivity, or like, did I, how much did I actually read? I don't know.

I like the Kindle, you know, it's got a little status bar in the bottom right. You could switch what it tells you. It could tell you what page you're on, or it could tell you your percentage, like the percentage. Yeah, I would like that. 38% of the way done. Okay.

This is, or you could set like, based on your reading speed, how much time you have left. You have four and a half hours left. I might be bothered by that. I might like compete with myself. I do. I like it. Yeah. You like that though. We'll see about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would, but then I would be like, I don't know what I just read. Like they changed the narrator on me. I didn't even realize it. So that's something in, I think in Nate Bargatze's new special that I don't remember him doing was, he talks about the disconnect between his eyes and his brain when reading. He's like, my eyes are doing all this work.

They see everything and my brain's like, you gotta slow down, we can't figure out these words. You know, basically, I don't know what you just read and the eyes are mad at the brain. Like, I'm doing all this work and you're not getting any of this. How do you guys read? I know that sounds like such an elementary question.

Top to bottom, left to right. But like, do you say every word in your head or are you able to just like look at it and keep scrolling? Cause I feel like my dad is a super quick reader and I think he took some speed reading class in college one time and like, but I can't, I have to like basically narrate the whole thing in my head.

Let me read something right now. Yeah, I guess I am kind of saying it in my head, but really quickly. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I'm like narrating everything. I think I'm just kind of taking it in. Like, I don't know. I feel like I would do a kind of sentences at a time. I don't know. Yeah. I think the more I'm reading, the more I'm realizing that I'm not quite going word by word always, but every once in a while I have to go back

and read something again, because I was going too fast or something. Anyway, thanks for playing the game. Congratulations, Jake, on the championship. We will give you your trophy next week. Thank you. Pretty fun little game. I've got some games for us to play,

maybe next episode or something on Patreon, because on Rachel and I's drive to Iowa I'm just getting sleepy get kind of bored and I just came up with this game on the spot and I think it'd be really fun for you guys to do so we'll do that maybe maybe after this on Patreon or something that's one road trip game that I love it I I'm all into games that's one thing like I have definitely been like less connected and I know I've talked about it a lot, so I won't talk about too much more. But the thing that I am like occupying some of my leisure time with is like those New York times games every day.

Oh, almost every day I have like, I have, I do connections and then I go to, uh, Oh, what's the next one? Oh, the mini crossword and then wordle and then strands. I learned about strands recently. And then I learned that connections, the athletic has a version of connections for sports. Way too easy for us sports jocks. Really? Every time I'm like disappointed in it sometimes.

Like that was dumb. I think I've lost it once ever. But yeah, it takes like 10 minutes max, but it's kind of a fun, fun thing to do. I just had a revelation. I got a, this is kind of cool. I got a wart on my finger almost as soon as I started dating Rachel and she already had a wart, thanks a lot.

Oh yeah. So I just had this on my finger. I just noticed it's like kind of gone. And just today you think? Yeah, how long has it been gone? I mean, it's still kind of there. Warts don't just go away. You like have to freeze them off.

Sometimes they, I don't know how, I don't know how warts work. I'm a little befuddled right now. When was the last time you noticed that wart? I don't know, probably a month or so ago. Man, I'm so tired of how big it gets after the shower. It's gross. Okay.

Maybe it's still there, maybe it's a little dormant, but it kind of went away. I can't believe I'm just now noticing this. it gets after the shower. It's gross. Okay. Maybe it's still there. Maybe it's a little dormant, but it kind of went away. I can't believe I'm just noticing this. Let's look at this thing. On the podcast. I mean, so you could still kind of see it. I see where it was. Yeah.

I think it, that's a. It's flat. That's a grave site for that wart. That's pretty cool. Congrats, man. Don't freeze your warts. They'll go away eventually. I did have one on my finger for a while that went away.

Wow, that's awesome. But like. Maybe that's what the Dayquil's doing. Maybe. The honey. The honey. It's all natural. Soothes your warts. All comes back to the bees.

