Our Brains Are Like Squirrels on Caffeine

The wandering mind is both a blessing and a curse - allowing for creativity while often sabotaging our best intentions. In this hilarious, meandering conversation, we explore the countless ways distractions infiltrate our daily lives and how differently each of us responds to them.

Tyler confesses his absolute inability to resist dogs, sharing a story about nearly causing a traffic incident in Atlanta just to pet some pups peeking through Mario-themed wall cutouts. Richard admits that when watching TV, he becomes completely unreachable unless you specifically say his name. Meanwhile, retail environments like the Apple Store, Best Buy, and Sam's Club prove to be distraction minefields for everyone.

We dive into the psychology behind our personal distraction triggers - from the allure of food that makes us sleepy to the irritation of hearing candy wrappers rustling in movie theaters. The conversation reveals how uniquely individual our distraction patterns are, with each host having their specific kryptonite that immediately derails their attention.

The episode takes several unexpected turns, perfectly demonstrating the very topic we're discussing. We're joined by surprise guests, interrupted by an actual dog (which Tyler naturally can't resist), and frequently wander off-topic in ways that showcase how easily the human mind can be pulled in different directions.

Before wrapping up, we share our latest entertainment obsessions in our "That's What's Up" segment, including Netflix's "The Old Guard 2," Paramount+'s "Tracker," and Connection Point Worship's new album. So grab your headphones, try to stay focused, and join us for this delightfully scattered exploration of the distracted mind. Just don't blame us if you find yourself checking your phone halfway through!

Everybody, welcome to a brand new episode of the almost brothers podcast. On today's episode, we're gonna be talking about distractions I'm sorry.

Speaker 3:

What'd you say? Exactly exactly. You know my wife say Exactly What'd you say.

Speaker 1:

My wife told me once, like I don't listen to her, I don't know, I can't remember, I wasn't paying attention, but anyway.

Speaker 2:

Weird way to start a conversation, yeah, just distractions.

Speaker 1:

Man, I feel like I am very easily distracted.

Speaker 3:

You are Like just like yeah, but I feel are like just like yeah, but I feel like out of the three almost brothers, I am not the worst at being distracted. You're not. It's the one right there beside you, that, tyler wilkerson. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, oh, ty, ty, random noise king.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and I and it, it. It amazes me that him and live are both equally bad at being distracted yeah, when, when they're on the podcast together. And they're just whoo. Yes, it's like the smallest things and they're just talking.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're gone. It's just like, bro, y'all are lucky. There ain't a dog in front of me.

Speaker 1:

Doggo oh, speaking of that, right there, as soon as we'd be sitting here talking. As soon as the dog goes by, there's Tyler for the next.

Speaker 3:

He's like a lost child and he looks like one too.

Speaker 2:

Bring me to the nearest Puppo.

Speaker 1:

Well, and I get the same way, like if I'm at Walmart or I'm at, you know, gamestop or something like that.

Speaker 2:

Ooh Apple.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, and not the fruit.

Speaker 2:

And not the company. Oh gosh, that's exactly right.

Speaker 3:

He was telling me he went to his Mecca, the Apple store in Memphis the other day, when the doors opened, it was like oh, and he had an out-of-body experience.

Speaker 1:

He was floating above himself, Right man, and it just the workers there. Just, there was something about them, you know, they had a glow to them. It was like angels. Yeah, they're all college dropouts.

Speaker 2:

Dang.

Speaker 1:

So, tyler, like we were saying, that's very rude. Yeah, it was great, it was really really great. Really really great yes it was, and you talk about a place to get distracted in the Apple Store. I went in there for a reason and I'm just like, oh, oh, oh, yeah, I need one of those. Oh, oh, I really need that. Oh, oh, I need it all. And I'm just like, oh, oh, oh, yeah, I need one of those. Oh, oh, I really need that.

Speaker 3:

Oh, oh, I need it all. I'm telling you I'm going to have one of everything.

Speaker 1:

Or like Best Buy.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I'm the worst in Best Buy. I'll forget why I went in, because I get distracted by everything else you remember and this is going back a little bit absolutely that was the best, worst feeling, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because, like my mom, grows to shopping, I'll be over here for the next half hour 45 minutes and they always put it at like the top of the thing.

Speaker 1:

so you're just like looking straight up yeah. And what I loved is they had so many different games you could choose. It wasn't just like one game, it was like oh, here's a list of 10 games that you can choose from and play one of them. So it was like, oh, this is really, really good. It was awesome To me. I feel like that helped me from being distracted, like I think that was a good thing for parents.

Speaker 3:

I think it prepared you for future distractions. You hang out here and I'll be back, Like mom you hang out here and I'll be back.

Speaker 1:

Mom would just okay. I'm going to go grocery shopping. You stay here and then you're good to go. It was pretty awesome. I enjoyed it yeah.

