Jake, happy Monday to you. Thank you. It's episode 400 of the Ghost Runners podcast. Is it really? Isn't that crazy? We made it to 400. We've always said if we can make it to 400, why not go five? Let's do it.

Yeah, let's do it. I thought we could do something special for episode 400. We've been anticipating this from the get go. It's kind of like the writers of Lost like knew the ending when the beginning of the show started. It's a great leadership principle. Begin with the end in mind. Absolutely. And so, yeah, so I think we should just do 400 facts about, 400 facts about gluten.

Great. Just go ahead. 400 things, yeah. Is it like, things they didn't already know about gluten or is it just straight facts? I think let's try to make them things they don't know. Great. I mean, somebody's gonna know everything out there. There's a, like Cody Davis is gonna be like,

yeah, I knew that. I was in classical conversations, homeschooled. Well, we'll try our best. Let's try to get to 400. Okay. Number one, eating a deer is gluten-free, but eating the skin is not gluten-free. Yeah, I'm not trying to embarrass you,

but I think everyone knows that already. All right, my bad, you're correct. Okay, gluten is actually originally Latin for glutinous. Fun. You can eat the keys of a Mac keyboard if you're gluten-free, but not of a PC. That is something I did not know. Yeah.

Okay. Something about the way they, the lacquer. Gosh, I'm starting to, those are, those are the only facts I know about gluten. Well let's just, let's do a different topic then. Yeah. Okay. All right. For just edit this part on 400 things

You can do on the monkey bars Other than hang from them. Yes Number one pizza party To cold cuts party dude three Three dude taco party. It's a little bit more messy. Okay. But every bar is a little different condiment. All right. Dang, I'm having...

Breakfast pizza party? Breakfast pizza party, okay, okay. Don't put pizza in a box. We can do a breakfast pizza party. Five. That's four. Shoot. Gluten-free deer party?

That'd be weird up there. Let's do it. All right from the top All right, let's go timing from the top just you'll you'll do what's called a splice here timing and you'll just splice this part out All right, just splice find the keyboard shortcut for splice command K. I think Command K is splice. I don't know. It's a it's Latin firstplice. Hey, you know, want to keep that going? Latin? Yeah. Yeah, let's do Latin words. 400 Latin words. 400 Latin words. Number one, et. Okay. Two, pluribus. Three, two, four, unum. Five, brute. Four, unum. Five, brutae. Six, e, I kinda did it in my backwards order.

Seven, ano, ano, like the year, ano. That's good. Eight, it's gotta be like phylum. I think, I think so. Nine, I want to say, this is going to sound crazy. AirPod? I think that's a Latin word. I think that's like Latin for like tiny air bud. Right? Like an air bud puppy. Is this a good intro guys? 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 a Ghost from the sparky Oh, oh, oh, oh the snow, snowpocalypse. Snowpock, Snowmageddon is here. Throatmageddon is here. They got a cold for three weeks. Has it really been that, surely not, but it's been too long. Probably, I don't know.

I don't know, too long. Too long. Too long is right. Too long is right, but it's all good. What happens is every morning I wake up and I can't talk. I mean, my throat hurts so bad. My first thought every morning is like, how can it still be this bad?

I can't talk to him. I can't even whisper to my wife. I can't say anything. Dry or? Yeah, crazy dry, but I got the humidifier six inches from me on full blast. Sure. And then it really just takes like two hours.

Just two hours of just like liquids and cough drops. And then I'm like kind of back to normal. Yeah. So I'm not gonna be Good Ranchers ye hawing, but I think I can talk like this for at least like an hour or two. Great. That's all I ask.

Yeah. I'll, you know, we've always talked, people are always like, I like listening to them while I go to sleep. Maybe this is the calm episode. Yeah. For both of us. Yeah, it's the white noise episode.

White noise. Yeah, that's a bummer, dude. Is there any kind of like indication of like, okay, maybe this is worse. Is it like getting worse or getting better? Or is it just kind of just plateaued? Last weekend, thought I turned a corner and then started podcasting again

and I think it just back to hurting. So it's probably just a little bit of overuse. Sleeping though, nine and a half hours last night. Dude. Not bad. I hibernated the other night. Did you? It was wild. I, yeah, I think I was,

I think I went 8.30 to eight o'clock. I think I went almost a full 12. Wow. Something like that. Weekday? Weekday, dude. Yeah, maybe it was like 7.30. It doesn't matter.

It was a long 11, 11 and a half hour. I, yeah, I put the kids to bed. Some of the, I don't know, one of my offspring to bed, Catherine was worried, or was working on the other ones. And I went to go read my book. I'm been reading a fiction book called Bear Town.

Ever heard of it? Look out, no. It's not what you think, it's about hockey. Really? Yeah. Thought it'd be about bears. Bear Town sounds awesome. It's fine, I'm like 75 pages into it. And it hasn't like gripped me yet.

And I'm like, they should that the very first page grips you pretty well. And then after that, they just talk about the characters for a long time. It doesn't matter. Rachel started the show. We almost came over to your house and watched a thriller series.

It just came out. It was like number one on Netflix. I was like, we should watch this. And Rachel and I ended up starting to watch it the next night Glad we didn't try and watch it your house didn't grip me. Yeah 25 30 minutes into it. I was like, does it get good in season two? Does it get good later? That's what I'm like

I think we talked about this at my house where it's just like okay if enough people say this is good I will give it a chance and like that's what this book is supposedly really good. And so it's like, all right, I'll, I'll read it, but I'm not, I'm not watching the number one thriller until it's like five people have said, that's a really good show. Yeah. You said you like, I got to hear different types of people recommend it to me. I got to hear a cousin. I got to hear a stranger and I got to see it on social media. Cause I think you and Tymon together, a nice blend of like-

Interstellar's good. But at the same time, I'm like, but there's still things that you guys like a lot more than I do. You know what I mean? Not like that I would dislike it, but it's just like- You need someone else.

I need a third person that's just a little different than you two doing it. That's fair. Maybe last year, you remember me talking about Night Agent. We love the show. Oh yeah, that's Jensen's friend. Yes, exactly. They're coming out with a season two in like a week or so.

Okay. And so we're like, you know what? Forget trying to find this new show. Let's just gear up for season two at Night Agent. Okay. So last night we popped on the first episode and it was a healthy dose of just like, see now that's a good show.

Right. They started off great. The whole first episode is great. Yeah. Where have we gone? What? Yeah. Why do we need to try to, you know, That's a good show. They started off great. The whole first episode is great. Where have we gone? Yeah, why do we need to try to get so artistic about it? Just get us excited right off the bat. Grip me.

Grip me, please. So anyway, all I have to say, I read literally four pages of this book, 8.30 at night, and twice in four pages had the thing where I fell asleep and it fell on my face. The book. Fell on my face. Yeah, I wasn't even trying to sleep. I had like all my clothes, like my work clothes on

and I had like my work clothes on was like seated pretty not right angle, but I'm talking 60 degrees or so with like six pillows behind me, you know, like all the decorative pillows still. And I just, I was like, well, I guess I'm kind 60 degrees or so with like six pillows behind, you know, like all the decorative pillows still. And I just, I was like, well, I guess I'm kind of tired. So I just put my hands in my pocket with no blanket on or anything and just like close my eyes for a little bit.

And dude didn't wake up until the morning, like slept like that. Wow. For like, like an old man in his recliner just was so tired. To gear up for the blizzard, Rachel got a clicker for her Kindle so she can keep her hands warm

or even lay in bed and like. Where's she putting the Kindle? So you prop it up against something and you can read sideways or whatever. You just find ways to prop it up and then you just got it in your pocket. That's cool. This has been very destructive

when it comes to staying awake and reading. She's falling asleep instantly. Oh, it's making it worse. She's so cozy. Yeah, she's laying down. Yeah. Like fully just laying down in bed reading. And yeah, it's not ideal.

Yeah, that would. She also turns off all the lights, gets under a massive cozy earth blanket and is shocked she fell asleep. But also like that's, I feel like I sleep way better when I'm reading but right before bed than if I just try to go to bed without reading. Yeah.

Or with my phone or whatever. Like it's just like, there's something about it. It's the new sleepy time tea. Maybe so. So anyway, all I had to say, slept hard. Yeah. And it was nice. And yeah, Catherine said she came in

and she saw me there. She like tried to put a blanket over me. And I was like. And yeah, Catherine said she came in and she saw me there. She like tried to put a blanket over me. And I was like- You like threw it off? I- Oh, I'm raw dogging this. No, I don't want that. I did, I had like, you know, I've been working.

I can talk all about that in a little bit, but I've been working. And so I had my like cover all pants, but then I also had pants underneath those pants. Yeah. So I was plenty warm. Yeah. And so I didn't need, didn't need any of that.