Not according to the bees. That's pretty sweet. I can't believe I realize that right now. Let's talk about. Pretty cool. New Year's Eve. Yeah. Tyman, tell us about your experience. Mr. New Year's Eve is great. It was Yeah, what are the Kelly's had my cousin meet all my friends. It was a lot of fun. We um, they have like

so my friend Oliver his brother lives like across the Like really close to them in a house, but he was out of town So we had to like stay in his house be as loud as we want as we want. Yeah, it's fun. Nice. That is fun Yeah, he's got a little crazy though. Yeah, this guy Oliver or Jack his his old brother Jack. He's like Maybe he's got his own house. Yeah, Mary. Yeah gangster. I like that. How do you stay up? 230 maybe she stood. It's just a normal Wednesday for time. Tuesday, whatever. Um, stop me if you heard this before, but

nothing really crazy happened on New Year's Eve. Uh, we went out to dinner. Uh, there was like 18 of us total. Yeah. Um, to a place. I'm not even gonna shout out their name because I don't we're gonna kind of I'm gonna kind of dog on him a little bit I had a overall it was a fun time we had 745 reservations I believe and I genuinely think we got our food so let's say it on three all right one two three ten 30 All right. One, two, three, 1030. Okay. Yeah. It was, it was wild. So we get there and it means a cool new place right on the river. I noticed we were close. I was picking up Andrew from the Union Station. Oh yeah. Yeah. Look, there they are. Pretty close to city market Union Station, downtown area. Really cool looking spot. And yeah, but we realized that we were gonna be like separated, like some of us were gonna be at a round table

and then we're gonna be like three booths or something like that. And so the, we, one of the guys in the party asked like, Hey, can we, do you have somewhere upstairs we could go or something? And they're like, yeah, sure. And so they sent us to this like event space upstairs. Which ended up being a great, it was really just us

and it was quiet. Yes. Like that. Honestly, really just us and it was quiet. Yes. Liked that. Honestly. Yeah. I'm not really complaining. It was honestly exactly what Catherine and I would have chosen more or less, except for the fact that we had our food so late, but quiet, easy going. No one else around like had our own private like conference room kind of event space thing. But yeah, a hundred percent. We were the last people to be served in the entire restaurant.

Like we got done and we went downstairs and every, like the entire restaurant was empty. No one was even there. It was wild. I mean, and I don't think Catherine later on, like, I think the next day was like, they're lucky that we're all really nice people. Like, because it's true. Like none of us really were that upset or like complaining or like, every once in a while we were like, man, it's kind of late. Like we might not. Yeah. Cause a lot of them were going to a party afterwards. Like we

might not get there till 11 o'clock. Like, no, it's nine o'clock right now. Of course they're going to get there before 11. I still tip 20%. Me too. Didn't even like my food. I know I ate all my food cause I was like like I'm spending too much not to. It was just fine. Japanese style bread. I wrote that down as my like that's my poultry of the week is Japanese milk rolls. Sounded amazing. Right? They are worse than what you could go buy at the grocery store. Sister Schubert's is doing better than Japanese milk roll. It was like it was just rolls. Just a roll. It wasn't even like a cool like, uh, the herb on the butter or anything. Nothing Hello Kitty inspired. I, nothing was Japanese about it. Yeah. They didn't have any sushi next to it. Um, Japanese milk rolls thing on the top of the

list. I was like, Oh, we're going to smash some Japanese milk rolls. Like this sounds great. They bring them out and it's just rolls. Yeah. And then you got some chicken thing. That was honestly, it was all right for me, but it was definitely like an egg, egg top to it. Yeah. Chicken underneath was just, I mean, just chicken. No like seasoning, nothing to it.

It was just chicken. And it was pretty thick. And so it was kind of dry. Like I, Catherine got the same thing. So we kind of shared. Yeah. I ate every, every bite of mine, but It was fine. It was fine It was one of those spots that like every single thing on the menu. You don't know one of the words

Oh, I was googling up a storm Catherine even had to tell me how to pronounce some of the words sorrel sorrel Maybe now I don't know which one is right sorrel sounds right but Something cappa cappuccino Now I don't know which one is right. Sorrel sounds right, but... Something in Cappatini, some other word, prawn. I knew prawn actually. Yep. I think that's fish. Something fishy. Squiddy.

But the conversation was really fun though. A lot of good friends there. Jake and I sat next to each other and people gave us a hard time like, oh yeah, you guys never hang out. So that makes sense. It was just like everyone else was sitting down. I was like, I'll just sit here. I was the only person not sitting by my wife and I was sitting next to the guy I podcast with. Oh yeah. It was fun though. It was, and then we just

like Catherine and I went home. We just like, all right, let's go home. Yeah. But it was fun though. We have good friends, funny friends. I turned around to like, cause you know, there's six to a table, so we're all at three separate tables. And once we kind of established our tables, I turned around to like Morgan and Emily, and I was like, hey, what are you guys gonna talk about?