Speaker 3:

I'm sure you did, I did.

Speaker 1:

Do you get distracted at a buffet? Whoa, in what way? Like oh okay, I'm getting that. Ooh, oh, wait, I want some of that. Oh okay, oh, I really want some of that.

Speaker 3:

No, because there's multiple trips you can take. There's no reason to get distracted.

Speaker 1:

Do you get distracted in a music store?

Speaker 3:

I've been in a music store with him. Yes, yes, he does, yes, right, he said like he's got to think about it. We went to a music store up there.

Speaker 2:

Did we?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and you just started randomly playing. And then he's like you at the Apple store. He's like talking to random customers, like he works there, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And he sold a guitar yeah. You're still waiting on your 10%.

Speaker 2:

I'm still waiting on my commission because I was in there playing and I started talking to some guy and he was like oh, I'm trying to find my first guitar. I was like well, here, let me help you out. If you're looking for something cheap, here's something cheap. If you want something quality but still on the cheaper side, here's that.

Speaker 1:

Do you think that makes workers there mad or do you think that's helpful? They still get their commission.

Speaker 2:

I'm doing their job. I'm making it easier. I'm not getting the commission. Yeah, pick one.

Speaker 1:

Until you get a customer in there and, like you're standing there listening to them, it's like wrong wrong, wrong, like.

Speaker 3:

None of that is correct. All of what you just said was incorrect, yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's like no, that's not how that goes. That, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah and other places like sam's club, dude.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I could be in there, just lost for hours.

Speaker 1:

It's like, especially when they're doing free samples. Oh gosh, yeah, man, just like oh, man, well, and then I'm trying to remember what I go there for, and then I've got to make three different calls to remember everything. And then I'm like oh, I've got to get this. Oh, what about this? I'd like to have this. And right gets very distracting. Man, it really does. Life gets distracting. Yeah, your wife ever distract you from what you're doing at home.

Speaker 3:

No, she pretty much leaves me alone. She doesn't want me around she just wants to go do something with yourself. Leave me alone, please. That's funny. Stop bothering me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you ever been distracted like by uh, like by a friend, on purpose, I remember, okay. So we were at the mall.

Speaker 1:

We were at the mall and and um uh, easton was trying to talk to a girl air quote air quote talk to a girl so he like goes over there and he's talking to a girl and then like me and hunter are standing back and we're watching and and waiting on him to get done, and then down the at the end of the aisle, down at the end that tristan is down there like dancing, like just doing a bunch of dances, that's my boy trying to distract, so easton's trying to keep a straight face while you know tristan's over here. It was the funniest thing in the world.

Speaker 3:

It's like that's not a, that's not a good wingman. It was quite funny though.

Speaker 2:

That's when you get the girls like your friend is so funny.

Speaker 1:

What's his name? It was great. It was great. I enjoyed it quite thoroughly.

Speaker 3:

Speaking of distractions, did I ever tell you about the time me and Mike went to Denverver biscuit company for dinner in kansas city? No, maybe he distracted the waitress dude? I swear, I tested this theory.

Speaker 1:

Don't, don't don't shake your head. He's full of crap.

Speaker 3:

This happened so we're sitting there eating dinner, right and the waitress. Every time she would come over, she would talk directly to mike would I think I remember this.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh my gosh, it was so crazy Dog sorry.

Speaker 3:

Oh, my Lord See, distracted. And so I tested the theory. I asked for something specifically. She brought it, set it down, gave it to Mike.

Speaker 1:

That's hilarious, that's not. Can you bring your dog over here? Yeah, that's funny. Acc. That's not exactly accurate.

Speaker 3:

It's 100% accurate.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I saw the dog bring him over. I feel like no don't break.

Speaker 3:

Focus Tyler. Oh my Lord.

Speaker 1:

Muted so.

Speaker 3:

That's funny. That did happen. That's why Jamie won't let us go anywhere together anymore.

Speaker 1:

That's funny. I don't know about that man, I'm a. That's funny, I don't know about that man?

Speaker 3:

I'm a great wingman. I don't know about that. I don't need to be, I think that was made up. It's not. It's not at all.

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure it was.

Speaker 3:

You tell yourself whatever you got to tell yourself to sleep at night.

Speaker 1:

What is one thing that, no matter what Tyler we obviously know yours no what? If you see it, it's going to distract you. No matter how important the task is that you're currently doing, if you see this, if you hear this, it's instantly going to distract you mine is easy.

Speaker 3:

It's tv. If somebody's talking to me, like you have to, you have to say my name. If I'm watching a show you have. If you want to talk to me, I'll gladly pause the show for you. Yeah, but don't talk to me and expect me to know what you're saying when I'm watching my show okay, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1:

I think I'm, I think I'm the same way, yeah I'm the same way with that, tyler. We know yours chinese food as well. Dude, we were chinese food as well. We were in atlanta, maybe somewhere like that somewhere in. Georgia and we go driving down the street. We're like downtown and there's three holes in the wall where dogs come. It's like a dog shelter and they can stick their head out oh yeah, almost wrecked trying to look at these dogs sticking their head out the wall.

