Welcome

0:03

Wow. We’re just going to wait on Nate to clean his new Jeffrey Dahmer glasses.

0:08

I know. Whenever he leaves, I’m going to switch these microphones and put that little red thing on this one. He’s not going to know.

0:15

I’m going to tell him six months later. I’ve marked it in other ways. He hasn’t. I have. He hasn’t. He’s not going to know.

0:20

I know. And I’m going to tell him, and it’s just going to— Who’s going to know? You’ll know. What would you do if you found out that you were this close to

0:28

something that Matt’s mouth had been this close to for so long?

0:34

I would just be disappointed. I would just melt. He’d be like, “Oh.”

0:42

Okay, welcome back to Katching Up With Katie. This is our first Katching Up With Katie that we filmed in the new year,

0:49

in 2026. We’re super excited for everything to come. We have a lot to talk about. Not really anything important, but we do have a game planned.

0:59

Before we do that, we’re going to go out of the podcast room and into the mini barn.

Mini Barn Update

1:06

We’re in the mini barn for a moment because I need to show you some differences in Coco.

1:12

Honestly, we did not think there would be a race for who would be first to foal in 2026 between Raven and the mini horse. Maybe for second to foal.

1:22

Her due date is February 10th. Minis can actually foal a little earlier than the big horses safely.

1:29

She’s still kind of early for me, but her udder blew up from yesterday. So, let’s take a look at her.

1:36

She’s 305 days today. I actually just texted my vet because with the minis, there are a lot of females over at the mini

1:45

farm, and we don’t love to handle progesterone if we don’t have to, in the form of Regu-Mate.

1:50

It can cause a lot of issues with human females, with cycles and hormones and stuff like that.

1:56

At the big barn, it’s always a male who gives the horses their Regu-Mate.

2:02

We have our mini mares’ progesterone levels tested,

2:09

and if they’re fine, we don’t give them Regu-Mate. I just texted my vet because with her udder blowing up,

2:16

she’s been laying down a lot and acting a lot different. That’s not necessarily uncommon at this stage of pregnancy,

2:22

but I want to make sure she cooks it a little bit longer. Again, she could probably have a healthy baby at this point,

2:27

but I would love for her to make it another week. So, we might be giving her some Regu-Mate after today.

2:33

She has a nice little clipping. I don’t know if you can tell, but we’ve got a nice little clip job going on.

2:40

You can actually see her udder, so if the baby starts nuzzling, it’s not getting a mouthful of long hair.

2:46

With miniature horses, because they have such thicker coats than the big horses, it’s been known for foals to ingest so much of their mom’s

2:56

hair while trying to nurse that they colic and get an impaction. We don’t want that.

3:02

Yeah, we did a little trim job. If you want to come see her udder, it’s significantly bigger than yesterday. I

3:09

don’t think this is the biggest it will get, but seeing that difference spooked me a little bit.

3:15

But yeah, Coco, I don’t know. We might be having a race between Raven and Coco for who’s going to foal first.

3:21

Hey, y’all. It’s Katie. Did you know that you can bring a little piece of Running Springs into your home?

3:27

And just so you know, if you’re a paid subscriber on TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram, you will always get a 25% off discount with your subscriber code on the merch store.

3:37

We’ve got the cutest merch featuring all the farm favorites, like our mini cows, mares and foals, goats, donkeys, and of course, the mini horses.

3:45

You’ll find t-shirts, cozy hoodies, zip-ups, mugs, and so much more. Some of the designs are limited edition, so when they’re gone,

3:53

they’re gone. But don’t worry, a few favorites stick around at least until the end of the year. We’ve also started adding fun new things like diamond art kits,

4:00

paint-by-number sets, shoe charms, and even coloring books. Trust me, there’s a lot more coming later this year,

4:06

so check back often. And don’t forget to join the email list so you don’t miss out on the new drops. So head over to katyvanvslike.net to get all of your favorites before they’re gone.

4:15

And now, back to the video. Whoa, gang. That was wild. That was crazy.

4:21

We’re going to keep an eye on that. I really hope that she makes it past day 315, at least. So that’s another 10 days.

4:29

That’s just kind of how foaling season is going right now. Raven is the only one in her safe zone.

Foal Watch Talk

4:35

She’s at 326 today, so we’re on the cusp of being on foal watch for her.