I'll switch if it's good. And Emily was like, we're gonna talk about something. Morgan was like, yeah, maybe we will. And I go, good improv guys, that was fun. Because they are really funny girls. And I was like, good improv guys. They're like, you know what,

we don't do what you do for a living. I'll say, I hold you to a higher standard. We do very different lines of work. You have said before that Morgan is the funniest girl you may know. Yeah. I put, yeah. Morgan Mitchell up there in the Mount Rushmore of girls, Claretal Farrell. Yeah. Kristen Wigg. And Caitlin Riley. I think those are my four. Um, uh, Elise Guilfoyle. No, Elise Patton. Yeah. She's great. Yeah. She's great.

at least Guilfoyle. No, at least Patton. Yeah, she's great. Yeah. She's great. Rosie, I say Main Street, you say Roasters. Main Street, Main Street. I say coffee, you say beans. Coffee, coffee.

I say grounds, you say brew, grounds, grounds. I say GRKC, you say 10% off, GRKC, GRKC. That's right, we've rehearsed that. We've been working on it all winter. Main Street Roasters is once again, a sponsor of ours. Good job, Rosie. You did great. You did such a good job. Mainstreetroasters.com for the best coffee in the world. Ghosty owned, ghosty operated. Absolutely. We love this company for their coffee and their wonderful beans. I say K, Rosie says cups, K, K. Yeah, you guys heard it.

If you weren't driving and you have headphones on and it was a pretty quiet environment, you heard it. K cups. They can make it any way you want it, as easy, as convenient as possible. K cups, beans, grounds, even mugs to put your coffee in. Does daddy drink coffee every morning? And do I love my coffee?

Yes. She kind of says, nah, yeah. I say, yes, I think. Either my daughter's a liar or she doesn't know my habits. Why don't you buy some and figure it out yourself? Grk see Timberson off mainstream.com Let's see. What do I got written down here last night Rachel was out hanging with some friends I got over pick a bowl. It's like what I want to do got an hour to myself. I put on a that new Aaron Rogers

Documentary. Yes He's a NFL quarterback kind of a weird guy. Enigma, is that what it's called? Yeah, the documentary is called Enigma. And yeah, after watching an episode, pretty weird guy. Sure. It proved it. Pretty strange.

What struck you most about his weirdness? I'm trying to think what exactly. I mean, one, I kind of respect him. At least he is honest with what he believes and where he's at. It doesn't seem like he's two-timing anyone. He's just an honest, weird, strange guy. My main takeaway is they show him on a hike

with RFK Jr. as part of the documentary. I go, that's kinda cool. And then Aaron Rodgers comes away and he's like, doing like a talking head interview. And he's like, after that hike, he asked me to be his vice president. Wow. It's like, whoa.

That's crazy. Did I, was that common knowledge? I don't know if I knew that. It was like, there was rumors of that. I heard it with rumors, even with like Trump or something like that. Like, yeah. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers could be vice president.

Aaron Rodgers is going to quit the NFL to be vice president. Yeah. Did you ever hear about the rumors that he was going to quit to be the Jeopardy host? That was another thing. Oh yeah. They didn't really go over that. Because I think he he did host Jeopardy for a season. They showed him winning some celebrity Jeopardy thing or whatever. But that's crazy, though. Anyway, I love sports documentaries and just like documentaries of like greatness.

I think it's fun to see what makes someone great. And, you know, they're talking to his whole high school teammates or his high school coach. And his, the like upperclassmen high school quarterback is talking, he's like, I was kind of like, you know, a big brother to Aaron and Aaron said the same thing. And he's like, I was like at one point better than him. He's like, but in comparison to Aaron, I was lazy.

He's like, I did all the workouts Aaron did, but not like he did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was kind of cool. It was just like, yeah, people don't get to that level just on raw talent alone. Like they all work hard and so, yeah, I still thought it was cool and seeing his college days and how he fell in the draft and I still thought it was interesting. That's right. Like he was supposed to be like top five. Yeah. And then he was like number 20 something. Yeah. And it was just like kind of embarrassing. Like they kept showing him throughout the draft night.

I haven't watched the documentary, but. You're exactly right. Yeah. Like kind of like embarrassed. Like, okay. Eventually he left. He's like, I'm just tired of these cameras who keep coming over and showing me not getting picked. Yeah.

And so. And then he gets picked for the team that already has a hall of fame quarterback. Yeah. And I didn't realize this, but in like right after the season or something, I don't know, April Brett Favre's retires after three years of Aaron Rogers, you know, being underneath him. So he's like, finally I'm the starter. And then in like August Brett Favre unretires to come back to the Packers.

Yeah. And so Aaron's like, geez, now I got to deal with this. And I think they kind of kicked him off the team and traded him away. So Brett Favre was kind of just like, am I retired? Am I not retired? OK, I'm tired. I just get them to go play for the Vikings now. I'm just kidding.

I'm going to steal a million dollars from the Mississippi ball. I'm just kidding. Snapchat's a thing. OK. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, I think I mean, I found it decent. I thought it was cool.