Speaker 2:

It was like the eye and the nose hole cut out but it was painted like the Mario Brothers.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

And they literally just come up and I was like I'm about to pull over and go pet. No, we were stuck in traffic.

Speaker 3:

That's how you get bit by a dog.

Speaker 1:

That's how that works. Well, that's how you get in a fender bender. First of all, I'm riding.

Speaker 2:

Listen listen, listen, listen, I've got car insurance Shut up, anyways.

Speaker 3:

So it'll pay for your funeral expenses.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, no, anyways, leave my kids fatherless because you want to go pet this dog looking like Mario. You made me their godfather for a reason. Anyways, yeah, I'm plotting against you. I will have them children, no we were stuck in that one little strip for like 20 minutes barely moving. I was like I could put it in park, go pet those dogs and be back in time before we move any.

Speaker 3:

No, you can't.

Speaker 2:

How long were we stuck there? It was at least 15 minutes.

Speaker 1:

What was crazy is we're stuck there and there's no traffic. He's just sitting there looking at the dogs Traffic. He's just sitting there looking at the dogs there was traffic. He's just sitting there hanging out looking at the dogs.

Speaker 2:

There was traffic. Can we please the Mario dogs Listen? Shut up. Can we please focus on the rules? Shut up, shut up, shut up. He was on the shoulder of the road. You're a liar.

Speaker 1:

He's on the shoulder of the sidewalk. I don't understand why there's people in the road.

Speaker 2:

I'm parked in the parallel spots.

Speaker 1:

Traffic just sucks, it's non-moving.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we know he's distracted by that. He is Listen.

Ah, you can stop doing it anytime. Oh, I can quit whenever.

Speaker 2:

I want, I can. I'm not going to.

Speaker 3:

I like my addictions.

Speaker 1:

And it does not matter. It's like big dog, little dog, ugly dog, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:

I do not discriminate.

Speaker 1:

You could be in the middle of a conversation, like Tyler, I am dying, and he'd be like oh the dog.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, give me one second, I'll be back. Are you one of those that thinks there's no ugly dogs? The what? There's no such thing as an ugly dog.

Speaker 2:

So let's do, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to. Okay, what?

Speaker 3:

I'm right here, bud. I'm not distracted at all. We're going to go into.

Speaker 1:

We're going to go into a segment that we call. That's what's Up.

Speaker 2:

What's up?

Speaker 1:

That's what's Up, Something you're listening to watching a new song, a new movie, a new TV show, whatever it may be. So we're going to start with Richie Rich.

Speaker 3:

What you got, man All right, so I watched the Old Guard 2 on Netflix. It is the sequel to the Old Guard.

Speaker 1:

Rightly named the Old Guard 2.

Speaker 3:

So let me tell you the disappointing part about this movie is it's wide open for a third one, and Netflix has not decided if they're going to make a third one.

Speaker 1:

Ah, Well, I mean, you know, Richard, it does take movies a little bit of time to get writers.

Speaker 3:

It took a long time.

Speaker 2:

Well, Netflix takes longer than most networks to do anything, so it takes time, true, true.

Speaker 3:

But other than that, we started a new show called Tracker on Paramount+. It is incredible, okay.

Speaker 2:

I keep forgetting. You sent me your login info.

Speaker 3:

I can't say that out there on the waves. Now what is? It is. We don't condone using each other's subscriptions.

Speaker 1:

I do Okay. So what is Tracker? What is?

Speaker 3:

It's a show about a guy who is a rewardist. He like finds missing things for reward money.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, okay People and yeah, okay, things for reward money. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, okay yeah.

Speaker 3:

Snap Cool, mostly people. It's what it's been so far.

Speaker 1:

All right, all right, all right, all right. Ty Ty what you got.

Speaker 2:

Um um yeah, you ain't heard it, I was about to. No, uh. One shout out to A couple of friends at Connection Point Church, connection Point Worship. They got an album out and it's such a good album. I love every song, top to bottom.

Speaker 3:

Top to bottom. Is that how albums work? Top to bottom Do what Doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, it's a solid album, it's.

Speaker 3:

Connection Point Worship.

Speaker 2:

The album is called One and actually cool story, so I'll show you guys the cover art for it real quick.

Speaker 3:

Maybe the art to cover the cover.

Speaker 2:

So it's a gentleman holding a sheep a little baby sheep, what do you call?

Speaker 3:

baby sheep.