Get that out of here. I like fuss. So anyway, but yeah, we had in Kansas City, at least tons, I think it was like the third or fourth most snow we've ever had in 24 hours on Sunday. Yeah, I think we got about 11 inches or so. Yeah, it was crazy. So it was-

It was a lot of snow for Kansas City. It was. I guess Rachel is at school today, you said. Yep, it was crazy. So it was a lot of snow for Kansas City. It was like, I guess Rachel is at school today. You said, yep. Today's Thursday. But yeah, they got off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, which is crazy because it hasn't snowed since Sunday. And Kansas is still out of school. Really? Yeah. Okay. And it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. I hear. Yeah. There was like before it snowed, there was probably like, I don't know, a quarter to half inch of ice that came down first. That was bad. And then it snowed, there was probably like, I don't know, a quarter to half inch of ice that came down first. That was bad.

And then it snowed. So that's kind of what created all this, but. The ice was bad. Like that's when you saw like all the videos online of people crashing into each other on the highway and stuff. But yeah, it was wild, dude. So Sunday, our pastor at our church has always been like, no matter what, we will always have church.

Like I think ever since 2020, when they shut down, he's like, we're never shutting down again. Like we have it, we'll always have it online. If you want to watch it online, you want to do that, but like we will always give the option to congregate at church. And so I knew that and I was like, I'm going to church on Sunday, Sunday morning.

Thinking to myself, like we go to a large church, I don't know how many, 2,000 people on a Sunday morning between the multiple services and multiple locations and stuff. And so I thought to myself, maybe there's gonna be like a hundred people there. Like, I got, like there's a lot of, you know, people with trucks, like they'll be out there.

Dude, I pulled into church on Sunday morning by myself, the kids in Catherine State Home, and it was like, oh snap, are they not having church today? Like there was no one in the park. There were six people in church. And then there was like the worship leader and his wife and another woman singing. That was it.

That was it? It was wild. And the whole thing. So like literally, I mean, I'm glad I wasn't late because they were like, called me out. They're like, good morning, see you there, Brad, how you doing? You were one of six in the audience.

Yep, and so, you know, we're on stage. You know, Bill, the worship pastor was like, you know, let's go ahead and greet each other. So it was literally like, I met everybody at church that day. Are you guys all in the first two rows or where'd you sit? There was classic, like one guy that was pretty far back. I was, I think I was third row. There was a guy in front of me, second row.

And yeah, there were two, it looked like a father son kind of off to the side, but it was all men and the women singers, but like the only guys that were stupid enough to drive to church, I guess, were men. Six is crazy. Yeah. I mean, it truly was like for Kansas standards,

I know there's different standards of snow, but for Kansas standards It was like nasty roads and like yeah, I that that's another fun thing though about Four-wheel-drive dude. It's like it's like this fraternity like everyone's so like once a year it's like only we can be on the road and It was just you know Everybody you see is in four-wheel-drive jeeps and trucks and stuff and so it's just kind of fun to just like have this massive city to yourself kind of, you know. So anyway, it was kind of wild. You've been loving the truck and Catherine's kind of been watchdogging for you.

Yeah. And you just kind of help out. I kind of have a taste for saving people now. See why Jesus is so about it. No. Yeah, there was there was a woman, a woman that drove like two hours to get, which sounds like a valiant reason. She said she was doing it, I think her ex-husband or whatever, who has their daughter was staying or living at the house like a couple streets down from us.

But she drove like two hours to get her her computer because maybe they're going to have virtual school. I don't understand everything. But she got within two hours to get her her computer because maybe they're going to have virtual school I don't understand everything but like she got within two blocks and then her car like got stuck in a ditch or something right outside Our house and Katherine comes up to me. She's like hey FYI Neighbor will is trying to help out Can you you know see what you can do with this this girl and so I went out there and we pushed her out of the Thing I was like that's kind of that's kind of fun. Hey And then the next morning she called or she comes up to me So I went out there and we pushed her out of the thing. I was like, that's kind of fun. Hey.

And then the next morning, she comes up to me. I'm doing a puzzle with Bo. 60-piece puzzle. I'm that bad at puzzles where it's like, hey, Bo, I think this one goes there. But oh, I guess maybe it doesn't. Do the corners first. She comes up to me.

She's like, hey, Jake has been out there for a while and looks like he might need some help. And I was like, OK. So I went out there and, oh, I called you first. I was like, hey looks like he might need some help. And I was like, okay. So I went out there and, uh, I, well, I called you first. I was like, Hey man, you need some help? You're like, no, no, no. I think I'm about to get it. About to crack any second now. And I bet you would have. I bet. I don't know. I think it was the push. You think so? I needed it. Yeah. I need to push more in the shovel. I think. And I'd say the push is effective.

It feels so like, you know, 18th century. Like that's all we need. We don't need like, we don't need the, you know, the wood underneath or like, you know, the shovel or anything. It's like, no, you just need some good old fashioned push. Brawn, brawn, yeah. Brawn.

Yep, brawns. Ryan brawns. Yeah, so I just, I pushed you out to because you were in, you had to go save Rachel. Yes, that was the thing. Woke up Monday morning, Rachel. So Rachel planning for the the blizzard was like me and some girls are going over to a friend's house.

And we're just got to bunker down and just majean all weekend. That was a plan. Great. All right. Monday morning rolls around. She should probably get back home and her car won't start. Dead, bummer. So I'm like, hey, I gotcha. No problem.

And, cause by that point, the roads, at least our road was like looking pretty good, but getting out of the driveway was the hardest part. Yeah. Especially when you don't have a shovel. I guess I just don't have one, you know? We've just never had that much snow in Kansas City where you needed a shovel really.

Usually it's like just kind of, just rev it up a little bit and you'll get out of your driveway and eventually it'll melt pretty quick. Yeah, this is like some of the most snow I've ever seen in my life. Catherine said that too. She's like, it feels like we're at a ski resort.

And you know, she's from Texas where she was talking about like growing up, it's been like a half an inch, one inch of snow. We's like, it feels like we're at a ski resort. And she's from Texas where she was talking about growing up, it's been like a half an inch, one inch of snow. We freaked out about it. I was like, for the record, I didn't freak out about half an inch back in the day. But this does feel like a ski resort to me too. It is so much snow.

A foot, yeah, it's a lot. It looks cool. It's a lot. And it's very evident if a snowplow has touched your street well or not yet. It's not like, oh, maybe it's just going if a snowplow has like touched your street well or not. Yeah. Like it's not like, oh, maybe it's just gonna melt on its own.

It's like, no, no, no, like we need a snowplow here. And so the snowplow was a little bit to my detriment because I'm trying to get my car out of the driveway. And so first I'm like, all right, I'm gonna need a shovel. And I'm just kind of looking around my house. Before the blizzard, I gave Rachel my ice scraper cause she didn't even have one. So she's got my ice scraper.

So now I mean, I really have nothing to work with. And so I'm just like, you need a scraper. Yeah. That's rough. But I found one item that worked great as a shovel and a scraper and that's called dust pan. I'm just gonna say right now works better than you think.

The old dust pan. Works better than you think. Now there was a lot of, when it came down to shovel, there was a lot of hunching over. I would say. A lot of hunching. I didn't mind the hunch though. You know, the harder you work, the warmer it gets. That's true.

It really was like, man, this isn't, I really wasn't having a bad time. I saw that for Rachel. It's like, oh, she's stuck in someone else's driveway who's trying to get to work. I should try and hurry. But yeah, the dustpan works as a great scraper and as a great shovel. I would recommend it to anyone, but if your next door neighbor calls and so you need help, you should probably take the call.

That is funny. You were like, nah, dude, no, I'm good. I'm right there. You're just so nice. I'm in the ninth inning. I'm like, dude, I can come over. I'm right here. Maybe he needs to pop over and see.

And yeah, you brought a shovel, which is really helpful. Yeah. Really saved the day. But I really think it was the push. It was the brawn. It was the push. Because you were kind of like high center. Is that what, like, like you were basically just like stuck.

Like when you got out, there was just a very large panel where your car was like scraping. Yeah. Because my car does decent in the snow, but I think it's too low to the ground. That was the problem. Because there was so much snow. Because of the snowplow. It was like scraping. Yeah, my car does decent in the snow, but I think it's too low to the ground. That was the problem. So there was so much snow. Because of the snowplow.

It basically like took the ice and put it at the end of my drive. Yeah, the snowplow makes it like, oh, you got 12 inches of snow. Great, we'll give you 24 at the bottom. Yeah, 100%. It's just like, all right, he's gonna figure out. It's like, I wonder, I'm sure you tried multiple things,

but I wonder if you should have like tried to go forward and then got some moment Throwing it back. You know, I mean, yeah, it just felt like I was like stuck on something which kind of makes sense now It's like I don't know if yeah Anything would have happened But Brad saved the day and kind of just kept saving people Yes, I got back like an hour later and cross Brad on a different street and he was just you know, yeah I Robin Hood. It makes it sound like I'm some valiant person.