4:41

But now Coco is being kind of off, and we’re going to

4:46

have three mares due at the exact same time. It’s going to be a little crazy. So, low-key, I kind of want to just—

4:54

I would compare it to… I don’t know if I can say this. I guess I would compare it to when my wife and I, before we had Lily, had a breast pump for

5:08

milk. She tried it, and then the very next morning we went to the hospital to deliver. Yeah, they tell you not to do that.

5:14

So, of course, luckily she was huge, so we did. But anyway, I think we should just go ahead and stay tonight and kick off.

5:26

But what if we’re a week away? Because we might be. That’s okay.

5:32

I didn’t pack my go bag yet. Nate’s like, “Why are you volunteering us for this?

5:37

I don’t want to be here if I don’t have to be.” Was I in that? I mean, I can just be me.

5:42

He’s like, “You know what? Why don’t I just move in? Only Matt stays. I’m just going to move in. I’ll be on watch.”

5:49

I’ll watch. We are really excited, though, because this is our fourth foaling season.

5:56

The first one we ever did—no, 2023 was our first one. Yeah, fourth one.

6:02

So 2023, we didn’t actually get a single foal birth on camera because y’all sucked.

6:12

And the commitment just wasn’t there. Yeah, the commitment wasn’t there, but now it is. Then in 2024, we got almost all of them.

6:20

2025, we got all but one, and I didn’t even see that one.

6:25

And then in 2026, we’ve got nine full-grown and then three minis.

6:33

I’m so excited for the minis. I am, too. We’re kind of on the cusp of all that, so we’ll talk about that later. I’ll

6:40

go look at Raven, and we’ll see if we need someone to stay over. I think I just want to do it while the excitement’s alive,

6:45

because it’s not going to be there very long. Why do you say that? Before long, everybody will just be dead.

6:51

Lindsay is going to be helping with foal watch this year. She’s never been a part of it, so she’s going to be bringing the vibes.

6:58

So funny watching you through this little gap we have, you and I. Oh, hey. We have this tiny little gap between the camera. You’re split for me.

7:06

Yeah, right with the cord. You think you’ll be able to carry the vibes?

7:12

Absolutely huge responsibility. If the responsibility of the vibes is placed

7:18

on your shoulders, you can rise to the occasion. Absolutely. We’ve got the ping pong table set up, which Nate and I have to revisit. We’ve got a duel.

7:29

We’re going to be doing a lot more live videos. Yeah, that’ll be fun. That’ll bring up the vibes.

7:35

I think there are a lot of different ways we’re attacking foaling season this year from a content side of things. Nothing that would cause any issue to the actual event of foaling.

7:47

Number one priority is a healthy baby, a calm environment for mom, and making all that okay.

7:54

But we have a lot of ideas to utilize the season, so that’s really exciting.

8:02

But what was it you were talking about right before? We’re going to put a GoPro inside the horse right before the baby comes out for a POV.

8:12

Yeah, we’re going to attach it basically to the foal’s… probably the tip of their feet,

8:20

and then as that foot breaks through, it’s kind of a POV. World’s first POV: you’re a horse giving birth.

8:27

I have to tell you guys something. She’s done that. What? Just kidding.

8:32

I was just about to say, I don’t know if we can put it in the video, but I put my hand up the cow’s butt yesterday.

8:38

She palpated a cow. Are you serious? Did you? Yeah. It felt really weird. Nate’s done that. Under supervision of a veterinarian.

8:46

So did Nate. Mine was in a controlled environment. More controlled environment. It was more of an educational manner.

8:54

Yeah, I think I got a good education. It was pretty weird. It was very weird. I bet. Well, because we found out Mabel, one of the Blue Roan cows that

9:02

was supposed to have her baby at Christmas, just hasn’t had it yet.

9:09

And so we had the vet out for a different reason, and I was like, “Can you just check her real quick? I know she’s pregnant, but can you see how pregnant?”

9:17

So her guess is we’re two to three weeks away. She was like, “She got a cycle later than you think.”

9:23

Which I’m like, “I don’t know by who.” So it’s a Jerry Springer kind of deal. We don’t know who the daddy is. We don’t know.

9:32

But right before we started—oh, yeah. What was that? It’s been tossed around that it’s going to be 24/7 SpongeBob and The Office,

9:39

because something’s going to have to be on 24/7. Last foaling season, we had like an eight-season run of SpongeBob in a

Foal Watch TV Debates

9:47

row, and then the same thing with The Office. So what is our show going to be?