I might keep watching it. Yeah, I I, I found it decent. I thought it was cool. I might keep watching it. Yeah, I might watch that too. I, oh, Rosie screaming in the other room. No problem. They're just having a good time. I went on Amazon Prime and watched the first episode of the Beast Games.

Thank you for doing that. Yeah. Honest thoughts. Yeah, I liked it. I mean, it's very entertaining. Like it's Mr. Beast. It's. Beast. At times it's like, is this scripted or is this part too cheesy? Or like, did they have her do that again? Like there's a part where a girl with the Jersey number one is like, they make, you know, I'm the best and that's why I'm Jersey number. And then like, right when she's about

to say one, they like drop her. You remember that part? Oh yeah. And then like right when she's about to say one, they like drop her. You remember that part? Oh yeah, she's like the last one to go. Yeah. And they're like, all right, you could say whatever you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, maybe she was told whatever, you know.

Overall though, just so like you're saying like all those cameras. Yeah, it was so impressive. And then they show the control room. Yeah. And then they show the control room with like those like masked guys with the briefcase of like, that's dramatic and cheesy. But like the control room itself was

like unbelievable. I mean, it had 500 TVs in there, whatever it was like the shot when they all get dropped in a row. Is that real? So cool. Honestly, I was like, is that CGI? Oh, no. Well, there is some CGI, but no, they did get dropped. Really? Yeah. They didn't get dropped. They elongate the screams and post to make it seem like further. But it's like a, I don't know, four, eight foot drop into like foam blocks. Okay. I didn't know if, no, I knew that the drop was real.

I didn't know if that shot was real. Oh yeah, it is. Okay. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. It was, it was fun. I'll, I'll definitely keep watching. Catherine was invested in it. Yeah. It was like, it was like during, like while we're eating lunch one time, she's like, is it okay if the kids, you know, are in earshot of this? And I was like, I think so. Yeah, it's totally clean. Yeah, I think so. Totally fine. There was that part where they basically like he keeps bribing all these different people. And if they take the money, then they are out of the game. But then also they like put like seven or eight people in their row out. And so, you know, that obviously like naturally sparks conversation between Catherine. I like, would you do, would you take it? What would you

do? How much money would you take it? Cause the, the winning person out of a thousand people gets $5 million, but that is very unlikely to happen. And at this point you get guaranteed $50,000, a hundred thousand dollars. And there's one, I mean, there's multiple people that are like, don't do it, we're not doing it. And then they end up doing it. They're the ones who do it. Backstabbing. I don't know if I could do that.

If I could do it, I wouldn't have said, don't, we're not pressing the button. You know what I mean? Like, I at least wouldn't want to lie to people. Yeah. I don't know, but it'd be so hard not to like, to know that somebody else could get you out like that like it was a very interesting social experience kind of like you're saying time and of like

There's gonna like mess with people's minds or something. Yeah, and knowing you're like on camera It's like I can't screw people over on camera, right? I was gonna see this. Yeah 100% yeah, it's episode Remember the one guy who like is like, he's like convincing his entire row. We are not like nobody's like doing it and then he just does it is like insane. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's like I had to do what I had to do for myself and it's like I understand that you're trying to win. Of course, everyone's trying to win, but like just don't be dishonest before you do it.

I don't know. Like there was one row that was like I'm really worried about this this guy. Everyone else is saying like, no, and he's just kind of staying there quietly. I don't mind that guy. Like that guy, like to an extent just looked out for himself, but like didn't deceive anybody. He just kind of was like shady the whole time. This will give too much away, but the tail end of episode two, they get split up into four teams and like, all right, each of you elect a captain that is like not gonna take a bribe. Like they are just like strong in their face. Yeah.

And so what they do is then each one of those captains gets up on like the stage, they've got a button in front of them. And it's like, all right, we're gonna add like money to the total above your heads. And at any point in time, you could take the bribe and it gets everyone out, but not you. So you get the money and get to stay in.

Sheesh. And it's insane. It's awesome. Wow. That would be something. Yeah. Holy cow. Cause yeah, it's like,

there's nothing to lose at this point. Yeah. Why would I not take this? It gets up to a crazy number. to lose at this point. Yeah. Why would I not take this? It gets up to a crazy number. Really? Yeah. It's awesome. Yeah. That's amazing.