Here's the true story is that after I quote unquote saved you, after I pushed you out, I was driving around and I saw these guys who had a like snow plow ATV like attachment and then a truck. And they were like plowing some driveway. And we have two driveways Technically and like our back driveway is decently long. I'll say two and a half times as long as like a normal driveway I don't know something like it's a long driveway to the point where I'm like, I'm not shoveling that thing

Yeah, that would be terrible and whatever And so I asked these people say hey how much would it cost for you to shovel my, or plow my driveway? And the guy's like, I could do it for 40 bucks. Hindsight, great deal. Should have taken it immediately. Yeah, I'm like waiting for high schoolers to show up at my house and ask. Yes, oh, I, yes.

In the past, there was a guy down the street who has a tractor who did it for 20 bucks. And I think in my head, I'm like, I could get it for 20 bucks from the tractor guy. And so I was like, oh, I'm good, man. Plus I have a pretty long driveway. It would probably take you guys a while. And this guy's like, it'd be no problem for us, man.

We could do it. I mean, and these guys were like high schoolers. In hindsight, it's like, yeah, dude, support the high school kids. 40 bucks, you said no. I know, dude. I was being whatever. I was like, I don't know if I need,

I mean, my truck's just dominating this snow. It's be fine. And so I left and within two minutes, I regret being whatever. I was like, I don't know if I need, I mean, my truck's just dominating this snow. It's be fine. And so I left and within two minutes, I regret my decision. And I'm like, you know what? I gotta find those kids. $40, yeah, I can pony up 40 bucks for this. And so I turned back around, kids are gone.

Nowhere to be found. Nowhere to be found. And so I'm driving through the neighborhood trying to find them, trying to just find anybody. I didn't have to be those kids. I'll do it with anybody. I was actually gonna go give those kids, I had a $50 bill and I was gonna give them 50,

cause I was like, technically I have two driveways. One of them is pretty tiny. Anyway, I couldn't find them. And then what I did end up finding was all these people that were stuck. And so I can't, like, I'll tell a story later, but I can't just like in good faith, just be like watching these people stuck.

I'm not really looking for stuck people. I'm looking for kids. Yeah, I'm more a professional kid scouter. So yeah, anyway, so I found a few different people, pushed them out of some, because the streets by our house in our neighborhood, a lot of them don't have curbs, and so it's just like the ditch.

You can't really tell where the ditch is. Yeah. And so some people were just like half in the ditch and just needed some pushes. So gave some pushes. Trey was telling me yesterday that he like he didn't fully shovel their driveway, but he shoveled like, like a path for like a car to go on, like really like two like tire paths.

OK, he shoveled that. That's funny. And anyway, like really like two like tire paths. Okay. He shoveled that. That's funny. And anyway, Katie's like first time leaving the house in three days and she like drove off the path and got her car stuck in her truck. That's great. I'm sure he didn't care one bit. Yeah.

I'm sure he had no problem with that. He was like, this is hilarious. Yes. So far. Oh, I see all the humor in this. He said like two guys were on a walk as it was happening and he was like they were like snickering. They like they fully understood the situation like the guy had shoveled his driveway and the wife still. That's great. Got the car stuck. Because she had to turn, you know to get out. Yeah, that's so funny.

Yeah, we still needed to shovel our like there's been and then there was another time later that night where there were some plow plow guys down the street. And I heard about it and I was like, okay, great. I'm going to go and kind of like, oh, Bo wants to go with you. Okay. Yeah, sure. No problem. Yeah. Bo can come took him seven minutes to get everything that he needs to get on by that time they're gone. So still looking for plows. If you guys have a plow connection in Kansas City, let me know. Yeah, I think today's the day for me. It's been four days.

No kids have shown up in my life. So I'm gonna buy a shovel, I'm gonna do it myself. Yeah, would you feel bad? So I was gonna pay these ATV plow guys 50 bucks. I feel like, and maybe it's just the inflation of the day, but I feel like $50 to ask high school kids or whoever to shovel my driveway is not enough money for like shoveling by hand.

Yeah, like where you wanna pay them more. Like as a kid, $50, holy cow, yes, dude, I'll do whatever you want me to do for 50 bucks. If a guy is coming by saying, hey, I'm a professional kid scout, $50, yeah, sure, man. I'll get in the van. And it's like, now it's like 50 bucks. If a guy's coming by saying, hey, I'm a professional kid scout, $50. Yeah, sure, man. I'll get in the van. And it's like, now it's like 50 bucks. Like it feels like if they're doing it by hand,

I should pay them more. Yeah, almost like a, yeah. Even though it's way cheaper for them to do it by hand. You know what I mean? Like they don't have the equipment. No, I get that. Yeah. I mean, even sometimes when people are like,

I didn't mow your lawn for 30 bucks. It's like, that's it? You don't want more? All right. Yeah, even your driveway is going to take an hour probably to shovel. Yeah. And my driveways are,

I have your driveway plus another massive driveway. I don't want to do it. I don't want anything to do with it. Yeah, I was kind of hoping the sun would, because it's sunny every day, but it's still cold. No melt. Today's supposed to be 33, so maybe we got a little chance of...

Is that enough? I don't think so. To melt it, sunny and 33? I think it's close. I think it's gonna be a little sloshy now. All right. Now we're getting to the point where it's like, yeah, we're getting messy snow.

It's gonna be gross. Yeah All right, here we go. Here we go. We're sponsored once again by good Rangers. I calm it's Brad and Jake from WK er 610 this fan. Hi, what's going on guys? My name is New Year is my co-host new meat. Hey guys new meat here fresh meat as they call me Yeah, he's brand new. Oh Jake, we crack each other up. I hope other people enjoy us as much as we do, brother. You guys are out there, you're on your morning drive. We're trying to get you to work

I do have a story for you. A and this is I don't use this word lightly, but I'm going to use it today. I had a fiasco. Oh, no. A fiasco on our hands. And you just let me know when you think like, oh, this is the fiasco. OK, is this a mug?

Oh, oh, mug massacre. But yeah, what was the word mugugs occur mugs occur no not necessarily so I've talked about how you had mold then we got the mold removed and now we're renovating our basement it's one of those things just like anybody ever thinks that it's a good idea to do a house project it's never a idea. Just be happy with the house you got. I'm just giving you wise words right now. I would kill to go back in time to the moldy basement. Oh, that sounds awesome. Give me, I don't care if my daughter's sick every day of the year. This is your Bondi truck. Maybe so. It's just like, what have I done? Like, um,

not truly, but yeah. So, and, and then of course, on top of it, the Brad in me is like, like we took out our carpet and our ceilings, and so therefore we need to replace the floor and the ceiling. And I'm like, well, if we're doing that, why not just do everything? Because we have like our walls,

we sprayed them, like spray painted them a while back. But we sprayed over, like we sprayed water-based paint over oil finish, so therefore it's not adhering well. And so every time you scratch it, it just like the paint just comes off. So it looks bad. And so it's like, well, if we're gonna spend thousands

of dollars to fix those two things. Make it look good. Why not spend a little bit more to do the next part? And so that was mistake number one. What I wouldn't do to go back to those chip walls. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That sounds like a fiasco. That sounds like, whoa, there's more?

All right. And so I decide, so then I have a friend, Jordan. Shout out Jordan. Jordan Algy, awesome, ghosty, wonderful dude. Has become a buddy of mine, does table setters with me. And he's a contractor. So I was a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. I hate living in an upside down topsy turvy house. Right now, all the stuff in the basement is in our garage. We're having to do all these different things. So I'm like, Monday, Tuesday, sweet, let's do it. Sunday is when we're supposed to get all this snow. And so I think I was talking to him about this on Friday. So anyway, all I have to say, I have just a few days to tear down my basement before he gets there.

Because he doesn't, I mean, it's not that much skill required to just tear down a basement. Just a lot of work. And so I am ripping things up and making noise and demo. They make demo look so fun on HGTV. It stank. It wasn't that fun? No, dude.

It was Splinter City. It was like, so you're just always getting like, like little pokes of splinters and nails everywhere. Cause everything you're bringing off has nails. So every once in a while you try to grip something, there's a nail, try to do this, there's a nail. I do need my Carhartt jacket. I'm sure it would.

Bro. I have- My Deerskin gloves? I had gloves like this that were DeWalt brand. Shout out, no, opposite of shout out to Dewalt. They said guaranteed tough on there. I had multiple holes in my gloves by the end of it. Maybe it wasn't talking about the gloves.