Speaker 2:

Lamb, lamb Are they called lambs? Kyle Torrance, he's the worship pastor there. He was telling me I hope I don't get it wrong he was telling me when they were doing the shooting for this picture that the lamb and the property they were on was owned by someone wasn't really a believer. And I guess they started talking, having a conversation, and accepted Jesus in his heart that day.

Speaker 1:

That's cool. That's what I'm talking about, man.

Speaker 3:

Always a good thing.

Speaker 1:

Yep, I like it, man, I like it. I haven't got to. I haven't went to the theater in a while, so I haven't got to see any new movies.

Speaker 2:

He asked me last night have you seen F1?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I sure did.

Speaker 2:

I was like dude, you've got to see F1. I'm like wait, did you go with it? Yeah, we all went together, that's right. That's right, that's right. It was weapons I didn't get to go see. Yeah you did not miss anything. That's disappointing because it looked really good. The trailer looked really good.

Speaker 1:

It's good.

Speaker 2:

And I swear like the people that are hired to make trailers are amazing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they can make. Why don't they make the whole movie? Well, they, yeah, and they and they do. And it drives me crazy when trailers give all the best parts of the movie yeah right I don't like that, you know, but I thought it was good.

Speaker 2:

It was good, not great yeah about a six or seven we uh, me and live did watch this movie on. Oh crap, what was it on? It was on peacock, your store um, was it called drop or something it was. Uh, so it's this lady. She's on a blind date.

Speaker 2:

It's a guy she met online and don't give away the movie tyler so basically the plot is she's getting stalked through like yeah, drop, it's called drop, uh, kind of caveat to like airdrop. She's getting airdropped these pictures like do this or your son dies, and it's pretty crazy. But the climax is, I guess, abrupt is what I'll say. It's like all at once I'm like, oh gosh, that came out of nowhere. It speeds up really quick.

Speaker 1:

That drives me crazy with movies where the pace is off.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's kind of what it was.

Speaker 1:

It was on a steady incline and just foot on the gas super quick, that's how the newest Mission Impossible I went to watch and it's like that, but it's high, high, high. I mean the whole time it's like bam, bam, bam bam. It's like there's no settling down, there's no storytelling in those, you know, in the in-between moments, and it's just like this is a lot going on all at once.

Speaker 1:

So it's like this is too much, I mean from the beginning. So it's like you know, you know you need some pacing, some exciting parts, some slowdowns, some exciting parts, and then it just kind of gets a little crazy. But I've been listening to more music than I have in a while.

Speaker 2:

What have you been listening to?

Speaker 1:

I've been listening to like worship music and a little bit older like Elevation songs and stuff like that. We started re-watching Vampire Diaries, so me and Jamie started re-watching that. It's kind of our fall. It's kind of our fall.

Speaker 3:

It's time to kind of transition into our fall shows, into your One Tree Hill. I saw that coming.

Speaker 1:

Yep, One Tree Hill time I do have a question for you since you work for Apple.

Speaker 3:

Yep. So why can't I find any Garth Brooks songs on Apple? Are they not licensed?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, let me check.

Speaker 3:

Because anytime I like search it's just like somebody's cover of a Garth Brooks song.

Speaker 1:

Well, and that's sometimes what happens is like he probably if I were to guess if that's the case is he probably has a contract with Spotify. Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 3:

Exclusive.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, so I've never tried to look, so let's see what pulls up.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because you know Michael's looking up Garth Brooks all the time.

Speaker 3:

Just constantly.

Speaker 2:

Right, get that in my feed.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 3:

Really Well, when I tell Siri to do it, she doesn't do it.

Speaker 1:

Oh well, yeah, Well.

Speaker 3:

Siri's stupid.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Tell her I said so, I didn't say it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sometimes like I know who was it? Joe Rogan. He just signed a contract with I believe it's Spotify or something like that, so a lot of his stuff gets moved over to that. You can still get clips on other things, but then his main live show is only on one thing. So sometimes musicians do contracts like that, where their stuff is.

Speaker 3:

I know that was random, but I was just thinking about that because I I've often tried to find a garth brooks song just through through my airpods and I won't pull it up yeah, and and again I that may just be, I just need to make a playlist and then, yeah, right yeah, but yeah, sometimes it, you know, changes up or whatever.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but yeah, man, anything else that's it. I really haven't. Oh, I've got my DS, you know, so I've been kind of playing it a little bit.

Speaker 3:

Your what.

Speaker 1:

Nintendo system, nintendo DS. Oh, I didn't know, you got a DS. Yeah it's like Is it a 3DS? It's a 3DS, yeah, and it's got playing some older games on that a little bit and just kind of hanging out Awesome yeah.

Speaker 3:

I like the older games, yeah, and.

Speaker 1:

I've been man. Nostalgia has really been hitting me lately, so I've been kind of leaning into that a little bit yeah man. Cool Yep. Well, I sure love y'all. Man Love you back, rich. Stop getting distracted so easily. You.