9:54

I’m thinking… no. I’m thinking… terrible. What was it? What was it?

10:00

Iron Chef America? No. Food Network is back here. MasterChef. MasterChef.

10:05

All of them are good. Cake Boss. Cake Boss is good. Anything that’s more competition, like Diners,

10:11

Drive-Ins and Dives. Anything Food Network, but more competition. I love it.

10:17

Also, Ink Master. Period. Ink Master, too. Have you seen it? I would watch Ink Master over and over and over.

10:23

Knowing what I know now, though, it kind of stinks to watch, but I can still appreciate it as a viewer.

10:29

Knowing how things are made kind of ruins the lore a little bit.

10:35

What show? Just shows. What are you referring to? Competition shows. Usually, “10 minutes” isn’t really 10 minutes.

10:44

Okay, but you just said it had to be a competition show. I enjoy them, especially food stuff,

10:50

but I do have to put that in the back of my mind and just watch it and enjoy it.

10:55

You have to suspend your disbelief. Suspend your belief. It’s common with people with extremely high IQs that are overly self-aware.

11:03

So, Great British Baking Show. Yeah, that’s great. I’m still in the Harry Potter one.

11:09

No, it’s great. I’m in on SpongeBob. I’m probably out on The Office.

11:14

Really? Yeah. I don’t know. We literally watched all of the seasons like three times. But that was a year ago, and it didn’t stop after foaling season. It kept going.

11:23

What about Hey Arnold? I could be down for Hey Arnold. Little Bear or Big Little Bear household?

11:29

You’re a big Little Bear household. I could make a deal. I would be down for 24/7 SpongeBob and The Office if,

11:40

in between, we get to select an anime. Well, there is no in between. 24/7.

11:46

I am game to watch that one. What is the one… Attack on Titan? I will watch Attack on Titan. I just want y’all

11:52

to watch it with me because I need help comprehending. No, you’re insulting your own intelligence.

12:00

Wait, do you sub it or dub it? We would dub it. It’s a good dub.

12:07

Some dubs are good. We would dub it to make it more watchable for Katie.

12:15

I would just have to really lock in, like you just told me. Here’s the thing: I don’t think I’m passionate enough about learning it to

12:24

use the brain power to watch it fully without someone being like, “That’s because of that.” You don’t have to be. If you get a couple episodes in, you don’t—

12:32

That’s the thing. I am a couple episodes in. Here’s the wild thing: I was the same way. Literally around this time two years ago,

12:40

or a year ago, I was in your shoes. Sat exactly where you sat, said the exact same thing.

12:46

I watched the first episode, I looked at Nate, he looked at me, and I haven’t watched real TV since.

12:52

He started his Attack on Titan journey last year in foaling season, then decided he was

12:58

going to wear headphones, not talk to anyone, and watch it in the middle of the living room.

13:06

Then we realized he was on the final episode, and we look over and he’s sobbing.

13:11

It’s quite the story. Oh, it’s so good. It’s so good. In the middle of everybody.

13:16

And it’s even better the second time you watch it. What makes us think you’re not going to do that again?

13:21

You should expect that because, unfortunately, he doesn’t like us. There are about six different series with new seasons dropping in January.

13:38

So, Attack on Titan—no. Just about six different shows. Oh, six different shows? Jujutsu Kaisen. I have to watch that one.

13:45

I finished Kaiju No. 8. I love that they have a new season coming, I think.

13:50

So, the reality of the situation is not much fellowship. It’s going to be surrounded by nerds. Yeah, but for that first foaling season, we’re going to have fun.

13:57

Yes. Imagine if you just made the commitment. Can you imagine walking in one day and being like, “Did y’all see the new season of JJK?”

14:07

Then Katie has it, and we have everything to talk about. That’d be crazy. Now Katie is a proactive voice for all that horse girl anime.

14:22

There is a horse girl anime. But no, you made a horse girl anime. We’re getting ahead. And then you voiced a dub.

14:30

Yo— Chat, chat… I’ll contact my—

14:36

We’re getting very ahead of ourselves here. But anyway, Food Network. I’ll find something. It’s going to be the move.

14:41

Also, here’s the thing: I felt very squashed in game play last year.