Maybe it was talking about the human. Maybe it was like, hey man. You better be guaranteed tough. Guaranteed tough, because these things aren't gonna work very well. Because these things are thin. Bro, just annoyed. Anyway, so yeah, just taking all this stuff down,

ripping it all down. and like knowing that I have a timetable of this stuff because it's about to freaking snow like the dickens. And so I'm ripping it all out and then Saturday, I'm like, okay, Saturday I need to get my materials. Wait, yeah, Saturday it started snowing. Yeah, like Saturday afternoon. Saturday I was out about boy was I was out. I was about. So I get up at like, I can't sleep Friday

night because I'm so stressed about all the things I need to do on Saturday. So I wake up at four 30 get out of bed, not till like six o'clock or something, but I'm I order online Home Depot Boy was that a mistake? So we're putting up panels on our wall So like plywood panels and so I order I do my calculations. I need like 22 panels Great, Shawnee Home Depot has 48 in stock easy. No problem.. What, three miles away? Three miles away. I order on Friday, I think, actually. Now I think about it.

And they're saying, yeah, it'll be ready to pick up today. I didn't have a notification that it was picked up for Friday, so I was like, okay, I'll just go Saturday morning and just ask them if, hey, maybe you didn't notify me, whatever. So I go to Saturday Home Depot. And they're like, that's weird, yeah, I guess they haven't been put on a cart yet.

Just go down there and they'll fix it for you. Okay, whatever. So I'm, whatever, just going. And they're like, oh, we don't have any inventory. Like we have four of these available. I'm like, well, that stinks. And they're like, yeah, you'll have to check another Home Depot maybe.

Okay, so I check another Home Depot, order them. And at this point, like my credit card company thinks, oh, you're ordering all these random things from all these random Home Depots. That must be fraud. And so I'm having to enter in the credit card every time. No, fraud, fraud alert. No, it's not fraud.

Let me order again. And then I order and the Home Depot in Merriam says, actually, we're out of stock, so we can't fulfill this. We'll have a 48. Why? Why are we saying're out of stock. So we can't fulfill this. We'll have a 48. Why, why are we saying that we have so many when we don't have so many? And so I'm frustrated.

And so I'm like, oh my gosh. So then I have to go to North Overland Park and order them on there. And I'm having to change all these things on the app. Oh, it's just so bothersome. And then I ordered again. And then like, I'm thinking, great. I finally got it from Northoverland Park.

I'm driving to Northoverland Park and I'm bricked up personal notifications. So I don't get the text that says, Oh, chase, chase alert, fraud alert. And I'm like, I said some words. Are you like, are you kidding? You can't be bricked. I know. I learned that. And all this to say with all this is also like, my kids stayed down at my parents' house the night before.

And so, and Hattie has a birthday party, so I'm gonna pick up Hattie to go to the birthday party, but keep the other kids. So I'm trying to coordinate all that. I'm just stressed out, the wazoo, dude. You go pick up Hattie and you get another text from Chase and I was like, that's not your kid that's fraud yeah why stay out of this prove it yeah show us the code show us her social security and uh so anyway finally finally from north oberland park get

18 more beautiful panels they are great they load them in the truck and they're a little bit slick. I'll say that, but nothing crazy. I do the Brad tests. I'm like, should be fine in there. No problem. I'm driving home from Overland park. I don't go on the highway. Cause I'm like being a little bit careful with these 18 panels in the back of my truck. Do they fit in the bed? Is your tailgate up? Uh, no. Good question. No, it is not. They are down like this and how are they in it? Ratchet strapped. Good question. No no it is not. They are down like this and- How are they in it, ratchet strapped? Good question, no it is not.

I did the Brad tests. You like to just wait alone. Just wait alone. Wait gravity. I'm definitely on the more lax side when it comes to ratchet strapped. Safety. Safety to an extent, but also just like,

it's amazing what doesn't move around at all in the back of your truck. Okay. And so I did the old Brad test and I was like, I'll just be careful. So I'm driving back, everything's going great. And I think, you know what? I'm going to get McLean's. I haven't had breakfast yet. Like that sounds nice. And so I take a detour. I think God was punishing me for the detour. So while I'm on this detour, I, this is kind of a weird aspect of the story, but I'm watching something on my phone. I won't talk about exactly what it is, but it was making me cry. So I'm like, literally like, like having a weird part of the story, it is a weird part of the story, but just add that aspect to it. It's making me cry. I'm like having like this emotional

experience. I would never, sorry, just real quick, like. Yep, shouldn't do it. I would never watch something like even somewhat emotionally driven while driving. It was live. That's so interesting. I'll say that, it was live and I had to watch it then or else, you know.

Okay, okay, okay. Whatever. Okay. And so I'm watching this thing and yeah, kind of watching it, but I'm also in the front of the line at the stoplight. Oh, I see it turns green. I think I'm still going slow,

but I might've lurched it a little bit. Might've been like, oh, that might've been green for a while. Let's go. Yeah, sorry person behind me. Oh yeah, here I go. And then all of a sudden I hear this, and I'm like, oh snap. I think one of them fell out.

And I look back, 17 17 or 18 of those beautiful. No. Right there in the very middle of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Neiman Road. Just a very major intersection. Yes it is. Just, I think Shawnee Mission Parkway is like one of the most popular streets in Kansas City. Yes.

And right there in the middle of the whole thing are all my boards. All but one. All but one that didn't fall off, but snapped in half because of the weight of the other 17 falling. No way, Shawnee Mission Park by Neiman's a big deal. And so I go, oh, I think I out loud, I just go, what do I do?

What do I do? And so I flip a UEE around. This is a fiasco. Now we're talking fiasco brother. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know what to do. There's people going around and there's some people driving over them. I'm like, all right, that stinks because these are like the only panels in Kansas city. Like I can't find very many of these things. And so I park basically on the other side of, it doesn't matter where I I park basically on the other side of, doesn't matter where I park, park on the other side of the intersection.

And I didn't know the strategy. I didn't have a strategy. I was just reacting to the situation. I don't know what I would have done. And so, but I was like, I gotta try to salvage these things as much as I can. So every single time, you know, it was like okay for me to walk across,

I would just like, like hustle, like walk, run over, grab one, put it above my head and just waddle on back to my truck and throw it in and then wait for the next one. And I did that for like three panels. And then finally I turned around and all of a sudden there's like, it was, it was like guardian angels, like all these men like had parked and like were're like coming no to my rescue Yeah, just like random guys and they're like they're like we got this man We're gonna go bring them all over to the median and we'll go to the median and then you swing around and we'll just throw

Them in really quick and you'll be good. What a game plan and I'm like, that's a better idea than me Like hustle shuffle in with the whole panel myself back Excuse me. Oh man. And so these guys, I don't, I mean, truly, like if they said like kinder language, I think they would have been angels. I don't think they were angels based off some of the words they said.

They were like, man, I saw you and you were in trouble. They said basically. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, I know. And so. And they were like, all right, have a good day. Go Raiders. Can you say that at the end?

I, so I pulled around, they threw them all in. And I was like, I can't say thank you guys enough. One guy was like, I was on my way to the gym and I saw you and I was like, I gotta, I gotta stop to help this guy. Wow. And so now of course, every time I see someone stuck on the road, I'm like, well, I gotta help that guy.

Imagine, I know what it feels like to be an alert. So all I have to say had a big old fiasco with the panels, only lost two of them. All the rest of them salvaged. Wow, that's really good. Pretty good. And had to go buy some more, which is just fine. But all I have to say, fiasco, absolute fiasco in the middle of Chimish Parkway and Neiman. What does your basement look like now?

Right now, honestly, if you came down as a, just as a non-observant person of my house, I think you would think, this looks a lot like the old basement though. Right now it has paneling on almost all the walls now. And that's it, basically. We're gonna, I need to add flooring. I bought flooring the other day as well

to put down LVP flooring, so it looks like wood kinda, but it's not. And that's step two. So paneling, still trying to do the paneling, and then I'm gonna paint the paneling, and then we're doing the floors. Holy cow. And then we do the finish work.

And then we do this, and then we do that. And then Holy cow. And then we do the finish work. And then we do this and then we do that. And then, so a lot of work. So if you wanna come over, if you're ever bored. I mean, that just like seems like such a like, I don't know, just like a job, like a full-time job. It has been a- When do you work? I haven't in the last couple, like it was so like, I mean,

I, my friend Jordan was going to come over Monday and I'm like, Hey man, if the roads are bad, you know, maybe this is God's way of telling us we just need a rest. And he's like, that's what Sabbath is for. And I was like, good point. Haven't, haven't taken one of those this week. See you soon. But yeah, just been working nonstop on it. I don't know, for like five days now basically. And it has been a lot of work. That's why I was so tired that one night. So I just, yeah, I've been taking things to dumpsters, taking things, you know, like I was literally like taking, I'll call it 30 trash bags to my truck in the snow,

like in the 10 inches of snow. And like throwing them in there, going in the four wheel drive, and just I have a connection where I can just throw in their dumpster. And so I was just throwing it in there and going back and doing it again and again. It was just wild.