Yeah. Cause like all these people are counting on this person and not take it. Like we elected you. You said you wouldn't take the bribe. It really is just a massive social experiment. It is. Yeah. Not that much physical stuff yet. But that's, that's,

cause then everyone can relate watching it. Like what would you do in this situation? Yeah. And when you start with a thousand people, you got to find big ways to knock a lot of people out at a time. Yeah. That's funny. You watched it. Yeah. Also on Amazon Prime. Have you watched? I haven't watched it, but I saw it advertised the chiefs of Holick documentary. Oh no. Yeah. I was like, oh yeah. I've heard about people saying that it's happening, but wow. Yeah. I absolutely need, oh yeah, I've heard about people saying that it's happening. Wow. Yeah, I absolutely need to watch that. Maybe this weekend. Supposed to get like eight inches of snow. And like, yeah, low of two degrees or something like that.

Wait, you haven't watched it yet? No. Should we cuddle up with our cozier blankets and watch some Cheeselolick? Yeah. Watch a sports documentary on something you don't care about? We'll see. My cousin's in town. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, I think it could be interesting when I got asked to do a guys do a little stand up gig last night.

Last night you did the gig. Oh, no, last night I got asked to do it. OK, it was so Scott and TJ. Well, this could be kind of a fun invitation. January 18th that evening at Chicken and Pickle down at Overland Park. Yep. Scott and TJ basically won their way to the championship game. So like they played in tournament in December.

They won every single game. They made it to the championship game and they put the tournament on pause because the championship game is now gonna be at Chicken and Pickle in front of all these people and it's for money. And so, uh, we're going to be there. Timon's going to be there like filming it, making a YouTube video of this. And, uh, anyway, the guy in charge of it,

Texas Scott last night and was like, I think Jake would want to just like hop on the mic at some point and do five minutes of standup just for fun. And I like politely declined. Okay. I don't think that's probably the right environment for like in between. If you said, yeah, I'll do it. Like I would have been supportive of like, cool, man, that's awesome.

But in my head, I'm like, that's a tough crowd. Like no one's engaged. No one's captive. You're in a open air. What do you say? Like echoing probably play like, yes, the court I'm on is not playing pickleball, but the five next to me are all still playing pickleball. Like crazy high ceilings.

Notoriously loud sport. Like really not the atmosphere for pickleball. But, and also, you know, we're there to get our job done and get the best video possible. So I don't want to stay focused on that. Not worry about, oh, I got this five minute pickleball set I got to do. So.

Hey, but if anybody wants to come watch some good pickleball January 18th, the chicken and pickle. Exactly. Okay. Yeah. I think it starts at like six or six 30. I think men's is later on. So you come at seven 30, probably a good time to do it. I don't know.

Come hang out with me and Isaac timing. Scott and TJ comes. He's a good pickleball. That's fun. They got an Andy's right down the road too. They do. You know, Timon, Scott and TJ. Come see some good pickleball. That's fun. They got Andes right down the road too. They do. You know, two degrees, Andes. Sounds nice.

Ooh, just drive through. Heat lamps. AMC town center. Yeah, sure. It's kinda close. Cabela's. Yeah, Cabela's is like not close. No, it's not.

What am I thinking of? REI. REI. Rockin' brews for some nice pints. Yeah. A couple of good pints. Other open invitation when the time comes. The volleyball team coming together. Indoor season. Okay. Time. Some are saying best team yet. Whoa. Some are saying. We got three, all three girls are division one volleyball players. That'll do it.

That's gonna be fun. That'll do it. Yep. And then me, Isaac, newcomer, Tate Unruh. Oh, nice. Kind of fun. Tatey, if you're listening to this, yeah, you weren't my first pick, but happy you said yes. I love Tate, man. He's, I bet, yeah, you weren't my first pick, but happy you said yes.

I love Tate, man. He's I bet he's good. Have you ever played with him? No. Okay. But Division one basketball player. Oh, pretty basketball professional basketball player. Yeah. He texted me yesterday. He said, disclaimer, my worst attributes will be all things related to volleyball specific skill. He said, but I will compete. I will get mad at refs slash opponents. Yes. I will be six four and jump. Oh, and I will not take it easy on any girls. That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah. He said, killer instinct, man. All my worst attributes. I said, this is Isaac's exact skill set and he does just fine. Yeah, exactly. Those basketball players. So that'll be fun.

When the time comes, you guys can come and watch us if you want. Yeah, we were just talking about that with Addy going, I'm boiling. I'm boiling. That was a hot night. That'll be fun. Time, it's something I wrote down,

it's something I also texted you last week, but you had a great 24 hours on Instagram. Let's talk about it. Oh yeah. I kind of forget what all, yeah, okay. Where you posted your little lady skit. Right, my lady video.

And then, uh, didn't know if you were gonna keep going. Uh. Oh, that was a strong two second pause. You have a lady video? I was like, I was like losing my balance and like sitting on this cord here, I was like, ooh, and sitting on this cord here.