Foal Watch Games

14:47

I felt like no one wanted to play with me. I felt like the vibe was down.

14:52

I am a game player. I like to commit, and I need y’all to fake it, honestly,

14:59

and just play games with me. Okay, what games are you willing to play?

15:07

Will you pull your mic down a little bit? It’s hiding your mouth, so you can’t read your lips.

15:14

So, what games are you willing to play? I’m generally willing to play chess.

15:21

I don’t know how to play that, but we’ll teach you. It’s fun. Do I have the brain power for that?

15:28

Yes. To win? Maybe not.

15:33

That’s fair. Monopoly. Dungeons and Dragons. Why not?

15:42

We could literally have a campaign that ran the entire foaling season. It’s literally anything. It’s the story.

15:49

Hold on. I have a great idea, and I actually think this is a great idea. We play Dungeons and Dragons, and it’s everybody’s first time. Everybody’s first time.

15:58

That’s what we stream. Yeah. We stream us playing Dungeons and Dragons. We set that up, and they’re like, “If we’re on foal watch, the campaign goes on.”

16:08

And it’s everybody’s, because this is very popular, by the way. Everybody’s watching our story, our decisions, and what we decide to do.

16:15

The story could be a regular foaling set. It doesn’t have to be so crazy in-depth, you know?

16:22

Now, it’s fun because you can be a sexy alien.

16:29

I’m going to print out—if you want, this is right up your alley. You get to create the character. Literally be anything. You get to create what you’re good at,

16:39

write your backstory, and how your character would interact with the world. We’re doing this.

16:44

Now we have four people as a writer. You would love it. Okay, I’m not saying no.

16:49

What are some games that are like a one-nighter that you’d be willing to play? Sorry.

16:55

For what? That’s the game. What’s that? You’ve never played Sorry?

17:00

No. I also would love if y’all would have the opportunity of

17:07

Catan a few more times. I’ve never played, and I would love to play. Why do you hate Catan? You liked it before I started playing.

17:14

I like Catan because at least Catan has an end. Maybe if we got a quicker end to Monopoly. Maybe if we got a different version of Catan.

17:23

Why do you not like this version? I like this version, but there are different versions.

17:29

I can get behind it a lot easier if you have committed to Dungeons and Dragons.

17:36

I could get behind anything. Yeah, I mean, Dungeons and Dragons has had a huge resurgence. It’s back. It’s cool.

17:44

There’s Stranger Things. There’s a group called Dimension 20,

17:50

and they do it live. There are events. They just sold out Madison Square Garden, and they’re literally on stage playing

17:57

Dungeons & Dragons. People are watching because the stories just keep going. It’s like going and watching a play, and you decide, “Hey,

18:05

somebody bust through that door. What do you do?” I would encourage it. I would dress up. I’m going to be a sexy bartender.

18:14

Sure. Like, the dream scenario. I do fantasy, and you get like— I don’t want to do fantasy.

18:20

What? You don’t want to do fantasy? I said you’ve got to do fantasy. She said she’s going to be a bartender. Why can’t I be a fairy bartender?

18:26

You can. You can be… you can be a regular person. I want to be a regular person.

18:31

But you can. But I don’t want to. You don’t have to. We have books on it.

18:36

You can get a starter game that has a starter story. Medieval. No, I’m going to print out—print out.

18:42

You can be an orc. You can do anything. You can be a wizard. You can be a Catwoman. You can be a wizard. You can be—

18:48

Let me get some literature. Can we come up with a theme that we stick to if we’re going to play it? Yeah, you do. So, the DM—one of us—would set it in medieval times,

18:56

for example, and we’d have a plot. There’d be a time period you’re in. Yes. Here we are in medieval times. We are all four knights, for example.

19:08

And here’s the start: you get a letter that you open,

19:14

and it’s like, “The year is 1546. You’re all sitting around a table at the parlor.

19:27

This is happening in the background. This is going on. The smell in the air is this.”

19:34

This is where you are. You hear a noise outside the building, and something happens.

19:40

You turn to see the barkeep, who makes a face like this has happened before,

19:48

and suddenly reaches under the table to grab something. What do you do? And then you go, “What do you do?”

19:54

You roll, and whatever you say you’re going to do, you have to roll. Then it works,

20:00

or it doesn’t. There are consequences, and the story changes based on what you did.