House project during a blizzard. It was like, this is only Brad and Catherine would do this. Only Brad really. Catherine has not really been like super pushy on it by any means, but it's just like, well, my friend's available Monday and Tuesday. I need to take advantage of that time. That could be cool.

So, oh, it's just like, man, I think, I think we would be just content, just fine with the concrete floors and just some space heaters would be fine. Oh, but it'll be all right. It'll be good in the end. But I just, I struggle with house projects. Cause it's like, if you screw something up, you can't quickly fix it. And you don't want to hire it out.

You want to do it. Oh, it's just too expensive. I think, yeah. I think that would just take a lot more time to save up for that than do it myself. So Jordan's kind of like me hiring it out. I'm going to pay him. But yeah, it's, it's a lot. And so anyway,

so the basement is a construction zone right now. Wow. Yeah. Where does Hattie go for her quiet time these days? Yeah. Our room pretty much most of the time, which means we have lots of Calico critters and American girl dolls, the foot of our bed. That's fun. Often. And Perler beads, dude, have you heard of these things? No. She got literally 22,000 of these little beads for Christmas.

Seems like a lot. A lot of different colors of beads. And you put them on these different, like, she has, like, these templates, basically. Like, let's say one looks like a flower. And you put all these beads down on the flower, however you want to design it. And then you take an iron.

OK. And you iron it, maybe with, like, a piece of paper in between or whatever. And then you take an iron and you iron it, maybe with like a piece of paper in between or whatever. And then it melts those beads. I think I've seen this actually. She loves giving, yeah, she'll give them to you. Okay. But bane of my existence is those perler beads.

You don't like the beads. There's just so many. And Henry is at the age right now where he's eating everything. Yeah, that's not good. Not good. 22,000, it sounds like a Mr. Beast video. We have 22,000's not good. Not good. 22,000. It sounds like a Mr. Beast video. We have 22,000 beads.

Yeah. Well. And then you see one that's not ironed yet. It's just on there. And it's like a bomb. It's like a mine. It's like, don't touch that. Be very careful moving that from one thing to the other.

You guys been dripping faucets? Nope. We should probably. I did cover up our hoses. You do that? You guys been dripping faucets? Nope, we should probably. I did cover up our hoses, you do that. I thought about it. Yeah, you've been dripping? Been dripping.

It was, Rachel was the one who was like, Saturday, hey, should we drip our faucets? I was like, no problem. I have learned something about myself. I take a lot of pride in the way I drip faucets. Oh. Just like getting it the perfect amount to where it is technically dripping. Yeah.

But we're losing the least amount of water. Water. I think I'm really good at that. Like you see it like kind of just start, like boil, not boil, bubbling up. Yeah, just a little bubble, boom. The only thing that's tricky is when you've got a hot and cold nozzle.

Two different pipes, we gotta do it. So it's like, I can get the hot one, all right, barely dripping. Now I gotta get the cold one. How do I know if it's barely dripping? Now we got a full drip on our hands, but I find a way. Yeah, you're right. So you find a way.

You look at like how far you had to turn that one to get it there. I get a protractor out. Yeah. Yeah, so I take a lot of pride in drippin faucets. Rachel takes a lot of pride in like using the sink or like using the shower and then not returning the drip back to where it was, even though this was her idea. So I just like full time. Now I just like re drip the faucets. I just walk around the house and just do that. That's your thing. That's

making it hard for you to sleep. It's like, I got to wake up and do those faucets. I just know they're going to get messed up if I don't do it. Yeah. I enjoyed dripping the faucets. And that is, you know, I think I enjoy it now because at any, any day I'm going to come home and Rachel's burning the house down because we're avoiding what's happening in the fireplace. But I got Rachel a space here for her birthday because our back bedroom and bathroom master bathroom master bedroom, because our back bedroom and bathroom, master bathroom, master bedroom, get really cold. I mean, they're like seven degrees colder than out here. So it's like space heater would be awesome. And yeah, she loves leaving that thing on

and leaving the house. So I come home a lot and it's still on. So is it like one of those like old school, like metal space heaters? Are we talking plastic? It is plastic. It's newer. It has a lot of plastic? It is plastic, it's newer, it has a lot of, the word safety's on the box.

Okay, you're fine. She's just gonna throw a cozy earth blanket on top of it. Yeah, as long as it's like, I don't know, freestanding. Yeah. We had one- How much could happen? We had one growing up where you could see the red metal inside of it getting hotter. Getting hotter.

Those things worked. But yeah, those are the ones that are gonna do some damage if you leave them on. I did a little research, I thought it'd be fun to get Rachel a space heater with a remote. I was like, cause that's when it's ideal. Like Rachel couldn't wake up in the morning, on her nightstand, turn on the space heater,

and then it starts getting the bathroom warm and she can wait like 10 minutes and go in there. I was like, that is perfect. This remote, we've gone backwards in history as far as technology goes. I've never seen a remote this bad before. You can't, like if the space heater is this tree, right here, and this mainstream roasters cup

is in between me and you did the remote, it would not work. It like has to be like, like on a direct line, like a direct laser. It's not like wifi, Bluetooth, it's definitely not gonna go through a wall. So I mean, you have to be like two feet away from it, pointing it at it to work. So it's worthless. But it was the thought that I was like,

this is gonna be sweet. Just get like, what's some of those movies back in the day, like holes, like the dad is like an inventor. Just figure out that I was like, this is gonna be sweet. Just get like, what's some of those movies back in the day? Like holes, like the dad is like an inventor. Just figure out like a little like, like a rod or something that you can string up to where she just like pulls it up and it pushes the other part down and pushes on it. Every morning starts off with a Rube Goldberg machine.

Something, yeah. It's a space eater going. Get a marble in there, throwing it around. Some dominoes. Yeah, that'd be fun. Now we're talking. That's a great heater going. Get a marble in there, throwing it around. Some dominoes. Yeah. That'd be fun. Now we're talking. That's a great way to wake up.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you wake up to that and you're like, all right, have a good day. Yeah. Rachel's still without a car. So I drove her to school today. Kind of fun.

Yeah. And I picked her up after school today. So I mean, really just like dad vibes. All right, have a good day at school. I'll see you at 4.30. All right, bye-bye. You'll be good. You'll be good to those other teachers.

All right, make sure you ask everyone how their break was. Right. Yeah, is this the first day back? Yeah. Because yeah, they were supposed to come back Monday and is that right? Yeah, I think kids were supposed to come back Monday. Rachel and I had one day of school last week or something.

Wow. But she hasn't done much long Christmas break. What's, I mean, I don't think I've gone to a school drop off time in a long time. What's school like these days? Well, we got there early today. So I didn't get to see drop off. I would have loved to have just dropped Rachel off in line

with the other kids. And it's like, all right, see ya. But maybe I'll get a taste of that at pickup time. Yeah. Back when I led that middle school small group, every now and then I'd pick them up in school drop off. Yeah. And that was fun. Loved like, I mean, it was kind of like the classic dad move, but just like embarrassing them. Totally. You know, in different ways. That was a few times. I did that with Isaac a few times, but he was never embarrassed. He just thought it was hilarious. We are, it's fine. But we are in the market, new car.

You know, Rachel's got the electric one. It's just too many issues at this point. That was the third strike. So we're like, all right, we're going gas. We don't need two electric cars. It'd be nice to have one that just like, even though mine's pretty reliable, but still just like have one that can like

get you where you need to go no matter what. Sure. Yeah, yours has been very, you haven't had basically no issues, at least with the driving. Yeah. Yeah, squeak, you still have the squeak? Squeak got fixed. Oh, just happened to or?

No, I took it in. Okay, they finally were like, yeah, it's squeaking. It was something that sounded inappropriate. I had a, something with the word ball. I had a ball. Ball joint? Ball joint. I had this rusty ball joint.

It was something like that. It sounds weird. That seems like probably what it sounded like. Yeah, it's like, I thought you had to get my prostate. You had to get that checked out. I was like 50. You could tell right now I have a rusty ball joint. Yeah, what else?

Huh? Well, can you take a look at my throat? Oh my God. Yeah. Oh, is this the ball joint? Yeah. That was the uvula. But yeah, that got fixed.

And so yeah, my car has been great. But, and I do think there is something too, Tesla has been doing electric cars for 10 years. These other manufacturers have been doing it for like one or two. Sure. There's some catching up to do. Well, there's the iPod and then there's the Microsoft Zune. One of them is kind of like a leader

in the technology space and one of them does the same thing. What are we doing right now? Is it called a Zunecast? No, I think it's called a podcast. No, it's not, sure isn't, Jake. So we're in the market for a car. Rachel's had a RAV4 previously. She likes the RAV4.

We're thinking RAV4. Maybe stick within the Toyota family, go Highlander. Yeah, get a four-wheel drive. Today, I was in line at Main Street Roasters in the car in front of me. I've seen it before, but now that I'm in the market, you start noticing things. Sure.