I was like, ooh, talking to my headphones. And then I also had a comment on a Dax Flame video. Got like 40,000 likes, which is kind of fun. How? That's wild. Have you ever had anything like that before? I've gotten like 30,000 one time in the past, but this I beat the record. What do you quote or what do you comment?

It wasn't even again, like the two times that I've gotten all these likes. It's nothing that clever. It's just being early and like some of the people like think, oh, yeah, that's true. That's the name of social media. Yeah. I think so. We can do it relatively. Yeah, it was just some video of him being Dax Flame. And then he kind of laughs in this skit,

where he almost breaks character. But I'm still on the fence about whether or not he is a character. And I was like, but I just commented, even the breaking character feels in character. Because I was like, whatever. And then people were like, yep. Nice.

I agree. Yeah. And liked it. So that was fun. And that one, my lady video, uh, got like, I mean, didn't hit the algorithm, but it like got the most like likes and people, I think, thought it was funny. Awesome. Yeah. I watched it. I think remind me what it was. It was the, like your friend who can't keep a secret, like the girl can keep a secret. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I made a little video. Did you see that?

Yeah. It was right after we recorded the last podcast. I was like, you know what? It's number 31st. I'm going to throw something together real quick. Write a little script, a little voiceover. Sorry for interrupting. I was going to say similar to Spotify wrapped.

I love recap posts. I don't mind the recap post. Don't hate on them. I think it's so fun to be like 2024 was great. 2024 was hard. 2024, I did this, this and this. I'll watch them every time. Kind of the modern Christmas card a little bit.

I think that's why I like it. Yeah, maybe so. Yeah. I like it especially if it's like something easy to follow or like it's written well or like photographed. Yeah, I'm into it. Yeah. Anyway, just made a little video about how Rachel and I have ran a mile every day this year.

And I just refreshed my Instagram, 100,000 views. Rachel's really popular. I put all this work into so many other videos. And like this one, like this is just iPhone footage of us, I mean, the point was never to make a video. I mean, I could have created such a better video had I planned on making a video about this. This was just like.

Finding things from your phone. Yeah, just like random times. Now that I think about it, I didn't even put in the videos of when we were running the Buc-E's and all these other places. I didn't even put that much thought into it, but either way, kind of fun. 600 shares, that's what I'm confused about.

Who's sharing this with whom? Sharing with their wife, sharing with their running buddy maybe. Ooh. Maybe they're saying, hey, Future running buddy. This year let's do 365. I know we tried to do it twice a week this year,

or last year, let's do 365. Maybe, I don't know. I was just shocked. That's awesome. Yeah. 600 years. Just tag Rachel Coupe Triplet in anything and it'll blow up. It does seem to be kind of the magic formula. That's how it's, that's our world today.

Blondes rule the world, you know. Amen, brother. Amen, brother. So, Tommy, do you have any more skits coming out? Maybe. Come on. I think me and Graydon wanna get together and do some stuff,

because I feel like if Graydon would have been in Branson, he would have been the guy that was with me. He's pretty gung-ho. Yeah, he's down for film and stuff. And then we have one or two that might come together. I need to look at the footage and see if there's enough for a skit. Oh, you filmed some?

We filmed one at the park, kind of, and then one kind of on the way there And we'll see if any of you kind of are more than kind of a video Basically, it's like we had like a joke or two that it's like maybe these are funny enough for but for each of them But we'll see we'll see do you have like a document like do you mind sharing like what are some like? Oh, I should skit ideas you have honestly. I don't's not too many, so I don't know if there's that many in here. Like I have a lot that were like random, oh my cousin Andrew had a great idea. Tell me if this is, I think this is really funny.

He was like, we should do, whether it's like a podcast clip or just like a staged conversation, but basically we're like, dude I keep seeing these AI videos like on my feed, and I just keep, they look so fake. Like something's off, like, and they're not even that great of videos like I mean AI he's they're coming out with a lot of stuff but they just they don't look real they look like I don't know if it's like CGI or artificial intelligence or

something I like the joke of like I don't know if it's like CGI maybe it's artificial intelligence saying we don't understand what AI is oh I see I was like confused for a second and Now I get it. Jake got it right away. I was trying to understand. I think it's like, yeah. I liked that it didn't, I mean, it could be subtle enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know. Because then you think it's a real clip of you guys talking about it. Exactly, yeah. I think that could be funny. These AI videos are so fake. Are they not? Yeah. Why aren't people talking about this more?

That's funny. Yeah. And then like, I thought of the comment section when artists announced they're going on tour. Oh, that's fun. Just like, no one's excited. They're all just ticked off. It doesn't happen to be their city. Yep.