20:07

Were you effective? Did it work? It could have 15 different endings. So you say, “I want to go ask the bartender what his problem is,” to some degree.

20:19

It’s skill and decision-making. You have to make smart decisions. You might make a stupid decision.

20:25

You’re walking down the road. You see a fork in the road. One goes right, one goes left.

20:30

Down this path you see blank, blank, blank. Down this path you see blank, blank, blank. Which do you choose? Maybe you pass a field full of beautiful flowers and decide to pick some,

20:38

and then I tell you they’re poisonous, and you’ve got three days to live. Or you say, “I want to go right,” but you roll the wrong number. Or your character wants to go right, but you get outvoted and everybody

20:48

goes left. Now you’re on your own. Are you going to keep going by yourself?

20:55

It gets crazy. And guys who do it like Madison Square Garden, their stories are insane. They have tables with immersive screens underneath.

21:04

If they’re going through the ocean, you’ll see waves moving. The lighting changes. You

21:09

can build a table with a TV underneath it, have a haze machine—just have your character…

21:14

So who writes it? The DM. The dungeon master. They have all kinds of preloaded stories. You just need a dungeon master—somebody.

21:23

So if I did it, I would essentially be the storyteller. So, do you play? Yes.

21:29

No, you’re not a player. You’re the architect of the story. And the really good ones have binders. They have lore. Because if you have a question,

21:42

I have to have an answer for this made-up thing we have. So who’s going to be our dungeon master?

21:48

Probably one of us. One of us, just because we’ll probably put in the effort to make it good.

21:56

I feel like one of us is going to print out some characters. Personally, if it’s all of our first time, I’d get an example story—starter packs that

22:04

have a starter story and starter characters. I would do that first. Yeah. Then we can branch off.

22:09

Let’s do some research. We can branch off. But anyway, we’ll get together and we’ll order something.

22:14

The first step—this is it. It’s happening. All you have to do is print out your character sheet, fill it out,

22:21

make your character, and show up ready. We could be making our character sheets. Be ready to get tossed into a story,

22:27

into situations, and you’ve got to figure out what to do. And I think it would be cool if we had a preloaded story that all four of us

22:39

could play since it’s preloaded, and we could look and see what the things are.

22:45

But other than that, it would just be one DM. Anyway, I think you’ll have fun.

22:51

Okay, so speaking of games, I’ve been dying to know what this is. Okay, so Matt has been—

Game Time

22:56

It’s not that special. So we decided we’re going to play this little game to end today’s episode. I

23:03

don’t even know what this game is called. I saw it on social media. So how you play: there are two players. You each have letters to start off with.

23:12

Each player knows what these letters stand for. You’re trying to guess what your opponent’s letters stand for.

23:21

So let’s say the first word— I don’t want to use mine because I already came up with it.

23:26

So the first word you say… don’t give the first word. You might, but we’re not going to.

23:33

You could use “cow.” Cow. Bell. Bell tower. So, the first letter is C: cow. The next letter is B: bell.

23:40

Yep, that’s correct. And then the next letter down only has to go with the word above it.

23:47

It doesn’t have to go with the whole theme. It can kind of dance around. So if we’re going back and forth and I guess it correctly, I get to keep

23:54

going. If I guess it incorrectly, it goes to her turn to guess mine.

24:01

Got you. And I think you can ask for a hint, and instead of guessing,

24:08

you ask for a letter. Or a hint, or whatever. But you’re giving up your turn.

24:14

Gotcha. And I think that’s about it. So we were going to play rock, paper, scissors for who goes first. So y’all two are going against each other.

24:21

Yeah. Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot. Okay. My first word is camera.

24:29

What’s your first word? Shark. Shark and camera. Shark. Okay, I’m going to keep mine up.

24:36

Yeah, keep it up. Okay. Rock, paper, scissors. Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot.

24:43

All right, I go first. Okay. The letter is T under shark. So I’m going to say “shark tail.”

24:54

No. Okay, then I got it wrong. So now it’s your turn. What is it? An M.

24:59

Cameraman. Yes. Okay. Man-child.

25:06

I didn’t think you were going to get that one. Okay. I would have. I wouldn’t have. I would have said “man camera file.”

25:13

You’re not going to get this one. Are you sure? Yes. I’m thinking of a Vine.

25:19

A child. I can promise you. You’re so barefooted. You know what Vine I’m thinking of?