Right in front of me is an amazing color. I know Rachel will love it. Those baby blue Ford Bronco sports. I don't know if this is the kind of car Rachel would want, but she would love the color of this. And how much do you think about the color when you're inside of a car? It's so important.

That's true. And how much does Rachel care so much about everything like that? Cars in general? She's a big deal. She's a gear head gear head. Oh big gear head motorhead gear head. Yeah shift head ship Listen here you shift head What a shift head That's what you call people really into like people that People that only drive stick. Stick shifts. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're shift heads. They just can't, they don't want to do it automatically. So are you like an automatic guy or kind of more of a shift head? Let me guess, you love showing off your little stick shift, your little shift head. Yeah, you pick her up at the pickup line. There's my shift head.

Get in here. Come on, you little shift head. How's your day? Tell me all about it. Oh man, that's great. So in the market for car. Four runners are awesome. You like four?

Four runners are nice. Four runners are like, I feel like hold their value better than any other car ever. Really? Yeah, like. Who makes that? Toyota. I feel like Toyota is the way to go.

Yeah. They're solid. I will say. American made. Can I give you this? They are. Are they really? I think a lot of, I don't know about all of them.

It sounds Japanese. Oh, for sure it's a Japanese company. No, but I think at least Tundras, I don't know about all Toyotas are made in like Texas. Oh cool, I was just being silly. I'll say this though, can I give you this warning? Many Toyota vehicles are made in the United States. Indiana, is that another place that they're made?

Let's do a little trivia. Houston, Texas. Wait, wait, I haven't started the question yet. And Indianapolis, that's my guess, sorry, go ahead. Let me think how I wanna like, all right, all right, here's what it's gotta be. I'm gonna give you the word bank. Here are the cities that some of their models are made in.

Georgetown, you know what, and you have to give me the state. Okay, yeah. So there's two things. Georgetown, Texas. Okay? And you have to give me the state. Okay. Yeah. So there's two things. Georgetown, Texas. Okay. Georgetown, hold on. Georgetown.

Yeah. Blue Springs. Blue Springs. Princeton and San Antonio. Good luck with that state. Okay. Okay, so those are the four cities where Toyota vehicles are made.

I'm gonna give you a model and you tell me the city and the state. Great. Okay, Camry. Which one of those four options is it? Blue Springs. And the state is? I think, I'm trying to remember if that's,

I think it's Indiana. Over to. Kentucky. Ah, dang it. All right. The Corolla is made in which city and state? Really? I was thinking those are like, those are imported. Oh, that's Japanese. Yeah, Corolla.

Corolla's Blue Springs, sorry, that's what I meant. And that's down in Louisiana. Wow, okay, you got Blue Springs and you were very close, Mississippi. Ah, yeah, I was gonna say like, one of the more popular states, but I was like, no, they don't need it That was impressive that you did that. Okay the Avalon

Avalon Georgetown Blue Springs Princeton or San Antonio. So wait, no Blue Springs was not Corolla. No it was oh they'd be again. Mm-hmm Oh, it's the same place as the camera probably which is you're right. I mean, they're like the same car kinda. Which is Georgetown, Princeton or San Antonio? It'd be Princeton. Really? Really? Georgetown? Is Georgetown, Texas? It's Georgetown, San Antonio is Texas believe it or not. Well, there's Georgetown in Austin area. That's what I was thinking.

Georgetown, Kentucky. That's what I meant. Jake? Dude, I was saying that. Okay, Kentucky. That's what I meant. Jake? Dude, I was saying that. Okay, there is one in Indiana, correct? Princeton. And it's either, I think it's the Tundra. It is the...

Or the Tacoma or the Foreigner. You're like close to all these answers. Highlander. The Tacoma and Tundra are made in San Antonio, Texas. Okay. The Highlander and Sienna are made in Princeton, Indiana. There you go. You still knew way more than most, so good job.

Yeah, thanks. I'll give you You still knew way more than most so good job. Yeah. Thanks I'll give you this warning for a Toyota slash Forerunner specifically from what I understand they have they're they're like so Reliable because they don't change that much about them like they're just you don't need a new model that and I think if you buy like a brand new one, Toyota's probably up their game, but for a long time they were way behind the curve on technology.

So just be expecting that. Like, don't be like, whoa, this Apple CarPlay is perfect in this thing. Like I bet six years ago they still didn't have Apple CarPlay. That's funny. So with the 4Runner specifically, they're like, that's not touching.

I think Toyota in general, like Toyota, Lexus, like all that stuff. From what I understand, I could be wrong about this. I know that my father has a Lexus car and he doesn't have car play in his thing. And that's what I learned is like Toyota. Yeah. Tundras and everything else. So there you go. It's good warning. But I think forerunner, Rachel would love it. Rachel would rock it. You get a four wheel drive forerunner. That'd be it. Rachel would rock it. You get a four wheel drive toy for her. That'd be nice. Just in case.

Yeah, you know, very fun. You wouldn't have to shovel. No more shoveling. The car would do it for us. Put a little snow shovel on the front of the car. Get the plow going. So that's fun. Or just get her a big truck.

Why not? Yeah, I made the observation last time I was in Iowa. I was like, I've noticed something about Iowa. You know, my 16th time coming here, I finally noticed something. And that in Kansas City, even in Stratford, if I see someone driving a truck, it is always a man. In Iowa?

Dude. You never know. Can I just say this? There's a lot of girls driving trucks in Iowa. First of all, my sister drives a truck and I love my sister to death. She doesn't, she doesn't fit this mold of, of woman, but most women who drive a truck scare the bejesus out of me. Yeah. It's a lot of, a lot of softball coaches. I'll just say this. Those women think I'm an idiot. Most of the time, like at K state, the girls that

drove trucks, like I could make a joke and they wouldn't think, they'd be like, your charm is nothing on me. Those girls think I'm an idiot. That's funny. They do, dude. They're just like, they just have, they just, they just, from a different background

where they're just like, I know more than you and I know more about important things than you do and therefore I can't be bothered by you. Cause I was in farmhouse fraternity. And so there were girls that dated farmhouse guys that were also from small towns and drove big old trucks. Crystal, I'm looking at you Crystal. You scared me a little.

I mean, in a respectful, I love Crystal, but like in like that girl could beat me up if she wanted to. Not because she's big or anything like just Because she's probably truck has the right fundamentals I know a crystal in college. She was also small but intimidating really you call your crystal crystal meth every now and then I Don't think I ever went there. Yeah, it's too intimidated. Yeah, she would not think it was funny. Yeah. So anyway, shout out. Man, do I love coffee. Nothing hits like it. Nothing hits like it. Nothing hits like it. Yeah. Don't talk to me till I've had my morning it.

It would have been really good at. So our CEO the night before was like, hey, everyone, come to the meeting with like three to five, just like big ideas for 2025. It could be fun to talk about, like maybe making some big bets for the year or whatever like that. So that's why I was like, Oh, Brad would love this. I had 18 ideas. I was ideas are the easiest part of anything. Um, so were they like individual, like pretty individual ideas or was it just like get a dog, get a frog, get a log, you know, like I think there were pretty all over the place. Yeah. One was like somewhere like content ideas. Like let's do 4.0 in America

versus 4.0 in Spain. Gotcha. Let's go to Europe. Yeah. And let's do that with 10 different countries. Yeah. Be kind of fun. Isaac got a similar idea. The PPA is going internationally. He's like, we should do one international PPA trip. Yeah.

Two birds, one European stall. Some of my bigger ones were, let's be the first pickleball company to make a Superbowl ad. Wow. Spent $5 million on 30 seconds. Easy, yeah. And then plus all the production and just, I don't know,

see what it gets us. Yeah, I'm sure it would work. Yeah. I'm sure you would get that money back immediately. Instant ROI. Instant. Yeah, I don't know what kind of company you have to be to like justify that.

But hey, I was throwing it out there, big ideas. Great big wall companies with kind of. Probably. Yeah. Fly to China to see how our paddles are made. OK, we got a fun. Yeah, you know Mandarin, right? You could come as our translator. Oh, a little bit.

Not even trying. That's so funny. Just like weird Spanish. Yeah. I have Heard like Mandarin is all a tone tonation tonation. Yeah, it's very like inflection based mama mama Yeah, he's very different than like mama mama mama mama mama Yeah, I heard English and Mandarin Chinese like the two hardest

Languages to learn there's no way English is as hard as that. I've heard that too, but I just, in my head I'm like, there's no way. I was thinking about this yesterday. Do you think other countries, other languages have a harder time with spelling as Americans do? Like we all, some are better than others, but we all are like not good at spelling our own language.

Isn't that kind of funny? I just had, it was like a shower thought I was driving, but like none of us could spell that well. Yeah. And it's because I think we borrowed from so many other countries that our rules get broken constantly. Could be.