You're a socially unaware friend. I don't know we can mess around with that. Not much. I was trying to think of things if we did like some on the street interviews there of like, couldn't think of much for that either. I was like, we finished the lyrics to this song it's like that's not that funny I don't know but let me know if you think of stuff though I like the AI thing we probably will do that's pretty funny

yeah I always I'll go ahead Jake once I just came to mind I think like from the homeschoolers perspective is like really fun and what obviously reach more than just homeschoolers I think if it's like a homeschooler's perspective of a high school jock and then just like have great and just or Zach just like really play it up. You know, it's like right jokes for that. And I like that. Thurbus has obviously had a lot of success doing school content. Yeah.

Yeah. I was going to say something not that related at all. I've always thought it'd be fun to do like a little short where it's like you get together for coffee with somebody, um, that you don't know very well, it's kind of uncomfortable. And then you're leaving and you say goodbye. And then you both walk in the exact same direction. Cause you didn't realize you park next to each other. I think I, that just happens to me decently often like, all right, man. Yeah. So good to see you. Yeah. We'd love to do this again. Yeah, totally. All right. Yeah.

We'll see you. And then you just start walking into the parking lot. Oh, I guess, I guess we're coming this way too. You know, whatever, something like that. It'd be funny if it just keeps going. And then it shows you guys like in the parking lot of like a supermarket, I guess we're just still doing this. I don't know, man. This is crazy. You needed spinach too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to get your iron. I get it. Yeah. That's great. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. I like that. I still need to get your iron. I get it. Yeah. That's great. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I like that I still need to do for pickleball. Originally I was going to do it like when they don't tap

paddles with you. And so it's just one guy like chasing after the paddle tap. And then he does it over a number of like different scenarios and settings and winter and summer and at a music park and it's chief's game. You know, you're still searching after it, but I think another version could also be the guy who doesn't let out balls go. And like you're jumping to hit it in all these different places.

Sure. You know, whatever. That's funny. Those different types of videos. Pretty easy. Yeah. Perform well. That's great.

Sweet. What else? What else? What else? I, you know, I talked about the whole chimney fiasco being disconnected. Gotta talk to the Fluse brothers. Yes. The chimney experts. Yes.

Who were like supposed to give a piece of my mind, got nowhere. Didn't, didn't, nothing happened. And this is a good response, but I think they're telling the truth, but this is a good thing to keep in mind in general, because they're hearing all these bad things that they did. Like I was told to get my chimney inspected by a professional.

I thought I was doing that when I hired you guys, but turns out I almost burned my house down because my chimney is not connected. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that. We're under new ownership now. I can promise that won't happen again. I'm like, okay. Why would I give you my business again when you almost burned my house down the first time? Like, so sorry. We're under new ownership. So I can assure you that won't happen again. I'm like, dang it. That's just the perfect response to everything I've been

saying. Yeah. There's no there there anytime you like have a terrible company Just like hey, do you mind buying it from me real quick? I know we're kind of co-owners anyway Let's just go back and forth passing back and forth. So technically we're under new ownership. Yeah, it was like a pretty good response It was like that Joe's kind of defeat anything I say like oh my gosh, that is awful Thankfully, we don't have that owner anymore. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I guess Here's here's two things that, uh, Thanksgiving, first of all, let me just give a shout out to uncle Marty, uh, Thanksgiving, uh, uncle Marty and Susie, they are just, I mean, they're, they're older parents, like their grandparents are just, uh, not our target demographic at all necessarily for the podcast. Okay. And definitely like uncle Marty's like, what's the word?

Academic guy, just like a very smart, like science teacher, like whatever. He'd be the guy that I would think would think our stuff is so dumb. Okay. And he came up to me and he's like, and they were driving from Wichita into Kansas city for Christmas.

And he's like, your podcast is so much more enjoyable to listen to than the radio. And I was like, thanks Marty. Anyway, so shout out to uncle Marty for that Christmas. He said that. It was like, I was expecting him to be like, man, especially they were like, we listened to the Christmas episode. We were going a little off the rails at Christmas. Okay.

Thanks, Marty. of the Christmas episode. We were going a little off the rails at Christmas. Wow. Fun. Okay. Thanks Marty. And then my aunt Cindy, who is much like, you know her better than uncle Marty. She is not convinced, but she is leery of the roof guy. She thinks that maybe he's scamming you. Oh, okay. And also aunt Cindy used to know the owners of the Fluse Brothers. And she says that now that they're under new ownership, they're bad. Why does she know that? My Aunt Cindy used to, she worked for like 40 years in Lewisburg.

And so she knows everyone that's ever sniffed Lewisburg, Kansas. And so I think this owner of Fluse Brothers was a Lewisburg guy. Okay. And so that's why, remember when you were like, Fluse Brothers, like, oh, I don't like them. Yeah.