25:26

Yes. A child. That’s what I’m thinking of.

25:32

I thought you meant a type of vine. I was like, “What?” No, it’s like a Vine video. No, I know.

25:38

Okay. Can I have a hint? Okay. You get a letter.

25:43

You do a letter. Yeah, because you might give a good hint versus a bad hint, and the letter rules—so you gave up your chance.

25:51

That’s fine. Guess now. Okay. Not “shark tail.” So it’s shark…

26:10

Is it so obvious? Oh, big time. I mean, I could be wrong. Tooth.

26:15

No. See, now that was a good one. I didn’t think of that, but that’s a good one.

26:20

But that’s definitely not it. Clearly, I’m having a hard time.

26:27

Also, I just changed my answer because now I’m thinking it’s something different, too. Anyway… okay. I’m going to have to ask for a hint on the next one. Or a letter.

26:48

I need another hint. No, another letter.

26:54

Or if you want a hint instead—like a regular hint. No, a letter. I don’t even know how to get— It’s hard to be fair with hints, because what if you give a bad one?

27:02

Okay, I need a letter.

27:10

No, that doesn’t help me at all, because I already said “shark tail.”

27:19

I have a hint if you want. Well, now she already gave me the letter.

27:25

Okay. Child… read. Child reads.

27:31

No. Okay. Shark.

27:39

Only one possible answer, and I’m blanking. I know. That is the worst.

27:46

I can give the best clue of all time. Go, clue. I would like a clue. All right. Here it comes. And you can’t guess until the next time.

27:53

I’m worried. This is your clue.

28:08

I got it. Okay, I’ll wait. You have to go. Okay. Cameraman. Man-child.

28:16

What the heck? I’m having a hard time.

28:22

Did you guess? Oh wait—no. I got my hint. I can’t guess until next time.

28:28

Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s where I would go.

28:35

Real. Such warm breath. You say real. Mhm. No. Okay.

28:41

Hank. Mhm. It’s also different being the ones holding the board.

28:48

Hank top. Okay. See, she’s on a roll. No, here she comes. She’s cooking. I now also understand how the game’s played. Top down. Down… load.

29:01

That was good. Is that one word? “Load” is a word.

29:08

Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. Load up.

29:13

Wow. Wow. You’re cooked. And it can’t be right…

29:19

Uptown. It is. I would never guess that. That’s funny. Can I win? Can I guess?

29:26

You want to guess? Child rearing. Yes. Rearing. Hold on. Hold on. What? I want to do it right.

29:32

You’ve never heard of child rearing? Child rearing. Rearing horse. Yes.

29:39

Horse foal. Billy. No. Billy’s “P.” Nope. No, Billy is not “P.”

29:47

Matt, it’s so simple.

29:55

What is it? Horse, Lindsay.

30:02

Think simpler. Think simpler. Field. Farm. Farm. Horse farm. It’s a horse farm. Got to be a horse outside.

30:10

Rearing was—I win out of our— No, it is not. I had rearing. I had— we’re going to get very early. Whatever.

30:18

Hey, I couldn’t get Shark Tank, though. She couldn’t get Shark Tank. That was wild. That was odd.

30:23

All right, here you go. All right, boys. Now you have to do it. All right, turn. Yeah, turn to where they can see it.

30:30

Okay. Mountain and water are the first words. We did rock, paper, scissors to see who starts. Y’all should do that.

30:43

Got it, Nate. So, water, and then F underneath it. Water fountain.

30:51

Okay. All right, Matt, what’s the letter under mountain? C.

30:56

C. Oh.

31:06

Oh, I think I know. I think I know as well.

31:15

A mountain sea. A mountain sea.

31:23

Wish it was the…

31:31

“B.” Truthfully, the follow-up was necessary, right?

31:42

I really don’t know.

31:47

I don’t want to be a coward and get a letter on the first try. Crevice. It’s really not. What’s crevice? I’m stupid.

31:54

No, you guessed though. I’m going to go waterfall.

32:00

Crevice. Look at that. Out of all words, crevice.

32:10

Okay. Waterfall. Let’s go. Fall off. Okay, just get a letter.

32:19

Yeah, you want a letter? Yeah. R. All right. Oh, and that doesn’t help because that goes with crevice.

32:25

Well, it just fuels what I was going to say had I not gotten a letter. It’s not the word I was thinking of.