And I wonder if other countries have that same thing going for them. Luxembourg, they misspell things a lot. Spanish, it's pretty simple. Like it's pretty on the dot. It's like phonetic kind of, right? Yeah. Yeah, well, just a thought.

We have it hard here in America. Yeah. Yeah. A few others I want to start there. Yeah. Content series. Pickleball with is what it's called. Okay. Essentially, comedians and cars getting coffee. Cool. But it's like yours across the net kind of interviewing them. You know, what hot ones it's reinventing the wheel basically. But just like, yeah, pickleball with Matthew McConaughey. All right. Pickleball with some Chinese guy. It's just Scott every time and he just impersonates different people.

Well, he didn't have the budget to really get anyone of any notoriety. No one said yes, so we've got Scott. Pickleball with Keanu Reeves. Scott, figure it out. So anyway, that was kind of fun. It was just fun to have those calls and get geared up for the year

and also just like taking big swings, big bets and talking about like, what do we wanna like do? Like let's, our CEO is big on like, let's spend some money. So did you present all those, all 18? Yeah, I did. Yeah? Yeah. How'd the Super Bowl add get?

I think we kind of moved on quickly from that one. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. What else do you have? Sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how'd the Super Bowl ad get I think we kind of moved on quickly from yeah, okay cool What do you what else you have sweet? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, I understand what you're saying Yeah, what else what else okay? Let's see well Some of these are just like I'm not saying this golden gold ticket idea Maybe we'll sponsor else Friday pickleball vending machines at public parks all over the country. You go with the local parks and rec department, we put up a vending machine there.

It's like, hey, come to the courts, you don't have a paddle, buy one right here. Buy one right here. They're on sale today only for two for 99. How do we prevent theft? I don't know. How do we prevent them from cooking in the middle of summer inside of there?

I don't know. Yeah, would they? Maybe, a big black box, no ventilation, like a Porter Potty. Porter Potty sponsored by Friday Pickle. Friday Porter Potty. Friday Porter Potty. That was one of Scott's ideas was like, let's take over another industry or another sport, I think he said.

Okay. Friday basketball, I don't know. Yeah, that's what Just Bats did. There you go, yeah. or another sport, I think he said. Okay. Friday basketball, I don't know. Yeah. That's what Just Bats did. There you go, yeah. Last one, another big swing here. We create pickleball curriculum for elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools across the country to use.

We are, essentially inundate the children with Friday at an early age. On the call, I was hesitant, but also excited to quote Adolf Hitler. And I said, maybe you guys know the quote, he who owns the youth gains the future. What do we think about that? You guys like it?

That was Hitler. That was Hitler. You guys wanna do that? Walt Disney also said similar things about the youth. So something to keep in mind. But go with Hitler, lead off with Hitler. It's funnier to start with Hitler, but also Disney and Coca- things about the youth. So something to keep in mind. But go with Hitler, lead off with Hitler. It's funnier to start with Hitler.

But also Disney and Coca-Cola do this too. You know, yeah. That's hilarious. I love that. Yeah, I think that I like that idea. I mean, it would be cool. That's a big idea. I was talking to Rachel about it

because she knows a little bit about this stuff. She's like, it is, that's a big undertaking. You have to like, it has to be like evidence backed and all this stuff. She's like, but there's companies who would do it for you. Sure. So maybe. Cool.

Pick out a phone. I'm excited to see. What's the latest with Target? I forgot to ask about that. We're doing another call tomorrow. So I don't know. Okay. I don't know what the latest with Target is.

No update. No. What's the latest with working out? Shredded. You know what? Let's talk about it on Wednesday episode. Let's talk about Wednesday episode. Thank you for asking. No more shredded. You know what, let's talk about on Wednesday episode. Let's talk about Wednesday episode. Thank you for asking.

No more bets. I went sledding with my kids. Fun. We've gone three times so far. Just in the last like four days? Yeah, like we've gone every time they ask, it's like unless I have a reason to say no, I'm gonna say yes.

Let's sled. Dude, there's a park so close to our house that's the perfect honey hole of a sledding spot. It's the perfect, like it's deep and steep enough, but not super long. And so like- You can walk up at easy. The kids, yeah, the kids aren't like tired or,

but they also go real fast. Like last night, like now that the snow has been here a little while, it's gotten kind of a little bit packed down and Hattie got some air on the bottom of the hill. Boom. Just like a little bit, but still, it's been so much fun, dude. You love it? Yeah. Bo and Hattie both.

I'm not taking Rosie or Henry, but Bo and Hattie both are so much fun. Last year, Bo and Hattie went at least once, if not twice with me. And each time Bo just like was done almost immediately. Really? Just start crying and like being kind of, you know, whatever. And this year, he's like, awesome. He's so, he's like, like literally eating this, like falling down into the snow in his face. Just obsessed with it.

And like, he did that one time. They've been playing outside so much, which is so fun to watch. Like literally, I bet there was one day where they were outside playing outside so much, which is so fun to watch. Like literally I bet there was one day where they were outside for like three hours total. Wow. Which is awesome. Catherine does such a good job bundling the heck out of them.

Like I took off Bo's mittens yesterday and he had gloves on underneath his mittens. I was like, well no wonder you love being outside so much. But yeah, he fell off the trampoline onto the snow right on his face the other day. I was like, dude, you ate it. He's like, yeah, I ate it. He's just so pumped.

And so, I mean, there's been a few times where he's crashed pretty hard on the sledding hill and he just does fine with it. He just gets up and every once in a while, he'll be kind of like, oh, I didn't like that. One time he's like, I want to go home. And then two minutes later, he's getting on the sled with Hattie again. I kind of imagine like a I want to go home. And then two minutes later, he's getting on the slide

with Hattie again. I kind of imagine like a Looney Tunes character. Like every now and then he does kind of Tweedie birds above his head and he's like spinning his head. He's like, ooh. Every once in a while I'm like, he looks like a penguin. He just gets up and then he just gets back down on his belly and just kind of like moves around down there

at the bottom. And I was like, come on. My signature move right now is called the daddy tunnel where I put my, like they're in front of me And I'm like holding them with my feet and then you know It's like kind of a surprise when I do it's like welcome to dadville population dad, you know And I'm like so you guys doing well boom and then I just like separate my feet and just throw them through as they go And it's they fly down there. It's awesome. So it's been a joy

Just been able to do that with them and watching them play in the snow so much. That is fun. Katie Kennedy, I was talking about, she's like, you go 20 years without playing in the snow. She's like, I'm excited. I want Thomas to be a little bit older. I want to play in the snow.

I think she's been like, Trace, we go sledding. I think we should go sledding. Don't you think Thomas would want to go sledding? Yeah. And you really want to go sledding, don't you? Well, she's also from the South, where like- This is new. Yeah, this is like very new.

And I mean, Trace from Oklahoma, where it probably didn't snow a ton. Yeah, this is probably the most he's ever seen, for sure. Yeah, anyway, it's fun, man. Snow is fun. Snow is fun. Yeah. Especially if you bundle up the right way.

Yes. Like once you get something up your sleeve or something, it's like, well, now I'm bummed. But if you do it right, and you can do it right these days, Hattie and Bo's coats have a notch where you can put your hand through the, or like the thumb through the inside of the sleeve. And so it's almost impossible for them to get snow anywhere.

So the only place they get is on their face. And they just get over it, I guess. Just to eat it. Yeah. Anyway, it. Yeah, so Anyway, it's been so fun and especially with Bo being more tough. Like if he weren't so tough It would not be nearly as fun. Yeah, but he can handle. He can handle. Like we went sledding yesterday for like an hour and we were just there by ourselves just hanging out. It was so much like

We went until probably like 630 at night. It was so fun. It's great. Do you want to talk about slash have you started anything new with Will? Oh, haven't started, no. Okay. I didn't know. No, no, yeah. The last few days has happened.

Yeah, very much so. He texted me or called me the other day. He's like, dude, are you just permanently bricked? He's like, if so, congrats. That's awesome. And I was like, sorry, man. I've been, I haven't thought about anything with this house project thing for the last couple of days. But yeah, my friend and I are, Will and I are thinking about doing something new, a little new development. So I'll let you guys know if and when, but. Yeah. Well, we went over to our house a couple nights ago.

That was fun. It was fun time. Rachel made some hot chocolate. Good hot chocolate. Good hot chocolate, lactose free milk. That's probably why I felt so good. I've been obsessed. I didn't even know it was a thing. Rachel came home with it a few days ago. Hey, I got three cartons of lactose free milk. You're all about it.

Oh, I pound. Cause you feel it if you have lactose? Yeah, well, I didn't know that, but now that we, or sorry, I will say I know it's specifically lactose are, sorry, I will say, I know it's specifically lactose, but it was something red meat, you know, causing or the tick bite causing like, ah, man, like I noticed like Andy's is like, can't happen. Okay. Certain like, you know, way too much cheese or way too much milk.