Because I think they sold out. Okay. I think they used to be pretty good. So don't you, you, they're under new ownership. Yeah. Since when? I don't think it's that new. Okay. Anyway, I think we got to go up into the attic ourselves and make sure this thing is truly,

did it look like for sure your attic? It's hard to say. Yeah. Like you don't have anything up there that's like, yeah, there's that ourselves and make sure this thing is truly. I didn't look like for sure. You're attic. Hard to say. Yeah. Like you don't have anything up there. That's like, yeah, there's that Michael Jordan poster that I moved in. You know? Yeah.

I. Yeah. I think I just need to, I need to go full, you know, free market here and just have several different companies give me an estimate, go with the best one. She just said, she's like, roofers that go door to door are sketchy. I don't know why she says that. David seems like a good guy in that video. Can I inspect your roof? Okay. And your roof does look like visibly from the street. There's like indents in it or something. There's shingles missing.

And the master bedroom does leak if it rains a lot. So I don't think he's completely making it up. And I had an insurance adjuster come out and they like said similar things to what the roofer said. They're like, yeah, you do have some issues on your roof. So there you go, Ancindy. Maybe the- David is a nice guy.

Nice guy, simpatico. So appreciate everyone looking out for me though. I'll figure it out one way or another. One way. Hey, Bo, you want to say something on the podcast? Doubtful. He sprinted away. Is he in his hoodie still? Yep. Hoods still on. He loves his hoodie. He loves when we both wear hoodies together Like he's in the stage where it's like dad Are you gonna work your belt to church to you know all that like every single time you wear something you ever put your shoes On and walk around. Oh Rosie's the big shoe gal. Yeah. Yeah Rosie's always

Mess with people's shoes. But yeah, I think they all go through phases of it Rachel pretty often will put on my shoes and walk around and I really like it when Rachel does it. Like that looks so funny and cute. Those are my shoes. Those are too big for you. Just flop it around. Alright, I want to give one quick shout out before we end this thing. Just a quick one. I keep meaning to say this and I haven't. There's a ghostie named Rachel, not Rachel Coop,

who bought a cutting board from me a couple of weeks ago for Christmas time and also delivered shortbread cookies to me in the process. And these shortbread cookies were some of the best cookies I've had in my 34 years of living. So shout out to Rachel for whatever those cookies were. I texted her later. I was like, I hope you understand. Like Catherine, I have multiple types that these cookies are unbelievable. So shout out to Rachel.

Shout out. Yeah. Just I have, I've had that in my notes and I keep forgetting to say it. So here I am. Good cookies, Rachel. Raise a glass to Rach. Yeah. You got any last last minute shout outs? No, I don't. No, I do not. Let's do our reviews of the week. Pull them up on my phone. Yeah. My review of the week is coming from Ghosty on second. It's a five star review. The best of three worlds. I know the phrase is the best of both worlds, but the title to this review represents the crazy amount of fun had on this podcast when

three guys in three different seasons of life come together and have the most fun while debriefing their week. Got family man, Brad, newly married Jake, and the world is his oyster time. Thank God that these worlds collided and have provided joy to so many ghosties over the years. I got such a fun, I don't, I don't always take inventory like that. I don't ever look, I don't have that perspective of like, we're kind of, I mean, we're all in the same world, I think. But then again, it's like, we're a rag tag bunch. We're in different phases of this, of this, you know, hamster wheel called life. It is fun to like, yeah, think about it from different perspectives like that is probably what makes the podcast so special. So thank you to Ghostie on second.

what makes the podcast so special. So thank you to Ghosty on Second. This review comes from Becca Gecko. The title says wanted to write this before the 2028 election. Smart. Yeah. Best pod ever. Just started the best moments of 2024. And can I just say I was already laughing in the first 30 seconds.

I love listening to y'all. Seriously, I listen to this pod every Monday and Wednesday while I'm at work. My co-workers look at me like I'm a mad woman laughing at the voices in my ears. Thanks for always brightening my day. Salute emoji. Yep. Tours.

Big smile emoji, kind of teary-eyed emoji, and then the American flag. So. Salute and American flag. Good for her. Pleasure's all ours. Yep. Thank you to Beko. Good review.

Good review, Beko. Would you guys like to end this episode with a jingle of sorts? I have a recorded jingle from a Ghostrunners fan that we're going to play at the very end. We're going to literally end this episode with a jingle. Ben Robbins. I think we're even going to have this one able to be thrown up on the YouTubes, Timon. I think he wrote the music himself. It's a parody of a Forrest Frank song,

but I think he did his own backing track and everything. So, shout out to Ben Robbins. Yeah, he's awesome and just a great, great listener. So thanks to you guys for listening.