32:31

Really? What were you thinking of? Climb. We don’t need to climber. That was—I never thought about that.

32:37

Hey, easy. Well, that’s not it. Yeah. Four T’s. That’s what I got excited about. You just saw that.

32:45

Yeah, I just saw that. Go ahead.

32:52

I don’t know why I immediately looked at you. I’m sorry. Yeah. What did I want to do? It was in his ear.

32:58

Over. Oh, okay. Interesting. Oh.

33:03

That’s what I thought. I thought it was over. Crack. No. No.

33:10

What else? It’s an O, right? Yeah. Waterfall. What’s up?

33:16

All CR. What? Okay. Sims, dude.

33:23

On. Nope. This is interesting. Yours is interesting. I feel like mine’s significantly easier than yours.

33:30

Really? Okay. I’m not getting it.

33:37

Oh, I know what it is. Nate, I know what Nate’s is. No, I know what yours is. I really don’t.

33:44

I don’t need a letter. Oh, you need a letter. Watch it be—

33:56

Creviced. He’s like, “It’s boss.”

34:02

Give me a letter. I can’t. You’ll know. Well, he can’t guess it until the next time.

34:08

I can’t guess until the next time. Oh, okay. Your turn.

34:17

Creek. No. Really? Um, fall out…

34:26

And then from there… outside…

34:31

He’s going to get it. Okay, there are multiple ways to go.

34:39

Many.

34:47

Sideways. Okay. Oh, okay. I was thinking that one needed to go. I had to go with—

34:54

Give me a letter. I’m going to have to bank on getting on a roll with these last four. V.

35:01

Okay. Ah.

35:08

Is that what you thought it was? Yeah, I’ll take a letter.

35:18

You’re just stretching it out. I’m not.

35:23

Crest. Yes. White strips.

35:29

Okay. Mountain. You get to keep going. I know. Crest. What?

35:36

Don’t say something that you don’t mean.

35:42

I mean… not a clue. Not a clue.

35:50

I don’t even know. Do you have any?

35:56

Oh, no.

36:01

Do I get a hint? You can’t. I don’t know how I would give you one. You can ask for a letter.

36:08

I’ll do a letter.

36:14

Yes. Okay, that was what I was going to say, probably.

36:19

Sidewalk.

36:25

Walkway.

36:33

All right, what you got? Top. No. What is it? Toothpaste. Toothpaste. Oh my gosh.

36:41

But you said white strips, and I thought you were blowing the whole thing. Not even in the same atmosphere.

36:48

So yeah, let me write it then. Okay. Toothpaste… top.

36:57

No. What’s the second letter?

37:04

Tube. Tube… top. Nope. Top. Not tube top.

37:14

I’m realizing now, that was a good line. Tube top. I didn’t even think of that. Tube.

37:22

See, what am I doing with that? I had walkway. What am I doing with that? Tube… tube TV.

37:33

See, bro, we’d have been here for 45 minutes. I’d have never gotten that. Sure. TV tray. Whatever.

37:42

You know, an old tube TV. I don’t know that. Tube TV. What is tube TV?

37:51

Oh, I thought you were referring to YouTube TV. No, no, no, no. This kind of TV. An old tube TV.

38:00

Oh, got it. Got it. I wish we had: mountain, crest, crest, toothpaste,

38:07

toothpaste, tube, tube TV, TV tray, and a string of T’s like you’ve never seen. I got so excited.

38:16

Okay. Do we play now? We can make it shorter on film, just to see who wins the game as a whole.

38:23

Yeah, sure. Okay, give me back— Well, then we won’t have one.

38:28

Well, Matt, you don’t need one. Why? Because you didn’t win. Me versus Katie. All right. And now it is time for me to beat Nate and be the

38:36

overall winner. So we have to do rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first.

38:45

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Shoot.

38:52

Okay. Let me finish writing my letters.

38:59

What’s your first word? Moon. And the second letter is L.

39:10

Yeah, I got all of yours. I might be wrong, though. They’re not hard. I know. I could be wrong.

39:24

Light. Okay.

39:39

It’s a good one, too.

39:52

I’ll take a letter.

39:57

Okay, now I get to guess on yours.

40:04

Shine. No. Really? What?

40:12

Okay, okay.

40:24

I mean, I’m at a loss.

40:30

Lies. Oh—wait. What’s it say? Don’t say nothing. Are you tracking?