So I kind of just like pizza. You had that pizza is fine. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. It's, it seems like you have to eat a lot of cheese Where milk is like thicker and like, you know, yeah lactose free milk. So I have cereal all the time now nice Rachel made us Hot chocolate with protein in it last night. Yeah, I would have never even thought of that That's what Catherine does almost every night. She's what? Yeah, she's just just ingredients hot chocolate

And so it's like that's like the brand of this thing. But yeah cool I don't know if it's always protein, but Scott. Yeah throw it in there. It's good another kind of bummer This stupid tick bite whey protein comes from cows. Have you tried it? Yes, and it messes with you Okay, I don't think it might also just mess with you for a little bit. Yeah, that could be it I'll try it out. But yeah, now I gotta find pea protein or. Yeah, they got plenty of stuff like that. Rice protein.

Yeah. Anyway. You getting into the protein game though. Because. Yeah. Time to shred it. Talk about Wednesday. Okay.

Talk about Wednesday. But yeah, it was fun. We went over to your house, watched a little movie. Yeah, hang out, the girls did a little Maj. Got their Maj on. Yep. It was fun. It's great I'm sure it's actually It is for sure already out but for our football fans out there

when we get done recording this episode, we're gonna record a Kind of a football playoffs. What's in her all-time quarterback playoffs Patron episode talking about the playoff preview NFL, yada yada. So if you want to listen to at this point, how right or wrong Brad and I were with some of our predictions over the weekend, feel free to check out patron. See what we talked about. Did you see that? Somebody posted our, uh, preseason predictions. Yeah, they're pretty bad. We were both equally bad. I think we both got three out of eight, right? Mm-hmm some like big misses but some they're like anyone in the national media would have also missed that no one thought the 49ers

We're gonna suck. No, I still have my playoff or my Super Bowl prediction of Packers Chiefs. I think oh, that's fun I think that's who I picked. Yeah, but I don't think Packers are doing it. I don't know. We'll talk about it Let's talk about it. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. Patreon. Yeah Cool Fun wrap this sucker up Yeah, it's a little uh quicker one, but Gotta protect the voice guys

Gotta protect the moneymaker Um, all right. I'm finding my review of the week. Do you have a bluetooth on there? Oh, I bet I could figure it out Why of the week. Do you have a Bluetooth on there? Oh I bet I could figure it out. Why? Just curious. Why you wondering? All right. Go to the Zunecast app, find reviews. You don't know it but you just said said Zoomcast. You don't know it. I love it when people think that we're like actually ignorant about things that we're not. We are ignorant about plenty. Sure. Nobel Peace Prize, ignorant.

Yes, the way we pronounce macabre. Ignorant. Ignorant. Now we know. No, I was just saying it that way so they would have a better chance of spelling it, guys. I knew. And to be funny.

Yeah, but the carburetor thing Hey, we knew that you shot not supposed to jack up the car on the carver here We couldn't show you where the carburetor is But I know that you probably should not look for that Yeah, all right my review comes from VMB pass Really? Volley volley volleyball men's ball. I've been listening to this podcast for, man, my cough drop is in. I'll do mine. It's really small

and I can't talk with it. Let me buy it. Mine's coming from Becca Gecko, five stars. Wanted to write this before the 2028 election. I think I did that one already. No, you didn't. I remember the name Becca Gecko. You did, didn't you?

Why isn't mine updating very well? I'm back to VNB Pass. I've been listening to this podcast for two years and I'm finally all caught up. I couldn't believe whenever I heard other listeners say they've listened to each episode multiple times, but now I'm out of new episodes, so I'm starting back at the beginning.

It's so fun to see how the podcast has evolved and how Brad and Jake's lives have changed. Thanks for all the laughs and for making my time in the car so enjoyable. You're welcome, men's volleyball passer. Lebrito, as my uncle would call it. All right, have we done Justin Holt 42 firefighting ghosties yet?

Doesn't sound familiar. Good. It's a five star review. It says this podcast is so fun. They once had a segment where they talked about the craziest places that ghosties might've listened to the pod. I figured I would throw mine out there. I was a firefighter for a few years and would always

listen to the pod at work, like while working out or in my bunk room at night. And whenever we get a call, 911 call that we had to respond to, I would just keep the pod going on my way there. So there I was sitting in the back of a fire engine with the lights and sirens going off, flying through intersections, running over panels on our way to someone's emergency. In my ear I would be off in ghostly land, listening to Brad and Jake talk about some nonsense. I think it was a form of therapy for me. Help me keep myself grounded in a stressful scenario.

And of course I would turn it off once we got to the scene, LOL. This pod is special, love you guys. Yeah, I definitely don't remember that review. That's really cool to think about. Yeah. I mean in general that conversation was fun, like all different places people have maybe listened.

But during a 911 call and rescue mission, we're just there talking about nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have a segment for next episode. This call, do you That's Boring? Because Laura Wilhite gave us a hard time. I started Putt List's podcast five years ago.

It was fun. Listen, these guys do new and fun and exciting things. And now they're talking about watching documentaries together and being in the sauna or something like that. You think that's boring, Laura? I got some things for you next week. That's a fun segment. Okay, any interest in ending this episode with a jingle?

Interest, sure. What's the instrumental? Look up Counting Stars by OneRepublic. Counting Stars Instrumental is what I looked up. This jingle is coming to us from Hattie Walter Meyer. I met her in Branson. She's awesome. Oh yeah. She ran like a marathon the day before. Maybe she only could make it to the Sunday service, but she came anyway. That's what it was then. I think that was it. She had something going on. Yeah. I think

she ran marathon the day before. Awesome. She's great. From the north somewhere. anyway. That's what it was then. I think that was it. She had something going on. Yeah. I think she ran a marathon the day before. Awesome. She's great from the north somewhere. Yeah. It's Mennonite. But in Springfield living, doing Bible college somewhere down there, James River. Nah, probably not. Man, that would have been the part where we should have heard Sinking and I didn't hear it. So let's figure this out. Sinking. So anyway, you think that's boring, Laura Willeheight? Just you wait. I'll just go ahead and give some shout outs to some random ghosties here. All right. From the top. I was going to say shout out to Glam Gal not 28. I was just going to shout out some people. Outer Banks, Pogue for Life. Shout out Lizzie Grace, 6322. I've been, I've been.

Running around the park instead of catching Z's And Rachel, she's been, she's been wearing smiles Says every day we'll run, we'll be, we'll be running miles I'm running every day, except for the soldiers that got my way Run that mile every day, go to the track of my life's dream fame Run that mile every day, Portugal can't stop R&J

Run that mile every day, Portugal can't stop R&J. Run that mile every day. Airport run when you got there late. Wow. That was awesome. Thanks, Hattie. Hattie, very well written. That was fun. That was a good just reflection on the year. Brad, really good jingle.

I like them all, but that was like, that was in the top 25%. I felt you stomping the foot on that one. It was stomping, wasn't it? I enjoyed it. I've been taking drumming lessons. What if? I haven't been telling anyone, but yeah, I know how to keep the beat now.

I hear you had to be in better shape to be a drummer than fill in the blank. Other things. Guitarist. Definitely. I think like some athletes, though, like professional drummers. Just because they're using their muscles the whole time. Some of the drummers you see, not that in shape. Sometimes people drum with what looks like a paint brush.

They're like brushing it, you know what I'm talking about? Sure they do. Yeah. And as a drummer, you know that they want to be louder or quieter when they use those brushes. Quieter? You would think. And you'd be right.

That's all those lessons paying off. Anyway, good jingle. Hattie, very well written. Keep them coming, dare I say. I dare you to say it. Also, the original song of that. Great song. Yeah, it was fun remembering that's a good song.

How did she choose, of all the songs, what made her choose Counting Stars for a video about running a mile? Good choice. Who knows, man? It's a great song. Fun little bridge in there. Take that money and watch it burn. So better than the number.

Yeah. The little harmony. Take that money. Watch it burn. Timon should be here. Oh, yeah. Timon's not here. We always forget to address. Timon's not here when he's not here. I think they could tell. Well, maybe not. I know. But I, I think about when people

are been listening for 20 minutes and 30 minutes. Where's Tymon? Yeah, Tymon hasn't said anything yet. And then by the end of the episode, they're probably like, I guess he's not there. Maybe they understand when we're like looking at the camera saying like Tymon, you don't have to actually cut that out kind of thing.

Oh, that's true. We did kind of get to that. Yeah, so if you're a smart listener, you would know the whole time that Tymon hasn't been here. Yeah, but basically Tymon's no longer with us this episode. This episode. Yeah, or next episode. But we'll see you Wednesday. I've got some fitness updates. Got some new to talk about. And we're gonna do it. And we're gonna play You Think That's Boring. And maybe who knows what else. So thanks guys for listening. We'll see ya then. Wednesday.