40:44

Okay, I need a letter.

40:51

I’m lost. Okay. Sun.

40:59

Set. No. What? Really? I should have known that he wasn’t—

41:05

Is it words that go like… it would be “milk chocolate”… “fountain.”

41:16

It would have to be words that are together. It can’t be like splitting a word in half.

41:23

Milk chocolate… chocolate dessert. No, it could, but what I’m saying is it couldn’t be like camera, lens,

41:36

lens, tripod. It couldn’t be words that are just in the same category.

41:43

They need to go together. It would have to be like a phrase, like “moonlight.”

41:49

I’m worried that it might not be the one she’s guessing right now. Yeah. Pause. Let me double—

41:59

You’re still on me, right? Am I on you? Is it my turn? I think it’s your turn.

42:05

Okay. I’m going to need a letter, I think, if those two are not—

42:12

Well, now I feel like I’ve—

42:19

I was so sure on that, but now I’m second guessing. Okay. Well, I can’t guess until my next turn.

42:26

Saber.

42:37

Sabertooth. This next one’s going to be tough, I think.

42:44

Tooth fairy. Oh, nice. Oh man. Clutch.

42:53

Fairy godmother. Nope. Oh no. That wasn’t my instinct.

43:00

You caught yourself. Yeah, you heard me stutter almost. Yep. Nope, that’s not it.

43:08

Sun— Again.

43:19

I’ll apologize. I think this is what it’s called,

43:28

but it may not be what it’s called, and I hate that I’ve done this.

43:35

I told you I was struggling. I can’t believe you’ve done this. I can’t believe you’ve done this. Ah. I hate that it’s gone this way.

43:43

I mean, you’ve won, for sure. I don’t know. Yeah, but it doesn’t feel right. So happy you stumped us.

43:49

It doesn’t feel right. I think I’m going to need another letter instead of just shooting off the hip. I’m going to give you another guess as well.

44:01

Okay, I think I got it.

44:09

I’ll even allow you, because it almost feels wrong to me. I feel like I’ve messed up somehow.

44:17

I would even go as far as to provide this word and continue. I’ll give you: shade.

44:23

Yes. What would you— I guess those are the things that you put in your car.

44:29

You put in your car. No, that feels real. I just don’t know how to proceed now because I didn’t get it.

44:36

I’m just going to give it, because I had already offered the word.

44:42

Okay. I wouldn’t have known that was what they were called. He made me think I had gone way too much.

44:48

Shade tree. Yeah.

44:56

Tree branch. No. No. Berry garden.

45:02

Yep. Really?

45:07

This is where I thought the trip-up would be, not at sunshade. So, tree. All right. What is it?

45:14

Treebeard. No. I would have never gotten that. See, that’s where I thought you would be stumped. Do you know what that is?

45:20

No. Treebeard is the giant tree character in Lord of the Rings. Never seen it.

45:28

Treebeard does go together, but you’ve got to know Lord of the Rings. You have to know that character.

45:36

Well, know your audience.

45:53

Hair. Hair net.

45:58

Yeah, I thought Treebeard was the stump, not sunshade. And then Treebeard is—

46:04

Next time, we will limit it to not characters. No more characters.

46:10

I just thought that was the one I was most excited about: Treebeard. Well, here’s what I thought would happen. I thought you would get through sunshade quickly,

46:19

get to tree, get stumped, have to ask for a couple letters, then be like, “Beard,” and I’m like, “Yep.”

46:26

Then you would get beard, hair, and net really fast. I thought we would fly through this, maybe a couple turns of being stumped here.

46:34

And I thought I’d probably be stumped on one of yours, which I was. Saber got me.

46:40

I thought you had clocked it immediately, and I couldn’t be like—because showtime.

46:49

That’s where we didn’t get to shade fast enough. I thought I’d messed up, and I knew you were going to struggle with Treebeard,

46:54

and it just felt not right. Okay. Well, I hope y’all enjoyed the game. I’m sure they will make it a lot more exciting in post.

See You Next Time

47:02

Well, it’ll be so fast. It was during this, because it took way longer than expected. But let us know any other games you think we should play,

47:08

or topics that you would like covered in future episodes. I think the next episode needs to be a Q&A.

47:14

So, if you have any questions, especially going into foaling season, let us know in the comments. And thank you for being here. We’ll see you in the next one.
